Chapter 211
The Grand State Master, more than anyone else, hoped that this was all an error in his calculations.
But he knew better than anyone that his deduction would not be wrong.
He said, “I’ve been practicing divination for almost a thousand years. My calculations have never been wrong. I wish more than anyone that my calculations were wrong. However, I’ve repeatedly deduced and calculated countless times. However, every time, the future of the Holy Spirit Continent will be cut off six years later!”
The Grand State Master raised his head and stared at Yu Huang with a burning gaze. He said in a deep voice, “And you are the only unforeseen factor that I found after hundreds of calculations.”
Under the mask, Yu Huang frowned.
She did not understand what unforeseen factor she was.
Was it because she was an outsider?
Seeing Yu Huang’s confused expression, the Grand State Master told her, “Your fate is very strange. On the day of your full moon celebration, the Prime Master brought you to the Divination Tower to see me…”
That was 20 years ago.
That summer, Yin Mingjue came to the Divination Tower with a baby in his arms and requested to meet the Grand State Master. At that time, Yin Mingjue was already a Prime Master beast tamer.
The Grand State Master and Yin Mingjue were old friends, and the Grand State Master invited them in.
The moment they met, Yin Mingjue took out a bag of red-shell eggs and handed it to the Grand State Master. He said, “Grand State Master, today is my beloved daughter’s full moon celebration. This is a full moon egg. Please try it, Grand State Master.”
It was the custom of the Divine Moon Kingdom to eat full moon eggs during a full moon banquet.
When a guest ate a full moon egg, it could be considered a blessing to the child. The Grand State Master didn’t like eating eggs, but he did eat one that day.
Yin Mingjue was especially happy to see the Grand State Master eat the full moon egg. He handed the infant daughter to the Grand State Master and said to him, “My daughter still doesn’t have a name. You are a person of virtue and prestige. Please give this child a name.”
The Grand State Master stared at the fair and tender baby girl in Yin Mingjue’s arms before asking, “What kind of name do you want? What are your hopes for this child?”
Children’s names often hid their parents’ hopes for them.
Yin Mingjue said without thinking, “I don’t want her to become a dragon or phoenix. I just want this child to grow up healthy and safe.”
Nodding his head, the Grand State Master stared at Yu Huang’s face.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the soundly sleeping Yu Huang woke up.
That pair of round eyes suddenly opened. The Grand State Master could tell that this child had a short lifespan when he saw her eyes. He calculated with his fingers that this child would have a life and death calamity in two months.
Yin Mingjue’s only hope for his daughter’s name was for her to grow up healthy and safe.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
However, this hope had actually become an unrealistic wish.
The Grand State Master pondered for a long time before saying, “Only when a phoenix undergoes nirvana can it be reborn. Why don’t we call her Yin Huang?”
Yin Mingjue seemed to have discerned the hidden meaning behind the Grand State Master’s words. His expression changed slightly. He wanted to ask for the truth, but he knew that the Grand State Master would never reveal anything. Afraid that he would break the Grand State Master’s rules, Yin Mingjue didn’t dare to ask further. He said, “It’s a good name.” The name ‘Phoenix’ was given to Yu Huang by the Grand State Master himself. Therefore, when Yu Donghai found Yu Huang and brought her to the Prosperous Capital, he did not dare to change her name. He was afraid that if the name changed, Yu Huang’s providence would change as well.
When he recalled this past, the Grand State Master also felt rather emotional. “I named you ‘Phoenix’ because I hoped that you would have a tenacious and unyielding character. Even if the future is fraught with danger, I hope that you can endure the hardship and be reborn.”
“But a name is just a code name, a kind of hope. It can’t change anything. But I didn’t expect you to come back to life.”
Yu Huang never thought that she would have such a bond with the Grand State Master.
So her name was given to her by the Grand State Master.
However, Yu Huang did not understand how she became the variable that the Grand State Master mentioned.
“Grand State Master, after saying so much, do you really think that I can save the Holy Spirit Continent?” Yu Huang’s expression was filled with self-mockery. She believed that she was talented,
but she was not arrogant enough to think that she could save the entire world.
Seeing that Yu Huang was full of doubts, the Grand State Master asked her, “You don’t believe me?”
