I'm not just human!

Although the result of this divination was only just barely close, it was still surprising enough.

"Mechanical divination... It's really something. Looks like I'll have to learn it from them. I wonder if I could make a similar mechanical pillar using star silver or mithril and it would have the same effect?"

Xia Fa's eyes gleamed as he examined the five destroyed magical mechanical pillars, trying hard to memorize the magical inscriptions on them and their general structure.

But as he was writing, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and he realized something.

"Wait, let's do a divination!"

Xia Fa immediately flipped his hand and grasped the yellow crystal again. But this time, he did not enter a divination state. Instead, he entered a state similar to divination, with highly active spiritual intuition.

The world immediately changed in his eyes.

Each person's body was covered with a large area, like paint spreading out; the lower half of the area was a hazy gray, while the upper half was a deep and tranquil color like the starry sky.

This is the reflection of people's current mental and spiritual state in terms of emotional coloring.

Indeed, Xia Fa "saw" the emotional states of everyone present.

This is merely basic esoteric knowledge in divination, which almost all superhumans possess, and it's not particularly useful; at most, it can be used to detect whether a superhuman is about to lose control.

For example, when the hazy area ripples like boiling water, it indicates that the superhuman's mental body is extremely disordered and on the verge of going out of control.

But now, as Xia Fa looked at Daponz, he clearly saw... in Daponz's emotional state, the hazy gray color and the starry sky color were almost completely intertwined!

"really……"

Xia Fa immediately put away the citrine, completely understanding the situation, and even felt a sense of joy at solving a difficult problem.

It turns out that Daponz didn't divination it through the tiny clues he left behind, the Destruction Silver and Star Silver Powder, but rather... through Daponz's own past experiences!

To be precise, it was through the two experiences of fighting alongside Daponz in the sacred land of the desert, and of him saving him by transforming into a three-meter-tall metal humanoid!

Those two experiences led to their destinies intertwining twice, once when he was an ordinary person and once when he entered the Silver Throne state.

The two intertwined destinies affected the flow of information in the Celestial Realm, allowing the two flows of information to connect briefly.

This led Daponz to think, during this divination, that he was "divining the extraordinary being who signed the Silver Throne."

Then, because he himself had a fateful entanglement with "Xia Fa," he obtained a little bit of comprehensive divination information.

This is why his mind experienced such violent fluctuations, almost overlapping with his astral body.

That means that his mental body, that is, himself, participated to the greatest extent possible in this divination!

On the contrary, the Destruction Silver and Star Silver Powder, although surrounded by citrine powder, did not participate in it at all.

"That's interesting..."

A smile involuntarily appeared on Xia Fa's face as he once again felt the mystery and vastness of divination.

Indeed, the statement at the end of "Divination and Secret Texts" that "divination is the most direct means of getting closer to destiny" is not an exaggeration by the author because of his research in divination.

Of course, the writer's next sentence is immediately—

"And fate is the most unpredictable thing, just as the Great Old Ones who once ruled the universe could not see through it."

When Xia Fa first read this sentence, he didn't understand its meaning.

Now he understood. This probably referred to the history where the Great Old Ones were first surrounded by five opponents by the Absolute Defense and then wiped out, and finally, all the Great Old Ones were completely annihilated.

If the Great Old Ones could foresee fate, why would they have tried to besiege the god of absolute defense, only to be annihilated by him in a one-against-five battle?

A deep, resonant voice suddenly rang out, breaking the noise in the room.

"Alright, everyone, my suggestion is that we stop questioning and doubting each other."

The voice was very distinctive, like the low roar of a lion. Although the tone was calm, it carried a hint of monarchical majesty.

Xia Fa's heart stirred slightly, and he turned to look.

The man was a burly figure, about 2.5 meters tall, clad entirely in a pure white priest's robe, with a huge cross on his back, short blond hair, and a solemn, square face.

He stood at the very edge of the crowd, but because of his towering height, he had an unobstructed view of everything that had just happened, yet he remained silent, like a mountain or a lurking lion.

"Levimir..."

Xiafa had heard Ethan and the others mention this person; he was said to be one of the young people in the current Augu Kingdom with the best chance of becoming a demigod.

Moreover, as a whale-level superhuman, five out of the six secret contracts of Levimir are high-level secret contracts.

It seems that he is also a descendant of the extraordinary, a descendant of Leviathan, just like himself, and has even awakened two extraordinary talents!

"Wait, no, I'm not a descendant of extraordinary beings..."

Suddenly realizing the flaw in his thinking, Xia Fa chuckled.

As expected, everyone fell silent. Whether they were noble students or church elites, they all clearly gave Levimir a lot of face.

Levimir then said in a deep voice:

"If this future extraordinary monarch is willing to speak, he will eventually tell us whether we ask or not. If he is unwilling to speak for some reason, wouldn't we be offending him right now? Offending someone who has signed the Silver Throne, a hegemonic secret agreement, is something we can all imagine the consequences of."

After this short period, regardless of whether they knew how powerful the Silver Throne was, thanks to the extensive embellishment by others, especially those who witnessed the three-meter-tall silver-white metal humanoid hunting down a demigod-level restraining chain,

Almost everyone present understood the immense power of the future extraordinary monarch.

Therefore, after Levi's mention, everyone was suddenly startled and dared not ask any more questions.

Only Ofo, her eyes still shining, looked left and right in the crowd. Riding on the Traveling Slime, her petite figure now appeared high above, her gaze constantly searching.

"No, that doesn't seem right. Hmm, that's definitely not it either. Hmm, it can't possibly be this guy, so who is it..."

Xia Fa looked at her curious expression and couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Just then, the voices of the noble students in charge of grilling the meat came from afar.

"It's all baked! Everyone, come and try the cooking of the Milirisser family!"

"And me, when I was experiencing ordinary life, I was the owner of a barbecue restaurant for several days! That barbecue restaurant is still open now, of course, I invested in it, haha."

"This roasted venison smells so good, let me try some for everyone first."

Although the delicious food did not diminish everyone's excitement in searching for the future extraordinary monarch, after a day of hunting, both the noble students and the church elites were hungry.

In particular, everyone has been using their respective secret abilities frequently today, which is a good opportunity to supplement their extraordinary power and advance their understanding of secrets.

So, everyone, including Xia Fa, gathered around the campfire.

As the noble students in charge of the barbecue began to distribute the meat, everyone quickly began to feast.

Shafa was unexpectedly given a roasted beef leg. According to the student named Milirisser, this was out of respect for Shafa and his family, especially for Shafa's contributions to the refugees of the Kingdom of Augu.

……

In the dead of night, the moonlight hung in the tranquil night sky.

Xiafa walked alone on the road from Augustus to Rum.

This dirt road, usually bustling with farmers and tourists, was now even more crowded with people—humans, fog people, giants… it didn’t look like night at all.

"They've been eating for so long, it's almost midnight..."

With the "Fate Carnival" on his mind, Xia Fa didn't linger and quickly returned to Rum City.

Arriving at Daniel Street, and reaching the front of his own little attic, Xia Fa pushed open the door.

The aroma of food wafted over him, and the first thing he saw was the various kinds of feast laid out on the lacquered wooden round table... cheese and bacon stew, assorted smoked meats, roasted lamb ribs, it was simply dazzling.

But the dishes were almost all cold, and the doll girl Benedict was lying on the table, holding a doll in each hand, fast asleep.

She must have been eagerly anticipating the dish for a very long time after cooking it.

Xia Fa felt a slight pang of guilt.

He tiptoed over, intending to take off his coat and quietly cover Benedict with it to keep her warm.

Just then, Beneath's little head suddenly moved, and she began to talk in her sleep:

"Eat, take this sword, you wretched giant wolf Fenrir! Haha, Shafa, how did you end up with Ceroll? She's a siren, you two are reproductively isolated. Hmm, Sister Nakoko, don't worry, Shafa is very good to me."

Xia Fa paused for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

What kind of dream is this innocent doll girl having...?

After gently draping the coat over Benedict's body, Xia Fa quietly walked upstairs and closed the bedroom door behind her.

Then, he drew back the bedroom curtains, letting the moonlight stream in.

The cool moonlight shone on him, illuminating his thick, sharp eyebrows, his deep, star-like eyes, his high, straight nose, his thin, indifferent lips, and his clear, defined jawline.

Anyone who takes a look at him will be genuinely amazed; he is like a beautiful man from ancient Greece, so handsome that he seems otherworldly.

Of course, all of this was in Xia Fa's imagination; in reality, the moonlight was just shining on him.

He took a deep breath, flipped his palm, and took out the triangular gold badge from his pouch.

Xiafa ran his thumb over the half-decayed World Tree relief, took a deep breath, and pinned it to his chest.

The moment he put it on, the Shadow Gold automatically adhered to his chest.

then……

Surprisingly...

did not expect……

Nothing happened!

Yes, the bedroom remained quiet, and Xia Fa still stood in the moonlight, just standing there.

Only the golden badge remained, quietly bathed in moonlight.

Boom-!

A heart-pounding sound rang out, assaulting Xia Fa's eardrums and quickly spreading to the unknown distance.

Xia Fa suddenly had a feeling that he had been pulled into a "dream" in an instant.

But at the same time, he was also clear-headed.

To be "awake" while "dreaming"

"This is……"

He looked around and found himself on an island.

A vast, boundless sea, a bright moon hanging high in the sky, and only one solitary island with a coconut tree growing on it. The cool, fine sand beneath your feet is nothing else.

It was still night, still so quiet, but the sea was eerily still, without a single ripple, not even the slightest wave, and there was no wind.
