Great Wasteland City.
On a bustling street.
At some point, a pavilion appeared. At first glance, it seemed inconspicuous.
But upon closer inspection, the pavilion seemed to hold some profound Daoist truths.
In front of the pavilion, a young man with a handsome face and tall, slender build, dressed in a green robe, stood on a stool, struggling to hang a plaque on the doorframe.
“Heavenly Mechanism Tower!”
“Such audacity!”
“This couplet is interesting. The first line: ‘Judging Yin and Yang, dividing the Five Elements, observing the Sun and Moon in the palm.' The second line: ‘Understanding the past and future, knowing Yin and Yang, concealing the universe in the sleeve.' The horizontal inscription: ‘The Heavenly Mechanism Can Be Measured!'“
“Tsk tsk, is this person out of his mind? Such boastful words, and he dares to speak them out loud?”
“The Heavenly Mechanism is unpredictable. Anyone who tries to probe it will meet disaster. Does this young man not understand that?”
...
The surrounding pedestrians, upon seeing the shop's plaque, became curious.
Of course, more people were merely there to watch the spectacle.
In this fantasy world, strength was supreme. Though people were interested in the Heavenly Mechanism, even Imperial-level experts would not dare interfere with its operation. Even if they could perceive it, they would never speak of it.
But this small shop, however, boldly displayed the name Heavenly Mechanism Tower!
It was as if they were challenging the very Heavenly Dao of this world!
Revealing even a little bit of the Heavenly Mechanism would likely bring disastrous consequences for the shop's owner.
“Heavenly Mechanism Tower is now open for business. Welcome, honored guests, to support the shop.”
After hanging the plaque, Li Yun jumped down from the stool, dusted off his robe, and smiled as he cupped his hands towards the passersby.
He was the owner of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
Originally not from this world, but upon waking up one day, he found himself in this unfamiliar realm.
In this world, the strong could move mountains and fill seas, destroy the heavens and annihilate the earth. The weak, however, lived like weeds, barely surviving from day to day.
Fortunately, upon crossing over, Li Yun awakened the system on his very first day.
The Heavenly Mechanism System!
As the name suggests, this system could calculate the Heavenly Mechanism. Anyone in this world who entered the Heavenly Mechanism Tower would have their past and future thoroughly investigated.
This investigation was not without limits.
Each probe consumed a certain number of Heavenly Mechanism Points.
The stronger the person or the greater their potential, the more Heavenly Mechanism Points were required to investigate their fate.
As for how to obtain Heavenly Mechanism Points, the method was simple.
Anything of value could be exchanged with the system, including but not limited to cultivation techniques, divine abilities, secret arts, elixirs, rare materials, and more.
Anything that the system deemed valuable could be exchanged for Heavenly Mechanism Points.
As the owner of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, Li Yun could use the Heavenly Mechanism Points to exchange for cultivation, techniques, elixirs, or other items from the system, or he could use them to investigate others' fates.
It was worth noting that the elixirs and techniques exchanged from the system could only be used by him.
This directly shut down the possibility of opening a second line of business.
“Before I become strong enough, I doubt I'll be able to leave the Heavenly Mechanism Tower,” Li Yun thought to himself.
Revealing the Heavenly Mechanism always led to backlash from the Heavenly Dao.
This saying was common in martial worlds, let alone in fantasy worlds.
Only the Heavenly Mechanism Tower could block the Dao's perception and suppress the power of the strong, putting itself in a state of invincibility. Leaving the Heavenly Mechanism Tower would be akin to seeking death!
“Now everything is ready, just waiting for the right person to come.”
Li Yun glanced at the crowd on the street.
Most of them were just ordinary people watching the spectacle, with only a few having cultivation. However, their power was too weak, and they probably didn't have anything valuable to exchange.
To “shear the sheep,” he would have to wait for a big client.
But how to get a big client to come was a tricky matter.
Li Yun shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Those who were meant to come would come naturally, and those who didn't, with his current strength, he couldn't drag them into the Heavenly Mechanism Tower anyway.
It was better to wait patiently.
Returning to the tower, Li Yun brewed a pot of tea and leisurely lay on a long bench, holding a and reading it with great interest.
While Li Yun was reading,
Outside the Heavenly Mechanism Tower,
A young woman in white appeared, with an air of cold elegance. She wore a white gown and carried an ancient sword on her back, resembling a Tianshan snow lotus blooming in the wind.
No one dared to stand within a three-meter radius of her.
Her gaze fell upon the three characters “Heavenly Mechanism Tower,” and a gleam of interest flashed in her eyes.
“The Heavenly Mechanism can be measured?”
“Even my master cannot achieve this. I must see for myself which great person dares to speak such bold words!”
The young woman muttered to herself.
She stepped towards the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
As soon as she entered the tower,
She noticed something was off.
Inside, the Heavenly Mechanism Tower was ancient and simple, with an air of elegance. Everything inside appeared ordinary, yet when placed together, it exuded a mysterious charm.
There was a natural sense of the Dao flowing through.
“Something's strange!”
The young woman thought to herself.
But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange.
“Miss Liu!”
As the young woman was lost in thought, a clear voice rang out from nearby.
Li Yun, in his green robe, smiling, sat up from the long bench and waved his hand.
“Miss, you've traveled countless miles to reach Great Wasteland City, and I'm sure the journey was fraught with peril. How about first enjoying a cup of hot tea?”
