"2024, December 24th, steal the A.I chip and World tree seed!"
Writing this down in his to-do list, Lin Ye reviewed his plans going forward.
Right now there were only two weeks left till the energy that affected the world finally spread
And if nothing else changed, then he would without a doubt like a majority of the human race, be unable to awaken any ability
Yes, although it might seem ironic, but humanities strongest hunter and only S-class hunter was unable to awaken
In other words, he in the world of hunters, he was completely talent-less
Without a hint of potential
Because of that, not only was he ridiculed and ignored.
But because neither he nor anyone in his family could awaken, they ultimately lived a life full of misery before falling one by one under the harshness of reality
"Sigh.. had it not been for that incident, I would have been the same as them"
"in fact, sometimes I even used to wish that I had never encountered 'that' and died with them"
"Perhaps if I had died back then, then at least I wouldn't be alive to feel the pain and anguish, constantly reliving the moment Mom, Dad, and Ting'er died in my eyes"
"Fortunately, my prayers weren't answered, otherwise I wouldn't have the opportunity I have now"
Saying this, Lin Ye suddenly noticed that his vision was somewhat blurry as he spoke
*drip!*
*drop!*
looking at the To-do list in his arms, unknowingly drops of tears had begun falling from his eyes making his handwriting somewhat blurry.
"Ha~ is it because I'm reborn now, but back then. It would be impossible for me to shed a tear, even if I wanted to"
Thinking about the past, he recalled the events that had happened right after his parents died.
In a world full of hunters, monster beasts, and otherworldly gods and invaders, there was only one way for powerless people such as him to change their fate.
And that was with the aid of artifacts
Much like Newtons' hourglass in his arms, artifacts contained all kinds of heaven-defying powers capable of making even the most powerless person, become a god of war in one step.
And back then, perhaps because of fate, he managed to stumble upon their artifact which made his life do a complete 180
an artifact, which gave him the title of the one-armed swordsman, and allowed him to climb to the top of the hunter pyramid.
The same artifact that allowed him to deliver that world-destroying slash, and destroy the blue star and the universe as a whole.
"Bai Qi's Sword.."
"Otherwise known as the Devouring Blade of the Slaughter God"
Taking a look at the tattoo of a black long sword on the back of his palm, Lin Ye wasn't surprised when he noticed it had followed him to this life
After all, like most artifacts, they were soul-bound to him, meaning unless he truly lost his soul, then it would be forever with him.
However, as for whether the original would still exist in this timeline. Then that was one of the things he had to check on his to-do list.
If they did, then he would try to combine both of them.
If not, then what he had in his hand was more than enough
"This sword, not only was it able to absorb the opponents strength, stamina, life, and
sometimes even abilities of those it killed"
"but it came with an equally domineering side effect where the wielder is tormented and entangled by the souls of consciousness of those devoured"
"inheriting their memories, obsession, and emotions along with their strength, as long as you give into any of these side effects then you and the soul would switch places making you lose control of your body"
"because of this, I deliberately made sure to cut off my sleep and emotions"
"had it not been for those outer gods being so ruthless and making me give into my anger, then I would have probably died without remembering what it felt like to feel angry"
"However, it seems that all this is in the past as ever since I returned back in time, I have been able to fully feel my emotions!"
Curling up his lips lightly, Lin Ye felt that his current situation wasn't so bad.
"Alright, that's enough about that, if nothing unexpected happens, I only have two weeks till the d-day, fortunately, this past month I've been able to achieve a lot of things"
"secretively secured a hidden shelter as well as food to last several months for my family and I"
"marked the location of the first batch of artifacts that can be gotten once chaos ensues"
Speaking of this, although he had achieved so much, but Lin Ye knew all this was nowhere enough if he wanted to face those outer gods by the year 2040
If everything went the way he planned, then he would probably only make it to SS or SSS rank as a hunter
Still not even able to look at those outer gods directly much less put a stop to their plans.
Fortunately, as someone who had been reborn, he also came with a golden finger that formed as a result of his time travel.
Baptized by the turret of time space on his way back, a small world had formed in his soul and right now although this space was only about five meters wide and tall.
But with addition of two certain artefact, different from the small dark and empty space it is now.
Not only would it grow, but it would be his opportunity to counterattack against those outer gods.
Thinking of those two artifacts, the smile in Lin Ye's eyes couldn't be hidden.
Clenching his fists, and thinking about the future, his excitement couldn't be hidden as his breathing became unstable.
"The World tree seed, the only artifact to be created without a physical object or historical object tied to it. Purely conjured out of human imagination and the energy from the universe"
"and the first A.I. chip, the only artifact formed in modern times, it said to be capable of deducing anything and everything"
"if I get these two, then the future is in my hands!"
*Bang!*
Banging his hand on the table out of excitement, Lin Ye could barely hold himself together as he thought of the future
However before he could get too excited, he saw an onld woman staring daggers at him from the other end of the library
"Shh…!! quiet!!!!!" she said
Hearing this, Lin Ye could only return the book he was reading and smile awkwardly as he began picking up his things to leave the library
Unknowingly it turns out that the one-armed swordsman is also afraid of librarians
