Chapter 1090 Oracle Outside, people were still cleaning up the battlefield, while Dante was busy unifying the statements of all the Archaic Tribe members who participated in the battle. They all agreed that Sylvieâs strength was merely at the level of peak Half-Step Flame Decay. As for the others in the base, it doesnât really matter. Anyway, they had already dismissed the rumor that Junior and the others had spread, claiming Sylvie was a Supreme Flame Decayer. Even though the rumor had spread, they insisted that Sylvie hadnât reached the level of Flame Decay, and that was enough for them. If the Eight Forces insist on testing Sylvieâs true strength, then weâll deal with it when the time comes.
Dante, with a worried expression, kept reminding everyone repeatedly. Inside the room, Gerald and six others were sitting, all of them looking at Sylvie. Sylvie sighed and looked at Kristian and Anabel, saying, âActually, with your level of authority within the Archaic Tribe, it wouldnât be difficult for you to access this information!â The owner of the divination attribute is also known as an oracle!â Sylvie said, âThroughout the recorded history of Havotune, we are now in the Fifth Epoch.
In the past, there have been a total of three oracles! And without exception, all three of them eventually went mad.â âWent mad?â
Triston said, speechless. âSo what if youâre crazy? Does that mean youâre as good as dead?â Sylvie shook her head and said, âItâs not just that!
The first Oracle emerged during the First Epoch, which lasted for 3,200 years. At that time, Havotune had already harnessed nuclear power. With the Oracleâs formidable strength and a certain divination attribute, coupled with the process of globalization, he became the first ruler to govern over half of Havotune. In history, this renowned emperor was known as the Pioneer Emperor.
However, in his later years, he suddenly went mad, slaughtering everyone in the palace that night. Afterward, he recklessly carried out nuclear strikes, all the while repeating a single phrase! Destruction brings forth rebirth.â
At that time, he was the strongest in Havotune, unmatched by anyone. Countless people died due to his madness, and the entire Havotune was full of suffering and distress. Then, one day, he regained his sanity and ultimately chose to end his life, leaving the world behind.
But due to his madness, Havotuneâs first-generation civilization was nearly destroyed. Less than ten percent of the population survived!â Geraldâs expression shifted slightly.
At this point, Sylvie continued, âThe second generation Oracle appeared during the middle of the Second Epoch, around the 4,300th year. She was a woman who, like her predecessor, rose to power by utilizing her terrifying divination attribute. With her ability to conquer any enemy and win every battle, she quickly established her rule over Havotune.â
âThen, she ruled over the Havotune people, defended against alien invasions, and vigorously developed technology. Promise Group rose to prominence during her reign,â Sylvie said. Triston instinctively asked, âHave you guys also experienced an alien attack here?â
After saying that, he suddenly felt that something was off, and quickly closed his mouth. Anabel and Kristian didnât seem to mind too much; they were looking at Sylvie.
Sylvie said, âThatâs just how law of the cosmos works. The cosmos is infinitely vast, and who knows how many civilizations exist within it. When you discover a civilization, you canât predict what theyâll do in the future. The best approach is to rule and enslave them!â
After she finished, she continued, âThe second generation oracle was also the only ruler of that Epoch. During her reign, Havotune successfully connected with cosmos and entered the cosmos network. Although she was a woman, she was extremely warlike. It was during her time that Havotuneâs reputation within cosmos was established. At the same time, the three satellites in the sky were also inhabited by humans during that period.
However, in her later years, she went mad as well. She personally killed all her closest relatives and slaughtered the leaders of the ancient families at that time. Whenever she encountered someone with the level of Flame Decay or above, she would kill them without Ìhesitation. During her madness, she would constantly mutter the words spoken by the first generation oracle.
Destruction... brings forth rebirth!â After she went mad, most of the top families were destroyed by her.
After going mad for a while, she regained her senses and discovered that she had killed countless loved ones. She burst into tears, and then boarded an aircraft, leaving Havotune to wander the vast expanse of space.â
Gerald gasped in shock, his heart filled with astonishment. Possessing divination attribute, once they have grown, it can be said that they are almost invincible in battle. Ruling this world becomes relatively simple for them.
In their later years, they went mad, even potentially destroying an entire civilization. He suddenly understood why Dante had just questioned whether his own decision was correct. In the event that one day Sylvie experiences the same...
At this point, Sylvie continued, âAfter the second generation of oracles, the survivors no longer allowed the existence of oracles.
Once they discovered someone with the divination attribute awakening, they would quickly eliminate them. There isnât much documentation about this period.
Towards the end of the Third Epoch, another oracle emerged. In fact, this person had awakened their oracle abilities long ago but had been kept hidden, providing counsel to a royal family known as Nius Kingdom,â Sylvie said. âWith the help of the oracleâs abilities, Nius Kingdom transformed from a small empire into a thriving one, eventually uniting the entire northern region of Havotune!
However, due to the presence of two oracles, the royal family of Nius Kingdom had confined one of them.â Sylvie, taking a breath and continued, âBut even so, that oracle still continued to approach the eternal level of Flame Decay.â But this time, he didnât succeed. Nius Kingdom was already quite powerful at that time. When they saw that the oracle was about to break through, they cruelly used an ancient method to peel off his skin, containing his attribute, and made it into a parchment!â Sylvie exclaimed, catching her breath.
And at that time, the third generation oracle left a curse, cursing the royal brothers of Nius Kingdom to fight amongst themselves, causing internal chaos...â Sylvie said with a bitter smile.
âAfter the formation of the parchment, chaos indeed erupted within the Nius Kingdom. They engaged in all sorts of incestuous relationships, fighting fiercely for the parchment. The once-prominent Nius Kingdom quickly declined, with many deformed children born into the royal family, becoming the laughingstock of Havotune! After the parchment disappeared, no more oracles emerged because the divination attribute is an exclusive one.
Gradually, this attribute was forgotten by people. However, the parchment, with its prophetic nature, became a highly sought-
after object.â Sylvie explained, âBut ever since the second generation of oracles, anyone who possessed this attribute was not allowed to survive!
When I broke through the level of Flame Decay, I realized that my attribute wasnât as complete as I thought, so I went to look up some related information,â
Sylvie said with a bitter smile. âAfter learning all this, I found it absurd, even thinking it might be fabricated by later generations.
But I didnât dare to say anything, and neither did anyone else. I was afraid that if I spoke out, I would be killed!â Gerald was speechless, and he exchanged glances with Triston. This divination attribute is indeed a bit frightening.
Whether itâs a prophecy or a curse! Of course, this so-called curse can actually be explained. The internal struggles within the royal family may not necessarily be due to a curse. However, after examining the three generations of oracle, it is highly likely that those who possess them will receive notifications!
Regardless of whether itâs the apprehension towards oracleâs threat to the Eight Forces ruling position, or the destruction brought about by oracleâs madness in her later years, there is no reason to let her live. âSo, after explaining all this in detail, are you still willing to protect me?â Sylvieâs eyes held a hint of despair.
Triston curled his lips and said, âI donât believe any of this. History isnât always accurate, and the victors might have made things up. You seem pretty normal right now. As for the future, weâll deal with it when it comes.â
Gerald ignored the question and frowned as he said, âBut on another note, you mentioned that this attribute-related ability has an exclusive attribute, and the parchment has a divination attribute. How did you acquire this attribute-related ability?â Sylvie shook her head and said, âI donât know either.â
Gerald opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but suddenly he felt a terrifying aura approaching. His expression changed, and he looked at Sylvie, saying, âFirst, control your power at the level of peak Half-Step Flame Decay. Weâll talk about the rest later!â
