Chapter 211 When A Bird’s Nest Is Overturned, No Egg Can Remain Intact.

The Grand State Master, more than anyone else, hoped that this was all an error in his calculations.

But he knew better than anyone that his deduction would not be wrong.

He said, “I’ve been practicing divination for almost a thousand years. My calculations have never been wrong. I wish more than anyone that my calculations were wrong. However, I’ve repeatedly deduced and calculated countless times. However, every time, the future of the Holy Spirit Continent will be cut off six years later!”

The Grand State Master raised his head and stared at Yu Huang with a burning gaze. He said in a deep voice, “And you are the only unforeseen factor that I found after hundreds of calculations.”

Under the mask, Yu Huang frowned.

She did not understand what unforeseen factor she was.

Was it because she was an outsider?

Seeing Yu Huang’s confused expression, the Grand State Master told her, “Your fate is very strange. On the day of your full moon celebration, the Prime Master brought you to the Divination Tower to see me…”

That was 20 years ago.

That summer, Yin Mingjue came to the Divination Tower with a baby in his arms and requested to meet the Grand State Master. At that time, Yin Mingjue was already a Prime Master beast tamer.

The Grand State Master and Yin Mingjue were old friends, and the Grand State Master invited them in.

The moment they met, Yin Mingjue took out a bag of red-shell eggs and handed it to the Grand State Master. He said, “Grand State Master, today is my beloved daughter’s full moon celebration. This is a full moon egg. Please try it, Grand State Master.”

It was the custom of the Divine Moon Kingdom to eat full moon eggs during a full moon banquet.

When a guest ate a full moon egg, it could be considered a blessing to the child. The Grand State Master didn’t like eating eggs, but he did eat one that day.

Yin Mingjue was especially happy to see the Grand State Master eat the full moon egg. He handed the infant daughter to the Grand State Master and said to him, “My daughter still doesn’t have a name. You are a person of virtue and prestige. Please give this child a name.”

The Grand State Master stared at the fair and tender baby girl in Yin Mingjue’s arms before asking, “What kind of name do you want? What are your hopes for this child?”

Children’s names often hid their parents’ hopes for them.

Yin Mingjue said without thinking, “I don’t want her to become a dragon or phoenix. I just want this child to grow up healthy and safe.”

Nodding his head, the Grand State Master stared at Yu Huang’s face.

Coincidentally, at this moment, the soundly sleeping Yu Huang woke up.

That pair of round eyes suddenly opened. The Grand State Master could tell that this child had a short lifespan when he saw her eyes. He calculated with his fingers that this child would have a life and death calamity in two months.

Yin Mingjue’s only hope for his daughter’s name was for her to grow up healthy and safe.

However, this hope had actually become an unrealistic wish.

The Grand State Master pondered for a long time before saying, “Only when a phoenix undergoes nirvana can it be reborn. Why don’t we call her Yin Huang?”

Yin Mingjue seemed to have discerned the hidden meaning behind the Grand State Master’s words. His expression changed slightly. He wanted to ask for the truth, but he knew that the Grand State Master would never reveal anything. Afraid that he would break the Grand State Master’s rules, Yin Mingjue didn’t dare to ask further. He said, “It’s a good name.” The name ‘Phoenix’ was given to Yu Huang by the Grand State Master himself. Therefore, when Yu Donghai found Yu Huang and brought her to the Prosperous Capital, he did not dare to change her name. He was afraid that if the name changed, Yu Huang’s providence would change as well.

When he recalled this past, the Grand State Master also felt rather emotional. “I named you ‘Phoenix’ because I hoped that you would have a tenacious and unyielding character. Even if the future is fraught with danger, I hope that you can endure the hardship and be reborn.”

“But a name is just a code name, a kind of hope. It can’t change anything. But I didn’t expect you to come back to life.”

Yu Huang never thought that she would have such a bond with the Grand State Master.

So her name was given to her by the Grand State Master.

However, Yu Huang did not understand how she became the variable that the Grand State Master mentioned.

“Grand State Master, after saying so much, do you really think that I can save the Holy Spirit Continent?” Yu Huang’s expression was filled with self-mockery. She believed that she was talented, but she was not arrogant enough to think that she could save the entire world.

Seeing that Yu Huang was full of doubts, the Grand State Master asked her, “You don’t believe me?”

Yu Huang shook her head. “No.”

“According to my calculations, you’re the only person on the continent who possesses the Eternal Eye. You’re a natural prophet. Only your eyes can see the past and look towards the future. I can’t predict what will happen in the Holy Spirit Continent six years later, but you can!”

At this point, the Grand State Master became visibly agitated.

He grabbed Yu Huang’s arm and said with unconcealable excitement, “Child, if we can accurately predict what will happen in the Holy Spirit Continent six years from now, we will be able to find a solution in advance. Then, we will be able to risk our lives to save them!”

“Otherwise, when disaster strikes and we are in a critical situation, we can only wait for death!

“Child, the Holy Spirit Continent is the hometown that your father risked his life to protect. Do you really have the heart to see the Holy Spirit Continent destroyed? Do you have the heart to see the people on the continent plunged into misery and suffering?” These words were like a ‘benevolent saber’ hanging high above Yu Huang’s head. If she did not nod, it would appear that she was heartless.

Yu Huang’s mind was in a mess, and her consciousness was also disoriented. She looked at the Grand State Master, and her lips opened and closed again. This happened several times, but she was still unable to make a decision.

“I… I’m a little torn. Please let me go back and think it over.”

Hearing this, the Grand State Master was somewhat disappointed. “Child, are you going to reject me?”

Yu Huang pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.

The Grand State Master sighed. “Don’t you want to know what happened behind the Time Gate? Don’t you want to know what happened to your father back then?”

“When a bird’s nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact. Think about your family, your friends, and your boyfriend! Yu Huang, do you really have the heart to see this world destroyed in one day, see the Holy Spirit Continent flow with rivers of blood, and piles of corpses?”

The Grand State Master’s repeated questions made Yu Huang feel suffocated. Yu Huang immediately felt as if she had returned to the doomsday era.

It was as if she had become the ultimate inspector again, taking on the heavy responsibility of protecting humanity.

“Give me a little more time to think about it.” Yu Huang calmly looked at the Grand State Master and said, “Don’t force me.”

The Grand State Master looked at her deeply and finally nodded his head. “This time, don’t make me wait too long. You can wait, but not the Holy Spirit Continent.”

Yu Huang nodded. She picked up Yu Huang and was about to leave.

When she stood up, she heard the Grand State Master say, “There is a holy spring in the royal palace of the Light Sea’s Elven race. The holy water in it is the most nourishing thing for all demon beasts and spirit pets. You can collect more holy water for Yu Huang to drink. It might be effective.”

Yu Huang paused. She turned back to look at the Grand State Master and thanked him sincerely, “Thank you, Grand State Master.”

After she left the Divination Tower and returned to the Purifying Spirit Academy, Yu Huang was filled with worry all along the way.

Sensing her return, Lin Jiansheng arrived at the main door of the Purifying Spirit Academy early to wait for her. When he saw her return with Yu Huang, he asked, “Where did you go?”

Yu Huang seemed to have not heard his words and her reaction was a little slow. After a long time, she finally called out, “Mentor.”

Lin Jiansheng frowned. “Why are you so distracted? Who did you meet?”

Yu Huang gradually came back to her senses. She shook her head and said, “I met the Grand State Master.”

Lin Jiansheng was shocked. “The Grand State Master?”

Lin Jiansheng glanced in the direction of the Imperial City and saw a man in a gorgeous brocade robe standing on the Divination Building in the distance. Lin Jiansheng hurriedly bowed in that direction.

When the Grand State Master turned around and returned to his room, Lin Jiansheng then stood up and lowered her head to ask Yu Huang, “Why is the Grand State Master looking for you?”

Yu Huang said, “He’s snatching your disciple from you.”

Lin Jiansheng’s expression instantly darkened. “As the Grand State Master, how could he do such a bad thing! What’s going on? Tell me in detail when you get into the car.”

They were going to the space station and drove Yu Huang’s off-road vehicle.

Lin Jiansheng opened the car door at the back and sat inside. She couldn’t wait to ask, “The Grand State Master knows that you’re a Super Beast Form S Class Beast Tamer, so he wants to take you in as his disciple and impart his skills to you?”

Yu Huang shook her head and explained in a low voice, “No, he wants to teach me divination.”

Lin Jiansheng was shocked. “Divination?” He stared at Yu Huang for a moment before asking in surprise, “You’re also skilled in divination?”

“I’m not proficient, but my eyes can see the past and foresee the future.” Yu Huang touched her eyes and lowered her head. “The Grand State Master said that my eyes are the Eternal Eye.”

Lin Jiansheng gasped.

Yu Huang focused on the road in front of her. Without turning back, she asked, “Mentor, what is the Eternal Eye?”

Shocked, Lin Jiansheng said nothing for a long time. “Let me process it…”

Yu Huang didn’t pursue the matter.

When they arrived at the space station, Yu Huang stopped the car. Just as she was about to get off the car, she heard Lin Jiansheng say, “Some people say that the Eternal Eye is the eye of the Heavens. If time is a winding river, the Eternal Eye is the sun on this river. It knows what has happened and what will happen.” Hearing that, Yu Huang turned back to look at Lin Jiansheng. “Is it that powerful?”

Lin Jiansheng stared into Yu Huang’s eyes. Those brown eyes were clear and bright, and they were shimmering. They looked just like a pair of ordinary eyes. No matter how he looked at it, it didn’t seem to be the Eternal Eye. However, the Grand State Master’s judgment would not be wrong. Yu Huang told Lin Jiansheng, “The Grand State Master told me that a calamity will happen in the Holy Spirit Continent.”

Lin Jiansheng let out a long sigh and said, “The Grand State Master is right. The Eternal Eye will only appear in times of chaos. The Heavens is merciful and can’t bear to see a world completely destroyed, so it will leave an Eternal Eye in the human world. Ah Huang, if the Grand State Master wants to take you as his disciple, you have to agree.”

Yu Huang was a little shocked. She said to Lin Jiansheng, “But I’ve already acknowledged you as my mentor.”

However, Lin Jiansheng said, “But us cultivators should be concerned about the common people of the world. At this time, don’t worry about these small matters.”
