When "God" Decides To Start Over

Chapter 217 Wan Chaoxin Gives a Gift_2


Li Xiu came back just to see what the president of Longevity Heaven looks like, and then to see what he wants to divine.

"What are they doing?" Li Xiu walked on the main street of Longevity City and saw quite a few demon spirits pulling large and small carts, cartloads of things heading towards the northern district of the city.

He had not walked far before already seeing four or five groups of people.

Sha Chu shook her head. She also didn't know what they were doing.

"They're going to divine words." A man's voice came from beside them.

Li Xiu and Sha Chu turned to look and found the speaker was Mo Liu, accompanied by that Sun Gang they had met before.

"Divine words?" Li Xiu thought of Old Eight.

Mo Liu came over to explain, "Yes, it's divining words to ask about fortune. Longevity City runs a fortune every sixty years, divining the celestial secret once each cycle. Before each divination of the celestial secret, these prestigious great clans always go to invite the Celestial Master to divine their family's fortune, hoping the next cycle will still be prosperous."

"Hmph, is that really fortune-telling? It should be called fortune-buying instead." Sun Gang said disdainfully.

"What is fortune-buying? Can fortune still be bought? Does that Celestial Master have great methods to change one's fate?" Sha Chu asked in surprise.

"Whether there are great methods to change fate, I don't know, but among the eight great families of the past, two declined rapidly after some unfavorable prophecies related to them appeared during the divination."

Listening to Sun Gang, Li Xiu and Sha Chu understood.

These great families, in name, spend big money to have the Celestial Master divine words and ask about fortunes, but in reality, they just hope the Celestial Master doesn't mention prophecies related to them during the divination of celestial secrets.

"Doesn't the president know about these things?" Sha Chu felt it was a bit unbelievable.

Such a powerful organization capable of controlling the world from behind the scenes decides the rise and fall of families in such a bizarre manner—it's simply absurd.

"It's because the president believes in this, so there's a divination of celestial secrets every cycle. Otherwise, who would divine this stuff?" Sun Gang was evidently very dissatisfied with the divination of celestial secrets.

"Sun Gang, don't talk nonsense." Seeing Sun Gang getting more absurd, Mo Liu hurriedly stopped him.

Although Sun Gang was very dissatisfied, he knew it was inappropriate to speak like this, so he stopped talking.

"What are you going to do?" Li Xiu sized the two of them up and asked.

"Going to divine words and ask for auspiciousness." Mo Liu replied with a smile.

"Aren't you guys skeptical about this?" Sha Chu looked at Sun Gang unexpectedly.

"Believing or not is one thing, but going is another." Mo Liu said, "Moreover, the Celestial Master has just returned, and it's important to show some concern."

"Who exactly is this Celestial Master?" To Li Xiu, he increasingly seemed like Old Eight, but he couldn't sense Old Eight being so capable.

"The Celestial Master's surname is Yu and is respectfully called Eighth Lord." Mo Liu said.

"It really is Old Eight." Li Xiu wasn't surprised, thought for a moment and asked, "Can you take me along?"

"You can certainly go, just afraid you might not be able to enter." Mo Liu said.

"Why? You guys are bringing so many gifts, would the Celestial Master really turn you away?" Sha Chu asked in disbelief.

Sun Gang snorted and said, "They usually only receive patriarchs; people like us who go to divine words on our own often can't even get through the door. They only collect the items, let servants take the characters to be divined in, and we can only wait outside for the prophecies. Moreover, they only write the prophecies and don't interpret them. You have to guess the meaning yourself."

"Surely, this money is too easy to earn." Hearing this, Li Xiu felt he should definitely take a trip.

Old Eight actually holds such a position within Longevity Heaven, with everyone throwing money at him; this older brother spending a little from him, treating him a couple meals shouldn't be too much.

Li Xiu let Sha Chu go handle things first, while he followed Mo Liu and Sun Gang to the Celestial Master Institute.

The Mo Family and Sun Family had others to seek the Celestial Master for fortune-telling. Mo Liu and Sun Gang were just representing their own parents' generation and couldn't represent the entire Mo Family and Sun Family.

Thus, the gifts they prepared weren't many, just one box of gemstones each.

Arriving outside the Celestial Master Institute's gate, they found people lined up were already queued to the alley entrance, with many pulling carts full of gifts.

Li Xiu looked ahead and surprisingly saw a familiar face; Wan Chaoxin was also in line.

Wan Chaoxin had a keen sense, and while Li Xiu was looking at him, he seemed to sense it and turned back to glance at Li Xiu.

Seeing it was Li Xiu, Wan Chaoxin said a few words to the person beside him, seemingly instructing the person to continue queuing, while he himself walked over.

"Commander Li, we meet again." Wan Chaoxin came to Li Xiu, seemingly more friendly than before.

"Better not to meet; I don't want someone shooting arrows at me anytime." Li Xiu said lightly.

"Commander Li is joking. I didn't know your identity before and have been offensive, please forgive me..." Wan Chaoxin said, approaching two steps closer and lowered his voice, "Commander Li, you are currently in great danger. If you don't believe me, you can check Demon Armor Group's accounts, there must be some clues. If you need help, feel free to come to the Wan Family."

After speaking, Wan Chaoxin stepped back two steps, resumed normal volume, and said with a smile, "I've already queued there. If you don't mind, why don't we go in together?"
