My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 230: Fate Palace and Seeing the future

Aur returned to his grand residence with a pensive expression on his face.

"I should be able to get the resources from Noah soon," he remarked, his voice reflecting a mix of determination and uncertainty.

Although he found Noah's change in attitude a bit peculiar, it seemed fitting. After all, with only one alchemist in the entire village, adding another could boost the supply of resources, particularly in these times of war where resource was desperately needed.

But there was another aspect to consider...

"The monopoly," Aur muttered, his tone casual. With only one alchemist in town, they could monopolise the trade, setting prices at their discretion and enjoying unparalleled status in the village.

Contemplating this, Aur's brow furrowed in concern.

"I may inadvertently be stirring up conflict," he thought in his heart.

However, Aur harboured no fear. He understood that as one grows in power, making enemies becomes inevitable.

If he were to cower in fear, advancement would be impossible. Besides, once he reached the tier two realm with his physical body, he would possess enough power to rival even the Elders.

"Muscle system," he commanded.

Instantly, a blue panel flickered before appearing in front of his eyes.

Looking at his stats, a contemplative expression appeared on his face.

"I should be able to do alchemy again this time," Aur's eyes flickered.

Actually, after he failed last time, he had felt some heart pain and immediately gave up practising alchemy completely because it would only be a waste of these resources. Sure, his proficiency might increase with it; however, it was not worth the cost of it.

After that, he only focused on thoroughly comprehending the technique perfectly, and with the increase in his intelligence attribute, the power of his comprehension became greater.

His understanding of the entire thing became clearer and clearer as the day went by.

"But first," Aur looked at the major point of his talent he had in the system currently.

Previously, he hadn't used the point because it was unnecessary at the moment.

However, now with the looming danger of the beast tide roaming around, his heart felt unease and the future was unknown.

But even using these points, Aur didn't know if it would show his future or the others' future.

He could only grit his teeth and accept the change in it.

With a thought, the blue panel flickered in front of him and changed.

Aur directly fell onto the bed, completely unconscious. A mysterious blue energy emanated from his soul and slowly extended out of his body, connecting to what seemed like another dimension, imperceptible to any three-dimensional being.

The blue energy, resembling a string, finally reached an extremely chaotic golden cloud tinged with black in this other dimension, connecting with it.

The chaotic golden clouds seemed to flicker and crackle with a static-like energy. At the centre of this chaos stood a tall pagoda, with the words "Fate Palace" inscribed on its front.

The Fate Palace appeared to be the central pillar of this place, controlling all the golden energies tainted with black.

However, at this moment, there were various cracks on it, and the walls of the pagoda were decaying, on the brink of destruction.

This decay was even visible to the naked eye; although it was barely perceivable and extremely slow, it would gradually accumulate until the Fate Palace would be completely destroyed one day.

As the blue mysterious energy connected to the chaotic clouds, they began to resonate, and Aur, still unconscious on the bed, experienced a shift in his vision. Gradually, he found himself immersed in a sea of fire.

The surroundings were engulfed in flames, and the echoes of battle reverberated everywhere, accompanied by the flow of a river of blood.

At the heart of the battlefield, two men faced off against each other.

"First Elder, you…" Noah's voice rang out, his chest splattered with blood, his expression wrought with disbelief.

"Hahaha, Noah, did you not expect that I would be a tier three wizard?" the First Elder taunted with a smirk.

"Now, perish!"

With those words, the First Elder moved with lightning speed, reducing Noah to nothing but a blood mist in an instant.

"Now, it's time to deal with the other one, William. He has grown too arrogant, merely because he has reached the tier two wizard realm. Once I dispose of him, I will have complete control over the village. At that point, I shall reign supreme."

The First Elder smirked, his expression filled with confidence.

Shortly after, a youth with a burly physique and long white hair emerged, his crimson eyes flickering with intensity.

"Is everything taken care of?" Aur's voice rang out, illuminated by the blazing light.

The First Elder glanced at Aur, his demeanour shifting to a smile.

"Yes, everything is settled. William is the only one remaining," he confirmed.

"Good," Aur sighed, and in an instant, both of them vanished into thin air.

Observing the scene from a third-person perspective, Aur furrowed his brow.

"This isn't right," he muttered, his tone tinged with unease. The surge of blood and Qi, and the strength of his body depicted in the vision, mirrored Aur's current abilities precisely.

However, this didn't make sense because Aur was seeing the future; there was no way there was not even an iota of improvement in the future.

If Aur casually allocated even one point to his attribute or even used the devour spell, he would be slightly stronger than the future he is seeing in the vision.

These thoughts left him confused. What is happening? The future he is seeing from his talent might be the most inaccurate thing he could find.
