Chapter 425: Chapter 425 The Wheel of Time

Shi Yaoguang wasn’t originally interested in competing with the diviner, but since he was so aggressive, Shi Yaoguang had no reason to back down.

She immediately hooked up the corner of her lip and accepted the challenge, "Fine, let’s have a match."

Seeing her response, the diviner took it as her being prideful and barked, "Good, since you’ve decided to compete, then stop dawdling."

While speaking, she took out a deck of Tarot Cards, "Let’s see who can restore the altar!"

"Restore the altar?" An Xiaoya couldn’t help but question, "Why should we restore the altar?"

The diviner snorted, "Restoring the altar is of course to unravel its mysteries. The existence of this altar must serve some purpose, and we’ll see who can uncover it more clearly!"

An Xiaoya felt looked down upon.

But she felt the contempt was completely unjustified.

She couldn’t help saying, "Just as you said, if restoring the altar is to clarify things, but... I still don’t see the necessity."

"You say it’s unnecessary, and that settles it?"

The diviner glared at her, then turned to Shi Yaoguang, "Or are you simply too afraid to compete with me?"

"Afraid? Hardly."

Shi Yaoguang shrugged, indifferent, "If you want a competition, then we’ll do it your way."

"However..."

She paused, her aura suddenly becoming forceful, "I don’t do meaningless things."

Upon hearing this, the diviner’s face turned dark.

"That means you clearly don’t want to compete with me!"

"Whether we compete depends on your sincerity." Shi Yaoguang pointed at the Tarot Cards in her hand, "If I win, the cards in your hand are mine."

"Dare to wager?"

Shi Yaoguang’s words were undeniably arrogant.

The diviner’s face turned green. Every diviner has a specially made deck of Tarot Cards.

Once a certain level is reached, Tarot Cards can even gain sentience.

Now that Shi Yaoguang had outright demanded her Tarot Cards, the diviner was naturally reluctant.

Shi Yaoguang, ever so easygoing, waved her hand, "If you don’t want to compete, forget it. I’m not in the mood to compete with you anyway."

Having said that, she turned to An Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, get ready. We’re going to break the formation."

At that, the diviner spoke up again, "Wait!"

"I agree!" Saying so, she looked at her challengingly, "I accept your condition, but if you lose, what will you offer me?"

Shi Yaoguang flipped her wrist and a deck of Tarot Cards shimmering with starlight appeared in her hand.

With a flick of her fingertips, the Tarot Cards began to dance in her hand.

Watching her movements, the diviner felt a thump in her heart.

Laymen watch the excitement; experts watch the technique.

Although her Tarot Cards didn’t have a Card Spirit, she knew what Tarot Cards with a Card Spirit looked like.

She was certain that the Tarot Cards in Shi Yaoguang’s hands were mature ones with a Card Spirit.

In comparison, the superiority was obvious!

Just as she was thinking, she heard Shi Yaoguang say, "To be fair, I’ll also wager my Tarot Cards."

"If I lose, my Tarot Cards are yours, and vice versa."

At this point, the diviner had lost her confidence.

Shi Yaoguang had Tarot Cards with a Card Spirit, which meant she was likely a higher-level diviner than her.

Insisting on competing with Shi Yaoguang at this juncture could very well result in a defeat.

But...

If she didn’t compete, the boasts she had made would be humiliating.

She didn’t want to give up so easily.

What if Shi Yaoguang had just gotten lucky obtaining a deck of Tarot Cards with a Card Spirit?

Thinking this, she gradually solidified her resolve.

Then let’s compete!

She didn’t believe she would lose.

After the Diviner had made up her mind, she took out her Tarot Cards and arranged them on a Mini Incense Table she had prepared.

Her actions were very devout, and no one spoke to interrupt, giving her ample time to perform the reading.

The Diviner took a few minutes to enter the state, then had An Xiaoya cooperate with her to draw a Tarot Card.

Having obtained the card, she performed a series of highly ritualistic acts before finally concluding her ritual.

Soon after, she said, "This altar was originally built by the Royal Family of Mobei, because they yearned for eternal life. To this end, they built this altar here, using the fresh blood of young boys and girls as nourishment..."

After the Diviner had finished talking, she looked at Shi Yaoguang with a self-satisfied expression, "I’ve said everything I know. You haven’t spoken until now. Are you waiting for me to finish so you can pick up the pieces?"

Shi Yaoguang shook her head.

Seeing that she continued to deny it, the Diviner scoffed, "Then go ahead, tell us, what else do you know besides what I’ve seen?"

Shi Yaoguang flipped open the Tarot Card in her hand and drew out a card shimmering with purple starlight, throwing it towards the sky.

The Diviner’s gaze clung to the card, and she distinctly saw gears rotating on it.

This was...

The Wheel of Time and Space!

As she was struck with amazement, the environment around her suddenly changed.

The landscape of the wasteland was receding rapidly, as if time itself was being rewritten by someone.

Until it settled in an unknown dynasty.

They were all still standing there, but the wasteland around them was now buzzing with crowds of people.

They swarmed around, standing on the periphery of the altar as if awaiting something.

Soon, a red-robed, masked woman appeared atop the altar.

The woman, holding a Scepter in hand, looked down from her lofty position, resembling a deity.

As she lifted the Scepter, the bustling crowd, as if guided by some force, suddenly knelt in unison.

Bowing continuously, they prayed for the deity to bestow upon them the supreme gift of life...

At that moment, the scene abruptly changed.

The bustling crowd was gone, and the altar was now filled with hundreds of children wearing bellybands.

Their hands were bound, their blood running down from their wrists into the grooves of the altar, ultimately trickling down into the Blood Pond beneath.

Although there appeared to be nothing in the Blood Pond but blood, it was bubbling turbulently as if boiling.

Just the sight of the blood bubbles bursting in mid-air was terrifying enough.

But it didn’t end there.

After the blood flowed into the Blood Pond, someone actually stepped into the pool barefoot...

This scene clearly depicted the practice of a Demonic Cultivation Technique.

Everyone in attendance couldn’t help but shiver.

This was just too horrifying, right?

An Xiaoya and the little Daoist nun, at some point, had already clung to each other, trembling violently.

At this time, the figure in the Blood Pond gradually became clearer.

It was a man.

His hair cascaded down like a waterfall as he lay in the Blood Pond, looking quite at ease.

Suddenly.

As if sensing something, he looked up and cast his gaze in the direction where the group stood.

Just one look was enough to send chills down one’s spine.

The vision ended there.

In a second, the surroundings returned to their original state.

It was as if everything that had happened before was just an illusion.

But they all knew it was not an illusion.
