Chapter 569: Chronos, Oracle, and Prometheus (1/2)

”Okay, that's enough.”

The man sitting cross-legged announced, his tone was more serious than before. The lady snorted but didn't say anything to retort. The man looked at Raven with an amicable smile and said:

”Welcome to the Strom Dweller's Peak 9th, I am the current holder of the title 'Chronos' and the Sect Master of the Ancient Elysium Sect - Lucas Kavodin.” The Sect Master introduced himself. He then gestured at the people around him saying: ”You've probably met Grand Elder Gin - the current 'Zeus' and Lady Emma - the current 'Hera'.”

”This unreasonable woman beside me is my wife, Alwina. She is one of the three Sisters of Fate, the 'Oracle'. Due to her abilities, there are only a few things that could escape her eyes, that's why she figured you out. Don't worry, none of us here is after your inheritance. As for this man, he's Fallon - the current 'Prometheus'.”

”Greetings!” Raven saluted once more. His heart was currently shaken due to the sheer incredulity of this line-up.

He already met Elder Gin in the past as he was the one who gave him the Ancestor Sealer's Rosary and tasked him to go to the 89th floor and free the Heavenly Elk. And although he never met Hera before, he was aware of her presence and the fact that she is the wife of Elder Gin.

As for the Sect Master, his wife and Elder Fallon, this is the first time he met them. It is a widely known thing that the Sect Master doesn't show himself within the sect very often. Not many people had seen him before yet none ever doubted his existence. As for his wife, being one of the Sisters of Fate, it now made sense as to why she knew about the Ancestral Divine Crown.

Who would've guessed that he'd met the 'Oracle' from the sisters? No wonder she knew!

The Sister's of Fate is an extremely mysterious existence, even within the ranks of the sect. Not many information are recorded about them yet those who claimed that they've met them, were all in awe of their powers.

According to the public information, each of the sisters had a unique title, they are the: Oracle, Wanderer, and Weaver.

There is one person who made a hypothesis of what the Sisters of Fates stands for based on their unique titles. According to the records, the Oracle is the one that inherited the Omniscient Eyes, allowing them to peer through even the most hidden secrets and to some extent, view the fate of a person without facing any backlash.

The Wanderer is the one who walks through the Planes of Reality (Past, Present, Future, Parallel Worlds, Alternate Dimensions etc.) and watches over it like an observer.

The Weaver is the one that could interact with the Threads of Fate, weaving them according to how it should be. In a sense, the Weaver herself is the one responsible for determining the fate of someone.

It was also hypothesized that the Sisters of Fates are genuine Immortals. They exist through the multiple planes of reality and if one wants to kill them, one has to have the power to determine where they are first and kill them at the same time, which is a monumental task so no one even bothers. Additionally, should the Sisters of Fates work together, then it is quite possible to change one's fate altogether.

This hypothesis garnered a lot of attention once it was published. Some people supported the ide while others don't. The sect itself neither confirmed nor denied this claims so until today, it remains a mystery.

Raven was similarly wasn't convinced, that's until he met the Oracle. At this moment, even if he wants to deny it, he simply can't because...

He could sense her through the Planes of Reality thanks to his Spacetime Laws. At it wasn't just him...the Sect Master was there too.

Raven mostly kept his ideas to himself. He didn't even bother wondering if this could even work or not since he's in front of the Oracle and frankly at this point, he didn't care. There was nowhere to hide anyway.

”I wonder why Sect Master needs me?” He asked.

”We'll discuss that later, now's not yet the time.” The Sect Master smiled. ”Come, sit here. Have some tea.”

Raven couldn't decline this invitation now can he?

He excused himself and walked towards the Sect Master. He sat on his knees in front of him. Alwina calmly poured tea and placed in front of him, her actions were gentle and carried incomparable elegance.

The Sect Master raised his cup and gestured at Raven to do the same. Raven lifted his cup and drank the tea at the same time as the Sect Master.

The tea wasn't anything special. To mortals, this tea might fetch a very high price but to Cultivators like him, it wasn't very impressive. Yet even if that was the case, Raven didn't think anything about it. His body visibly relax once he felt the warmth of the tea.

It didn't matter to him whether it was a normal tea or not. What's important was the atmosphere and the intent behind the gesture.

”I heard you were from the Lower Planes.” The Sect Master stated.

Raven nodded and said: ”Indeed. I was born in the Grand Ancestral Plane.”

”Oh!” The Sect Master's face was surprised, Raven also saw the others looking at him. He wondered if he said anything wrong.

”Hah! Who would've thought.” The Grand Elder chuckled as he continued resting on his reclining chair.
