Chapter 443: The Invincibility of Fate

Writing down what they wanted to say, then taking screenshots and sending them out, allowed players to bypass the forum login process, saving a significant amount of time. This ingenious method was devised by players in recent days.

However, at this moment, witnessing screenshots of conversations with ancient deities, complete with subtitles, the sudden shift in narrative style caught many netizens completely off guard.

"Worldline?" "Future?" "Fated?" These terms felt too abstract, even unbelievable, to the public. They touched upon the mythical and profound causal laws, transforming what was once merely a supernatural world into a high-level multiverse.

"What the hell?!""Is this real?...""The worldline is converging..."

Many netizens, who had been leisurely snacking and drinking tea in front of their computers, stopped what they were doing, utterly stunned by this turn of events.

It wasn't that their ability to accept new concepts was low; it was simply an incredibly abrupt shift in the narrative.

Previously, it was science fiction, a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Now, it had suddenly morphed into a terrifying multiverse of parallel universes and converging worldlines?

Even the Marvel multiverse, with its parallel timelines, exploding stars, and world-destroying finger snaps, wasn't this exaggerated! Those were fictional, but this seemed real, incredibly complete, and detailed down to the finest point.

"A high-level supernatural multiverse!""I bow down to this amazing game development team!""Holy cow!?""Brothers over there, have you finished grabbing your spots yet? Come out and see God!"

Instantly, players who had just secured their spots were called over by friends, creating a rapidly growing and incredibly lively crowd. Meanwhile, astute game news outlets quickly began reporting, proclaiming the arrival of a major storyline in the game world.

Soon, sharp-witted game streamers launched live broadcasts to explain and analyze the plot. A man and a woman sat before their screens, discussing:

"As a well-known player and plot analyst on the Spore Evolution game forum, what are your thoughts?" a female host, wearing black stockings, asked.

"Without a doubt, this is a major plot twist that has unfolded in recent days in the groundbreaking game, Spore Evolution!"

The man spoke eloquently, indeed possessing some renown among the general player base. "Initially, I expected the eruption to come from the side of 'Cute Girl' or 'Thunder Emperor,' but I never anticipated it would be so sudden here."

"According to the conversation between the ancient deity and the Plant Race god, Emperor Da Huanxi is not merely a human tyrant. There's a powerful force behind him, making Emperor Da Huanxi seem like nothing more than a puppet!"

"Great beings are manipulating the worldlines of this universe from behind the scenes, steering the future towards their desired parallel universes. Figures like Emperor Da Huanxi are merely pawns of fate," he stated.

The female host appropriately feigned immense surprise. "Isn't this talk of a multiverse and parallel worlds? That's simply incredible!"

"A high-level supernatural multiverse is inevitable!"

The two then continued their well-coordinated dialogue, concluding with a final statement:

"So, is Emperor Da Huanxi's victory inevitable? And where will Balloon Fish, Du Xue, and the other deities steer the worldline in this supernatural multiverse? Let's wait and see!"

"Without a doubt, this is an inconceivable and terrifying high-level universe, far beyond our reach!"

Immediately, the entire internet became anxious and extremely tense. Did this mean Emperor Da Huanxi was fated to win on the worldline?

How could this even be addressed?

They had to win!

They grew increasingly nervous, worrying about Du Xue and Balloon Fish, and even empathizing with the native inhabitants of the world.

Beneath a gloomy sky.

Xu Zhi sat calmly on a large rock, with Sheng Lin's daughter beside him. Further away, Du Xue, holding a cluster of balloons, stood respectfully nearby, her lips pressed together in a struggle.

Du Xue didn't understand "worldline," "convergence," or "fated." The impact of these concepts was simply too overwhelming...

Yet, she couldn't comprehend why they would give up. This mid-level god hadn't even begun fighting, yet they already believed their side was destined to lose. Du Xue couldn't help but ask, "Why not give it a try?"

Sheng Lin's daughter's expression remained calm. "I am already trying. The battle is unwinnable. Finding the ancient deity is the only hope, which is why I came... to plead with this ancient being to reject the Great Unification!"

Du Xue pressed her lips together, about to say something.

Suddenly, a terrifying light erupted in the sky, emanating from a formidable mid-level god whose aura was charged with immense fighting spirit.

"Is that... another mid-level god?" Du Xue whirled around.

"It's Subaru!" Sheng Lin's daughter turned to look. Just as the Plant Race and Human Race had their protagonists of the era, the Beast Race was no exception; they too had one.

Theoretically, they were all invincible beings within their respective races, growing miraculously to wield the ultimate power: fate.

"But... that's useless," Sheng Lin's daughter murmured, her lips pale.

I... am invincible.

Sheng Lin's daughter knew from birth that she was invincible because she was incredibly lucky.

Every choice she made was invariably correct, and every action she took miraculously brought about wonders. She was a chosen one, the convergence of countless miracles calculated across future worldlines.

But when three invincible individuals meet on a single worldline, who truly is invincible?

I... am invincible.

Subaru understood this from the age of seventeen because he was incredibly resilient.

Despite being born with only a first-tier power, cursed with extreme bad luck, abandoned by his parents as a deformed child, and possessing the lowest possible aptitude, talent, appearance, and gifts among the Beast Race, he was still only a second-tier at seventeen.

Yet, he knew with certainty that he was invincible.

This conviction stemmed from his death at seventeen, when he discovered he was a transmigrator with the ability to rewind time, possessing the Demon Eye of Fate.

On that day, while accompanying Makise Emili, the girl he secretly admired, in the slums, they encountered a fifth-tier Gut Hunter. After being brutally tortured and killed, he found himself resurrected back to the fruit stand from the previous day.

As long as he died, he could cross the timeline and return to the previous day.

Thus, in the slums, he endured pain, despair, loneliness, and breakdown, dying a staggering seventy-one times. He desperately tried to escape the fate of being killed, but the pain was unbearable, and the monster's deranged smile as it dismembered him...

He spiraled into despair, the infinite cycle of death and rebirth enough to break anyone, yet he remained resolute.

Once, twice! Three times! A thousand times!

One thousand and eleven times—a terrifying number. Using a method akin to foreknowledge, he finally killed the Gut Hunter, changing his and Emili's fate of being slaughtered. He would never forget how that fifth-tier Gut Hunter stared in disbelief as a mere third-tier weakling took its life.

Therefore, he, with his ability to travel through time and reset, was invincible.

Others might have crumbled, but Subaru possessed an unimaginable, terrifying resilience and determination. He grew amidst humility and suffering, always with something he wished to protect.

This was his unique ability.

From the age of seventeen, he had experienced countless deaths. No one else could perceive the shifts in the worldline; only he, with his Demon Eye of Fate, could remember the failed memories from before each reset, living through a constant cycle of dying and restarting. An ordinary person would have long since broken.

Yet, he still had something within him to protect. The mockery of his surroundings, the solitude of the worldline, the might of his enemies—nothing could make him yield. He reset countless times, creating miracles within the future's narrow gaps of fate, protecting the woman he loved...

Ten thousand times! A hundred thousand times! Seven hundred and seventeen thousand times!

In just forty-seven years, a mid-level god ascended, and thus, a legend began.

Subaru, the first among the Beast Race, the ultimate miracle, the observer of time's cycle, rose to the pinnacle of the world!

Boom!

A terrifying light flashed, and a formidable figure descended.

Its terrifying aura suppressed the entire world, making the surrounding lower-tier gods feel as if they were being swept away by a strong gale. The formidable presence caused the very fabric of reality to tremble, and an uncontrollable fear gripped many deities.

"Lord Subaru..." a Beast Race god whispered.

The human gods nearby froze, sensing the same terrifying and oppressive aura from him as from Emperor Da Huanxi.

"You're quite impressive; finally, an interesting life form has appeared, one truly capable of a fight..." Emperor Da Huanxi chuckled.

Subaru gazed steadily at Emperor Da Huanxi.

He felt as if an unseen fate was telling him that this was the only chance, that in this battle, he would not have another opportunity to start over. Yet, having died a staggering seven hundred and seventeen thousand times, he was already utterly convinced...

"I... am invincible," Subaru whispered.

Even if there were no second chances this time.
