This feeling of being able to clearly sense his own progress and growing strength was truly exquisite.
This was also the first time he had received the daily cultivation reward from recording his diary after upgrading the diary module. He had to admit—it was genuinely powerful. And right from the start, it was a perfect opening, granting him the maximum possible reward.
The daily check-in and the diary had both refreshed, but Chu Ge did not complete them immediately.
He still had other matters to attend to—matters concerning Ye Chen.
"System, display Ye Chen's 'future trajectory.'"
Summoning the system in his mind, Chu Ge issued the command.
"System, is this 'future trajectory' Ye Chen's original future, or a future that has been altered because of me?"
At the same time, Chu Ge raised a crucial question.
This question was extremely important. If it were merely Ye Chen's original future, then its usefulness would be greatly diminished.
After all, he—a transmigrator in possession of a system—had appeared in this world and had already formed karmic entanglements and enmity with Ye Chen. Under such circumstances, the course of the future had, with high probability, already changed.
If it were only Ye Chen's original future trajectory, then it could serve Chu Ge merely as a reference.
Only the latter—the altered future—would truly be of immense value, capable of bringing Chu Ge substantial benefits.
[Ding. It is a segment of the future trajectory that has changed after the host's appearance.]
Hearing this, Chu Ge's eyes lit up.
"Good. Then begin."
Closing his eyes, Chu Ge felt the system's light screen in his mind flicker. Immediately afterward, an image slowly unfolded, like watching a 3D film, giving him an intense sense of immersion.
After a long while, Chu Ge opened his eyes.
"System, why is the part of the future trajectory related to me—and even the parts related to my master and junior sister—blurred?"
Chu Ge had seen quite a bit of Ye Chen's future, yet doubts also arose in his heart.
[Because the host is affecting the future at every moment. Anything related to the host can never be predicted. And those around the host who come into contact with you are likewise affected, causing their futures to become unpredictable.]
"So that's how it is…"
Chu Ge fell into contemplation.
He was particularly mindful of what the system said about 'affecting the future at every moment.'
'Because I am a transmigrator, as long as I continue to exist in this world, I will affect the future?'
The thought flashed through Chu Ge's mind, yet he felt that it was not quite that simple.
However, he did not dwell on it too deeply.
Matters concerning the future could never truly be unraveled. Even if one were to painstakingly analyze every thread, it would still be difficult to make sense of it all—better to simply take things one step at a time.
What's more, this was not necessarily a bad thing for Chu Ge.
If even the system could not predict it, that meant his future was in his own hands alone.
As a transmigrator, he was someone who should not have existed in this world to begin with.
Thus, every single thought and action of his, Chu Ge, would alter the futures of others.
Reining in his thoughts, Chu Ge redirected his attention back to the series of future events concerning Ye Chen.
This segment of the future trajectory was not long—only about half a month.
Yet in just these brief fifteen days, Ye Chen actually encountered three separate strokes of fortune!
At the inner sect marketplace, Ye Chen picked up a treasure that could increase cultivation speed.
In the Scripture Pavilion, Ye Chen unexpectedly obtained a fragment of an ancient spiritual art.
And within a long-abandoned mountain peak of the Taihuang mountain range, Ye Chen acquired the relics—of a Sixth Heaven–realm cultivator.
It had to be said: the fortune of a Child of Destiny truly ran deep.
Although these items could not be considered great opportunities in Chu Ge's eyes, to Ye Chen, they were nothing short of lifesaving aid in the midst of a blizzard.
With the assistance of these strokes of fortune, in the sect grand competition one month later—if not for the variable of Chu Ge—Ye Chen would very likely shine dazzlingly!
"Not bad opportunities… but very soon, they will be mine."
A smile surfaced on Chu Ge's lips as a plan had already taken shape in his heart.
