Chapter 678 - 434: Divination Master

Chapter 678: Chapter 434: Divination Master

VMMMM—

Time reset once again!

The Root Magic, Ring of Time Jumping, was only useful in conjunction with Lu Cang’s current situation.

It could almost be said that Izparut had tailor-made this Magic for Lu Cang.

For an ordinary person, comprehending Root Magic for oneself was already an exceedingly difficult feat. Yet Izparut could even comprehend it for others, tailored to their unique circumstances.

By now, Lu Cang had reached a point where, for anything related to Magic, he could entrust it to Izparut with complete confidence.

WHOOSH—

Outside the window, a gentle breeze was blowing.

Sunlight streamed in through a small gap in the curtains. It was early morning, and he was already in Raine Town.

The Newbie Village where he had lived when he first arrived in this world.

Lu Cang assessed himself.

Other than his Storage Bag being empty, as he hadn’t brought the future one back with him, all his other Professions, Levels, and mastered Skills remained unchanged.

His strength was still at its absolute peak.

In his memory, Luo Si and the others were supposed to set out with an Adventurer’s Guild party today, encounter a Tier Three King Level Demon, and fall into grave danger.

And he himself would obtain the Secret Scroll for the Death Priest from that Demon.

Tonight, Meiser would come looking for him.

Tomorrow, the demon tide in Raine Town would erupt, and Iz and the others would return.

His memories were crystal clear. Possessing a Memory Palace, there was no chance of Lu Cang misremembering anything.

SWISH—

In the next instant, his Perception spread out!

His Perception instantly swept over a four-hundred-thousand-kilometer radius centered on Raine Town.

At the same time, he located Meiser.

At this moment, Meiser was at the Adventurer’s Guild, leisurely sipping wine and humming a little tune, seemingly preparing for something interesting.

A Level 6 Mage.

Back then, he had looked up to a Level 6 Mage as if gazing at the blazing sun.

He had felt it was like an insurmountable mountain.

But a Level 6 Mage now... Lu Cang could suppress one with a single hand, viewing them as nothing more than an ant.

However, Meiser was not his top priority. The person Lu Cang was truly most concerned about... was someone else.

The next moment, Lu Cang’s Perception shifted to the library.

At this time of day, Pari should be in the library office.

TAP—

Divine Level Future Projection

Lu Cang activated Future Preview right away, not planning to interact with Pari in the real world.

Lu Cang maintained a high level of vigilance toward this mysterious Divination Master.

SWISH—

Lu Cang instantly arrived at the library office. Pari was there, as expected, quietly reading a book just as she always was.

Lu Cang activated his Unsolvable Mystery to its maximum.

At the same time, he knocked on the door.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—

"Come in."

With a CREAK~, the wooden door opened, and inside the small room, he once again saw the girl with short, light purple hair.

"Sister Pari."

Pari turned a page of her book, her expression blank.

"So, you’ve come."

"It seems you’re almost ready."

Lu Cang tilted his head slightly. "Sister Pari, I’m not sure what you’re talking about."

Pari’s attitude toward him now was completely different from how she had treated his Level 2 self.

Pari, however, was nonchalant. Her eyes weren’t on Lu Cang at all as she continued to flip through her book.

Lu Cang’s Perception focused on the book in her hands. It was a book with a purple cover, and its title was *Destiny Theory*.

But as his Perception swept over the text inside the book, it was surprisingly abstruse and difficult to understand.

’Even with my vast knowledge now, I actually can’t comprehend it...’

"Have you prepared yourself to accept your True Destiny, Lu Cang?" Pari spoke again.

’The Pari before me knows my name.’

At this point in time, Lu Cang had indeed met Pari a few times, but they were only slightly acquainted.

The most abnormal thing was that he had Unsolvable Mystery activated. She shouldn’t know his name at all.

"Pari, you really are something else," Lu Cang sighed softly.

Her attitude said it all.

"I don’t know what you mean by ’True Destiny.’"

"But I’m not in the habit of accepting things from people I can’t trust."

Hearing Lu Cang’s reply, Pari finally turned around.

She met Lu Cang’s gaze directly.

A faint halo of light swirled constantly within her purple pupils, as if reflecting scene after scene of the future.

"Oh..."

Pari extended her hand.

"Don’t you want to know everything about me?"

"Now, you’ve caught me."

’She even knows exactly why I’m here.’

Lu Cang didn’t make contact immediately. Instead, he retorted, "Pari, didn’t you say your family rules require you to remain chaste and that you can’t have physical contact with a man before marriage?"

Pari looked puzzled. "That is a family rule, but if you want to touch me, I can’t stop you. Am I supposed to die over it?"

Lu Cang opened his mouth but was left speechless.

’Even after resetting, I still feel completely helpless against Pari.’

In truth, the reason he had used Future Preview was because he figured that even if Pari didn’t intend to let him touch her, he had no fewer than ten ways to force contact.

"Well then, Sister Pari, don’t mind if I do."

’There was supposed to be a conversation. But it seems there’s no need for much discussion anymore.’

’Pari seems to already know what has happened and what will happen... even with my Unsolvable Mystery active.’

Pari just said lazily, "Lu Cang."

"Once you know some things, there’s no turning back..."

’These mystifying Divination Masters are really detestable.’

But fortunately, Lu Cang didn’t plan to take on any major karma. He only intended to see through Pari within the preview.

Even if he learned everything, after the Future Preview ended, he would be back in a state of having never made contact with Pari.

’This... should work, right?’

This was already the safest approach.

Lu Cang took hold of Pari’s slender fingers. "If you don’t know anything, even if you do something wrong, you’ll still think you did the right thing..."

"I believe the truth is very important."

Lu Cang gave his answer.

Yin’er Lipani

Profession: Divination Master (Level: 9)

Profession: Scholar (Level: 7)

Talent: Divine Level Eye of True Destiny

Hidden Knowledge: The One Closest to Destiny.

...

Level 9 Divination Master.

Pari asked in a lazy tone, "Did you get the answer you wanted, Lu Cang?"

He met Pari’s gaze again.

He felt as if her eyes had already seen through the future.

Actually, he had already guessed.

Pari’s various behaviors were not those of a Level 6 Divination Master at all.

During this time, Lu Cang had also encountered many other Level 6, and even Level 7, Divination Masters, but none of them gave him the same mysterious feeling as Pari.

Pari was the most mysterious one.

Lu Cang had long suspected that Pari was either Level 8 or... Level 9.

But when the result was actually revealed, it still made his breathing hitch.

A true Level 9 Reincarnator.

’This is trouble.’

Conversing with a Divination Master was already troublesome, let alone a Level 9 Divination Master.

Lu Cang calmed his emotions.

Now that he knew Pari’s true identity, pretending not to know would be pointless.

’Accept what happened, then find the most advantageous way to handle it.’

Lu Cang asked frankly, getting straight to the point, "Pari, you’re a Level 9 Divination Master, aren’t you? Why are you here?"

"What are you planning to do?"

Pari didn’t answer immediately, only withdrawing her hand.

She turned to her desk, leaned on it with one hand, and lazily, slowly turned a page.

After reading two pages, she said lightly, "What else would a Level 9 Divination Master want to do?"

"Become a Level 10 Divination Master, of course."

"I’d advise you not to treat me as an enemy. I’m staking my hopes of advancing to Level 10 on you, you see..."

"Even a Level 9 Divination Master is still an outsider to Destiny."

"Even I cannot change True Destiny."

"Therefore, it can only be you who overturns the unchangeable True Destiny. And from the looks of it now, I think I made the right bet."

"Your Destiny has become vague and indistinct. You have already become an independent existence outside of Destiny."

"And because of your existence, variables have appeared in all that was once ordained."

As Pari spoke, frame after frame of unseen images appeared in Lu Cang’s eyes. In an instant, it was as if he had traversed all things in the world, witnessing the future and end of all life.

But there was one exception: his own ending was not among them.
