374: Chapter 373 Seeing Xiao Luowei Again

Future Tang Zheng's words put Chu Xuan's mind slightly at ease.

When he next headed to the Tianxing Mountains, besides targeting the Elf Race, he was also very interested in the supreme treasures of the Orc Race and Dwarf Race.

Putting those thoughts aside, Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly typed a sentence: [In that case, is the most likely cause of my death the Revelation hiding in the shadows?!]

[Tang Zheng: He is the most likely candidate. That missing month of history must have contained a particularly significant event that he deliberately concealed.]

[Tang Zheng: Next, I have a plan to travel to other worlds to track down Revelation's whereabouts and traces.]

[Tang Zheng: This world we are in has a blank period in history that hides most of Revelation's traces, but that might not be the case in other worlds.]

Seeing these consecutive messages, Chu Xuan's heart suddenly stirred: [Is there some logic behind this?]

[Tang Zheng: Before an individual's life level reaches a certain Breakthrough stage, it's difficult to escape the constraints of their current world. They are bound to be affected by rules and undertake mandatory tasks. Given the strength Revelation possesses, there's no doubt he must have participated in some world-level tasks.]

Particularly some group-based world tasks, which are the hardest to avoid.

As long as it happened, traces must remain. I truly don't believe he can erase every single trace of himself from all the worlds he has traversed.

As long as I can find even a single shred of evidence, I can kill him!]

Chu Xuan: [You seem to have a lot of resentment.]

[Tang Zheng: Damn it, I feel like my luck has suddenly turned terrible! When things go weird, there's always a reason. It's possible Revelation sensed I discovered him and developed strong malice toward him, so he's started messing with me.]

Chu Xuan couldn't help but frown: [Revelation also has the ability to influence others' luck?]

[Tang Zheng: He doesn't, but in this timeline three years into the future where I am, a human Transcendent has this ability and has pushed it almost to the limit. Not many people are willing to make an enemy of them.]

When I noticed my luck mysteriously worsening, I immediately went to find this person, but the guy is actually hiding from me and refuses to show his face.

I don't believe such a coincidence would happen at this juncture. I suspect there's some connection with Revelation.]

A sharp light flashed in Chu Xuan's eyes: [Who is this person? I'll go look for them now.]

[Tang Zheng: I know what you're thinking. You want to find the past version of them and use that to influence the future, right? You really have some wild ideas!]

Fine, I'll tell you the information about her... Shit, the Lightning Tribulation suddenly got stronger!]

[Tang Zheng: Registered in Shen City, name Duan Lingxi, a few years younger than us... Holy crap! This Lightning Tribulation is a bit fierce this time. I need to take it seriously and can't provide any more useful info...]

Seeing this, Chu Xuan understood that his contact with Future Tang Zheng was about to come to an end.

However, just then, the other party suddenly sent one last message.

[Tang Zheng: Wait...!! I just thought of something, one more piece of advice! In your near future, an unparalleled crisis is about to appear. Do everything you can to rapidly increase your strength. It's best to raise all your basic attributes to 200 points before you advance in rank, otherwise, you likely won't survive that crisis...]

Chu Xuan's heart tightened as he quickly asked: [What crisis?]

However, Future Tang Zheng did not reply for a long time.

Chu Xuan's expression shifted between light and dark.

An unprecedented crisis?

"Regardless, I still need to increase my strength as quickly as possible. 200 points for all attributes... In that case, I must make the most of the next opportunity to go to the Tianxing Mountains..."

Chu Xuan's gaze narrowed slightly.

After a pause, Chu Xuan reviewed the messages sent between them once more before putting his phone away.

It was already 8:20 AM, and Lin Jie and the others were still sleeping soundly.

Chu Xuan's heart stirred as he took out the greed tank again, attempting to drink wine in the dream to see if it would still be effective upon returning to reality.

After drinking six cups in succession, his spirit attribute increased by 5 points, stamina by 2 points, and his maximum health points were boosted by an additional 70 points.

The slight tipsiness returned.

Chu Xuan noted down his current basic attribute data and stopped drinking.

Next, he took the werewolf kill card from his Exclusive Space. When he attempted to use it, the System provided a prompt.

[Prompt: This is a System-rewarded rule-type item. If this item is used within a Talent dream, it will be considered consumed. The item will disappear when you wake up, but the participants of the card game within the dream will not be affected. Do you wish to use it? This prompt will only appear once!]

—No!

Chu Xuan made his decision immediately.

"It seems the use of rule-type items, much like the exclusive skill synthesis crystal, cannot be done in a dream, or it would be a waste."

Immediately after, Chu Xuan's gaze fell upon the world-class Assimilation skill, and his thoughts shifted.

—If I use this skill in a dream, will reality be affected?

[Your rank is insufficient... Detected that you are a Purifier. Do you wish to consume 100 spirituality value to obtain the answer?]

—Yes.

[Your spirituality value -100]

[Current spirituality value: 9986]

[This skill is empowered by world force. When you use this skill in a dream, it is considered used. The skill will disappear when you wake up, and those assimilated in the dream will be directly converted to an assimilated state, meaning the Assimilation is considered instantly completed.]

That was acceptable!

"Whether in a dream or in reality, using this skill is considered a successful use." Chu Xuan nodded slightly.

"Next, let's see if I can go to that place again..." With a thought, a silver scroll abruptly appeared in Chu Xuan's hand.

He didn't use it immediately but first kicked Lin Jie to wake him up.

Chu Xuan used the Eye of Insight and found that the moment Lin Jie woke up, as he had expected, he had broken through to Level 7.

However, unlike himself, he hadn't maxed out everything; all four attributes had reached 68 points, still a bit short of the maximum value for Level 7 attributes.

"Huh? What's wrong? Brother Chu Xuan..." Lin Jie woke up slowly, his expression still somewhat dazed.

"Come, follow me to a certain place." Chu Xuan grabbed Lin Jie and, with a thought, used the random teleportation scroll.

Once again, the world spun.

Chu Xuan's consciousness momentarily blurred.

Before fully recovering, Chu Xuan faintly smelled seawater, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore echoed in his ears.

"Xiao Luowei, you bloodthirsty, murderous Devil Head, do you still dare to deny you're in league with demons?"

"How many heroes of Cangzhou have you harmed? Even the peerlessly righteous leader of the Juyi Gang, Chen Yuannan, was murdered by your hand!"

"Over these four thousand miles, nearly a hundred elites from three provinces have died at your hands, and countless ordinary citizens have died in vain because of your Demonic Technique Cultivation! Did you think you could rest easy by fleeing to the Tianxing Sea?"

"Even if you flee to the ends of the earth today, it won't help. This Tianxing Sea shall be your burial ground!"

"Hand over the Spirit Treasure quickly, and we'll leave your corpse intact!"

Numerous chaotic voices reached his ears.

Compared to last time, it only took Chu Xuan two or three seconds to return to normal.

He immediately discovered he was currently on the deck of a giant ship, but Lin Jie was nowhere to be seen beside him.

Crash—

Behind him, the sea waves rolled and crashed.

Blood flowed on the deck in front of him. Dozens of people stood in various spots, their bodies radiating extraordinary Qi. All of them were looking up at a woman in red standing atop the mast.

This woman in red currently had a look of madness on her face as she laughed wildly toward the sky!
