Chapter 587 - - 493 Defying Heaven to Change Fate_3

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Yuan Xiaoyan bit her lip, feeling the tension in the air. She didn’t respond to Hong Xin, instead, she directed a pleading look at Duge.

Stupid!

How could such a heaven-defying keyword be spoken out loud?

Duge shook his head helplessly, “Xiaoyan, come out with me for a moment.”

“Brother Lin, let her share the divination results,” Fan Lie said. “Actually, we also want to know if our respective planets can secure top three places.”

“Yeah,” Ying Fei echoed. “We don’t want to be busy till the end, only to have done the greater part of the work for someone else.

Xiang Jiaojiao’s gaze shifted toward Meng Lanyun and Zhao Mei. Yuan Xiaoyan’s newly awakened skill was so formidable that it could shatter the team Duge had put together.

After all.

They admired Duge, but that didn’t mean they were willing to share their resources.

The meeting room bristled with hostility.

Duge looked around at everyone and smiled, “Yuan Xiaoyan, you can tell them the result.”

Yuan Xiaoyan glanced at Hong Xin and said, “Lanchen Star’s divination is ‘a full return.’”

Hong Xin was overjoyed. Xu Wan and Xiang Jiaojiao exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief.

“What about Midday Star?” Fan Lie asked.

After a moment of silence, Yuan Xiaoyan said, “All’s well that ends well.”

“What does that mean?” Fan Lie asked.

“It should mean that there’s a reward too,” Yuan Xiaoyan stuttered. “I can only see the divination, but I can’t see its true meaning. When I did it for Guo Yougui and the others, it was the same.”

“What about Sirius?” Ying Fei asked.

“Abundant harvest,” Yuan Xiaoyan took a deep breath and gave another auspicious term. At that moment, she was even more grateful for Duge teaching her the true method of divination.

“Can I know about Purple Hero Star?” Zhang Xueqi asked.

“A wasted effort,” Yuan Xiaoyan said. She wasn’t foolish enough not to know who had authority in the National Defense Bureau and who didn’t. With three spots already allocated, Zhang Xueqi, being isolated, was naturally out of the running. With Duge there, giving him an unfavorable prediction wouldn’t stir any waves.

“I knew it,” Zhang Xueqi said with a wry smile, shaking his head resignedly.

“Xueqi, in this game, there are wins and losses. The people of Purple Hero Star are unlucky not to have worked with us. It’s normal for them not to get a place,” Duge glanced at him comforting, “why don’t you ask about your own divination?”

“Can I make it back alive?” Zhang Xueqi asked.

“Safe return,” Yuan Xiaoyan looked at him and said.

Zhang Xueqi was startled, then relieved, and chuckled, “That’s enough for me.”

Sang Chao, Yu Lian, and others also inquired about the fate of their stars and themselves. Yuan Xiaoyan, now proficient in divination, naturally provided answers that satisfied everyone.

Their keywords weren’t significant; surviving to return was satisfaction enough. They naturally didn’t care whether their planets could place or not.

The difficulty of defeating Duge was too high.

“Brother Lin, all three of our planets have good divinations. What about Qiyuan Star?” Fan Lie asked. “Aren’t you going to ask Yuan Xiaoyan about the divination?”

“I never thought about placing to begin with,” Duge said with a smile as he glanced at him. “Otherwise, with my ability, I would have been out in space and destroyed the entirety of Green Star before you even realized what was happening. Would I have let you stay until now?

“Qiyuan Star’s resources are enough to maintain us for several years. I’ve told you, my goal is to change back the twisted rules of the Alien Battlefield set by Duge, allowing more people to survive and return. At the very least, we cannot let the next Alien Battlefield have only three places available for allocation.”

He smiled and looked at Yuan Xiaoyan, “Tell them, what’s the divination for Qiyuan Star?”

Looking at Duge, Yuan Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment before uttering softly, “A fruitless journey.”

As soon as she finished.

The meeting room fell silent again.

Fan Lie, Xin Tianyang, and others might still hold some doubts, but the likes of Xu Wan now looked at Duge with utter admiration and reverence.

“A fruitless journey, ah!” Duge looked at Yuan Xiaoyan with a semblance of regret and a trace of relief before laughing dryly, “That’s also quite acceptable, at least I’m returning.”

He clapped his hands, energizing himself, “Alright, now that everyone knows their future fate, you can rest easy. It’s time for the real work.

“Actually, a divination is just a temporary outcome. There are other key terms such as change and destiny that can cause variance in the result. To turn a divination into reality still depends on our own efforts.

“Moving forward, let’s work together to ensure that Yuan Xiaoyan’s divination becomes a set fact. As for Xiaoyan’s fate-changing ability, you shouldn’t dwell on it.

“Trying to change the outcome of an Alien Battlefield might cost us our lives, and it’s not worth it.

“Our ultimate goal is to make sure every team member survives to the end while maximizing gains, not sacrificing someone for the sake of another. This might be what Pan-Universe Entertainment wants to see, but for us, it’s meaningless…”
