"That's right. When I couldn't see the trajectory of your destiny, I had this suspicion, and it wasn't until the return journey that I finally became certain that you were the one 'outside of destiny.' But at that time you were still too weak, and I was afraid that telling you these things too early would harm you. That's why I gave you the ring, hoping to increase your ability to protect yourself. I don't want you to die so easily."
She shifted her tone, a hint of inquiry in her voice: "However, the ring's power is limited to foreseeing the future a few seconds in advance, used to aid in combat and avoid immediate danger. It could never reveal the so-called original history," or present those grand premonitions about the world's future. What you hear and "see" is more likely that the ring, as a medium, has triggered some special change within yourself that originates "outside of fate."
Li Ang seemed to be deep in thought, then asked urgently, "So, according to what you just said, if I save enough people who are destined to die," will I be able to accumulate enough power to avoid the end?"
Celia slowly shook her head, pouring cold water on the situation: "It's not that simple. An individual's fate has a negligible impact on the vast river of destiny."
Just like with Eric, although you prevented his death, the tide of fate remained unmoved.
She leaned forward slightly, her tone becoming more solemn: "The following is my personal speculation. Those who can truly shake the river of fate are not all individuals, but rather some special beings. For example, Frostheart Maxwell, as the Dwarf King, whose life and death are tied to the fate of his race; or Elena Green, the hope that Obsidian Tower places its hopes on," carrying a certain possibility for the future of their school, or like myself, born into a Zodiac family, with the power to glimpse destiny in my blood—we can tentatively call these beings "singularities."
Only a sufficiently powerful and crucial singularity can produce a change that contradicts predetermined destiny, truly shaking the course of the river of fate and potentially influencing matters of life and death such as "the end."
Li Ang immediately grasped the key point, his eyes gleaming with hope: "Singularities?" Who are they? If the deaths of all the "Singularities" are avoided, can the End be prevented?
Celia gave a helpless, bitter smile: "How could I possibly know who all the singularities are? Fate is like a fog; I can only glimpse the tip of the iceberg. I thought—since you went to such lengths to use the panacea to save Frostheart, and Elena and me, it was because you saw that 'we are the so-called singularities.'"
Li Ang's newly ignited hope was instantly shattered. He shook his head with a bitter smile: "Although I could hear the warning voice and see some fragmented images, it never clearly told me who the singularity was, or who the next target to be saved would be."
Seeing his slightly dejected expression, Celia gently comforted him, "Since there's no clear clue right now, why not just let things take their course? You've already changed the fate of several key figures, which in itself is a huge variable. Perhaps—at some point in the future, the voice you hear will give you clearer guidance. Or perhaps, as your own power grows, your control over this 'premonition' will become increasingly clear."
Li Ang nodded, knowing that this was the only way for now. After leaving Celia's residence, Li Ang first went to the supplies management office and found Old Mori.
Morrie had already prepared the custard apple seedlings he needed, packed in a specially made insulated wooden box that emitted a faint plant fragrance.
After thanking him and paying with a silver coin, Li Ang carried the wooden box to the Magic Potions Garden. On the innermost iron shelf, he found an empty space and carefully planted the custard apple seedlings by hand.
Back in his dormitory, Li Ang waited patiently. When the sky outside the window was completely shrouded in night and the tower became quiet, he took action again.
He left the dormitory area quietly and returned to the entrance of the long-abandoned underground passage on the first floor of the Leli Tower.
He skillfully opened the hidden entrance, then slipped inside and descended along the cold, damp passage.
Passing through the tunnel and diving into the underground lake, Li Ang arrived at the ruins once again. Inside the half-ruined workshop, the cracked [Floating Core] still lay there quietly.
Li Ang took a deep breath as he looked at the damaged [Floating Core], trying to calm his somewhat agitated emotions.
After all, the key to whether or not one can own a portable potion workshop entirely of one's own lies in this.
He focused his mind, his mental energy instantly connecting with his core, and a string of information appeared in his mind.
【Floating Core LVO】
Current status: (Damaged -> Under Repair)
[Repair progress: 20%]
[Repair Requirement: Gravity Stone (1000/5000 grams)]
Li Ang took the heavy cloth bag filled with [Gravity Stones] off his back and began to repair it in his mind.
Immediately, pale blue, translucent gravity stones flew out of the bag on their own, heading towards the damaged core.
The moment the gravity stone touched the core, its stable material structure instantly collapsed, turning into a pale blue liquid energy that was greedily absorbed by the core.
As energy was incorporated, a pale blue light gradually shone from the core, and the cracks on the core began to heal at a visible speed.
As the gravity stones were integrated into the core one by one, the cracks on the core's surface gradually became thinner, fainter, and eventually disappeared completely.
The eerie blue light within the core became increasingly stable. When the last gravity stone was completely absorbed by the core, and the last, minute crack on the core's surface vanished completely.
[Repair Complete]
【Floating Core LVO】
Current Status: Bound
[Current Function: Can keep structures within a 10-meter radius connected to the core, with a total weight not exceeding 5,000 kg, levitating. Maximum levitation height cannot exceed 1,500 meters. Maximum movement speed: 50 km/h.]
[LV1 Effect: Range of action +10%, Weight capacity +10%, Float height +10%, Movement speed +10%.]
]
At this moment, the core quietly floated in front of Li Ang, its entire body flowing with a warm and stable dark blue light, without a single flaw.
Li Ang felt that with just a thought, this ancient creation, which had been dormant for countless years, could rise into the sky once more.
However, as Li Ang looked at the data in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly, and the excitement that had been welling up in his heart was somewhat dampened.
"Ten-meter radius, five-ton load capacity, 1,500-meter height, 50-kilometer speed—" he muttered to himself, shaking his head.
On paper, compared to the current mainstream large cargo airships with hundreds of tons of payload, thousands of meters of cruising altitude, and speeds approaching 80 kilometers per hour, it does seem somewhat impractical.
