Chapter 1036 - 986: Divine Calculation! Entertaining Guests
CHAPTER 1036: CHAPTER 986: DIVINE CALCULATION! ENTERTAINING GUESTS
"That’s the so-called Wise World they’re talking about." The young blond man scratched his head, "In fact, the boss is also a destiny’s wheel of the wise. Ah, it’s a long story. This matter is extremely complicated. The boss can perform divination, so before leaving, she foresaw your return and told me in advance."
"Can perform divination..." Ye Wanlan murmured, as if suddenly thinking of something, she abruptly looked up, "Divine Calculation?"
Rong Shi once told her that far too few people could see the future with a single glance.
Most of those who know about future events do so because they stand at a higher dimension.
It’s like someone standing on the seventeenth floor knowing that in the next ten seconds, two people on the tenth floor will meet at the corner.
It’s not because the person on the seventeenth floor can perform divination, but because they stand higher and see further.
And among the true divination masters, only one is the strongest—
Divine Calculation.
Just this title alone indicates how powerful her divination ability is.
Rong Shi also said that worlds do not interfere with each other, and divination masters of one world cannot foresee events in other worlds.
But Divine Calculation is different.
As long as she wishes, she can even see the future of other universes.
That is the power of Divine Calculation.
"Ah... yes, that’s right, many people call the boss by that name." The young blond man nodded, "But the boss always says she is a charlatan."
Upon hearing the word "charlatan," Ye Wanlan suddenly smiled, "Do you know where she is now? I’d like to meet her."
"No idea." The young blond man sighed, "The boss’s friend came from another universe to find her, took her away, said they formed some kind of Cosmic Guard Team to punish evil and promote good. She came back once along the way, but left again not long ago."
He was also very upset.
He had always hoped his boss would take him to dig more gold.
Who would dislike having more money?
At least he wouldn’t!
He wished to sleep on gold every day, waking up to see nothing but golden shine all around.
Such a life would be perfect.
"Cosmic Guard Team?" Ye Wanlan raised her brows, "Sounds interesting."
"The boss doesn’t think so, the boss thinks the name is silly." The young blond man shrugged, "But there’s nothing to do about it, since that’s her best friend. The boss was forced to join because she just wants to retire."
At this point, he suddenly clapped his hands, "Because when the boss’s friend was looking for her, he accidentally entered a world very similar to ours. So the boss told me that you might also lose your way, and when you arrive, I should explain things to you."
"Very similar world?" Ye Wanlan mused, "It should be Earth No. 9 where Xiaoqing stays."
No wonder she’s called Divine Calculation, truly thorough.
The young blond man waved his hand, "Come on, now that you’re here, don’t leave in a hurry. I must host you well, I’ll have my gold that’s been cherished for centuries brought out for you to see!"
Thus, under the enthusiastic invitation of the young blond man, Ye Wanlan and Yan Tingfeng followed him into the core building of World City—
Wise Man’s Institute.
Five years ago, the Wise Man’s Institute built for countless years was destroyed in the second holy war.
The current Wise Man’s Institute is newly constructed, fresh as new.
"Hi, I almost forgot to introduce myself, forgot you guys aren’t from around here and don’t know me." The young blond man grinned, "I’m Cesar Laurent, the fifth of the Twenty-two Sages, the Wise Emperor. How may I address you two distinguished guests?"
Ye Wanlan was a bit surprised, "Didn’t the Wise World tell you our names?"
"Of course." Cesar thought for a moment, said, "Because the boss also mentioned that if it’s someone like her, completely outside the universe’s rules, she cannot foresee everything. Her friend is one of them."
"I see." Ye Wanlan extended her hand, "Ye Wanlan, pleased to meet you."
However, upon seeing her gesture, Cesar instantly retreated a few meters: "Don’t come closer, I can’t beat people like you and the boss!"
"Mr. Cesar, don’t be afraid." Ye Wanlan reassured, "I’m a law-abiding good citizen."
Cesar: "..."
He didn’t believe a word!
Just like how his boss always said she was an ordinary person, a charlatan, but what happened?
He realized that whatever big shots say, it should be interpreted in reverse.
That’s right, this Miss Ye must be an outlaw!
Thinking of this, Cesar took another step back.
Yan Tingfeng chuckled softly, also introduced himself, "Yan Tingfeng, partner of Xiao Wan."
He especially emphasized the last five words.
Cesar: "....Why are you like a demon?"
Yan Tingfeng also raised an eyebrow, "Wise Demon?"
"He also likes to introduce himself this way." Cesar spread his hands, "Every time saying he’s with the boss, but he has more status than you because he and the boss are already married!"
Hearing this, Yan Tingfeng’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, his voice light: "Higher status than me?"
His smile was clear, but Cesar felt a chilling murder intent.
"As agreed, you’re both law-abiding citizens." Cesar took another step back, "It’s rare for everyone to gather together, absolutely no fighting!"
If a fight is to happen, it’s not up to him, the boss has to take action!
Yan Tingfeng’s eyelashes drooped, his voice lowered: "Xiao Wan, he said I have no status, no title."
Cesar: "..."
Did he ever say that?
Ye Wanlan squeezed his palm: "Alright, we’ll discuss our matters when we’re home."
After finishing, she looked at Cesar again: "Mr. Cesar, did you have something very important to ask me?"
"To be honest, when I was young, the boss took me to Atlantis." Cesar coughed twice, cleared his throat, "At that time, Atlantis was overflowing with gold. I relied on this batch of gold, plus the boss’s help, to make the Lauren Family the top family in Florence during the seventeenth century."
Ye Wanlan nodded, "Atlantis is a mobile world. It must have been in your world at that time."
"So—" Cesar’s eyes sparkled, "Miss Ye, since you’re the king of Atlantis, can you take me to dig gold? I promise, I won’t take it all!"
Ye Wanlan roughly understood why Cesar never looked at her as a person, but as money.
She also knew of the Atlantis Cesar spoke of.
Long ago, indeed, Atlantis was covered in gold.
"I’m afraid not." Ye Wanlan slightly shook her head, "The time when Atlantis was overflowing with gold was its golden age, which was eighteen thousand years ago from the current Atlantis."
Cesar’s smile froze, "E... eighteen thousand years?"
Earth No. 22 is in the 21st century, the 17th century was only a few hundred years ago!
How did Atlantis suddenly advance eighteen thousand years?!
"The flow of time is different in each world, which leads to such situations." Ye Wanlan calmly explained, "And because Atlantis moves among different worlds, the gold from eighteen thousand years ago has long turned to dust. The current Atlantis is similar to World City, a place of high-tech development."
Cesar’s meticulous plans didn’t account for meeting Atlantis’s king, yet Atlantis is no longer in its golden age.
"My gold..." Cesar looked up to the sky, deeply saddened, "My gold! You can’t just leave me like this! You leave, how am I supposed to live?!"
"Cesar, you are very noisy." A voice rang out, cold and icy, "How many times have I told you not to bring outsiders into the Wise Man’s Institute, want a fight?"
It was a young man, handsome in appearance, with typical Western features, deep-set facial features, and fair skin.
He had short silver-white hair, wore two small black diamond studs in his right ear, and was dressed in a black biker jacket.
No one knew when he arrived, but he stood with arms crossed leaning against a door, coldly eyeing Cesar.
