"The Immortal Ship," he said, "the period before and after the War of the Gods."

The black swan was stunned.

"God...war?"

“Hmm.” Jiang Jiu nodded. “The hunt for the Immortal Ship by the Universe, plus the later destruction and the battle between Harmony and the Hunt, if possible, please focus on recreating Amber King’s hammer blow.”

Black Swan: "???"

Family members, if she really saw it, will she still be alive to see tomorrow's sun?

"Excuse me... if I may ask, why are you hunting down the Immortal Ship...?"

After all, in the universe, even if the Immortal Ship is not a particularly righteous force, it is still a relatively reasonable major force.

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and said directly, "You can see for yourself. If it doesn't involve the end times, I wouldn't bother..."

The black swan looked down at its hands with some hesitation, both hesitant and expectant.

The anticipation is... judging from Shi Jin's description, this must be a truly grand scene... a war of gods...

An ordinary person might never even see a star god in their entire life... that's a battle between gods...

Hunting, destruction, harmony...

There was even a hammer blow from the King of Amber...

Honestly, as someone who remembers, Black Swans are genuinely curious about these memories... Why do the Star Gods fight? And what is the final outcome?

She was indeed a little curious.

But... the hesitation lies in the fact that she really is going to die!

After hesitating for a long time, she asked cautiously.

"I...can I have a fortune telling done for myself? It'll be quick..."

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and nodded.

"Please go ahead."

Black Swan took a deep breath, took out the tarot cards in her hand, and began her initial preparations very seriously.

She silently repeated something to herself a few times before drawing three cards from the deck.

She paused for a moment, then turned over the first card.

She was stunned for a moment when she saw it.

...The Grim Reaper?

Something seems... off?

Black Swan hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and turned over the second card.

"..."

A tall tower.

Black Swan's hand froze for a moment.

She looked up at Jiang Jiu, her voice trembling slightly.

"...Lord Shi Jin, are you... sure you've taken any protective measures?"

Jiang Jiu glanced at the cards in front of Black Swan.

Hmm, I don't understand.

"Are you sure there's something wrong with the cards?"

The black swan gritted its teeth, and although it felt there was little chance of a turnaround, it still revealed the third card.

Sword Ten.

Chapter 179 The Authority of the Amber King

The black swan's heart is half dead.

The upright Death, the Tower, and the Ten of Swords.

None of the three cards had any auspicious meaning; together, they were practically like dancing a rave on her grave.

She raised her head and looked at Jiang Jiu, her eyes filled with the last glimmer of hope: "Your Excellency, are you sure... you really will protect me?"

Seeing the black swan repeatedly seeking confirmation, Jiang Jiu glanced at the tarot cards, puzzled.

It certainly doesn't look like a good hand.

"Is there something wrong with the sign? Is it a dead end?"

Black Swan took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice steady.

“The Grim Reaper upright…” she pointed to the first card, her voice trembling, “representing an end, a conclusion, an inevitable upheaval, not an ordinary end, but the kind that… has no turning back.”

Jiang Jiu raised an eyebrow.

Black Swan then pointed to the second card, his hand trembling even more violently: "The Tower... represents collapse, destruction, and a sudden upheaval of everything, which usually means... the existing order will be completely destroyed, and the person involved will suffer a severe blow."

She paused, then added, "And it was the kind of... sudden, unavoidable, devastating blow."

Jiang Jiu didn't respond.

The Black Swan finally points to the third card: "Ten of Swords...represents utter defeat, an irreversible ending. Ten swords piercing one person's body simultaneously—can you imagine that scene? It's...it's..."

She couldn't continue.

The three cards, placed together, were practically a declaration of her death.

Jiang Jiu remained silent for two seconds.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "You believe in this?"

The black swan paused for a moment, then asked, "Huh?"

“Tarot cards,” Jiang Jiu asked, “do you believe in what they say?”

The black swan opened its mouth, but for a moment it didn't know what to say.

She is a tarot reader and occasionally uses tarot cards for divination, but it's more of a professional habit and a supplementary tool. As far as she's concerned, she doesn't completely believe in everything the cards predict.

But I don't completely believe it.

But these three cards today were incredibly accurate.

It was so accurate it sent chills down her spine.

"I..." she began with difficulty, "I don't completely believe it, but..."

"Then don't believe it." Jiang Jiu interrupted her. "I guarantee your safety. I mean it. If something really happens to you, I'll give you my life."

Black Swan: "...?"

What do you mean by "paying with your own life"? That's even more terrifying, isn't it?

Looking into Jiang Jiu's calm, emotionless eyes, Black Swan couldn't tell whether he was genuinely confident or just needlessly arrogant.

But... for geniuses, being a little arrogant doesn't seem to be a problem, right?

Jiang Jiu didn't urge her; he was waiting for the black swan's choice, even though she had no other choice.

Logically speaking... isn't his identity in this storyline more legitimate than in the previous one? He even has a protected envoy, so why is Black Swan more afraid?

Somewhat strange.

However, considering the protection order...

Jiang Jiu said, "You are a meme, right? I can protect your original body. At the very least, it won't be a dead end. I guarantee it in the name of the Guardian Envoy."

The black swan hesitated for a moment.

Was the custody order actually real after all...?

For the first time, she truly felt the difference between an ordinary person and a psychopath.

She took a deep breath and looked down at the three cards.

The upright Death, the Tower, and the Ten of Swords.

Then she looked up at Jiang Jiu.

“Your Excellency,” she said softly, “may I ask you a question?”

"ask."

"That memory..." she paused, "was it important to you?"

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment, but instead of answering whether it was important or not, he said, "Compared to me, perhaps the Milky Way needs this memory more, as it represents one of the Milky Way's fates of heading towards its end."

The fate of the galaxy...

The black swan took a deep breath.

"Okay, I agree."

"Thank you very much, Ms. Black Swan."

After a brief preparation, Black Swan looked into Jiang Jiu's purple pupils.

"Then... Lord Shi Jin, tell me, what did you see...?"

A light shone in the Black Swan's eyes as she looked into Jiang Jiu's calm gaze, and some memories became tangible.

Jiang Jiu didn't move.

Hei Ta walked over to Jiang Jiu, glanced at the cards next to him, and said casually.

"What are you going to do about the train?"

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment: "I'll go to the place where the mourners are, and I'll take the Glazed Light to 'Patrevinia,' hmm... most likely just to take a look. I don't think there's anything there that could lead to the end."

"Then are you still going?"

"We still need to investigate. I don't know the exact location of the Fenfeng. We can't just wait until the Fenfeng attacks our doorstep before we can take action."

Hei Ta tilted his head as he listened to Jiang Jiu's illogical words.
