Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Sky Peak Barrier and Fate Feedback

Writing down three pieces of information, Anvis quickly sketched out a simplified drawing of the unseen side of the Purple Moon from memory on the lower half of the paper.

He emphasized the depiction of those strange ruins, trying his best to restore the remembered layout and architectural details.

Looking over the drawing, Anvis paused his writing and silently gazed at the content on the page.

Since the dawn of human history, the orientation of the Purple Moon has never changed.

This also means that it is impossible to see the dark side of the Purple Moon through normal observational means.

Although, theoretically, those of the Ninth Rank possess the strength to reach the Moon.

But until now, no one has truly set foot on the twin moons in the sky, be it the Silver Moon or the Purple Moon.

The reason is the existence of the Sky Peak Barrier—

When Professionals from Unival fly high into the sky, reaching a certain height, they encounter an invisible barrier.

Upon reaching the height of this barrier, no matter how much one attempts to ascend, the distance from the ground cannot increase by even a millimeter, and Space Magic is utterly incapable of locating coordinates above the Sky Peak Barrier.

Spellcasters have tried attacking the Sky Peak Barrier, but ultimately nothing ever happens.

—Even a full-powered attack leveraging the rules by a Legendary Strongman at the peak of the Ninth Rank is in vain, resulting in nothing more than futilely ascending a certain distance before completely dissipating into the invisible.

To describe it as immense is an understatement; for the humans living on the Yar Continent, this invisible barrier might as well be the very heavens.

In their past lives, Players wouldn’t have much to say about this because, in the general view of Players, the sky in games was merely a simple environmental background.

The twin moons are probably just the result of programmers’ laziness, throwing up two textures so that only one side ever shows.

There were even some Players who thought that the so-called ’Sky Peak Barrier’ was just an Easter egg deliberately generated by the developers, confusing the ’NPCs’ as they study the sky.

But having been reborn into this world, becoming one of the ’NPCs’ in the eyes of Players, Anvis naturally discarded that point of view.

So, is the Sky Peak Barrier somehow related to the distant Purple Moon?

Or is it that the High Elves can penetrate the Sky Peak Barrier because of the existence of a Legendary Strongman?

Anvis wrote down ’Sky Peak Barrier’ on the paper and drew a circle around it.

What truly exists at the end of the sky?

There’s still too little information, Anvis thought, and after one last glance, he crumpled up the paper and tossed it into the fireplace. He watched as it quickly turned black in the flames, becoming an indistinguishable lump of char.

In his view, the greatest gain from this venture was not those ancient coins or the secrets of antiquity, but successfully exchanging Identity Seals with Claire.

As long as he maintains a good relationship with this true ’treasure hunting rat’, the present gains are nothing but a drizzle in comparison.

Moreover, apart from material gains, Claire serves another purpose for him.

—That is, to advance the rank of the Prophet. (I know what you are thinking)

Indeed, prophetic ability is a fairly unsolvable strength, but it also has many limitations.

Unlike professions such as Warrior Mage which rely purely on cultivation for strength enhancement, the advancement of prophetic ability requires not only cultivation but also sufficient feedback from the Net of Destiny.

For Prophets, feedback from destiny is extremely important; it can passively defend against attacks on the level of destiny and also serve as a key ingredient in the creation of Destiny Artifacts.

And only when the total amount of destiny feedback obtained reaches a certain level can the prophet break through to the next rank.

The inheritance information of the Mercury Prophet faction once mentioned:

The best way to obtain destiny feedback is to find various Children of Destiny, and then entangle one’s own thread of fate with the life trajectory of these Children of Destiny.

Children of Destiny are people born with a specific destiny on their shoulders.

They are innately favored by destiny, often encountering various adventures, and miraculously escaping danger when crises arise.

However, correspondingly, they also tend to lose something in the process, such as becoming orphans, shouldering a vendetta, or having a fiancée suddenly breaking off an engagement.

In simple terms, every Child of Destiny is the protagonist of a legendary story before their mission is complete.

The only difference is that some people’s stories are short, while others’ are long.

After the prophet helps them complete their ’mission’, the favor of destiny on the Child of Destiny will dissipate.

A portion of this will be transformed by the Net of Destiny and feedback to the prophet.

That is why, in ancient myths passed down through history, beside the brave and wise kings often stands a Great Prophet endowed with titles such as Sage or Mentor.

.........

After adventuring with Claire, Anvis could clearly feel an increase in the destiny feedback he received.

As a secret tradition, the Mercury Prophecy Skill is different from the ordinary prophet faction.

Ordinary prophets must wait until the end of the Children of Destiny’s mission to receive their destiny feedback.

Prophets following the path of the Mercury Prophecy Skill can use a special secret technique. By covertly assisting the Child of Destiny and artificially creating various ’adventures’, they use these actions as a medium.

They actively manipulate the Net of Destiny, achieving the effect of obtaining destiny feedback immediately.

In simple terms, the mission of a Child of Destiny is akin to a lengthy movie in which the Child of Destiny is the main character.

Ordinary prophets wanting to receive destiny feedback need to participate as supporting characters and then wait until the grand finale of the story to receive their participation fee (destiny feedback) based on how much they were involved.

The secret technique of the Mercury Faction, on the other hand, is like splitting a complete movie into sequences, turning it into a TV series with many episodes.

Just like participating as a supporting character, the difference is that after completing each episode, the Mercury Prophet can receive the salary for that episode.

According to the inheritance materials in Anvis’s hands: Even though the income from ’shooting one episode of a TV series’ may be much less than ’shooting a whole movie’.

But when summed up, the total income from shooting dozens of TV series episodes could actually be greater than that from shooting one movie.

This time Anvis was able to gain destiny feedback because he became a companion to Claire, helped her open the door, and then had his passive talent consumed by her.

Theoretically speaking, if Anvis had not followed, Pekara would not have gone either, and Claire would have had to find a way to open the anti-magic alloy door on her own.

Later, under the influence of the stone slab, if the perspectives weren’t occupied by two people separately as Antinoya and Miyali.

Even if Claire still possessed that middle-aged male elf, she would inevitably have to consume more of her favor of destiny, from at least three perspectives, to randomly choose the perspective of that middle-aged elf.

Anvis dares to assert that from the perspective of that male elf, one would definitely be able to see much more.
