Outside Earth, an asteroid floated silently in space. Miss Fate stood on it, gazing at Earth with a peculiar look in her eyes.
Lu Yin emerged.
Miss Fate looked at Lu Yin. To outsiders, she still appeared to be a white cloud, but from Lu Yin's perspective, he could see her true appearance.
"Dao Child, you were looking for me?" Miss Fate asked slowly.
"May I ask how you knew, senior?" Lu Yin replied politely.
"I'm the Descendant of Destiny," Miss Fate said with a smile. She was clearly a little girl, so cute, yet her gaze was so profound that it seemed to see through the world.
Lu Yin stared into Miss Fate's eyes. "Descendant of Destiny, why did you choose me?"
Miss Fate shook her head. "I didn't choose you. You earned it yourself. Whoever became Dao Child, I would have helped."
"Why?"
"Destiny's choice."
"What does Destiny use to choose?"
"The future."
Lu Yin's eyes widened. "You can see the future?" If this had happened before, he wouldn't have believed it. But now, after traveling through time, what wasn't possible? Destiny could divine a person's past and future; it was quite possible that this had something to do with time. If one could see the past, one could see the future.
Miss Fate shook her head. "Destiny can. I can't."
Lu Yin said, "Back then, Star Gate divined that humanity would face a great calamity and told me to protect them when it came. A man named Xuan Jiu used the Xuantian Mirror to divine my fate and said I was an ill-omened person, and that anyone who followed me would come to a bad end. Which of these two divinations should I believe?"
Miss Fate smiled. "They're the same result. Why choose?"
Lu Yin was surprised.
