Deep within the Immortal Palace.
Elder Mo stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, his expression grave.
For some reason, he had been plagued by an ominous premonition lately, yet repeated divinations showed that nothing would happen.
He primarily cultivated karma and fate and was a towering master of both. His powers of divination rivaled those of even the super old monsters.
What could possibly elude even his divinations?

"Something momentous may happen soon. I suspect it concerns the Sacred Emperor," Elder Mo said somberly.

Elder Mo excelled at divination and foresight. If even he said something momentous would happen, then some great, unpredictable event was surely coming.
"That is indeed one possibility, but what I divined was the Immortal Palace's fate. Although its destiny showed nothing amiss, my heart remains suspended in uncertainty. I have an ominous feeling." Elder Mo's expression was serious.

"What if that turmoil comes from the Sacred Emperor, rather than the previous Sacred Emperor?" Elder Mo asked.
"What... Elder Mo, you mean..."
