Chapter 85 The Gossip Girl of Universe 1
The girl looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.

She was wearing a set of light blue blouse with a collar, which had a classic feel.

Her long, jet-black hair was casually tied back with a simple jade hairpin.

On her small, slightly chubby, fair face, her features were so delicate that she looked like a figure in a painting.

Her eyes were as deep as a still pool.

Without the slightest emotional fluctuation, as if he had seen through the vicissitudes of life.

Her ID is displayed as "Stargazer", and her cosmic number is "1".

Li Zhe raised an eyebrow slightly.

Universe 1...

The "Magic Universe" that has taken the path of combining technology and mysticism?
"Hello, my name is Li Zhe," he greeted politely.

The girl merely glanced at him indifferently and did not introduce herself.

"You have two Nightmare Crystals on you," she said slowly, stating a fact.

Li Zhe felt a sudden chill.

How does this guy know?
Doesn't the Starry Sky Trading Hall block all kinds of detection?
“Lu Ke from Universe 8 mentioned you to me.” The girl seemed to see through his thoughts and continued in her ethereal voice, “I did some simple divination and deduction based on the information about you, and thus roughly predicted that you might enter the trading hall again at this time.”

"Divination?"

A look of doubt appeared on Li Zhe's face.

Are all the guys in Universe 1 this mysterious?

"As a magical mecha pilot, I possess some insignificant power that allows me to glimpse the trajectory of fate."

The girl's tone remained as calm as ever.

"I am Song Yuan, from Universe 1. I am here to make a deal with you."

Li Zhe became interested: "What kind of deal?"

"I will perform a divination for you to answer your questions, or... to ward off bad luck."

A barely perceptible glint flashed in Song Yuan's eyes: "And you, you need to do me a favor."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhe became even more vigilant.

This whole thing—divination and exorcising bad luck—is obviously up to no good.

"what do you want?"

“It’s very simple.” Song Yuan looked at Li Zhe and said slowly, “I want a…”

"Regarding your Blue Planet No. 7..."

"A collection of myths... preferably the kind of bedtime story book for preschool children."

"What? What do you want that thing for?"

“Although our Universe 1 has methods for utilizing mysticism, the true names and stories of those gods have long been lost in the long river of history.” Song Yuan’s tone carried a hint of melancholy. “And if we want to gain further power, recognizing and understanding those gods is a crucial step.”

She paused, then continued, "We tried to trade with several other blue planets in other universes, but their mythologies are not the same as ours."

"Your planet, Blue Planet No. 7, is our last hope."

"I see."

Li Zhe roughly understood.

"So, how should this transaction proceed?"

“It’s very simple,” Song Yuan said. “At the auction a few days from now, please put a collection of myths from your world up for auction. Our Universe 1 will definitely offer you a price that satisfies you.”

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

After thinking about it, Li Zhe felt that this deal didn't seem to be a bad one.

"Then as a deposit, could you please help me calculate what's wrong with my luck lately?"

He told Song Yuan about his recent unfortunate experience of being involved in three consecutive plane crashes.

Upon hearing this, Song Yuan closed her eyes.

It seems that some kind of mysterious ritual is being performed.

She stretched out her slender fingers and drew intricate runes in the air.

He was muttering something under his breath.

A moment later, she opened her eyes and looked at Li Zhe with an extremely strange expression.

"I need to know some of your...personal preferences in order to make more accurate deductions."

"What are your preferences?" "For example... do you prefer flat-chested or giant-chested animals?"

"what?"

Do you prefer mature women or cute girls?

"Forehead……"

Do you prefer black or white stockings?

"..."

"Do you prefer top or bottom..."

"...Does this have anything to do with divination?"

“Of course there are,” Song Yuan said seriously. “Everything is connected, and the threads of fate are often hidden in these seemingly insignificant choices.”

Li Zhe was completely baffled by her nonsensical theories.

But I still patiently answered her question.

After listening, Song Yuan closed her eyes again.

This time, she remained silent for an even longer period.

When she opened her eyes again, her face was pale, as if she had exhausted a great deal of mental energy.

"I... I think I understand."

Her voice carried a hint of weariness.

"The phenomenon you are experiencing is very common in our universe."

"When a living being acquires extraordinary power that transcends the ordinary."

"His fate will then be in some strange connection with the rules of the entire universe."

"This is an equivalent exchange."

"Once you gain power, you must also bear the corresponding 'limitations'."

"From this day forward, you will know what to do and what not to do."

"Once your actions cross that invisible red line."

"Then it will be 'corrected' by fate, which is what you call... misfortune."

Li Zhe was stunned.

This was the first time he had ever heard of such a mysterious theory.

“Your world was originally a dull and uninteresting world strictly limited by the laws of physics,” Song Yuan continued. “But the arrival of the abyss broke this balance.”

“Those ancient, mysterious, powerful, and fictional beings that have been passed down in the history of your world may gradually become reality... You, and those ‘awakeners’ in your world, are the best proof.”

"what do you mean……"

"According to my divination... similar situations may have already occurred around you... for example, some people may be destined never to go to an amusement park... some people may be destined never to have a romantic relationship..."

Song Yuan's words gave Li Zhe a sudden realization.

He thought of Su Li, who was unable to go to Disneyland because of her awakening.

It also reminded me of Bai Wangshu, who was suddenly sent to participate in some all-female training camp...

Is it...

Is all of this related to some kind of "rule restriction" in the dark?
"Then what are my limitations?" Li Zhe pressed.

“This… I’m sorry, I can’t see through it directly.” Song Yuan shook her head, a hint of apology on her face. “The trajectory of fate is full of variables… and the variables surrounding you are too great for me to see through.”

"I can only make some vague guesses based on the clues you provided."

She looked at Li Zhe, a complex light flashing in her deep eyes.

"The thing you can't do is... you can no longer fly."

Li Zhe's lips twitched.

What kind of restriction is this?
Is this how you treat me?
Song Yuan continued, her tone tinged with uncertainty.

"However, I think perhaps a more appropriate way to put it would be..."

She paused, then said, word by word:

"You cannot go to higher places."

"No..."

"Towards the stars..."
