"Oh, right."
"If you go to see Roya later, could I also meet him?"
"I also want to catch up with this friend."
The white deer nodded.
If he's the brother's friend, it's not surprising that he knows Roya.
After Bai Lu opened the portal, everyone went directly into it.
"Wow, there's such a big space." Lacey Belle curiously scanned the entire guild territory.
I discovered that a single thought could not be seen to the end.
Guild territory has been expanding exponentially.
"But wouldn't it be a bit too empty?"
The guild stronghold was empty, with no one in sight.
He seemed somewhat lonely.
"This place... is the legendary God of Slaughter..." Rat Thief Nan was also somewhat surprised.
Lu Cang also pretended to be surprised.
"Oh, this place looks pretty good."
"I'm talking about Luo Heng..."
"Is this exit entrance only openable by her?"
"If she doesn't open the door, won't we be locked inside forever?"
Hearing the concerns of the rat thief, Lu Cang laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's written in the contract. If she keeps us locked up, she'll be breaking the contract."
"Besides, she had no reason to do that."
As Lu Cang said this, he took out a soft bed and lay down on it.
"you……"
This guy carries his bed with him everywhere he goes.
Moreover, it already possesses the power of a demigod.
Do I still need to sleep?
Unless in a state of extreme weakness and exhaustion, the demigods do not need to rest.
Moreover, even if you are tired, you can restore your energy through normal rest, even if you don't sleep.
It doesn't require entering a sleep state like ordinary people.
But now Lu Cang is lying in bed as if he has really fallen asleep.
[False Gods and Theocratic Authority - The Evolution of Dreams]
The Chaos Divine Authority granted Lu Cang two different, higher-level divine authorities.
On his way back, Lu Cang also happened to touch the owner of a dream god's position and borrowed its divine power.
[Chaos Imitation: Randomly acquires two divine authorities of a higher rank, or through contact, acquires a divine authority of a higher rank than one's current divine power from the contacted deity, and perfects it.]
The very fact that this chaotic imitation of divine authority already destined Lu Cang to be a level higher in strength.
The divine authority that grants the power of a false god when possessing the power of a demigod.
The divine authority to obtain the power of a quasi-god when possessing the power of a false god.
When one possesses the power of a quasi-god, one can obtain the divine authority of a true god.
...
Aside from the lack of high-level divine power suppression, Lu Cang was essentially skipping a level.
【Dream Evolution – Gaining Insights from Dreams】
This divine authority is different from ordinary deduction. Deduction is based on known information to predict the future, but this divine authority... is purely dreaming.
Absurd dreams are not necessarily logical.
But it can offer crucial insights.
In particular, some information that cannot be deduced at all requires guidance from dreams.
-----------------
In my sleep.
Lu Cang arrived at a huge, narrow road, a road that was suspended in the air, and Lu Cang took a step out.
The roadside was shrouded in clouds and fog, its features blurred.
In the distance, there were blurry clusters of light.
Lu Cang felt dizzy and confused, only knowing that he had to walk through this broken road to reach the distant ball of light.
Boom——
However, as they embarked on this path, a strong wind suddenly arose.
Lu Cang swayed unsteadily.
This narrow road, made of broken and fragile stones, is clearly not sturdy.
The pebbles beneath his feet were shaken by the strong wind, and a continuous stream of small stones fell down, making it difficult for Lu Cang to open his eyes.
They could only cover their faces with their hands and continue walking forward against the wind.
We walked on like this for a long time, not knowing how long it lasted.
Boom!
But suddenly, there was a loud crash.
The road ahead.
It suddenly broke off a large section.
The road is blocked.
Lu Cang looked behind him and found that the road behind him was also gradually collapsing. He was caught between the two collapses and had no choice.
But it was at this moment.
But this road extends out with emerald green light.
The spreading light intertwined into emerald green vines, which stretched forward and connected with the road further away.
Lu Cang was overjoyed.
Just as I was about to stride across the bridge made of vines.
Sudden!
A sharp pain shot through my brain.
Lu Cang stood on the vines, covering his head, his mind filled with soft, echoing sounds.
The fierce wind and excruciating pain caused Lu Cang to contort his posture on the vines.
One moment of carelessness.
He lost his footing and fell.
A strong feeling of weightlessness washed over him. He couldn't fly, and he tried to grab onto something, but he couldn't grasp anything.
Lu Cang turned his head and looked down. What was below?
It looked like a bright vortex.
It looks like we're going to fall.
Just as this thought flashed through Lu Cang's mind, a hand grabbed him from mid-air.
Lu Cang looked up at her face.
Her face was obscured; all that was known was that in the pale purple twilight, she was pulling herself up slowly.
Soon, with her help...
I returned to that difficult path.
The vines had disappeared, and there was no way back. But this time was different from before. Beside him was the unknown entity that had pulled him up.
The bridge, rebuilt from vines, broke again.
Lu Cang continued forward.
This time, however, a blurry, unseen figure could be seen in the distance.
This ghostly figure looks so familiar, so familiar...
It is perfect, yet chaotic...
Beside him were one blurry yet familiar face after another: Kumiloni, Tishi, Izparut, Obardes...
Lu Cang followed in the footsteps of the figure ahead.
Chasing...chasing.
But for some reason, the light before my eyes grew dimmer and dimmer.
Black hands gradually appeared beneath my feet.
These black hands went upward, ever upward, grabbing his ankles and trying to pull him down.
Lu Cang hadn't even had time to process any emotions.
Suddenly, the dream came to an abrupt end.
The dream only went this far.
Lu Cang woke up; the entire dream was very short.
"This dream."
Lu Cang tried to interpret the dream in his mind.
The person I am in my dream is probably not me...
The metaphor is likely a copy of himself, which Lu Cang will tentatively call Entimesis.
A broken bridge of vines.
It should symbolize the replication of Kumiloni's life.
The excruciating headache corresponds to Rona's psychological attack, and falling off the cliff means death...
The light below might represent reincarnation.
Grab your own hand...
Someone must have saved Entimemes.
He was rescued from the place where he was about to fall into reincarnation. After that, this person also acted with Entimemas. It seems that Entimemas was able to return thanks to the help of this mysterious person.
What it sees from the bridge should be itself.
Having received help from many true gods...
Finally, what were those countless black hands that reached out from underground?
Lu Cang analyzed it in his mind.
The hand of darkness...
Suddenly, a name that shouldn't have appeared in Lu Cang's mind popped into his head.
Naraku.
In the beginning of time, there was light, and where the light could not reach, there was darkness.
Through the power of creation, Zhuya and Naraku were born respectively.
The god of darkness who rules the abyss.
However, Naraku should no longer exist in the present world...
"Luo Shan".
"I have arrived."
"Didn't you say you wanted to see Roya? You can come out now."
Just as Lu Cang was in distress.
But then I heard Kuroyel's voice in my ear.
The white deer has arrived at Roa's palace.
"Okay, I understand."
Lu Cang sat up from the bed.
"How come you have a bed...?"
Bai Lu couldn't help but complain.
Speaking of which, my brother is the same; he always carries all sorts of strange things with him.
It's true that after my brother left, I can see his shadow everywhere.
Lu Cang stood up.
They left the guild's territory.
They came to stand before Roya.
Today, Roya is indeed unfathomable.
A bizarre divine position with quasi-godlike divine power.
He exuded an air of unfathomable mystery.
"You are the Luo Shan that Bai Lu was talking about."
Luo Ya looked at Lu Cang and saw through Lu Cang's true nature at a glance.
"you."
Luo Ya glanced at the white deer beside him.
He then switched to a different mode of communication, using his divine sense to communicate privately, saying, "Your divine position is truly extraordinary."
Lu Cang chuckled: "It's alright."
"I don't have much time left before I leave this era. After I help you get in, I should also leave."
Lu Cang: "Thank you so much."
Luo Ya: "Haha, you're welcome. This is something I owe someone."
Roya didn't put on any airs of a near-god.
"If we are destined to meet again in the future, we should meet again."
"By the way, Roya."
Lu Cang glanced at the white deer beside him.
He secretly messaged Roya in his mind: "Do you know someone named Cang?"
"Or perhaps Entimesis."
I heard Lu Cang mention these two names.
Luo Ya raised his head, pressing his chin as if deep in thought.
“Cang…”
"This name does sound somewhat familiar."
“Entimesis, I seem to have heard of it... I heard that when the strong people of this era reach the top of those towers that test aptitude, they will all encounter such an enemy.”
"However, I'm not very interested in demigods."
After all, Roya now possesses quasi-god-like divine power.
In this era where demigods are as common as weeds, Roya really didn't have any particular thoughts about these things.
“Azure”.
"It seems this name comes from a legend from a very, very long time ago..."
"Oh, I remember now."
"This seems to be part of Ansu's dark history. I heard that he encountered such a powerful person when he was young."
"That was one of the few times Ansu suffered a setback."
"That powerful figure's name seems to be Cang."
"But it could also just be a folk tale."
"After all, Ansu wouldn't bring up her own embarrassing moments, such as these ancient legends... you know about them."
Roya recalled it this way.
Legends of the world are always passed around with embellishments and exaggerations.
“Roya, I can help you with your ascension to true godhood.”
"Haha~"
Lorna scratched the back of her head.
"Really?"
In fact, Luo Ya could no longer see the road after walking this far.
Unlike other true gods.
Luo Ya is only somewhat talented, but his talent is not exceptionally outstanding.
Reaching the level of a quasi-god was almost Roja's limit.
Take another step forward...
It's as difficult as climbing to heaven.
The ascension of a true god, Ansu's Nine Revolutions Death Tomb, Lu Cang's Supreme Perfection plus Primordial Chaos, Kumironi's Ladder of Life...
These were all rituals that required a great deal of effort to complete.
But Roya...
I've never actually completed any particularly grand ceremonies.
If I had to say, it does have some connection to the topic of time.
However, being even remotely connected to someone doesn't guarantee a promotion.
To complete a ceremony, one must not only follow the content of the ceremony but also understand the corresponding ceremony setup.
Otherwise, even if Lu Cang completed all sixty-four extreme towers, he would only have defeated Entimes in an ordinary way.
This will not automatically complete the most sacred and perfect ritual.
"The ritual I am aware of..."
"It's called a strange journey."
"It resonates with your experience and may offer you a glimpse of hope for reaching the true God."
"This is my way of repaying you for your help."
Lu Cang only helped Luo Ya once.
It was to help Roya so that he could know when he would travel to the next timeline.
It can only be considered a small help.
Although it may seem like a small help, it is actually quite useful to Roya.
Especially when Roya knows he is about to be sent to the next timeline, he can go wild as much as he wants.
Moreover, as his strength grows, Roya can also slightly resist the curse and delay the time it takes to travel to the next timeline.
It allows it to soar freely.
Explore some extremely dangerous places, seize the treasure, and the moment danger strikes, immediately trigger the curse to escape to the next dimension.
However, danger is unlikely to chase after time and space to bite it.
This is also why his promotion was so smooth.
However, that one act of help was not enough to repay Roya.
Lu Cang took out a piece of gold paper from his backpack.
"I have written down the details of the ceremony here."
"You can verify it yourself later."
"But there's one more thing to be careful about... In this ceremony, you have a rival. If your rival advances before you, this path is blocked."
Luo Ya heard this.
His face fell slightly.
Are there still opponents?
"Where is the opponent? Who is it?"
Lu Cang shrugged and said, "In this era, your opponent hasn't been born yet."
"However, you two will likely meet when this ceremony comes to an end."
"If you need help, you can ask me for assistance. My name is Luo Heng."
Lu Cang explained it this way.
Luo Ya sighed helplessly, "Fine."
Lu Cang extended his hand to Luo Ya: "It's a pleasure to work with you."
Luo Ya grasped Lu Cang's hand.
"Haha, that's great!"
[Chaos Imitation - Bizarre Divine Authority: Impromptu - Several potentially useful items or one-time skill bottles will always appear around you. When you use skills or items that do not belong to you, these items gain random divine authority bonuses from other divine positions, but the level of these divine authority will not exceed the power of a pseudo-god.]
Through contact, Lu Cang obtained Luo Ya's bizarre divine position and authority.
This hierarchy of divine authority is that of a false god.
Both bizarre and chaotic theocracy contain the characteristic of randomness.
Chaos is more uncertain and is more random on its own basis.
The bizarre is more unconventional, with more random events occurring temporarily during battle.
The bizarre theocracy is all about an unexpected and strange twist.
Not to mention the enemy, even we ourselves don't know what the effect will be.
Therefore, the divine right of Roja.
It's quite suitable for me to use with Chaos Theory.
"Then, I'll leave it to you this time."
Lu Cang patted Luo Ya on the shoulder.
A demigod facing a god in this manner.
That's really something else.
"No problem, getting one person in is easy."
Lu Cang turned around and waved to Luo Ya.
They then returned to the portal opened by the white deer.
After the two finished talking, Bai Lu muttered to herself, "What were you two whispering about?"
This guy looks way too much like his older brother.
Those actions, behaviors... even the tone of voice.
They look so alike.
Lu Cang glanced behind him as he returned to the guild's base.
Giving Roya this reward was also to verify one of my conjectures...
This restricted area is too strange.
What Lu Cang wanted to verify was whether the impact he had on the restricted area would actually have an effect on the outside world.
-----------------
[Divine Kingdom]
He lost consciousness again.
He must be too tired.
A mortal's body, coupled with a spirit even weaker than that of a mortal, means that even without doing anything, let alone traversing the illusory realm, one will feel weary as time goes by.
I can't help but want to fall into a deep sleep.
When Lu Cang woke up again, he found himself in a country filled with pale purple smoke.
A more accurate description would be purplish-black.
"here it is……"
"This is my divine kingdom."
The purple twilight took on a real form, appearing in human form.
His pupils were purplish-black, like a spider web.
The elegant violet tulle dress accentuated her graceful figure; who knows if she was human or some other race?
Who knows what its gender is?
When one reaches the true God, one's form can be transformed into any form one desires.
It's just that it's now willing to present itself to Lu Cang in the form of a female human.
Seeing such a concrete divine kingdom, Lu Cang was certain that what stood before him was not a quasi-god whose divine kingdom was not yet complete, but a fully realized true god.
"Is it a true god?"
"What do you want me to do?"
Lu Cang asked directly.
“I don’t need you to do anything specifically for me. You can go back now if you want.”
"Just don't forget, I'm the one who rescued you."
"So, who exactly are you?"
The greater the divine power, the rarer it is.
He reached the realm of true gods.
You should know most of these powerful individuals.
However... Lu Cang had no recollection of the woman in front of him.
A purple, smoky divine realm.
It also has a faint fragrance.
"Seriously, they don't even recognize people anymore!"
"Are they really that unknown?"
Why do you all only remember the light?
"I don't remember the opposite of her."
Buzz—
Lu Cang felt his brain explode in an instant.
In an instant, it was as if I were staring directly into eternal darkness.
The purple color deepened.
Naraku lifted her face with the hand that was resting on her chin, a light and pleasant smile appearing on his lips.
His name was instantly and deeply imprinted on Lu Cang's soul.
"you……"
Lu Cang then realized that he had actually regained his divine power.
However, this is not the divine power of a perfect god.
Rather, it is the [Godhood of Darkness].
And in just a moment, he had already reached the demigod level.
"Shouldn't you already be dead?"
"Perhaps, perhaps everyone thinks that way, just like you."
Naraku laughed gleefully, “Darkness has been punished by light.”
"That's how it's written in official history."
"It's as if the sky was killed by Rona, that's how history is written."
That's the side of light.
"Darkness is the side that should be hidden, not the side that should be illuminated."
Lu Cang looked intently at Naraku's face.
How many things in this illusory world are still unknown to me?
Having reincarnated three times, there are still surprises every time. It's like playing a game four times and still discovering a huge Easter egg.
and……
Is this an Easter egg? This Easter egg seems a bit too big for our eyes.
"Are you a advocate of zeroing out, or a member of the resistance faction?"
Naraku shook his head and laughed, "Neither."
"I'm the kind of person who makes things more interesting."
"Whether it's starting from scratch or fighting back, it's simply an inevitable part of the world's development..."
"Ultimately, when faced with a complete wipeout, we all have at least some means of self-preservation."
"But now I think there's something that's going to be interesting."
"Now you are free to move around. I just brought you out. You can go wherever you want. I won't stop you."
Naraku's smile was eerie, even though she seemed like just a kind older sister.
But it gives people a creepy feeling.
Just staring at Him is like seeing endless darkness, being trapped in absolute darkness from which there is no escape.
The more you know Him.
The purple mist appeared even deeper and darker, making it seem as if one's feet were bound by darkness, unable to move.
"how……"
"You're too comfortable in my house and don't want to leave?"
Lu Cang: "Your divine kingdom."
"Oh~"
“I’d forgotten that you’re so weak you can’t even move around in my divine kingdom.”
Naraku snapped his fingers.
The darkness receded like the tide.
Only an empty, solid ground remained.
"The exit is right where your eyes can see. After leaving my divine kingdom, you will arrive at the abyss."
"But with your current strength..."
Lu Cang is now practically penniless.
There is only an empty position of the God of Darkness.
There is nothing else.
Talent, physique, skills, equipment, items, and all kinds of special abilities have been completely lost.
They are so weak that they only possess technical experience.
Such strength would allow him to return to the Illusionary Realm, especially to the Abyss.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he would be kicked to death by a passing stray dog.
The Abyss is not as friendly as the Upper Realm. Most of the creatures in the Abyss are vicious and warlike, especially towards outsiders.
If it's someone strong, they might show some respect.
But if it's about the weak...
They squeeze the weak as hard as they can.
Hehe~
Naraku did not offer much comment.
"What if I don't leave?" Lu Cang asked.
Lu Cang probably understood Naraku's meaning; if he were to leave, things would likely go wrong.
Actually, there was another option: to have Bai Lu, the fearless warrior, and others come to pick him up.
but……
When answering questions, you need to understand the questioner's meaning. But Naraku in front of me doesn't seem to mean that.
Man is in the presence of the true God.
He still needed to think it over, and Lu Cang didn't believe that Naraku had rescued him out of sheer kindness.
True gods who do charity are rare indeed.
Most people in the fantasy world act with their own agenda.
"I'm not leaving."
"If you don't leave, you'll just stay with them."
"However, I've recently encountered a troubling matter. After all, I can't just leave my divine kingdom. If you could help me with that..."
"You know, God is always very generous when it comes to helping you complete your mission."
