Chapter 60: Arranging Fate
“Wish Princess, I want the privilege of fate!”
Night Star Lan had long been pondering what wish would give her the best results.
After discovering the existence of fate in the Memory World, she knew exactly what to do.
If fate could arrange anything, why not become fate itself and use its power to solve all current problems?
Right at that moment, Night Star Lan suddenly noticed an unknown gaze upon her. However, nothing indicated this presence.
The next second.
The Wish Princess responded.
“Successfully realized.”
Night Star Lan felt a surge of magical power surge within her; it was a divine force, perhaps even beyond even the highest-level wish machines.
This was the power of fate.
She even wondered if this wish was granted because of fate’s silent approval.
If fate didn’t allow it, maybe the wish machine wouldn’t have been able to grant it at all.
So, did acquiring the power of fate mean it was her destiny?
What an irritating handout.
Whatever. As long as it solves the problem.
Night Star Lan composed herself, carefully feeling the power of fate. Everything around her seemed to be at peace, even the pressure coming from the out-of-control Kuro vanished.
In the face of fate, everything felt insignificant.
Knowing how to use the power of fate, Night Star Lan faced Kuro with no fear.
So what if he wasn’t weakened? So what if he was out of control?
He’s just half of the Origin of the Stars, how could he ever match a complete wish machine?
“Fate… you can actually use fate’s power against me? It’s actually going to favor an individual like this? Giving away the power of fate? Even to a human?”
Kuro burst into laughter, his emotions completely unhinged.
“Hahaha! You’re still my friend, your passion actually made fate recognize you. But why can’t I do it? Is it because my passion isn’t as good as yours? How did you pull it off?”
Night Star Lan tilted her head.
“Do I really need to explain it? All you need to do is be a lazy fish, all your troubles and efforts will backfire. Your passion needs to simmer down a bit.”
If Kuro didn’t have such a formidable power, his enthusiastic personality might even thrive in human society, making him quite likeable. Instead, he’s this terrifying figure because of his immense strength.
At a time like this, all-consuming passions drove him to cause headaches and destruction.
It’s not about passion; it’s more like he was out to cause trouble.
No one could feel his enthusiasm, only his terror.
So making sure he lost his powers was the solution.
Without power, he was just a passionate person and couldn’t stir any waves.
Night Star Lan wasn’t planning on eliminating him.
Unlike the Ballad Conductor, Kuro wasn’t that detestable.
Only if he stops causing trouble will it suffice.
“I’ll rearrange your fate from today onwards. You won’t be the origin of Star Eclipses anymore; instead, you’ll be a regular human.”
No sooner were the words out than…
The power within Kuro’s body was forcibly separated.
Created by fate, he too would be subject to its judgment now.
Then, Night Star Lan began to line up Kuro’s fate one sentence at a time.
“You’ll regain an ordinary identity, an ordinary life, and an ordinary circle of friends. You’ll get an ordinary job and go through the same routines as everyone else. Because of your enthusiastic nature, people around you will also be very caring. You will live normally, meet challenges, endure difficulties, until you d*e a natural d*ath.”
The core essence of Kuro being the Star Eclipses origin was completely stripped and taken hold of by Night Star Lan.
Without such power, he no longer had to bear the curses of fate. Everything would return to normal.
The prohibition that Kuro and Bai couldn’t coexist in the same timeline was lifted.
“The disasters caused by your arrival will gradually be rectified. Star Power will revert to its original state, and humans will no longer easily lose control of it, leading to the Star Eclipses state. The identity of the origin of Star Eclipses will be absorbed by Luo Xi to become the new Star Origin.”
Immediately after,
People affected by Star Eclipses returned to normal, and social chaos began to stabilize.
When Mo Tu in Cloud Long City sensed the disappearance of the internal abnormal influence, he couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction.
“Very fast, solved in less than a day. Although it took an hour, that’s still pretty quick.”
Next to him, Wang Chao immediately perked up.
“Hey! A miracle has happened? That little loli actually made another miracle? Once everything settles down, I’m definitely making her a figurine!”
“Don’t act so shamelessly. Do you know better?”
“That’s the spirit! I’m a man who lives honestly. I face the consequences of my actions and never deny my taste. If I don’t put this little Night Lan who keeps making miracles on a pedestal, should I put up that lazy dog Sunlight who’s always disappearing then?”
“Oh right, tomorrow we’ll expose all your black history on the Night Watcher website.”
“What did you do, Mo Tu?!”
…
Capital.
Ling Feng, sitting on the roof, slowly opened his eyes. The Star Eclipses aura gradually dissipated, leaving him feeling extremely exhausted.
“She did it? Good job, finally a chance to rest…”
Ling Feng lay down on the ground, taking a deep breath.
Had he continued in that state, he probably would have only lasted half a day, even if it cost him his soul.
One person trying to suppress worldwide Star Eclipses pollution was almost too fanciful for reality.
He achieved it, but it led to his inevitable doom.
Under normal circumstances, resisting for an hour would take half his life, and even if he lived, he couldn’t continue as the Night Watcher leader.
But it didn’t seem that he could step down yet.
The Star Eclipses aura dissipated on its own, and the contamination disappeared.
He felt a bit mentally drained; was this girl’s miracle at play?
Probably.
…
Back to Night Star Lan’s perspective.
Kuro’s threat was eliminated thanks to fate’s arrangement.
But there were still some details to handle.
That is, use the power of fate to stabilize the current order.
For example, let ordinary people naturally forget the disaster and quickly return to their daily lives.
The casualties from the disaster would also naturally recover, as if time had been rewound.
Star Holders who died wouldn’t turn into Star Eclipses, preventing future incidents.
Etc.
In short, while she still controlled fate, Night Star Lan planned to create a comfortable environment to slack off!
But before she could finish arranging things, the power within her suddenly vanished, as if reclaimed by some entity.
“Hey!”
Night Star Lan blinked in confusion, glaring at the disappearing strange celestial phenomenon.
“Stingy! Why take it back so soon! There’s nothing to change that much!”
But fate didn’t respond.
Suddenly feeling unwell, Luo Xi within her was instantly separated.
Instantly, vast mental strength rapidly diminished and returned to Level B.
Even if fate was somewhat fond of Night Star Lan, it wouldn’t indulge her.
Curses would remain curses to avoid becoming the next Kuro.
Night Star Lan grumbled unhappily.
“Stingy fate, don’t let me catch you, or I’ll turn you into a little loli for sure!”
Unfortunately, her power couldn’t manipulate fate.
But maybe she could do it with someone else’s help?
Like a powerful being from another world who can cut through concepts and the Night Sky.
With such a person, they definitely pose a threat to fate.
“Hmm…”
Night Star Lan fell into deep thought.
She needed to find a chance and invite the Night Sky over for a chat.
Then she looked over at Kuro, who seemed bewildered and confused about his current situation.
Without his Star Eclipses origin and powers, he was about to face a normal human fate.
Having no memories would be the best outcome.
Night Star Lan felt this was quite lenient to him.
She originally wanted to turn him into a light bulb and hang him in the theater’s ceiling forever.
Now, staying cautious seems wiser.
“Anyway, finally, a good time to take a break and slack off…”
