When Shen Yuan announced the end of the meeting, the phantoms sitting in their seats gathered in twos and threes and began to chat.

Xiao Yu noticed that the female sage simply left.

Xiao Yu wasn't in a hurry to leave. Since leaving the company, he felt much more relaxed. The point of playing games was to have fun, so there was no need to be too restrained.

With so many Legendary figures before us, how can we not have a proper exchange?

He approached Medivh first, since Medivh was the person he was closest to among all these people. The two had spent some time together at the Dark Portal, and although they weren't close, they had a good relationship.

"Congratulations, Azathoth! It's been a long time. I never imagined you'd become the Elemental King."

Medivh's voice remained as detached and indifferent as ever, as if he were constantly pondering profound questions.

"I imagine that to you, there's no difference between being the Elemental King or the Elemental Lords. After all, compared to the cause we're about to undertake, the title of Elemental King is nothing. So, what about you? Have you found the answer you're looking for?"

"I'm afraid not yet, but the Nameless Sage promised to tell me the truth someday. He said he knows all the answers, and he also promised me that he would stop those higher-dimensional beings from invading this world."

The so-called high-dimensional person must be referring to Wan Jiale, but Xiao Yu thought to himself, "No way, he himself is a high-dimensional person."

However, if Shen Yuan's plan succeeds, it could allow players to be like everyone else in this world, no longer possessing the ability to regenerate indefinitely, which would at least make things a little fairer.

After exchanging a few words, Xiao Yu walked over to Naiser.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect you to betray the company. Didn't you get a nomination?" Xiao Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Hmph, what good are those millions? Thanks to you, I'm now a notorious spendthrift in the family. I've lost hundreds of millions playing games, which is unprecedented. I can't even hold my head up in the family now. So when Shen Yuan recruited me, I immediately agreed. Rather than being a loser in reality, I'd rather be a god in the virtual world, don't you think?"

Xiao Yu thought to himself that it made sense, but he wasn't embarrassed at all. In that situation, no one could have held back.

"Sorry, buddy, but you can't blame me for this. If you hadn't been so greedy, you would have won by simply betting your money on me. In the end, it was your arrogance that led you to think you were the protagonist of a fantasy novel. Who can you blame for this?"

Naiser gave a wry smile. "Who can argue with that? But now we're on the same side. Perhaps once we both become gods, we can have another match and settle the score once more."

Xiao Yu said, "Forget it, if we really become gods, it won't be a joke if we start fighting. But we can let our followers fight each other, and start a holy war every now and then. It sounds pretty exciting."

After speaking with Naiser, Xiao Yu walked over to Merlin.

"We're comrades now, so can you tell me definitively whether you can tell fortunes or not?" Xiao Yu asked bluntly. Merlin was always rambling and seemed a bit unreliable, but since he was Sage of Fate, he must have some skills.

Merlin smiled slightly. "If I said I could, would you believe me?"

Um... Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment; this was indeed a difficult question to answer.

"That settles it then. Fortune telling is something that works if you believe in it, and doesn't work if you don't. But if we're only talking about in games, I do have the ability to predict fate. Have you heard of the Greater Prophecy?"

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "Of course I've heard of it. The Greater Prophecy is one of the four forbidden spells. The effect of this spell is to predict an event, and that event will definitely happen."

"Basically, my prophetic abilities are similar to the Greater Prophecy, only with a longer delay and less obvious effects. However, the advantage is that the restrictions on its use are not as strong. Once I make a prophecy, things will skew in the direction I predicted. Of course, it's not guaranteed to succeed. For example, if I predict that you will kill a dragon, you are very likely to encounter a dragon if you are wandering in the wild, but if you just stay at home, it is unlikely that the dragon will run to the Elemental Plane."

"My divination skills are quite useful. They can be used as Curse against enemies or as a blessing buff for teammates. Currently, they are only available to members of the council. How about it, want to try it? For our old friendship, I can give you one for free."

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "Isn't that just Word Spirit Technique?"

Why not take advantage of freebies?

"Then give me one. The specifics are to improve my luck for the next while."

Merlin nodded and spread his hands in a prayer-like gesture.

Merlin (Sage of Fate): "Azathoth, Elemental King, I see the favor of the gods of fate in you. I foretell that you will have good fortune in the coming week."

System notification: You have been affected by the Prophecy of Fate and have gained the buff [Merlin's Prophecy].

Merlin's Prophecy: Luck improves, duration: 168 hours.

"Wow, that's amazing! If you can predict an improvement in luck within a year, wouldn't you be Invincible?"

"It's not that easy. Basically, the longer the time frame I predict, the less effective it becomes. If I predict a year, you might not feel anything. But if I predict your luck will improve within a day, it will be about twice as effective as a week. A week is generally the most cost-effective. You'll see once you try it. Come back to me next time you want a prediction, but next time there will be a charge."

Xiao Yu nodded, thanked him, and walked towards Kairoz.

Basically, members of the Council of Sages open up their abilities to the public as a paid service and internal benefit. On the one hand, they can exchange some benefits, and on the other hand, they are demonstrating their strength and value. Since each sage has their own unique abilities, everyone benefits greatly.

Merlin's internal perk is divination. As an ancient bronze dragon, Kairoz possesses the ability to control time, and his ability to open his inner self is naturally related to time. This is why Xiao Yu was the second person to approach him. After chatting with Kairoz for a while, Kairoz told Xiao Yu that he could help him see his past self.

However, they can only see images from the past, but cannot communicate with their past selves, because once the timeline is affected, unpredictable results will occur.

Xiao Yu initially found it amazing, but then he realized it was just a game recording function, except that he could access it anytime, anywhere.

Xiao Yu asked if there were any other functions, but Kairoz vaguely changed the subject. This bronze dragon seemed a bit arrogant, saying that the mysteries of time were beyond the comprehension of mortals and that the power of time was unmatched, but he refused to reveal any more concrete information. In Xiao Yu's opinion, he seemed a bit too pretentious.

Next, Xiao Yu went to the Sage of Wisdom Alodi.

Alodi, who appeared to be a very wise old man, suddenly looked up when he saw Xiao Yu approaching. "Have we met before?"

Xiao Yu nodded. "I suppose so. I've seen a copy of you in another dimension. You answered three of my questions, and you said that if I had any other questions, I could just go to the Prison of the Gods."

He was quite curious about Alodi. The Alodi he had met before was able to realize that he was a clone, which was astonishing enough. Moreover, Alodi seemed to know a lot of things, so Xiao Yu wanted to learn some secrets from him.
