Chapter 239: Aren’t There Quite a Few Similarities?

Fu Xuan had indeed divined that something good was going to happen today. At first, she was quite puzzled. But after a more detailed reading, she realized that an extraordinary guest was arriving. Adding to that, she had the odd feeling earlier that someone had been watching her.

That prompted her to conduct a more thorough divination, and she discovered that the long-missing fox tribe girl, whose fate had been unknown, had actually been rescued. And what's more, she would be returning to the Xianzhou very soon. This made Fu Xuan feel unsettled, and she immediately made her way here.

"Hello! I'm Takumi. I didn't expect the renowned Lady Type-C herself would come here. Did you foresee something in your divination?"

In response to Takumi's question, Fu Xuan nodded. "Something good is destined to happen today, so I came. Mr. Takumi, welcome to Luofu."

Takumi smiled upon hearing that. "I merely brought her back and let her handle a few matters. After that, I intend to take her with me."

Fu Xuan was slightly surprised upon hearing this, but didn't comment further. The two stood and chatted casually for a while.

Before long, March 7th and the others came through the spatial passage. As soon as March 7th arrived, she spotted Fu Xuan.

"Huh? Fu Xuan, you're here too?"

"Lady Fu Xuan!" Tingyun's eyes lit up when she saw Fu Xuan and immediately greeted her.

"Seeing that you've returned puts my mind at ease. Make sure to inform Yukong. She's been rather distressed about your situation. And in the future, follow Mr. Takumi. I've done a reading—it shows your future with him is limitless."

Hearing this, Tingyun froze for a moment. "Understood. I'm willing to follow my benefactor. I'll go meet Lady Yukong shortly. I've truly caused her a lot of worry."

As she said this, she felt a bit guilty. Given what had happened to her, Yukong must have been terribly upset. As for what Fu Xuan said—following Takumi—she didn't think much of it. That actually sounded quite good. She didn't know exactly what kind of person her benefactor was, but since Fu Xuan endorsed him, she would certainly obey.

"Tingyun, are you really going to follow Takumi? That means leaving this world, you know?" March 7th blinked in surprise. She didn't quite understand why Fu Xuan would suggest that.

March 7th's words made Tingyun pause, but she quickly composed herself.

"I don't mind. If my benefactor is willing to take me away, that's actually quite wonderful."

This world was far too dangerous. She didn't want to go through those experiences again. Besides, if her benefactor could be here, that meant he had the ability to return at any time. So it wouldn't be a problem.

"I will take Tingyun with me," Takumi said, smiling. "But if she ever wants to return, she only needs to say the word. She can come back here anytime—it's no trouble."

Takumi smiled gently at everyone. Truth be told, he hadn't expected Fu Xuan to say such things. Her words had saved him a lot of explaining.

"Hmm... that's true," March 7th nodded in agreement. "It would be easy for Takumi to bring Tingyun back anytime."

The group chatted for a while longer before Takumi spoke up.

"Miss Tingyun, go take care of your matters first. I'll come find you later."

After saying that, Takumi disappeared and resumed wandering the world. He gave Tingyun time to settle her affairs, so he wouldn't interfere for now.

Once Takumi vanished, Fu Xuan turned her gaze to March 7th.

"I'm quite curious—what is Mr. Takumi's identity?"

Though she had divined that Takumi was an esteemed guest, his true identity remained elusive. March 7th should know, right?

Tingyun was also curious.

"Takumi is a Stellaron Hunter," March 7th began, chattering away. "He's a newly ascended Aeon from another world!"

Hearing her explanation, both Fu Xuan and Tingyun were stunned.

An Aeon? Shocking!

They were both absolutely astonished. So he really was that newly ascended Aeon? Incredible!

...

Meanwhile, Takumi was unaware of what was happening after he left. He was currently streaming in the chat group while wandering around, chatting with everyone.

Fujiwara Chika, in particular, was deeply curious about Takumi's destiny.

Fujiwara Chika: [Does your path overlap with other Aeons?] [Black-handsome Void, and Entropy.] [Isn't that risky? Aren't Aeons capable of mutual assimilation?]

This was what intrigued her the most.

The Entropy path naturally overlapped with several others. The Aeon of Order had already been assimilated by the Aeon of Harmony, after all. Would Takumi face the same problem?

Takumi: [What does this outsider Aeon have to do with the locals?] [Which Aeon is bold enough to try assimilating me?]

Takumi found the suggestion ridiculous. That sort of thing wouldn't happen to him.

Leaving aside his strength—he was already on par with Aeons even before ascending. Furthermore, he had always been favored by the Imaginary Tree, and now he'd become a full-fledged Aeon. He was essentially an out-of-system entity. Others couldn't meddle with him.

In fact, in this world, it was uncertain if anyone could even step into his destined path.

A mere official trying to execute the crown prince? Outrageous!

Seeing Takumi's response, Fujiwara Chika exclaimed in disbelief.

Is that so?

Himeko: [Aeons in our world are obsessive incarnations of abstract, highly condensed philosophical concepts. But Takumi is an outsider. His Aeonhood came from the Imaginary Tree, unlike the Aeons here who ascend through their own understanding.]

Himeko clarified the distinction. They were fundamentally different, so the concerns Fujiwara Chika raised wouldn't apply.

Fujiwara Chika: [Is that so? How complicated!!]

Reading Himeko's message gave Chika a headache. It was too complicated. She couldn't understand it. Forget it, she didn't want to think anymore. Brains weren't for her.

Takumi: [Besides, I'm not even from this world, so there's no need to worry about that issue. If we're really talking about risk, going to the Little Garden could be more dangerous.]

[After all, the path of Entropy somewhat overlaps with one of the twin goddesses of creation and end—the Goddess of Omega.]

One of Shiroyasha's top superiors. Creation Alpha and Entropy Omega.

Aren't those a bit too similar?
