[Amelia POV]
If she had been powerful enough, she would have done everything she could to help Melissia find a way out of her current situation.
Unfortunately...
She wasn't.
"Me... only an Early Saint Rank... Even if I wanted to help, there isn't anything I can do... not with how slowly I'm growing..."
Among everyone she knew from the academy, she was by far the weakest, and there was a reason for that.
Her powers were deeply connected to Fate itself, making her cultivation far more difficult than ordinary cultivators.
Although she didn't suffer from the same limitations Arthur, her grandfather, had once carried, the Fate of the Universe itself had been shattered, and that alone had greatly slowed her growth.
A broken Fate could never return to the way it once was.
It could only slowly adapt to the countless changes brought upon the Universe, rebuilding its own order over time. Unfortunately, ten years was nowhere near enough for such a change to take place.
