Chapter 883 Changing This Fated World (5400)

Alan realized he was controlled by fate because of an unexpected encounter.

At that time, the man had just adopted Eve and was worrying about how to be a good father and take care of a new life, so he went to the largest local market to buy a piece of silk from a distant country as the base material for his child's sleeping mat.

And at that time, he 'happened' to meet a group of foreign merchants said to be from the far north of the continent.

"Oh, esteemed Mr. Alan, we heard that you need the softest silk and fabrics, but I believe that even the most exquisite silk cannot compare with the materials we can provide!"

Alan was a celebrity in Mo'er City. His family's wealth was well-known throughout the continent. Alan was not surprised that this merchant group knew what he needed. Rather, everyone in Mo'er City knew that the Tansfer family had a princess bestowed by fate.

But because of this, Alan was also tired of self-proclaimed merchants coming to him to sell local specialties, but this merchant group was very special—among them were tall and burly Pandaren, as well as green-skinned, giant-like berserkers. Whether they were spellcasters or knights, they all had a different charm.

Not only that, but with his unique vision, Alan could also see that the real captain of this team was the timid little girl hiding behind the green giant... In fact, that was indeed the case. After realizing that Alan had noticed, the green-haired girl disguised as a little girl introduced herself generously, saying that she was actually over twenty years old, but her body development was restricted by her 'superpower', so she looked like a child.

"This set of 'Ice Silk Soft Armor' is not a treasure armor, but it has a gentle and repairing effect on children's meridians. In addition, with the 'High Mage Armor' attached by our team's mage, even if someone bombards it with a leader-level spell, it can ensure the wearer's safety before the mage armor is broken!"

Although many words sounded strange, Alan, who had carefully appraised it for a long time, had to admit that this was a very formal treasure for him, and with its protection, Eve's safety might not need to be worried at all.

"What reward do you want?" Alan asked at that time, but he heard what was perhaps the most absurd, most unbelievable, and even later, very confusing answer of his life.

"Oh my god."

At that time, everyone in the merchant group smiled at each other, and they laughed and said, "As long as you can survive and make Eve happy, then this special mission of ours will be worthwhile!"

"Accept it, Alan of Mo'er City, this is a gift, and it is not free. You must swear that you will bring happiness to Eve and absolutely survive!"

"Uh." Alan was really a little confused at that time: "Of course I guarantee this, Eve is my princess, gods above, she saved me from confusion and emptiness and made me know the meaning of life!"

So the man swore, and the Ice Silk Soft Armor was given to him.

And when he swore, he could hear a lot of words spoken in barbaric languages, which he couldn't understand at all.

"Yay! Finally succeeded, my resurrection armor has been sent out! Even if Eve or Alan commits suicide, they can be resurrected on the spot once!"

"I knew it, telling the truth might be regarded as a swindler, Alan is not a bad person, he will believe it if you say it simply!"

"Hahahaha, although it may not be able to change fate, if it can be changed, we will definitely have a share!"

"I can be single, the CP I'm rooting for must get married!"

Although he didn't know why the other party was unwilling to accept money, Alan couldn't be so rude. He could sense the other party's pure kindness and curiosity, so he invited this strange merchant group to his mansion as guests, and the two sides talked a lot.

That was about the strange scenery outside the center of the continent, located in the 'barbaric land'.

Those were the hideous and spectacular figures of many terrifying monsters, and their irresistible divine power.

Those were adventures about saving the world, bringing hope and curiosity.

Even Alan was yearning for it. After the banquet, when he talked with the female captain, he couldn't help but sigh: "If I didn't need to take care of Eve, I might really want to put down the family business and go with you to the ends of the earth, or even explore the distance beyond the ends."

Then, he heard bursts of hearty laughter as if celebrating 'the mission was finally accomplished'.

"Isn't this simple?"

The female captain at the head handed him a watch, and she said expectantly: "If you are willing—then we can help you."

"This is the last help we can give you!"

After receiving the watch, that strange merchant group disappeared like a bubble. Not only that, but it seemed that time had been reversed. When Alan opened his eyes, he was still in the familiar market, but he still had the 'Ice Silk Soft Armor' and 'watch' in his arms.

This was the whole process of Alan getting in touch with the Pioneer Space.

With this watch, Alan could exchange for some unimportant things, but even so, for the entire Ilotal Continent, that was also a magical thing from outside the territory... but Alan was very cautious, and he didn't intend to easily use these things that might be noticed by the gods.

On the contrary, he began to exchange a large number of books through the Pioneer Space.

Knowledge, writing, culture, customs... and, the boundless universe about the land under his feet, called the 'Ilotal Continent' and the 'Musical World'.

Then...

He knew the story related to him.

——Creation Grand Music Series? Movies? Games? Musical oratorio? Novels and stage plays?

Even with Alan's knowledge and experience, after knowing all this, he couldn't help but gasp, his hands and feet trembled with cold, and he felt that the world was probably not good.

What the hell, why does he have to be a tragedy? Not to mention the first and second lives, his third life is simply being persecuted, right? All kinds of accidents will happen for no reason, and the degree of weirdness is comparable to a movie in the Pioneer Space called 'Final Destination'. No matter how you think about it, it feels inexplicable!

"It doesn't matter if I die, I've enjoyed everything in this life, but why must Eve die? And it must be her suicide?"

This was something Alan couldn't understand, but since this was the case, he didn't want to think too much about it.

Alan has always had everything he wanted in this life. He was born with everything he wanted. No matter what it was, as long as he wanted it, he could get it easily. This made Alan feel extremely empty when he was young and didn't know why he was alive.

But one day, Alan picked up the abandoned Eve by the roadside. For some reason, the quiet baby suddenly touched the man's heartstrings. He suddenly realized that everything he found difficult to cherish was extremely precious to most people. His wealth could not only be used for enjoyment, but also to help more people be happy.

Just like this girl... No matter what the reason, she was abandoned. She lost everything, including her parents. She might want to survive, but she didn't have the resources to survive.

But Alan had this resource. On the contrary, he hadn't found a reason for himself to live.

Eve was a gift given to him by God. He vowed that the reason he became a carefree rich man in this life was to help those who were born and found it difficult to survive.

Alan originally thought that all of this was a God-given happiness, a revelation descended by the gods.

But after knowing that all of this was a story, he couldn't help but think, could his thoughts and surging emotions be manipulated playthings in someone else's pen? Did he really have his own free will, and not just a part of someone else's plan?

"Is all of this just a story?"

"If it's a story, is my love fake?"

He sat in the basement, facing the mirror, asking himself.

But fortunately, Alan was not a philosopher, nor a nitpicker.

The man thought for only two seconds and came to the answer: "Who cares what's true or false."

"I want to love, so I love."

This was a true answer. After getting the answer, Alan made up his mind to give everything to love.

Even if all of this was a story written by someone, a so-called fate and destiny, he was determined to face it, would not retreat, and would not regret it.

He would definitely break fate and save Eve.

It was this kind of determination that allowed Alan to completely gain the approval of the Pioneer Space watch, allowing him to issue various tasks and prepare for his future plan to save Eve while shielding the senses of the gods.

In addition to this, he could also take on many tasks and get exploration points.

It's just... as everyone knows.

The existences that can become external contractors of the Pioneer Space... are basically the top powerhouses in each world.

Therefore, the tasks Alan could see were all a bit outrageous.

[Creation Lord-level Elimination Mission—Clean up the core nest of the Void Flood Demon, reward 'Immortal Tears Green Gold' three thousand cubic centimeters]

[Additional mission—Defeat the 'Heavenly Dao Hunter', reward 'Divine Sword Lieque']

Alan couldn't understand what these rewards represented at all, but they seemed very high-level.

[Immortal-level Exploration Mission—Explore the Misty World Cluster, the truth behind the mist behind the thirty-ninth layer of the abyss, reward fragments of 'Infinite Light']

[Hint: The Misty World Cluster may be a fragmented world cluster formed after the shattering of a super high-magic universe. The 'Dark Body' behind the mist may be the source of the shattering of the great universe. That is an ultimate monster that only He Dao-level can deal with. Explorers, please do what you can]

This one was slightly better, but the description of 'He Dao' later made Alan confused—his strength in the Pioneer Space was only evaluated as 'Extraordinary'. This was already a high-level master on the continent. Further up was the domain of demigods with divine blood.

He Dao? What was that?

Immediately afterwards, all the tasks Alan saw were He Dao-level.

[He Dao-level Elimination Mission—Cut off the source of the Infinite Evil Demon, reward 'Burning Lamp']

This was a large world cluster invaded by the Infinite Evil Demon. Generations of immortals and Buddhas burned themselves out and used the treasure 'Burning Lamp' to illuminate the endless darkness and protect the world. If someone could expel the Infinite Evil Demon, then they would naturally not be stingy and give the treasure as a reward.

[He Dao-level Creation Mission—Integrate three thousand world fragments, reweave the Dao of Heaven, reward 'World Crossing Divine Boat']

This was a world cluster that collapsed after many He Dao-level wars. After the shattering of the heavens, the two unknown He Dao disappeared. The remaining surviving beings were sheltered in the World Crossing Divine Boat. They hoped that a strong person who was good at creation would come and reshape a world so that future generations would not have to sleep in man-made paradises.

This task also had an additional task 'Kill the World-Destroying He Dao'. This task had no reward, because the person who proposed the task could not possibly have this level of treasure to use as a reward.

But Alan was surprised to see that someone not only took this task, but also took the additional task—why would other He Dao powerhouses do this kind of thing with no benefit, when there was clearly no reward?

It was really strange.

Memory recovered from the past.

At this moment, Alan, standing on the balcony of his house, slowly calmed down his shocked face and tried his best to make a 'survivor's joy' and 'happy celebration' expression.

He had actually guessed that his and Eve's inevitable death was related to the 'Gods'... Moreover, when he was asleep, various scenes of his past 'death' would appear. That might be deja vu, or it might be the remaining memories of every time he resisted that might have been extinguished by the gods.

Alan was not stupid. He had even guessed that he and Eve probably had extremely special identities. This identity made the gods also covet them. Even if he and Eve did not have the slightest strength, they would not dare to use brute force, but would induce a series of seemingly destined tragedies to let him and Eve 'accept'.

Alan did not think that he could fight against the gods, so the task he issued was just to let someone from the Pioneer Space come over and then take Eve away.

As for himself, with the Pioneer watch, it was not difficult to go to the Pioneer Space, as long as he signed a contract, so there was no need to worry too much.

However, the result of the battle just now was really unbelievable and extremely shocking to Alan.

"Primordial Candle Dragon... fighting against the gods... Could it be that the God-King of our world is also He Dao-level? Unbelievable..."

The gods of the Musical Grand Universe rarely show their power. After all, there are no real enemies within the Musical Universe, so they naturally would not show it. It was normal for Alan not to know. If he knew, he would not be able to see the difficulty of his task.

Because of the gods' shielding, Alan did not see Su Zhou's process of fighting the four major god systems alone. He only knew that when the Primordial Candle Dragon first entered this world, it did suppress the gods at the beginning. Although the gods later 'defeated the extraterrestrial evil god', how could Alan, who had long been suspicious, think that the Candle Dragon would be defeated so easily?

That was the 'Candle Dragon family', the most unpopular Boss on the Pioneer Space ranking list, and also the most popular helper on the ranking list!

"My task... although it is more difficult than I imagined, the helper who came is also stronger than I imagined."

To be honest, when Alan learned that there were even He Dao-level powerhouses among the gods, he did feel a thud in his heart and felt that there was no hope for the future... But the appearance of the Primordial Candle Dragon did light up a light in his heart: "No matter what, I have to do something."

Having made up his mind, Alan turned around and planned to find Eve and tell his adopted daughter... who might also be his former lover, playmate, childhood sweetheart, friend, or comrade-in-arms... In short, Alan wanted to confess everything to his love.

Regardless of whether Eve could understand or not, Alan would not let the other party face all the crises ignorantly—even if the final outcome was failure, he could not allow himself, who had been favored by miracles and contacted the Pioneer Space, to do nothing and just wait to die!

However.

Just as Alan made up his mind, the tall brown-haired man had just taken the first step.

The world changed suddenly.

Time changed drastically, rotating like a vortex. The Pioneer watch on Alan's wrist released a burst of silver light, keeping him awake.

But the result was that in the next instant, Alan, who seemed to have been in a daze, saw that his extremely familiar residence where he had lived for more than thirty years had suddenly changed its style!

The palace, which was originally quite desert-like and made of many sand and stones, suddenly turned into a castle built of large gray blocks of stone. This sudden transformation made Alan a little unresponsive.

And when he raised his head and looked around in confusion, he was also stunned to find that the scenery outside his window, which should have been the city center, and the shadows of the towering mountains in the distance, had all turned into a blue sea!

"What's going on?!"

Alan was really shocked—the city of Moral where he originally lived was an inland city in the center of the continent, next to the Kankodar Mountains, but now, even a fool could see that the place he was living in was a prosperous port city!

Immediately afterwards, in the next instant, a large amount of memory suddenly appeared in Alan's mind... That was another person, no, it was the memory of another Alan who was also a rich man, but lived in a place called Sina Port!

The background of the story... was changed!

"Could it be?!"

Alan had a guess in his heart, but before he could calm down and carefully deduce it, suddenly, there was another violent change.

Time reversed, the world turned upside down, and the lines of cause and effect began to tremble violently.

Because the past was changed, the melody of the present also became different... Because all the causes and conditions initially formed a different result, all the subsequent fruits of causes and conditions trembled because of this...

In Alan's extremely shocked 'Huh?!' sound, he rotated in one violent change after another, in a distorted space-time that was almost difficult to maintain his normal state... Sometimes he was a rich man, sometimes he was a general, sometimes he was the king of a country, sometimes he was a poor shoemaker...

But no matter what, Alan was with Eve.

It was like eternal change, and the eternity of change.

"What, what is happening?!"

In the constantly changing world, Alan raised his head and looked up at the sky.

Above the sky, there were no sun, moon, or stars. Even the sky was empty, as if it was fighting against a strong enemy... Above the sky, there was only a hazy darkness.

However, in this darkness where space-time was broken and causes and effects were severed... Alan saw a ray of light.

That was a cyan-purple divine tree, and also the double pupils representing judgment and justice.

That was a five-colored bird soaring in the heavens, and also a solitary giant god wielding a divine sword to destroy and cross over.

And finally, it was a winding giant dragon crouching on the past, present, and future—the space-time where Alan was now was the splendor shining from a scale on this giant dragon.

This huge dragon was fighting against many brilliant and shocking musical notes. Facing the magnificent and endless movements, it was not willing to be outdone and struck the alarm bell, confronting the other party.

Alan looked up at all of this, and he suddenly clenched his fists.

Then, he saw the giant dragon lowered its head and looked at him.

[Good luck, Alan]

A gentle voice sounded, with an encouraging tone: [I am the hope you invited—but whether you can seize the hope depends on how you in each era respond]

"What can I do?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Alan shouted loudly: "What do I need to do?!"

[Take action]

The giant dragon's voice came leisurely: [When I change the past, you must also change the present—Alan, the current Pioneer Protector, the perfect ascetic in the past, the child of miracles in the future]

[The person who eternally calls for 'innovation', you should take action]

Stars flickered, and a cyan-purple light fell from the giant dragon's pupils and entered Alan's forehead, which instantly made the man know a method of building an altar and calling the spirits from the other side of the alien domain.

And the voice of the Primordial Candle Dragon sounded, with eternal confidence and enthusiasm.

[Call me, call the power of the heroic spirits who follow my path]

[Then change, change this world dominated by fate]
