The two Fate Threads are roughly the same thickness, which perhaps indicates that Chen Luo and the Herrscher of Knowledge are basically at the same level in terms of overall strength.

To put it bluntly, if Chen Luo were to engage in a life-or-death battle with the Herrscher of Knowledge, the Herrscher of Knowledge die.

Chen Luo possesses everything that Herrscher of Knowledge has, whether it's the Inner Demon's Body, the Herrscher Authority of Knowledge, Melee Grandmaster, Cold Weapon Grandmaster, or the Herrscher's Body of Herrscher of Knowledge.

Although Chen Luo's ability Herrscher of Knowledge was not as proficient as that of Herrscher of Knowledge, Chen Luo was at least able to avoid being misled by the Herrscher of Knowledge's abilities and to find the Herrscher of Knowledge's traces.

And besides that...

Although Chen Luo hasn't used the Honkai Terminator much, you can't ignore its existence.

Of course, Chen Luo was also reluctant to make a move on Herrscher of Knowledge.

Chen Luo once encountered a problem while playing a game: which is more important, mastering one skill or being proficient in all skills?

Some say that one should master one skill to become truly powerful, while others say that one should learn a hundred skills to prepare for any eventuality.

Although Chen Luo really wanted to master a skill, reality simply wouldn't allow it.

Because Chen Luo is Traveler.

What are Traveler responsible for? They are responsible for helping people solve their problems and difficulties.

Chen Luo's unique profession means Chen Luo has to handle all sorts of things, from fixing air conditioners for married women to mending the sky for Nuwa. There are all sorts of outrageous things that Chen Luo can't handle, only things you can't imagine.

Just like in the past, could you imagine that some people would be commissioned to Snatching the Little Loli's Lollipop?

Therefore, Chen Luo's profession means that he needs to learn many skills.

While most ordinary commissions can be handled with the Furniture Mastery skill, those that offer more rewards are precisely the ones that Furniture Mastery is unlikely to be able to complete.

For example, resurrection...

So Chen Luo had no choice in this situation.

Besides, Chen Luo has had enough time to develop, so he can still successfully complete the Hundred Skills path, barring any unforeseen circumstances...

Therefore, it's not a problem that Chen Luo's Fate Threads is about the same thickness as the Fate Threads of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

However, Chen Luo could immediately distinguish the difference between his own Fate Threads and that of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Looking at the Fate Threads that belonged to him, Chen Luo couldn't help but want to touch it.

Then... he was bounced away.

emmm...

Well, how should I put it? Well... Chen Luo himself can't see his own Fate Threads clearly.

Because even Chen Luo himself couldn't be sure where he would appear next.

Who will I meet next?

Or perhaps you encounter some kind of commission.

After Chen Luo acquired a certain talent, it didn't immediately grant Chen Luo the maximum potential for that talent. At least for now, after acquiring this Destiny Ability, Chen Luo seems somewhat weak.

However, this was not Chen Luo's fault.

Because the bar thing is clearly beyond the upper limit of this S-class Destiny Ability.

Chen Luo even suspected that this bar couldn't even touch SS rank Destiny Type ability.

After all, before acquiring this bar, Chen Luo didn't believe that anything could connect to other Different World.

After owning the bar, Chen Luo's fate became intertwined with it.

Therefore, Chen Luo was completely unable to see his own destiny clearly.

Of course, it wasn't completely impossible to see; Chen Luo could at least vaguely make out that he would soon be asked to pour wine.

"Lolo, another drink," Elysia's voice rang out.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Okay."

See?

Although Chen Luo cannot see his future Fate Threads, if he confines his fate to the bar, he can still vaguely see what will happen.

"I always feel that although my Destiny Ability has been modified and strengthened, my Precognitive Ability seems to have been greatly weakened..." Chen Luo fell into deep thought after delivering the wine to Elysia.

Aponia's Precognitive Ability allow her to record every detail of a person's future, and she can even write a book of destiny for that person.

However, Chen Luo's ability to foresee the future through the Fate Threads seems to have weakened considerably.

This is understandable, since Aponia's ability is limited to this world, and even Elysia, as the Thirteenth Herrscher, can sever this Threads of Destiny.

They are the kind of people who act arrogantly and domineeringly in their own world, and may even be betrayed by their own world.

However, Chen Luo's ability is universally applicable, thus weakening the limits of his Precognitive Ability.

Perhaps with gradual cultivation of S-rank Talent, this ability to predict limits could potentially become even stronger again.

"As for the other ability to alter the Fate Threads... it seems there's no way to test it." Chen Luo began to worry about this matter again.

Changing the Fate Threads is inherently very difficult, and if it weren't for Chen Luo's puppeteer talent, such an outrageous ability wouldn't exist in the [Fate Threads] talent.

Therefore, it is very difficult for Chen Luo to change the Fate Threads of other people.

Even if the opponent is weaker than oneself, this is still the case.

At least until Chen Luo has fully mastered this ability, that's how it is.

And now, which of these people in the bar is much weaker than Chen Luo?

Changing their Fate Threads is like an ordinary person lifting a steel pipe – it's a bit too difficult.

Overall, although the current performance of this Destiny Ability is not very satisfactory, this is also related to Chen Luo's current environment.

Chen Luo is now sitting in a tavern where fate cannot be observed, surrounded by a group of people with at least S-rank Talent, and Destiny Ability has only just been acquired.

It would be strange if they could unleash their full power.

However, the future looks very promising.

Both derivatives of the Destiny Ability are...

Or rather, all S-rank Talent have a very promising future.

Out of boredom, Chen Luo began to count the Fate Threads connected to his own.

No one's destiny exists in isolation. Just as your birth is determined by your parents, your destiny will inevitably be intertwined with that of your parents.

If you meet your wife in the future, your fates will inevitably influence each other during the long process of getting along.

Even passersby who brush past you might cause you to shift a little to the side due to their positioning. Perhaps it's that little bit of distance that allows you to avoid a vase or find a coin.

Therefore, everyone's fate is a net that traps everyone.

Take, for example, the theory of six degrees of separation.

The six degrees of separation theory states that you are no more than six people away from any other stranger. In other words, you can get to know any stranger through a maximum of six people.

This is the theory of six degrees of separation, also known as the small-world theory.

Similarly, in the vast web of fate, no one can exist independently.

The same applies to Chen Luo; he witnessed many Fate Threads connected to his own.

Kiana, Theresa, Raiden Mei, Durandal, Jean, Lisa, Venti...

Among them, the lines of the Herrscher of Knowledge are the most unique because they are different colors.

The Fate Threads that belongs solely to Herrscher of Knowledge is naturally red, but the line connecting Chen Luo and Herrscher of Knowledge is blue.

Perhaps this is a customized version of a special relationship.

Furthermore, this special version of the thread doesn't seem to have any difference in thickness.

Other lines may vary in thickness depending on the strength of the person whose Fate Threads belongs to Chen Luo, their closeness to him, their life condition, and the distance between them, but the one for Herrscher of Knowledge is different.

The blue lines contain a touch of mischief and playfulness, quite in line with Herrscher of Knowledge's style, and stand out among the countless red lines.

That makes it seem very strange.

"Wait a minute, what about my parents' lines?" Seeing Chen Luo, whose limitations as Herrscher of Knowledge were different from others, she subconsciously realized that she hadn't found her parents' lines.

???

"Holy crap, am I some kind of orphan?" Chen Luo was dumbfounded.

Chen Luo began searching for clues that connected to his main world.

Yun Xia, Liu Wenxuan, Yun Lian'er, Xiao Ke'er are all included, but there is no storyline involving Chen Luo's parents.

This left Chen Luo somewhat bewildered.

"Wait, could it be..." Chen Luo suddenly remembered something, and then started searching for Timothée's thread among the countless threads.

And sure enough, they didn't find it...

"Damn, that scared the hell out of me. It seems that because of the bar, people without a friend slot can't connect. Damn it!" For a moment, Chen Luo even thought he was an orphan.

"... However, I think I'll go back to reality." After a moment of silence, Chen Luo quietly walked out of the bar.

"Hey, A Luo, where are you going?" Elysia asked as she watched Chen Luo walk out from behind the bar and push open the Bar Door.

"I'll go see if I'm some kind of adopted orphan," Chen Luo replied casually.

After returning to his living room in his main world, Chen Luo glanced at his Web of Fate and indeed found two extra thin lines of a different color.

One is light blue, which should be Chen Luo's mother's thread.

One is bright red, probably Chen Luo's father's thread.

"Phew, that scared me to death." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief after confirming this.

"I knew it! How could something so dramatic happen? Besides, even if it was really found, it should at least have a cable."

Even the bond between adoptive parents and their adopted children must be incredibly strong.

"But what's with these broken lines?" Chen Luo asked uncertainly, looking at some of the broken lines among the surge in Fate Threads since arriving in the main world.

Since this Destiny Ability was custom-made for Chen Luo, he could only figure out its functions on his own.

Fortunately, as long as you consider everything that serves you as furniture, then talent is also furniture.

If it's furniture, you have to be an expert in it.

However, things like fate and time seem to get harder the deeper you go.

1+1 is easy, calculus is difficult.

"Maybe it's dead?" Chen Luo guessed.

"Tsk, this is really a sad thing." After sighing, Chen Luo turned off those annoying Fate Threads.

Regardless of who these lines connect, it's a sad story.

Oh, Yvette's storyline isn't sad.

Then, Chen Luo turned his head to look at the two Fate Threads closest to him.

One of them is a little fox lying on the sofa with its belly showing.

One of them came from Book of Cang Xuan, who was sitting in his bedroom taking online classes.

Their Fate Threads are clearly fragile, because they are not very strong.

Seeing the lazy duo, Chen Luo gently touched the little fox's Fate Threads.

"Gurgle..." After two seconds, the little fox let out a comfortable groan, as if it were dreaming of something delicious or fun, and then rolled over.

"Thud!" The little fox, who was already on the edge of the sofa, fell right off it.

Alas, the poor little fox.

Seeing this scene, Chen Luo silently walked back into the bar.

The Fate Threads is indeed useful, at least in terms of catching people.
