Prophecy, a prediction or assertion about what is about to happen in the future.
Diviners often conceal the conclusions they derive from inspiration and calculation, revealing them only to a few key figures in an attempt to minimally interfere with destiny while maximizing their benefits.
In the past week, Zheng Qing heard two prophecies.
The Wandering Fishman Tribe Priest in the Quankela Fair told him that the threat comes from the depths of the starry sky, where all things wither in evil, causing the world to shudder.
And Mister informed Zheng Qing in a dream that all things would happen in the second May.
"The second May," Xiao Xiao calculated thoughtfully, nodding, "This year has an intercalary month; the beginning of June is indeed the second May."
