"I don't know..." Ashley shook her head. "But I can see other paths to ascend alone."
Ashley's red eyes stared at Su Yuan. "It's you."
"The first time I saw you with Sagittarius, I saw hope for escaping the Holy Temple in you. So I never made a move and let you go."
"As for what that hope was, I wasn't sure initially. But at this moment... I am certain."
Ashley looked around the Qingming Realm. "This Small World not only has Star Veins but these Star Veins are different from the usual ones. They seem to possess a kind of 'Nirvana' power."
"I predict that one can use it to break through to Radiant Moon, Burning Sun, and even beyond Burning Sun!"
Xu Fan and Shen Die were somewhat confused.
Although Su Yuan's Small World had an extremely high Star Power concentration, even slightly higher than ordinary Wolf Veins.
Other than that, the two also didn't feel any other significant differences.
But Su Yuan's eyes narrowed. Ashley's mention of the 'Nirvana' effect was precisely one of the Phoenix Vein's additional effects.
It could continually repair various hidden dangers within the human body, regain new life upon breakthrough, restore full state, heal all injuries, and eliminate or weaken most negative states!
Su Yuan stared at Ashley and asked, "Why should I trust you?"
Ashley pondered for a moment and then said, "Fire Meteor Thunder Heart, Mirror Lake Thunder Magnet, you're using them well, right?"
Su Yuan's eyes flickered. "So it was your arrangement..."
Back then, the materials 'Fire Bomb' and 'Water Bomb' needed for the Five Thunders Heavenly Gang Formation were obtained together from the ring of Capricorn, Blake.
At that time, Su Yuan thought it was too much of a coincidence to get the last two materials simultaneously.
Now that Ashley pointed it out, it seemed it was indeed her arrangement.
But that wasn't all. Ashley continued, "As for 'Time Reversal,' it should be even more useful, right?"
Hearing this, Su Yuan's pupils contracted.
Ashley raised her hand. The ring on it flashed. A star beast's corpse, sharp and six-legged, covered in mysterious runes, and resembling an ant in shape, fell to the ground.
Although it was just a corpse, the residual mysterious aura made Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong both react visibly.
It was the Power of Time!
At this moment, in Su Yuan's Star Sea, the [Time Reversal] Star Card flickered slightly, seemingly resonating with the corpse in front of him.
Without a doubt, the Star Core of Time Reversal came from this star beast's corpse!
Ashley said, "Those were my greetings to you, also for this day."
Fire Meteor Thunder Heart and Mirror Lake Thunder Magnet aside, the preciousness of [Time Reversal] was self-evident.
Not to mention, it also came with the head of a Capricorn...
In this way, Su Yuan believed Ashley to a great extent.
However, Su Yuan still had two questions...
"Just seeking a breakthrough shouldn't make you want to escape the Holy Temple."
"Although under control by Qiguang, technically it shouldn't matter to you, right?"
"Of course." Ashley nodded.
As if recalling something, a trace of sadness appeared in Ashley's eyes but was quickly suppressed.
Ashley said, "Besides the realm, I had predicted that even if I ascended to Burning Sun within the Holy Temple, my body seemed destined to be occupied by something afterward..."
"A container...?" Su Yuan pondered. This statement was hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
If that were the case, her desire to leave Qiguang and the Holy Temple was understandable.
Ashley, seeing the pondering look in Su Yuan's eyes, added, "My ability is Oracle, revealing destiny for others. I can't lie, or it will cause the prophecy powers to weaken or go out of control."
At this moment, Shen Die nodded. "Su Xing Lord, she's indeed not lying."
Shen Die's eyes were glowing with purple light, indicating that the True Word Sensing Technique was activated.
"Is that so...?" Su Yuan and Xu Fan began to contemplate.
A Twelve Palace Star Envoy defecting to Great Flame was not a small issue.
For the entire Great Flame, a mere Star Envoy was nothing significant.
But for Shining Star Level and Radiant Moon Level, Aries' prophetic ability was indeed extraordinary.
If not for her presence, this Tiger Vein battle's outcome would likely be different!
And such an ability, once grown, had boundless potential.
Su Yuan looked at Xu Fan and asked, "Star Lord Xu, what do you think?"
Xu Fan pondered for a moment, nodded, and said to Ashley, "If you want to defect to Great Flame, I will apply for you."
"No..." Ashley shook her head and looked at Su Yuan. "The one I want to pledge allegiance to is him."
Hearing this, Xu Fan raised an eyebrow.
Although Ashley had stated earlier that she was interested in Su Yuan's Qingming Realm.
Ashley was an elite Shining Star-level expert from the Imperial Empire. Joining Great Flame was one thing. Pledging allegiance to Su Yuan personally...
Su Yuan asked, "Do I have a compelling reason to accept you?"
Aries' prophetic ability was indeed terrifying and powerful.
Having such a person by his side, even if they could help him, was ultimately a risk.
Unless she could provide a reason that made tolerating this risk worthwhile.
Suddenly, Ashley stepped forward and walked directly toward Su Yuan.
