Chapter 312: Chapter 312 Fateful Encounter

Chapter 312 Fateful Encounter

"Young man, there's a fateful encounter waiting for you."

Lucas stopped in his tracks and looked at the old man. For some reason, this old man looked very familiar. Lucas felt as if he had met this man before.

"...you are?" Lucas asked, feeling a bit suspicious of the old man.

"I am just a mere astrologer, going to places where the wind takes me. So, young man, do you wish to know the fateful encounter? It'll only cost you 1 silver coin." The old man replied in a calm manner.

Lucas nodded and gave the man a coin. He felt the man was suspicious but since the price wasn't too much, it was worth trying.

The old man took the coin from Lucas and said to him, "in the desert, near an oasis with three palm trees, when the sun sets, a newborn shall hatch."

Lucas thought about what the old man had just said and not understanding what it was, he was about to ask the old man again about it when he saw the old man had vanished.

"What!? Where the hell did he go!?" Lucas said in surprise.

'System, where is the old man?' Lucas called out in his mind.

[Cannot answer.]

"What the fuck do you mean can't answer? This means you have an answer but can't tell me?"

[Yes.]

"Why!?"

[Cannot answer.]

"Ugh." Lucas was now starting to think that system was just a piece of crap attached to him by those shitty gods in their last breath and nothing else. They were on their

[Emotions of host are unstable. Applying a calming potion]

[Applying a sleeping potion]

[Teleporting host back to the academy]

With space fluctuating around Lucas, he got sucked into a vortex and vanished from his spot.

The spot he had just vanished, the old man from before came back and stood on it.

He stared into the empty space in front of him and muttered softly, "if I don't want to be seen, then no one in this world can find me."

The old man then turned his head towards a certain direction and muttered softly again,

"...except that one person that I hate from the bottom of my heart."

..

Below a certain mountain peak.

Lilith was playing chess with Mayzin. The two were still going on with their match and it had not even been a hundred rounds that they played together.

While Lilith was waiting for Mayzin to make a move, she suddenly felt a gaze on her. She looked in the direction she felt the gaze was coming from.

Her eyes turned a blood red for a second as she focused in that direction and returned back to her gem-like amethyst color.

Lilith had a small smirk on her face and she thought to herself, 'no matter how many petty moves you make, I'll always be the one to benefit from it.'

'You may be a player who can move pieces on the chessboard as you want, but don't forget about the one who has the power to flip the board and ruin everything.'

Lilith then turned her head to look at the mountain peak and saw Arya meditating inside a storm of elemental energy.

Lilith smiled and said softly, "soon."

..

The next day.

Shadow River Sect, Redstone City.

Lith woke up and after having breakfast together with Alexandra, he practiced the secret technique. After practice, he once again decided to go tease Emilia because he had nothing better to do.

Emilia, as he thought, came to him again and he averted the crisis this time by opening a steaming hot chicken fried rice that he cooked before praying to her.

The two had chatted over food and Lith came back to his room again.

Lith may not know it but the thing he was doing for fun, was leading him to a place he didn't think he would be able to enter.

The place was Emilia's heart.

Food is one of the languages of love and it was a universal law everywhere. If you want to win someone's heart, win over their stomach first. This was true for Emilia's case and Lith unknowingly was making a spot for himself in her heart through his actions.

Sure Emilia felt irked about having the thoughts of dating someone younger than her and also someone not from her own race, but love was something that knew no boundaries.

Love makes a person selfish, even gods themselves.

How was Emilia going to be an exception then? She was just a pure, innocent, and a very humble being. She always thought in the best interests of everyone and was so religious that she hadn't done anything sinful in her entire life.

Though she was an Angel of War, she had never once used her weapon for selfish reasons. Whenever she used it, it was to protect the divine law of Light and to ensure that the proper code of conduct of nature wasn't in danger.

If nature was threatened, then all beings would be threatened as well.

Emilia was thus very kind of a good nature. But people like Emilia, they were also prone to give in to love and become blind by it, thereby becoming selfish.

Emilia was, day by day, wavering in her decision to not date Lith and was thinking of choosing him as a life partner, even though it meant she would fall from grace and many would suffer.

At this stage, if Lith did something that may tick off Emilia, he would forever lose his chance to be in her heart as once Emilia stops being blinded by love and becomes self-conscious of what things she was getting into, she would steel herself even further and not fall for such things again.

However, Lith wasn't aware of the tumultuous waves of emotions he was making Emilia go through and was in his own world, following a monotonous routine everyday consisting of cultivating, teasing Emilia, and taking care of Alexandra and spending time with her.

..

Days passed.

It was almost a month since Lith was out of the academy.

He was continuing his monotonous routine today as well and was out on a stroll when suddenly

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

The sky turned dark and thunder rumbled in the sky.

Drip! Drop! Drip! Drop!

A few drops of water fell down from the sky but soon, within a matter of a few seconds, it started raining heavily.

Thankfully, there was magic in this world and people could be dry despite heavy rains and Lith was no exception to that. He casted a wind barrier around himself and looked at the sky, wondering why it started raining out of nowhere.

He kept looking but wasn't able to figure out why it was raining. Thinking it wasn't anything important, Lith got back to doing what he was doing.

..

Days passed.

It kept raining but Lith didn't stop the routine he was following. Neither he nor anyone else stopped their activities. Rain was a trivial thing in this world of magic and people did their daily things without any problems.

Emilia was almost in love with Lith now. She just needed one small push and it was a done deal.

Lith was starting to get aware that Emilia was having romantic feelings for him. He had no idea how that happened but since it wasn't a bad thing, he just continued doing what he was doing and was waiting to see how things would turn out later.

..

Human Continent.

Ancestor's Palace, Raizen.

The Human Ancestor, Darren Whitter, was sitting on his throne and was staring at empty space in front of him.

At this time, Eric, sitting a few tens meter away from Darren, got up from his seat and after respectfully bowing and greeting him, he said,

"Ancestor, the dragons will soon have their third Supreme if this continues. Are we just going to sit and watch?"

Darren turned his gaze to look at Eric and knitted his brows. Eric had already given him so much trouble and had him suffer so much humiliation. Now he was asking this?

"Eric, it's in your, and everyone's best interest that you keep your mouth shut and not speak unless asked to."

Darren wasn't happy with Eric in the slightest and said so.

Eric felt a shiver down his spine as he heard that. 'What did I even do' He thought to himself and sat back on his seat after apologizing to Darren.

Graham, who was sitting close to Darren, got up from his seat and said bowing to Darren, "Ancestor, I think you should talk to the other Supremes about this matter and first see what they are thinking. Of course, by others, I simply mean just three people."

Arbour, sitting close to Darren as well, was simply listening and wasn't saying anything on this matter. He did not understand the situation properly and so, he decided to not act on it.

Previously, on impulse, he attacked this world and became a big fool in front of everyone. He wouldn't do such a thing again.

Darren nodded his head as Graham finished speaking. He then said,

"I understand all of that, but Graham, you should take some rest and not work. I can understand that you may be going through the grief of losing your son. Take some rest, don't come to the meetings for a while."

Graham was a very trustworthy person and was also the one that Darren placed a lot of importance on. He would obviously think in the best interest of Graham for that reason.

Graham looked at Darren with a stern gaze and said, "don't think of me as some weak mortal who would have grievance over losing a son, Ancestor. I am not impotent, I can have another son if I want."

Immortals were like that. Losing a child may not make them feel much as they could make another one anytime they wanted. They had a never ending lifespan and it was no problem to them.

Of course, not everyone was the same and many would suffer through grief for many years for losing a child and would suffer a major trauma for it.

But Graham was one of those who didn't care even if he lost a child.

Darren nodded his head and said, "alright then. I'll go talk to the Supremes."
