"I've told you, you should go." She put down the astrolabe and picked up another book. "Don't disturb me while I'm reading."
"You've been reading this book for decades, right? The book cover is rotten. " He glanced at it and rubbed her hair. "Since you like reading so much, I'll bring some back for you this time?"
Because the Wheel of Fortune's body was even weaker, even The Fool did not allow her to leave the World City.
Her only form of entertainment was reading some books.
She glanced at him and did not speak.
Since he brought her books to read, she didn't mind him patting her head.
But at this moment, he suddenly leaned down and took her hand.
His peach blossom eyes were curved, full of smiles.
Only her figure was reflected in his eyes.
"Miss Ying, do you like me a little?"
"…"
This time, it still ended with him being kicked down the mountain.
After that, he went to look for her for seven days, but he was evaded with all kinds of reasons and could not see her even once.
He thought that this little girl's temper was really big.
He did not think about coaxing her, he just followed his heart.
But coaxing her, no matter how difficult it was, he would never tire of it.
The other sages were not clear about the relationship between them, including Xiu.
The sages had always been separated more than together, most of them running around the world.
He would only look for her in private and did not want to be disturbed by others.
But that did not include The Fool.
This was a wise old man, nothing could escape his eyes.
He would occasionally watch them bicker with a smile and brew a pot of tea.
"My body is old, I can't be compared to you young people." The old man sighed. "It's good to be young, it's really good. Grandpa is leaving, see you tomorrow."
The disaster this time was very big, so the two oldest sages, The Fool and Temperance, acted together to stop it.
But this time, The Fool and Temperance did not come back.
They had fallen in this great calamity, sacrificing their lives for the calamity.
When he came to look for her, he saw her sitting in front of the astrolabe, not saying a word.
"Grandpa Fool is gone, Sister Temperance is also gone." After a long time, she said, "They have completely fallen and are no longer here."
She still had no expression on her face, cold and indifferent.
There was no fluctuation in his voice either.
But he could feel her sadness. It was so heavy that he almost couldn't breathe.
"Miss Ying, the day we become Sages, our lives no longer belong to us." He sat beside her, raised his hand, and hugged her. "One day in the future, I will die, and so will Xiu."
"And this world will get better and better after we leave."
Hearing this, she suddenly raised her head, a thin layer of anger appearing in her phoenix eyes. "You won't die."
"Are you angry?" He smiled and pinched her face. "It's rare to see you so emotional. You're quite cute."
She didn't say anything this time, only remaining silent.
He chuckled. "If things settle down in the future, I'll have to trouble Miss Ying to smile more often."
After that, there were no more world-destroying disasters, and the number of disasters gradually decreased.
He thought it was time to put some of his plans into action.
Because of her weak body, they could not fight side by side like the Sage Moon and Sage Sun.
This was his only regret.
But when everything was peaceful and he didn't need to go out, he could accompany him more.
But before he could do anything, she came to him personally for the first time.
She went straight to the point. It was just a sentence.
"I saw the year 2023 AD."
He was stunned. "The year 2023 AD?"
He had never heard of the way this era was recorded.
"It's a way to record the future. It's four thousand years from now, the year 2023 AD. It's a void." Her voice was very soft. "I can't see anything, only ruins."
His expression changed slightly. "What's going on?"
In this world, there was nothing that the Wheel of Fortune could not calculate.
"This proves that before the year 2023 comes, all of us will die." She was silent for a moment. "This is the end of the world, an unchangeable end of the world."
He asked, "Even Sages can't stop it?"
"No. Every Sage will die, including you and me." She shook her head slightly, but her eyes were bright. "But I still found a solution."
He frowned. "What solution?"
"I calculated another universe," she said. "That universe has already survived the end of the world, so it's very stable, and the people there are stronger than us."
"Mr. D, listen carefully. You're the strongest among us. I'll help you open a passage to that universe."
"That universe is completely different from ours. They can cultivate their bodies and souls, as well as spiritual power and so on."
"The strongest among them can even roam freely in the universe without the help of any medium."
He had never heard of any of this.
His eyes locked onto her. "What are you trying to say?"
"So after I send you over, you can cultivate in that universe." She also looked at him. "Then one day, you can come back with even stronger strength. At that time, you can save everyone."
The vast universe was vast.
There was more than one Earth, more than one solar system, and more than one civilization in the universe.
Other civilizations also had guardians like them.
Of course, there was more than one universe.
He knew all of this.
But opening a passage between two universes?
This was something that even the two prophets, Sage The Fool and Sage Temperance, did not dare to think about.
"Open a universe passage?" He did not immediately answer. Instead, he asked, "How? Why don't you go yourself?"
She was stunned, which was rare. She hugged her legs and buried her head. "I'm weak. I can only guide you from behind the scenes."
"If I go, even if I can increase my strength, it won't be as much as yours. I won't be of much help. But you can. You can save everyone."
"Miss Ying, listen carefully. You're not weak." He held her shoulder. "Your ability is the strongest among all the sages. Without you, the casualties would be more than this."
"But I can't face the disaster head-on like you all." She suddenly grabbed his hand and said word by word, "Mr. D, Grandpa Fool is gone. Among all the sages, I only trust you. Don't tell anyone else about this."
His eyes suddenly froze.
Her words meant that there was a traitor among the sages.
"Who?"
"Because the end of the world has arrived, everything can no longer be seen. So, we have to change this future."
He was still worried. "What do you need to do to open a universe passage?"
"You don't need to do anything. Just a specific day will be enough." She held her chin and raised her eyebrows. "Mr. D, are you afraid?"
"Okay." He finally agreed. "Wait for me to come back. You must wait for me to come back."
"Okay." She looked up at the sky and smiled for the first time. It was extremely magnificent. "On December 1st, I will send you out."
"I expect you to come back at the end of 2022 at the latest. There's still time."
"December 1st." Hearing Fu Yunshen say this, Qin Lingyu and Yu Xuesheng looked at each other. "The day the Holy War breaks out is also the day the universe passage opens?"
"Yes." Fu Yunshen lit a cigarette but did not smoke. He said indifferently, "But she still lied to me."
He should know how difficult it was to open a passage between two universes.
But she was the wheel of fate, the wheel of fate that predicted the world.
He thought that she would not do this.
But she always put her own safety out of the equation.
Xiu's throat rolled, and his voice was difficult. "Her fall was because of this?"
"The universe passage still opened, and I didn't have time to stop her." Fu Yunshen raised his head slightly. "Halfway through, when her defense was the weakest, she was attacked by several knights. I didn't even have the ability to save her. I could only watch her …"
He didn't say anything else and slowly closed his fingers.
Everyone was silent.
Opening a passage between two universes was something that no one dared to think about.
But the wheel of fate thought about it and did it.
But the price was —
Her life.
Qin Lingyu did not need to ask to know what was going to happen next.
Fu Yunshen used some unknown method to send Ying Zijin to another universe and let her increase her strength.
The price for this was probably his life.
Otherwise, how could the demons with the strongest combat power fall without a world-destroying disaster?
After a very, very long period of silence, Fu Yun smiled deeply. "Do you know what the last words she left for me were?"
"She said —" Fu Yunshen put out the cigarette. All the light dimmed, and only his eyes were astonishingly bright. "But, I just want you to live."
But, I just want you to live.
Then, she resolutely faced death.
