The group followed Qingque to the side gate of the Divination Commission. Seeing how familiar Qingque was with the place, March 7th suspected that the girl often sneaked off to this side of the temple.
Why do Xianzhou native she encountered seem to exude an air of slacking off?
Yesterday, when I went to the Sky-Faring Commission to meet Yukong, the general from the Seat of Divine Foresight was unwilling to appear in person and instead used a holographic projection.
Even that Lord Ravager named Phantylia... was lazy today, and didn't even bother to act, just saying he had something to do and couldn't come.
They didn't even put on a proper show. Is this how you entertain guests, Yukong? Phantylia is probably the laziest Lord Ravager that March 7th has ever seen.
"You seem to know this place well; you must take this route quite often when you're free."
"Young lady, you have keen eyes. Those who work at the Divination Commission call this door the ' Carefree Gate.' When we're bored, we often escape through here and enjoy ourselves for a few hours."
"A few... hours? I don't want to know that kind of useless information at all."
"Then let's say something useful to Miss March 7th?" Ye Yan suggested.
"Sigh~ Forget it, we should focus on the important business."
Unsurprisingly, the side door of the Divination Commission remained locked, prompting Qingque to vehemently complain, "What kind of mess is this whole 'Stellaron erosion' thing?"
"Oh no, this door won't open either. If we keep the diviner waiting too long, he'll definitely think that [the unreliable Qingque ] has botched the job again..."
March 7th raised her hand and volunteered. "I know this one, it's the most familiar puzzle-solving part! No need to trouble Uncle Yang, I'll give it a try this time!"
"You still want to say that nonsensical phrase, 'Open Sesame'?"
"Hey, don't say such embarrassing things out loud! What if the doors to the Temple of the Divination Commission are voice-activated?" March 7th huffed.
"Oh? Isn't this inappropriate? It seems the Divination Commission doesn't have voice-activated doors... Oh well, I was just being polite, there's really nothing wrong with it. Miss March 7th, please."
Qingque voluntarily stepped aside, asking, "Do you need me to teach you?"
"No! Just watch how I do it!" March 7th walked to the side door. "Open Sesame!"
"I already said there's no voice control system!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black and gold thread silently burrowed into the switch device.
With a creak, the tightly closed side door responded, and the faint sound of internal gears turning could be heard.
"No way... there really is voice control?" Xing's eyes widened. Thinking back, it was probably because the technology of the Jarilo-VI was too backward.
"Wow! Miss March 7th is truly amazing! An outsider like you easily took down this door. Ahem! I hereby formally hand over the title of Divination Commission [Head of the Carefree Gate ] to you!"
"Hiss... Could it be that I really have the power to make my words come true?" March 7th was also dumbfounded. She was just saying it, how did it actually open?
" Miss March 7th, confidence is a good thing! Believe in yourself."
Under the watchful eyes of Dan Heng and Welt, Ye Yan retracted the silk thread, pretending nothing had happened.
In situations like this, it's best to avoid overly complicated puzzle-solving elements.
Matrix of Prescience, the path was clear and unobstructed, without any attacks from the Fragmentum Monsters. Qingque led the group to the location at full speed.
"Great, no wasted time in the skirmish!"
March 7th celebration: It seems the crisis at Divination Commission has been quelled. They really went to great lengths to interrogate Kafka.
"Ahead lies the magnificent Jade Abacus Calculation Matrix of Prescience, a source of great pride for our Divination Commission."
"Along the way, I've heard people mention the term ' Jade Abacus ' quite often. Miss Qingque, what is Jade Abacus?" Welt asked.
" Jade Abacus... it's just Jade Abacus. Mr. Yang asked a good question, but I can't answer it right now. Let me think... The book 'Mirror of the Yi' says it like this: [Seal patterns on jade, divination reveals the profound]."
"Just like engraving a seal, the craftsmen of the Xianzhou Artisanship Commission will engrave trillions of runes invisible to the naked eye within the jade crystal lattice, and then embed them into various mechanisms according to the needs, allowing them to function according to the designed intent."
"Some Jade Abacus are small enough to be stored in bracelets or jewelry. The larger ones, on the other hand, are placed in formations for divination and to learn from the past to predict the future."
Qingque then looked at the Matrix of Prescience behind her, which was a perfect example. "Just like this Grand Matrix of Prescience, regardless of the changes in the laws of nature or the metabolism of life, as long as there is sufficient information, it can answer any question."
"It is said that the talismans and principles involved were consulted with the Nous [ Omniscient Heavenly Lord ]. Their profoundness is such that only the Grand Diviner of the entire Divination Commission can truly grasp their essence."
Connecting this to the [ Erudition ] Aeon, the Nous, Xing understood, "So this thing is a supercomputer?"
"That seems so, but the name ' Jade Abacus ' sounds much better. Besides, what ordinary computer has such a mysterious origin? Technology personally guided by the Nous..."
Even the Ms. Herta's Space Station might not have this technology, and March 7th has never seen anything related to Nous.
"Anyway, don't get hung up on the debate over names. As long as the mechanism functions, what difference does it make whether it's a [ Jade Abacus ] or a [Computer]?"
"Like today, as long as someone guides you here, it doesn't matter whether it's Qingque or a whitebird."
Well said.
Ye Yan wholeheartedly agreed with this statement. The children Church had achieved just that, regardless of differences in their social status; they acted as they were meant to be.
Recalling his experience at the Church... He went there to help out as a volunteer, and when he got tired of moving things, he decided to go to the church to see the overall layout. When he walked to his own statue, he happened to see the fruit plate that was placed there.
Seeing that no one was around, Ye Yan took a piece of apple, but was grabbed by the blonde priestess who was acting as his agent after just taking a bite.
"Hey, what are you doing!" The priestess stormed over, her eyes widening when she saw Ye Yan holding the fruit meant for the [ Eternity ] Aeon.
"This... this... stealing offerings! What kind of behavior is this?!"
"Ahem, it's like this, please let me explain." Ye Yan cleared his throat. After all, He was a god who valued reason, so at this moment He chose to lay his cards on the table directly.
"Phew... There's no other way, I can't hide it anymore."
"My devout believer, rejoice! Before you stands the [ Eternity ] Aeon Yite himself!"
"How about it? Aren't you shocked? Aren't you so shocked you want to cry? You've finally met the deity you worship, aren't you moved?" Ye Yan out his hands, and holy light, even brighter than that of the Chair Blake, shone upon them.
Acting Priest:...
Impersonating a deity is an even greater crime!
"Young volunteer, are you so hungry you're talking nonsense? It seems we've put too much pressure on you with the workload..." The priestess reflected on her own actions first, then turned to report the situation to Chair Blake.
"Is there anything else? If not, I'll go back to processing the documents. Remember! Don't eat Lord Yite's food!" Since this is Ye Yan's first offense, he needs to be punished properly to teach him a lesson.
"Hmm, I'll punish you by making you copy the ' Eternity Creed ' once."
"Well..."
Ye Yan sighed helplessly. These days, nobody believes you if you tell the truth.
Bringing her thoughts back to the present, Qingque continued speaking to everyone:
"We're almost at the heart of the Matrix of Prescience; the Grand Diviner should be waiting for us there."
