Just as Lu Yin was about to say something, the wireless Gu vibrated. He glanced at it and was astonished.
"Senior, please enlighten them," Lu Yin said to the Mist Ancestor and then walked to the side to connect to the wireless Gu.
On the other side, the Mist Ancestor looked at the mentors, "Kids, aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill?"
…
"Lu Daozi, what did you just do?"
Destiny's Daughter asked directly after contacting Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed; she could sense that he had triggered fate?
No way! Last time, when he had triggered fate, Xuan Jiu and the others had vomited blood. Xuan Jiu had guessed that he had triggered fate, so it wasn't strange that she could guess it as well. No, Xuan Jiu guessed it because he had the most Fatesand at that time, so it was more of a guess than a confirmation that he had triggered fate.
"Nothing, just drinking tea," Lu Yin replied.
Destiny's Daughter fell silent for a moment before replying, "I saw it."
Lu Yin raised his brows, "Saw what?"
"I saw you trigger fate through the Xuantian Mirror," she replied.
Lu Yin didn't believe her, "You can see me through the Xuantian Mirror?
Are you kidding me? Does that mean you can monitor everyone? "
Destiny's Daughter replied, "The Xuantian Mirror can't see you, but it can sense fate. Just now, the Xuantian Mirror sensed fate being triggered, and your image appeared in my mind. You must have triggered fate, so there's no need to deny it."
Lu Yin thought about it for a moment before replying, "Alright. So what if I've triggered fate?"
"Aren't you unwilling to interact with fate?"
Destiny's Daughter was curious.
Lu Yin was helpless, "I want to divine a word, a person, or an item, so I can only try to trigger fate."
Destiny's Daughter replied, "That's useless. I don't know how you triggered fate, but doing so will only attract fate's attention and cause a backlash. It's not beneficial to divination, so it's best not to try again. Otherwise, if you really do trigger fate, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Lu Yin laughed, "You're Destiny's Disciple, so you should be happy that you managed to trigger fate. Why does it seem like you don't want fate to appear?"
"Because I want to break through to Ancestral Ascension. I am the new fate," Destiny's Daughter replied decisively.
There was no one who didn't want to break through to the Ancestor Realm. If one's cultivation was too low, they wouldn't dare to think about it. Once one's cultivation was high enough, the desire to break through to the Ancestor Realm would appear, and it would become even more intense. This was especially so when one reached the level of the twelve Heavenly Gates Sect Leaders. It was almost certain that one would be able to break through to the Ancestor Realm.
Hen Xin wanted to break through the ancestral barrier and become the master of this era.
Jueyi desired to break through the ancestor realm and become the Death God.
The Lady of Fate naturally wanted to break through the Ancestral Gate and become the new Destiny.
If that was the case, then things would be much easier. Lu Yin thought about it for a moment before replying, "I don't care what you think. I need to divine every word, person, or item. Otherwise, I'll just have to constantly try to influence fate. Since normal methods won't work, then I'll have to break the rules. If you don't believe that there's no other way."
"Aren't you afraid that fate will appear and become the ruler of this era?"
Fate Maiden replied.
Lu Yin laughed. "It's a good thing for humanity. Fate is one of the Six Daos of the Three Realms. Once it appears, it'll be able to guide humanity. I'm willing."
The Lady of Fate didn't reply immediately. No one knew what she was thinking.
The longer she thought about it, the more certain he was that his plan would succeed.
The last time he had tried to influence fate, Xuan Jiu had coughed up blood, and he believed that anyone related to fate was unlucky.
Xuan Jiu had probably coughed up blood as well, and it had been quite severe. Otherwise, he wouldn't have revealed his ambition to replace fate. She would have done everything she could to prevent him from influencing fate again.
The more she didn't want to influence fate, the greater the threat he would pose to her.
This was interesting.
"What do you want to divine?"
The Lady of Fate finally replied after a long pause. Back in the Above Heaven Sect, she had been a disciple of fate and had never faced any setbacks from the start of her cultivation until she became the Sect Master of Elysium. Everyone treated her with respect, and no one dared to offend her. At the same time, the geniuses of this era had all dimmed, and she had been the most dazzling star of the Above Heaven Sect.
However, in this era, she was being threatened by Lu Yin. She had only felt this way when she had learned that Lu Buzheng had stolen the power of fate and cultivated the ancestral qi of the three suns. The Eternals were her mortal enemies, and she had only felt hostility from them.
She was actually being threatened. Lu Yin and Lu Buzheng were both members of the Lu family.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "You're willing to perform a divination for me?"
"I can try," the Lady of Fate replied. She didn't want to either. At Lu Yin's level, divination would definitely not be simple, but there was no other way. It was better than Lu Yin continuously trying to influence fate and causing her to cough up blood. It was fine for now, but if Lu Yin tried to influence fate while she was breaking through, that would be terrible.
Suddenly, she realized that she was really being held by the throat.
"Alright, let's start with the words. I want you to divine Zhuo," Lu Yin replied. Twenty years ago, the Eternals had used liquid to devour the Astral Source Universe. At that time, Lu Yin had guessed that it was Zhuo's plan, but he still wasn't sure. If it was Zhuo's plan, then there wouldn't be any problems with this divination. If it wasn't, then it meant that Zhuo's plan had yet to begin.
In the Outerverse, the Lady of Fate was at the center of an asteroid belt that resembled a minor world. The center of the asteroid belt was filled with planets. Some of these planets were in a barbaric era, where they fought against wild beasts and worshipped the heavens. Others were in an era of cold weapons, where they were divided into countries and didn't cultivate. Some planets had advanced to the point where they could even step out of their planet.
The Lady of Fate often observed the development of the humans on these planets and used this to deduce the cultivation of divination.
At this moment, the Lady of Fate saw Lu Yin's reply and spoke from within the white clouds. "He wants me to divine a word — Zhuo."
"No." Starsibyl was shocked. "Lu Yin once asked my Starsibyl Sect to perform a divination, but it caused my master Mister Zhu's body to crack open and he died from his injuries. This word can't be used."
The Lady of Fate replied, "Change the word."
Lu Yin sneered and directly replied, "Just this word. It can't be used. I'll think of something myself."
"You once asked the Starsibyl Sect to perform a divination, and the sect master died because of this word. What does this word represent?"
The Lady of Fate asked.
Lu Yin was shocked. "Mister Zhu died?"
"That's right. Starsibyl said that because of this word, his body cracked open and he died from his injuries," the Lady of Fate replied.
Lu Yin's expression turned ugly, as he had never thought that Mister Zhu would actually die. No wonder why he had not seen him all this time. He had thought that Mister Zhu had relied on the Lady of Fate just like Starsibyl, and that he could look for the Lady of Fate if he needed help. He had never thought that Mister Zhu would actually die.
"When?"
Lu Yin asked.
The Lady of Fate looked at Starsibyl. She did not know when Mister Zhu had died, as she had never seen this person before.
When she had first found the Starsibyl Sect, Starsibyl had been the only one left.
Starsibyl replied.
"Before the Astral Source Universe was devoured."
The Lady of Fate replied to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin shook his head, feeling apologetic towards the Starsibyl Sect and Mister Zhu.
Although he had not interacted much with Mister Zhu, this person had helped him in the past. He had never thought that Mister Zhu would die because of this word.
From the looks of it, Xuan Jiu's reaction was quite fast, as he had only been severely injured during the divination. Xuan Jiu's divination skills might not have been as good as Mister Zhu's, and he had managed to escape with his life.
"I don't know how to divine this word," the Lady of Fate replied once more.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. "You're a Half-Progenitor, and Mister Zhu is far from your level. Either you divine it, or I'll activate my own destiny."
"Lu Daozi, what exactly does this word mean?
Where did you learn it from?
You must explain it to me clearly, "the Lady of Fate replied.
Lu Yin was resolute. "Either I divine it, or I'll activate my own destiny. That's it."
On the other side, the Lady of Fate felt that Lu Yin was even more hateful than Lu Buzheng. "Just you wait." She then looked at Starsibyl. "Let's work together for the divination. The Mysterious Sky Mirror doesn't ask about cultivation, but only innate gifts. You can work together with me to cultivate the Mysterious Sky Mirror."
Starsibyl was helpless. To the outside world, the Starsibyl Sect claimed that Xuan Jiu was the only person who had successfully cultivated the Mysterious Sky Mirror. In reality, both Mister Zhu and Starsibyl had cultivated the Mysterious Sky Mirror. However, they had not cultivated the Mysterious Sky Mirror, but rather the Starsibyl Mirror, which had evolved from the Mysterious Sky Mirror.
They could fool others, but they could not fool the Lady of Fate.
"You really want to divine it?
This word isn't simple at all. "Starsibyl hesitated.
The Lady of Fate put away the wireless gu. "Let's give it a try. If we don't, he won't give up."
Starsibyl was helpless. She also understood Lu Yin. He was a very stubborn person, but he also had many opportunities and was always able to come into contact with extraordinary things. Every time he asked the Starsibyl Sect for a divination, the results would always be extraordinary. The further they went, the more troublesome it would become. Starsibyl could not refuse, and she had no choice but to come into contact with Lu Yin.
In outer space, meteorites were arranged under the Lady of Fate's control, forming a hundred and eight rings that circled around her and Starsibyl.
The white clouds dissipated, revealing the Lady of Fate's true appearance. Her eyes sparkled, and beside her, Starsibyl's eyes were similarly deep, but they shone as brightly as day. The two looked at each other at the same time, and a formless fluctuation distorted space, causing the surrounding meteorites to tremble. A word appeared in the void — Turbid.
In the next instant, the meteorites all exploded, and Starsibyl spat out a mouthful of blood. She retreated several steps and could not stand steadily. The Lady of Fate's eyes widened, and she waved her hand to disperse all of the meteorite fragments, causing them to scatter in all directions in the Outerverse.
Many planets were destroyed by the meteorites, and even planets with powerful technological weapons were unable to react in time to the sudden appearance of the meteorites. They did not even have time to detect the meteorites before they were pierced through.
Countless people had died from this wave of meteorites.
In divination, if there was a cause, there would be an effect. The greater the cause, the greater the effect. The Fate Maiden and Starsibyl would not bear the brunt of this effect. Instead, this effect would be transferred out through the meteorite, and those who had died would bear the brunt of this effect.
Mister Zhu had divined death because he had not transferred the effect, but the Lady of Fate was different. This was what fate had taught her. Since she was divining, she was stealing clues from the river of time, which could easily lead to a backlash. This was the only way to protect herself.
The Lady of Fate panted heavily and had a shocked expression. She had just seen a person. Was it him?
"What did you see?"
The Lady of Fate asked Starsibyl.
