clatter--

Almost simultaneously, Nehercato appeared beside Lu Cang.

What's going on?

She looked at Lu Cang.

Of all those present, only she knew that this was different from Lu Cang's plan.

This nightmare flower shouldn't have died.

"I'll try to revive it."

Neherkato said to Lu Cang.

Lu Cang grabbed Neherkato's hand.

"No."

"Let's not revive it."

Neherkato: "But... its power."

With the Nightmare Flower as an ally, there are so many things we can do.

With the help of its dream-like quasi-god power, Lu Cang can use the Mind Transformation and All-Knowing Cards infinitely.

This is equivalent to allowing Lu Cang to indirectly possess the divine position of [Knowledge].

Neherkato was very unwilling.

She glanced at the Nightmare Flower one last time, a glance that looked towards the past.

But this glance caused Nehercato's pupils to shrink slightly.

"No."

"I was wrong."

"I cannot bring it back to life."

The Nightmare Flower was also in a state of death in the past.

It was completely wiped out.

Nehercateau could not reverse time and bring him back to life.

Their conversations were conducted in private.

Outsiders had no idea what had happened.

Lu Cang: "Don't be too discouraged, at least the road ahead has been cleared."

"We can go and get something from the Chaos Nest."

"Izparut should be fine, right?"

Neherkato: "Hmm... it should be fine, or rather, it's having a lot of fun."

Lu Cang: "I see."

It definitely has Izparut's style.

After Nehercato arrived, Lacebea gradually recovered from her shock.

In fact, Neherkato arrived shortly after Lu Cang woke up.

Or perhaps, Nehercato was always nearby.

Suppressing her shock, Lacey asked calmly, "Luo Heng, now... do we have no enemies left?"

How do we get there?

The distance from the Nightmare Flower to the very center of the Chaos Nest is still very far.

The area protected by the Nightmare Flower ahead is a very large area.

"Teleport there."

Neherkato: "Then this quasi-god's corpse..."

Lu Cang: "As agreed, this belongs to Luluwei."

Luluwei's condition for coming to help was that if they killed a quasi-god, she would have to give him the corpse.

This is not in the plan.

But it has happened now.

Neherkato had no objections: "Okay, sure."

Lu Cang used Izparut's magic circle to bring in other teleportation arrays from outside the Chaos Nest.

The magic circle spread out beneath everyone's feet.

Buzz—

With a flash of light, they arrived beside the corpse of the Nightmare Flower.

All of them were of human-like size.

It appears incredibly small when you get close to the Nightmare Flower.

Even a single thorn on a branch of the Nightmare Flower is as large as a planet.

Even the remains, when viewed up close, inspire fear.

Kleia shrank her head.

If something like this happens again, even if you call your father, he won't come.

It's better to go to jail.

It's more comfortable to be in jail.

If Izparut goes out to fight a Quasi-God again, I'll be nothing but a dog.

If given another chance, Claya would rather have her sentence doubled than try to get a reduced one.

"Has the interpretation of the Chaos Stele been completed?"

"Well, thankfully the deciphering is complete."

"And it also deduced some other things."

"And... I received a special mark of chaos."

If the All-Knowing Card had been used from the beginning, if the Nightmare Flower had asked something it shouldn't have from the start.

I'm afraid I'll explode.

"What does it say?"

"It records events that occurred before the chaos."

"The essence of the world returning to zero."

"There's also the matter of the Inner God and Transcendence."

"It also taught me the ancient Chaos language."

"If I encounter the ancient Chaos Language again, I should be able to decipher it on my own without relying on [Mind Interpretation]."

Lu Cang shared intelligence with Neherkato.

At the same time, it is also changing its own structure.

Deciphering the ancient Chaos Stele is not merely about obtaining information about returning to zero.

Lu Cang's own strength has also improved somewhat.

Lu Cang inscribed the ritual's array patterns within his body, just as Bai Lu had inscribed the ritual within his body during the destruction of the origin.

[Imprint: Born from Chaos—Deconstructing everything it comes into contact with into chaos; the more complex and stable the structure, the harder it is to transform into chaos.]

Because this place itself is filled with chaotic mist.

So no one noticed that wherever Lu Cang walked, the space would be directly distorted into a chaotic and hazy space.

"Quasi-godlike divine power... Dream Godhood."

Lu Cang collected the precipitated substance.

"Strange Dream Core".

"The Mist of a Long Dream".

"Fragrant petals that enter dreams."

...

The Nightmare Flower is a demonic creature. When it dies, it releases many useful items. As a quasi-god level demon, everything it drops is a treasure.

Luluwei's request was for a corpse.

It's not everything that fell after its death.

This is a very clear agreement.

"The harvest was pretty good."

"If we can cultivate a false god of the Dream God position, perhaps we can help it advance to the level of a quasi-god."

"That way we can use dreams again."

Nehercato: "Is it too late?"

"We missed this opportunity."

Lu Cang smiled helplessly: "Although I am a perfect god, I can't do everything perfectly."

"You already know that everything will eventually return to zero."

"Shall we continue?"

Lu Cang: "Yes, we definitely have to continue... there might be other ways."

"Just because it says no doesn't mean it really can't."

Lu Cang looked at the All-Knowing Card in his backpack again.

actually……

In the real world, you should also be able to use the All-Knowing Card to ask.

But if you were to ask...

There are also many other prerequisite issues to address.

At least Lu Cang needed to be sure that asking this question meant he was alright.

It won't die suddenly like the Nightmare Flower.

If you ask it that way, then there are two questions.

It's also impossible to use a sentence like: "If my question won't lead to any consequences, please tell me: how to prevent things from inevitably going to nothing."

The All-Knowing Card, regardless of preconditions, focuses solely on the problem.

It is not AI.

Moreover, Lu Cang couldn't guarantee that he would be able to get all the answers to the two questions.

In the future, there may be even more questions that need to be answered.

"It's just a pity I didn't have time to ask."

Multi-segment teleportation space.

Lu Cang and the others were nearing the end of the Chaos Nest.

The atmosphere here is so dense and chaotic that even moving forward becomes difficult; it feels like being squeezed into a mass of flesh, trying to move inward.

The only person who didn't find the action difficult was Lu Cang.

Lu Cang felt a strong connection to this chaos.

It itself has completely merged into chaos.

Before Laceybea lay an empty altar.

On the altar was a magnificent golden-red gem, its bright color standing out starkly against the chaos.

"This... is what we've been looking for."

I have never seen this thing before, nor have I read any information about it.

But the moment I saw it, I blurted out its name.

"The fifth alexandrite."

Lu Cang's senses swept over it.

Then I released a few summoned creatures to try and touch it.

There were no abnormalities when these summoned creatures were touched.

"Neherkato".

“Yes, I understand.” Neherkato nodded.

If Lu Cang is in danger, she will pull him back.

Lu Cang reached out and touched the Fifth Alchemist.

Snap—

The moment he touched it, Lu Cang felt as if he were seeing an empty universe.

The vast and boundless universe is devoid of any life.

Everything was completely silent.

But in the blink of an eye.

Lu Cang's consciousness returned.

Lu Cang naturally did not believe that what he had just seen was just his own distraction.

Lu Cang looked at the fifth alchemical stone in his hand.

The scene just now... was it the universe after it was reduced to zero and became lifeless?

Snap—

In another flash of thought, Lu Cang seemed to see an extremely intense light!

Illuminate the entire universe!

An extremely terrifying aura spread to every corner of the universe, and everything, whether planets or life, was dissolved along with this light!

Along with it, the universe at its center was also destroyed.

Other planes adjacent to it.

The image flashed through Lu Cang's mind for only a moment before disappearing.

That is...

A god-level attack.

Not the history of this world...

After interpreting the first prologue of Zero.

Lu Cang already had a premonition about the several flashing images produced by the [Fifth Alternate Stone].

The images you see may be memories from before the last reset.

"We've received the items."

"Let's retreat first. It's too dangerous here. It's better not to stay too long."

"We'll study this further after we return to Peacock City."
