This seemed contradictory, as it felt like Skymender was deliberately exposing a weakness.

Skymender was solemn as he replied, "It\'s quite simple: I want to become friends with Alliance Leader Lu."

Lu Yin was briefly stunned before he just laughed. "You must be teasing me, Imperial Advisor. There is a history of countless years of war between the Astral Beast Domain and the Human Domain that has led to countless deaths. There’s no chance to resolve so much accumulated hatred. How could we ever become friends?"

"Even enemies can become friends in the right situation. For example, if Alliance Leader Lu has a question, I can answer it for you. I won’t even ask you for anything more than you protecting me in my old age. I don’t have long to live, and I just hope to maintain the status quo for the rest of my life. Quite frankly, what becomes of the Human Domain and the Astral Beast Domain is none of my concern after I pass on, and I don’t give the matter much thought," Skymender replied. His answer sounded rather bleak.

If Lu Yin had not once Possessed a creeper, then he might have believed Skymender. After all, it truly did appear as though the Astral Beast Domain was at a complete disadvantage. However, Lu Yin had seen all of the humanoid sourceboxes that Skymender had collected. While it seemed like there was no possibility of the Astral Beast Domain making a comeback, there was no telling what they might have hidden up their sleeves.

Lu Yin sneered. He had no idea what the Celestial Beast Empire’s true intentions were, and he certainly did not know Skymender’s goals. However, those humanoid sourceboxes were definitely not simple. Even if he did not attack the Astral Beast Domain as a whole, he absolutely had to deal with that place with all the humanoid sourceboxes.

He had nearly forgotten about it, but that place had to be dealt with.

"Imperial Advisor, do you know what this junior would like to know?" Lu Yin was curious about this.

Skymender answered, "Given the countless years that we’ve been fighting, the Astral Beast Domain has developed a thorough understanding of the Human Domain. Alliance Leader Lu is the human who has shone the brightest during the last forty years, and we did not dare to relax our watch on you for even a moment. I know that you are collecting fatesand, and you also have a close relationship with the Starsibyl Sect, no?"

Lu Yin\'s eyes went wide. "You know about fatesand?"

"More accurately, I know a bit about Destiny," Skymender replied slowly.

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed, and he sent no reply for the moment. Destiny was a terrifying subject to discuss, as she was too mysterious. Everyone with any connection to Destiny caused Lu Yin to be wary, and this included both the Starsibyl Sect and Destina.

Destina was actually the person that Lu Yin was wariest towards, despite her apparent harmlessness and unconditional support for him. He actually viewed Destina with even greater caution than either Hen Xin or Jue Yi.

When it came to Hen Xin, Jue Yi, and the rest of the Semi-Progenitors whose strength could pressure Lu Yin, he had not felt nervous at all after obtaining Progenitor Chen\'s power. However, Destina was different, and it was impossible to know what the woman was thinking.

She had managed to find out that Big Sis was really the Yōu clan’s ancestor, and had also tracked down the Starsibyl Sect. Third Uncle, Lu Buzheng, was terrified of the woman. She kept her hand hidden better than anyone.

Lu Yin would rather deal with three or four people like Hen Xin than a single Destina, even if she was ostensibly on his side at the moment.

"Do you know much about Destiny, Alliance Leader Lu?" Skymender asked.

"Say whatever you want to say, Imperial Advisor."

Skymender instantly grew completely somber. "My Celestial Beast Empire received the inheritance of the Fourth Mainland. When that Mainland was destroyed, we protected the last vestiges that remained and attached ourselves to the Fifth Mainland, and we eventually became the Fifth Mainland\'s Astral Beast Domain. I was lucky enough to save some things from the ancient Mainland, including some documents that mention Destiny.

"Destiny is a woman whose real name was forgotten long ago, and she is one of the Ancient Progenitors, alongside the God of Death and Wu Tian. They existed back during the Heavens Sect era, and they were also known as the masters of the Three Realms. They were all disciples of the Origin Progenitor himself, and they all became Progenitors. Each of the Origin Progenitor’s first disciples also created their own unique cultivation method.

"Destiny created the art of divination, which allows one to see through the past and future to view the experiences of those around them. She also created a total of 108 pieces of fatesand, as well as the two parts of Heaven’s Enigma, Inverse Enigma, and the Books of Destiny. All together, these things make up Destiny’s inheritance."

Lu Yin had already known that there were 108 pieces of fatesand, and Xuan Jiu had mentioned that he was absolutely certain that there was a connection between Destiny and the Starsibyl Sect. If not, how could Xuan Jiu have known exactly how many pieces of fatesand had been created? On top of that, Little Millenium Flowzone was surrounded by 108 Tributary Astral Rivers, as well as 108 planets that were home to the servants and followers of the Starsibyl Sect. There were too many details that matched the number of pieces of fatesand.

However, Lu Yin had never heard of Inverse Enigma, and he had also never heard of the Books of Destiny.

"The more fatesand you collect, the more connected you are with Destiny. I know that Destina has stated that she will support you without any conditions, but I would suggest that you don’t trust her too much, Alliance Leader Lu. According to the ancient records that I’ve read, getting close to Destiny is not a good thing," Skymender warned.

Lu Yin asked, "Imperial Advisor, you claim to be able to see the past and future, and you also know a great deal about Destiny. What’s your connection to Destiny?"

Skymender hesitated. "I already decided to not keep this hidden when I brought this up with you. In truth, I do have a connection to Destiny."

Lu Yin\'s expression grew cold.

"I coincidentally acquired one of the Books of Destiny," Skymender continued.

Lu Yin felt rather puzzled. "What are the Books of Destiny?"

Skymender replied, "I will tell you everything that I know, but I do hope that you won’t make things too difficult for my Astral Beast Domain. The so-called ‘Books of Destiny’ are three strange books that were written by Destiny. They are some of the greatest treasures she left behind, and as far as many people are concerned, they are beyond priceless. The books are, respectively, Past, Present, and Future. The one in my possession is Destiny’s Book of the Present, which gives me access to certain knowledge."

Lu Yin was completely stunned. Did such treasures truly exist?

Long ago, when Lu Yin had first heard of the Starsibyl Sect, he had not believed in their divination at all, and he had even considered them to all be charlatans. Later, as many things happened, and especially after he had developed a connection with the God of Death, Lu Yin had slowly come to believe the legends regarding Destiny as well. At present, even when Skymender mentioned something as impossible as the Books of Destiny, Lu Yin did not find it unbelievable.

Still, it seemed quite surreal.

The Books of Destiny gave insight into the past, present, and future. In some sense, this was even more miraculous than the power of time that the Origin Progenitor’s sword possessed. What could these books be?

"I know that you don’t believe me, Alliance Leader Lu, but there’s no reason for me to lie to you. Also, I know that you’ve been searching for someone in particular: Undying Yushan," Skymender sent.

Lu Yin’s fingers twitched as he saw that message. "Can you determine his location?"

Skymender replied, "Even if Destiny’s Book of the Present is miraculous, it isn’t omniscient. Using it requires one to trigger Destiny, and I can only accomplish that on very rare occasions."

"So you don\'t know?"

"I do."

Lu Yin arched a brow. "Then where is he?"

"He’s in Earth’s solar system, though I can\'t determine his exact location."

Lu Yin frowned. "How can I trust you?"

"I’m telling you all of this without asking for anything in return. Do you have any reason to suspect me, Alliance Leader Lu?"

Lu Yin\'s eyes flashed. "You just mentioned Heaven’s Enigma and Inverse Enigma. What is that supposed to mean?"

"Inverse Enigma can be regarded as the entry-level divination method left behind by Destiny. It’s the method that’s used by most of whom have received Destiny’s inheritances, including the members of the Starsibyl Sect. At least, I assume that’s what they use. According to the ancient records I’ve read, Destiny never passed her Heaven’s Enigma on to anyone."

"So are you saying that even Destina only uses Inverse Enigma?"

"That should be the case."

"Since Destina is Destiny’s heir, aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell her that you have the ‘present’ Book of Destiny?"

"Then it seems like my luck has run out. If you really trusted Destina, why would you have chatted with me for so long?"

Lu Yin found this quite amusing. Everyone was trying to outwit everyone else. There was no way Lu Yin would mention this matter to Destina for the time being. However, if he reached an inescapable dead end where extreme measures were required, then that would be the time to send Destina after Skymender.

"Honestly, I don’t believe you at all," Lu Yin replied.

Skymender sighed. "Most people struggle to believe these things, but you are an exceptional person, Alliance Leader Lu. It’s quite possible that your knowledge about these matters is already almost as much as my own."

Lu Yin thought for a bit. "Help me by divining a word, a person, and an object. If your answers are correct, then I’ll believe every word you’ve said."

A small smile appeared on Skymender’s face in the Astral Beast Domain. "I’ve already demonstrated my sincerity. Regardless of whether or not you believe me, everything that I’ve told you is true. If all that I’ve done so far isn’t enough to alleviate your desire to destroy my Astral Beast Domain, then I have no other options."

"I’ve only asked you to help me divine a word, a person, and an object. That would be a much better demonstration of your sincerity."

"I’m sorry, Alliance Leader, but I can\'t agree to that."

"Why not? With the Book of Destiny you have, it shouldn’t be difficult. I didn’t ask about anything regarding the future."

"Hehe, a word, a person, and an object? Why haven’t you asked Destina for help regarding this? Most likely, she’s already refused, because anything that you need looked into can’t be an easy task. I’d prefer to live for a few more years."

Lu Yin was left speechless. When it came to staying safe, people who performed divinations were disturbingly astute. Neither Destina nor Skymender wanted to perform divinations for Lu Yin. Even when the sect master of the Starsibyl Sect had done a divination for Lu Yin, the man had vomited blood, as had Xuan Jiu. Was it really that difficult to see what Lu Yin asked about?

"Since you don\'t want to do a divination for me, then why don’t you let me borrow the Book of Destiny and let me try it myself?" Lu Yin suggested.

Skymender smiled. "After I die, I can have the Book of Destiny sent over as a gift for you, but not now."

This shocked Lu Yin. "Are you really willing to send me the book?"

"Why not? No one else in the Astral Beast Domain is capable of using it, while you’ve been collecting fatesand and have even managed to trigger Destiny. You might have a chance of using it," Skymender replied.

"What do the Books of Destiny look like?" Lu Yin asked.

"They are massive books."

Massive books? Why did this sound so familiar? Lu Yin ran through his memories for a while before he suddenly remembered something: Xiao Shi! He had a massive book with no writing in it. He insisted that there were words, but no one else could see them.

"You mentioned that there are three Books of Destiny, right? If you have one, where are the other two?" Lu Yin asked calmly.

Skymender sighed. "I don\'t know. I’ve never been able to find them."

Lu Yin soon put the wireless jincan away. He intended to immediately reach out to Qing Ping and ask his senior brother to send someone to bring Xiao Shi to see him. No, after a bit of consideration, Lu Yin decided to personally go and visit Xiao Shi in person.

However, before that, Lu Yin wanted to talk to Destina.

"You practice Heaven’s Enigma, right?" Lu Yin asked directly.

Destina replied, "Yes, you asked me about that last time."

"What about Inverse Enigma?" Lu Yin pressed.

Destina instantly became very intrigued. "How do you know that name? There’s no chance that you heard it from Lu Buzheng. Many people know about Destiny and Heaven’s Enigma, but even among Destiny’s disciples, very few have ever heard of Inverse Enigma. Where did you hear about this? Tell me the truth!"

Lu Yin simply ended the call. He had no intention of answering Destina no matter how badly she wanted answers.
