634: Chapter 632 Contacting Tang Zheng
[Do you choose to acquire the Talent skill "Peeping at Fate"? Time remaining: 10 seconds...]
The System prompt appeared.
It turned out that, unknowingly, Chu Xuan had been standing there for nearly an hour.
At this moment, as the countdown began, the chat Record regarding [Future Tang Zheng] in Chu Xuan's mind vanished instantly, and he had already made his decision.
— —Acquire!
[You have acquired the Talent skill "Peeping at Fate"!]
[Prompt: Detected that you are currently located in an otherworldly realm; this Talent skill will be partially weakened.]
At this moment, Chu Xuan's mind roared.
Unlike when he acquired the [Strong Plunder] Talent, after possessing the [Peeping at Fate] skill, Chu Xuan felt as if he had grasped some kind of ability in the netherworld.
It was the ability to capture information in the Void Realm.
Even, Chu Xuan felt that his [Tracing Cause and Effect], which had already reached the level of Perfection, had been slightly strengthened at this moment.
Chu Xuan did not know if this was his illusion.
But he had no time to worry about these things now.
He remained motionless, using his Mental Energy to probe every inch of his body.
There was not the slightest abnormality.
Chu Xuan did not lower his guard; in an instant, he withdrew all his consciousness and sank into his spirit world.
In the vast, white space, Chu Xuan's figure condensed and appeared, probing around, but there was still no change, just as it had always been.
That other consciousness, having been blasted to death by Chu Xuan's punch before, had fallen silent again and had not reappeared.
Only the Phantom Demon in its phantom state was currently curled up into a ball. When it saw Chu Xuan's spirit body condense and arrive, it immediately approached, squinting its smiling face as it said:
"My great Dominator, you were truly majestic just now! That insignificant vermin that only knew how to hide was completely no match for you under your Divine Might, with nothing left to do but wait for death."
Chu Xuan glanced at the Phantom Demon, his expression unchanged as he said: "Did you sense anything?"
The Phantom Demon was stunned and subconsciously asked: "Sense what?"
Chu Xuan said calmly: "The will of an Evil God might descend into my body."
"What!?!" The Phantom Demon leaped away suddenly, its curled-up phantom form expanding as if it were about to explode.
"What did you say? The descent of a god's will?" The Phantom Demon shrieked, incredibly panicked, darting around like a rubber ball, but it was imprisoned there and could not leave.
"Ahhh!"
"Quick, let me out of here!!"
The Phantom Demon yelled and screamed, anxious like an ant on a hot pan, spinning around incessantly.
"Eh?" After a good while, the Phantom Demon suddenly paused and blinked: "Where is there a god's will? Why don't I feel it?"
"I only said it was possible, not certain." Chu Xuan had been observing the Phantom Demon's changing expressions the whole time. A moment later, he continued:
"Furthermore, that Evil God represents Concealment; if its will truly descends, you might not necessarily be able to detect it."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
The Phantom Demon leaped up, incredibly agitated, saying: "If a god's will really descended upon you, I would have been gone long ago, and you would definitely be finished too. With your level..."
"Cough, cough!" The Phantom Demon's voice suddenly stopped, its phantom form trembling. It pretended to cough violently twice before continuing:
"What I mean is, although your great power is boundless and vast, it is still slightly inferior to that of a god. It would definitely require a fierce struggle; it is impossible to be as safe and sound as you are now."
Speaking of this, the Phantom Demon had regained its composure and was no longer agitated, chuckling: "So, my Dominator, please do not make such jokes again. Especially when it involves gods; if you commit a taboo, it is possible to suffer divine punishment."
Chu Xuan directly ignored the Phantom Demon's warning and asked: "How much do you know about that Evil God who represents Concealment?"
"This..." The Phantom Demon's expression was slightly wary, but it still said: "Although He has not ascended to the divine throne and is not among the Seven Gods, He still possesses ancient legends, but no living being knows His true honorific name."
"That's it?" Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow.
"That's it."
"What about the ancient legends?"
"Forgot them." The Phantom Demon, as if afraid that Chu Xuan would not believe it, hurriedly added: "That existence is very mysterious; I only know that such an existence exists, but I do not know the specifics."
"It has already replaced the Lord of Madness."
Leaving this sentence behind, and no longer looking at the Phantom Demon's horrified and shocked expression, Chu Xuan's consciousness returned to the outside world. He checked his body again, and there was still not the slightest abnormality.
Until he waited for a while longer, it remained the same.
"In the dream, [Future Tang Zheng] once mentioned that just as he acquired the other party's Talent ability, that Evil God used this as a medium to launch an erosion against him..."
Chu Xuan recalled this sentence from the chat Record a short while ago, yet his body currently had no changes at all.
"No Evil God's will descended, hehe..."
Chu Xuan's mouth curled up, and he suddenly laughed: "Sure enough, it seems my judgment was not wrong..."
"Then, what exactly happened to Tang Zheng in reality?"
Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and took out the [communication radar] that Tang Zheng had given him that day.
After clicking the button on the edge, two red dots immediately appeared—one representing himself, and the other representing Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng had actually also arrived in the Cangyun World.
Chu Xuan said to the radar: "Tang Zheng, didn't we agree that you would come to see me as soon as possible? Since you have already arrived in the Cangyun World, why haven't you come over yet?"
After his voice fell, the same text appeared on the radar and was successfully sent.
Before long, the other party sent a message over: "Wait, I have a bit of a problem right now; I'll come find you immediately."
"What are you doing?" Chu Xuan frowned slightly: "Don't you have the Traverse skill? It would be best if you came over immediately."
"I can't, the cooldown time hasn't ended yet; wait for me a little longer." Tang Zheng cursed: "Damn it, I won't say anything more for now; some little girl actually swindled my spirituality value, I must kill her!"
