Chapter 1777: Section 1778: Alive

Si Man is not a Seed person, but she has now been abducted by suspected Seed followers. If we can find Si Man through Divination, we might be able to trace those madmen who deal in death.

In this way, it won’t trigger the Seed’s prophecy shield.

Oupulia listened to the ideas of Angel and Rosen and agreed wholeheartedly.

Previously, Oupulia tried to divine the Seed, but there was actually no basis or evidence, just a bit of subjective clues to fish for traces in the vast and boundless River of Fate. Although there was the addition of Divination, the success rate was indeed relatively low.

It’s like a painter who has never seen a Gryphon; if told by others about its appearance, can they really draw it?

Similarly, Divination is the same. Prophecies made out of thin air have a greatly reduced chance of success; if there’s an actual reference, with evidence, it becomes possible to trace certainty along the River of Fate, and naturally, the success rate would climb.

Si Man is exactly such an empirical reference they know. Moreover, since she previously lived in the Sky Mechanical City, she left many traces here. Oupulia can completely use these traces to find Si Man.

As long as we find Si Man, many doubts can be resolved.

After confirming this plan, Rosen immediately sent people to look for items remaining with Si Man’s pheromones.

It didn’t take long before Melisa brought a black feather, an external visible tissue after Si Man fused her Shadow Goose Bloodline and became semi-beast. The pheromone on the feather is already very little, but since it is linked to Melisa’s bloodline, Oupulia can still use it as a casting medium for prophecy.

Besides bringing this black feather, Melisa also brought along Xiao Liu and Helen.

These two are currently the ones who understand Si Man the most in the Sky Mechanical City. Oupulia plans to communicate with them a bit to better understand Si Man’s information, which can also increase the success rate of prophecy.

Xiao Liu and Helen were brought here not only to describe information about Si Man but also for another matter.

Which is to delete some of their memories.

Although Xiao Liu and Helen presently don’t know what "Seed" is, they’ve seen the Seed emblem, and no one can say whether they might in the future discover the Seed through this emblem.

To prevent any mishaps, it’s better to directly delete the memory.

Rosen’s idea is to directly delete all memories after Si Man’s disappearance, crafting a fake memory of Si Man leaving voluntarily.

However, Angel thinks it’s unnecessary. Helen’s own memories are already quite vague, and she originally recalled drawing the "Seed" emblem through the guiding of Angel’s Illusion Technique.

So, just delete Helen’s memory of the "Seed" emblem, leaving everything else intact.

This way, Helen wouldn’t experience memory fragmentation and would not feel awkward about her memories. Most importantly, it won’t damage their spiritual power.

Rosen ultimately adopted Angel’s suggestion, unknowingly deleting all Xiao Liu and Helen’s emblem-related memories. During this process, they themselves felt nothing.

After Helen and Xiao Liu explained about Si Man to Oupulia, Oupulia nodded towards the crowd: "We’ve learned enough about Si Man’s information, coupled with her feather, barring any mishaps, we should be able to track her using Divination."

Oupulia’s words brightened Helen’s eyes. Since arriving in this metal hall, she’d been feeling rather anxious and confused, not knowing why Si Man’s disappearance would intrigue even City Lord Rosen.

Her mind was wildly imagining various things, leaving her dizzy until Oupulia mentioned finding Si Man’s traces through Divination; then she suddenly snapped back.

Can Si Man really be found?

As Helen’s heart filled with trepidation, Angel came over.

"Wizard Oupulia is about to begin the prophecy; let’s leave first to avoid disturbing him," Angel said, and escorted them out of the metal hall.

In the hallway outside the hall, Helen looked at Angel and asked about the doubts in her heart.

"We should be able to find her." Angel said, but before Helen’s joy could rise, he poured cold water on it: "However, whether she is alive or dead is unpredictable."

Seeing the slight wavering and bewilderment in Helen’s eyes, Angel softly comforted: "For now, you don’t need to worry about anything else; let’s wait for the results first."

Helen nodded: "I understand, and...thank you."

Si Man’s disappearance could catch City Lord Rosen’s attention, and to have the Prophet Wizard Oupulia intervene, Helen could only think that it must be with Angel’s help.

Her heart was full of gratitude for Angel, but she had nothing to repay him with. Her only expression was sincere thanks, even if Si Man knew that such gratitude was insignificant in Angel’s eyes.

Angel smiled faintly, without saying much, just letting them wait outside, then pushed open the hall door and walked in.

When Angel returned to the hall, Oupulia’s prophecy was about to end.

Oupulia stood in the center where fate intertwined, Si Man’s black feather swirling around him, the mystical aura gradually diminishing until it completely vanished.

At the same time, Oupulia opened his eyes.

Unlike the heavy atmosphere following the previous prophecy, this time Oupulia immediately stepped forward after concluding the prophecy, his eyes less hesitant and more bright.

"Found her!" Oupulia said with joy: "I found Si Man’s traces!"

Rosen stood up: "Where is she?"

"She’s currently in the void, and..." Oupulia: "Very close to us, likely near the void corresponding to the Sky Mechanical City."

Right near the void corresponding to the Sky Mechanical City?

Oupulia’s words reminded Rosen of something, then gradually shifted his gaze to Angel’s shoulder, a seabird adorned in a small pleated skirt, curiously tilted its head, looking around...

...

Outside the Infinite Battle Tower, Angel looked up.

Several golden streams streaked across the sky, rushing towards the unknown void.

Undoubtedly, these golden streams correspond to Rosen and others, their target pointing directly at the void, suggesting they are going there to seek out those Seed followers. Since leaving the Infinite Battle Tower, it took less than five minutes to organize the combat members and step into the void, moving extremely fast.

"My lord?" A gentle voice called out from Helen.

Angel turned around to face them. Xiao Liu was supporting the pale-faced Helen, both looked at Angel with urgent eyes.

"My lord, is there any news of Si Man?"

Angel nodded: "Rest assured, there is already news of Si Man."

Helen’s eyes brightened, but her expression still carried anxiety. There’s news of Si Man, so is she alive now, or already...gone?

This question stuck in Helen’s throat, but she dared not voice it.

Angel also noticed Helen’s hesitation, he smiled faintly: "From what the prophecy indicates, at least she’s still alive."
