Chapter 421 Player of the Fourth Scourge (1)

Su Chen gazed at the numbers that had appeared on the Reverse Fate Scripture. From this moment on, he possessed, to some extent, the preliminary qualification to grasp fate itself. He did not linger long on that page.

[Talent: 0 (+)]

[Comprehension: 0 (+)]

[Background: 0 (+)]

[Dao Heart: 13,000,000]

Apart from the Reverse Fate Points settled in this life, the Reverse Fate Scripture still held 2300 Reverse Fate Points from before.

Su Chen wasted no time. After setting aside a small reserve as a safety net, he allocated his points without hesitation.

Talent: 100

Comprehension: 10,000,000

Background: 200

Two thousand Reverse Fate Points remained. He swiftly turned to the next page of the Reverse Fate Scripture.

...

The sunlight before his eyes was rather piercing.

Su Chen opened his eyes in a daze, still half-asleep. He lay on a clean and tidy large bed.

In an instant, he sorted through the various fragments of the past that surfaced in his mind.

An odd expression crossed Su Chen's face. With his current Dao Heart, very few things could still strike him as strange.

The place he found himself in was called Tiancheng Star. Cultivators existed here, yet to become one, every person had to activate a pass that turned them into a "Player" at the age of sixteen.

The term "Player" felt familiar.

It left Su Chen somewhat unsettled. Only five days remained until the day he would register as a "Player."

If his guess was correct, these "Players" were inseparable from the Lord of the Fourth Scourge. He had not expected the Lord of the Fourth Scourge to reappear in the future.

He had not yet registered as a "Player," so he could choose not to do so. With his knowledge and comprehension, he could still climb to the peak.

No… Su Chen sensed the powerful strength within his body. He already possessed cultivation comparable to the Saint realm. His comprehension was simply too formidable. Even if his past memories had not awakened, with a comprehension of ten million, he could create a suitable cultivation path from the traces that existed in this world. Starting from nothing was no obstacle.

In the end, Su Chen still chose to register as a Player.

There was no other reason. According to the Lord of Primus, the Lord of the Fourth Scourge had appeared in the future yet later vanished. Now that it had emerged once more, it might signal a great upheaval. Since he had encountered this upheaval, he had no choice but to see what would unfold.

In this life, his name was Xiao Chen, of the Xiao family, one of the four great clans of transmigrators. Unfortunately, the Transmigrator Alliance had nothing whatsoever to do with him. Because of the points he had allocated, he had not begun as a beggar but as a young master of the Xiao Group, which monopolized the pharmaceutical industry in Darao City and raked in enormous profits.

Looking at his drop-dead handsome reflection in the mirror, he found the rich, handsome young master's starting point rather satisfactory.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

The day to register as a Player had arrived.

Su Chen wore a well-fitted blue-and-white shirt. Many young masters and young ladies from great families already waited at the venue, along with a large number of ordinary young students who seemed out of place among them. Yet one thing was the same: whether the wealthy heirs of aristocratic academies or the ordinary youths waiting here, all of them were filled with eager anticipation at this moment.

Upon registering as a "Player," each person would receive a "Player" talent.

Different talents meant different starting points and different endings. Ordinary people could awaken top-tier talents and overturn fate itself, while young masters and young ladies from wealthy families might awaken trash talents and fall into the dust.

"Young Master Xiao, this is what the old master asked me to deliver to you."

An elderly butler leaning on a cane and dressed in a tailcoat took out a box and handed it to Su Chen.

Su Chen took the box and opened it. Inside lay several silver coins along with two cards, one an item card and the other a cultivation method card.

In general, the higher one's status, the greater the margin for error, far surpassing that of ordinary people.

Those young masters and young ladies qualified to stand beside him had long since received preparations from their families, items that could greatly raise the odds of surviving in the other world.

The silver coins, for example, were Player resurrection coins. Each coin allowed one resurrection. Once the coins ran out, the Player would die. Su Chen held three of them. The value of those three alone was enough to buy a tenth of Darao City with ease. His so-called father had truly spent a fortune.

The item card and the cultivation method card were likewise priceless treasures.

...

Xu Le was an ordinary high school student.

He had discovered something.

He had successfully returned to the very day he registered as a Player.

He vaguely recalled that after registering that day, he had entered the novice village.

His talent had not been poor.

It could even be called the finest Darao City had seen in a hundred years.

Yet right then someone had appeared out of thin air.

That person single-handedly cleared the novice village at astonishing speed, leaving everyone else far behind in the dust.

People guessed he must have awakened the absolute top-tier talent.

No one knew exactly what that talent was. By the time Xu Le next heard of the man's reputation, he had already become one of the Federation's most elite Players.

Xu Le's gaze settled on the handsome youth dressed in a blue-and-white shirt. His heart pounded with excitement.

He had discovered something else.

Every treasure from his previous life was still with him.

One card in particular drew his attention.

"Fate-Changing Card: Designates one person and swaps the talents awakened by both parties."

"Usage condition: Both parties must not yet have awakened their talents."

Xu Le had only obtained such a card by chance in the late stages of his previous life. The condition was extremely restrictive. When neither side had awakened, who could know whose talent was superior and whose was inferior? He had tossed the seemingly useless item into his backpack and gradually forgotten it.

Now was there any moment more perfect than this?

Xu Le knew what kind of existence that man would grow into. If he successfully claimed the man's talent, would he not become the same kind of figure, one of the absolute top Players?

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned toward Su Chen and activated the Fate-Changing Card.

"The future world will belong to me, Xu Le."

Boundless expectation surged in his heart.
