Chapter 903: Emos

As Xu Jingming was immersed in those eyes, fragments of images appeared in Emos's gaze.

Awakening of ability, college entrance exam, wilderness zone, Freshman Competition...

Past scenes flashed rapidly; Emos, through the Eye of Fate, saw Xu Jingming's past.

The images kept flickering, soon syncing to the moment when he entered the temple and was observed by her.

But when she tried to see further into Xu Jingming's future, the scene abruptly turned black, becoming chaotic.

"Hm? I can't see his future?"

Emos's delicate eyebrows lifted slightly, her fair face showing a hint of astonishment.

Know that

Her Eye of Fate was an SSS-grade ability!

Even facing other ability users of the same level, she could briefly glimpse fragments of their futures.

This situation with Xu Jingming was unprecedented.

"High Priestess, is something wrong?"

Xu Jingming, now free from the influence of the Eye of Fate, spoke up.

Meanwhile, the Moon Shadow Cleric beside her looked slightly surprised.

The High Priestess's Eye of Fate exerted immense pressure.

Even ordinary ninth-rank ability users needed a long time to adjust upon first encountering it.

Yet Xu Jingming had adapted so quickly.

"Your future is a chaos—I cannot see it."

Emos shook her head softly, "As for your past, I found nothing unusual."

"Cannot see it?"

Xu Jingming was surprised; he hadn't expected this outcome.

Not detecting anything unusual in his past meant Emos hadn't seen his past-life memories either.

"What I see as fate is merely one possibility of the future.

I intended to offer advice based on the future I saw, but now it seems impossible."

High Priestess Emos rewrapped her eyes with silk ribbons, the beautiful amber eyes vanishing:

"But for you, this isn't bad news—it likely means your future achievements are beyond even my prediction."

"Thank you, High Priestess," Xu Jingming said quickly.

He didn't know if it was because of his system or if Emos truly couldn't see his future.

But not seeing it didn't matter—with the Deep Blue, he would sweep aside all enemies.

"Hmm." Emos nodded slightly, "Moon Shadow, take him for the Core Member rating certification."

"Yes, Teacher."

The Moon Shadow Cleric led Xu Jingming away respectfully.

"A person whose future cannot be predicted..."

On the ornate chair, Emos quietly watched Xu Jingming's retreating back.

About herself, other supreme beings, even the entire Blue Star's humanity,

she had once used her Eye of Fate to predict.

But the result was always the same: destroyed by the Molten Colossus.

Moreover, the Molten Colossus's emergence node came earlier than in either of the two previous civilizations!

She couldn't see the exact time, but it certainly wouldn't be a hundred years from now.

It could be twenty years, ten years, or even the next instant.

Everything... cannot be predicted...

"I hope your appearance brings some change to the future."

Long after, Emos finally withdrew her gaze and sighed softly.

As the possessor of the Eye of Fate who could see the future, her burden far exceeded that of ordinary supreme beings.

"Before your ability evolved, it was S-rank 'Doushen Divine Thunder.'

In the First Civilization, a supreme being named Lei Shen possessed the same ability.

In our Firebrand Temple, we have recorded one SSS-grade movement technique of his: 'Lightning Flash Evasion Art.'

After you pass the certification, you may take it and learn it."

As they left the hall and walked toward the outer zone, the Moon Shadow Cleric smiled and said:

"SSS-grade movement technique of the lightning element?" Xu Jingming's eyes lit up instantly.

Movement techniques were crucial for both close combat and ranged attacks.

A good movement technique could even turn the tide of battle!

But lightning-element movement techniques were extremely rare—he had only learned one S+ rank, Illusory Thunder Step.

And since he had already maxed out Illusory Thunder Step, it was no worse than an S-rank movement technique, so he hadn't wasted ability points to learn an S-rank one.

Now, he had the chance to learn an SSS-grade movement technique—also from Lei Shen!

"By the way, our Second Civilization once left behind a legacy of Lei Shen on the Blue Star.

But the AI managing that legacy has gone offline; otherwise, I could have given you that legacy too."

The Moon Shadow Cleric smiled.

His attitude was extremely friendly, showing no trace of arrogance from a ninth-rank peak ability user.

Of course, this likely also had to do with Xu Jingming's astonishing performance before Emos.

"I have that legacy." Xu Jingming replied.

The AI the Moon Shadow Cleric mentioned must be Da Yeva.

"Oh? You have it? Good."

The Moon Shadow Cleric nodded with a smile, "Our Firebrand Temple has an upper ninth-rank S-rank Lightning Elemental Saint.

He also learned this 'Lightning Flash Evasion Art.' If you wish, I can introduce you to him.

He can teach you some cultivation tips so you can master this technique quickly."

Xu Jingming paused, then finally shook his head:

"Thank you for your kindness, Cleric, but I don't need guidance from others for now."

He wouldn't accept favors without earning them.

He didn't want to owe others unnecessary debts.

More importantly, mastering an SSS-grade movement technique wasn't difficult.

With his current experience in lightning techniques, he could grasp the basics in just a few hours.

Then he could simply use the system to add points.

Hearing this, the Moon Shadow Cleric frowned slightly.

It was normal for prodigies to be proud, but mastering an SSS-grade technique without a master's guidance was extremely difficult.

Xu Jingming's stance showed extreme self-confidence.

Whatever. He could always come to me later when he hits a wall.

Thinking this, he relaxed his brow and said:

"Fine. If you encounter difficulties later while cultivating this technique, come find me—I'll help you get introduced."

Hearing this, Xu Jingming was slightly surprised.

He hadn't expected this ninth-rank peak Moon Shadow Cleric to be so approachable, so he bowed respectfully:

"Thank you, Cleric, for your consideration."

"No need to thank me. Let's go."

The Moon Shadow Cleric waved his hand.

After leaving the inner zone, the Moon Shadow Cleric seemed to receive a message and had to leave temporarily.

So, once again, Meng Yu led Xu Jingming and the other two toward the Core Member rating certification site.
