1527 Face the Divine Masters

Old Madam Jing had already thought it through. If Jing Jiaren could successfully obtain the recognition of the deceased predecessors during the Face the Divine Masters ceremony and obtain their divination power, Old Madam Jing would restore her position as the young master. In that case, she could be considered to have made up for her mistake.

Jing Jiaren had always been ambitious. She also wanted to take this opportunity to regain her position as the young master.

Therefore, when she found out that she still had a chance to face the Divine Masters, Jing Jiaren was so excited that she didn’t sleep well the entire night. In order to hide her dark circles, she even put on smokey eye makeup today.

When she heard Prime Emperor Divine Miracle mention her, Jing Jiaren’s heart suddenly raced.

She took a small step forward and bowed to Prime Emperor Divine Miracle respectfully. When she raised her head, she heard the Prime Emperor Divine Miracle say, “Originally, I wasn’t very satisfied with you either. In order to obtain the so-called ‘Divination Ultimate Art’, your family sent several batches of descendants to the inner academy. Among the many Jing family disciples I’ve seen, you’re not the one I admire the most. To be honest, you’re still inferior to your aunt, Jing Rujiu. Although you were both the young masters of the Jing family, your aunt was braver and more benevolent. As for you, although you’re brave and intelligent, you’re not an outstanding clairvoyant. You’re the most qualified successor of the Jing family, but you definitely aren’t the most outstanding clairvoyant of the Jing family.”

Upon hearing this, Jing Jiaren’s eyes flickered with tears. Then, she bit her lip and asked in a low voice, “Lord, have you seen my aunt before?”

Old Madam Jing froze.

Hearing Jing Jiaren’s question, Old Madam Jing pricked up her ears.

“I have.” Prime Emperor Divine Miracle didn’t intend to elaborate on how he met Jing Rujiu, but he continued, “Jing Jiaren, regardless of whether you admit it or not, I’m certain that if you and Yu Huang didn’t take the initiative to withdraw from the competition that day, if you two were at loggerheads on the arena, in the end, the title of Saintess would still not have gone to you.”

Prime Emperor Divine Miracle confirmed Yu Huang’s strength, which was far above Jing Jiaren’s.

Jing Jiaren turned around and looked at Yu Huang. However, she saw that Yu Huang’s expression was calm and she wasn’t smug about Prime Emperor Divine Miracle’s praise. Jing Jiaren calmed down again.

“However, it was precisely because you took the initiative to withdraw from the competition that day that I saw the kindness one should have as a clairvoyant. You might not be as outstanding as your aunt, but you were able to fulfill your duty as a clairvoyant. Therefore, I gave you an additional chance to face the Divine Masters.”

“Jing Jiaren, I’m willing to give you this chance. Whether you can succeed depends on yourself.”

Jing Jiaren knelt down in front of Song Ji. “Thank you for your appreciation, Lord. I’m eternally grateful that you’re willing to give me this chance.” With that said, Jing Jiaren looked at Yu Huang again.

There was arrogance, battle intent, and provocation in her eyes. “Yu Huang, I will do my best.”

Yu Huang wasn’t angry.

She nodded and said, “I wish you the best.”

Jing Jiaren nodded with a complicated expression. After she walked past Prime Emperor Divine Miracle and entered the main entrance of the Divination Star Tower, she walked up the stairs and went to the top floor of the Divination Star Tower.

The top floor was very empty. In the wide room, there was an ancient solid wooden table with a thick ancient book on it. It was probably the legendary “The Possibility of God’s Prophet”.

Above the Divination Star Tower, there was a starry sky image created by an array formation. Standing under the starry sky image, Jing Jiaren had the illusion that she was in the galaxy. She took a deep breath and strode towards the table. With piousness and excitement, she extended her right hand towards the book.

The handwriting on the cover of the book was already mottled. On it was written “On the Possibility of God’s Prophet.”

After Jing Jiaren opened the book, she realized that there was only one sentence written repeatedly in the thick book—

Jing Jiaren fell silent when she saw this question.

This was the content of the thesis? No wonder every generation’s holy child and saintess had complicated expressions when they left the top floor of the Divination Star Tower and never revealed the contents of the thesis to outsiders. Jing Jiaren had also asked Old Madam Jing about the contents of the thesis, but Old Madam Jing always said mysteriously, “You’ll know when you see it with your own eyes.”

At that time, Jing Jiaren thought that the content of the thesis was very profound, so her grandmother refused to talk about it.

From the looks of it, her grandmother simply didn’t want to talk about it.

Who would have thought that Prime Emperor Divine Miracle’s thesis, which all the clairvoyants wanted to read desperately, only had this sentence?

If he wanted to fool people, he should have at least made up a story.

But since this question was raised, Jing Jiaren had to answer it.

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed across her mind.

Should she believe it or not?

Different answers would bring her different results. If she answered wrongly, she wouldn’t have a chance.

Jing Jiaren suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, as if she was being pressed by a huge rock. Before she could feel the pain, she suddenly heard a beeping sound, like the sound of a second hand turning.

The Divination Star Tower was counting down for her.

Jing Jiaren suddenly raised her head and looked at the star image above her head. Every time the second hand rang, there would be one less star. When all the stars disappeared, if she still couldn’t give an answer, she would be eliminated.

Soon, there were only a few stars left.

In the last two seconds, Jing Jiaren suddenly said, “I believe it.”

Then, Jing Jiaren saw that the contents of the book had changed. A new question replaced the previous one and appeared on the paper—

“Do you believe in the existence of God?”

This time, there was no sound of a countdown, but the handwriting on the paper was slowly disappearing. Realizing that if she couldn’t give an answer before the handwriting disappeared, she would fail, Jing Jiaren could only follow her intuition and pretend to be calm as she said, “Yes.”

The words froze for a moment before changing the question again: “When you foresaw the extinction of the unicorn clan, was the first thought that appeared in your mind to withdraw from the competition or write down ]the contents of the prophecy and get full marks?”

Jing Jiaren narrowed her eyes and suddenly fell silent.

She seemed to have returned to the venue of the second round of the final competition again. She returned to the conflicting moment when she foresaw the calamity of the unicorn clan.

The handwriting on the book began to fade bit by bit.

It was like there was a sword hanging above Jing Jiaren’s head, stabbing towards her head bit by bit and forcing her to make a decision.

When Jing Jiaren thought of Song Yuhe’s ending, she suddenly clenched her fists and said loudly, “I wanted to write a perfect answer to get full marks, but seeing Yu Huang take the initiative to withdraw from the competition reminded me of the person I admired the most. I wanted to become someone like her, so I realized that I couldn’t remain silent anymore and should expose the hypocritical nature of the clairvoyant association with Yu Huang. That’s why I withdrew after Yu Huang withdrew from the competition.”
