Batty opened his eyes, and once again found himself in the luxurious Twelve Zodiac Star Disc, under the beautiful celestial vault with twinkling stars and the round table.

The place was bright but not dazzling, like a realm of bliss.

Touching this lavish chair and table would bring severe punishment to Roto, such as having his hand chopped off.

In the starry sky, twelve constellations were rotating; by spiritually sensing one of the constellations, other members can be called. Of course, a response is needed from the other party, otherwise, it won't be completed.

Batty looked at these constellations and ultimately chose Mr. Gemini. Miss Aries... the pressure was too much, he didn't know what to say, Mr. Cancer seemed not to like anyone getting close, Mr. Taurus and Mr. Gemini seemed more suitable, from the age perspective, he felt closer to Mr. Gemini.

Li Xin was training with Simmons when he suddenly sensed the call from the Star Disc... it seemed there was one yesterday, but in the busyness it was forgotten. Now there's another call, so it's likely urgent.

"Young Master Simmons, you all continue practicing, I am going to relax for a bit." Li Xin said, striking a squat pose.

The toilets at the Canon Law School are rather good, even prepared with water for washing, although Li Xin didn't actually go to the toilet but found a room, locked the door, took out the Spirit Ointment, and sprinkled an array on the ground. Although the Canon Law School isn't unsafe, it's better to be prepared. After finishing, he sat down inside.

The next moment, he responded to the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc's call.

Batty waited very patiently, although a bit nervous, Mr. Gemini had reminded him that the called person also needed preparation time.

With a wave of glowing brilliance, Li Xin appeared on Gemini's high-backed chair, a slight surprise on his face as he saw Mr. Leo in front of him — he thought it would be Miss Aries.

"Hello, Mr. Leo, what brings you to me?" Li Xin asked.

Batty quickly stood up, "Sorry to bother you, Mr. Gemini, I tried to summon you."

Li Xin knew Leo likely experienced intense psychological conflict and smiled, "Thank you for your trust; how are you feeling now?"

"Very anxious, but unable to control my desires."

Li Xin nodded, "It seems you've already made a decision."

"Yes, Mr. Gemini, I believe this isn't an illusion, nor is it a fall. I want to find a way to leave Mist Continent," Batty said, "it's not just for me; I want to find a path out for the people of Divpo City."

"That's good, but it needs careful consideration; firstly, ensure safety. Your Divine Relic allowed you to die and be reborn once, but it doesn't guarantee a second time, and from your description, Divpo City's rules are strict — must be cautious. As long as you live, there's always a chance."

"Okay, Mr. Gemini, but right now I can't return to the city. Without the city's call, I might have to stay in the lighthouse until death. Sneaking back would implicate many people." Batty said, truly at a loss.

"Let's think of a solution together; there are always more methods than problems. How's your current situation?" Li Xin asked.

"Apart from the increasingly strong mutterings, everything else is fine." Batty replied.

"How do you usually counteract the mutterings?" Li Xin really hadn't experienced them; pain can be endured, but tempting mutterings seem more troublesome to hear.

"Our training is to focus attention on a specific object, letting the mind go blank." Batty said.

This was indeed a method; Li Xin tapped the table, he hadn't experienced mutterings and didn't know what method could resist them, nor the source of the mutterings — Batty said it was a divine curse, but it was too vague.

Knock knock knock...

Accompanied by rhythmic tapping, a sudden inspiration struck Li Xin's mind, "Mr. Leo, I have an idea that might alleviate the mutterings' intrusion."

Batty was speaking casually but paused at hearing this — alleviate the mutterings???

This is a problem Divpo City hadn't solved for a millennium, punishment from the supreme will, even the Tri-god couldn't do anything.

"Mr. Leo, do you have wood there?"

"Wood?" Batty paused, "There's lots of dark wind wood."

"That's good, when I finish, I'll call you." Li Xin said, mainly because he recalled the title of Leo's Divine Relic — Death and Life, Great Compassion and Great Mercy Heavenly Mother Blade — and then thought of wooden fish, there might be some connection.

Batty stood up and bowed.

Li Xin waved his hand, "We're all friends of the Round Table Conference; helping each other is expected. I'm not sure if it'll work, but trying won't hurt. If there's nothing else, let's meet next time; I still have unfinished matters."

"Okay, Mr. Gemini."

"Until next time, Mr. Leo." Li Xin's consciousness sank, leaning back on the chair, disappearing from the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc.

Batty mimicked Mr. Gemini's posture, leaned back, and with a gentle movement, he found himself back at the lighthouse when he opened his eyes.

Looking at the burning torch and the still dark fog outside the lighthouse, Batty cracked a big smile, never had he felt life was filled with such hope.

...

"Brother Li, toilet escape?" Rock yelled, "Haha, I said he felt the pressure I bring, Lancer, you'd better be careful; I feel the position of vice-captain is getting closer to me."

"Bulls***, with one hand I can deal with you!" Lancer retorted, not convinced verbally, but honestly a bit scared — Rock was progressing the fastest among them, feeling completely in line with Li Xin's style, purely attacking and taking blows, yet noticeably improving.
