First Meeting
I am Fu Xuan, head of the Divination Commission. This is our first encounter... or perhaps I should say—our twenty-second first encounter... Through the omniscia, I have met you for the first time, many times...
Greeting
Honored guest, would you like to know your fortune? No need to act surprised—your reason for coming has already been foretold by the hexagram.
Parting
You're leaving? Good timing, I too have other affairs to attend to.
About Self: Diviner
People say that nothing escapes my omniscia, but that isn't true. No divination can be entirely accurate. I am a diviner, not a prophet who speaks for the divine.
Chat: Third Eye
The eye on my forehead is a treasure from beyond the heavens bestowed on me by Nous. With it, I am able to see changes in the external world and explore many possibilities. However, as Nous made clear: "Knowledge comes at the price of suffering." The omniscia is, in some ways, an eternal punishment.
Chat: Matrix of Prescience
It is through this Matrix that the diviners view the past and know the future. The Luofu, drifting on the sea of stars, could not be without it for even a day. But... sometimes I wonder if it limits our future possibilities and seals our path ahead?
Chat: Work
Early this morning, I performed a divination reading. There were undulations between the water and fire trigrams, with multiple fluctuating variables... The reading said that it would be best to not conduct official business or work overtime today. Hmph, how tiresome.
Hobbies
After a long night's work, I like to drink a cup of the Dragon Lady's specially blended herbal tea. I add sugar, more sugar, and extra sugar! Just one cup and I feel like a new person! It helps recharge all the energy I spend through my calculations.
Annoyances
I am educated and well-read, and so sometimes I can't help but quote the classics. Still, there are those that tell me I'm speaking "Fu Xuan." Hmph...
Something to Share
One of the Divination Commission's unwritten rules is the "three taboos"—which includes "no unjust divination." So, if you want me to divine the winning lottery numbers, future market conditions, or the like, forgive me for declining to offer my services.
Knowledge 1
Although the Alliance followed the Reignbow Arbiter's order to hunt down the Plagues Author... every Xianzhou ship still has Aeonspawn known as "Traces of the Abundance." At the heart of the many delves of the Luofu, there is the Ambrosial Arbor that gives us longevity.
Knowledge 2
The Yuque was the birthplace of the Divination Commission, where the stargazers and diviners gathered to observe the stars and plot the path ahead for the Alliance. I have seen the lithogenic ore of the Fallow Earth there—it is the source of our Jade Abacus technology.
Knowledge 3
It is said that a living flame slumbers in the engine of the Zhuming. It is a creature the Xianzhou regarded as a great enemy in the old days—the Flint Emperor, who was also called the Primordial Flame. The craftsmen of the Zhuming used every means available to imprison it in the furnace and used its power to forge various divine weapons.
About: Jing Yuan
Hmph, as it stands, Jing Yuan has promised to nominate me to the generalship on 122 separate occasions. For 121 of them, I made my case and he replied with a nonchalant "mm-hmm." The one other time, I spoke at length on my reasoning and watched him gradually fall asleep...
