Chapter 1940 Peach Heart Theater <TOC> Chapter 1942 Vengeful Returnee
Translator: SumTLMan
In just a few minutes, the emotions of the majority of prophecy wizards present underwent a dramatic change.
Initially, they looked down on Totoro and didn’t believe he could command the attention of the first speaker, so they mostly showed contempt and ridicule towards Totoro. However, reality often surprises, and the more you think something is impossible, the more likely it is to happen in that direction.
Totoro not only managed to command the scene in the end, but his prophecy also stirred up a thousand waves with one statement.
Because as a powerful prophecy wizard, Milbury’s entrance into the Peach Heart Theater meant that the chances of finding a breakthrough to the legendary realm inside the theater skyrocketed.
If this news were to spread, it’s estimated that all the wizards in the Southern Region who are close to becoming legendary would be tempted!
This prophecy’s importance can be ranked in the top three of the initial announcements made on the Star Observing Day over the past decade!
It’s nearly as significant as the ‘Paramjit Plateau Planar Fusion’ prophecy made by Shura a year ago. If it’s confirmed that the Peach Heart Theater holds a tremendous opportunity, then it’s even more significant.
Such a prophecy was actually announced by an apprentice of prophecy!
This made the majority of prophecy wizards present feel deeply embarrassed.
They naturally didn’t dare to show contempt for Totoro anymore and even felt a bit ashamed to look at him directly.
However, they adjusted their emotions quickly. One second they were in shame, the next, they were calm, and in secret, they even congratulated Witch Maya for having such an excellent disciple.
Totoro’s excellence has already been displayed. There is no need to create a rift due to personal emotions against a genius who has begun to show their edge. Maintaining good relations is the correct choice, as one might need to seek favors in the future.
Just like Angel, even when he was still an apprentice, because of his alchemy, many wizards have already begun to show goodwill. This is the advantage of having skills and a voice.
Moreover, these prophecy wizards are also aware of their limitations. They themselves are not the central figures of the Star Observing event. Totoro, having issued such an important prophecy first, should not be their concern, but rather that of the Observers.
Don’t be fooled by the Observers’ calm demeanor; the prophecies they bring out for discussion later might not compare to Totoro’s.
Of course, this is not a significant issue for the Observers. When it’s their turn to share, a simple “indescribable” will suffice. This is like what Schickel has done many times before during the Star Observing, never revealing what he has seen.
Not speaking is not a problem, but with Totoro setting a precedent as an apprentice, if these elders remain silent, it would be somewhat embarrassing.
However, this is not their current concern. What they care more about now is the issue with the Peach Heart Theater.
If things go as expected, once the exchange concludes, the prophecy of the Peach Heart Theater will inevitably become a key topic in the Southern Region’s Wizarding World for some time. Having more advanced information at this moment is definitely advantageous.
Thus, Totoro and Hastur became the center of the discussion. Everyone wanted to get more information from them, but Totoro maintained his silence, unwilling to speak more; Hastur, on the other hand, said a few more words, mostly warnings. It’s fine to be an audience member, but one should be cautious about registering as an actor.
Because once an actor has no opportunity to perform, they are destined to be eliminated.
The heat of the exchange continued to burn, not just among ordinary apprentices, but some Observers began to join the discussion as well.
As the meeting was about to devolve into a full-blown discussion about the Peach Heart Theater, La Pluie quickly intervened.
“Peach Heart Theater is indeed a Major Announcement, but after such an extended exchange, it’s time to consider other prophecies. Or do you all intend to spend the entire day engrossed in the topic of Peach Heart Theater?”
Naturally, the attendees weren’t inclined to focus solely on that one subject. While Peach Heart Theater was important, having a wider array of future glimpses was always preferable. After all, there was no rush in discussions.
La Pluie, seeing the hall return to calm, nodded at Totoro in thanks. This gesture was his way of acknowledging Totoro’s contribution of an excellent prophecy for the Star Observing Day exchange. Without saying a word to Totoro, that single nod conveyed La Pluie’s recognition and appreciation.
La Pluie’s acknowledgment signified not only his approval but also that of the Crown Star Church and the circle of prophecy wizards towards Totoro. It also meant that, in the future, Totoro could attend the Star Observing Day without needing to rely on the reputation of Witch Maya.
In essence, Totoro, through this opportunity, had truly entered the spotlight. After today, once the news spread, even beyond the circle of prophecy wizards, Totoro’s name would inevitably become a focal point in the extraordinary world.
Even his fame might rival those supernovas of the Novastar Competition.
No one present raised any objections, including Ivan, who had previously shown dislike towards Totoro. Now, no further words were needed because this was a status Totoro had earned for himself.
No one considered Totoro’s success mere luck. While the Mystery of Starlight does hold an element of randomness, the larger part relies on the ability to observe stars and the gift of prophecy. Totoro’s revelation about the Peach Heart Theater had already proven his prowess.
“Let’s continue with the exchange,” La Pluie said, shifting his gaze away from Totoro. “Who will go next?”
Typically, after the initial speaker, the other prophecy wizards would feel less pressure and thus eager to participate. However, today, with Totoro, a prophecy apprentice, speaking first and performing so flawlessly, he set a high bar, exerting considerable pressure on those who followed. This led to an unusual moment where, for a time, no one spoke up.
After a good while, Shura, sitting in the Observer’s seat, broke the silence.
“I’ll go,” Shura took over the conversation, not to share his own prophecy, but to first address another matter: “Before I discuss the prophecy I witnessed, I want to clarify a doubt in my mind about the Peach Heart Theater from earlier.”
Shura’s gaze turned to La Pluie: “I’ve been listening for a while, and I still don’t understand, what exactly is the Peach Heart Theater? Is it a Mysterious Object?”
La Pluie shook his head: “It might have some characteristics of a Mysterious Object, but records don’t state it as one.”
On the other side, Hastur added: “I once asked my mentor the same question, and his answer was——”
“Rather than saying the Peach Heart Theater is a Mysterious Object, it’s more like it’s the manifestation of the will of some pinnacle transcendent being.”
Shura: “How should I understand that statement?”
Hastur: “I don’t know the specifics. But my mentor gave me an example… the Time Thief.”
Time Thief? Peach Heart Theater?
Hastur’s words left everyone stunned.
The Time Thief is not an unfamiliar term in the Southern Region; they are well aware of some of the Time Thief’s responsibilities. He is the one who steals others’ choices to forge his own path.
The Time Thief is definitely a pinnacle transcendent being, his will is to steal others’ choices.
So, the Peach Heart Theater might also be the will of a transcendent being. But what are the laws of the Peach Heart Theater? Is it to make people become actors in the theater?
They vaguely felt like they understood something, but it was as if a layer of mist obscured much information.
Everyone present is a prophecy wizard, understanding that this layer of mist represents something profound…
After all, top extraordinary beings are far from them, and their attempts to glimpse these matters are a kind of presumption. Such presumption naturally forms a barrier, and this asymmetry of information becomes the enigma they face.
After realizing this truth, all the prophecy wizards restrained their runaway thoughts, daring not to ponder further on this issue to avoid sinking deeper the more they thought.
However, their regard for the Peach Heart Theater was silently elevated in their hearts.
