These are all of Xie Bai's requirements.

Ivy cherishes such wonderful memories.

At this moment, she sat upright inside the divine kingdom, her hands pulling on countless threads of fate.

"Uh..."

"Finding the perfect match from such a huge number of random fate lines seems to be much more troublesome than I thought."

"But this is nothing to me."

Thinking of this, Ivy raised her hand and snapped her fingers lightly.

"Snap"

The next second, hundreds of fate lines were drawn from the pillars below and converged in Ivy's palm.

"Hmph, they would never guess that my mastery of the power of destiny is actually quite high. The reason I seemed so weak before was simply because my physical strength was not high."

"As long as I find an opportunity to solve my problem of hard skills, I'll make that guy who only knows how to wield a greatsword pay sooner or later."

As Ivy imagined the future, she sorted through the threads of fate that had been summoned into her hands.

"Let me see, hmm..."

"No problem, every condition is perfectly met, it's ready to use. Now we just need to figure out how to weave it into the future... Hmm?"

Just as Ivy was preparing for her next move, she suddenly realized that something seemed off about this fate line.

"What is this thing?"

Ivy picked up the thread of fate and found that it was a strangely shaped white flame, which was scattered and crawling at the top of the thread of fate.

[Source of the Plague]

"Huh?"

"What the hell is this thing? How did it climb onto the Fate Line?"

Ivy dismissed the flames with a look of disgust.

Before she could figure out where these white flames came from, the thread of fate on her hand reignited the white flame that had been there before.

"Ouch! It's so hot! So hot! So hot...!"

Ivy instinctively threw away the fate line in her hand and hurriedly looked at her palm.

After confirming that she was alright, she glanced at the fate line that she had tossed far away.

"No, what exactly is this thing? Why is it so eerie?"

"Forget it, I'll figure out how to deal with you later. Right now, let's focus on fulfilling my lord's request. I don't need your request anyway."

As she spoke, Ivy casually picked out a new one from the alternative fate lines next to her.

"Hmm, that's not a problem."

Just when she thought things would go smoothly this time, a flame suddenly rose from the fate line on her hand.

"Whoosh—!"

"Ouch! It's so hot! It's burning me!"

Ivy hurriedly flung the fate line away.

"What's going on? Why does even this fate line have this weird thing?"

"Wait, could it be...?"

Realizing something was wrong, Ivy slowly turned her head to take a look.

Sure enough, in a moment when she wasn't paying attention, that strange white flame had already spread all over the alternative fate lines.

"Ugh...!"

"Honestly, even you, you little devil, are bullying me!"

Ivy angrily grabbed a thread of fate stained with a few white flames.

"Fine, since you're determined to keep bothering me, I'll play along to the end!"

"I refuse to believe that the power of destiny I just acquired can do nothing to you, you damned thing!"

……

Southern Continent.

A secluded forest somewhere.

A bizarre tombstone, strewn with bones, stands out starkly here.

In stark contrast to the vibrant and lush vegetation surrounding it, although some plants do grow here, they all appear withered and decaying.

Occasionally a few birds would perch here, but within seconds they would all collapse to the ground, their bodies snatched away by a swarm of insects.

"Whoosh..."

A low branch was parted, and a hooded girl emerged.

"Hmm? Could there be such a tombstone in the forest? I don't remember there being one here before..."

The girl took off her hood, revealing short, bright green hair and a pair of drooping animal ears.

"Fine, let me deal with this ominous place."

As she spoke, the girl raised a magic circle covered with green branches and leaves and softly recited a prayer.

"Mira, the goddess of life. I pray to you, may this forbidden land, which runs counter to life, be purified."

As she finished speaking, a gentle and soothing power emerged from the branch and leaf magic array, spreading downwards along the girl's thoughts, causing the withered plants to regain their vitality and stand upright again.

Just when the girl thought the cemetery could be covered with vegetation and blend into the surrounding forest, an unexpected event occurred.

"Whoosh—!"

A fierce white flame suddenly rose up, instantly igniting all the surrounding plants.

"Huh? What's going on..."

Before the girl could react, a pale arm suddenly emerged from the flames and grabbed her neck.

At that moment, a deep voice rang in the girl's ear.

"The power of life, you... are you a servant of the god of life?"

"No, she never had any relatives, but you do possess the power of life."

"Could you be...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the arms that were gripping the girl suddenly loosened and pulled back in pain.

Not only that, even the white flames all around were gradually receding.

"Ughhh!!!"

"But what's going on? What's erasing my sense of self...!"

"The power of fate?!"

"Ugh!!! Prospero, I knew you weren't really asleep! You actually ambushed me at this time!!!"

The voice suddenly became violent, causing a large number of leaves to fall from the surrounding trees.

At this moment, the girl slumped to the ground, barely managing to prop herself up with one hand on her staff.

"Um, although I don't know who you are, you seem to be in a lot of pain. Do you want me to help you?"

Upon hearing this, the voice was clearly taken aback, and then said with great disdain.

"You? But you were just trying to get rid of me, and I was just trying to strangle you, and now you're suddenly planning to help me?"

"To empathize with the enemy so easily, I really don't know why you're still alive, you brat."

"Even if you were willing to help me, I couldn't withstand the power of life. You brat, get out of my way and stop licking my boots..."

Suddenly, the girl shook her head.

"No, I wanted to help you, but I didn't realize this cemetery was actually inhabited. I realized I might have offended you and wanted to atone for it."

"And I never said I would use my life force to help you."

As she spoke, the girl suddenly withdrew the magic circle that held the handle and took out a small whistle.

The Druid's Call

"You just said that you were being interfered with by the power of fate, right? Well, I happen to have some power related to fate here, which might be able to help you."

With that, the girl gently blew the whistle in her hand, which brought a gentle breeze.

With the help of the wind, the white flames that were about to dissipate in the cemetery suddenly rose again, instantly illuminating the space.

"Okay, you should be alright now, right?"

The girl smiled as she looked at the white flames before her, her hands gently pressed against her chest.

"Amazing. I don't know how you did it, but the power of fate truly cannot affect me..."

Faced with the voice's questioning tone, the girl lightly covered her lips and casually replied.

"How did you do that, hmm..."

"It's not that complicated. I just took you in as my summoned creature and gave you the protection that belongs to fate."
