Chapter 303: New Arrival

The world would instinctively absorb Quanta Energy to transform itself.

Even a planet without any self-awareness would instinctively seek to advance further. Under the nourishment of the mysterious, it might even give birth to things such as a Gaia consciousness or Heavenly Dao.

Of course, for a world to be transformed to that extent, it would be impossible to accomplish it without several thousand or even tens of thousands of years. Unless the world was originally a high-level world whose world rank had fallen for some reason, there was no way this time could be shortened. It would only become longer.

However, no matter what, this was still a good thing for the players.

The more advanced the world was, the more ways there were to gain experience. It would also be less likely for players to be stuck at the world’s upper limit, resulting in a situation where all the conditions had clearly been met but they still could not advance.

As for these changes happening now, they could not affect the players either. They had not changed classes yet, so they were essentially still ordinary people. No matter how great the changes occurring in the mysterious world were, they had nothing to do with them.

It did not have much effect on Joo Joowon either. His profession had little connection with the sun and moon.

Only if the Sea of Quanta underwent a major change would it possibly affect him.

Humans could enjoy solitude, but it was difficult to enjoy a world without the sun. Joo Joowon basked in the sunlight for a while before immersing himself in cultivation once again, hoping that he could grasp his own fate as soon as possible.

Astral Diviner were existences carried along by fate. Whether they were willing or not, they would be pushed forward by forces beyond their control toward the fate that had already been destined for them.

Some people would choose to go along with it, while others would choose to rebel. In the supernatural world, walking toward a predetermined fate was actually not necessarily a good thing.

Joo Joowon did not care about this at all. If a world that already possessed supernatural forces carried its own fate, there might be some hidden mastermind behind the scenes manipulating him. But Gaia, a world without magic, was truly just allowing the forces of Fate to follow the natural flow.

This was his own existence gradually influencing his Fate, rather than his Fate gradually influencing him.

He was among the first supernatural beings to appear in this world, and everything was still in its budding stage. This meant that supernatural beings who were connected to the paths of Fate had a chance to grasp their own destiny in advance, unlike those in high-level worlds where the supernatural system had already been fully developed. Even if they wanted to resist, they would not be able to.

This could be seen from Byeol alone. It showed just how weak the original forces of Fate, Astral Fate, and similar powers on Gaia had been. Byeol had been able to break free before supernatural forces had even appeared.

If Astral Fate had not been so mysterious in nature, allowing it to maintain faint connections even with worlds without magic, then even this small amount of power would not have been able to reach them.

Therefore, Joo Joowon’s goal was to roughly grasp his own fate before reaching the Third Rank.

This also meant that for most of his time in the future, he would stay inside his territory and rarely go outside. He would either be observing the stars or studying the paths of Fate. Things such as hunting for experience would mostly have to be handed over to Gaemi and the others.

Joo Joowon did not think there was anything bad about this.

He did not believe in the idea that "fighting with people and fighting with heaven is the greatest joy."

If he had a choice, he would rather have no one disturb him forever, allowing him to cultivate peacefully and quietly while studying and pondering the mysteries of Fate. When he had nothing to do, he could pet his cats and relax. If the cats could also help him clean the house and cook meals, that would be even better.

The Harbinger of Endless Misfortune was already filled with twists and turns. If he still actively went looking for trouble, Joo Joowon felt that sooner or later, he would be tricked to death by Fate itself.

Daylight did not affect his ability to sense the starry sky. After all, the starry sky had always existed. It was merely difficult for ordinary people to observe. For supernatural beings, however, it was not a difficult problem at all.

Joo Joowon wanted to use his connection with the Harbinger of Endless Misfortune to confirm Seong Seungmin’s situation.

To be honest, he was really curious about what method the game would use to send him over. If he appeared on Gaia, would he be considered an NPC or a player?

Fate always left traces that could be followed. Joo Joowon felt that if he could follow his Fate Star and observe the fates of the people who had been affected by him, then his level should be able to rise directly to above Level 15.

Unlike fully data based players, semi data based players who relied on their own steady cultivation genuinely had a chance to achieve several consecutive level jumps.

However, compared to such rare situations, what was more likely to happen was that they would cultivate step by step until reaching a certain realm, only to become stuck at a bottleneck and never be able to break through for the rest of their lives.

[ System Notification: The player’s order has arrived at the designated location. Summon? ]

Joo Joowon had just grasped a small clue when the sudden system notification woke him up. After glancing at his own meager fortune, it was not difficult for him to understand why something like this had happened.
