Chapter 286: Chapter 61 The Descent of the Glorious Star
“Do you see? The second wave of destiny has begun.”
The sa dim star point suddenly appeared in the sky, and in the Astrology Tower at the top of Sky City, an elder wearing an extrely plain gray Magic Robe, with half-transparent spiral whiskers, closed his eyes and spoke in a flat tone.
Strangely, his voice rapidly faded away as soon as it left his body.
“Preparations are complete, Brents; the Mages tasked with the mission have already reached the positions you ntioned. As soon as the Empire experiences the disturbances prophesied, our people can rush to investigate imdiately!”
After a mont, another voice, sounding quite hearty, ca out of the void, as if an invisible person heard his words, and then responded.
“Don’t be careless, Orvani. The Net of Destiny has encountered unknown disturbances, and the original trajectory has begun to deviate. Even though I have made temporary redies, I could only slightly twist it back a bit.”
Hearing the response from the void, the elder shook his head indifferently,
“And, last ti, I twisted and concealed the real Net of Destiny, leading them astray with the Mirror of Destiny. This ti, they will not be fooled again.
Thus, this will be a head-on war, you had better prepare them ntally.”
“Then, is the disturbance of the Net of Destiny due to too much intervention on your part, Brents?”
The voice in the void asked, with a hint of curiosity.
“I’m not sure, maybe.”
….
Loran Kingdom, Qatar Desert.
In the center of the ruins of an ancient city, the Prophet nad Grey Mist, also sensing sothing, lifted his head to look at that dim star.
“Is it starting? The second shockwave.”
Next to him, two figures also lifted their heads.
They too exuded an odd sense that seed to twist and alienate them from the world, making their figures sowhat distorted, though not as intense as Grey Mist’s.
“The Net of Destiny is trembling slightly, and the source seems to be that star.”
To the left of Grey Mist, a figure cloaked in a bright red hooded Magic Robe spoke gravely, the voice sounded like a woman’s.
“So, in what way will it affect the situation of the entire Continent?”
On the other side, a man draped in a black robe spoke, his tone not at all concerned about the turmoil on the Continent, just filled with intense curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.
“…”
Grey Mist ignored the words of the two people and just turned his gaze to a corner of the sky.
Above the distant horizon of the desert, the Sky City, like a tiny point, reflected a subtle silver light, flickering in the moonlight.
The second upheaval is about to begin; surely, you are also prepared, right?
Then, let us continue to compete, respected teacher!
….
“Over there, did a star suddenly appear?!”
On the terrace of Pamir Academy, Fiona rubbed her eyes in shock, suspecting that she was seeing things.
But when she reopened her eyes, that star hadn’t disappeared; it was still there, which ans it was not an illusion.
And more so, upon looking, the girl always felt that the brightness of that suddenly appeared star seed to be increasing!
“Wait, brother! Look at that star! Isn’t it getting brighter?!”
“Your feeling is correct, Fei. And, it’s about to fall——”
Anvis nodded, and with the girl’s suppressed cry, the brightness of that star suddenly began to soar, eventually even resembling a small sun.
Afterward, its position in the sky suddenly began to move slowly, then it picked up speed, and its shape elongated, trailing a long, incandescent white ‘tail’.
“Brother! Do you still rember the legend Mother used to tell us? When a star falls, as long as you make a wish at its last mont of brilliance, the wish will co true.”
Fiona jumped up excitedly, for it was her first ti witnessing a real teor fall.
Because of the existence of the Sky Peak Barrier, a falling star in Unival is a spectacle that occurs once in a thousand years.
While the Sky Peak Barrier’s defense against foreign inanimate objects doesn’t seem as absolute internally, it doesn’t an it can easily be breached.
In fact, aside from so extrely special things, most other things cannot land on the surface of Yar Continent at all.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the legend spread, claiming that making a wish to the light of a falling star could make the wish co true.
“If you want to make a wish, you have to be quick, Fei, the radiance of a teor is brilliant, but also incredibly fleeting.”
Watching the sparkling falling star that illuminated the whole night sky in an instant, Anvis, sensing the violent fluctuations in the Net of Destiny, smiled at the excited girl with flushed cheeks.
“Mhm! Got it, brother, you make a wish quickly too!”
Upon hearing this, Fiona reminded Anvis before quickly putting down Kate, crossing her hands over her chest, closing her eyes, and making a wish about sothing unknown.
Make a wish upon a shooting star?
The girl with her eyes closed did not see the complex look that flashed in the boy’s eyes as he gazed at the incandescent white teor in the sky.
Once, young Anvis too had made a wish to the light of a falling star.
But it was only in the end that he realized his wish could not be fulfilled by a teor.
Nevertheless, not wanting to disappoint the girl, looking at the teor falling southeastward toward the Empire, Anvis eventually closed his eyes and made a wish randomly.
I wish to be everyone’s father—
……
As the suddenly appearing star’s brightness increased dramatically, the gaze of countless non-Prophetic Professionals across the Yar Continent was finally drawn to it.
“Look! What is that?!”
In the bustling Karlars City, a Third Rank Professional opened his mouth wide in shock, pointing at the sky, sowhat dumbstruck.
“By the gods… is this a divine sign?”
Next to him, several rcenary companions were also uncontrollably gaping, even letting their wineglasses drop to the ground without noticing.
This scene had beco a miniature of all the cities on Yar Continent. Countless people stared blankly upward at the night sky, which suddenly lit up like daylight, unsure of what to do.
anwhile, the true High Rank Professionals were already prepared thanks to the warnings from the Prophets.
Gloria Palace, the Great Cathedral of the Holy Chant, Silver Moon Kingdom’s Thousand Tower Forest…
Eyes filled with fearso power watched the shining falling star closely, quickly analyzing its force and trying to predict its trajectory and where it would fall.
They mustn’t confront it directly; that’s the conclusion everyone reached after their calculations. This was not only because of the terrifying magic power contained within the star body itself but also the substantive force of destiny it carried!
Under the influence of the Net of Destiny, anyone who tried to interfere directly with the teor would suffer imnsely from the backlash of fate.
Even Ninth Rank Professionals who had mastered the power of rules would suffer irreversible serious injuries on the spot!
In the sky, under the watchful eyes that signified different things across the entire continent, part of the teor suddenly split into two, one large and one small.
The smaller half followed an arc and crashed thunderously into the Magna Province on the southeastern side of the Gloria Empire.
The ruler of Magna Province belongs to the Enock family from the Four Great Families, who specialize in spells.
The larger part continued on its original trajectory and heavily plunged into the Endless Sea to the southeast of the Empire.
