"Lady Lumina, may I ask if you wish to enter the Seat of Divine Foresight?"
At the gate of the Seat of Divine Foresight in the Exalting Sanctum on the Xianzhou Luofu, Lumina arrived after parting ways with Xueyi and the others.
"Yes, please inform them of my arrival," Lumina nodded, smiling at the Cloud Knight.
"Understood. Please wait here for a moment, Lady Lumina."
As the Cloud Knight turned to leave, Lumina remained calm, patiently waiting.
[ You're actually going to the Seat of Divine Foresight... ] the System thought, surprised. [ I thought you were just teasing Xueyi earlier. ]
"Why wouldn't I? When have I ever lied?" Lumina chuckled at the System's remark.
[Didn't you just lie to me about being interested in the Ambrosial Arbor...?]
"Are you even a person?" Lumina retorted sharply.
[...]
"If you're not a person, then have I truly lied to anyone?"
Lumina firmly grasped control of the foolish System, a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Lumina had never lied to people—because those she deceived were never people to begin with!
As for that Ambrosial Arbor? Lumina wouldn't even use it to cushion her seat, let alone find it interesting.
"Lady Lumina, please come in."
Shortly after, the Cloud Knight returned, bowing respectfully and gesturing for her to enter.
"Thank you for your trouble," Lumina replied with a polite nod and a smile. She stepped aboard the Starskiff and headed toward the Seat of Divine Foresight.
Upon arriving, Lumina followed the Cloud Knight's instructions and entered the main hall.
The moment she stepped inside, her eyes fell upon the imposing figure of the Divine Foresight General himself!
"Miss Lumina, what brings you here?" Jing Yuan, who had been sitting in his general's chair with his eyes closed in contemplation, opened his eyes upon sensing her arrival. He greeted her with a warm smile. "Did you encounter any trouble during your travels on Luofu?"
His amiable demeanor gave no hint that he knew of Lumina's recent actions on the Xianzhou Luofu.
Lumina chuckled lightly and cut straight to the point. "General Jing Yuan, while on Luofu... I discovered traces of a Lord Ravager..."

"Tingyun is definitely up to something..."
After using his "Superpower" to level up quickly and complete the storyline at the Divination Commission, Little Bear felt that Tingyun was highly suspicious.
["So, while Tingyun and Lumina were away, they were plotting Luofu's downfall all along? (Laughing through tears)"]
["Quick, call Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan! Arrest that suspicious fox spirit immediately! Take her to my room—I want to interrogate her personally! (Enraged)"]
["Are you sure your interrogation will be proper?"]
"Alright, enough of that," Little Bear said, frowning at the lewd comments in the comment section. He quickly changed the subject. "Maybe Tingyun simply craves immortality."
Little Bear guided his game character to the Artisanship Commission, following the quest markers. After navigating through a few stages, he arrived at the arena where the Creation Furnace stood.
"Creation Furnace... what a cool name!" Little Bear mused before the game transitioned into a cutscene.
Beneath the furnace, a flower slowly bloomed, and the Abundance Xuanlu emerged—an ethereal deer radiating the essence of Abundance.
"Deer hunting time! Deer hunting time!"
As Little Bear finished speaking, the screen shattered, plunging him into battle.
"Truly a Divine Miracle... creating life with such ease. This power is extraordinary," Tingyun murmured, her eyes gleaming with admiration as she gazed upon the Abundance Xuanlu that had materialized before her.
"This Tingyun," Little Bear mused, considering her words, "is either working with Lumina to destroy the Xianzhou, or Jing Yuan sent her to test our stance on Long-Life."
[I bet Tingyun's strength is nothing special. We could capture her and use her to blackmail Lumina into submission. Then we could do whatever we want with her and enjoy her defeat CG! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]
[Not just nothing special—if I punched Tingyun, she'd probably cry for days! (😂)]
[Lumina is too kind-hearted. This plan might actually work! But... Mihoyo would never go through with it. We're supposed to be the good guys—we can't resort to villainous tactics!]
[Hey, who gets to decide what's "good" or "evil" anyway?]
Little Bear ignored the barrage of comments. He was currently controlling Seele, unleashing a ferocious assault on the Abundance deer before him.
"No way... this thing's cheating!"
Little Bear stared in disbelief as the Abundant Ebon Deer instantly healed for 100,000 HP.
My super headbutt only dealt 10,000 damage, and you're healing 100,000? What's the point of even fighting?!
[If a deer is this tough, I can't even imagine how strong Lumina is. (Lying down)]
[You know, Lumina is also called "Little Deer"—she's basically the Abundant Ebon Deer's little sister.]
[As a History Fictionologist, I hereby declare this to be the truth...]
[You're right, but that's just Lumina for you. I forgot the beginning and the end, but the bottom line is she's ridiculously overpowered!]
After witnessing the Abundant Ebon Deer's absurd regenerative abilities, the Astral Express Crew temporarily retreated.
"If the deer heals 100,000 HP, Lumina must recover a million in one go..." Little Bear muttered in disbelief.
[I think you're underestimating her. Lumina heals 100 million in a single gulp! (Hides face and laughs)]
[What if Lumina doesn't even take damage at all?]
[Or maybe she heals a billion HP, is immune to all damage and debuffs, and her skills nuke the entire party with insane damage!]
[Exactly! That's just how Lumina is. I forgot the beginning and the end, but the gist is... she's unbelievably overpowered!]
[Lumina doujinshi: 20 yuan each.]
"Little Abundant Ebon Deer, I'm here for my revenge!"
After destroying the deer's regenerative core, Little Bear charged back into the battlefield.
He glared at the Abundant Ebon Deer and unleashed two devastating headbutts, instantly annihilating it.
"Lumina! Come out here!"
Seeing the once-imposing deer reduced to nothing, Little Bear's arrogance swelled. He swaggered and bellowed for Lumina to appear so he could give her a beating.
Naturally, Lumina would indulge such an insolent request.
As the Abundant Ebon Deer fell in battle, the game screen faded to black, transitioning into a cinematic cutscene...
Defeated by the Astral Express Crew, the Abundant Ebon Deer's tree-branch limbs withered, and it staggered backward, on the verge of disintegration.
But in the next moment, a vibrant green light enveloped it completely.
When the glow subsided, the Abundant Ebon Deer stood whole once more.
"Hmm... it seems this Abundant Ebon Deer isn't a true embodiment of Abundance..."
A gentle voice, like a soothing balm for the soul, drifted through the air.
Under normal circumstances, such a flawless voice would have left everyone awestruck.
But now, its arrival signaled the emergence of a new enemy...
A chill ran through the crew as they frantically turned toward the voice's source.
A pure white figure materialized before them.
And there, the screen froze...
