角色故事•三（解鎖條件：角色等級60）
在玉闕太卜司中，她度過了自己一生中最快樂的求學歲月。關於宿命與自由意志，關於陣法演算與人擇權衡…在一切與卜筮之道相關的問題上，少女記得自己與師傅總是爭辯不休。這並非唇槍舌劍的相爭，而是亦師亦友的較勁。儘管在大部分的問題上，少女與師傅最終達成了一致的看法，但兩人卻有一處無論如何繞不開去的死結——
自向博識尊處求取演算經籍以來，玉闕仙舟太卜司傾數百年全力加以解讀實現，營建了聯盟中誇稱第一的占卜陣法。玉闕的卜者們皆以此為傲。但在符玄看來，這不過是將仙舟人的未來鎖死在了陣法劃定的道路上。
當人們相信陣法所示必然成真；選擇便成了徒有其名的擺設。冥冥之中，卜者成了陣法的囚徒，吉時出行、凶時居停、每日所宜所忌、做什麼不做什麼，一應遵照佔卜所示。
「難不成陣法告訴我明日死期將至，我就得自行了斷不成？如此一來，卜與不卜，到底有什麼分別？」
「分別在於，我們知道自己行走在昭昭天命之上。這便是開啟太卜司制度的玄曜祖師所追求的至上道路。」
「在陣法協助下，卜者們只需要虔信相信，順應啟示，做出一個又一個抉擇——即便它們匪夷所思、無比艱難。這一切終將讓仙舟抵達它孜孜以求的偉業——剷除壽瘟禍祖，另世間無復壽瘟之苦。」男人的神色如同蒙受開示的覺悟者，坦然平靜。他看向符玄，「就像我在得知你的命數後，將你收為弟子。」
不是為了我的天資？也不是為了家族人脈？只是為了實現某個預言？這…這太荒謬了！惱怒湧上符玄心頭，令她一時間訥訥無言。
「你知道嗎，在問卜『十方光映法界』，解讀卦象後，我確信我的命運將斷絕在你的手中。但我依然將你收為弟子，等候你取代我，成為玉闕仙舟的太卜。因為，這一切都是命中註定。」
命中註定？他的命運，將會斷絕在我手裏？
說得眼下仙舟好像仍在三劫時代，說得好像她是個渴望登上太卜之位，打算不擇手段弒師的逆徒。這個混蛋師傅！
「而我…我絕不會讓它成真！」
少女尊敬師傅身為卜者的一切：心智、技藝乃至為人。唯獨無法接受他身為窺探命運的卜者，卻自甘墮入宿命論的淵藪，並將此視為理所當然。
Character Story: Part III
• Unlocked at Character Level 60
She spent the happiest time in her life studying in the Yuque's Divination Commission. She learned about predestination versus free-will, about matrix calculations versus human choices... The girl recalled she was always arguing with her teacher on every issue regarding divination and fortune-telling. Those were not aggressive confrontations with sharp words, but heated discussions between peers. And yet, though the two agreed on many topics, there was one issue they could not come to a consensus —
Nous had granted divine volumes outlining the matrix calculations to the Xianzhou centuries ago. The Xianzhou Yuque's Divination Commission had pored over them to interpret and manifest the wisdom within, ultimately constructing the best divination matrix in the entire Alliance. Thought this is a point of pride for Yuque's diviners, Fu Xuan felt it was nothing short of culling the future possibilities of the Xianzhou people within the narrow path set out by the matrix.
When people believe that the predictions of the matrix will always come to pass, then "choice" became an empty concept only for show. The diviners have unwillingly become prisoners of the matrix. They head to work when the hour is fortuitous, and stay home with the hour is ominous. What they do, what they avoid doing — everything was in accordance with the divination results.
"If the matrix tells me that I will die tomorrow, does that mean I should just hurry up and end myself? At that point, what is the difference between performing a divination and not performing one?"
"The difference is that we know we walk on the ordained path set by the heavens. That is the supreme path sought by Grandmaster Xuan Yao, who initiated the Divination Commission system."
"All the diviner has to do is to faithfully believe and obediently follow the guidance of the matrix, and make one choice after another in that way — even though those choices may be ludicrous, incomprehensible, or difficult. All such efforts will ultimately lead the Xianzhou to the great work that it has been seeking throughout its existence — that of eradicating the Plagues Author and rid the world of the agony of Abundance." The man's expression was as placid and calm as an enlightened disciple who had received divine revelation. He looked at Fu Xuan and continued, "just like how I chose to take you in as my student after knowing about your predetermined future."
It wasn't for my talents? And it wasn't for my well-connected family? It was just to fulfill some prediction? This... this was absurd! Rage took over Fu Xuan, and she was at a loss for words.
"Did I ever tell you that after I consulted the Deca-Light Reflection Barrier and interpreted the hexagram, I now firmly believe that my life will end in your hands? However, I still took you in as my student. I'm waiting for you to take over my position and become the Xianzhou Yuque's master diviner, because it has all been predetermined."
Predetermined? His life will end in my hands?
He was talking as if the Xianzhou was still in the Three Sufferings Era! As if she was a treacherous disciple who craved the seat of the master diviner so much, that she would even kill her teacher for it! Her teacher was a scoundrel!
"And I... I will never let that prediction come to pass!"
The girl admired everything about her master as a diviner — his intelligence, skills, and integrity. However, she could not accept how he willingly sank into the blinding abyss of fatalism and regarded it as an acceptable way of life, despite being a diviner who could peek into destiny.
Therefore, Fu Xuan ran away from the Xianzhou Yuque despite her family's dissuasion and the hurdles she had to cross. She ran away like a self-exiled escapee, plunging into the Luofu's Divination Commission with its more unrestricted culture and devoted herself to calculations. Not only did she want to part from the Xianzhou Yuque, she also wanted to prove with her own hands that her teacher's prediction was nothing but his own ludicrous delusions.
