Tarot cards!

Tarot divination?

The word "Tarot" sounds very similar to how it's pronounced on Earth.

Most importantly, the cards themselves look very similar too!

He frowned, pondering this so-called Tarot card divination.

Very quickly, he recalled the origins of these Tarot cards!

This was no orthodox divine divination of any faith, nor some relic of antiquity, but rather, over a hundred and seventy years ago, a Republic's ruler, Luo Saier...

The key point was that this Mr. Luo Saier also invented the steam engine, improved the sailing ship, overthrew the rule of the Intis Kingdom, received the recognition of the "God of Craftsmen" Church, and became the Chief Executive of the new Republic!

Luo Saier also invented Tarot divination, laying down the gameplay and composition of playing cards—such as Upgrades, Fight the Landlord, Texas Hold'em, Gwent…

Additionally, amid storms and turbulent currents, he found the sea route leading to the Southern Continent, ushering in the Age of Colonization!

It's just a pity that in his old age, he was betrayed. In the year 1198 of the Fifth Epoch, betrayed by the Henglieyang Sect, the Wang Zu of Intis, and the nobility, he perished at White Maple Palace!

All of this…

Recalling the deeds of Luo Saier in his mind, he suddenly felt a bit speechless…

Damn it!

This Luo Saier couldn't be a fellow transmigrator, could he?

And at this moment, throughout The Myriad Heavens and Worlds, countless people who saw this all burst out laughing!

"Good lord, one world, two transmigrators? By the way, this Luo Saier didn't do so well, did he?"

"Got backstabbed? Tsk, tsks, truly disgraceful for a transmigrator!"

"He's also a transmigrator, yet Luo Saier ended up this miserable? He ruled a new kingdom, and still got killed by a backstab? Tsk, tsks, embarrassing!"

"So embarrassing! By the way, is it really true that there are two transmigrators in one world? Why does it feel a bit eerie?"

"Two transmigrators? And Luo Saier even died? Well, looking at it now, transmigrators aren't necessarily children of fortune either!"

"Although he's not a child of fortune, transmigrators really can change a lot of things! Just like this Luo Saier—the steam engine, improved sailing ships, overthrowing the ruling power, inventing all sorts of things. You could say this plagiarist lived a truly comfortable life. Even if he hadn't overthrown the ruling power, just living on like that would have been fine too, quite an achievement!"

"By the way, doesn't this world have a cultivation system? This Klein? He doesn't cultivate?"

"Mm, perhaps this is related to Klein's suicide. Also, that fortune-transferring ritual of Klein's must be very important too!"

"Indeed, it all depends on his performance going forward. Anyway, for now, he looks utterly unremarkable!"

At this moment, throughout The Myriad Heavens and Worlds, countless people were discussing.

And just at this moment, in the picture…

Along with Zhou Mingrui—that is, Klein's—pondering, the woman's hoarse voice soon rose eerily: "My divinations are very accurate. Mm, you're the first to come for a divination, so it's free!"

"Free?"

Zhou Mingrui smiled. He knew that the free things were always the most expensive!

He made up his mind that no matter what paid services came up next, he would refuse them all!

He refused to believe this woman could divine that he was a transmigrator.

Thinking of this, he saw the woman bring out a table covered in playing cards.

He shuffled the deck, cut the deck, and very quickly, he drew a card!

What he wanted to divine was the past, the present, and the future!

In the end, he drew three cards—one representing the past, one representing the present, and one representing the future!

Flipping over the present card, it was a Fool card!

Zhou Mingrui looked at the Fool card and began to interpret it automatically. The so-called Fool card, was it Sequence 0? Representing the beginning? Encompassing all possible beginnings?

He pondered, but still couldn't make heads or tails of it.

He couldn't really be called an enthusiast of Tarot cards.

Just as he was about to ask the woman to interpret it…

However, just at this moment…

"Why are you impersonating me again? Divination for people is my job! Remember, you're just a beast tamer!"

An angry roar from a woman came over.

Zhou Mingrui was speechless.

Good lord, so this woman was an impostor?

Only now did he notice that the woman was also wearing a pointed hat.

She was just taller and thinner!

That woman gave an awkward smile and quickly left the tent.

Finally, the woman who had arrived later walked in.

"Sir, would you like me to interpret it for you?" The real diviner looked at Zhou Mingrui and asked.

"Is it free?" Zhou Mingrui asked.

"No…" the diviner replied!

"Goodbye!"

Zhou Mingrui turned and left, chuckling wryly.

However, he truly had no money.

He couldn't waste money on this kind of divination!

He still had to buy groceries!

Money really didn't last.

Let alone the money his brother had given him, even the single copper coin in his pocket had been spent.

However, it was fortunate that with the staple food, he could now perform the fortune-transfer ritual!

Very quickly, Zhou Mingrui returned to his room.

After calming himself for a few minutes, he finally took steps with a solemn gait, walking counter-clockwise in a square!

With the first step, he softly chanted: "Fusheng Xuanhuang Immortal Venerable!"

On the second step, he sincerely chanted again: "Fusheng Xuanhuang Heavenly Lord!"

On the third step, he held his breath and focused his mind: "Fusheng Xuanhuang Supreme Emperor!"

On the fourth step, he took a deep breath: "Fusheng Xuanhuang Heavenly Venerable!"

Having completed the four steps, he finished the silent recitation.

Only then did Zhou Mingrui close his eyes, waiting, hoping, wishing to return!

However, in the next second, he felt a moment of disorientation and suddenly found himself in a place filled everywhere with gray fog!

Within the gray fog, countless deep red stars were scattered, some large and some small!

"What is this situation?" Zhou Mingrui was dumbfounded.

This was supposed to be just a fortune-transfer ritual, yet unexpectedly, he had directly arrived at this so-called land of gray fog?

What the hell is this?

Subconsciously, he reached out to touch those stars, but the moment he made contact, he felt something eerie and hastily withdrew his hand, only to accidentally touch another star!

Immediately afterward, those two stars burst forth with brilliant light, and Zhou Mingrui felt his mind go blank and his spirit scatter!

At the same time, in two different locations within this world, gray fog likewise enveloped the area, scarlet light appeared, and in an instant, it swallowed two people!

Above that vast expanse of white-gray fog.

Enveloped by the gray fog, Zhou Mingrui looked somewhat stunned at the two other people who had suddenly appeared before him.

Two people likewise covered by the gray fog!

Zhou Mingrui was dumbstruck!

"Your Excellency, where is this?" a man's voice sounded deeply.

"What do you intend to do?" a panicked female voice followed immediately!

Zhou Mingrui looked at the two people before him, his mind racing rapidly.

Clearly, he had pulled these two people up because of the stars he had touched earlier.

Thus, these two had appeared!

Now, he had two choices: either pretend to be a victim, or maintain a mysterious image to gain intelligence value...

With no time to think further, he finally decided to attempt the second option...

He pondered for a few seconds; under the influence of the gray fog, no one could know what he was thinking, so Zhou Mingrui merely chuckled twice and spoke lightly: "An experiment!"

As soon as these words were uttered, the two immediately sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.
