'System, what are these rewards for?' Ye Tian Yun asked the System through his thoughts.
[Host, you have affected fate and these are the rewards.]
'Um… I know that. Let me rephrase my words. Why am I getting the rewards?'
[Are you not happy with the rewards?]
'Of course, I am, but I should at least know-how and whose fate I have changed. Also, am I going to get rewards for all the people's fate that changes due to me? Then won't I be getting unlimited fate points? Since my every action would affect someone's fate.'
[Host will only get Fate Points if he changes the original future or if he changes his fate. The original future here means your own future from the previous life]
'Aren't these the same things? Changing my future or avoiding death is almost the same. In fact, I am trying to change my future so I can avoid my death on the Hundred Realm Refining Platform.'
[They are indeed similar, however, changing the future also includes affecting the people around you and diverting their future.]
'Oh? So, I changed mine and someone else's original future? As far as I know, the only thing that I planned to change was stopping Xiao Ming from getting that manual. I succeeded in that. But that doesn't answer my doubt regarding all the other rewards. Why don't you tell me about this?'
[72 Fate Points Required.]
"What the hell!?" Ye Tian Yun almost shouted out loud, "Are you here to help me or to put me in debt!?"
[System only wants the best for the host. T&C applied.]
'T&C? Now, what's that?"
[Insufficient Fate Points to answer this question.]
'Damn, alright, first show me my status."

'Why have my Kill Points decreased?' Ye Tian Yun asked. He remembered that last night after suppressing his cultivation to the 2nd level of Qi Condensation Realm, the remaining Kill Points were nearly nine thousand.
[Host needs to keep his inventory upgraded. System has blessed him by renewing the inventory subscription.]
'But isn't that only 75 Kill Points? I have lost about 200 Kill Points here.'
[System has charged for the last few months too since the disguise was supposed to remain for one month only, however, system didn't disturb you and renewed the disguise at the right time]
'Am I your first Host, System?'
[Host, System is infinite and universal. Hosts are many, so are Systems. But only one System is supreme. There are many systems, some proclaim themselves Peerless System, some call themselves Strongest System, some claim to be the Ultimate Scheming System, few our class-based, like Alchemy System, and few are based on species, like Vampire System]
'So many systems… what about you? I am sure you're the Rip-off System!'
[I am the Emblem System. And I am part of this universe.]
'This universe? Are there other universes too? How is this possible? Are there any other Systems in the Lower or Middle Heavens? In our universe?''
[Host does not have enough Authority to know the answer.]
'What? But you just told me such a big secret, what kind of authority is needed for this question?'
[Host, the question you asked is related to this universe. System is not allowed to talk about such things without affecting fate.]
'Affecting fate?'
[Yes, Host. The reason why you need fate points is so that you can ask anything without alerting Heaven's Will. If Heaven's Will gets suspicious, it won't hesitate to send a few Heavenly Lightning Tribulations.]
[And at your strength, it's just a matter of one Heavenly Lightning to wipe out your existence]
'Oh, then leave it. This is not one of my concerns for now; I need to focus on other things. Tell me how I got so many Fate Points. I need to know what I have affected.'
[72 Fate Points Required.]
'It's alright, just tell me. Hopefully, the information is worth this many Fate Points'
[72 Fate Points Consumed]
[Remaining Fate Points: 41]
[Host, three months ago, you killed three cultivators in the Xin-Wu Battlefront. Your act of killing them directly affected someone's plan against the Gracious Sword Sect and led to today's assassination. Due to this, Jiang Yun got injured very badly tonight, even though he was supposed to be the one to organize tonight's assassination.]
[And now his participation in the Grand Spirit Hunt has become impossible. Since he won't be able to take part in the Grand Spirit Hunt, he won't betray the Gracious Sword Sect, but instead would feel indebted, now that the Sect has done its best to save him.]
[Him not betraying the sect would then change the whole sect's fate. Thus many disciples would be able to live for far longer than they were supposed to. This would strengthen the Gracious Sword Sect in the future, making them have even better chances of survival when the God's Legion crusades throughout the Lower Heavens.]
'Damn, killing three random cultivators had such a big effect? Sigh, life is unpredictable.'
After a moment of silence, Ye Tian Yun asked, "I don't understand the last part; why would the God's Legion attack here? They and the Gracious Sword Sect were allies in my previous life.'
'In fact, the Gracious Sword Sect was the very first allies of the God's Legion when the whole world was against them. Just the thought that these two could become huge enemies sounds a bit absurd.'
'And with the presence of Sect Leader Su, who I am pretty sure is in the Sword Domain Realm, I am sure that in the whole Lower Heavens, the people who could defeat him could be counted on one hand.. God's Legion will have a hard time if they somehow succeeded in forming and going against the Gracious Sword Sect.'
