Chapter 904: Chapter 903: Astrology Theory

Directly to the south, there was a purple star, outshining all others in the sky. If stars could be compared to celebrities, then this purple star would be one of them.

"Predecessor, is that star also from the Origin Star System? It must be close, or it wouldn’t appear so big and bright!" Yusuf Zuck asked curiously.

"No," Phoenix Thornton chuckled as she shook her head, "that star does not belong to this patch of sky, and it may not even truly exist!"

"Err... what do you mean?" Yusuf Zuck was momentarily confused. The star was clearly visible in the night sky—how could it not exist?

"That star once appeared over the Saint Dragon Continent, so it is not fixed, or maybe it is a symbolic star."

"What do you mean by that?" Yusuf Zuck knew Phoenix Thornton had something specific in mind.

Phoenix Thornton smiled and explained, "When you first arrived in the Saint Dragon Continent, that star appeared. I had done some research on you and matched it to that star, only to find that the time of the star’s appearance closely coincided with your arrival. The star brightens and fades intermittently; it shone the brightest when you were killed by a powerful being from another plane. At that moment, the star’s shine was at its peak before it swiftly vanished..."

"It vanished after you were killed—the star disappeared, and amidst the vast heavens, it was nowhere to be found."

"And now, it has reappeared here, just twenty-something days later. Initially, it showed up in the southwestern part of the sky, then it moved, settling here, growing brighter."

"Are you saying that this star is... related to me?" Yusuf Zuck was somewhat baffled. The star appeared wherever he did—what was going on?

"Correct. In our study of techniques and calculations, every creature in the world corresponds to a star, which we call a destiny star. If I’m not mistaken, this star is your destiny star. It appears with your arrival, shines with your glory, and will disappear along with your disappearance!"

"So, does it exist or not?" Yusuf Zuck asked, puzzled.

"I’m not sure about that," Phoenix Thornton shrugged, "It might exist, or it might not, but if you can’t find it, that’s that!"

"Hmm, so continue, Predecessor. You said this star represents me—what next?" Yusuf Zuck pressed on.

"Hehe, take a closer look at the surroundings of this star," laughed Phoenix Thornton.

"The surroundings of this star?" Yusuf Zuck squinted his eyes. The star was so bright that it made the other stars nearby seem dim and lifeless.

However, he quickly noticed something different, because he saw a dim and obscure star behind the purple one, very close to it. If one did not look carefully, it would be invisible.

"There’s a star behind it, dim and dull, as if it never had any light at all, and it has approached the purple star," Yusuf Zuck blurted out.

"Exactly," Phoenix Thornton nodded. "I mentioned you’d face a calamity in three months, and this Dark Star is part of it."

"I’ve been star watching every night, and it’s moving towards you rapidly, with purpose, already very close, as if to overshadow your light."

"I understand now. This is an enemy of mine," Yusuf Zuck raised an eyebrow, recalling Phoenix Thornton’s words—that Tyler Nash had arrived at the Central Star. Corresponding this with the stars, it probably meant this.

Phoenix Thornton wasn’t aware that Jett Nash and Yusuf Zuck were enemies; she made predictions solely based on star watching.

"Good, understanding is key," Phoenix Thornton nodded and said no more. Since Yusuf Zuck had grasped the situation, he would naturally be cautious.

"What else? You just said it’s only one of them, does that mean there are other dangers too?" Yusuf Zuck inquired, curious.

Prophet Dong lifted his gaze to the heavens and suddenly sighed, saying, "This starry sky does not belong to the Purple Star; hence, the radiance of all stars has been obscured. Those stars won’t be content with this. These past few days, I’ve witnessed many stars that had disappeared for nearly three years gradually brighten. These stars are about to return. That is the second matter!"

"Hidden Sword Immortal Mansion!" Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath. Prophet Dong meant that those who had been trapped within the Hidden Sword Immortal Mansion for three years were about to emerge.

"Is there a third matter?" Yusuf Zuck abruptly raised his eyebrows?

"There should be, though my cultivation level cannot deduce it, and the star signs do not reveal it. But everything in the world undergoes a cycle or reincarnation. It is said that anything that reaches its peak will decline, and when anything reaches its extreme, it will reverse. The Purple Star is too bright, and such brightness cannot last forever. And the entire starry sky, with its star signs in utter chaos—it’s unlikely that Heavenly Dao’s destined order will allow such chaos to endure..."

"So, I surmise that this world seems poised to undergo a major cleansing and change. The emergence of the Purple Star is both good and ill."

"Senior, what exactly are you trying to convey?" Yusuf Zuck squinted his eyes, having heard so much, yet he was thoroughly confused.

"My original intention is that you should contain your starlight to avoid calamity," Prophet Dong said with a smile: "In three days, I will ascend. At that time, you can take Phoenix Thornton to other stars for adventure and exploration. There’s no need to wait on the Central Star; in fact, it’s best if you do not appear three months from now. That way, a balance will be struck. As for your family, if fate decrees it, you will meet them. It is not necessary to wait on that very day three months hence!"

"Thank you for the warning, Senior," Yusuf Zuck stood up and bowed to Prophet Dong, whose continuous chuckle showed his surprise at Yusuf Zuck’s quick agreement.

However, the next sentence completely stunned both Prophet Dong and his daughter.

"Nevertheless, I will not go anywhere," Yusuf Zuck said with a carefree smile: "Senior does not know what I have endured these last three thousand and eight hundred years, nor the importance of my family in my heart. I have already died once, so I do not fear death. But before I die, seeing my family safe and sound would leave me without regrets in this life."

"It’s very dangerous. Though your luck is good now, every world has its rules, and those who break these rules... do not end well!" Prophet Dong said earnestly.

"I do not wish to break any rules. I only want to reunite with my family. Of course, those who obstruct or hinder me—they must die!"

"Sigh—Alright then," Prophet Dong sighed heavily. He had said all that he could; as for what Yusuf Zuck chose to do, that was his own affair.

"I believe Master Zhang will definitely be fine. He is extraordinary!" Phoenix Thornton said, glancing at Yusuf Zuck.

"Haha, may your auspicious words come true!" Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily.

...

As Yusuf Zuck and Prophet Dong and his daughter were drinking and Star Watching, a boy of about ten years of age appeared outside the Jade Maiden Sect Gate.

The young boy was very handsome, and it seemed he was disguised, dressed in white, even sporting a Treasure Sword at his waist.

Upon arrival at the Jade Maiden Sect Gate, he abruptly knocked loudly.

"What?" The door was cracked open by a female disciple guarding the mountain, but seeing that it was a boy of about ten, she couldn’t help but be utterly astonished.

"There’s a message from a lady named Heidi Wilcox, Ruth Wilcox’s sister. She has been injured and trapped in the Northern Sea Ice Mountain Immortal Mansion and is being pursued by people wanting to kill her. She hopes you can notify Bryson Campbell to rescue her from peril. Farewell!" The eloquent young boy spoke and then vanished into streaks of light as soon as his feet touched the ground.

The mountain-guarding female disciple was initially bemused, but upon hearing the message, she felt goosebumps all over and immediately ran up the mountain.

After the young boy flew for about the time it takes an incense stick to burn, he landed beside a person... a person dressed in rainbow garments, heavily made up, but with a slight Adam’s apple, knelt on one knee, and said, "Master, I have delivered the message."

"Good, you’re getting better at this. Grow up quickly..." The androgynous person picked up the boy and, in the sweep of a long sleeve, vanished into thin air.
