Chapter 1408: Chapter 42: The Truth of Fisher’s Birth (Part 4)
"..."
Master Tao was a bit hesitant, perhaps due to confusion.
Valentina, because of her deceased husband, had once been redeemed by him, full of sincerity and unyielding hope.
But what about herself?
Does she have any goals worth pursuing?
No matter what, her mother and fellow countrymen all perished amidst chaos and war, all the beings she knew have aged in the long river of time, everything she strived for after so long has come to naught.
Yet at the end, she didn’t answer Valentina but instead asked,
"Just now, you said you saw the prophecy, what did you see?"
"Huh?"
Valentina didn’t expect her to suddenly ask this question. After pondering for a moment, she replied honestly,
"I saw... Nali, that is the human city, I saw the broken golden sword, I saw the tsunami... and that scarlet Spirit Realm Pollution."
Hmm, a scene of decay, indeed a dark future.
"...Before, I also had a sister, she was the only one in our clan who could grasp the future. But she ran away, disappeared, went who knows where, only returned at the final war. Not sure if because of her departure, we have always been confused and fearful about the future, until that moment came, became the present; until the present passed, became the past, we could peacefully reminisce.
"From this perspective, your group of phoenixes obtaining the future from the Weaver yet leaving the Tree Continent seems like an omen. Even if you see the future, nothing changes... But perhaps those phoenixes are right, without looking at the future, there’s no chance for change..."
Master Tao didn’t even know why she was talking so much with this phoenix about her husband, just because she asked, and happened she knew?
No, she felt it was more like an opportunity.
The remaining roots of Mother became the residence of her consciousness; the chaotic power maintained her remains, surviving till now; the bloodline of phoenixes who could see the future intersected with her, bringing her out of the prison of the past; her husband coincidentally was the treasure coveted by Chaos, waiting for her to rescue...
In the midst of destiny, everything seemed to have divine providence, as if the World Tree was giving Tao a second chance, allowing her to step out of her adept past, into an unknown future...
In the silence, Tao suddenly spoke to Valentina again,
"Trivial, to save your husband can’t be rushed, especially given his uniqueness, you mustn’t tell anyone but me. That Fisher hasn’t noticed the anomaly on himself from start to finish, it’s hard to say whether it’s the intention of the gods or the conspiracy of Chaos. But it’s certain that he’s now surrounded by Chaos’s influence, your close relationship with him makes it difficult to ensure you haven’t been targeted by Chaos, avoid alerting the enemy...
"Before you go to him, you must first handle the matters around you. Directly confronting Chaos is very difficult; I, at the Nineteenth Rank, have already tried, and barely survived, you’re merely a Fourteenth Rank trivial phoenix, best not seek death... You mustn’t be impatient, mustn’t let your love for him backfire. We must first find out what’s special about him, best to identify who exactly created him, take the initiative in our hands."
Valentina nervously glanced around, fearing that Chaos was eavesdropping on her, thankfully everything just now was in her mind with Tao, likely not exposed.
"What should I do then?"
"Do what you need to do, fix up this broken place, expand your influence, give me time to rest and recuperate, pretend to search for your missing deceased husband, and incidentally be jealous of your deceased husband’s other lovers... We act secretly like this, then..."
"What?! Lovers?! He has... other lovers?!"
But it seems, Valentina heard only some of the words, these words quickly triggered Valentina, uncontrollably shouted even in her mind.
"...Right right, that’s the way, you entered the state quickly, worthy of praise, trivial phoenix."
Master Tao watched the scene with amusement as she commented on Valentina’s performance, although residing in her mind, she wouldn’t share her perceptions, nor would she know Valentina’s current jealousy overflowing.
"Could it be Elizabeth... or the Iceberg Queen? Could he have gone after them when I was asleep..."
"Indeed, and the True God level chaos seal on him doesn’t even know where it came from. That seal shattered the fabricated fate upon him, catapulting him back to the past, likely to help him escape Death... Huh, in that case, that presence doesn’t know his uniqueness either? Hmm, but that presence must value him highly; to me, he may have been seduced by Chaos... if Chaos poses as a woman even more beautiful than you, your deceased husband might..."
"Bang!"
Valentina stood up with a black face, looking furious, as if ready to settle accounts with someone...
Hmm, but at least in Master Tao’s view, her energy is brimming?
This is good, this is good.
