[Ancient Taoism + prophetic miscalculation + deduction + pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger + picking up leaks + single female protagonist]
On the day when Heaven issued the decree, all the saints in the ancient world raised their heads at the same time.
There are only four words in the decree: Find someone.
What they were looking for was Lin Fan - an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect who was on the fourth level of Qi Refining. He looked like a coward and a good-for-nothing, the kind of person who would be thrown into a pile of people and couldn't be picked out.
No one knew that Lin Fan brought a lot of stories about gods when he traveled through time. He knew who would be on the list of gods and who would die in the calamity.
But once his butterfly flaps its wings, history goes off the rails. A prophet can also make miscalculations: the game he thought was a sure win turned over, the person he thought would die survived, the safe path he had deduced three times turned out to be a murderous game at the end. The "ending" in my mind became increasingly unreliable.
Prophecy can deceive, chance can kill. He has seen people who shouted "My fate is up to me" and the grass on their graves was three feet high; he had seen people who said "This boy has a great opportunity" rushed into the secret realm and never came out. So Lin Fan decided to do whatever he wanted: others were trying to steal the secret realm and he was weeding it. He "accidentally" fell off the stage in the first round of the competition. The saint's fighting skills shattered the spiritual treasure. He squatted at the foot of the mountain to pick up the fragments and put together half of the Immortal Killing Sword.
The bronze mirror in his hand could still reveal who was plotting against him behind his back.
He hid it so well that when Tiandao counted the chess pieces, he found that there was one piece missing on the chessboard.
Lin Fan sighed: "Originally I just wanted to live in peace and quiet, but in the end I was so quiet that even Heaven couldn't find me."
