Chapter 1167
Two weeks later, the ship that Ji-Eun was ‘piloting’ suddenly dropped out of subspace. Or rose into normal space? She wasn’t qualified to comment on interstellar travel.
They were just outside any war zone, she thought. She didn’t completely know, but that fit with what she’d heard. However, she had hoped to go further. That the ship would last longer.
At least it hadn’t dropped them out in between systems. She wasn’t exactly looking forward to seeing if they could last years in this ship. Especially because she knew they couldn’t. It was already packed full- over full, perhaps.
Something drew her towards a particular planet. She probably would have chosen it as their destination regardless as the most inhabitable world in the system, but she could feel something drawing her towards it. It wasn’t terrifying, though. Instead, it was the same force that had brought all the karmic luck she’d experienced to stumble across the ship to begin with. And to meet up with the village.
She had learned that most of the people at the village hadn’t actually been members. Hwan- the old man who was the village chief- had been surprised when people began to show up without any forewarning, but he’d been happy to accept them regardless.
“Somehow,” he said. “We knew you were coming. Or that someone was coming.”
Ji-Eun nodded. “Somehow, I knew I was supposed to go to you.” It was a risk, taking people she didn’t know with her. But she might not have been able to manage without their help- and their supplies. If they hadn’t packed up all the food they had, she would be close to starvation. A Spirit Building cultivator could only go so far. “It’s strange, isn’t it? I feel like I should be afraid of being guided by an unknown source but…”
“It feels like we came to an agreement,” Village Chief Hwan commented. “Without even saying anything, I took guidance.”
“It was exactly that, I think,” Ji-Eun admitted.
