Chapter 3551

Luvia noticed Xia De's gaze and teased him with the question. Xia De did not deny it, but instead asked with confusion:

"Did you find these uses for the 【Fate Pedestal】 yourself?"

Regardless of legality, most Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi organizations do not casually open information on Sage-level and above relics for members to browse at will. Of course, if one knows the name and wishes to inquire, it is possible after submitting an application. As for Unknown-grade relics, many low-ring mages have not even heard of this grade.

Luvia shook her head:

"Of course not, I dreamed of them. I have said before that my dreams are very powerful precognitive dreams; I believe this is my talent. Alright, let us not talk about this anymore. We still have to eat after the divination; this is the most sumptuous dinner before leaving home."

Her fingers nimbly picked up the 【Dragon Blood Treasure Coin】 within the purple halo. After closing her eyes, she gave it a light flick, and the coin, with its purple-glowing surface, flew high into the air. But this time, it did not scatter into ash during its descent, but instead scattered into purple light spots.

Luvia opened her eyes, her expression looking quite relaxed:

"Sure enough, even the mental expenditure has become smaller."

"Then, what exactly is the fate that has been fixed in the Star Fall Bay region?"

Luvia's purple eyes gazed at Xia De:

"War."

"What?"

"When Kassenrik unified the south, it was the only place that did not let the chaos of war involve the Duchy of Lagson. When outsiders invaded Fatumunster Island, although there were conflicts with the locals, no shocking war broke out.

Xia De, large-scale war has never appeared in the Star Fall Bay region. The fate of war is frozen here and no longer flows; it is a region undisturbed by the fate of war."

Xia De looked down at the cat obediently lying on his lap, then looked up at Luvia:

"If I deal with that fallen star, does it mean that the fate of war will no longer avoid Star Fall Bay from now on? It is currently the eve of the Old Continent's North-South War; I cannot do that."

Luvia, however, shook her head:

"That letter stated it very clearly: the fallen star transformed into a beast. That is a fragment of the starry sky, a beast symbolizing the fate of war. Dealing with it will cause Star Fall Bay to potentially face war; if you do not deal with it, guess what will happen?"

Seeing Xia De pursing his lips without speaking, Luvia added:

"That thing possesses the power of stars and fate. Its main body is like a rhinoceros, but there is a ring known as the 'Ring of War' on its chest; that is the true body of the 'Star Fall Beast'... It sounds similar to the ancient anecdote I mentioned earlier.

Only by killing the Star Fall Beast can that ring be shattered, which is equivalent to directly smashing the frozen fate. This is what you need to do, or rather, what this scene of the story needs to do."

In Luvia's view, the composition of this scene of the story was relatively simple. Problems left over from the ancient era needing to be resolved during the Chosen One ritual was a very common occurrence.

"By the way, this scene is indeed related to dice. You remember the Fate Dice, they are frozen fate, right?"

"Yes."

"The Star Fall Beast is also frozen fate, and the only difference is that your Fate Dice are only tiny fates, while the Star Fall Beast is a product born from a vast fate. But because of this reason, after defeating the Star Fall Beast, everyone holding a Snake Skin will see information related to the 'Fate Dice' on the Snake Skin; this is a step in the ritual.

Additionally, when the Star Fall Beast dies and the 'Ring' shatters, it will likely produce a few extra dice. After a vast fate is smashed, tiny fates will remain, so this scene is indeed related to dice."

Luvia explained it this way, then frowned, recalling some of the strange actions of the Lenormand Association President that Xia De had mentioned when they met:

"Frozen fate... tiny fate... dice, rings..."

Xia De, however, did not consider so much:

"If, and I mean if I could use some means to strip it out after dealing with the Star Fall Beast, before the 'Ring' shatters due to the Star Fall Beast's death, then what would happen?"

Luvia asked quite seriously:

"This is extremely difficult. This is stripping away fate to let it manifest independently... Do you want to become the King of War?"

"What? No, no, of course not. I just thought, if that ring is not shattered, war still won't disturb Star Fall Bay... Holding that 'Ring' would grant one such powerful fate, is that correct?"

"Of course."

Seeing Luvia nod, Xia De asked again:

"Then can it be sealed? Since that ring can be materialized independently, my 【Kiss of the Tree】 should be able to seal it."

But Luvia still shook her head:

"The frozen fate has already merged with Star Fall Bay. One must kill the Star Fall Beast to shatter the ring, or strip it away and let it merge with someone to become that person's fate, for the Chosen One ritual to continue. You can understand it as an embolism in a blood vessel; for fate to circulate, such a thing cannot exist."

The reason Luvia thought the structure of this scene was simple was also simple, because she knew where the thing she called the "Star Fall Beast" was now.

It is hard to imagine that a coin could divine so many things, even with the assistance of the 【Fate Pedestal】. Xia De even guessed whether the long-haired Luvia was taking this opportunity to leak information.

"There is a natural cave in the northwest part of Fatumunster Island. Entering the cave will lead deep underground into the island, and from there, one can reach the location in the center of the bay where the star fell.

That is not a normal space, so even if you dig through the seabed, you won't find it. I will mark the point on the map for you in a moment. As for whether you want to wait until I reach the island to take action, or do it tomorrow, decide for yourself.

I am not very sure how powerful the Star Fall Beast is, but it certainly masters the powers of stars, fate, gravity, and space, so remember to bring enough 13th-ring mages before going."

According to the information Luvia provided, Xia De could even launch a night raid on the Star Fall Beast's nest and resolve it before midnight. But he always felt that this matter should not be so easily handled. Obtaining the answer through Luvia counted as "cheating"; there must be other ways to learn these secrets and find the "Star Fall Beast" on the seabed.

And since a method exists, someone must be searching for it or even already in contact with it. Everyone can realize how precious a materialized "Ring of Fate" is. And although Luvia did not speak very clearly, Xia De could also understand that if someone really mastered that "Ring of Fate," that person would likely become a quite formidable existence.

"Since there is a Ring of War, then there should also be other rings formed by the condensation of fate, right?"

"Of course they exist. There were certainly more than one star that fell at the end of the Mythical Era, and compared to dice, this kind of complete fate should also be able to be created directly by gods. Dice are tiny fates, the Infinite Snake can only be considered a medium fate; these Rings of Fate are complete fates."

"Then the thing that Black Hand-Tifron is looking for wouldn't be this, would it?"

"Xia De, do not involve everything with demons. Of course it is not this; war is not simple destruction, nor can it destroy seals or imprisonment."

Luvia said, then picked up the remaining 【Secret】:

"Let me perform another divination. The content of the divination is the hints or help you might need while I am not by your side. After all, I will be away for three or four days, and now is a critical moment where several scenes of the story are showing clues; a lot can happen in three or four days."

Xia De did not refuse, nor did he say things like he could handle everything himself without Luvia.

Thus, the coin was once again surrounded by purple light halos as it flew toward the ceiling, scattering into a large patch of beautiful purple light spots.

When Luvia opened her eyes, Xia De saw from her expression that she also did not understand what the information she obtained meant:

"The steam mist that appears every time Ring Mages manifest their Fate Rings—the academic world currently believes that it might be the dissipation of soul power, but its essence is not entirely soul power, and no one can clearly explain what it actually is."

Xia De did not quite understand why she mentioned this point:

"I have always treated those steam mists as the special effects of the Fate Ring's appearance. After all, like the Fate Ring, they are things that exist between existence and non-existence. Although they can indeed affect the temperature of the space, the moisture never wets our backs; otherwise, every time I manifest the Fate Ring, my coat would be soaked through... Those steam mists dissipate in just a few seconds, so I really haven't explored what they are."

Luvia nodded:

"There is a peculiar way to make the area covered by this steam mist larger when it appears. The full name of the Fate Ring is 'Fate Wheel Ring,' and its essence is the combination of a mortal's soul, life, and fate, symbolizing the origin of the Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi. Your Fate Ring is relatively large, which is the manifestation of your soul being different from ordinary people.

It is very difficult for us to actively influence our own fate, so to make those steam mists of unknown composition more abundant, it requires a greater degree of soul power dissipation. Simply put, when manifesting the Fate Ring, let the 'other me' resonate with 'me' to the greatest extent. You should have had this feeling; when performing full-power spellcasting after manifesting the Fate Ring, that unique feeling of the soul's front and back sides completely merging is actually resonance."

Xia De did not have this feeling even when casting spells at full power. His "other me" was very unique; everyone else's was consistent with their own gender.

【Really, is there none?】

"She" asked gently. Xia De recalled that every time he absorbed divinity, it seemed to be the moment when he and "She" were closest to each other; that should count as resonance:

"I understand... but Luvia, what is the use of expanding the range of the steam mist by resonating with the other me? Slightly increasing the surrounding temperature?"

Luvia blinked:

"I didn't get much information from this divination either. Aside from requiring you to expend more soul power to draw out the Fate Ring, it probably has no use... Perhaps it can obstruct others' vision?"
