Chapter 846: Chapter 843 Imperial Pole Worldly Book (Part 2)

"Failure? I’ve only heard about how accurate fortune-telling is, never heard of a failure?" Lin Tian asked with great confusion.

"Yeah, Sister Zi Yan, what’s going on? Is Lin Tian okay?" Xiao Manxuan asked worriedly, as the atmosphere in the room affected her, the little girl took the fortune-telling seriously.

Lin Tian was treating it as a joke, but Zi Yan’s expression was too odd, this senior sister didn’t seem to be joking but was being serious!

Zi Yan withdrew her gaze and looked at Lin Tian, saying, "Failure is failure, what else could it mean? The Imperial Pole Worldly Book and the Divine Calculation Technique haven’t calculated any result."

"No result is just no result, doesn’t make any difference to me," Lin Tian said indifferently.

Although he had seen many bizarre and inexplicable things, being a zombie himself was an unexplainable phenomenon, but even after experiencing so much, Lin Tian still couldn’t accept the fortune-telling thing. What is the future? The future is the unknown tomorrow, with countless variables, how to calculate?

Unexpectedly, Zi Yan’s serious expression didn’t fade, instead, she said solemnly, "What do you know! The Imperial Pole Worldly Book and the Divine Calculation Technique have never made such a mistake. Within the Five Elements, in the Six Paths, all phenomena are accounted for, the Imperial Pole Worldly Book includes everything, there has never been a calculation failure, only accurate or not."

"Do you know what it means if it can’t calculate?" Zi Yan asked seriously, not waiting for Lin Tian’s answer, she quickly added, "If it can’t calculate, it means the calculation’s target is not within the Five Elements, and exists outside the Six Paths of Reincarnation. You’re a living person, how can you not be within the Five Elements, existing outside the Six Paths?"

Lin Tian was startled, not within the Five Elements, existing outside the Six Paths, was exactly talking about a zombie.

Darn, the Imperial Pole Worldly Book couldn’t be that formidable, could it? Lin Tian was shocked, as this matter involved the greatest secret about himself, the secret of being a zombie. Fortunately, Zi Yan thought it was a mistake of the Imperial Pole Worldly Book and didn’t suspect anything else.

"Uh, senior sister, maybe it’s time to update your fortune-telling system, it’s already making mistakes," Lin Tian said deliberately.

He was intentionally trying to change the topic, unexpectedly Zi Yan responded seriously, "It should be updated, the Imperial Pole Worldly Book will initiate an imperial restructuring when such errors occur."

"What will happen after restructuring?" Lin Tian asked casually, actually worried that after the restructuring, it might calculate something like ’Lin Tian is a zombie’, which would be troublesome.

However, a zombie not being within the Five Elements, existing outside the Six Paths, the Imperial Pole Worldly Book probably still can’t calculate that after restructuring.

"I don’t know what happens after restructuring, such a situation has never occurred before," Zi Yan shook her head and said.

"Senior sister, I’m quite curious, you say your fortune-telling fees are high, those celebrities have a lot of money, how much do you charge for a session?" Lin Tian changed the topic, intending to distract Zi Yan from thinking about the previous mistake.

Zi Yan indeed didn’t dwell on the previous issue and answered, "The fee depends on fate; a deeper fate warrants a higher fee, tens of thousands or even millions. A famous celebrity once offered two million, asking me to calculate how long he would remain popular."

"What result did Sister Zi Yan calculate?" Xiao Manxuan asked curiously.

"Second Miss, you’re silly; do you even need to calculate for such celebrities? They place their hopes on fortune-telling instead of focusing on improving their singing and acting skills. Such celebrities can only be popular for a few years, just like that four-member group a few years ago, which was very popular, but with no acting or singing skills, now they’re not even considered third-rate celebrities," Lin Tian laughed.

"Junior brother, you see through things quite clearly. Indeed, that celebrity was only popular for two years. Fortune-telling merely points in a direction, as it is stated clearly in ’The Book of Changes’, the virtue of a man is to strive persistently for self-improvement," Zi Yan noticed Lin Tian, a bit surprised, and said.

Xiao Manxuan nodded understandingly, saying, "So that’s how it is. Earlier, senior sister said deeper fated ones are charged more, what about those with shallow fate?"

"For those with shallow fate, naturally the charge is cheaper," Zi Yan replied.

"Why?" Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan asked in unison, this time even Lin Tian didn’t understand, was Zi Yan stating it backwards?

As if knowing that both of them would think this way, Zi Yan immediately explained, "There is a saying, the Heavenly Mechanism must not be leaked, but fortune-telling is precisely leaking the Heavenly Mechanism, thus incurring divine retribution. The deeper and more accurate the calculation, the greater the retribution."

"For those with deep fate, I naturally calculate deeper and more accurately, to offset the divine retribution, I must charge equivalent money; it belongs to a kind of balanced transaction. If you don’t charge anything, it’s equivalent to leaking the Heavenly Mechanism for no reason. Conversely, for those with shallow fate, naturally, the calculation is shallow, and the charge is naturally not expensive," Zi Yan explained in detail.

This theory was the first time Lin Tian heard it, feeling something was off, but couldn’t pinpoint it. However, what Zi Yan said didn’t necessarily have to be true, Lin Tian was merely listening.

"Senior sister, I have another question, during the Imperial Pole Worldly Book’s restructuring, can you still calculate?" Lin Tian asked.

"Of course, are you planning to let me do a reading for Xuanxuan?" Zi Yan seemed to see through Lin Tian’s mind, smiling and asking.

"Yes, since we’re here, let’s have a reading," Lin Tian admitted. In fact, he had another idea in mind, mainly to see whether Zhang Lingyu’s ’cannot escape fate’ prediction was accurate.

Girls are naturally interested in these matters of fortune; upon hearing this, Xiao Manxuan immediately nodded excitedly and said, "Sister Zi Yan, I want a reading too!"

"Alright, meeting you like this today is a kind of fate, let me have a reading for Xuanxuan," Zi Yan happily agreed.

Zi Yan sat back in the chair, saying, "Xuanxuan, think about what you most want to know? Love, career? Or something else? Once you’ve decided, write it down on the paper, just like Lin Tian did earlier."

Xiao Manxuan blinked her eyes, seemingly thinking, and whatever she thought of made her face turn slightly red as she was about to write.

Lin Tian saw her expression and knew the little girl wanted to ask about love, but his goal wasn’t for her to ask about love at all.

He patted Xiao Manxuan on the shoulder, waited for her to turn, and said, "Disaster, write the word ’disaster’."

"Is that okay?" Xiao Manxuan was a bit puzzled and looked at Zi Yan again.

Zi Yan nodded and said, "I said, you can write anything."

"Alright," Xiao Manxuan said somewhat regretfully, but still followed Lin Tian’s words and wrote the word "disaster" on the white paper. Mainly because she was too shy to say she was going to ask about love, as girls are often more reserved, especially in front of Lin Tian.

Zi Yan glanced at Lin Tian but said nothing and began typing on the computer keyboard. The large screen on the wall soon displayed the words "Xiao Manxuan," followed by the word "disaster."

Soon after the word "disaster" appeared, the screen began to manifest those mysterious gold characters, and they started to rotate around the name, followed by the appearance of the Eight Diagram pattern.
