"Lou Renhuang, you should go and find the Pool of Divine Transformation first."

"It's not convenient to delay any longer."

Lu Cang said to Luo Jiutian.

Luo Jiutian nodded slightly: "Then I'll be going now. See you another time."

"Um."

Luo Jiutian exerted a slight force and then disappeared.

With its balanced divine position, it can barely maintain a relatively stable pseudo-god power in the illusionary realm. As long as other pseudo-gods do not appear, there is nothing in this world that can do anything to it.

"Canmeng."

There's not much to say about Lu Cang and Can Meng.

If we absolutely have to have a dialogue, it should be with Yug.

Canmeng could only be considered a believer after all; the difference in their levels was too great.

It wasn't that Lu Cang looked down on it.

Even when you talk to it, it can't provide any information or make any useful promises.

"I am here."

Being stared at by Lu Cang was like being gazed at by an ancient beast.

It looked as if half of his body had been eaten; just seeing him filled one with inexplicable despair.

Lu Cang shook his head and said, "Perhaps your master wants to see me."

"But please tell it that I don't really want to see it right now."

After Lu Cang finished speaking, he turned around and left.

On the other side of Canmeng, it's Bailu's next step is to merge with the Dao.

The introduction to the Dao is quite difficult. Matters involving quasi-gods like Ansu and Kumironi are not something that Bai Lu can easily interfere with.

It's not that Bai Lu is holding us back.

However you look at it, sending a demigod to Ansu's ascension site to steal its ascension ritual materials is utterly absurd.

Let alone Bai Lu, even Lu Cang himself might not be able to do it without intelligence or an inside man.

"Mouse, I'll take you back."

"Take me back? What will you do after that?"

Lu Cang replied, "After this, I will not travel with you."

Rat Thief: "Then these magical artifacts also have physical constitutions?"

Lu Cang: "I will arrange it in a way that everyone can accept, don't worry."

Seeing that Lu Cang had said this, the rat thief remained silent.

This guy named Luo Heng is always very reliable when it comes to making arrangements; at least so far, no one can find any loopholes in his methods.

The rat thief asked, "But where do you plan to go next?"

Luo Heng: "This... is a secret."

Laceybea: "Can't I come along?"

Lu Cang turned to look at Lacey Belle: "You want to come with me?"

When asked this, Lacey's eyes darted around, and her tone became inexplicably nervous: "What, what are you talking about... I just think it would be interesting to go on an adventure with you. Besides, both artifacts have been transferred to you. If no one is watching you, who knows if you will run away with the artifacts?"

"We can travel together for a while, but it may only be a part of the journey."

Lacey: "What are you going to do? Why are you being so mysterious?"

"I already said it was a secret," Lu Cang replied with a smile, not annoyed at all.

"Speaking of which, that Bai Lu also has white hair like me. You're not a white-haired person, are you?"

"Shh! Shh! Lacey Beya!" Rat Thief Nan made a shushing gesture from the side.

Although Luo Heng has a good temper, even he might get angry if you tell the truth like that!

Lu Cang's face twitched: "No, I don't have any special feelings about white hair."

"Oh? Really?"

Lacey's tone softened: "That's quite a shame."

"To be honest, I didn't gain anything from this operation with you guys; in fact, I lost money."

Of Lacey's three summoned creatures, one was directly killed by Luo Jiutian's sword.

They even cut you so badly you can't revive.

Moreover, the subsequent prayer from the True God and the request from the Lord of the Spiritual Dimension both caused Laceybea to suffer enormous losses.

However, this consumption can be recovered.

The crimson land of immortality not only grants Lacebea immortality, but also exceptionally powerful regenerative abilities.

I have to say...

Summoner is definitely a class that only whales can play.

You also need to have some connections, to be a "connected person," so that when you pray to some powerful figure, those powerful figures will take care of you out of consideration for the connection.

It doesn't require paying a particularly high price.

Otherwise, if other people play summoning, summoning a powerful demon or a powerful necromancer... they would have to pay the price of their soul or life.

The act of invoking the help of a powerful being is essentially a transaction or contract.

If others value what you offer as a sacrifice, they might help you out if they're even slightly willing; if they don't, then let them fend for themselves.

This kind of invitation can sometimes give rise to the identity of a regular customer.

Some summons even give a token amount the first time, and the summoner has to make another sacrifice when needed, just like a mercenary.

Lacey Bea's summons came at the cost of saying hello to me and your father.

However, it's embarrassing for someone who's out in the world to constantly call on their parents or similar figures to help them fight, so Laceybea basically doesn't use such summons.

Moreover, it's not without its costs.

Others may not charge an extra price, but the cost itself still exists.

The more powerful the being summoned, the greater the cost.

Lu Cang gave a wry smile: "I'm sorry."

"What's the use of apologizing?"

Lacey Belle scoffed, "Why don't you and I form a contract?"

"I will summon you whenever I need your help in the future."

Rat Thief: "Hey, Lacey Beya, are you going to keep Luo Heng as a pet? That's way too audacious..."

Lacey: "Shut up, you dead rat."

“There’s more than one type of contract. I want to establish a transfer contract, not something like taking it as a pet.”

"However, if he wants to, it's not impossible."

Lacey Belle squinted one eye at Lu Cang.

Lu Cang stroked his chin: "To transmit the contract..."

"Alright."

The Power Transfer Contract, also known as the Power Transfer Contract, allows you to request the borrowing of a contractor's power through a summoning spell.

Lu Cang actually agreed, and he agreed very readily.

"If you need anything in the future, just call me, but I may not be able to solve everything."

"I didn't expect you to solve everything."

Lu Cang and Lacey Belle pressed their palms together, and the two formed a contract.

The abyss is indeed a dangerous place.

However, after returning from the forbidden zone, although the increase was not obvious, Rat Thief's strength did indeed increase, and this increase was significant compared to others.

Nowadays, even if the rats are difficult to thieves, they won't encounter too much danger when operating in the abyss.

It didn't take long for the three of them to return to the upper realm and back to Qingxi City.

And this return.

What I saw was a clear blue sky.

"this!"

Previously, the sky was blood red, with the blood-red sun overhead, and everything underwent a strange change.

Now the sky is clear and sunny again.

It's quite unsettling.

"It seems the battle is over."

Lu Cang gazed at the sky.

As a result, things changed.

The one who wins in the end is not the winner from the previous life.

Otherwise, the world would still be shrouded in red.

"Is it because of my influence?"

"Or someone else."

Lu Cang didn't think too much about it. In fact, the two people vying for power weren't really related to him.

There are many gods in this world, but not every god has a conflict with you.

"Rat, I'll leave you here. I'll keep the two artifacts for now. As compensation, I'll have someone send you an eight-star skill book later. Also, I'll keep the Bow of the Devils and the Armor of the Lone Wolf for you."

The bow of the betrayer and the armor of the loner are both complete sets of armor wrapped in white cloth found beside the tomb of Ansu.

Around Ansu's tomb was a complete set of the [Traitor's Set].

A complete set of near-divine artifacts can indeed rival weaker true divine artifacts.

And the complete set of true artifacts.

Their strength is immeasurable.

Perhaps just in terms of equipment, a false god could possess combat power surpassing that of an ordinary true god.

"Um."

"Luo Heng, I have never trusted anyone in this illusionary world."

"You are the person I feel I can trust the most."

"You may be very strong, but you still need to be careful."

"Even Lu Cang perished in the Illusionary Realm. I don't know Lu Cang very well, but at least I know about the countless glorious deeds he created."

"In my opinion, you are no weaker than him, but you still need to be very careful."

"Although I don't understand the qualifications of a true god, those things are too far away from me, but in my opinion, you are someone who has the potential to become a true god. I'm waiting to cling to your coattails."

"Please make sure nothing happens to you. I know I'm not very strong and can't help you much, but you can call me if you need anything."

"It doesn't have to be tomb raiding."

Lu Cang felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing the genuine emotions expressed by the rat thief.

"Yes, I'll be careful."

"Next time I'll take you to dig an even better grave."

The rat-thief chuckled, "Haha, there can be an even better tomb. Alright, I'll wait for you to call me."

Lu Cang patted the mouse on the shoulder.

In my past life, I didn't have much interaction with Rat Thief, but in this life, I feel like I really know Rat Thief.

It's true that every life brings different encounters.

"Lassiere, let's go."

Lacey Belle nodded, and waved goodbye to Rat Dao Nan: "Rat, stop thinking about your lousy tomb all day long. There are other ways to improve your strength besides tomb raiding."

"Once your strength increases, you won't be able to go to any tomb in the world you want."

"I'm the strongest in the Illusionary Realm, that's all I have to say."

Whoosh!

Lacey Beya and Lu Cang disappeared from the spot.

The rat could only watch helplessly as the two disappeared, shrugging his shoulders in frustration.

Looking back on these past few days of thrilling journey.

It really made his life as a rat quite eventful.

-----------------

Ansu Mausoleum

"here……"

"It is also Ansu's grave."

Lacey Bell looked disgusted: "Do you have some special feelings for Ansu? Why are you digging up other people's graves all the time?"

"If I could, I wouldn't want to either," Lu Cang said with a wry smile.

The two passed through the barriers and entered the main burial chamber.

During this time, the attacking vengeful spirits could not even get close to Lu Cang and Lacey Beya's bodies before they completely dissipated.

Lu Cang's strength is now far greater than when he first came here.

Not long after.

The two then arrived at the main burial chamber.

"What, are you going to kill Ansu again?"

"No."

Lu Cang walked to the coffin at the very center. Inside the huge black coffin was an exquisite crystal coffin.

What was sealed inside the crystal coffin was not Anzu.

Instead, she was a petite little girl with soft, long silver hair.

Her shattered body has been reassembled, and it even exudes a faint vitality.

"she is?"

Upon seeing this woman, Lacey frowned slightly.

Lu Cang answered softly, "Neherkato."

"The God of Time plays the role of God."

Lu Cang moved the lid of the crystal coffin, and at the same time, a silver, twisted substance appeared in his hand, flowing with countless fragments of past and future scenes.

[The Throne of Time]

He pressed it against Nehercato's heart.
