If Ashley didn't lie, then he might be able to obtain the power bestowed by Dao Fruit from the Fairy Tale World.

And he could only use Peiya's attributes and power himself.

This goes against the current looped time.

Another point is that he can personally experience the feeling of applying entries to himself.

The abilities generated in the Fairy Tale World come at no cost.

Or to put it another way, entering the Fairy Tale World and living through the plot itself is the greatest cost.

An iron bead was made into a ring by Lin Qianxuan, with entries of [Luck] bestowed upon it by him.

A single [Luck] entry doesn't increase attributes much, but a thousand [Luck] entries together make a big difference.

Lin Qianxuan could feel that things beneficial to him in this world would occur more easily.

Previously, when Lin Qianxuan made moves on He Yun, he was already very familiar with this set of techniques.

Now, he effortlessly completed the preparations.

Thinking it over, he felt he might as well bring Peiya along for a dungeon run.

In that environment, who knows if the Dao Fruit can be used, plus Peiya could more clearly feel the power of the peculiar object Dao Fruit.

Until now, Lin Qianxuan had never really let Peiya go against a peculiar object.

Mainly, he changed too many parts of the plot. According to the Dark Diary, Peiya just left the newbie village and was still wandering.

Developing her Dao Fruit to a point where it could contend with peculiar objects would happen long after she joined the Tower of Truth.

Getting a relatively safe experience of a peculiar object's power now is undoubtedly beneficial for her.

Without much hesitation, Lin Qianxuan made up his mind on the matter.

Then he crafted a luck-enhancing ring for Peiya as well.

Just in case, Lin Qianxuan added even more [Luck] entries to hers.

Time thus passed to a month later.

Ashley was also almost done with preparations.

After years of networking, she had her connections, so gathering some luck-enhancing peculiar objects wasn't difficult at this point.

As for the cost, Lin Qianxuan didn't ask.

In the safe house Ashley prepared, that old fairy tale book just lay on the table.

Lin Qianxuan and Peiya sat in a circle.

Peiya held a small cat, and a new luck ring adorned her index finger.

"Let's begin," Lin Qianxuan said.

"Alright."

Ashley nodded slightly, then reached out to touch the fairy tale book, gently flipping it open.

The page opened to the story where the hero defeats the evil dragon and saves the princess.

Written in ancient Rafa Empire language, the story read:

"A long, long time ago, in a place called Terrance Kingdom..."

The surroundings began to change, and Lin Qianxuan distinctly felt the rules of the world being reversed and altered.

-----------------

In a daze, Lin Qianxuan was no longer in the safe house but in a village.

He slightly clenched his fist, his attributes seemed decent, reaching Profound Rank, but his body had undergone significant changes, limiting his ability to harness Dao Realm-level power despite his extraordinary skills.

Not many memories filled his mind; he was simply an ordinary villager in this village, with a small wooden house, and his name was still his own.

"Even with enhanced luck, I'm still just a regular person? Could something be wrong?"

Lin Qianxuan frowned slightly.

Unexpected developments are always disappointing.

He slightly extended his palm, which shimmered with light.

Lin Qianxuan breathed a sigh of relief; the power of the Dao Fruit wasn't restricted.

After all, it leads to true infinity, theoretically, it can't be restricted in any situation unless there's another stronger Dao Fruit restraining it.

A villager carrying a hoe walked past Lin Qianxuan, and Lin Qianxuan patted him, asking, "Where is this place?"

"Harvey Village, Qianxuan, you're not thinking of working today? You can't be like this, you're already eighteen, you should work hard, don't just dream about the Kingdom's bounty, the Evil Dragon is very powerful, you're no match for it." The villager earnestly advised Lin Qianxuan.

After speaking, he left on his own.

As if an NPC dialogue had been triggered.

Watching the villager's departing figure, Lin Qianxuan couldn't help but smile.

Harvey Village.

The village where the hero resides.

In this very village, a young man pulled out the Hero's Sword, accepted the Kingdom's bounty, journeyed to the Evil Dragon's lair, and eventually slew the dragon, winning the princess.

"So luck does play a role," Lin Qianxuan murmured.

He roughly understood his identity.

The chosen one, the hero of the story.

He just wasn't sure what Peiya's and their roles were.

But he wasn't too worried.

Peiya possesses a stronger Dao Fruit, generally keeping her safer than him.

"Now comes the question, where is the Hero's Sword?"

The fairy tale didn't describe this in detail, only mentioning that the youth who wanted to save the princess pulled it from somewhere.

"Can't just ask any villager and get the answer, can I?"

With a slightly subtle expression, Lin Qianxuan approached a woman doing laundry, and asked, "Can I ask where the Hero's Sword is?"

"Oh, Qianxuan? Aren't you a bit old to be playing that game? Evan's already gone to work in the city, but you're still so aimless...sigh, hasn't your Hero's Sword always been at the east end of the village, on the stone?"

The woman, full of motherly advice, spoke a long piece before revealing the Hero's Sword's location to Lin Qianxuan.

"So, the Hero's Sword is just a toy?"

Lin Qianxuan expressed his thanks and began heading towards his destination.

The village was that small, just a straight line, so there was no concern about getting lost.

In this kind of fairy tale narrative, things are often very simple.

After walking for a while, Lin Qianxuan saw the large stone at the entrance of the village, as tall as a person.

Inserted into the stone was an iron sword full of rust.

"Well, at least it's better than a wooden stick."

Relatively speaking, at least it was a real sword.

Lin Qianxuan climbed the stone, grabbed the hilt, and began pulling it out with force.

It didn't feel heavy at all—instead, it came out easily as Lin Qianxuan pulled.

Then he casually glanced at the sword's brief description.

That one glance left him speechless.

[Hero's Sword Xiao Ke: A somewhat rusty iron sword. [State Constant] (Note: It was once called the Hero's Sword.)]

So, Xiao Ke became the Hero's Sword?

It even got dragged into this?

With a thought, a light flashed in Lin Qianxuan's palm, granting Xiao Ke the [Speech] attribute.

"Mr. Lin, I turned into something very strange!!"

The sword vibrated with a strange sound.

"Don't get excited, I'll get you out, becoming like this is just temporary," Lin Qianxuan consoled.

Hearing this, Xiao Ke calmed down a bit.

"Xiao Ke, can you observe the outside situation now?" Lin Qianxuan asked.

"Yes, but I can't see far—only within a dozen meters or so," Xiao Ke replied.

So it still has senses?

It seems this isn't complete role-playing.

There will be relative character traits.

"Alright, get ready; we're about to embark on a quest to rescue the princess," Lin Qianxuan said.

Without giving Xiao Ke a chance to argue, Lin Qianxuan stored the iron sword away and returned to the village.

In the tailor's shop, after stating his intention to rescue the princess, he smoothly obtained a set of clothes gifted by the tailor. Then at the blacksmith's shop, he acquired a scabbard.

However, Xiao Ke expressed discomfort, so Lin Qianxuan didn't use the scabbard.

After finishing these tasks, he began his journey towards the Royal City.

In a typical storyline, the hero would obviously take a long time to travel.

But Lin Qianxuan was different.

The light continuously flashed at his feet as he enchanted his shoes repeatedly, adding various attributes.

Once out of the village, countless monsters appeared.

Slimes numerous in the grass, goblins visible along the roadside, wild wolves, and even some bandits blocking the path...

Swoosh~!

Lin Qianxuan sliced through a slime that had split over five times, sarcastically saying, "Just like cockroaches in the sewer, numerous and hard to kill! How do ordinary people live here?"

Despite the sarcasm, Lin Qianxuan didn't avoid them.

Because he discovered that killing monsters could enhance his attributes.

This is a very ordinary rule in this world.

It's simply that putting effort into something will certainly yield rewards, with no upper limit to improvement.

The difference lies only in each one's talent, affecting the speed of improvement.

And Lin Qianxuan's talent was evidently top-notch.

After killing a few monsters, he felt his attributes almost doubled.

Additionally, his combat experience increased out of nowhere.

Even when encountering enemies for the first time, he inexplicably knew their weaknesses.

Using Xiao Ke, the Hero's Sword, to hack these monsters seemed beneficial for it too. Every time it was soaked in monster blood, it felt warm and comfortable.

As night fell, Lin Qianxuan started a fire and began to rest.

Now, he no longer felt completely exhausted.

This body needed rest and couldn't keep moving endlessly.

Of course, Lin Qianxuan could use Dao Fruit to quickly restore his stamina, even achieving perpetual motion.

But for now, he wanted to experience this change; otherwise, this journey would be meaningless.

After instructing Xiao Ke to keep watch, Lin Qianxuan fell asleep just like that.

It had been a long time since he had slept, and he rarefully enjoyed a rest.

Through this sleep, he gained many insights.

It wasn't until dawn that Lin Qianxuan woke up.

Stretching out his hand, a scarlet fishing rod appeared in Lin Qianxuan's palm.

This was another Dao Fruit of his.

At this moment, he could manifest it in this space-time.

Just like the [Artifact] Dao Fruit.

It was never supposed to be restricted.

The only things that could restrict it were the user and more powerfully developed Dao Fruits.

Previously, he couldn't use it due to the suppression from two Enlightened ones, but now he could use it because Lin Qianxuan had gradually comprehended the path to Enlightenment.

As he gradually approached the realm of Enlightenment, the two Enlightened ones couldn't completely suppress him any longer.
