Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

【"Meow~"

A chubby black cat crouches in the darkness surrounding you.

[Two eerie green eyes were revealed.]

[While savoring the nuances of emotion, my gaze lingered between the two of you.]

[As you instructed, it had already allowed the inner demon to invade Yu Ci's mind and lie dormant in the shadows.]

[If you want to reverse your thoughts and stance on revising the remaining words.]

[Through the insidious methods of inner demons, one can seize and control.]

But considering the current situation...

You did not exploit your inner demons, nor did you attack your mental weaknesses, amplify your darkness, or manipulate them.

[It relies entirely on insight into human nature to influence inner thoughts through external circumstances.]

[This will shake the stance of Yu Ci, a key figure being cultivated in the Western Regions.]

[You still say you're not a demon from beyond the realm?]

Xu Kun wagged his tail, his eyes fixed on you, revealing an all-knowing arrogance.

You ignored what that silly cat was thinking about again.

[Noticing the change in Yu Ci's expression.]

[I understand.]

This was a blank sheet of paper, but after you carelessly splattered ink on it, it fell into confusion, hesitation, and dependence.

You pondered in your heart.

[Pondering how to arrange the remaining words.]

From the moment you laid the groundwork for Yongzhou until now, Yu Ci has been nothing more than a pawn you casually placed on a chessboard.

In the struggle with the Western Regions, these are all insignificant matters.

At least for you, it didn't serve as a backup plan.

[Purely used to disgust the other person.]

[I declined to speak to Jiang Bofu, and to the entire Western Regions.]

The more important their position, the more distressed they will be at this moment.

[As for what to do with Yu Ci after you've poached him, you really haven't considered it.]

[A peerless genius in the art of divination.]

Now, with your insightful "foresight," we have broken free from the constraints of divination and fortune-telling.

[Able to "predict" the future.]

[In the top-tier human powers, these individuals would be the focus of their cultivation and would already be able to play a significant role.]

[In the future, they may even be able to pass on their lineage and establish their own sect.]

[The art of divination, in particular, demands an extremely high level of talent.]

[It's not just about comprehension, but also about the compatibility with the rules of heaven and earth, the operation of numerology, and the ability to deduce and observe.]

Yu Ci is clearly one of these rare individuals.

[Perfectly suited to this path.]

Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to rely solely on your experience with "foresight."

[Thus, one comprehends the concept of "measurement."]

[This talent, and the extraordinary ability to be second only to the celestial beings, unparalleled in the world.]

The portion is heavy enough.

You're not in a rush to make a decision yet.

Whether it's bringing Yu Ci into the central courtyard, or acting as your eyes to divine the future for you.

[The strategy remains: to engage in worldly affairs while simultaneously making strategic moves elsewhere.]

[Their uses are all very significant.]

The black cat's meow caught Yu Ci's attention.

[He looked up at the eyes that blended into the darkness, revealing only a pair of eerie green pupils.]

[His gaze fell upon you.]

That was a look of trepidation, expectation, inquiry, and confusion in his eyes.

[A person who is unattached, without any emotional attachments, like a blank sheet of paper splattered with ink.]

They often seize upon her most deeply felt weakness.

[This is how one establishes oneself in the world.]

Otherwise, one is like a rootless duckweed, drifting aimlessly, without a place to call home.

As your gaze shifted, the ethereal darkness that emanated from you vanished.

He revealed a gentle smile: "If you don't want to return to the Western Regions, then come with me for now, see the world, and find your direction."

【"Um."】

Yu Ci responded in a cool, detached voice.

Her clear, glass-like eyes concealed a complex mix of emotions.

[Clear and bright, yet mysterious and ethereal, beyond comprehension.]

The corners of your mouth curved slightly.

[His demeanor and bearing are almost 80% similar to yours; no one would believe they weren't from the same school.]

[If Wen Fei's acting style is unintentionally exaggerated.]

[You are hereby ordered to immediately link her to the Holy Sect.]

After the billowing black smoke dissipated, all the soldiers except Wei Qi and Pang Hai were ordered to be cleared from the area.

[Now that you have finished your conversation.]

They couldn't help but cast curious, gossipy glances their way.

Yu Ci has existed for ten years now.

Even Wei Qi, whose mind is filled with nothing but killing.

[I occasionally think about it and ask if the deadly situation surrounding her has worsened.]

[During the last inquiry.]

[It has already been...]

Wei Qi's thoughts suddenly drifted, a moment of blankness passing by.

Then, a feeling of deep emotion welled up within me.

[Only with divine intervention can this predicament be maintained.]

Now, Yu Ci has escaped his predicament.

This means that imprisoning her again will no longer be a simple matter.

[The Heavenly Beings have set a trap to encircle and annihilate us.]

Perhaps she can foresee all of this, allowing her to avoid risks and find a way out of seemingly hopeless situations.

This is the mystery of divination.

In direct combat, there is no single weapon with absolutely overwhelming and lethal destructive power.

[It can be used as an auxiliary measure or for self-defense.]

[Its survival ability and the role it plays can then be fully amplified.]

The existence of appositives.

Those skilled in divination often manage to outmaneuver even celestial warriors.

Wei Qi keenly noticed the subtle tension between you and Yu Ci.

[We now understand that this diviner, a prodigy in divination, is one of our own.]

After nodding in greeting, he bid you farewell and went to reorganize the military affairs of Yongzhou.

From a war machine running at full speed, negotiations and battles have now ceased.

There are many things that require his decision.

Although the second-generation Pang Hai wanted to gossip, the first-generation Pang Hai pulled him away.

The first generation leader, Xu Hui, drifted like a lost ghost atop the city wall.

Her gaze lingered between you and Yu Ci.

He clearly had many doubts and questions he wanted to ask, but he couldn't find the words to express them, and eventually even his doubts disappeared.

[I can only add another entry to my notebook.]

Then he took his leave to assist Wei Qi and Pang Hai.

[You see the First Generation leader, Xu Hui, existing as a conscious entity, a ghost-like phantom.]

Whether it's Wei Qi, Pang Hai, or Xu Kun.

No one noticed anything unusual about him.

There was no doubt as to whom his consciousness resided.

Yu Ci stood quietly behind you, her appearance aloof, mysterious, and ethereal.

[After observing the state of the first-generation Xu Hui.]

[Slightly puzzled, then wanting to perform divination.]

A sudden, blank moment.

Then I felt lost and confused, not knowing what I wanted to divine.

Immediately, this doubt vanished.

[Completely erased.]

You notice subtle changes in the scene.

[The broken mirror's gaze lingers on the departing phantom of the First Generation, Xu Hui.]

Gradually, the cold, deep light in his eyes was veiled by a misty haze.

[And it erodes into the depths of your consciousness.]

Fortunately, you have an absolutely unwavering will and remain unaffected.

【but…… 】

The broken mirror's gaze can no longer perceive his presence...

You thought to yourself.

Now, you are unaffected, and you haven't forgotten.

However, even the Eyes of the Broken Mirror could not fathom the mystery.

[Observe his current state.]

You marvel at how they've forged their own unique and extraordinary path.

It's inevitable to feel worried.
