The Growth of a God

Chapter 196 Divination (33)

"Ah? You're not going to catch up?"

Staring blankly at the evil spirit, Xiao Feng's brain froze for a moment.

Since we know that He Bo and Luo Shen are in danger, how can we save them if we don't go with them?
"Kid, have you ever heard of the saying 'a victory is decided from a thousand miles away'?"

Xiao Feng continued to look confused, obviously not understanding Huodou's subtext.

However, what happened next completely shattered Xiao Feng's three views.

"Divination is different from fortune-telling."

"It is a special kind of witchcraft from the Chu State during the pre-Qin period."

"Ordinary divination can only predict good or bad fortune, which is equivalent to peeking at the direction of the general trend in advance."

"The capable fortune tellers among them may be able to prepare in advance and avoid the advent of misfortune to a certain extent."

"But no matter what, it is just a small detail that follows the general trend."

There was a slight pause in his tone, and when Huodou said this, a wisp of black flame ignited on his fingertips again.

"But divination is different. The ancient Chu State has always had the tradition of 'exorcising gods and controlling ghosts'."

"Their divination was never intended to predict the future, but to change the future."

"In the eyes of this group of people, they can only predict the 'future' they want."

As if to confirm Huotou's words, this time he directly pressed the flame in his hand on the ominous omen in the center of the tortoise shell.

Click!

In an instant, spiritual light flashed from the tortoise shell.

The cracks on the tortoise shell spread instantly, and the originally bad omen instantly turned into good luck.

After being interfered with, the mysterious situation suddenly turned into a real misfortune that befell Huo Dou.

Fortunately, Huo Dou was a being that controlled misfortune, and the materialized misfortune was swallowed up by him before it could take any effect.

"belch!"

Under Xiao Feng's stunned gaze, the Huo Dou that swallowed the misfortune burped loudly.

A wisp of black smoke visible to the naked eye floated out from his seven orifices and was soon completely ignited and extinguished by the black flames.

"This this……"

Although I don't know what happened.

But Xiao Feng could still clearly see the scene where the great disaster on the tortoise shell turned into great fortune.

"Want to learn?"

With a smile on his face and a satisfied look, Huodou turned around and asked Xiaofeng.

"Can I... learn?"

It would be a lie to say that he didn't want to learn, but Xiao Feng was still very self-aware.

He is not a human being at all, and all his abilities were sealed by Huodou not long ago.

Wouldn't it be a bit too unusual to learn such mysterious magic nowadays?
"Of course you can learn, or rather, you are the only one who can learn here."

"Every divination will inevitably bring about a backlash of luck."

"Either you can directly swallow up bad luck like me, or you have an extremely noble fate..."

"Otherwise, if a mortal learns this kind of divination, the final outcome can only be described as horrible."

Hearing the sound of the strings, one can understand the elegant meaning. Xiao Feng, who is not stupid to begin with, immediately understood the hidden meaning of Huo Dou's words.

"My fate... is very noble?"

He laughed again and nodded to confirm what Xiaofeng said.

"It's expensive, and it's so expensive that it's beyond words."

"If you were born in a feudal dynasty, you would at least be a prince or a noble."

Blinking his eyes, Xiao Feng asked in confusion.

"But I'm not a human?" Shrugging his shoulders slightly, Huodou asked directly.

"Who told you that only people have destiny?"

What Huodou didn't say here is that Xiaofeng's fate is still in a weakened state.

The incarnation of the vertical-eyed god totem in its complete state is a genuine "godhood".

As long as it is not in a place like the [Sinking Zone] where everything is destroyed, it is a potential seed of ascension to God.

“Everything has a place, and different species have different ecological niches.”

"This divination method is a way to change your destiny, and it is also a way to elevate yourself."

"Only when you are strong enough can you influence a greater destiny."

I have to admit that Xiao Feng was indeed moved by the evil spirit.

But after the excitement, a question suddenly popped up in Xiao Feng's mind.

"who I am?"

After a brief silence, Xiao Feng mustered up the courage to look up and look Huo Dou in the eye, and asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

Xiao Feng has no memory of being the incarnation of the Vertical-Eyed God totem.

His earliest memory came from He Jiali, from that lonely and cold night.

It was not until Xiao Feng was deprived of his divinity and his abilities were eliminated by the evil spirit that he felt that he was truly born as a human being.

However, this does not mean that Xiao Feng is no longer curious about the memories of his previous life - even though he knows that he should not be curious.

"You really want to know?"

Instead of rejecting Xiao Feng right away, Huodou just asked again with a smile.

Huodou knew clearly from the beginning that Xiaofeng would sooner or later be curious about the memories of his previous incarnation. This was an indisputable fact.

However, unlike He Bo and Luo Shen who have been avoiding this problem, Huo Dou understands that the real way to solve the problem is to face the problem itself.

"Your predecessor was very noble, much nobler than you can imagine."

"But equally, the memories of your previous life are painful, ten thousand times more painful than you can imagine."

"You are you now, an ordinary person who is a little special but still has human cognition."

"But once you think clearly and want to pursue the memories of your previous life, you will no longer be human."

Looking at Xiao Feng who looked hesitant, Huodou continued to add.

"By that time, I will stand against you, Luoshen will stand against you, and Hebo will also become your enemy."

"As for the girl you like, do you think she will still accept you like that?"

Slowly lowering his head, Xiao Feng began to really think about this problem for the first time.

Should he regain the memory of his previous incarnation and become a strange and even terrifying existence to himself?
Or should I stick to my current self and enjoy the life where I am cherished, cared for and protected?
Do I have a choice?

Suddenly with a bitter smile, Xiao Feng remembered the fire god with a dog's head and a human body that night.

I want to recover the memories of my previous life, and the current Huotou may not stop me.

But once he did that, Xiao Feng was almost certain that what was waiting for him next time would not be the seal.

“I actually like my current life.”

Xiao Feng, who had already made up his mind, raised his head again, and his fear of the Huodou was no longer in his words.

"Sister Luo is very kind to me, and Uncle He is also in the process of going through the procedures to adopt me..."

"Although you look a little fierce, I can see that you care about me."

"I want to continue living this way and protect those who love me and those I love."

"So, Brother Huo, please teach me the divination method!"
