A stream of devout aura emanated from the kneeling worshippers, unseen by the worshippers, but Lin Yu sensed it.

"Huh?" Lin Yu touched his chin in surprise, watching as those auras broke through the sky and appeared directly in the Primordial Space.

For some reason, Lin Yu subconsciously felt that these auras were not aggressive towards him.

At the same time, a blue lotus reappeared above Lin Yu's head and quietly bloomed.

Those mysterious auras, upon encountering the Azure Lotus, seemed to be summoned and immediately flew over, merging with the Azure Lotus.

Lin Yu raised his hand and waved it, causing the Azure Lotus to stand within the Primordial Platform, his heart filled with surprise.

This blue lotus hasn't changed at all except for its own level increase, so what's wrong with it today?

The Azure Lotus floated in the center of the Primordial Platform, growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. At its top, a small round bead appeared.

"Buzz..."

As the gas was continuously incorporated, the round bead continued to grow.

After all the gases had merged into the green face, the bead seemed to have fully matured.

The moment Lin Yu looked at the bead, a line of text appeared in his mind.

" The Fruit of Fate!"

That's the name of that bead.

Then, a system notification sound rang out.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have awakened the Fruit of Fate! You have triggered the exclusive divine ability of the Hall Master of the Primordial Hall, the Fate Controller!"

As the system's voice faded, countless pieces of information suddenly flooded into Lin Yu's mind.

"Ugh!" Lin Yu felt a splitting headache, a feeling he had never experienced before.

Clearly, the amount of information this time cannot be compared to any previous instance.

"Buzz..."

A series of buzzing sounds echoed continuously in Lin Yu's mental world, eventually forming a twelve-sided crystal.

" The Fate Crystal!" In an instant, Lin Yu knew the name of the twelve crystal faces.

At the same time, a mysterious rune appeared between Lin Yu's eyebrows, and a mysterious aura suddenly appeared around him.

If someone were standing in front of Lin Yu at this moment, they would probably have deep suspicions.

"Does this person really exist?!"

Indeed, Lin Yu was filled with an ethereal aura at this moment. His robes fluttered without wind, his eyebrows were kind and approachable, and his overall demeanor was extraordinary, making his very existence seem unreal.

Lin Yu now seems to exist not in this fantasy world, but in another world altogether.

It has become an existence free from time and space, indifferently watching everything that happens in this world.

Lin Yu sat cross-legged, digesting the countless pieces of information in his mind and adapting to the changes around him.

When Lin Yu opened his eyes again, a blurry image flashed in his eyes.

This phantom was the River of Time, but it only flashed by in his eyes and no one noticed its existence.

Lin Yu is now more satisfied with the new abilities he has gained.

He looked at his hands and subconsciously clenched them. This " Fate Master " seemed to be even stronger than he had imagined!

Now that he had gained a new ability, he decided to give it a try. Lin Yu casually turned his gaze to a vast world.

He was a thin boy, wearing only a simple set of clothes, which were even patched. Judging from his appearance, he was very young.

But that small face held an indescribable determination.

He stared at everything in front of him, seemingly deep in thought.

Which direction should I go? Will it be dangerous? Will I encounter any opportunities?

Lin Yu vaguely remembered this young man; he was the first cultivator to kneel before Lin Yu earlier.

However, in Lin Yu's eyes, this young man was pitifully weak, having only reached the Qi Gathering stage.

Even Yu Hongyan, whom Lin Yu first encountered in the Xuanxuan Plane, was not as weak as this young man.

Moreover, this boy had no special physique or cultivation techniques; he was merely a mortal with the most basic physical body.

Even outside his own world, within the entire Southern Heaven Great Domain, he would be considered utterly useless.

If he hadn't entered one of the twelve vast worlds today, Lin Yu could imagine his tragic future. He would probably have stagnated at some realm, living a life of constant danger.

Lin Yu looked at the thin boy, his eyes flashing slightly.

The next moment, a tiny, illusory river appeared above the boy's head, winding around his body—it was the boy's destiny.

Upon closer inspection, the small river seems to connect with the much larger River of Fate.

However, this future does not seem to have become better because of the appearance of the twelve vast spaces.

Lin Yu could clearly see through the River of Life that the young man would gain some small opportunities in the vast space and break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm in one fell swoop. However, in this vast Southern Heaven Great Domain, it was still too late!

It wouldn't be long before the young man was forcibly killed by a powerful figure, who would seize any opportunities he might have gained.

Lin Yu watched the scene before him in silence. The scene flowed smoothly, like flowing water, until the boy's body fell, leaving behind a look of resentment, before the scene abruptly ended.

And so, the boy's life came to an end!

Seeing this, Lin Yu shook his head helplessly. This was indeed just an ordinary life.

However, he now has a way to change things.

Lin Yu's fingertips lightly tapped the cloud chair, and an invisible thread seemed to instantly connect to the river of fate above the boy's head.

With a flick of Lin Yu's fingertips, the course of the River of Destiny suddenly changed.

However, the boy himself could not see any of this; only Lin Yu could see it.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yu finally stopped what he was doing, looked at the thin but determined boy, and murmured, "From now on, it's up to you!"

"Can you give me some surprises?"

"Fate is unpredictable. What I see and alter is merely the fate closest to me—what would happen under normal circumstances."

"However, if you can break through to the Saint Realm, your destiny will completely change, and nothing will be able to bind you anymore!"

So-called spiritual practitioners, who among them isn't defying fate and changing their destiny?

Fate may seem fixed, but in reality, it only has a general direction. A single thought or action of yours can cause a dramatic change in your destiny.

"Below the Saint, all are but ants! Today, let me see if you, this tiny ant, can change your destiny!"

Lin Yu said with a smile, but his gaze towards the boy couldn't help but carry a hint of anticipation.
