A gigantic, illusory eyeball embedded in an inverted triangle sketched itself behind him.

He could see, as he painted the rune with his hand, that the very foundation of the world seemed to tremble somewhat.

Like ripples spreading in the deep sea, even the lines that formed the foundation of the world began to sway.

However, this sway did not propagate to the world’s surface; those lines gently undulated, influencing one another, dissipating the ripples, as if soothing themselves.

At this moment, a grayish-purple light also twined around He Ao’s palm like a line, flickering with a certain profound brilliance.

This rune was the ’Fate Guiding Rune’ taught to him by the dungeon world’s Angel ’Levi.’

The effect of this rune is to allow the painter’s mysticism doubts to receive some level of ’guidance.’

Under normal circumstances, He Ao actually didn’t want to use this rune.

To accept the gifts of fate means to confront the troubles fate brings.

But at this moment, he couldn’t care about those anymore.

As he painted the rune, his mind flashed with his own question.

’What crisis might I encounter while promoting to an Angel?’

And as his thoughts surged in his mind, the calm foundation of the world suddenly surged violently again.

The storm that rose from the world’s foundation even affected the world’s surface.

Beyond the train, the once calm sea surface suddenly whipped up a howling storm, and the steadily moving Velora also began shaking violently.

The fierce atmosphere even blew against the Eye of Truth suspended behind He Ao’s head, causing this Angel Tier object floating in the air to flicker as well.

Was that ’problem’ level too high?

As thoughts flashed through his mind, He Ao’s hands continued with their task.

He drew the runes quickly amidst the fierce storm and shaking, finally completing the last stroke just as the sea was about to whip up a hurricane, and the entire Velora seemed about to capsize.

At that moment, a thought flashed in his mind, and something seemed to emerge from the world’s foundation.

The Eye of Truth, suspended behind his head, suddenly lifted its gaze, looking toward the world’s depths.

Under the faintly emerging information, he seemed to see some kind of long-drawn lines, like a terrifying giant behemoth revealing some ’tentacles,’ akin to canyons and mountains lurking in the deep sea stretching out as islands above the water.

Bang——

In that instant, He Ao’s vision went dark, and the eyeball suspended behind him flickered violently, like an unstable light bulb.

Then, accompanied by a soft ’crack——’ rising from the world’s foundation, the eyeball embedded in the inverted triangle suddenly ’extinguished’ and vanished into thin air.

But at this moment, He Ao could no longer perceive these changes.

He only felt his consciousness entering a pitch-black space, absolutely devoid of anything; he tried reaching out to touch the darkness, but received no response whatsoever.

His thoughts and emotions seemed to erode in this utter darkness, quickly fading away.

Then, like a sudden flash of light, He Ao was abruptly pulled out of that darkness.

The lights inside the Velora once again illuminated his field of view.

The storm over the sea outside still continued and even showed signs of intensifying, but the Velora had already regained stability.

He Ao touched his cheek, feeling some warmth, then turned his gaze towards the adjacent train window.

The hazy reflection on the window showed his face, with two streams of blood tears flowing from his reddened eyes, trailing across his cheeks.

He Ao raised his hand to wipe the blood from his face.

At this moment, he also noticed the disappearance of the Eye of Truth.

He closed his eyes, attempting to sense the existence of the Eye of Truth.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, that void of darkness once again filled his mind.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

The silent carriage was reflected in his pupils.

This time’s ’guidance’ was a bit too intense, huh.

Was it because the question asked this time had too high a position, or did the Eye of Truth directly peer into destiny’s guidance, obtaining surplus information?

He Ao sighed, feeling his thoughts not yet fully withdrawn from the state brought by that ’Fate’s Guidance.’

But the good news was, he could still sense the existence of the Eye of Truth.

He Ao tried, and found he could still summon the Eye of Truth, but had to give up halfway due to intense pain.

Just a moment ago, it seemed to have caused a high-intensity drain on his body, making him unable to maintain the use of the Eye of Truth.

And causing all of this, it seemed wasn’t just the ripples from the turbulent world foundation earlier.

During that Fate’s Guidance, the ’Eye of Truth’ also seemed to see a bit of ’something else.’

He Ao closed his eyes once again.

This time, the all-encompassing void and darkness gradually dissipated, with some residual, fragment-like thoughts emerging in He Ao’s mind.

These thoughts interconnected in some extra-dimensional way, finally condensing in He Ao’s mind into four words:

’Careful of the stars’

Careful of the stars?

He Ao opened his eyes again.

What is this?

The mysterious answer provided by Fate’s Guidance?

No, that’s not right, that pitch-black void just now was probably the ’mystical answer.’

All the scenes he experienced earlier flashed through He Ao’s mind.

This ’warning’ wasn’t the ’answer’ from Fate’s Guidance, but rather the unutterable information from behind the ’answer’ even deeper.

Is this ’fate’? The ’fate’ related to my promotion?

At this moment, He Ao had a realization.

This is also the ’guidance’ of fate, but it’s not the answer to the mysticism question; rather, it’s some sort of ’prophecy’ closer to reality.

He lowered his head and looked at the already dried bloodstains in his palm.

Under the ’gaze’ of the Eye of Truth, this rune can not only obtain answers to ’mysticism questions’, but also glimpse the ’fate’ related to the inquirer’s question?

Just that the information obtained is not much.

’Careful of the stars’

The phrase flashed in He Ao’s mind again, and he retracted his thoughts.

In that void and dark space, though bizarre, he had a vague notion, but the term ’Careful of the stars’, was still unclear to him.

However, what fate-guidance brings is not necessarily all positive.

Receiving gifts also comes with troubles.

He still remembered the background story of ’The Forgotten Wheel of Stars’:

To cope with the apocalypse, the Wheel of Stars was crafted, and because it attracted the Divine Being’s gaze, it led to the apocalypse.

Prophecy is somewhat mystical and must be handled with caution.

Suppressing his thoughts, He Ao closed the notebook, opened the carriage door, and walked over to the nearby dining car.

Ye Ying, sitting in the dining car and feeling a bit dizzy, looked up as He Ao approached and hurriedly said, "Teacher, you’re done with your work?"

"Hmm."

He Ao nodded slightly and sat across from her.

Ye Ying glanced outside at the stormy sea, holding onto the table tightly, and shook her head, asking, "Teacher, where are we heading next?"

Lin Chichi had already gotten off at Beidu, leaving only her and He Ao here.

"The upcoming journey will be very dangerous," He Ao didn’t immediately answer her but slowly asked, "Are you sure you want to go with me?"

"There’s something I can do, right?"

Ye Ying lifted her head, gazing at He Ao, "That’s also the reason you are willing to take me along,"

She slightly puffed her chest and said seriously, "I’m not afraid."

Her chest puff didn’t last half a second before she skewed sideways due to dizziness.

Yet, even amidst the swaying, she still gazed at He Ao and said seriously, "I saw you trying hard to protect this world with all your might, and I also saw Chichi and my brother advance bravely,"

She gazed at He Ao, her tone growing steadier, "If I can do something, please let me do something, instead of standing behind you all."

"Even if it means dying?"

He Ao calmly gazed at her.

"Even if it means dying!"

The young girl nodded heavily.

"I’ll go start the vehicle, you can think it over a bit more."

He Ao stood up, turned, and walked towards the front of the car.

"Teacher, I don’t need to think it over, where are we heading next?"

Ye Ying also stood up and asked again.

But the lingering dizziness made her stagger, nearly falling, and she quickly held onto the table corner.

"To the ruins," He Ao put the notebook in his pocket and calmly walked forward, "But before that, I need you to accompany me to another place; it might be dangerous, and you might die there."

He stopped at the carriage door and looked back at the young girl behind him, "You have a chance to regret now."

Ye Ying gazed into those calm eyes, her hands supporting the table, and once again, seriously puffed her chest, "I’m not afraid!"

This time, her body didn’t fall over.

He Ao calmly gazed at her, the tranquil gaze deep as an abyss, as if probing the girl’s inner heart.

Ye Ying craned her neck, tightened her muscles, striving to keep her body stable, and looked at He Ao.

He Ao gazed at the resolve and courage in those eyes, and after a brief pause, withdrew his gaze and nodded softly, "Alright, I’ll come find you after the vehicle stabilizes, you should rest a bit."

He didn’t say anything else and directly opened the carriage door and headed toward the front of the car.

"Whew—"

Ye Ying swayed, leaning on the chair, her whole body seemingly drained of all strength, sitting down limply.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, feeling as if she’d been pulled out of a sauna.

As the courage filling her body faded, countless thoughts spread in her mind.

Among them were nerves, fear, and finally, the joy of gaining her teacher’s recognition.

She picked up her phone, seemingly wanting to do something, but after a brief pause, put the phone back down.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions and appear more peaceful, looking out the window.

Outside the train window, the invisible hurricane finally appeared, raising a violent wave tens of meters high over the dark sea.

The huge wave, like a curtain between the sky and earth, covered the stars in the sky, sweeping towards the train on the sea.

Ye Ying lifted her head, staring blankly at the surging waves.

And just at that moment, she felt the train floating in the sea waves suddenly accelerate, rushing relentlessly into the fierce waves.

Boom—

The narrow train, like a sword in the dark, pierced through the entire wave, plunging into the black deep sea.

The wave crashed down, leaving nothing but the empty sea surface.
