The Diviner's whereabouts
Now that things have come to this, Lin Yu no longer dares to underestimate the "Diviner's " arrangements.
Any scheme or plot that might seem "too troublesome," "too complicated," or "a bit risky" to others, could actually exist if it's orchestrated by a "Diviner" behind the scenes.
After opening the passage for the "Emperor" to descend into reality, knowing that the "Feng Shui Master" might come to sabotage it and that the "Grandmaster" might come to lie in wait, he could very well ignore the passage and go elsewhere in the Shenzhen to kill other "Tier 4" experts!
After all, the purpose of a "Diviner" is... to clear away obstacles!
"Grandmaster" and "Feng Shui Master" are his biggest threats... But don't he also want to get rid of "Swordsman," "Tengshe," and "Bifang" as soon as possible?
Even... the members of the "Freedom Alliance" have recently become a thorn in his side.
If he cooperated with the "Celestial King" in a surprise attack before the "Emperor" arrived, it was indeed possible for him to kill one of these individuals!
On the contrary, even if the "Grandmaster" and the "Diviner" team up with the "Celestial King," it is difficult to kill them before other Reinforcements arrive.
Lin Yu quickly located the current "Tier 4" battlefield within his Mental Power Network!
As planned, the focus remained on the area near the Convention Center!
On the Rooftop of the Convention Center, the Tier 3 engaged in a fierce tug-of-war over the exit, which had already reached a fever pitch.
At the crossroads outside the International Convention Center, "Celestial King" was also fighting "Swordsman" and "Bifang" alone!
The demonic currents surged, sword light flashed, and chalk stubs and exercise books flew around.
"The Tengshe's hasn't made a move... that makes sense, after all, the 'Freedom Alliance' and the 'Psychology Society' haven't made a sound yet. I know from God's Perspective that they won't help the 'Marauders' this time, but the 'Tengshe' will definitely at least be wary of the Second Generation 'Freud'..."
"Looking at it this way, 'Order' and 'Night Watcher' are actually quite clever... 'Carrier Pigeon,' 'Secretary,' and 'Professor' aren't fools either; they've probably realized that they can't afford to let the publicly visible 'Tier 4' be scattered now..."
"It seems... the 'Diviner' has no chance to ambush them..."
Since the "Diviner" isn't on the front lines, then... where could he be?
Lin Yu pondered, expanding the search scope of his Mental Power Network.
The entire Shenzhen...
There were no signs of mental fluctuations resembling those of a "Diviner".
This did not surprise Lin Yu, because if a "Diviner" wanted to deliberately conceal his aura and location without fighting a "Tier 4" opponent, it would not be difficult at all.
Finding his location using a wide-area search method like a "Mental Power Network" is... far too difficult.
Even though he knew this was a "reasonable" outcome, Lin Yu still felt a sense of unease after failing to find a "Diviner" anywhere.
"No... if he didn't appear anywhere... where could he be?"
"The situation in Shenzhen is urgent right now; it's changing every second. He might be a very patient guy, but... he definitely won't waste too much time."
Lin Yu looked down at the Shenzhen covered by torrential rain from the mid-air gale. He rubbed his temples, feeling as if he had missed something.
"The Diviner"... Leng Jing...
What is he thinking?
From the very beginning, when they interfered in the election of the "Player Mutual Aid Society," the motives of the "Marauders" were clear, but the motives of the "Diviner" remained unclear.
The "Benevolent King" Item is a very convincing reason, but after visiting Prison Mountain Realm Lin Yu, it was discovered that these Item are not that important to the "Diviner".
Even in the Prison Mountain Realm, he orchestrated the release of the Demon Ancestor... Regardless of whether the Demon Ancestor would break free of his restraints, it would ultimately benefit him.
Then, he used "Schreiber" to find out his "true purpose"... The reason he wanted to ally with the "Emperor" was to use the "Emperor" to eliminate dissidents.
Well... that is indeed an impeccable reason. After all, if "Order" and "Night Watcher" were to be destroyed, "The Diviner" could indeed do almost anything he wanted. Even if he couldn't do that, for "The Diviner," every time "Order" and "Night Watcher" lost a master or were weakened, he would gain more.
But... it's still not right!
That was the "purpose" the Diviner " wanted to achieve only when the "emperor" descended.
Now, Lin Yu has discovered the "Diviner's " new "arrangement".
These winding passageways, encircling almost the entire Shenzhen, suggest that the "Diviner" had been planning this for much longer than expected.
No... even without considering that, the expected returns for a "Diviner" from "eliminating dissidents" are actually a bit too uncertain!
This method of "weakening competitors" is far from the best way for "Diviner" to profit.
Judging from his current personality, he is someone who values immediate gains more... He tends to keep profits firmly in his own hands.
So...
"This guy orchestrated the entire Shenzhen, even planning to kill the 'Grandmaster' and the 'Feng Shui Master'... But even at this point, these are still not his 'ultimate goal'—they are merely secondary objectives, a facade to conceal his true intentions!"
At this moment, Lin Yu began to understand the extreme disgust that "Feng Shui Master" Jian Cunyi felt towards him.
"This guy is not only 'evil,' but he's practically obsessed with doing evil... He's like a nesting doll; every time you think you've found his deepest scheme, his most wicked target, you keep digging and always discover something new..."
Lin Yu sighed in mid-air.
"So... what exactly is his goal in doing all this in Shenzhen?"
More valuable than the Item in "Benevolent King," and more direct than the benefits of dying as a "Grandmaster" or "Feng Shui Master"...
Even Lin Yu couldn't think of anything that met the criteria.
However, if we abandon rational thinking and logical deduction...
Based solely on intuition, Lin Yu could vaguely sense an answer.
For a "Diviner," the only thing that could attract him is naturally...
"Become stronger."
Before he came into contact with the "Death game," he might have been greedy for money and power, but after he came into contact with the "Death game," he became obsessed with, even infatuated with, only one thing.
To enhance one's own strength and elevate one's "level of existence".
He is already the strongest "Tier 4".
The way to make a "Diviner" even stronger, the easy path, is naturally... "Becoming a God."
To seize Authority and become Deity.
The "Authority" that "Diviner" most desire to grasp is hardly a secret.
What he wanted... was the shattered Authority "Destiny".
For a long time, "Diviner" have been dedicated to reshaping "Destiny".
To achieve this, he must wait for the right "opportunity".
So...
Why couldn't that time be today?
If it really is today... in this chaotic Shenzhen, what would be the first step in his "concrete plan"?
Of course, it's about finding other "Fragment of Fate"!
Moreover, they mostly started collecting from those outside of the Jian Cunyi!
Considering the [Compass] he possessed that could guide him, and the distribution of the remaining [Fragment of Fate]... Lin Yu suddenly realized something at that moment.
If my guess is correct...
So, what's the "Diviner's " next goal...?
It must be myself!
Because the Compass in his hand will guide him to the location of what he wants...
If the Compass is the most reliable tool, then whether the "Diviner" is looking for "Zhu Ming" or the "Director," it actually points to... their own current location.
Although he is now high in the sky, taking advantage of the wind and rain, in a position that is difficult to guess.
But the "Diviner" doesn't need to guess.
"Damn it..."
The moment he considered this possibility, Lin Yu immediately withdrew his consciousness from the Mental Power Network.
He extended his Mental Power perception to the surroundings, meticulously scanning his entire body.
Nothing was found.
"It's not with me... Did I guess wrong?"
Lin Yu pondered, muttering to himself.
And just as he was about to withdraw his Mental Power...
Suddenly, he sprang into action, pulling out the Ancient Notebook from his [Item Space]—the "Information" Authority once again took over Lin Yu's consciousness, dominating his thoughts!
The moment Lin Yu reconnected his soul and consciousness directly with the [Ancient Notebook], Lin Yu suddenly noticed something within the rain...
The Wooden Boat hovered not far in front of him!
A handsome young man with white hair sat at the bow of Wooden Boat, holding an oil-paper umbrella. The Long Banner behind him was soaked by the rain, and he was enveloped in a layer of old, tattered, grayish-white mist.
He looked at Lin Yu and spoke with a smile.
"As expected, you still managed to spot me," the Director.
"It's really too difficult to make the Authority 'Oblivion' work on you twice... Oh, to be precise, you actually saw through it the first time."
The Diviner Leng Jing...
He was right in front of Lin Yu, less than five meters away!
Upon seeing the moment of Leng Jing, Lin Yu's first reaction was to run away immediately.
However, the moment he was about to launch an escape, he immediately stopped himself from doing so.
Because of the Authority of "information," he "remembered" more of what he had seen.
At this moment, high in the rain, behind me...
The Red Gold Compass was slowly turning.
Between the Compass and the "Diviner," thousands of golden threads are intertwined, trapping him within them!
