角色故事•四（解鎖條件：角色等級80）
如是百年悄然逝去，戰事再起，卜官符玄領命演算不休。豐饒民大軍三度成形，突襲方壺仙舟。玉闕、羅浮同方壺仙舟相去不遠，馳援責無旁貸。卜算結果顯示，若傾全力迎擊，任何參戰的仙舟軍隊都將迎來慘烈的敗局——但堅持守勢，將會有轉圜的餘地。
但卦象並未顯示轉圜之機在何處。符玄反覆推演，再三占算，窮觀陣輸出的結果依舊毫無變化。
「沒有人會選擇失敗。」卜者能做到的，都在這裏了。符玄將利害剖陳紙上，把卜算結果上呈神策府。毫無意外，帝弓天將合議的結果，侵逼方壺的豐饒聯軍兵力龐大，絕不能單純採取守勢。羅浮與玉闕雲騎軍必須迎戰，為曜青部隊爭取趕來的時機。
那一日符玄隔着投影沙盤，見證了聯盟援軍的潰敗。步離人不僅帶來了遮天蔽日的艦隊與器獸，更將古老傳說中的活體星宿「計都蜃樓」召來。這邪物墜向方壺，即將為其上所有的生命帶來滅頂之災，再現蒼城仙舟覆滅的慘劇。而人們只能眼睜睜見證它的降臨。
卜者能做到的，真的只有如此嗎？在焦灼與憤怒中，符玄心中升起一個極其大膽的念頭。「我要見景元將軍！」
在面見將軍後，少女說出了她的想法。以雲騎眼下的力量，想要取勝已不可能。唯一的轉機，是令帝弓垂跡示現。
出乎她預料的，在說出這堪稱褻瀆和荒謬的念頭後，眼前這位略顯疲憊的將軍並未露出任何嗤笑的神情，而是點了點頭。「你想怎麼做？」
「玉闕仙舟擁有聯盟中觀星的第一重器，瞰雲鏡。這座裝置不僅能用來觀察，它也可以向外發射訊息…我的意思是，用天艟將瞰雲鏡運往方壺，向帝弓光矢最後的所在處求救。爭分奪秒的話，在那顆星星落下前，一切還有轉圜的餘地。」
「你很清楚…帝弓降世臨凡的唯一徵兆和可能帶來的後果，對吧？」
「是的。作為方案的提出者，我願意親臨戰場，執行此事。」少女神色嚴肅，她十分明白自己提出的想法有多驚世駭俗。
「多謝你的建言。只是，危機之刻應當由六御勠力赴難。何況，你並無權限操作那器物。若事情因此失控，我作為進言呈辭者，會擔負全部的後果，希望符小姐不必多慮。」
唯有玉闕太卜本人。
……
「這就是你尋求『眼界』的初衷？我讀到了你的那些夢……」
少女沒有睜開雙眼，卻能看見周遭的世界由煙霧凝成實體，所有可能性褪去，只剩下清晰無誤的唯一選擇。
「那些不是夢，那是我的過去，塑造了我的一切。」
「而他說的沒錯，其實命運從來只有一條道路。」
Character Story: Part IV
• Unlocked at Character Level 80
Centuries passed thus, and the flames of war descended again. Diviner Fu Xuan calculated ceaselessly at her job. The grand armies of the Denizens of Abundance formed for the third time and launched a surprise attack on the Xianzhou Fanghu. The Yuque and the Luofu were close to the Fanghu, and it was their duty to give assistance. The divination revealed that all Xianzhou armies will meet a devastating defeat if they choose to face the assault head-on — however, should they keep up a defense, then there will be a chance to change the tides of battle.
What a pity that the hexagram did not reveal how this chance will come about! Fu Xuan calculated and divined over and over again, yet the results given by the Matrix of Prescience never changed.
"No one will choose defeat." This was the limit of a diviner's capacities. Fu Xuan outlined the pros and cons in writing and submitted the divination results to the Seat of Divine Foresight. However, as she expected, the outcome of the meeting between the Arbiter-Generals concluded that they must not take on a defensive position, not when such overwhelming numbers of the Abundance Axis were assaulting the Fanghu. The Cloud Knights of the Luofu and the Yuque must rise to face the enemy, buying time before the Yaoqing's army can arrive.
On that day, Fu Xuan bore witness through the Projection Sandpit to the Alliance's army being decimated. Not only did the borisin bring fleets and mechabeasts numerous enough to block out the sky, they even summoned the incarnosphere Ketu Mirage from ancient legends. This evil gravitated toward the Fanghu, hellbent on bringing annihilation to all lives onboard, recreating the tragedy of the fall of the Xianzhou Cangcheng. And the only thing people could do was watch as it neared.
Was this truly the limit of a diviner's capacities!? A bold idea surfaced in Fu Xuan's mind as she drowned in anxiety and anger. "I must see General Jing Yuan!"
The girl spoke her thoughts when brought face-to-face with the general. It was no longer possible to obtain victory with the forces available to the Cloud Knights. The only chance of victory lies in making the Reignbow manifest themselves.
She was not expecting the tired-looking man before her to simply nod after hearing her absurd and borderline blasphemous idea. The general did not even show any hints of ridicule. "How would you want to do it?"
"The Xianzhou Yuque holds the Cloudpeer Telescope, the ultimate astronomical observation device in the Alliance. Not only can it scry into the distance, it can also be used to send out information... I plan to ship the Cloudpeer Telescope to the Fanghu using a Navis Astriger, and send out an SOS signal to the last observed location of the Reignbow's Lux Arrow. If we hurry, we still have a chance to turn everything around before that living planet falls."
"I trust that you are... well aware of the singular sign of the Reignbow's descent onto the physical plane and its consequences, correct?"
"Yes. As the person who voiced this plan, I am willing to be on the front lines and execute it." The girl's expression was solemn. She was keenly aware of how unorthodox her idea was.
"I thank you for your words, but the Six Charioteers should work together to combat such a great crisis. Moreover, you do not have the permission to manipulate that device. Should this plan go awry, I will take all responsibility as the one who made the suggestion. Do not trouble yourself over this, Miss Fu."
As Fu Xuan watched the general's retreating figure, she suddenly realized what he meant by "the Six Charioteers should work together" — the only person who has the permission to use the Cloudpeer Telescope and can send out a signal in the format of the Reignbow's decree...
...was none other than the Yuque's Master Diviner.
... "Is this why you seek "The Eye"? I saw your dreams..."
The girl did not open her eyes, yet she could already see the world around her condense into solid form from nebulous mist, see all possibilities fade and leave behind the solitary, absolute, and faultless "choice."
"Those are not dreams. They are my past. They made me who I am." "And he was right all this time. There is only ever one path in destiny."
