Chapter 35: Tarot Cards in Fate
At this moment, the house became quiet again. Su Tianhe, Lie Ruoyu, and Lie Feier, these three people sat around the round table, silently staring at the Tarot cards on the table. Ye Huan also got up from the blanket and moved closer to the table.
The Death card in Tarot, symbolizing the end of something or the beginning of a brand new cycle, starting point.
"It's really her..." Su Tianhe's voice was a bit hoarse, "I've been in seclusion for 120 years, but I've also been watching the mainland from behind the scenes for 120 years. Only she is the only one who has been impenetrable to me in these 120 years!"
He rubbed his forehead, "Are there any other clues?"
"We know of a clue, I'm afraid you already know it too, Old Su?"
The next conversation was extremely slow, even to the point where Ye Huan looked a bit impatient. However, Lie Ruoyu and Su Tianhe spoke very seriously, their expressions so solemn that it seemed as if the sky had already fallen.
"Right, there are only so many clues... seventy-eight tarot cards, isn't that right?"
"Seventy-eight Tarot cards, drawing different card faces is equivalent to different ways of death!"
"Are there still seventy-eight boxes?"
"Yes, seventy-eight boxes, each containing a different weapon. Duoli drew the Queen of Spades and got a huge battle-axe. Xuechou drew the Chariot and died under a large-caliber gun. Lanqi was the most unfortunate, he drew the Lovers and died from a dagger coated with deadly poison, his dying screams scared the surrounding thousands of residents..."
"Seventy-eight Tarot cards, seventy-eight coffins, seventy-eight kinds of weapons, seventy-eight ways to die...... It's really her!"
Another silence in the room, then the conversation continued.
"Is there anything else?"
"Actually... " Lie Ruoyu found it difficult to continue, "Killing the giant dragon Dolly was just her first battle. After Dolly, Xuezhou, Lan Qi, and more than a dozen other powerful hidden masters were all killed by her. Recently, she's even been playing a game of sorts, drawing lots on the mainland's strongman ranking list, whoever gets drawn would receive a set of tarot cards from her... then, draw out one card, choose one treasure chest, one type of soldier equipment... and get killed!"
Knock knock!
Liejue fell to her knees, "Su Lao, fifteen days ago, her Tarot card also arrived at our Dari City, my grandfather drew the card, it was this Death God card! Su Lao, I dare not lie to you in your presence, my grandfather is absolutely no match for her, going into battle means death. So, please calculate what the Death God card represents, which box and which weapon! Only by knowing what weapon she will use can my grandfather know himself and his enemy, and have a chance of survival!"
Su Tianhe slowly stroked the crystal ball, and after a long time, he slowly opened his mouth. "It's not that I don't want to help your grandfather, but... Yuru, how much do you know about divination?"
Liejue Yu was taken aback for a moment, "I, Liejue Yu, know very little about divination techniques, and my grandfather didn't understand much either."
"Then I'll tell you, the first principle of Stellar Fortune Telling is, matching levels!"
Kan Lie Ru Yu didn't quite understand, so Su Tian He explained: "The meaning of level matching is that a strong person of a certain level must be predicted by a prophet of the same level. For example, if you want to divine the fate of an eighth-level Yuan Soul Master, you yourself must first possess strength above the eighth-level Yuan Soul Master. Can you understand this?"
Not to mention Lie Ruoyu, this master, Ye Huan, an outsider, also understood.
To predict the level of others, one must first possess that level themselves, isn't it easy to understand? But what did they mean by what they said earlier, about tarot cards, boxes, weapons, and ways of dying? Ye Huan's head was almost exploding from listening.
He wanted to ask, but at this solemn moment, even Lefiya, his iron-clad good friend, didn't have the mood to pay attention to him!
"Ranking match, ah!" Su Tianhe sighed with a bitter smile, "I, Su Tianhe, am only at the seventh realm's tenth level of ancestral soul, but this woman is extremely likely to have grasped the absolute iron law. Even if I, Su Tianhe, don't want to admit it, I must acknowledge that my ranking is not as high as hers, and I can't figure out everything about her! Moreover, I and my maternal soul have already..."
Lie Ru had despondently lowered her head.
"Su Big Nose, you're deceiving people!" Lie Fei'er cried out even louder, "I know, you must be unable to control your own mother's soul and are afraid of losing face, that's why you said that. Actually, you can divine her Tarot cards, you, you must be able to save my grandfather, don't tell me you can't, or else I'll chop off your old second!"
"Fei'er!"
Liu Ruoyu let out a loud cry, and she stood up bitterly, tears streaming down her face as she bowed deeply. "Su Lao, I understand now... this is my grandfather's fate... sorry to have troubled you!"
She grabbed her sister's hand and was about to go out.
Just as they were about to reach the door, Su Tianhe smiled leisurely and said slowly: "There is another move in the Star Occupation Technique, called the Natal Astrology Technique. If I use this move, perhaps I can surpass a realm and divine an extremely powerful figure!"
"......Yes!" Liefu's big eyes lit up. Her sister, however, turned her head thoughtfully and said, "The astrology of the original life... Su Lao! Is this a method of divination that uses one's own life source?"
"Not bad, using the life-span astrology once, I'll at least lose fifty years of my lifespan!" Su Tianhe suddenly swung his white robe and stood proudly in front of the crystal ball. At this moment, his aged body suddenly became majestic, and his slightly hunched waist also straightened up in an instant, as if he had returned to his 30s or 40s!
"But I, Su Tianhe, have divined countless times and am revered as the first prophet of the new humanity. For 300 years, no one has been able to escape my stellar divination technique. Today, this woman who distributes tarot cards will not be an exception either!"
At this moment, he finally matched the image of a strong man in people's eyes, proud and arrogant, refusing to admit defeat. "Lie Fei, patrol around the thatched cottage for me, strictly prohibit anyone from approaching! Lie Yu, protect the law for me, even if I sacrifice 50 years of my life today, Su Tianhe wants to see what kind of weapon this Tarot card woman will use when fighting against your grandfather!"
As he spoke, his shoulders shook and split into a figure almost identical to him.
Su Tianhe's mother soul.
This man's shadow was like a lazy dog, appearing and then lazily lying on the ground. Su Tianhe didn't even give him a glance, nor did he pay attention to Su Tianhe. He simply yawned, scratched his messy hair, looked at the carpet where Ye Huan was sitting, which seemed more comfortable, crawled over, and smiled with an open mouth.
"Brother, let's sleep together?"
Unbelievable!
Su Tianhe's mother's soul was originally also white-haired and fluttering, with a white eyebrow hanging down to her chest, looking like a Daoist immortal. But as soon as he opened his mouth, it turned out to be a lazy and drawling tone, just like a mangy dog. He bumped into Ye Huan and forcibly squeezed out a space on the blanket.
"Soo Da Nose, is this your mother's soul?" Liefu was shocked.
"One hundred and twenty years ago, we had already fallen out!" Su Tianhe's tone at this time was as if he was discussing a big basket of garbage. "Don't bother with him, for you, not having a mother soul is the same as not having a rank, but for me, who has become a tenth-level ancestor soul, his role isn't that great!"
As he spoke, he glanced impatiently at Ye Huan, "Little brother, your physical strength has recovered a bit, right? Just trouble you to keep an eye on him and don't let him cause me any more trouble... Don't worry, his attributes and soul power have all been taken back by me, so he won't pose a threat to you!"
What is called crowding out, is Su Tianhe's current appearance!
The mother's soul is so precious, the last time Ye Huan saw Oda Kiyoshi's mother's soul, she was envious for a whole half month, and even now her eyes are still red. However, the mother's soul is just the subconscious, this point he has already understood clearly, so with another Ye Huan's death, the mother's soul in Ye Huan's body also disappeared!
Ye Huan no longer has her mother's soul!
Thinking of this, he looked at Su Tianhe's mother soul with an eye that shone like a cannibal, he didn't have a mother soul, but Su Tianhe actually treated his mother soul as trash and threw it out casually...
Good grief, it's torture!
"Brother, your gaze is so scorching hot, and with my melancholy nature, it seems like I've understood the depths of your heart! Ah, could it be that you and I are the legendary wanderers who have fallen to the ends of the earth?! This mother's soul spoke up again, still in that same tone as a stray dog, pretending to be some kind of poet. Honestly, anyone hearing this tone for the first time would want to beat him up."
But Ye Huan's eyes lit up.
"That's right, I don't have a mother soul, and you are a master who doesn't want a mother soul, can jump at any time..."
