“Let me deduce a bit further.”

Yvonne Carter had reviewed the life records of Emily Sullivan and Ethan Carter several times, becoming intimately familiar with both of them. Naturally, he was reluctant to let these two delicate flowers wither away just like that.

After all, it hadn’t been easy to win their favor, giving him the chance to live off them—such valuable connections were hard to come by, and it would be a shame to ruin them so easily.

Yvonne Carter stroked his chin, considering whether to continue shamelessly taking advantage of Emily Sullivan, or to squeeze another round of benefits from Ethan Carter.

Ethan Carter required little investment and yielded little return, often just a 250-point gain in Destiny Value.

Emily Sullivan required more investment but offered higher returns, though breaking through her tribulation was relatively more difficult.

“Qianlan, lock onto Emily Sullivan and open her life records for the next three days.”

Yvonne Carter turned around, left hand behind his back, right hand extended, fingers bent as he calculated seriously.

[This inquiry will consume 1,000 Destiny Value points. Confirm?]

“1,000 points? Why is it getting more and more expensive? This is outrageous!”

Yvonne Carter muttered inwardly.

But the system was just a light-and-shadow panel, with no room for bargaining. Even if he was dissatisfied, he still had to pay what was required.

“Confirm!”

Once Yvonne Carter confirmed in his mind, a whole new set of information appeared beneath the original life records of Emily Sullivan.

Then, this information transformed into flowing light and entered Yvonne Carter’s eyes.

[At 6:11 AM on September 1, 3030 of the Yunhuang Calendar, Emily Sullivan, led by James Sullivan and William Bennett, together with the prodigies of Wanli Sacred Land—Olivia Bennett, Henry Bennett, Lucas Parker, Benjamin Cooper, Sophia Bennett, and Ethan Carter—set out to train in the Blazing Wasteland...]

[At 1:38 PM on September 1, 3030 of the Yunhuang Calendar, the Soul-Suppressing Stele descended from the heavens, the void of the Blazing Wasteland collapsed, and the laws fell into chaos. At that time, Emily Sullivan and James Sullivan were in the ‘Blazing Abyss’ comprehending the ‘Myriad Paths of Purple Qi’ inheritance. The ‘Soul-Suppressing Stele’ crashed down from the sky, pierced through the void, and Emily Sullivan was instantly suppressed to death, her soul scattered, reduced to ashes...]

While Yvonne Carter pondered, he pulled up the life records of ‘James Sullivan’.

[James Sullivan: Male, 936 years old.

Realm: Early stage of Nascent Soul Ninth Layer.

Nascent Soul: Saint Infant 1-star.

Talent: Myriad Paths of Purple Qi.

Constitution: Chaotic Sacred Body.

Fate: ???

...]

James Sullivan was Emily Sullivan’s father, and a truly powerful figure. It was not surprising to Yvonne Carter that he couldn’t see his fate from a side view.

At that moment, Yvonne Carter locked onto each of these names one by one, opened their life records, and examined the fate section in detail.

What he saw was shocking: a blood-red “About to Fall” ran through the core area of these people’s life records.

“Your situation is indeed quite dire. Fairy Li, this time, it’s not just your tribulation—because of your tribulation, a large group of people has been implicated.”

Yvonne Carter said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, William Bennett, Emily Sullivan, and Ethan Carter all became visibly grave.

“Master Carter, please enlighten us.”

William Bennett clasped his fists and bowed.

“The morning after tomorrow, Fairy Li, your father will contact you all to go train in the Blazing Wasteland. At that time, Lord Yun and his disciples—Olivia Bennett, Henry Bennett, Lucas Parker, Benjamin Cooper, Sophia Bennett, Ethan Carter...

All of them will go.

But this time, I’m afraid none of you will return.”

“What?!”

William Bennett trembled all over. It was one thing if something happened to him, but even James Sullivan, the sovereign of the Hua Ancient Clan, wouldn’t return?

If he’d heard this before, William Bennett would never have believed it.

But now, he felt extremely uneasy!

For him, and for all the remaining members of the Hua Ancient Clan, this was a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions!

“Is it a scheme? Suppression and assassination? Or what?”

William Bennett hesitated, then asked again.

The lord of the Hua Ancient Clan, James Sullivan, was an invincible figure of this era.

If he was schemed against and killed, there would be no solution!

Even if they avoided it this time after being forewarned, what about the next time?

“Do you know about the Soul-Suppressing Stele?”

Yvonne Carter didn’t answer directly, but asked a question in return.

“Soul-Suppressing Stele? What’s that?”

William Bennett clearly didn’t know.

“A giant stele descends from the sky, piercing through the entire Blazing Sun Wasteland. Every being in that region will perish. Whether it’s a natural disaster or man-made, think about it carefully.”

Yvonne Carter didn’t hold back—he was still hoping to defy fate again and earn a large amount of Destiny Value to unlock the Destiny Shop.

“How is that possible?!”

William Bennett was stunned again, unable to hide the horror on his face.

“Ali.”

William Bennett pondered for a moment, then looked at Emily Sullivan.

“Lord, you should report this truthfully to Father.”

Emily Sullivan nodded gently.

The next moment, William Bennett didn’t hesitate and immediately sent a message.

The Phantom Spirit Boat continued to fly through the air.

William Bennett soon got in touch with James Sullivan.

“Previously, Yan’er mentioned to me a young man named ‘Yvonne Carter’. This person is quite impressive. Judging from Yan’er’s tone, she seems to be quite fond of this young man.”
