Chapter 10: Time and Fate

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Lugh’s mind.

“Time: one of the constituent elements of the universe, the original power of the universe.”

This was the system’s explanation of time.

“When you touch the time domain, the space-time runes you convert have the following abilities.

“1. Pause time for 1 minute. Duration: 1 minute.

“2. Speed up or slow down by a factor of 10. Duration: 1 minute.

“The above abilities can only be used once a day! Effective range: 10 meters.”

Lugh’s brain froze. This was so weird.

What were the concepts of pause time and speed up or slow down time?

No matter how powerful an enemy was, if they were stopped in place by pause time, they would be a piece of trash that could be slaughtered by others.

As for speeding up and slowing down time by a factor of 10; could Lugh really increase his own speed by a factor of 10 and slow down the enemy’s speed by the same rate?

Even if a rune-master with extremely fast speed was slowed down by a factor of 10, how much more would he have?

Wouldn’t he still be waiting for death?

These two abilities could only be used once a day and could only be maintained for one minute. But it was enough! On the battlefield, one minute would be enough to turn the tide of the battle.

If it was an assassination, one minute was enough to kill the enemy. Not to mention just one minute, even if it was only ten seconds, it would be enough.

Lugh was ecstatic. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

These abilities are enough to kill Berg. As long as Berg is within ten meters of me, I am absolutely confident that I can kill him. Lugh was very confident. However, things are always changing and hard to catch. It would be good if I could see into the future.

Lugh was not a gambler. Although he was very confident in his current abilities, he understood that nothing was absolute. Moreover, it was in the strict palace. He did not want any accidents to happen. It would be great if he could know his future fate.

Are there any runes that can predict the future and show me my fate?

“Searching for you…”

This thought just appeared in Lugh’s mind. The system seemed to have figured out his thoughts and automatically began searching.

“Fate refers to fate and luck. Fate and luck are two different concepts. Fate represents the direction of future development, and luck represents the recent changes in luck and misfortune.”

I wonder what my fate is like.

Lugh silently chanted fate in his heart, and the English word fate appeared in his mind. The miraculous thing was that the process of transforming fate into a rune was actually as slow as the time rune just now.

Could it be another golden rune?

Lugh looked at the changes in his mind in surprise, full of anticipation.

The power of the golden rune far surpassed that of other runes of other levels.

Sure enough, a moment later, another golden rune appeared in Lugh’s mind.

“You have touched the realm of fate. The fate rune that you have transformed into has the following abilities.

“1. You can check the luck of all living things.

“2. You can check and change your own fate.”

Lugh was shocked.

Being able to check the luck of all living things meant that he could predict the good and bad luck of everything in advance.

What really surprised him was that the fate rune could actually allow him to check and change his own fate.

Fate included the development of life in the past and the future, as well as luck.

Lugh hurriedly triggered the fate rune to check his fate.

The Fate Rune Phantom appeared in the air, emitting a golden light that enveloped Lugh.

He saw three lifelines appear above his head, and two clouds of mist covered his head.

These three lifelines were Lugh’s past and future life trends. The reason there were three lifelines was that they included him before he transmigrated, the original owner of this body, and Lugh now he had transmigrated and taken over this body.

Each memory strip had a flash of memory images. The first two were broken, representing the end of his life. Only the last memory strip was constantly winding, shrouded in a shadow.

Because Fate was constantly changing, Lugh could not clearly see his future life trends, only a corner.

A woman appeared in his future life several times. He could not see the woman’s appearance clearly, but from the vague images, he felt that this woman should be a beauty that would drive everyone crazy.

Who was she?

This made Lugh very curious, but when he looked back, he could only see a shadow. He could not see anything. He could only turn his attention back to his three lifelines.

A person should only have one lifeline, but he had three. It must be to attract someone’s attention. An ordinary rune-master would be fine, but if a rune-master also had fate runes, he would be able to detect Lugh’s abnormality.

If that happened, Lugh would be treated as an alien. He would even be treated as an alien creature that had been embedded into the rune world from another dimension. He would be killed by the rune-masters of this world.

Looks like I still have to take out my lifeline.

Lugh took out his past, the lifeline of the original owner of this body. The lifeline of Lugh, who had become a rune-master.

However, there was a problem with this lifeline. His starting point had been in prison, and his past was pitch black.

Therefore, he had to find some reasonable experience for his past.
