"What's wrong with this guy? Every single time..."

"You always manage to get ahead of me!"

Sima Yuan, her face contorted with rage, gripped a vial of medicine in her hand and viciously plunged it into her arm.

"I had already planted the seed for my advancement to the third tier, but I never expected this!"

Sima Yuan frowned as she realized she had reached the third tier of strength.

"That's not enough. Only at the fourth rank can one truly unleash most of the power of causality!"

"But now, let me manipulate your causal threads, first one! Hehe!" Sima Yuan chuckled wickedly as she examined Lin Xiao's causal threads.

"Buzz..."

"Snapped!"

Sima Yuan had just examined Lin Xiao's causal lines when she exclaimed in surprise, "Impossible! How could his causal lines become so thick!"

The moment Sima Yuan's fingers touched the ground, the causal connection belonging to Lin Xiao suddenly unleashed a certain force, repelling Sima Yuan's hand.

"I can't even sway his causal connections now!"

Sima Yuan looked on incredulously, then her face twisted in disbelief once more.

"Zhuge Duo! I will definitely defeat you!"

Sima Yuan adjusted the selection of the causal manipulator, and finally, he identified Lin Xiao's former enemy, the SSS-level talent space, Sweet.

Sima Yuan adjusted Sweet's cause and effect, so that the next time he enters the barrier, he will come to his own territory!

Unaware that he was completely absorbed in his work, Sima Yuan had quietly risen to second place on the world rankings, meaning he had surpassed Zhuge Duo, whom he had mentioned.

……

While watering the flowers, Zhuge Duo suddenly felt a reminder from fate, so she stopped what she was doing and began to examine her destiny talent.

"Huh?" Zhuge Duo exclaimed in surprise, looking at Lin Xiao, who had already reached the fourth level.

"The power of fate...failed to work on him?"

Zhuge Duo once placed her fate on Lin Xiao's shoulders, and allowed Lin Xiao to reach the third rank more quickly.

It wasn't that Zhuge Duo didn't want Lin Xiao to reach the fourth rank, but rather that the effort required for Lin Xiao to reach the fourth rank would be too great for his destiny.

Perhaps, once her strength reaches the fourth rank, she will then interfere with the fate of fourth-rank creatures.

Zhuge Duo tilted her head and pondered for a while before starting to adjust the fate lines of many people, and at the same time, she also adjusted her own fate line.

If someone who can understand this line of fate were to look at it, they would find that, with Lin Xiao's thick line of fate as the center, some smaller lines of fate have tightly wrapped around Lin Xiao's line of fate.

And at the very front were none other than Sikong Xinyou, Lü Qiao, and others.

However, there was one line of fate that appeared and disappeared intermittently, and Zhuge Duo also saw this strange line of fate.

What's even stranger is that Zhuge Duo has no way of controlling this elusive thread of fate, a discovery that fills her with a sense of unease.

Currently, all the SSS-level survivors are staring in astonishment at the words "Tier 4" following the number one on the leaderboard.

If Lin Xiao had only advanced to the third rank, it would have been fine, but he actually skipped two ranks in a row, soaring directly from the second rank to the third rank.

This piqued the interest of survivors with SSS-level talents.

"Interesting!" A certain SSS-level talent possessor looked at Lin Xiao on the world rankings and said softly.

Powell Waters, SSS-level talent, prophecy.

This prophecy is not merely a simple prophecy; rather, like cause and effect and destiny, it makes the prophesied events become established facts.

For example, someone was hit and killed by a car while crossing the street, but Powell saw it and predicted that the person would not die that day.

Therefore, this person will not be hit by a car and killed today.

The more detailed the prediction, the less Powell's time wasted.

"I predict..." Powell looked at Lin Xiao's name, but after saying only three words, his words suddenly stopped.

He couldn't bring himself to say anything to Lin Xiao after that; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Even what Powell said wasn't anything detrimental to Lin Xiao; on the contrary, to a certain extent, it was only beneficial to Lin Xiao and not harmful.

Even so, Powell was unable to make any predictions about Lin Xiao.

Naturally, this is also the natural immunity that Lin Xiao has against lower-level survivors after his strength reaches the fourth level.

Because the difference in their levels of life experience is simply too great.

Lin Xiao was completely unaware of how the other SSS-level beings were targeting him, and even his three talents remained almost unchanged.

Lin Xiao, however, had no interest in these matters at the moment; he was very busy.

He's currently trying to improve all the skills he possesses, otherwise the feeling of using them is just too unpleasant.

Lin Xiao can now step from the safe house to the top of the mist in one step, while his Instant Step skill only covers a distance of 33 meters per use.

The skills Lin Xiao currently possesses are completely unable to keep up with the speed at which his strength is increasing.

The equipment is alright; the fifth-tier Mountain Seal and the fourth-tier Ever-Changing Ring are both usable.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiao projected a skill book on mind manipulation.

Then he thought about the skill books he had owned.

Instant Step, Concealment Recovery, Aerial Flight, Clone Bomb, and Tier 4 Mental Manipulation.

Lin Xiao projected one of each of the five skill books and then combined them all to a level of +30.

Afterwards, Lin Xiao looked at the five +30 skill books and thought for a while. He then combined the five skill books into one, focusing on mental manipulation.

However, the skill book after being synthesized looks completely different.

Skill Book: Spirit Pillar, Tier 4. Allows for spatial teleportation and spatial jumps using mental power; can also use mental power to heal the physical and mental injuries of others.

Spatial teleportation: Jumping can break through ordinary barriers, such as those between territories, allowing the teleportation of people and objects. The maximum number of people that can be carried at a time is 31.

"However, barriers like those in the ruins cannot be broken at present."

"Can manipulate objects, living beings, and force fields using mental power; can create clones that are almost identical to the original body, and these clones can use any ability, including innate talents."

The strength of the creature you control cannot exceed 31 times your own.

"The clone possesses intermediate-level combat instincts and can be controlled to create explosions, the power of which is roughly equivalent to a full-force attack from a fourth-tier fighter."

Current maximum number of clones that can be created: 31

"Hiss!" Lin Xiao gasped as he looked at the skill that had become a pillar of his spirit.

"A skill that combines combat, defense, healing, support, summoning, and mobility functions!"
