Gazing Technique” and “2nd Time” (Subscribe Requested)_2

Translator: 549690339

Every time Milton Cheney attempted to explore himself with the Star Gazing Technique, he would feel a stabbing pain in his eyes.

He couldn’t even see through himself.

This wasn’t normal.

A Star-Picking Master wasn’t like those fortune tellers in the novels of his previous life, who prioritized looking at others over looking at oneself.

Star-Picking Masters were derived from sorcerers, who practiced the pure Star Gazing Technique.

They attached importance to knowing oneself before knowing others.

In other words, to embark on the path of a Star-Picking Master, one must first see their true self!

If unable to comprehend oneself, naturally, they can’t cultivate the Star Gazing Technique to become a Star-Picking Master, not to mention a sorcerer.

Milton Cheney began to understand why his level of a Second Grade Star-Picking Master didn’t directly integrate into his body but transformed into a blue gem embedding into his Spiritual Sea.

Because in reality, he couldn’t proceed on this path.

He couldn’t see through himself, which meant that if he were to start cultivating on the Star-Picking Master’s path now, he would be held back at the first step.

However, there was still a conjecture in Milton’s heart that he needed to verify.

Milton Cheney rose to his feet and walked into the room, feeding the fish using his Spiritual Power – a routine task of his.

The next moment, after stepping out of the fish-feeding room, Milton Cheney vanished into thin air.

He was floating in the air outside a palace.

His body was almost invisible, a blue light flickering in his eyes.

Beneath his line of sight, in the courtyard of the palace, a man was sitting cross-legged, practicing the Meditation Technique.

Niles, the master of a Level 1 Wizard Organization on the Siskellin Continent.

While cultivating the Meditation Technique, Niles was naturally unable to detect Milton Cheney in the air.

[Second Grade Skill•Star Observing]!

The next moment, in Milton’s eyes, the previously ordinary world seemed to have taken on a different appearance.

Niles, who was cultivating the Meditation Technique, was surrounded by green light in Milton’s vision.

When a killing intent towards Niles emerged in his heart, the green light in his vision gradually turned black.

Milton Cheney stopped releasing the Star Gazing Technique.

Because his conjecture had been confirmed.

Just as he guessed.

The fact that he couldn’t see through himself had nothing to do with the Star Gazing Technique. It wasn’t that the Star Gazing Technique was affected by some rules in the Wizard Realm.

On the contrary, the Star Gazing Technique was unaffected.

The problem lay with him.

Because when he used the Star Gazing Technique on others, he could perceive their ‘potential.’

He alone couldn’t perceive his own!

Milton Cheney moved, his figure disappeared in mid-air, and when he reappeared, he was in the courtyard of the estate.

Although his conjecture was confirmed that he indeed couldn’t truly cultivate the Star-Picking Master’s path in reality, Milton Cheney didn’t feel any disappointment.

After all, he was already a Second Grade Star-Picking Master, just in a different form, his strength hadn’t disappeared.

Even if he could cultivate the Star-Picking Master’s path in reality, Milton Cheney would still consider it seriously.

After all, it would take up a lot of his time. Now, his focus should be on the White Wizard Path.

Moreover, he wasn’t now in the Star-Picking Realm. Under his control, there were no Star-Picking Academies, no millions of students. It was unrealistic for him alone to continue pushing the upper limit of the Star-Picking Master.

Not to mention this was only his first Reincarnation Simulation.

In the future, he might encounter many different extraordinary paths of cultivation.

So, fortune favors the lucky, misfortune is fated.

Perhaps later, he might have the chance to return to the Star-Picking Realm. However, by that time, he wondered if the Star-Picking Realm would still remember him.

The next moment, when Milton Cheney was preparing to return to the room to feed the fish some spiritual power, the Book of Truth in the Spiritual Sea slightly vibrated.

The vibration of the Book of Truth in the Spiritual Sea was the first time it happened in reality.

But Milton Cheney was not unfamiliar with its meaning.

It meant someone was sending him a message.

Milton Cheney frowned.

A flash of doubt crossed his mind.

He was sure that in the True Body Simulation, no one had sent him a message when he was completing the Guardian Sea’s Task on the Siskellin Continent. The next moment, the Book of Truth levitated in front of him, opened up.

The page turned and stopped on a particular page.

[Ian: Youngster, abandon your mission, leave the Continent where you are completing the task, and rush back to the Guardian Sea ASAP!] Seeing this sentence, Milton Cheney was taken aback.

It was quite clear from this message that he was in danger.

But he didn’t encounter any danger when he was in the True Body Simulation at Siskellin Continent to complete his mission.

What occurred that changed the future?

His actions were almost entirely consistent with those in the True Body Simulation except for returning to Corner Sea Continent and Kasen Subcontinent and initiating a Reincarnation Simulation.

Only these actions differed from the True Body Simulation.

Everything else remained the same.

Even the woman’s arrival at Siskellin Continent a few months ago coincided perfectly with the timeline in the True Body Simulation.

Logically, the future laid right before Milton Cheney unchanged.

It was highly unlikely that a slight difference in reality could influence the future. That was far-fetched.

So, there were only two possible explanations.

Firstly, his True Body Simulation could simply be one of the multiple possible futures, similar to the overlapping of numerous parallel universes.

While the reality he experienced was a different future.

But if that was the case, how could it suddenly change during this True Body Simulation when the previous ones had all confirmed that the future was just as he experienced in the simulation?

Furthermore, at this moment, Milton Cheney couldn’t verify anything because he had run out of True Body Simulation attempts.

The other possibility was that his actions indeed changed the course of the future.

Returning to Corner Sea Continent?

Visiting Kasen Subcontinent again?

Or was it the Reincarnation Simulation?

“Reincarnation Simulation!”

Ideas rushed into Milton Cheney’s mind, converging in an instant.

Milton Cheney muttered.

It was simple to associate with the Reincarnation Simulation. The text simulation four months ago indicated everything was normal on Siskellin Continent.

The only action that differed during that time was his initiation of the Reincarnation Simulation.

“Or could it be due to the Star-Picking Master’s Path?”

Similarly, in the text simulation four months ago, he wasn’t a Star-Picking Master.

If his actions indeed influenced the course of the future, the problem would lie with the Reincarnation Simulation or the Star-Picking Master’s Path.

But Milton Cheney couldn’t be certain.

Because both the Reincarnation Simulation and the Star-Picking Master were products of the Simulator.

Could the existence of the Simulator influence the course of the future? That seemed unrealistic too.

In Milton Cheney’s understanding, the Simulator transcended the Wizard Realm.

So, he couldn’t figure out what influenced the course of the future at this moment.

In the next instant, Milton Cheney’s spiritual power surged, preparing to probe the Book of Truth carefully on what incident befell Ian.

However, the moment his spiritual power emerged from the Spiritual Sea, his expression darkened suddenly.

“So soon?”

It was worth noting that he just received Ian’s message through the Book of Truth. Merely a few seconds had elapsed.

The next moment, a purple token appeared in Milton Cheney’s hand which he crushed into dust.

His figure vanished on spot, engulfed by a purple light.

Almost instantaneously after he disappeared,

A black sphere plummeted into the courtyard where Milton Cheney resided on the Siskellin Continent.

The black sphere expanded swiftly, reducing everything to smithereens.

“This is the second time.”

Hidden within the Void, Milton Cheney bore a somber look.

The first time he accomplished the mission in reality, he was unjustifiable blamed and then attacked by the Gospel Masters Order.

Despite finally accomplishing the task, in reality, his mission was still a failure.

This was the second time he completed a task in reality.

Again, an unexpected incident occurred.

Somebody attacked him out of thin air, and Milton Cheney still had no clue what had happened.

The crucial part was during these two missions, he managed to complete them without hindrance in the simulation, but faced obstructions continuously in reality.

“I rely too heavily on the simulator.”

Within the Void, Milton Cheney muttered to himself.

After this incident, even if his actions were simulated, he must exercise more caution in reality.

The Simulator merely paved a path for him—it did not mandate him to follow it rigidly.

How he chooses to tread depends primarily on Milton Cheney himself.
