Luo Furen panicked and scrambled up the stairs. Inattentively, he missed a step, causing his thousands-of-yuan branded leather shoe to fall off. This man, who was usually calm and composed, no longer cared about his shoes. He stumbled continuously upward. Below the stairs, voices echoed incessantly, as if dozens of people were chasing him up the staircase. Luo Furen ran while constantly looking down at the stairs. This was the emergency passage of the building, not a wide corridor but merely for emergency rescue purposes. Normally, people entering or exiting the building used the elevator. However, Luo Furen dared not take the elevator because... because he had failed, and the other party already knew his identity and location. If he dared to stop, the other party would definitely kill him instantly! "I haven't failed! I haven't failed! It's just a little more to find out your identity... Just a little more to know who you are! 'Doctor,' you're the reverse current, Qiong Yao, and I am the forward flow! How could space-time possibly let me fail... I refuse to accept it!" Luo Furen screamed loudly as he ran, his voice echoing throughout the building's passage. The voices from downstairs paused momentarily before becoming even more clamorous.

Thus, Luo Furen seemed tireless as he reached the top floor of the thirty-story building. At the end of the stairs was an iron-locked door. Without hesitation, Luo Furen pulled out his gun from his waist and fired two shots, instantly breaking the lock. Then, he kicked the door open and rushed onto the rooftop like a madman.

"Doctor! I know you're watching me, or perhaps in the future, you will be able to watch me..." Luo Furen shouted loudly upon reaching the rooftop. After shouting these two sentences, he realized how disheveled he was. This handsome young man in his late twenties began to tidy up his appearance. As he smoothed his hair and brushed the dust off his clothes, he noticed that he only had one shoe left. Wrinkling his brow, this man kicked off the remaining shoe. Finally, he said to the void, "I have lost, and I admit my defeat willingly. I never expected you to use such a method to make me appear. Indeed, this is my only weakness, and you have grasped it. So, I admit my defeat willingly... But I refuse to accept this outcome! You are clearly the reverse current, so why has space-time allowed me to lose? I refuse to accept it!"

"So... This can only mean one thing: I am not the person destined by space-time to defeat you. The one or group of people destined to smooth out the ripples in space-time is not me!" When Luo Furen spoke here, he slowly took out half a newspaper from his pocket, which included both sides of two pages. The edges of this newspaper were torn, indicating that there was another half.

"Don't you want it?" Luo Furen laughed loudly while holding the half newspaper. "If you get it, you'll have all four pages. Then, there will be no force in this world that can restrict your power, and the force to smooth out the ripples in space-time will also be useless. Tell me, don't you really want it? Hahaha..."

As he spoke, Luo Furen suddenly grabbed the newspaper and tore it twice, splitting the half-newspaper with two pages into four parts. Each part contained a quarter of the front and back pages, i.e., together forming half a page. After doing this, Luo Furen held the four pieces of newspaper in his hand and said, "Human desires are truly disgusting things... Doctor, free novels, do you know? This thing has given me everything, but it also destroyed my world. If... If the person who originally got it wasn't me, perhaps I could still be quietly with her..."

As he spoke, Luo Furen had already walked to the edge of the rooftop. He held the four pieces of newspaper tightly in his hand and then extended his palm outward. Once he opened his palm, the four pieces of newspaper would fly away. Since this was the high-altitude of dozens of floors, once the four pieces of newspaper flew away, no one would be able to find them again.

"Doctor, now the force of the space-time forward flow is still protecting me, but once I let go, the force of the space-time forward flow will leave with it... I have already lost, so nothing matters anymore. But Doctor, this time your opponent was just me alone; next time, your opponent might be four people... Hahaha..."

Luo Furen slowly loosened his hand, and the newspaper fragments in the center of his palm were blown away by the wind. These four fragments, each containing only half a page, disappeared into the night with the breeze until Luo Furen could no longer see them. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck Luo Furen on the forehead, and his vision turned pitch black...

Memories of past events replayed in Luo Furen's consciousness, showing his life trajectory from childhood to adulthood over more than two decades. He was a child from the countryside, whose father was the offspring of a business family, a typical second-generation rich kid. After committing offenses in the city, he fled to the countryside and hid for two years. During these two years, his father, with his handsome looks and fashionable attire, pursued the most beautiful girl in the village. However, his father was an inhumane man. After impregnating the girl, he left without a trace when the two years were up, leaving only a name behind. The girl went to the city a few times to look for him, but how could a rural girl find this playboy? Eventually, she gave birth to Luo Furen in tears at home...

Luo Furen was born in such an environment. No one in his family liked him, including his mother. Because he was a burden, his mother married a thirty-something vagrant from the village. Thus, his childhood was spent being humiliated and abused. Until he was five years old and his arm was broken, his naturally intelligent mind realized that staying there any longer would certainly lead to death. So, at the age of five, he joined a group of street children and climbed onto a train heading south. He arrived in Shenzhen...

The life of a street child was filled with bitterness and pain. Relying on his clever mind, flexible means, and good looks, by the time he was twelve or thirteen, Luo Furen had become a small leader among the street children. Although he was still controlled by some big thugs and had to go out as a pickpocket every day, he secretly saved a sum of money. At the age of fifteen, Luo Furen seized an opportunity to steal a large sum of money from the big thugs. He immediately left Shenzhen and settled in a small town in the south. This money was protection fees paid by the big thugs to higher-level triads, amounting to more than 300,000 yuan. Adding his own savings of several ten thousand yuan, he rented a very simple single room in the small town. Living frugally, he spent less than 800 yuan per month. The rest of the money, Luo Furen used to buy books - textbooks starting from elementary school, various kinds of knowledge books, and many extracurricular knowledge or social information, etc. Having never been to school, Luo Furen began to self-study knowledge in this simple little house, studying for five years...

In five years, Luo Furen started learning characters and eventually mastered university doctoral examination knowledge. He had completely grasped all this knowledge in his mind. He finally realized that he was the genius described in the books, and without even needing to test his IQ, he knew his IQ was at least 180 or more. He was a genius...

"Nature gives birth to talent for a purpose! I survived countless hardships since childhood, and heaven must be destined to let me achieve great undertakings. Yes, I am the person recognized by heaven, the kind mentioned in historical ancient books... The heavenly mandate bearer, I am a person with a heavenly mandate!"

At this moment, Luo Furen firmly believed in his life's mission. He was born to create miracles, and his existence was destiny! Although it sounds absurd, Luo Furen indeed believed it. He left the small town with the more than 100,000 yuan he still had and came to another bustling seaside town. Besides packaging himself, he bribed several tax officials in the town. Then, he claimed to be the son of a director of a large company, coming to this town to conduct business negotiations. With his clever arrangements and financial incentives, he quickly gained the trust of several local medium-sized companies, defrauding millions of funds. Luo Furen then fled far away. After spending more than 200,000 yuan in bribes, he smoothly arrived in Hong Kong from mainland China...

It must be admitted that Luo Furen was truly a genius. In the five years of his self-study, law, taxation, finance, and other knowledge were thoroughly mastered by him. And Luo Furen, who firmly believed he was a person with a heavenly mandate, was not worried at all about failure or arrest. Boldly, with more than a million yuan as backing, he succeeded repeatedly in fraud in Hong Kong. Moreover, he adopted the method of borrowing chickens to lay eggs. The money obtained from fraud was used to defraud others, and the business partners defrauded were used as proof to defraud other business partners. Rolling snowballs like this, when his funds reached tens of millions, he quietly left Hong Kong. Several months later, the major fraud case in Hong Kong erupted...

At this time, Luo Furen was twenty-seven years old. In just seven short years, he became a millionaire, but he was still unsatisfied. He thought the preparatory work was sufficient, and it was time to start what he called the Heavenly Mandate Bearer Plan. So he came to Shanghai, attempting to begin his commercial empire legend centered here, no longer engaging in fraud, no longer accumulating funds, but instead embarking on a grand undertaking...

But at this time, half a newspaper with two pages changed him...

Luo Furen unintentionally obtained this half-newspaper. Initially, he did not know the power of this newspaper. If not for an accident, these two newspapers might have already been thrown into the trash can. However, during an accident, he suddenly discovered that the date on the newspaper was incorrect. Yes, the newspaper showed a date from the future!

Luo Furen finally became interested in this newspaper. After carefully studying the secrets of this newspaper, he indeed found its uniqueness. The events displayed on it were information from the day after tomorrow, and with the change of the holder's intention, this newspaper could display information up to seven days into the future, i.e., all the information within the next week. In other words, possessing this newspaper meant that the holder had the ability to perfectly predict the future, a perfect prediction of the next seven days...

Luo Furen was ecstatic. He believed this was a powerful tool given by heaven to him, the heavenly mandate bearer, allowing him to change the world, change the whole world...

He suddenly wanted to be an emperor. As long as he had this thing in his hands, with the ability to perfectly predict the future, he would be the emperor of the future world, the god of the future world! However, soon afterward, he discovered that this newspaper was not something from this world, or rather, it was not something from this era. It belonged to the future, belonging to someone who returned from the future, or someone from another dimension, and the secrets of this newspaper were much more numerous than he knew...

However, by the time he realized this, it was already too late, too late...

(Am I dying? Am I dying? It's so dark, I can't see anything anymore. Can Doctor control the weather? I wonder if my newspaper can... Damn it, I've failed, I've failed...")

Luo Furen, his body scorched black, lay on the rooftop, silently gazing at the sky. His eyes remained wide open. He died with un-closed eyes! And the four pieces of newspaper fragments continued to drift in the night air, sinking and floating, unknowingly flying towards an unknown future...
