The number of questions only grows. What sort of catastrophes could these worlds have faced that would result in them being pruned, as a gardened would trim a real tree? Was that the threat that faced the universes each of us originated from?

Certainly, it does not take a genius intellect to come to that conclusion. How does such a place come to exist? How does a position such as the one held by this Wynn come about?

I suppose there will be time for further questions, though I cannot deny my impatience. The least that our host could have done was explain a little more.

Hmph.

---In any case.

"As Qingque has already mentioned, I am the Master Diviner of the Xianzhou Luofu's Divination Commission. It is my duty to sift through the disparate threads of the future and select the choices that will guide the Xianzhou to the most beneficial outcome," I explain, scanning the others as I speak, "The great sea of stars would be impossibly treacherous without the divination commission's guidance."

I cross my arms over my chest.

"It is just as well that whatever method of placing a universe in stasis is in play, as I cannot leave the Luofu under normal circumstances."

It is difficult to wrap my mind around the idea of freezing an entire universe, a feat that not even an Aeon has been said to accomplish. If it had not been carried out...

My disappearance would assuredly have resulted in chaos. It is not blind pride that informs my conclusion, though I certainly see no reason not to be proud of my efforts, but simple logic.

---Are those girls still flirting with one another? Are they shameless?! Even while introducing themselves---!

... Ah, there's no need to get distracted. Nor is their any need to focus on the insects crawling over the shinobi's body, no matter how unpleasant it may seem. How can one stand the legs?

"While the presence of the Matrix of Prescience is required for more insightful and long-term divination," I continue, in part to explain my capabilities and in part to distract myself, "I am still able to peer into the future in order to guide our strategies in the coming tasks. After all, a branch must bend rather then break in face of the oncoming wind."
