Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 2549

Alex's refusal left a lot of gods and representatives shaking their heads. They could not believe that he would squander such an opportunity. Still, it was his opportunity to squander, so they couldn't reprimand him for it.

Starsight moved on toward Aethersage, who stood with his master and disciple. She was only halfway to him when she suddenly stopped.

The pause in her steps caught the attention of a lot of different people.

The Storm God and Winter God suddenly frowned as their eyes began turning toward the sky, as if to find something.

Starsight herself was seemingly surprised by something. Her face was a mask of shock and fear for some reason at that moment.

"Starsight?" the Alchemy God called out, concerned.

Starsight turned around the moment she was called, but not toward the Alchemy God, and instead toward Alex. She walked directly to him, causing Alex to step back.

"Senior?"

"I'm sorry," the woman said as she walked right next to Alex and grabbed his arm. "I must Divine."

Her eyes moved up into her head at that moment as she began Divining.

Alex tried to pull his hands away, but the woman was far too strong for him. He couldn't get away from her.

"Senior! Please let go of me," Alex asked, and the woman surprisingly looked down at him. Her eyes were filled with confusion, seemingly surprised that she couldn't Divine much even when she was this close.

Silvermist and Grimsight tried to stop Starsight, but the Sword God appeared. "Sit back. Don't interfere with a Fatekeeper's work."

Grimsight frowned. How was he to act when the Sword God himself was there? He couldn't be disrespectful to the gods.

He looked at Starsight and was a little relieved to know that Alex wasn't hurt. But he was still being made to do something against his will. It didn't sit right with him.

Starsight had realized by now that Alex was most likely the cause of her lack of ability to Divine since many decades ago. And whatever he was doing to make it happen was so strong that even after coming this close, she still couldn't make a good divination.

She just couldn't do it. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Just as she was about to give up, she received a small help. Suddenly, she could see it.

His future.

She stood below the burning sun, standing close to a village where an old gray-haired man sat before Alex. The image appeared so clear in her mind.

'How is this possible?' She could not believe what she was seeing. 'Is this what he sees?'

Starsight quickly tried to figure out where she was, where Alex was. She needed to know why she must see his future. Why was she forced to do this? As she was about to figure out the location, the vision shifted.

She was someplace else now.

She saw Alex stand in a sea of corpses, with a woman holding a silver sword pressed to his neck. He was about to die.

The image shifted again before Starsight could get a clear look at the woman, this time faster than before. 'What is happening?' she thought. 'I'm not in control.'

She was just a passenger in this ship of divination. The one controlling it was someone else.

The next image was that of chaos. The image itself was clear, but the world around Alex was in chaos. She could not make sense of anything she saw in there.

The image shifted again, further into the future. She saw a magnificent palace, one that dwarfed even the cults of many gods. She had never seen such a place before.

Alex was in a forest with some other woman.

Shift.

Shift! Shift! Shift! Shift!

The images flickered so quickly at that point that Starsight could not make any sense of it. She could not even get a sense of what she was seeing. The future moved far too quickly, so all she saw was a blur.

Finally, the blurring came to a stop as everything stopped shifting.

Starsight gaped for air, but she couldn't find any. She stood in space, at the center of the loud silence made by nothing. The stars twinkled far in the distance. To her left was the silver moon, far in the distance. To her right was the sun, burning white in the middle of all worlds.

There were no worlds around her.

Starsight searched around for Alex, but she couldn't see him anywhere. And yet a part of her knew just where he was at that moment.

She turned to her left, looking at the moon. As she watched, the moon was consumed.

Starsight slowly turned her head to the right next, looking at the sun. As she watched, the sun was devoured.

She then turned toward the stars, and as she watched, she knew what was about to happen.

The stars blinked out of the sky, as each one disappeared after another. All around her, the stars flashed away. And when the final pinprick of light vanished in the sky, all was gone from this world.

Outside, Starsight had gone into a state of Divination where she began speaking out loud what she saw. She had spoken a bunch of things at first that made no sense and then had gone silent.

Then, from silence, she spoke again, and this time she was coherent.

"He brings darkness. He brings chaos. He shall devour the moon and sunder the sun. The world shall not survive while he lives!"

The moment Starsight said as much, her senses returned to her, and she let go of Alex. Stepping back, she pointed at him with shaking fingers.

"You…" she shrilled. "I name you the Destroyer!"
