633: Chapter 631 [Peering into Fate]
" Revelation? "
Chu Xuan felt a flash of surprise, but quickly reacted, a possibility occurring to him.
" Every time I kill someone, the System provides a name. Sometimes it's the original name, other times it's a codename, the symbol that best represents the deceased's identity. "
" So, this guy's real codename is Revelation? Everyone who stayed active in the outside world was just a body double... "
Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
As his Mental Energy continued to deplete, he still exerted full effort to use [ Tracing Cause and Effect ].
The red-glowing Karma thread guided him to the corpse in front of him, which had already lost its Concealment and was being burned by the Fire of Nirvana.
Furthermore, in another light gray Karma thread, the figure driving the Flying Boat into the city suddenly exploded, turning into a pool of putrid water, clearly affected by the death of the original body.
At this moment, the light gray Karma thread gradually dimmed, until it completely lost its color and began to turn dark.
And the Karma thread that Chu Xuan paid the most attention to, the one flickering with red light, also lost its color as the corpse in front of him was burned to ashes by the Fire of Nirvana...
The illusory image remained, but it also lost its color, and the entire scene dimmed, appearing grayish-white and dark, as if permeated by deathly silence.
" The thread flickering with red light represents the main body of my target. Once the target dies, it will lose its color, and the illusory image it guides will also change accordingly... "
A flash of realization rose in Chu Xuan's heart, but immediately after, his gaze fixed, his eyes locked onto the front.
Where the corpse had been burned by the Fire of Nirvana, a scarlet array had now manifested.
" This array... " Chu Xuan's heart stirred. He immediately opened the System page to find the hidden mission issued by the System earlier.
The hidden mission stated: Kill any creature within one hour and use blood to draw an array to obtain extra spirituality value.
The array in the System was exactly the same as the one Chu Xuan saw before him.
However, the array manifesting in reality before his eyes looked even more eerie and unfathomable.
" I haven't even actively drawn the array, yet it appeared on its own... "
A sharp glint flashed in Chu Xuan's eyes. Before this, he had vaguely felt something was wrong; the method of using blood to draw an array was somewhat similar to the way Strange Creaturess sacrificed to evil gods.
Now, truly feeling the eerie power within the array, he couldn't help but become even more vigilant.
Just as these thoughts crossed Chu Xuan's mind, a sudden change occurred.
Boom!
The array shattered suddenly and vanished in an instant.
[ Announcement: This hidden mission is affected by the Specter rules and has now been lifted. ]
[ Part of the authority from " Concealment " has been replicated. All personnel currently participating in the World Mission can choose to exchange for the max-level extraordinary skill " Stealth " directly after completing the mission and returning. ]
When he saw this System prompt, a bead of cold sweat instantly broke out on Chu Xuan's forehead.
That's too insidious!
Could this hidden mission be a ritual to summon an evil god?
No wonder that " hidden mission " was limited to 1 hour, and only the first 10 minutes offered a 100% chance to gain 5 times the spirituality value.
This was creating a sense of urgency, allowing the personnel participating in this World Mission to set up the ritual as quickly as possible.
And the true body of " Revelation " was a medium. He didn't need to do it himself; he just needed to survive for a period, and naturally, someone would help summon the evil god.
As these thoughts whirled in Chu Xuan's mind, he let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he was fast enough.
From the moment he entered the Cangyun World until he finally killed the opponent, it took less than 15 minutes in total.
Most of this time was spent chasing on the road.
If he had been delayed for any longer, he would likely have faced an irreversible desperate situation.
Exhaling softly, Chu Xuan put away his thoughts.
At this moment, as the scarlet array before him disappeared, the System prompt continued.
[ You have killed the World Traitor · Revelation. There is still 23,500 points of spirituality essence remaining in this body's flesh and blood. 14,100 points have been fed back to you. ]
[ Current spirituality value: 57,100 ]
[ You have obtained 4 rule fragments. Current remaining: 14 ]
[ Your health points limit +100, spirituality value limit +100 ]
" I actually obtained so much spirituality value and rule fragments... "
Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow.
After the opponent broke free from the Concealment state, Chu Xuan used the Eye of Insight to check and found that the opponent was only level 13.
But his actual combat power was very average; the strength displayed was only slightly better than the Azure Dragon back then.
And at that time, the Azure Dragon was restricted by the world rules and suppressed to level 11. In that environment, it was already considered top-tier combat power.
If he could have survived until now, the Azure Dragon's strength would likely have improved by leaps and bounds as well.
However, although " Revelation " did not have strong frontal combat power, his level of insidiousness was even worse than the Azure Dragon's back then.
Especially since he possessed various death-substitution items, lizard-tail-severing survival skills, the ability to create body doubles, and the authority of true Concealment; they were all life-saving skills.
If Chu Xuan hadn't had level 7 [ Myriad Forms ] and Perfection-level [ Tracing Cause and Effect ] this time, it would have been almost impossible to completely kill " Revelation ".
[ You have triggered the Talent skill " Strong Plunder ". Do you choose to obtain the Talent " Peering into Fate "? ]
[ Peering into Fate: When you are about to encounter a fatal disaster, you will receive a warning and a brief vision of death will appear in your mind. ]
[ You can conduct a certain degree of deduction based on clues such as " people ", " events ", and " objects " that you have imagined or already possess, thereby " predicting the future " and " retracing the past ", and relevant images will appear in your mind. ]
[ (Note: The more complete the clues, the more accurate the deduction; when clues are incomplete or obstructed by Karma, the images you see will be blurred and distorted, and you may also see false images.) ]
[ This Talent consumes 100 points of spirituality value upon its first trigger, and will consume corresponding Mental Energy. The more frequently it is used on the same day and the longer the duration, the greater the consumption. ]
It's here!
This is the Talent that the outside world has always rumored to be called [ Revelation ], but its true name is actually [ Peering into Fate ].
It really is fitting.
" Peering into Fate... Peering into fate? "
Chu Xuan murmured softly.
This skill is somewhat similar to the " Heavenly Secret " he fabricated back then. In terms of deduction, it is more proactive, but there is a possibility of seeing false images.
Regardless, this is a very powerful Talent.
At this time, the System prompt appeared again.
[ Do you want to acquire this Talent skill? Please make a choice within 1 hour, otherwise it will be considered a waiver... ]
Should he choose it?
Chu Xuan lowered his eyes slightly.
In previous dreams, [ Future Tang Zheng ] repeatedly emphasized not to plunder the Talent skill of Revelation, otherwise, he would be infected by the evil god's will.
He had considered capturing Revelation alive first, then trying to enter a dream in the Cangyun World, and then killing him.
But in the last dream, [ Future Tang Zheng ] told him that he must kill Revelation at the first opportunity, otherwise the evil god's true body would still descend.
In this regard, the scarlet array that just disappeared, and the hidden mission that contained hidden dangers, seemed to prove this point.
If this were not the Cangyun World, but his original world, Chu Xuan would not hesitate to choose to acquire it directly.
Even if something went wrong, he could use [ Dream Return ] to turn everything that happened into a dream, using the last time he woke up as an anchor point to try again.
But in this Cangyun World, it clearly wouldn't work.
As early as when he first Awakening [ Dream Return ], the System had already prompted that this ability could only be used in the original world.
At this time, Chu Xuan checked again.
[ Dream Return: You are currently in another world and cannot use this skill. ]
Chu Xuan slowly closed his eyes.
In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the chat Records with [ Future Tang Zheng ].
He had reviewed those chat Records more than once.
At this very moment, every word and every sentence surfaced in his mind again.
After a long while.
Chu Xuan opened his eyes abruptly, having already made a decision in his heart!
