CHAPTER 1220: CHAPTER 1216: THE WHEEL OF DESTINY

The star moon silver spoon, adorned with purple curtains, swayed gently in the wind, and the tinkling of silver decorations echoed, as the fragrance of roses and gardenias grew more intense.

"Alright, let me give it a try." Su Ming’an agreed.

He speculated that this divination result was probably the work of a deity with a similar observation authority, though he didn’t know if the deity was genuinely guiding humans or merely mocking all living beings.

He didn’t believe in such things; he was merely curious about how that unseen deity would evaluate him.

As the shrine maiden lit the incense, the blond youth suddenly said, "I’ve seen the divination process of many people. I have a hobby, which is witnessing... others’ lives, including their daily routines, work, hobbies, and divination results. When they uncontrollably head towards a destined end, I enjoy observing their final stance, which makes me feel... delight."

His tone lifted, as if recalling something particularly interesting:

"So, I’ve witnessed many people’s divination outcomes and even summarized patterns."

"Interestingly, the beast clan that has never seen jewels or gold cannot divine a character chart including [jewels] or [gold]. Having only ever seen wheat, dirt, and pig grass, they can only divine wheat, dirt, and pig grass. Thus, their future lives will always consist of these."

"So, they always take out their scarce savings and repeatedly visit those crude divination houses, hoping to divine some better elements to change their lives by sheer luck."

"But it’s a vicious cycle; incompetent diviners inherently lack abilities to divine more expensive elements. Instead, these beast clans become poorer as they sustain too many [character charts]. They treat divination as a lottery, and once divined, they ignore it and wait for a miracle to strike them, ignoring the wails of those abandoned [character charts]."

"And those clans that divined expensive elements from the start find life always becomes smoother, as the beneficial elements in their images only multiply."

"There is always one ’element’ that will be the epitome of your life."

Su Ming’an gazed into his azure eyes, noticing the subtle joy within them.

At this moment, the shrine maiden had made her preparations. She lit the pink candle in the silver holder and placed a Phoenix Tree magic wand adorned with a green cat’s eye stone on the table’s left side, signaling Su Ming’an to extend his right hand.

Drip, drip.

A bronze solid crystal was crushed, with several drops of brown-yellow liquid trickling into Su Ming’an’s palm.

"What’s this?" Su Ming’an felt warmth in his palm.

"Amber." The shrine maiden chuckled lightly, producing a small crystal bottle: "And this is... dragon blood combined with celestial tears."

She poured the small crystal bottle, causing the gold-red fluorescent liquid to permeate a transparent card, revealing a hexagonal pattern, shimmering with bright silver plating. As Su Ming’an’s fingers touched the card’s surface, the liquid flexibly flowed and penetrated the paper’s back, gradually sketching an intricate picture.

"Back then, the War of Eden between the Goddess of Life and the God of Doom, labeled as the war between the benevolent side and the wicked side, saw the blood and tears of the Dragon Clan and Celestial Clan scattered across the sky. Their blood and tears were collected by land creatures and sold for a fortune. These are excellent element communication materials and can be used for high-level divination," said the shrine maiden.

These few drops of dragon blood and celestial tears would likely fetch a heavenly price outside, yet Su Ming’an was contemplating—the peak clan Lighthouse Jellyfish stands above the Celestial Clan and Dragon Clan; if he were the legendary undying Lighthouse Jellyfish, would his blood be more valuable?

When the liquid ceased flowing and automatically evaporated, Su Ming’an withdrew his finger.

"The divination result is out," the shrine maiden took out a silk cloth, picking up Su Ming’an’s palm to wipe his hand.

Su Ming’an picked up the divination card with a slightly cautious stance, tilting it slightly, only facing his direction. The blond youth remained gentlemanly, refraining from peeking.

...

[Divination Card · (The wheel of fortune) Wheel of Destiny]

[Element: Clock, Time, Jellyfish, Feast, Feather Pen, Unavoidable Destiny.]

["—All you can do is accept. Besides this, there’s no other way."]

...

The divination card art resembles a metallic emblem. Within the card is a human figure, the facial features not depicted clearly, yet enough to discern it’s him. He wields a spear, his white robe flowing, bearing wings akin to jellyfish tentacles, standing atop a gigantic circular clock, surrounded by golden rings akin to the wheel of time.

But the clock’s hand is fork-like, its pointed end facing his direction. The background outside the clock flickers like a resplendent starry sky, or myriad lights, resembling a multitude of wolf-like prying eyes.

In the center, a feather pen runs through his heart, akin to a sword full of hostile intent, yet the white jellyfish tentacles behind him gently envelop the feather’s tip.

...What’s the meaning of this?

Su Ming’an stared at the card.

"Ding!"

The system notification suddenly chimed.

...

...

[As you are a (Sixth Rank Ruler), you can choose a perfect pass route from here. For twenty-five days, the system will continue to provide you with navigation for this route, helping you reach the final end.]

[Please note that the difficulty levels for the nine perfect pass routes are: Hard, Nightmare, Extremely Hard, Easy, Hard, Medium, Easy, Hard, Hard.]

[What is your choice?]

...

Seeing so many routes, Su Ming’an was instantly at a loss.

He left the blond youth aside and carefully read through this information.

The "Destroy the World" of TE1 was considered a regular, but this time the difficulty was no longer "Easy," but "Hard," indicating that the world of Luowasha was not as precarious as The World of Old Days, with no imminent crisis of destruction. Based on his current observations, Luowasha was indeed calm, without the omnipresent white-haired deity, nor someone squatting in the starry sky to peek.

But from Lv Shu’s intelligence, the "Game Day" is imminent, the Rin Clan’s emergence means the destruction crisis of the world is about to arrive, indicating troublesome matters are still ahead.

The "win the Disciple Game" of TE2 was a perfect pass route he had anticipated. But as for what the Disciple Game actually was, he still didn’t understand. As for the term "Dark Side," it was even more enigmatic.

"Mirror..." Su Ming’an thought of this keyword.

Judging by the "Nightmare" difficulty, this route was the highest difficulty path.

The "write a perfect story with SSS rating" of TE3 was straightforward and a standard pass route.

The "the Feaster at The Last Supper with twelve people and above" of TE4 wasn’t very clear in intention, but it reminded him of the bloody feasting banquet he had just seen, and the number of organizers, all being twelve people.

"The difficulty is easy..." Su Ming’an slightly furrowed his brow. Given the nature of the World Game, those twelve feasters definitely wouldn’t include him; he would definitely be at the dining table, so this wasn’t a good ending. Even if he did nothing, it would easily lead in this direction.

However, since this is considered a perfect pass method, it means it has some merit. Maybe after these twelve people finish eating him, the world would be saved.

... This way of passing, forget it then.

It seems he has to be careful about his circle of friends in the future, preferably not exceeding twelve people. Once this number is met, who knows what will happen.

The "stand at the top of the food chain" of TE5 looked like a hot-blooded adventure upgrade path, starting from a jellyfish’s infinite evolution, devouring and evolving all the way until finally reaching the top of the food chain as a Great Emperor.

The "create a perfect world-class card" of TE6 involves raising a card to max stars and full configuration. Whether it’s [Equipment], [Blessing of the World Tree], or [Glimpse of the Divine] are all maxed. It seems he needs to hand this to Xiao Ming, hoping Xiao Ming can reach the top of the world.

The "fulfill Sique Olivius’s wish" of TE7 was surprisingly "Easy" in difficulty. Su Ming’an probably doesn’t need to do anything, and Sique’s wish will be fulfilled.

Currently, Su Ming’an already knew that Sique is the yandere laughing at the bones in the opening CG, saying something like "now you are the most beautiful form." Could Sique’s wish be that everyone dies?

Su Ming’an possessed Su Liujin, not Sique. If that truly was one of the future possibilities foreseen by the Fun Demon, then such a tragic ending hasn’t appeared, and Sique should still be living well in this world. They will meet sooner or later.

"Strange, the Fun Demon previously called me ’Olivius,’ indicating that at least he is my original. So why didn’t I possess him?" Su Ming’an pondered: "Su Liujin’s note has a lively and cheerful tone, unlike my personality. Why did I possess Su Liujin? Is it just because of the Lighthouse Jellyfish?"

Unable to reach a conclusion, he could only look towards the next one.

The "increase Yijulai’er’s favorability to 100 points" of TE8. Su Ming’an didn’t know who Yijulai’er was, only that she was the pink-haired girl in the opening CG.

The "become a Happy Jellyfish" of TE9 was a dealing route, similar to the "build a happy family of four" in the Tenth World. If he chose to retreat, it would be such a vacation route.

After closing the panel, Su Ming’an’s thoughts were clear:

"If prioritizing, TE2 is the first, although challenging, it is the most critical. TE3 and TE6 are second, as they are standardized routes. TE5, TE7, and TE8 are third, with lesser information and targeted specificity. Lastly, there’s the world-destroying route of TE1, the being-eaten route of TE4, and the dealing route of TE9."

"It seems I need to focus on three things: 1. Win the Disciple Game. 2. Cultivate a card with care, and write a good story. 3. If possible, try interacting with Sique and Yijulai’er."

There aren’t many things he needs to do in this world, just wait for the Game Day to arrive, and along the way, collect some interesting Memory Clips. No need to strategize against enigmatic deities, nor to guard against the big blue eyeball in the starry sky, very light-hearted and pleasant.

Combined with the possibility that his identity is the legendary Lighthouse Jellyfish, with a friendly blond youth beside him...

This opening is fantastic... this opening is quite good.

He quickly selected the path he needed to take for now.

"Ding dong!"

...

[You have chosen TE2 · "They have waited too long for redemption."]

[Perfect Pass Task · First Ring: "Wait for Game Day to Arrive"

Task Requirement: Before the Game Day arrives, please enjoy your vacation life well.

Task Reward: Perfect Pass 5% Progress

Task Note: nobody hurt you will you will

Task Note: eat you want to everyone everyone

Task Note: please run escape lightheartedly and play happily!]

...

Su Ming’an stared at the strange task notes—what was going on? The World Game had a frame freeze?

There seemed to be an error mix between the words, was it two sentences merged into one?

"——How is it? Are you satisfied with the divination result?" Suddenly, the gentle voice of the blond youth came.

In an instant, under the swaying silver star-moon spoon in the tent, the youth’s blue eyes became vertical pupils like a hunter in the sea, but soon returned to his clear, smiling eyes.

"A bit unintelligible." Su Ming’an glanced at his card.

"I am skilled at interpreting divination results. Why don’t you let me take a look at the card to help with interpretation?" The blond youth showed a friendly smile, the previous trace of delight as if it never existed.

"No need, the Shrine Maiden can help interpret..." Su Ming’an turned his head, and the table was empty; the Shrine Maiden had disappeared.

In the dark room, smelling like burning tuberose, only the slightly glowing blue eyes remained beside him.
