"I merely wish to have a chat with His Majesty the King about the future, the future of the Primordial Continent..."
Hearing the Goddess of Fortune speak, Xiao Mo smiled faintly, his expression exceptionally calm. "Your Grace, Goddess, you shouldn't be discussing such matters with a mere weakling like me, a mere low-grade divine being!"
"There are not a few powerful deities among the Gods of Faith and the Primordial Gods. You should go talk to them!"
"Hehehe..."
Xiao Mo's words made the Goddess of Fortune laugh, and her laughter was indeed pleasant, like the melodious chime of wind bells.
After laughing, the Goddess of Fortune shook her head and said, "Your Majesty the King, you are far too modest!"
"To be frank, the sudden descent of the territorial forces this time is destined to make them the protagonists in the future divine wars. And you are the most powerful lord among all territorial forces. Any decision you make could potentially influence the future of the Primordial Continent!" Dafen.com
"Isn't that so?"
As the Goddess of Fortune spoke, she turned her head to look at Xiao Mo, her eyes filled with a hint of amusement.
Xiao Mo returned her smile, his expression unchanged, and asked, "Then, Your Grace Goddess, please speak freely. I wish to know what you want to discuss?"
"Doesn't His Majesty the King wish to know what the future of the continent will look like?"
The Goddess of Fortune's tone suddenly became a bit serious, clearly discussing the matter earnestly with Xiao Mo.
Hearing this, Xiao Mo's heart stirred slightly. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Can Your Grace Goddess see through the future?"
"I can't exactly 'see through it,' I can only catch a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg..."
The Goddess of Fortune raised her hand to brush aside a strand of hair hanging from her forehead, and a brilliant light gradually flowed within her eyes.
Seeing this, Xiao Mo was slightly startled. As he looked into the Goddess of Fortune's eyes, he felt as if he were falling into a galaxy.
Most importantly, Xiao Mo felt that the gaze of the Goddess of Fortune seemed to be able to penetrate all things: past, present, and future.
A moment later, the light in the Goddess of Fortune's eyes dissipated, and her gaze returned to calmness.
Then, she sighed softly and said, "Although it's just the tip of the iceberg, I saw the Primordial Continent become a land forsaken by gods, all beings in a state of depravity, and widespread suffering everywhere..."
"Even I feel a great unease just by seeing such a scene!"
As she spoke, the Goddess of Fortune raised her beautiful eyes and looked directly into Xiao Mo's deep gaze.
"Your Majesty the King, this is likely a great calamity. Not only we deities, but perhaps all territorial forces will be unable to escape such a fate, won't they?"
These words truly shocked Xiao Mo.
A great calamity?
Was she sure she wasn't tricking him?
"Your Grace Goddess, aren't you being a bit too alarmist? If there were truly such a massive calamity, wouldn't there be any signs?"
Xiao Mo expressed great doubt towards the Goddess of Fortune's words.
After all, the Primordial Continent was not like it was in ancient times.
Now, this continent had Gods of Faith, Primordial Gods, and the lords of territorial forces who would ascend to godhood one after another in the near future.
With such immense power, even another large-scale invasion by extraterrestrial evil gods wouldn't be able to reduce the Primordial Continent to a god-forsaken land!
The Goddess of Fortune could clearly see through Xiao Mo's thoughts and knew exactly what he was thinking.
"This invasion of evil gods is different from the last one. The ferocity this time will be far more terrifying than in ancient times!"
"The extraterrestrial evil gods will come prepared. I even believe that if they invade the Primordial Continent again, the Evil God Emperor himself will lead the expedition. The scale of it is self-evident!"
"Even so, what does it matter?"
Xiao Mo paused for a moment after hearing this, then smiled playfully, "It's not like we'll just retreat without a fight, right?"
"To have all the myriad races and beings of the Primordial Continent, all deities, and all our territorial forces withdraw from this world, do you think that's possible?"
"I know it's impossible!"
The Goddess of Fortune shook her head and said, "Almost all the Gods of Faith and Primordial Gods are completely preoccupied with the Supreme God Lord's throne."
"Even if they were to know about the future calamity now, they wouldn't withdraw! And it's the same for you from outside territorial forces. You still don't fully grasp how terrifying the extraterrestrial evil gods are!"
As she spoke, the Goddess of Fortune looked at Xiao Mo. A hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. "In your eyes, even evil gods from other worlds are just monsters for you to 'grind experience,' as you call it?"
Hearing this, Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, a smile involuntarily curling at the corner of his mouth.
Indeed.
In the eyes of these lords, no matter what they were, even if they were truly evil gods from another world, they were just monsters to be hunted for experience!
The only difference might be that these monsters were world boss level, with greater power.
But no matter how powerful, they could still be killed, gaining experience and dropping awesome equipment.
Would these lords fear those extraterrestrial evil gods?
Setting aside their strength, probably not a single lord would be afraid.
On the contrary, some top lords might even look forward to the descent of the extraterrestrial evil god army.
Because only then could they hunt more powerful monsters and improve their strength faster.
Of course, this was in the later stages; currently, the lords hadn't fully developed.
And once they had developed, Xiao Mo felt that, given the disposition of these lords, even if the extraterrestrial demons didn't actively invade, the territorial forces would find a way to break through the dimensional barriers and attack the extraterrestrial demons on their home turf!
After all, it was like a game, and games had to be played.
Once cleared, one always had to think about the next level.
Even if there were no more levels, many people would find ways to create them.
However, Xiao Mo was puzzled. What was the point of the Goddess of Fortune telling him all this?
"Your Grace Goddess, what is your purpose in discussing this with me?"
The Goddess of Fortune smiled and said, "It's just a chat between friends, nothing else."
Xiao Mo was even more confused. He looked into the Goddess of Fortune's eyes and asked, "When did we become friends?"
The Goddess of Fortune's gaze trembled slightly. "In the future, we will be friends who fight side by side!"
"Friends who fight side by side?"
Xiao Mo was stunned, but he suddenly felt that the Goddess of Fortune's tone was a bit strange when she said that.
He looked at the Goddess of Fortune suspiciously, but her gaze had returned to normal and had fallen upon Xian'er.
"Sister Xian'er, I feel truly honored to meet you, the future great God Lord, here!"
Hearing the Goddess of Fortune's words, Xian'er's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
Although she didn't understand why she said that, she still nodded politely.
Xiao Mo also realized that the Goddess of Fortune was changing the subject, so he stopped dwelling on it.
Instead, he asked directly, "Since you can see the future, I'd like to know when the calamity you mentioned will descend?"
Hearing this, the Goddess of Fortune extended a slender finger without a second thought.
Xiao Mo was a little confused: "A day? A month? Or a year?"
The Goddess of Fortune withdrew her finger and said softly, "One cycle, which can also be considered a year. When the next alignment of five stars becomes an alignment of seven stars, and the Tranquil Night transforms into the Night of Slaughter, that will be the day the extraterrestrial evil gods descend!"
The Tranquil Night would undergo a mutation?
This indeed caught Xiao Mo off guard.
However, at this moment, a flash of inspiration crossed Xiao Mo's mind, as if he remembered something.
"Are you the Goddess of Fortune? What are your duties and the law-divine power you control?"
Hearing Xiao Mo's question, the Goddess of Fortune laughed again.
"Goblins and dwarves both call me the Goddess of Fortune, but more races call me the Goddess of Destiny. You can call me Ira!"
