The Stargazing Hall was in complete silence.
No one said a word. They were all quietly watching the resplendent starry sky above the hall, which was like a projection of reality.
This faintly discernible star map was the most precious treasure of the Starliege Temple. It was also a mysterious item that no other Magus organization dared to covet, no matter how envious they were.
The number of stars that flickered in and out contained endless secrets about the future. However, only Prophets could see through them.
Almost half of all Prophets in the southern wizardry region were gathered here, using the same posture to look for the answer to the Riddle of the Stars.
They all looked at it carefully. However, the Riddle of the Stars could reveal the future, but not everyone could see it. Most of them failed. Just like now, in the Stargazing Hall, almost all the apprentices were scratching their heads and scratching their ears. In addition, a portion of the Prophets who were sitting outside were also frowning and looking regretful.
In other words, about 80% of the people in the hall failed to find anything.
Of the remaining 20%, even if they did find something from the Riddle of the Stars, it was probably not something they wanted to know. Most of the time, they just did not know what to expect. Only a very small number of people, with enough strength and luck, could find what they wanted to know.
Maya used to be one of the few strong Prophets. Otherwise, she would not be sitting at the front of the hall.
But today, Maya was having a headache.
She did not see anything.
Maya came here with a mission. According to Rein, she needed to use the Riddle of the Stars to see if Angor was targeted by the Germinal believers. She also wanted to know what they would do to Angor. Would they use Loser's Arrow?
The Riddle of the Stars showed the stars of the future. In other words, as long as one was strong enough, one could see countless possible futures through the Riddle of the Stars.
The rule of the Mystery of the Starry Sky was that when you were observing the stars, you had to try your best to think of the things you wanted to know the most. Then, the stars might lead you to the final result because of your request, allowing you to get what you wanted.
However, this was not absolute. Sometimes, one could spend a lot of effort and still not see anything. Or rather, one could not even understand what he or she was looking for.
Now, Maya was in such a situation. Maya kept opening and closing her eyes. She kept trying to figure out the mystery that was floating in space. But no matter how much she asked in her heart, she did not get any inspiration. Her mind was blank.
The faintly floating starry sky became more and more brilliant as time passed. This also meant that the mystery of the starry sky was about to reach its peak. After showing an even more brilliant future, it would wither away. It was like a narrative. After the story reached its peak, it would inevitably slowly return to silence.
In other words, the stargazing day was already half over.
Seeing that the end of the Mystery of the Stars was getting closer and closer, Maya felt anxious for the first time.
Her original plan was to check the ruins guarded by Rein after Angor was done. That way, she could avoid Tuwalu from Song of the Deep's interference. But now, she couldn't see anything. She couldn't help but feel anxious for no reason.
Maya glanced at Dodoro, who was standing next to her, while she was distracted by her own thoughts.
That one glance made Maya's heart skip a beat.
It wasn't because Dodoro did something wrong. It was just that Dodoro's expression was too … strange.
Maya had been teaching Dodoro for a long time. She knew that Dodoro was cold by nature, but that was just part of his personality. Besides, he wasn't completely emotionless. But right now, Dodoro didn't seem to be showing any warmth at all. His eyes, his expression, and even his hair and toes were all showing what it meant to be completely cold.
It wasn't disdain for the mortal world, nor was it alienation from people. Instead, it was an extreme calmness.
Dodoro was like a lofty god who calmly looked down at the cycle of seasons and everything in the world without any emotion.
This wasn't something an ordinary apprentice could do.
Maya had a strange feeling. She felt that Dodoro had become one with the world's consciousness. Absolute coldness, absolute fairness, and absolute superiority.
"Is this the true talent of the Baiyuan Clan?" Maya wondered.
While Maya was bewildered, she felt that there were a few eyes that seemed to be looking in her direction. The gazes came from the center of the hall.
Maya looked up and saw a couple of observers who seemed to have noticed Dodoro's presence.
They looked at Dodoro, then at Maya. He seemed to be guessing something, and there was an unknown light in his eyes.
Maya couldn't read their eyes, but she could tell that they were interested in Dodoro.
Maya sighed in her mind. Dodoro had already attracted a lot of attention during the Day of Stargazing, and this time, he was already acting strangely even before the prophecy was revealed. She was sure that people would talk about Dodoro later.
Maya didn't know what to do. But since Dodoro was already noticed, there was nothing she could do. With Brute Cavern as her support, Dodoro would be fine even if he showed his true strength.
Maya stopped thinking about Dodoro. The most important thing for her right now was to find the answers to the mysteries of the stars.
Maya exhaled deeply and closed her eyes to rest for ten minutes. She threw away all her worries and worries. When her mind had completely entered a tranquil state, Maya opened her eyes again and looked at the brilliant starry sky above her head.
When the star chart shone brighter, Maya's dormant spirit finally moved.
The first future Maya saw was in a pitch-black space.
It seemed to be in the void, but also seemed to be on the black soil. There was a path of starlight that stretched endlessly … all the way to the end. At the end of the path of stars, there was a box whose shape could not be seen clearly. Just as Maya's thoughts were about to take a closer look at the truth of the box, the head of a monster with blue light all over its body emerged from the void.
At the same time, everything in front of Maya's eyes began to fall apart. She slowly regained her focus.
Maya frowned. "This should be a fragment of the future. There's nothing valuable here."
She couldn't find any clues in the darkness. The box might not be a treasure. Maybe it was a bait for some monster.
Maya didn't think too much about it. She only sighed in her mind. She was here to ask for Angor's help. Why did she end up with such a messy scene?
Maya put aside this short fragment and meditated again.
Perhaps it was because of her previous successful experience, but this time, Maya quickly realized that a sweet spring once again flowed into her dried up inspiration …
