Chapter 587: Chapter 346: Closing One Crevice Opens Another

"This is..."

An Su looked at the magnificent Imperial Palace before him, at the guards in black masks. These were... his own four royal guards.

Four Level 9 Death Element Reincarnators.

As far as the eye could see, ministers prostrated themselves across the vast royal court.

Every single minister was a powerful Level 8 Reincarnator. His throne was as dazzling as the sun in the sky!

Where else could one witness such a magnificent sight?

This was the An Su Dynasty!

That annoying Lu Cang was gone.

And he himself was about to step into that supreme realm!

"Death Controller—The Emperor Who Masters the Dead."

A vast dynasty.

A reigning overlord!

If he could just step into that supreme Level 10 realm! How could the so-called Bai possibly contend with him!

Even if she was the Divine Spirit who had presided over Death and Destruction since ancient times!

She would be no match for me!

His Mind, dormant for so many years, was boiling over!

And yet, this scene...

...couldn’t help but fill An Su with a pang of dread!

He gazed at the sun far beyond the great hall, only to see that it was a kaleidoscope of colors.

An Su remembered clearly.

On this very day, his dynasty would face its destruction...

In the year 4022 of the An Su Dynasty, Pure White descended from the heavens!

It brought a destructive catastrophe to the entire world.

And the Ritual he had prepared for so many years was destroyed in an instant during the Pure White Descent...

If not for the Pure White Descent, why would he have had to... resort to Reincarnation through Death to approach that supreme realm?

In that era, no one ever knew.

His Reincarnation...

...was merely an act of desperation!

’But why am I here again?’

’Appearing here at my Peak?’

’Could it be... the Deep Land?’

...

Lu Luwei gazed at the empty Battle Arena.

She had won the War God Cup.

This time, Lu Cang hadn’t appeared. Without Lu Cang... she had obtained the Prophet’s class change Scroll.

In truth, the item was of no use to her.

Lu Luwei felt a little lost.

Ever since a voice had called out to her, she had been back here.

She had woken up as if from a dream.

Everything that had happened felt like a dream.

But everything in that dream had also felt so real...

More than just real.

Even the Bow Skills she had obtained in the dream could be used in reality.

After winning the War God Cup, Lu Luwei naturally secured the title of Lorren’s strongest Archer.

The various skills and knowledge she obtained in that "dream" had also raised her power to a new level.

As time went on, Lu Luwei couldn’t help but wonder...

’This person, Lu Cang... did he even really exist?’

...

「Lu Luwei’s Sea of Consciousness」

Lu Cang advanced through Lu Luwei’s Sea of Consciousness.

He heard the familiar, nonsensical whispers again.

His Divine Level·Final Sense began to send strong and unsettling feedback. Lu Cang frowned, gradually coming to a halt.

He hadn’t felt his Final Sense give this kind of feedback during the Future Preview.

The trigger conditions for Divine Level·Final Sense were indeed a little different during a Future Preview compared to normal space-time.

During a Future Preview, Final Sense sometimes failed to predict certain hidden dangers.

Perhaps it was because these dangers weren’t truly dangerous to Lu Cang. Even if he died, it would only be a Reincarnation, ultimately just ending the Future Preview in the next cycle.

It wouldn’t threaten his true self.

However, in the real world, death was death, and danger was danger.

Now, any danger at all should trigger a warning from his Final Sense...

"All who linger in the whispers of dreams shall see us in their dreams."

"Between the void and the real... every time a crack is sealed... you will follow us and step into the Deep Land."

The familiar whispers.

And a strange new warning.

THUMP—

Lu Cang saw the boundary between the void and reality again. His heart was pounding, pounding violently! This premonition of crisis was just like the time he faced Aertemi.

It was an unprecedented premonition.

Future Preview.

CLICK—

Lu Cang activated Future Preview once again.

The moment he activated the preview, the premonition from his Final Sense vanished...

Then, in the preview, Lu Cang entered the Deep Land!

HUMMM—

He opened his eyes again, back in reality. The answer he’d gotten from the Future Preview was—safe.

He hadn’t seen anything in the end.

The information he obtained was identical to before.

But his Intuition was screaming at him.

’I might be able to lie to myself, but my Final Sense would never lie to me.’

’I would lie to myself?’

Lu Cang suddenly had a realization.

’If I were really contaminated, what would I be thinking? Would I even want to get rid of the contamination?’

Lu Cang suddenly realized.

He had been taking things for granted.

’Why was I so certain I would want to be free of it?’

He had already used Future Preview three times today.

The first use was at midnight. During that preview, Lu Cang had gone straight to Moonfall Island to try and manifest a Tier Seven Dungeon, wanting to see how others would react.

He hadn’t paid much attention to Lu Luwei’s situation.

He had one last use of Future Preview for the day.

’Should I use it?’

’Doing the same thing again would probably yield the same result... but with such a strong sense of crisis, not using the preview would be no different from suicide, right?’

Lu Cang used Future Preview again!

But this time.

Lu Cang didn’t walk toward the crack.

Instead, he raised his hand, and Magic Power gathered in his palm...

’Magic from the real world can’t affect the Void Realm.’

’And Magic from the Void Realm can’t affect the real world.’

Magic condensed in both his left and right hands.

In Lu Cang’s mind, a puzzle was gradually being solved...

Tier Six Magic (Real)—Sealing Door Seal (Level 501)

Tier Six Magic (Void)—Silent Closure (Level 501)

CLAP—

Lu Cang clapped his hands together!

The two spells clamped together, enveloping the crack, which closed in the instant the Seal took hold!

One crack was sealed.

The crack before him was sealed, filled in.

A thought struck Lu Cang. He turned around, and his eyes widened to see a wide crack splitting open behind him!

Within each crack, he could see an inverted scene featuring his own face!

The scenery of Earth.

Lu Cang’s brow furrowed slightly.

He cast another spell, sealing the new crack!

The crack before him vanished, only for another one to open.

In that one was the scenery of Atlantis City.

He sealed it again!

WHOOSH—

Yet another crack appeared, this one showing the scenery of Kernoya...

Lu Cang sealed the cracks one after another, but they kept appearing one after another.

In every crack, he himself was the main subject.

"Every time one crack is sealed, another will open, until you enter one."

Lu Cang understood the meaning of the phrase.

’So these cracks lead to the so-called Deep Land...’

’What is the Deep Land?’

’Why am I seeing so many reflections of myself?’

Lu Cang decided not to explore any further. He would exit Lu Luwei’s Sea of Consciousness and ask An Su. He ought to know something.
