After hearing Qin Shikong’s explanation, Feng Qi suddenly understood why he had the ability to do deductions.
If he was not wrong, Qin Shikong should have a miracle item on him.
Only miracles could create special abilities that defied logic and the laws of physics.
With this in mind, he looked at the eight trigrams disc in Qin Shikong’s hand and asked curiously,
“When did you obtain the divination ability?”
Faced with the question, Qin Shikong didn’t choose to hide it. He smiled and replied,
“I had it since I was very young. I’m a scavenger, you probably know that. When I was about five years old, my parents and I were attacked by a domain transcendent creature during our migration. That attack caused our team to suffer heavy losses.
“Even though that domain transcendent creature was severely injured, the warriors in the migration team were still powerless against its curse ability. The blood essence in their bodies became nutrients for it to recover its strength. That was the first time I saw the cruelty and evil of a domain creature.
“Fortunately, there was a scavenger group nearby at that time. When they received the distress signal, they rushed over to provide support. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have survived.
“That domain transcendent creature attack also made me pay a price. Affected by the aftershock of the curse, the essence blood in my body kept flowing away. I was at the risk of dying at any moment.
“At that time, my parents went crazy and pounced on the dead domain transcendent creature, wanting to find an antidote to break the curse. Then, they stuffed many small fragments that they found from the domain transcendent creature into my mouth. They even extracted a tube of blood and fed it to me.”
“In the end, my curse was inexplicably broken. I also inexplicably obtained the ability to see the trajectories of the world.”
“Trajectories of the world?” Feng Qi was stunned.
“Specifically, at certain moments, the world in my eyes will change. It will be formed by countless intersecting threads. Every thread here is a line of fate. It will move forward according to its predetermined direction… Of course, there are exceptions. There are times when the line of fate will turn. My divination reading might not be accurate.”
Hearing Qin Shikong’s explanation, Feng Qi could not help but be dumbfounded.
He finally understood why Qin Shikong could deduce the future.
Previously, he had thought that the eight trigrams disc was related to a miracle item and had the ability to deduce the future. He did not expect this ability to come from him.
From Qin Shikong’s description, his parents must have stuffed a miracle that the domain transcendent creature carried into his mouth to save him.
After swallowing the miracle, Qin Shikong obtained the deduction ability given by the miracle after fusing with it.
It allowed him to see the trajectory lines of the world and infer future changes based on the operation of the lines.
This also proved why the blue-skinned assassin wanted to kill Qin Shikong.
Clearly, it was to snatch the miracle in his body.
After learning the specific reason, Feng Qi couldn’t help but ask curiously,
“Then the eight trigrams disc in your hand is just a decoration?”
“That’s not it. This ability of mine is very unstable. The eight trigrams disc can help me better see the trajectory lines. It’s equivalent to being my observation medium. It can allow me to better enter the state of observing the world lines. Secondly, the starry sky at night can also become a medium for me to do so.” After hearing Qin Shikong’s explanation, Feng Qi came to a realization and continued to ask,
“What about your Daoist robe?”
“This is purely used to show off. It suits my fortune-telling ability better.”
