Chapter 3566: The Truth Awaits

From what the Divination God said, Alex could understand that prophecies were just as meaningless to the person making them as they were to everyone else. That meant that despite making all the prophecies himself, the Divination God could not help him at all.

"If that is the case then, can you not help me understand my own prophecies?" Alex asked. "If nothing else, I just wish to learn about the one that speaks of my demise. Do you have any idea about it?"

The Divination God shook his head. "I’m afraid I cannot help you at all. All I can tell you is that the prophecies you heard from the wells came from the Void."

Alex narrowed his eyes. "How does that change things?" he asked.

"Since they came from the Void, they are especially tied to you and only you. Whereas, in the case of the prophecies that came from the Heaven, there is a chance to interpret them as working for another person as well."

Alex blinked for a moment before realizing what he was talking about. "You’re speaking of Shumi."

"I am indeed."

Alex looked down, thinking for a bit. Which prophecies had he gotten from the well? It was one of the very first ones he was introduced to, which included the one about his death.

"How reliable are prophecies from the Void?" Alex asked. "Are they any better than the ones from the Heaven?"

"I cannot answer that objectively. I can only direct you to the fact that before Heaven existed, the only method of divination was through the Void. People who did divination back then were also called Voidseers for that reason."

"Voidseers?"

Something about the word stuck out to Alex a bit. ’Where have I heard that before?’

Thinking about it for a brief moment, he remembered the exact location where he had seen that word.

’Outside of the Endless Night Sect’s gates.’

There was a short poem there that described something about the Voidseers seeing a bright future. He had wondered back then what it meant, and now it made sense.

’So that poem must have been quite old,’ he thought. It definitely had existed before that realm had transformed into Hell.

"Is there anything else you wish to ask of me?" the Divination God said.

"Well, I wanted to ask you about the prophecies, but since you say you can’t help me with them, I don’t know what else I can do," he said. Still, he thought about anything else that could be pertinent to the conversation they were having that he couldn’t miss out on the chance on.

"I ended up hearing your conversation with your cousin earlier," the Divination God said. "You wish to visit the Three Jewel World."

"I do," Alex said. "I mean, I have to. You understand that more than anyone else, don’t you, senior?"

"I do understand," the Divination God said. "I was partially involved in helping create that tomb after all."

Alex blinked in surprise. He had known that the Divination God did follow along with Godkiller, but he hadn’t expected the man to be directly involved in the making of the tomb.

"I hear that the Godkiller has left behind something for someone to find," Alex said. "And I also hear that someone might be me. Do you happen to know what that thing is, senior?"

The man closed his eyes for a moment, as if thinking back on the matter.

"The senior always only referred to it as the truth of the world, nothing else. I do not know what the truth entails, but he said that someone would come one day, and the truth would only be given to them. While I cannot say whether you are the person he is waiting for or not, between you and the girl, it’s almost guaranteed that the truth will come out soon."

Alex grew even more interested now. "In that case, once I find a ticket to the tomb, I will head over right away."

There was no need to waste time.

"Don’t," the Divination God said, snapping his eyes wide open.

"Hmm? What do you mean, senior?"

"Do not go to the tomb this time around," the Divination God said. "The timing is not right. You will not find the truth." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Alex was perplexed. "Why is that?"

"If you go now, you will not have what it takes to gain the truth," the Divination God said. "I’ve foreseen the future, and only disappointment lies this time around should you go."

Alex didn’t know what to say. "Then when should I go?" he asked.

"The next time around," the Divination God said. "You will succeed if you go when the tomb opens the next time."

Alex narrowed his eyes, trying to see if the man could possibly be lying or maybe even joking. But he could see no possibility of that at all. He was completely truthful, which was to say that Alex did not have to go to the tomb this time around.

At some level, he was relieved. With only a little over a century left and no ticket at all, it would have been difficult for Alex to make it to the Three Jewel World and be able to enter.

If the Divination God was certain that he couldn’t succeed this time, then he would just wait for the next time.

"If it’s the next time, then I will have enough time to acquire a ticket," Alex said.

"You won’t," the Divination God said without missing a beat.

"I won’t? Why not?" Alex asked.

"But somehow, you won’t require it either," the Divination God said. "It’s strange. Your future blurs when you reach the tomb. I cannot tell why, but I can tell that you will successfully enter."

"I see," Alex said, leaving it at that. He would still search for the ticket anyway, but if he were to be unlucky enough to not find it, then he wouldn’t have to fret either.

It was possible that the Godkiller’s tomb would open for him even without the ticket.
