Li Cunxu was utterly astonished.
It turned out to be a destiny-related talent, and it even granted Xiaoyi the supreme attribute of destiny.
Attributes are divided into three categories: ordinary attributes, high attributes, supreme attributes.
Ordinary attributes: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth...
High attributes: Spirit, Dragon, Undead...
Supreme attributes: Holy, Destiny, Time, Space...
[Destiny Weaver: Construct a brand-new destiny path, no one can escape the control of the destiny web.
Feature One: Destiny Netting, influence others’ destinies, and obtain universal destiny points.
Feature Two: Destiny Point Allocation, destiny points can increase skill proficiency, enhance self-attributes, and with a massive cost, can evolve oneself toward destiny.
Feature Three: Destiny Alert, if someone within the destiny net holds harmful intentions towards you, it can be detected.
Feature Four: Heavy Destiny, the larger the destiny net woven, the higher the affinity for destiny.
Feature Five: Destiny Invisibility, others cannot perceive its destiny nor the destiny of its Beast Master.]
"Isn’t this just like the deep-blue point system in novels?"
"It’s on par with Xiaoruan’s Soul Kingdom in its Divine Kingdom prototype Slime."
Li Cunxu marveled.
He also understood again why the future prophet sealed the Black Prisoner.
Perverse, really perverse.
"However, how do you influence others’ destinies to gain destiny points? Does helping an old lady cross the street count as influencing someone’s destiny? I’ll try tomorrow."
"Alas! I’m too weak to obtain a seed of destiny skills, leaving you with the destiny attribute but no skills to use." Li Cunxu suddenly lamented.
The little white spider shook its head indifferently, already quite content with bearing the [Destiny Weaver] talent.
Not having a destiny skill seed isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Exposing that the little white spider has a destiny attribute carries a risk of being taken away.
A Beast Master’s contracted pet can be taken away by either eliminating the Beast Master, thereby allowing one to seize his contracted pet—though the contracted pet would also suffer backlash due to the master’s demise—or by using some peculiar ability tool to sever the contract with the pet.
Due to the exceptional gifting of Xiaoyi, Li Cunxu was too excited to sleep at night and ended up staying up to study the art of mental sealing.
There were many tutorials on how to learn the art of mental sealing, which Li Cunxu watched frequently but hadn’t mastered over time.
First, his spiritual power had been inadequate, insufficient for Li Cunxu to experiment.
Second, learning the art of mental sealing required a master to guide using spiritual power on site; learning it purely by oneself was quite challenging without a master’s direct teaching.
With dawn breaking, sunlight gradually peeking through, golden rays enveloped the grasslands.
Li Cunxu rose early, taking the little white spider to test the divine gift talent [Destiny Weaver].
In Old People’s Park, on the square in the park, a group of elderly people practiced Tai Chi, their movements slow yet forceful, their faces adorned with serene smiles, with each move revealing the accumulation of years and inner peace.
The Old People’s Park had many elderly people; Li Cunxu originally planned to have the little white spider help an old lady cross the street, only to discover that he hadn’t considered thoroughly— the little white spider was too short, who could it assist?
If it avoided getting stepped on by others, it would already be a good thing.
"How could I influence other’s destinies?"
"Sss~ (How about a game of chess?)"
Following the direction pointed by the little white spider, Li Cunxu saw under a big tree several silver-haired gentlemen engaged in a game of chess, the crisp sound of the pieces echoed, and each move was calm yet focused, seemingly wholly absorbed in the tactical exchange at the Chu-Han border.
"Setting out at six in the morning just to play chess, these chess fanatics!"
Li Cunxu turned his head, puzzled, and asked the little white spider: "Do you know how to play chess? Wait, didn’t you live in the Poisonous Forest Secret Realm? How do you know human chess?"
The little white spider replied: "Sss~ (In inherited memories, there’s a Widow Red Spider Queen who especially loved chess, I have a ton of her memories.)"
The Widow Red Spider Queen was always known for her ferocity; who would’ve thought such a fierce pet beast could also play chess—it was somewhat akin to the abstract concept of a tiger using an embroidery needle.
"Let’s go have a look."
Watching from the side, waiting for the elderly to finish their game, Li Cunxu spoke:
"My pet has some chess tidbits, but I never knew its level, I’d like to ask you all to help test it?"
Had it been Li Cunxu, the elders wouldn’t likely agree—youngsters could easily thrash him, so there’s no worthwhile competition, a waste of time—but it was different if a pet beast played; playing against a pet beast would be far more entertaining than against a young person.
It’s like beauties dancing might not attract a crowd, but if a mouse were dancing, the crowd would be huge.
The elder who had won beckoned.
"Come, come."
"Xiaoyi, go ahead."
Under the park’s big tree, an absurd scene unfolded, a group of elders playing chess against a White Little Red Spider, one elder losing after another, taking turns, all the way till the evening.
"Collected any destiny points?"
"Sss~ (Yes.)"
"How many destiny points gathered?"
"Sss~ (10.13.)"
"How much can it enhance?"
"Sss, ss, ss~ (Not much enhancement; if I enhance strength, my strength would increase by one-thousandth.)"
Li Cunxu frowned deeply; strength was the little white spider’s weak spot, augmenting this attribute only yielded such a little increment.
Was it too few destiny points collected, or was it a limitation of the Destiny Weaver?
"If the speed of collecting destiny points and growth by today’s standard is compared to Xiaoruan’s Soul Kingdom tax collection growth speed, Destiny Weaver doesn’t match up to the Soul Kingdom.
Destiny Weaver didn’t seem to be as mega perverse as he thought.
"Continue testing tomorrow."
On the second day, Li Cunxu and the little white spider went to the garbage dump to distribute bottled water to the scavenger elders.
On the third day, they set the little white spider to oversee the Garbage Slime processing the trash.
After experimenting with various things over several days, Li Cunxu started to understand the talent of Destiny Weaver.
"In short, the deeper you impact the world, the more destiny points you get. Moreover, influencing the world doesn’t necessarily require you to personally intervene; indirect influence counts too."
"For example, creating something that benefits the world or contrastingly, creating something that destroys the ecological balance of the world—good or bad, as long as an impact is made, destiny points can be obtained."
Li Cunxu handed the Eight-Color Garlic and Slime Mutation Needle formula to the little white spider.
"Go mutate the Slime! I have a hunch this could result in a lot of destiny points."
Leaving the little white spider with the Mechanical Annihilation Hunter, Li Cunxu ventured into the Mining Secret Realm.
This was an underground Black Iron level resource secret realm, hosting a rich concentration of rare metal minerals underground, to be mined personally.
With good luck, striking a gold vein could lead to overnight wealth; poor luck, and you would end up with a heap of less valuable coal.
Li Cunxu’s visit to this Mining Secret Realm wasn’t for mining ores but for the Blood Demon Treasure Pearl.
