As a player, and an alien in the eyes of the native inhabitants of 'Tian Dao', Ye Yun also really wanted to know why these natives could not glimpse his future.
Within the two blue lights, the stars shifted, and amidst countless darkness, there were full of blue light rays.
"There is an eye in the sky, and the roads on the ground are endless. Your intentions, old man, I cannot see clearly. The people of the hermit families are indeed extraordinary." Suddenly, the two blue lights disappeared, and the runes instantly turned dim and lusterless. As the smoke dissipated, the diviner revealed his true appearance.
"You are human?" Ye Yun asked, looking at the person in front of him, unable to help himself. Who would have thought that the diviner in the renowned Nine Heavens Tower of Wen Tian Pavilion was actually a human! It was just that this thin, small human looked unwell, appearing extremely aged, his white hair like withered wood that had dried for thousands of years, and his face, full of wrinkles, displayed an undue sense of vicissitude.
"Cough, cough... Young friend, you jest! I cannot calculate your fate. I shall now invite our Ancestral Diviner to perform the divination." The diviner smiled bitterly at Ye Yun and shook his head.
Ancestral Diviner?
Ye Yun's heart stirred.
"Our Wen Tian Pavilion has a rule: whenever a guest arrives, if our diviners cannot calculate even a little about the guest, a diviner of a higher rank will continue to divine for him. As for the fees, honored guest, rest assured, everything will be charged at the original price."
As the diviner spoke, he gently tapped the ground he was sitting on, and instantly, countless starlight rose, forming a small teleportation array. The aged diviner remained seated, his entire body prostrate forward.
"Welcome, my Ancestor."
Immediately, an elder in white robes and white hair appeared before Ye Yun and the others. However, his celestial demeanor was completely ruined by the wooden wheelchair he was sitting in.
"Marquis... I, I am leaving." The original diviner looked at the old man appearing in the wheelchair, tears welling up in his eyes but not falling, his gaze filled with dejection and reluctance.
"Go, and in the next life, do not be human. It is too tiring." The old man looked at the old man prostrating on the ground, then turned his gaze to Ye Yun. With just that glance, Ye Yun felt as if he had fallen into countless vortices, and then a colossal dark shadow appeared before him.
"I am a person of the future, yet the future has not yet arrived for me. Since you have seen the future, why do you not kneel!"
Deafening, reaching the depths of the soul!
"Scram!"
Ye Yun let out a furious roar, and the colossal dark shadow, before it could even reveal its full form, collapsed with a bang.
Pfft...
The old man in the wheelchair, as the dark shadow shattered, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, suffering a severe backlash, and instantly became listless.
"Ancestor..." The previous diviner, still seated, looked at the old man spitting blood and became flustered.
"In the end, heavenly secrets are irreversible. It seems I too must depart. What a pity for the accumulation of my kin over countless years. It is perhaps for the best to depart and escape this sea of suffering." At this moment, his eyes looked at Ye Yun, and a kind smile actually appeared on his face.
"It has been a long time since I have seen a descendant of our human race. I did not expect to see the appearance our kin once had before I leave. Young brother, I must thank you." Looking at Ye Yun, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Human race? You say you are all human?" Ye Yun was startled. Damn it, this mission required him to kill his own kin? And this old geezer was also deducing the coordinates of the universe where humans survived?
"Heh heh, yes. I was once Li Jin, the War Marquis of Fengle Divine City. In the 2022nd Epoch of the Divine Calendar, the Immortal and Divine Divine Cities, along with their hundred vassal races, waged a divine war against our Divine City. Our Divine City's army suffered heavy casualties. In our hour of crisis, I was ordered by Marshal Wang Jing to lead an army of ten million warriors to secretly leave and strike directly at the Immortal City."
"Besiege Wei to save Zhao?" Ye Yun mumbled, but these four words caused the originally scattered pupils of Li Jin to burst forth with soul-stirring brilliance.
"However, the location of each Divine City is extremely secret. By the time we found it, Fengle City had already been broken. After our army broke into the eastern region of the Immortal City, we were soon surrounded by the returning army. For the lives of millions of soldiers, I eventually ordered a surrender."
"Cultivating immortal arts, cultivating immortal hearts. It washed away the human aura, and thus we entered the Immortal race. But ultimately, the heart's desire is difficult to change!"
Listening to Li Jin's description, Ye Yun's mind was filled with myriad thoughts.
"Having refined immortal laws, cultivated an immortal heart, and been registered in the immortal lineage, through the evolution of the river of history, you have ultimately become humans who are no longer human." Ye Yun looked up, gazing at the aged face, sighing with emotion.
A faint protective barrier enveloped the two. Da Tian Liang and Le Shan stood at the top of the stairs, watching the two converse, yet unable to hear any sound.
"Even so, it is for the sake of survival."
"So Ye Yun, out of tens of millions, became less than a thousand people today? And for the sake of the lives of these remaining thousand, you disregard the countless former kin of the human race and help the Immortal race deduce the location of Fengle Divine City?" Ye Yun sneered. He knew the old man in front of him already knew his identity, so he no longer concealed it.
"Billions of our kin? Our human race still has a foundation?" Li Jin's eyes suddenly burst with disbelief.
"Otherwise? Why do you think they are asking you to deduce the location of Fengle Divine City?" Ye Yun stood up, drew the King's Sword in his hand, and pointed it at Li Jin. By now, Ye Yun had a rough understanding of the situation of the Immortal race's Royal Family.
"Now, hand over the Celestial Divination Ancient Coin! In consideration of your former identity as a human, I can give you a quick death!"
"I don't have it. I deduced the location of the Divine City because of my inner obsession!" Li Jin said excitedly upon hearing Ye Yun's words.
"Don't have it? Hah, my Divine City is slowly reviving in my hands, and the human race will regain its glory in my hands. My talent has already reached max8! Do you think those Immortal race members will not respond to your every move? What is your identity now? You are merely a tool for making money!" Towards this former ancestor of the human race, Ye Yun had absolutely no respect.
If ten million of their kin could have fought, the escapees would not have been reduced to a thousand, would they? Yet this fellow, under the banner of righteousness, thought he could eke out a living, but what was the result? The enemy merely spent a little more time and devoured them, and the remaining ones became their tools for making money!
Celestial Divination! What a glorious profession humanity once had, now reduced to a tool for the Immortal race to deal with humans.
"I..." Li Jin wanted to retort but ultimately did not speak. The previous diviner looked at Ye Yun with a complex expression.
A talent of max8, what an astonishingly brilliant person that was! It was a pity that he was no longer human.
"Now, hand over the Celestial Divination Ancient Coin. I don't want to say it a second time!" Ye Yun raised his long sword, his eyes looking at Li Jin with indifference. Having experienced his previous life and countless killings within the game, Ye Yun's reverence for life had become indifferent.
"You wish! I tell you! I have already notified the lords of Tianchuan Prefecture. Marquis, according to the rules of Tianchuan Prefecture, we should die. But as long as we capture this person, with his talent, we can completely atone for our sins." The diviner remained seated cross-legged, but his entire body was no longer hunched. Instead, there was a hint of arrogance.
