The woman turned her back to the fire and sat down on the sofa.
Warm light radiated from behind her, outlining the outline of her body, while her face was hidden in the darkness, no longer as terrifying as before.
She gestured for Su Cher to sit on another chair.
Su Cher sat down and looked at her.
For some reason, Su Cher suddenly felt a sense of relaxation and warmth.
"Do you want to see your future?" the woman asked.
"I don't" Su Cher shook her head.
"Why not? Isn't it a good thing to be able to peek into your future? "
"I'm here to escape from my fate, so I don't want to know what it was originally like"
The woman paused a bit, then asked: "Then, are you not satisfied with your life?"
"Which aspect are you referring to?"
"You're a young lady, of course I'm referring to your life as an aristocrat — — balls, horseback riding, afternoon tea, beautiful dresses"
"I'm a 4th stage Elementalist, other than dresses, all of these things are like shadows in a movie, unreal and boring" Su Cher replied.
"Professionist … which means, you came here to obtain power?"
"That's right, I want to become stronger" Su Cher replied.
The woman suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"A true heir! I haven't seen one for a few hundred years "
She seemed very happy.
"Every successor is hesitant between power and influence."
"Smart people will choose authority, because as long as they have it, no matter what it is, they only need to say the word and someone will take care of it"
"Very few people choose to inherit power"
"This path is too difficult, too dangerous, you can lose your life at any moment, and if you die, you'll die for nothing, not even I can protect you"
"Your choice is full of courage, from now on, you can ask me anything you want about power" the woman told him.
"This is an unprecedented privilege, make sure to grasp it well" she added.
Su Cher asked: "I saw the ship's control room, does that mean our 9 Lords came from another planet?"
"That's right"
"Why?"
"There are a lot of space monsters here, and it's a remote corner. It can be considered a paradise."
"Xanadu! Could it be that we are fleeing here? "
"Smart girl."
Su Cher asked again, "But with so many disasters happening in the world, what are we going to do in the future?"
"Disaster? What do you mean? "
[Sea creature, Man Killer Fiend, Game of Eternal, Murder Clown]
"You call this a disaster? It's nothing more than a clamor of loud thunder and little raindrops. "
The woman shook her head and let out a chuckle. "Please cherish your current life. There are few peaceful days like ours in the world."
"Are you saying that there will be more disasters?"
"Child, this is not what you really want to ask about power," the woman interrupted.
Su Cher fell silent.
The woman looked at her as if she could see the bottom of her heart.
"I can sense your apprehension, but I must say, please cherish this opportunity. Every Palace Head only has the chance to change their fate on this day."
"After this day, no matter how much you regret it, you won't be able to receive my help anymore"
Su Cher gritted her teeth and said: "Then I'll ask, if I'm wrong, please don't mind"
"Tell me"
"I … how can I obtain the power of a 5th stage Elementalist?"
"Why do you need the power of a 5th stage?"
"To become the master of my own fate"
"Everyone who comes here asks how to become the master of the world, only you want to become the master of yourself"
"Can you please tell me?"
"I'm not sure, come here, I need to take a closer look at you"
Su Cher stood up and walked in front of the woman.
The woman reached out her hand that was covered in a thin layer of human skin and lightly lifted Su Cher's hand.
"Unique Elementalist, Wind Elemental 4th stage … it's already the limit, I can't break through anymore" the woman muttered.
"No"
Su Cher's face paled in an instant, shaking her head in despair.
Her best wish was shattered.
In truth, she already had a vague feeling about her talent.
There weren't many people in the world who could reach the 5th stage of the Elementalist realm.
The woman consoled her instead: "Fate isn't eternal, we always have a way to change it"
"Please tell me the way"
"I need to take a closer look at your situation, kneel down and lift your head"
Su Cher knelt down as she was told, so that the woman could take a closer look at her.
The woman turned around and used an iron rod to light up the fire in the fireplace.
The light became warm and bright.
The woman was still sitting with her back to the light, the light illuminating her silhouette into a deeper darkness. She reached out her bone-white hands to hold Su Cher's face, carefully observing it.
While Su Cher faced the light, her eyes full of desire glowed.
After a while, the woman spoke.
"Gui Cang's power doesn't like you"
"Heaven's Chosen … is cut off by your body, unable to reach your soul"
"Elemental, Wind Elemental power is about to reach its limit, unable to hold any more"
"What a firm fate …"
"Young lady, don't you want to think of other ways, like using authority or wealth to change your life?"
The woman sighed and continued: "You're a rare successor, I really want to help you"
"I can tell you the Fuxi Emperor's weakness, I can tell you the President's little secret, I can even get the guy who founded the religion to do something for you, I can also help you attack the other Lords to expand the Su family's influence"
"Seeing how likable you are, I can even ask Impartial Goddess to increase your authority to a very high level, making it easier for you to do anything you want"
"Impartial Goddess …"
"That's right, that's ours"
Su Cher thought for a bit, but still shook her head: "No, these are all external items, they won't be able to fulfill my wish"
"I only want to obtain power that I can control"
The woman continued: "That's very difficult, you'll need to pay a very heavy price, even your life"
"I'm willing to pay the price" Su Cher said.
The woman stared at her for a while, then waved her hand.
A short wooden table appeared next to the two of them.
"According to the rules of the inheritance ceremony" the woman said, "every successor has the authority to let me use a Fate-type God's Chosen Skill once, but their desires are too shallow, I don't even need to spend any effort to complete their inheritance"
"But you, young lady, you're very clear-headed, you know what's most important"
"So you're going to help me?" Su Cher asked.
"I'll repeat myself, once you choose this path, there's a real chance of dying" the woman said.
"I'd rather die on the way to fulfill my wish" Su Cher said.
"This kind of courage, or perhaps recklessness, really makes me have a whole new level of respect for you." The woman knocked on the table and said, "Looks like I have to be serious."
"Please put your personal belongings on the table"
As she spoke, a black card silently appeared and floated in the air above her head.
"How many?" Su Cher asked.
"All of them" the woman answered.
"… They won't be damaged right?" Su Cher hesitantly asked.
"Of course not"
Since Su Cher left in a hurry, she didn't have time to bring anything with her.
