The woman sat down on the sofa with her back to the fire.
Warm light radiated from behind her, outlining a rough outline of her figure, and her face was hidden in the darkness, no longer looking terrifying and infiltrating.
She motioned for Amelia Su to sit on another chair.
Amelia Su sat down and looked at each other.
For some reason, Amelia Su suddenly felt a sense of relaxation and warmth in her heart.
"Do you want to see your future?" the woman asked.
"I don't want to." Amelia Su shook her head.
"Why? Isn't it a good thing to have a glimpse of destiny?"
"I came here to escape my fate, so I don't want to know what it was like."
The woman paused and then asked: "So, you are not satisfied with your life?"
"Which side do you mean?"
"You are a young lady, and of course I am referring to your life as an aristocrat - balls, horse riding, afternoon tea, beautiful dresses."
"I am a professional in the Five Elements and Four Stages. Except for skirts, these things are like shadows in a slide show. They are unreal and boring." Su Xueer said.
"Professional... So your intention here is to gain strength?"
"Yes, I want to become stronger." Su Xueer said.
The woman suddenly burst into laughter uncontrollably.
"A true heir! I haven't seen him for hundreds of years."
She seemed happy.
"Every successor is hesitant between power and strength."
"Smart people will choose power, because once they have power, no matter what it is, just say a word, and the corresponding people will naturally handle it properly."
"Very few people choose to inherit their power."
"This road is too difficult and dangerous. You can die at any time. And if you die, your death will be in vain. You will get nothing. Even I can't protect you."
"Your choice is full of courage. Next, you can ask me questions about strength at will." The woman said.
"This is unprecedented treatment, and you have to take advantage of it," she added.
Su Xueer said: "I saw the control room of the spaceship. So, our Jiufu comes from other planets?"
"That's right."
"Why?"
"There are so many cosmic monsters here, and it's a remote corner. It can be considered a paradise."
"Utopia! Are we here as refugees?"
"Smart girl."
Su Xueer asked again: "But so many disasters have broken out in the world, what will we do in the future?"
"Disaster? What do you mean?"
"Sea monsters, killer ghosts, immortality games, killer clowns."
"Is this considered a disaster? It's just some loud noises with loud thunder and small raindrops."
The woman shook her head and let out a chuckle: "Please cherish your life now. There are few days in the world that are as stable as ours."
"You mean there will be more disasters?"
"Child, regarding power, that's not what you really want to ask." The woman interrupted her question.
Amelia Su fell silent.
The woman looked at her as if she could see into her heart.
"I can feel your anxiety, but I want to say, please cherish the opportunity. Only on this day can every palace master get the opportunity to change his destiny."
"After this day, no matter how regretful you are, you won't be able to get my help."
Su Xueer gritted her teeth and said, "Then I asked. If it's wrong, please don't mind."
"Say it."
"How...how can I obtain the power of the fifth section of the Five Elements?"
"Why do you need the power of the fifth section?"
"To control your own destiny."
"Everyone who comes here asks how to dominate the world. Only you want to dominate yourself."
"Can you tell me?"
"I'm not sure, come here, I need to take a closer look at you."
Amelia Su stood up and came to the woman.
The woman stretched out her bony fingers wrapped in a thin layer of human skin and gently held up Su Xueer's little hand.
"Special Five Elements, the fourth stage of Wind Spirit... has reached its limit and can no longer be broken through." The woman said softly.
"No."
Amelia Su's face turned pale in an instant, and she shook her head in despair.
Best wishes dashed.
In fact, she also had a vague sense of her own talent.
There are very few people in the world who can reach the fifth stage of the Five Elements.
The woman comforted her: "Destiny is not eternal. We always have ways to change its direction."
"Please tell me how."
"I need to take a closer look at you. Kneel down and hold your head up."
Amelia Su knelt down as instructed so that the woman could take a better look at herself.
The woman turned around and turned over the fire in the fireplace with an iron pick.
The fire became warm and bright.
The woman still sat backlit, and the light reflected her outline into deeper darkness. She stretched out her bone-like hands to hold Su Xueer's face, and looked at it carefully.
And Su Xueer faced the firelight, her longing eyes shining brightly.
After a long time, the woman spoke.
"The power of Guizang doesn't like you."
"The Chosen One...is cut off by your body and cannot reach your soul."
"The power of the Five Elements and Wind Spirit is almost full and cannot hold any more."
"What a solid destiny..."
"Girl, aren't you willing to think of other ways, such as using power or wealth to change your life?"
The woman sighed and continued: "You are a rare heir. I actually want to help you."
"I can tell you Emperor Fuxi's background, tell you the President's little secret, and even ask the guy who started the religion to do something for you. I can also help you attack other palace masters to expand the power of the Su Palace."
"Because you are so lovable, I can even adjust your authority at the goddess of justice to be very high, so that you can do anything conveniently."
"Goddess of Justice..."
"Yes, that's ours."
Su Xueer thought for a moment, but still shook her head and said: "No, these are foreign objects and cannot fulfill my wish."
"I just want the power to be in my own hands."
The woman said: "This is very difficult, and it requires a lot of high costs, even lives."
"I'm willing to pay the price." Su Xueer said.
The woman looked at her deeply and waved after a long while.
A low wooden table appeared next to the two of them.
"According to the rules of the inheritance ceremony," the woman said, "each successor has the authority to let me activate a destiny-based natural selection skill, but their desires are too superficial, and I can complete their inheritance without any effort at all. .”
"And you, little girl, you are sober and know what is most important."
"So you plan to help me?" Su Xueer asked.
"I repeat, once you choose this path, you may die," the woman said.
"I would rather die on the way to achieve my wish." Su Xueer said.
"Such courage, or rather recklessness, really impressed me." The woman knocked on the table and said, "It seems I have to take action."
"Please put your belongings up."
As she spoke, a black card quietly appeared, suspended in the void above her head.
"How many pieces should you put?" Su Xueer asked.
"All of them," the woman said.
"...These things won't be damaged, right?" Su Xueer said hesitantly.
"Of course not."
Su Xueer came out in a hurry and didn't have time to bring anything.
She placed her belongings on the table.
