Lu Yin leapt up and arrived in front of Starsibyl. The two were now less than two meters apart. "Anyone would think that. Is this what you've divined?"
"You're rejecting me." Starsibyl smiled.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. He had always rejected this so-called divination, and he had never believed in it. He had subconsciously shown it. "No, I'm just asking."
Starsibyl stared into Lu Yin's eyes. "I'm here because I have a question for you."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. He had heard that Starsibyl, who was a Star Explorer, had sent out invitations throughout the universe, and she had asked all the young elites of the universe a question. He had never thought that she would come knocking on his door one day. "What is it?"
Starsibyl was about to speak when Lu Yin suddenly said, "Hold on, where's the invitation?"
The smile in Starsibyl's eyes grew even wider. "Although you reject divination, it's not like you can't accept it. I'm very happy." She then took out a very ordinary invitation letter and handed it over to him. The words "Starsibyl" were engraved on the letter, and it was very beautiful. Even though it had been written by a woman, it carried a boundless and unadorned aura, as well as an indescribable spirit.
Lu Yin carefully examined the invitation. This was an invitation from the famous Starsibyl, and it was said that only young elites who had reached a certain level could receive one. He had heard that only a few people in the entire Astral Combat Academy had received an invitation from Starsibyl, and not even the student leaders of the various academies had received one.
After looking at it for a while, Lu Yin returned the invitation to Starsibyl.
Starsibyl said, "Take it. It might be useful in the future. With this, you can receive a certain amount of help from the Starsibyl Sect."
Lu Yin did not refuse. As long as it was something that was given to him for free and harmless, he would not reject it. After all, it did not take up much space. As for the Starsibyl Sect's help, he did not take it to heart.
"You can ask now," Lu Yin said.
Starsibyl's eyes were deep as she looked at Lu Yin. It was as if a part of the starry sky was about to suck in his gaze. "How can I become stronger?"
Lu Yin was stunned and thought that he had misheard. "What did you say?"
Starsibyl's expression grew serious as she repeated herself. "How can I become stronger?"
Lu Yin blinked. "You're asking me this?
It seems like you're stronger than me. "
Starsibyl was from the same generation as the Ten Arbiters, but she was not included in the Top 100 Rankings. This was not to say that her power level was not up to par, but rather that no one knew Starsibyl's true power level, so there was no way to rank her. However, many people said that her power was not inferior to the top ten of the Top 100 Rankings, and Lu Yin admitted that he was no match for her.
"You only need to answer me. How can you become stronger?" Starsibyl asked solemnly, looking very serious.
"Don't spout nonsense, Seventh Bro. This woman is trying to figure out the direction of your cultivation and your spirit. She's using this to calculate your future accomplishments. People who can make such calculations are very terrifying, as they can use even a few words to their advantage."
Lu Yin frowned, as the monkey's words made his hair stand on end. It couldn't be that mystical, right? It was just a sentence, and it wasn't like Lu Yin couldn't lie. Besides, he really didn't believe in divination.
Of course, even if he didn't believe in divination, he would not confide in Starsibyl. Only a fool would speak the truth.
Lu Yin glanced at Starsibyl and thought for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, she suddenly said, "Brother Lu, think carefully before you speak. This is not a question I want to ask, but rather the sect master of the Starsibyl Sect. Based on your answer, the Starsibyl Sect's attitude towards you will change."
Lu Yin raised his brows. "What? Will the Starsibyl Sect still hunt me down if my answer is not good enough?"
Starsibyl's expression turned solemn. "Of course not. However, you know the Ten Arbiters' Scholar Wen Sansi, and his answer satisfied the sect master. Thus, the Starsibyl Sect has opened its doors to him, and he can use the Starsibyl Sect's divination abilities. You're a smart person, so you should know what it means for the Starsibyl Sect to open its doors to someone."
Lu Yin's expression turned serious. The Starsibyl Sect was a mysterious sect, and no one knew how powerful it was. It had existed since ancient times, and it seemed that everyone trusted the sect's divination abilities. Even the Top 100 Rankings were said to be set by the Astral Combat Academy, but in reality, there were rumors that the Starsibyl Sect was the one behind it. Only the Starsibyl Sect had the ability to divine the entire universe, including the top 100.
The Starsibyl Sect was a sect that everyone trusted and could divine the future, but it was not coveted by the Daynight clan or the Sword Sect. Just this point alone was enough to prove how terrifying it was.
If he could obtain the Starsibyl Sect's help, then his influence would be much greater than if he became the Sea King's son-in-law. Although the Sea King was powerful, he was the master of the Starfall Sea. The Innerverse and Outerverse did not dare to provoke him, but they still feared him. On the other hand, the Starsibyl Sect had the ability to influence the entire universe.
Regardless of whether Lu Yin believed it or not, as long as others believed it, then the so-called divination would be valid.
It had to be said that Starsibyl's words had moved Lu Yin's heart. He looked at her seriously and considered her question.
"Seventh Bro, if you can obtain the Starsibyl Sect's help, then you'll be awesome. The Starsibyl Sect is as famous as the Astral Beast Domain's Skymender, and they're an existence that makes people feel helpless. However, your answer might become one of the bargaining chips that the Starsibyl Sect uses to divine your future. Think carefully," the monkey said.
Lu Yin's eyes flickered, and he turned to look at the waterfall.
Starsibyl was not in a hurry. Aside from a few people, everyone else would seriously consider his question, and some would even take a long time to think about it. After all, the Starsibyl Sect was too important, and many people had the same dream: to obtain her.
Whoever obtained Starsibyl would obtain the future. It was unknown who had spread this saying, but many people believed it. Thus, many people tried to think of ways to make bold claims in an attempt to capture Starsibyl's heart.
The sound of the waterfall's water was very loud, and it was accompanied by the falling rocks. Water droplets splashed onto Lu Yin's face, and he felt a little cold.
He raised his head and looked up at the sky. Strong. This word encompassed the entire universe. Everyone wanted to become strong, but how?
Some people were born with limitless resources, while others had no resources at all, but they had endless opportunities. There were also people who cultivated diligently. There were countless people in the universe who pursued strength.
He thought back to the Explorer who had knelt before Gu Er on the Astral River Ark. That Explorer had gone to the Innerverse to become stronger and had not hesitated to sacrifice his dignity.
He thought back to the Explorers who had died in the centipede's body. They had all taken risks to become stronger.
He thought back to his seniors, Big Pao and Little Pao. They wanted revenge, so they had gone to the Astral Combat Academy to become stronger.
He thought back to many people. Although he had not cultivated for long, he had encountered many things along the way. In summary, everyone was sacrificing something to become stronger, and he was no different.
Before he had started cultivating, he had not placed much importance on money, but now, he was thinking of ways to earn money.
These were all sacrifices. So, how could he become stronger?
Sacrifice himself?
Even he himself was at a loss.
The monkey had said that Starsibyl could use this answer to divine a person's spirit and future, but a person's spirit was not predetermined. Since ancient times, dynasties had changed, and the last emperor might not have been a descendant of an aristocratic family, but he might have been a beggar. It was impossible to predict a person's future based on a single answer.
However, if Starsibyl could really divine his future based on a single answer, then Lu Yin was looking forward to it. This was because his answer was rather unique.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Yin turned to look at Starsibyl. "Can you tell me how the others answered?"
"Who do you want to know?"
Starsibyl did not refuse. Answers could be the same or different. If this man really did copy someone else's answer, then his future would be forever under that person's control.
"Wen Sansi," Lu Yin said.
Starsibyl smiled. "Read more, and you can become stronger."
Lu Yin was not surprised, as this was Wen Sansi's answer.
"What about Nightking Zhenwu?" Lu Yin asked.
Starsibyl's eyes flashed. "He doesn't need to become stronger because everyone is destined to be weaker than him."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "Those were his exact words?"
Starsibyl nodded.
Lu Yin frowned. How bold. Should he say, "As expected of one of the Ten Arbiters, Zhenwu?"
"What about Lan Si?" Lu Yin asked again.
Starsibyl replied, "One step at a time."
This was the most standard answer, and there was nothing special about it. However, it also reflected the strength of his heart, as he did not need to think about how to become stronger. He only needed to take one step at a time, and he would naturally become the strongest.
Lu Yin had only asked about the Ten Arbiters, and he only knew the names of these three. Finally, he looked at Starsibyl seriously. "I want to know your answer."
Starsibyl smiled, and her eyes were deep and bottomless. "I don't need to answer because I have no plans to become stronger."
Lu Yin retracted his gaze and looked up at the sky above the Sea King's Dome. Finally, he solemnly looked at Starsibyl. "Listen well, my answer is —" At this point, Hai Dashao appeared not too far away and stared at Lu Yin. Lu Yin did not know that the Sea King was also staring at him from the void. Starsibyl had asked this question to too many people, and it had to be said that the answer could indeed reflect a person's boldness. Boldness determined the future and the situation.
"My answer is to earn more money, and I can become stronger." Lu Yin's answer was very serious and sincere, but his answer clearly stunned Starsibyl. Was there a connection between strength and money?
One was cultivation, which was the highest goal in life, while the other was vulgar money.
Cultivation required resources, but no one would admit that they cultivated for the sake of resources. Such people were known as vulgar.
Hai Dashao casually waved his hand. "I'm just a commoner." He then left with an ugly expression.
The Sea King retracted his gaze and did not say anything.
Starsibyl smiled. "Brother Lu's answer is really unexpected. Are you serious?"
"Very serious," Lu Yin replied. He had never been as serious as he was at this moment, and he had fully displayed his obsession with money in front of Starsibyl. This was a fact; the more money he had, the stronger he would become. To him, this was true. If he was given all of the Mavis family's wealth, Lu Yin dared to say that he could use his die's third Possession to upgrade certain things to the point that even the Sea King would doubt his own existence.
With money, he could upgrade his formcast model, and with money, he could upgrade all sorts of natural treasures. With money, he even wondered if he could throw himself up and upgrade himself. In short, as long as he had money, he would have limitless possibilities. He was serious, and that was his answer.
