"Okay, that's enough." 

The man sitting cross-legged announced, his tone was more serious than before. The lady snorted but didn't say anything to retort. The man looked at Raven with an amicable smile and said:

"Welcome to the Strom Dweller's Peak 9th, I am the current holder of the title 'Chronos' and the Sect Master of the Ancient Elysium Sect - Lucas Kavodin." The Sect Master introduced himself. He then gestured at the people around him saying: "You've probably met Grand Elder Gin - the current 'Zeus' and Lady Emma - the current 'Hera'."

"This unreasonable woman beside me is my wife, Alwina. She is one of the three Sisters of Fate, the 'Oracle'. Due to her abilities, there are only a few things that could escape her eyes, that's why she figured you out. Don't worry, none of us here is after your inheritance. As for this man, he's Fallon - the current 'Prometheus'."

"Greetings!" Raven saluted once more. His heart was currently shaken due to the sheer incredulity of this line-up. 

He already met Elder Gin in the past as he was the one who gave him the Ancestor Sealer's Rosary and tasked him to go to the 89th floor and free the Heavenly Elk. And although he never met Hera before, he was aware of her presence and the fact that she is the wife of Elder Gin. 

As for the Sect Master, his wife and Elder Fallon, this is the first time he met them. It is a widely known thing that the Sect Master doesn't show himself within the sect very often. Not many people had seen him before yet none ever doubted his existence. As for his wife, being one of the Sisters of Fate, it now made sense as to why she knew about the Ancestral Divine Crown. 

Who would've guessed that he'd met the 'Oracle' from the sisters? No wonder she knew!

The Sister's of Fate is an extremely mysterious existence, even within the ranks of the sect. Not many information are recorded about them yet those who claimed that they've met them, were all in awe of their powers.

According to the public information, each of the sisters had a unique title, they are the: Oracle, Wanderer, and Weaver. 

There is one person who made a hypothesis of what the Sisters of Fates stands for based on their unique titles. According to the records, the Oracle is the one that inherited the Omniscient Eyes, allowing them to peer through even the most hidden secrets and to some extent, view the fate of a person without facing any backlash. 

The Wanderer is the one who walks through the Planes of Reality (Past, Present, Future, Parallel Worlds, Alternate Dimensions etc.) and watches over it like an observer. 

The Weaver is the one that could interact with the Threads of Fate, weaving them according to how it should be. In a sense, the Weaver herself is the one responsible for determining the fate of someone. 

It was also hypothesized that the Sisters of Fates are genuine Immortals. They exist through the multiple planes of reality and if one wants to kill them, one has to have the power to determine where they are first and kill them at the same time, which is a monumental task so no one even bothers. Additionally, should the Sisters of Fates work together, then it is quite possible to change one's fate altogether. 

This hypothesis garnered a lot of attention once it was published. Some people supported the ide while others don't. The sect itself neither confirmed nor denied this claims so until today, it remains a mystery.

Raven was similarly wasn't convinced, that's until he met the Oracle. At this moment, even if he wants to deny it, he simply can't because...

He could sense her through the Planes of Reality thanks to his Spacetime Laws. At it wasn't just him...the Sect Master was there too.

Raven mostly kept his ideas to himself. He didn't even bother wondering if this could even work or not since he's in front of the Oracle and frankly at this point, he didn't care. There was nowhere to hide anyway. 

"I wonder why Sect Master needs me?" He asked. 

"We'll discuss that later, now's not yet the time." The Sect Master smiled. "Come, sit here. Have some tea." 

Raven couldn't decline this invitation now can he? 

He excused himself and walked towards the Sect Master. He sat on his knees in front of him. Alwina calmly poured tea and placed in front of him, her actions were gentle and carried incomparable elegance. 

The Sect Master raised his cup and gestured at Raven to do the same. Raven lifted his cup and drank the tea at the same time as the Sect Master. 

The tea wasn't anything special. To mortals, this tea might fetch a very high price but to Cultivators like him, it wasn't very impressive. Yet even if that was the case, Raven didn't think anything about it. His body visibly relax once he felt the warmth of the tea. 

It didn't matter to him whether it was a normal tea or not. What's important was the atmosphere and the intent behind the gesture. 

"I heard you were from the Lower Planes." The Sect Master stated. 

Raven nodded and said: "Indeed. I was born in the Grand Ancestral Plane." 

"Oh!" The Sect Master's face was surprised, Raven also saw the others looking at him. He wondered if he said anything wrong. 

"Hah! Who would've thought." The Grand Elder chuckled as he continued resting on his reclining chair. 

"The Grand Ancestral Plane huh." The Sect Master mumbled. 

"The birthplace of Humanity. No wonder Geezer left his inheritance there." Alwina interjected on the side. 

"Madam knows about Master Geezer?" Raven couldn't help but to ask.

"Hm, Master huh...I see." Alwina looked at him with a strange gaze before saying: "Well, not on a personal level. Geezer is how he referred to himself, is it not?" 

"It is." Raven nodded. He was a bit dejected as he thought that Alwina could reveal some details about his Master to him, as it turns out she weren't really acquainted to him. 

"Even if I did know a thing or two about him, it isn't my story to tell. Once you step on the same stage as us, you'll eventually learn about him so don't be anxious." Alwina added as if she could read his mind. 

Raven simply nodded and didn't pursue the matter. 

"Did your Master told you where he is?" The Sect Master asked.

"No." Raven shook his head and said: "He only told me that he's currently trapped somewhere dangerous even for someone like him. He wasn't confident about getting out of there anytime soon. I want to save him but I'm not strong enough to do so just yet."

"Be glad that he's still alive." Alwina interjected, causing the Sect Master to glare at her. 

Raven didn't retort anything since there's nothing he could anyway. Even if he asked them where Geezer was and even if they're willing to tell him, so long as he's weak, he'll remain helpless to save him. Which is why he didn't even bother asking. 

"Hey brat!" Grand Elder Gin suddenly called out. Raven looked at him and he asked: "How's your progress about the task I gave you." 

"I'm halfway done with the rosary, Grand Elder." Raven replied. 

It wasn't just the Grand Elder, the rest also looked at him with surprise coloring their faces. 

"That was quick!" The Grand Elder chuckled. "It hasn't even been a year since I gave you that."

"On surface it hasn't." Raven replied. "I already spent years trying to comprehend this within the Crown Space."

"Ah, right." The Grand Elder chuckled. "I forgot about that. Well, what matters is that you're progress remains fast. It wouldn't take us long before we could finally get 'her' out of there."

'By 'her' he must be referring to the Heavenly Elk' Raven thought inwardly. 

"Oh yeah! I heard you've picked-up the Brush of Wisdom?" The Grand Elder asked. Raven nodded so he said: "You sure do have a pair huh, Brat? Quick, show us something cool!"

Raven smiled wryly at the Grand Elder's request. However, he can't really decline so he brought out the Brush of Wisdom and showed them something 'cool'.

Waving the brush four times in quick succession, the Four Divine Beast appeared around him, causing the watchers to be impressed. 

They moved in a very life-like manner, even an expert at Illusion or Mirage Laws wouldn't be able to tell if they were real or not. 

Next, Raven drew a circle and that caused a dome to surround them. Inside that dome, everyone felt as if they were transported somewhere else. 

They were no longer at the Storm Dweller's Peak but within a vast expanse of space surrounded with multiple constellations who were releasing a milky silver brilliance. 

Everyone was entranced by this sight, but more importantly they were shocked. 

"How mysterious." Elder Fallon finally said something after quite sometime. 

"Hoho, this is good!" The Grand Elder chuckled. "It's quite challenging to discern whether this is all real or not. I've gotta say, you're ain't bad brat."

"True." Alwina added as she marveled at the scenery before her. "It's as if the Brush of Wisdom was destined to be his."
