Storm of Gods

Chapter 32 The End of the World

“No, Chris and Klee are both very gentle and sensible. Chris can sing, and Klee is a gourmet.” Miss Aries’ voice was full of the joy of sharing.

Li Xin felt his brain was a bit overwhelmed. "Eagles can sing?"

"Hmm, hmm, I really hope I'll have the chance to have her sing for you. I love music and I've learned many instruments. Do you like them?" Miss Aries asked.

"I don't really understand it, but I like listening to it. On a grand scale, music is an indispensable expression of emotions in life, capable of interpreting oneself and comforting others. On a smaller scale, music can bring joy and help one forget troubles," Li Xin said.

“Yes, Mr. Gemini, you’re absolutely right. I can forget my troubles when I’m immersed in music. I especially love the harp and accordion, and I’d like to try something different, something a bit wilder…” Miss Aries loved to chat, but her voice was always calm, elegant and pleasant.

Li Xin felt that the Aries girl was cautious and composed last time, but today she seemed to have accidentally opened up and started talking. It seemed that she was a girl in her rebellious phase. He was tired after a long day and really didn't want to chat with her, not because of the money.

Perhaps it was because their voices were so pleasant to listen to, but the two of them ended up talking about music for quite a while.

Li Xin, who knew a tiny bit and had the advantage of his past life, made up a bunch of random things and felt he should charge a fee for chatting. "Miss Aries, I have a question. You just mentioned that when you were trying to understand the relics, you discovered a connection with the horoscope. What does that mean?"

“My situation is a bit special. My family doesn’t allow me to go to the sacred lands, and I rarely use potions. My mentor said that the essence of divine relics is understanding, and the real answer lies within the divine relics. It may be different from what is commonly said, but my mentor is a very wise person, and it must be that my comprehension is not enough,” Miss Aries said.

Li Xin's heart pounded a few times. "I think it's quite interesting. Could you elaborate if it's convenient?"

“Of course,” Miss Aries found chatting with interesting and knowledgeable people a pleasure. She had learned a lot from Mr. Gemini today. “Potions and sacred sites are both meant to help us recover from the discomfort our bodies experience during the fusion process with divine relics. They are not, in essence, a process of ‘refining’ divine relics. What truly determines the activation of one’s destiny star is understanding the divine relics, whether actively or passively. The part we understand will also extract the power of the divine relics. I think that even with the same divine relic, different people may have different understandings.”

Li Xin perked up. The conversation had been very rewarding. He also felt that controlling divine relics with magic potions or some kind of blessing from a sacred place was too crude, and obtaining divine power was too easy. "In other words, you can only get as much as you understand. What does it feel like to activate a life star?"

Miss Aries thought for a while, "It's amazing. It's a sense of gaining knowledge and power. When it's activated, you will instinctively know it. It's very clear and enlightening."

"Is it necessary to activate the Destiny Star before one can use the power of the divine relic?" Li Xin asked.

“That’s not accurate. Activating your Destiny Star means that your understanding of the divine relic has reached a certain level, and it may be possible to extract its power. This depends on the divine relic. If you don’t activate your Destiny Star, you won’t have any understanding and therefore no power. Moreover, most divine relics are indeed a burden, requiring long-term use of potions to balance them. Mr. Gemini, don’t be too anxious. Activation is a natural process, and I think you can definitely do it,” Miss Aries said gently.

Her voice was very charming. Although it is generally true that people with nice voices are usually not very good-looking, Li Xin believed that the Aries girl under the mist must be very beautiful. Since she came here, she has maintained her composure, so she must have a strict family upbringing.

Before he even activated his Destiny Star, the power of the divine relic couldn't wait to emerge. Could it be a passive talent?
Despite his daily complaints, Li Xin never felt that his dice were useless, whether it was the castle or himself; he just hadn't truly understood them yet.

“Miss Aries, I have a wild thought. Is it possible that divine relics are messages from the gods?” Such opportunities are rare, so Li Xin asked. Without Cancer present, the conversation wasn't as formal. Miss Aries paused slightly, then smiled sweetly, “Mr. Gemini, your thinking is so free-flowing. I haven't considered this approach. I can ask my mentor next time we meet.”

The stars twinkled, and it was time for Li Xin to finally go back to sleep. "Mr. Gemini, you must be a master of music. I hope I will have the opportunity to learn from you again in the future."

Miss Aries had never met such a knowledgeable person. She herself was proficient in seven or eight musical instruments, but she had never heard of most of the dozens that Mr. Gemini mentioned. Indeed, the world is very big and full of talented people.

"Miss Aries, you're welcome. I just have a lot of strange and unusual knowledge. See you next time."

Miss Aries rose and bowed, and Li Xin followed suit. As the dome dissipated, his consciousness returned to his dream.

Li Xin gained a lot this time, further confirming the uniqueness of the dice and finding a "method," which may be a more correct way to use them.

For divine relics, people only want the power and lifespan they bring. The sacred land has always existed, and the magic potion was developed by humans themselves, all for the purpose of making better use of divine relics.

understand……

What were the dice trying to express? Li Xin felt like he had touched a threshold, but it was still a bit uncomfortable because of the thin layer of paper separating them.

In his dream, Li Xin told him that he could go to sleep.

Whew~~Whew~~~Whew~~~
Early Sunday morning, Li Xin was still fast asleep. The conversation had gone on for quite a while. After all, he was just an ordinary young man who wanted to sleep in, but the circumstances didn't allow it. Aunt Fei had dragged him out of bed early in the morning. He was still sleepy-eyed, but after just one glance at Xue Fei's Aunt Bai, he was immediately awake.

After a hearty breakfast, Li Xin was ruthlessly kicked out because the weekend was Black Rose Club activity day. Lin Fei was overjoyed to learn that Li Xin had joined Black Rose and guessed that Luo Jin must have helped him. She told Li Xin that he must work hard, otherwise he would not only lose the opportunity, but also lose face for Luo Jin. Lin Fei knew very well how difficult Black Rose was, and that the Grand Disciplinary Officer must have used his power. If he was eliminated, he should never come home again.

Looking at Aunt Fei, who looks fierce yet has a touch of sexiness, how can she be both sexy and cute in just simple pajamas? I kind of miss the days in the dungeon; the tests of willpower were much less.

Walking down the street, Li Xin hadn't paid much attention to Black Rose before, but now he realized that everyone around him seemed to value it, even Luo Jin felt deep down that the Order Academy was the right path.

Ultimately, the end of any world is a system.
