Xing Tie: After the simulation, they all wanted to lock me up in a dark room.

Soon, you and Xilian found the oracle cards in the labyrinthine maze. However, the village in the maze suddenly announced that a great calamity was about to befall the outside world. Upon hearing this, you became somewhat silent, sensing that something bad was about to happen. Seeing this, Xilian took your hand and gently comforted you. The village suggested divining your fate, and then they began divining the oracle cards.

"But what if the divination results are not satisfactory?" Bai E asked worriedly as he prepared to use the oracle cards.

"Then why not just break it and turn it into the result you want?" Chen Yue replied, "That's what they call defying fate and human determination conquering nature in the stories."

Upon hearing Chen Yue's words, Bai E's eyes widened. "There's such a thing?"

"That's my answer. If we don't like the result, we'll try our best to make it the way we like it." Chen Yue placed her hand on her chest.

"Little Yue is right~" Xi Lian winked at Chen Yue, "Only sincere inquiries will receive an equal response."

"Come, close your eyes and gently open the oracle book. Let your thoughts flow like stars floating on a river, and with the help of fireflies and a gentle breeze, your destinies will also flow toward the same future..."

"Now, shall we draw a card?"

"Ah Yue, do you want to draw together?" Bai E said. "I think it's the fairest way to draw, since the first person to draw has more choices, and the last person has fewer choices."

"Since you're willing, then let's do it together." Chen Yue said, then changed the subject, "Xi Lian, to prevent any problems with the cards..."

"I need to have my license checked."

Chen Yue then examined the oracle tablet and said, "There's nothing wrong with the tablet."

The two then began drawing cards. After drawing their cards, Bai Er looked at the Savior card in his hand and smiled.

Then he said to Chen Yue, "Yue, how about we compare our cards to see who has the highest score?"

Bai E had always been dissatisfied with never having beaten Chen Yue, and this time he was determined to win against Chen Yue, since the Savior card was the highest among the Oracle cards.

Upon hearing Bai E's words, Chen Yue paused for a moment, then looked at the card in her hand: Savior.

This kid's gone mad, daring to compare cards with me. Doesn't he know I've already drawn the Savior card?

Although Bai E had such good luck before, always managing to draw the winning number, now that it's my turn, I should just admit defeat.

"Okay." Chen Yue's face was full of a confident smile. This time, Bai E was probably going to lose again.

"Come on, Yue, you go first," Bai E said, then looked at the cards in his hand, becoming even more confident.

"Bai'er, you don't actually think you've drawn the Savior card, do you?" Chen Yue smiled confidently. "Child's play."

Upon hearing Chen Yue's words, Bai E wondered if he had misread the card. He looked at his card again and saw that it was indeed the Savior!

Chen Yue directly revealed the Savior card in her hand: "Savior, no need to look, it's with me."

"No, why do you have the Savior card in your hand?" Bai E directly revealed his card.

Why are there two saviors?

Xi Lian's eyes widened as well.

Xi Lian: Who put this card into my deck?

Chen Yue: You admit these are your cards.

"Why are there two identical cards?"

"Hahaha... I don't know what happened, but since A-Yue and I drew the same thing, let's become heroes together!" Bai E was stunned for a moment, then excitedly patted Chen Yue's shoulder.

"You, stop talking about becoming a hero. I don't want to be any kind of hero." Chen Yue was speechless.

He doesn't want to be a hero; his wish is to live a carefree life. Being a hero is too tiring!

"Little Yue, I think this is pretty good. If there really is a disaster, two saviors are definitely better than one. Okay, it's just a card, it's not a big deal." Xi Lian winked at Chen Yue and said playfully.

"But just how terrible must the world be to need two saviors?"

"Don't worry, Yue, I'll protect you then." Bai E patted Chen Yue's shoulder and thumped his own shoulder at the same time.

"Are you sure it's not you protecting me, but me protecting you? You've never beaten me even once. And what were you saying about becoming heroes together? You're so weak, I'm afraid you'll hold me back," Chen Yue said speechlessly, knowing that Bai E had never beaten her before.

"And I don't want to be a savior..."

"Little Yue is still as tactless as ever, so cute," Xi Lian said with a smile.

"What do you mean by being hypocritical? I'm not being hypocritical at all."

Bai E laughed when he heard Xi Lian and Chen Yue's words, and the room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Chen Yue looked at her "Savior" card and discovered that there was another line of text on the back.

"Everyone will part from one man, but he will witness miracles." Chen Yue read the words on the back of the card, but after she finished reading, the words on the back of the card suddenly disappeared, and then another sentence appeared: "Don't keep saying one thing and meaning another, or you'll regret it in the end."

The first line looked like a prophecy, but the second sentence was advice, which puzzled Chen Yue.

Just as you were about to tell Xilian and Bai'e these two sentences, a huge sound suddenly rang out outside, and a disaster called the Black Tide appeared without warning in your hometown.

【You two went out to stop those monsters, and found that none of the little guys who used to call you brother were there. Suddenly, the monsters started talking, and their voices were actually the voices of those little guys—Piso and Livia.

After an inner struggle, just when you're about to give them a dignified death, they murmur to you: What's wrong with you? Brother Bai'e, Brother Chen Yue, aren't we best friends? We don't want to die.

Your adoptive father, Hilonimos, fought to the last moment with his two children, using short swords, for you and Behemoth... Your adoptive mother, Odatta, pleaded with the Titans for your sake, and was ripped open in the chest by a monster. You watched all of this happen, but there was nothing you could do.

Pesso, Livia, Uncle Hunter Galba, and Teacher Pisius had all transformed into monsters of the Black Tide. You and Bai Er finished them off one by one, giving them a dignified death. After killing them, a heavy rain began to fall, the cold raindrops landing on your face and slowly sliding down, leaving tear tracks. But you didn't cry. You didn't know if you were cold-blooded; looking at your destroyed homeland, you just couldn't shed a tear.

You lost your home...

The next day, you and Bai E buried all the corpses in the village. Bai E and Xi Lian placed a few bouquets of flowers on the tombstones, and you subconsciously knelt down and kowtowed.

Seeing Xi Lian still crying beside you, you comfort her with heartache.

"Sister Xilian, don't cry. Didn't you say I was your savior? Since I am your savior, let me protect you and become your savior."

After saying this, you hugged Xi Lian. To comfort Xi Lian, you decided to become her savior, but only Xi Lian's savior.

When Xi Lian heard your words, she sobbed incessantly and hugged you tightly.

After a quick packing, Bai'er planned to gain some experience and join the army, while Xi Lian headed to Janus. Worried about her safety, you decided to follow her and protect her. You were confident in your ability to safeguard her; if anyone dared to harm her, you promised to turn them into a Louis XVI figurine. And so, the three parted ways.
