Fate Seer
At the same time, Elder Min also met the legendary Fate Seer.
Contrary to the imagined solemn and dignified conference room, the meeting place between the Fate Seer and them was the hall of the White Palace.
The hall was surrounded by pure white gauze curtains, which fluttered gently in the breeze, casting dappled light on the White Jade floor. Tranquil white vegetation grew all around, emitting a faint, refreshing plant fragrance.
The Fate Seer sat upright at a low table in the hall, wearing a light gold robe made of what appeared to be the finest silk, soft and shimmering with a subtle glow, its edges gleaming even in everyday light.
Elder Min glanced at the Fate Seer from afar and immediately noticed that the Fox Pattern on his forehead was tightly intertwined, resembling a third eye.
The three exchanged glances instinctively, and Wang Ding and Bai Zhong shook their heads simultaneously.
Wang Ding glanced at his wrist, Elder Ju sent him two short question marks.
This already speaks volumes about his doubts, because they share the same mindset at this moment.
The Fate Seer sat right in front of them, without any attempt to conceal himself; every feature of him was clearly discernible.
But though I could see him clearly, once I looked away, it always felt like a thin fog had been cast over my mind, and I could no longer piece together his complete face; I could only remember the gentle smile on his lips.
"Gentlemen representing the Authorities, please have a seat. There's no need to be so formal," the Fate Seer said, looking up at the three men with a smile.
His voice was very pleasant, soft and gentle, like a breeze, with a touch of ethereal unreality. His eyes were so bright that they seemed to see right through everyone's thoughts. Wang Ding glanced at him and unconsciously lowered his head.
Elder Min bowed slightly and nodded, his expression serious. "Hello, I've long admired your name."
The Fate Seer returned the courtesy without rising, saying, "I am but a nobody. My name is the Fate Seer; you may address me as such."
After saying that, he gestured for them to sit down. "Please help yourselves to the tea."
The group picked up their teacups, and by the time Elder Min put down his teacup, he had already prepared his words.
"Your organization's location is indeed quite unique. Our Authorities also has a similar Instance. I wonder what Rules need to be followed here?"
The Fate Seer laughed, "No Rules are needed. This is Otherworld, not Weird Instance. How you are on Blue Star is how you will be here."
His words struck them like a hammer blow, even Elder Min couldn't help but widen his eyes. "Otherworld?"
"Every flower, every blade of grass, every tree grows naturally, forming a complete cycle of the world, unlike a mere Instance a world."
The Fate Seer gazed at the distant mountains, a faint smile lingering in his voice, "There are many such small worlds in the world; the one we inhabit is merely insignificant."
After saying that, he looked at Elder Min again. "It's normal that the two people behind you don't know about this, but Elder Min, you shouldn't be so surprised that there are worlds beyond worlds."
Elder Min raised his eyebrows and said with a chuckle, "My acting skills have declined, haven't they? You've already noticed?"
The Fate Seer, "You've done a very good job keeping this secret."
"Fool, Fate Seer is unpredictable; you are transparent to him."
A boy's voice came from above. The three looked up, but only saw a dark shadow flash by.
The Fate Seer smiled and said, "The Little Cat are a bit mischievous. They're all quite lively today Fate Master isn't home."
Elder Min chuckled, "I understand, the younger generation is always so full of energy."
After circling back and forth a few times, Wang Ding looked at the real-time questions sent to his Wristband and asked, "Fate Seer, as far as we know, the organization has always kept a low profile. Why have they suddenly appeared now, and what is the purpose of this meeting with us?"
The Fate Seer said, "For the sake of stability."
Elder Min was startled; this coincided with their thoughts.
The Authorities cannot act arbitrarily most of the time; they represent neutrality and stability. If they were to act rashly, it would certainly disrupt stability and peace.
But the people in the organization acted without any regard for the consequences.
Although he said he wanted to be "stable," the things the organization did had absolutely nothing to do with that word!
The Fate Seer determined the fate of the world paid no heed to their expressions, and simply said, "The stability of a world is the key to long-term survival. We will only come to your world when stability is disrupted."
"If the Authorities forces were worth cultivating, we would be sitting here calmly and peacefully discussing cooperation, just like we are now. If they weren't worth cultivating, you wouldn't be seeing me here."
Bai Zhong: "So, you are a force that supports the Authorities?"
The Fate Seer gently shook their head. "I do not support any particular faction; all I care about is stability."
"Whether it's humans, monsters, Family Clan, or the Authorities, as long as things are stable and this world can continue to exist, that's enough."
Elder Min, "So, you sense that this world can't go on?"
The Fate Seer stared at the Camerahead on Elder Min's body and laughed, "Didn't you all already know the final deadline?"
The capabilities of Authorities should not be underestimated in any world; after all, they possess top-notch talent and are well-informed.
"Mr. Fate Seer is truly worthy of his reputation; he managed to find out about this matter so clearly." Elder Min was not at all surprised by his words.
Sensing his unspoken meaning, the Fate Seer merely smiled and said calmly, "As the Fate Seer, all information is within my sight. Like the key you've been secretly plotting for ten years—"
"Fate Seer!" Elder Min suddenly called out to him, shaking his head slightly, "Some things cannot be said too much."
The Fate Seer nodded. "Indeed, since you don't want to, I can choose not to say."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ding frowned and looked at Elder Min. Elder Min was still smiling broadly, but the worry in his eyes seemed to have deepened.
Wang Ding didn't understand the terms "final deadline" or "key," and he had never heard anything like "the world is about to be destroyed."
He and Bai Zhong were there, but their souls seemed to have flown away, completely unable to keep up with their conversation.
After the conversation, Elder Min finally understood the abilities of the Fate Seer.
He abandoned his desire for verification and sincerely exclaimed in admiration, "Incredible! There really is such a thing as prophetic ability in the world. Is Fate Seer willing to cooperate with us only for the sake of those children?"
Although Elder Min had a very good attitude, he never bowed his back. He represented not just himself, but all of humanity.
Although most of his experiences since arriving here have shocked and upset this old man, he has managed to maintain a composed demeanor.
The Fate Seer shook their head. "It's not me, it's the Fate Master, who is also the Master of this place. He values them highly."
As the Fate Seer spoke, he waved his hand, and the lights above their heads flickered, revealing images of Qin Rang and the others sitting at a long table on the Lawn.
"The Fate Master said they would be the key to changing the world."
"The key to the change?" Wang Ding, one of these people, was bewildered.
"However, the Fate Master has one condition."
Elder Min said earnestly, "Please speak."
He wanted to keep Sheng Qingqiao, but he wouldn't force her.
All three were stunned for a moment, only Wang Ding roughly knew why he wanted Sheng Qingqiao, because he was very similar to the people here, they had something in common.
Could it be that he poached members from other organizations to fill this position?
"I will definitely convey these words, but Sheng Qingqiao stays or leaves is his own decision."
"Certainly."
"Now that we've come this far, do you... want to know the truth about this world?"
