Under La Pluie’s secret celestial spell, the atmosphere in the Star Observing Hall gradually became serene, not only diminishing in noise but also restoring calmness to everyone’s emotions.
Those previously immersed in fragments of the future, under the celestial spell, all detached themselves from their personal emotions. The turmoil in those future fragments seemed to have become the concerns of strangers.
Now, they were merely observers, calmly contemplating everything that had happened.
When La Pluie performed the secret spell, he specifically glanced at Totoro, the prophecy apprentice who had caught his attention during previous Star Observing Days.
La Pluie noticed that, compared to Maya, his disciple Totoro was more silent. Under the celestial spell, he behaved as always, detached and calm, like a true observer of time and space.
Approval was evident in La Pluie’s eyes.
La Pluie’s expression was also noticed by other prophecy wizards. While some didn’t understand what there was to appreciate about Totoro, the central Observers understood La Pluie’s intent.
La Pluie evidently had high hopes for Totoro.
They were actually curious about Totoro as well, remembering his god-like demeanor during their Star Observing sessions. However, they didn’t immediately inquire about Totoro. Although Star Observing Day had ended, the real focus had yet to arrive.
As everyone regained their composure, they turned their expectant gazes towards La Pluie.
Understanding their anticipation, La Pluie slowly returned to his seat. After settling down, he surveyed the room and announced, “Star Observing Day has officially concluded. Now, it’s time for everyone to share and exchange their insights.”
As La Pluie’s voice fell, the vast majority of the audience held their breath in rapt attention. These prophecy wizards generally lacked the power to see the future amidst the Mysteries of Starlight, and it was for this very moment that they had traveled great distances from various places to convene in the Shining Plane.
Among these individuals, although the majority were carrying secret orders from their respective wizard organizations to attend this symposium, even without such commands, they would have come on their own accord. After all, gathering more future data would significantly benefit their own prophecy deductions.
Therefore, when the symposium officially commenced, no one uttered any more disruptive chatter, all eyes fixed on La Pluie, awaiting his announcement of the rules for this session.
“This symposium,” La Pluie began, pausing to glance at the Observers and then sweeping his gaze around the other prophecy wizards, “likely has the largest attendance in the last thirty years, including eleven Observers. I believe with so many distinguished wizards present, we’ll receive numerous prophecies that could influence the future landscape.”
“Given the large number of participants, let’s adopt independent speaking for this session’s rules.”
La Pluie usually allowed Observers to speak first, but this time he mentioned independent speaking, not restricting the order between Observers and regular prophecy wizards. This seemed fair on the surface, but some Observers harbored their suspicions.
For instance, at this moment, the Observer known as——“Guardian of the Dead Sea” Hydra, who had three heads all with eyes closed, was silently communicating with a close friend using mind-guiding spells.
“The Order of Speaking often indicates the importance of the content. La Pluie usually lets Observers speak first, suggesting their glimpses of the future are more valuable,” Hydra speculated with a pause. “But his choice of independent speaking this time, does it imply he believes that the prophecy wizards in the audience have seen significantly important fragments of the future too?”
Beside Hydra sat a thin figure shrouded in a tattered cloak, beneath which was a nearly desiccated skeleton. This was Hydra’s only friend in the Crown Star Church, a death prophecy wizard who lingered on the edges of death known as——”Step After Past Life” Azathoth.
Azathoth spoke lightly: “La Pluie is not a person who acts without reason. His arrangement for independent speech must have an underlying purpose. Thus, your speculation is very likely true.”
Hydra glanced softly at Maya: “Previously, Witch Maya lost her sense of time, perhaps that’s the reason La Pluie arranged these rules.”
Azathoth, noncommittal, lifted his head slightly, and a green phantom flame flickered in the black void of his eye sockets under the cloak: “Perhaps it’s not just Witch Maya who deserves attention; her disciple might also be worth watching.”
Hydra turned to Totoro, whom he had noticed before for his oddities, believing that Totoro might indeed have seen something important… though he didn’t consider it crucial.
Perceiving Hydra’s underestimation, Azathoth said lightly: “I have seen him on a previous Star Observing Day; his talent is bizarre, and his origin is unfathomable. La Pluie has some suspicions about who he might be…”
Azathoth paused, shaking his head under Hydra’s curious gaze, “Let’s wait until it’s confirmed before discussing further.”
Azathoth’s hesitation made Hydra pay extra attention to Totoro, and upon closer inspection, he indeed noticed something strange.
As Azathoth mentioned, Totoro’s origin was shrouded in mystery, his past and future seemingly constantly twisting.
This was a first for Hydra.
However, what alarmed Hydra the most was when he was discreetly observing Totoro, Totoro suddenly turned and looked directly at him. Although the gaze was calm, Hydra read a hint of rejection, even wariness, from those unflustered eyes.
Totoro surprisingly discovered his own surveillance?
An apprentice has uncovered his prophecy?!
This point greatly astonished Hydra, for he claimed to be observing covertly, yet he never truly focused on Totoro, merely calculating Totoro’s past and future on a prophecy level, discreetly.
Not only did Totoro discern someone’s secret observation, but he even pinpointed his own position. This incredibility was beyond Hydra’s belief.
Typically, only a formal wizard, especially one skilled in prophecy, can possess such heightened spiritual awareness to sense others’ prying amidst fluctuating destinies and shifting times.
A mere prophecy apprentice couldn’t possibly notice.
If Totoro has indeed pinpointed Hydra so accurately, does it imply that Totoro has, on a spiritual level, already attained the realm of a formal prophecy wizard? If so, would advancing to a formal wizard be effortlessly achieved once his physical form meets the criteria?
As Hydra was startled by his conjecture, elsewhere, La Pluie began to inquire among the others, “Who wishes to start the exchange now?”
