becoming a Lord of the Fairy Wilderness was naturally no ordinary feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since her domain was closely connected to his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven had reason to believe that after their first meeting, she had already sent people to thoroughly investigate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just considering how generously she had acted, it was clear that her resources were vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven believed that magic items such as invisibility were likely not rare, especially for a Fae Race like the Pikespirit with innate stealth capabilities, making them natural spies and incredibly hard to guard against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his time in Eagle Cliff Burrow, Gaven had felt watched on several occasions, assuming it was the Young Red Copper Dragon at play—now it seems, it wasn’t so simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, things had been going too smoothly, and he had grown a bit careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this interaction, Lord Virginia was significantly warmer and more generous than the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Gaven had attributed it to his extraordinary Charisma; now, it appeared that it wasn’t about that at all, but rather that she had recognized his value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Gaven was prepared to remain silent on the matter, as this topic, once mishandled, could potentially lead to a complete breakdown of discussions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Influenced by the ancient Crown Wars, Elves held deep abhorrence toward war, especially wars waged for conquest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the Yaling were particularly extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their desire to withdraw from the Crown Wars, they had intentionally destroyed and closed most of the veils leading to Felen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then another thought occurred to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the profound expertise of Lord Virginia in prophecies and her remarks about being a Fate Reshaper, perhaps he could approach her from this angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he couldn’t bring her into his camp, he needed to turn her into an ally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her support behind the scenes, it would bring him closer to securing a foothold in the Rocklands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Gaven immediately adopted a solemn, profound expression and said, “Lord, since you’ve asked about this matter, I cannot help but bring up the Fate Reshaper you mentioned last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, I have something I didn’t tell you before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since I was a child, I’ve been having the same dream repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dream, the earth cracks, the sky tears apart, and blue flames engulf both the heavens and the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless lives perish in this apocalyptic calamity, as insignificant as ants…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the midst of it all, a voice guides me, leading me thousands of miles from Thacel to this desolate land, in search of a way to redeem all beings…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, this is what you referred to as fate, or perhaps our meeting is also arranged by fate…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words were half-truths and half-lies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of dreams and fate, he told his most genuine experiences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the expression of Lord Virginia also turned very somber, for she had divined Gaven’s fortune several times before, with consistent results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bore a heavy fate, the specifics of which were far beyond her abilities to ascertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All she could see was endless blood and fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But someone like Lord Virginia wouldn’t believe Gaven based solely on his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she extended her hand and said, “If you trust me, take my hand and recall your dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would like to experience it for myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caught Gaven off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To reach out or not to reach out was the dilemma he faced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Virginia slightly frowned and said, “Is it inconvenient?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Gaven’s hesitation had aroused her suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” Gaven decided, gritting his teeth and stomping his foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since his experiences were real, at worst, he would just recall his own personal experiences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t believe that Lord Virginia would really have the power to breach the protection of the Tears of Sulun and see through his ancestry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she did, he would accept it, signifying she was indeed a formidable ally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their interactions so far, Lord Virginia didn’t seem like a difficult person to get along with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven reached out and took her hand proactively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as their hands touched, they both involuntarily shivered as if shocked by electricity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was definitely not as simple as a handshake, but a true, soul-touching experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaven dared not entertain any stray thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He collected all his random musings and focused on a single thing: the memory of the Arcane Catastrophe, that world-destroying vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Arcane Catastrophe, also known as the Magic Plague.\u003C\u002Fp>",1225,"2026-06-06T12:33:11.058Z",1,"novelbin.me","faaca007383180f3ead289d445a746cf71eae98769c021666235e4e83207c8e2","farming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-chapter-208","farming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-chapter-171",2384,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffarming-in-a-parallel-world-and-becoming-a-god-cover.jpg"]
