Wasteland Echoer.

Chapter 544 Obtaining the "Burning Black Vision"

“Age 900: Human spirituality will never be extinguished, and their bodies are the best carriers of being born as gods. The red agitation will always linger in the sky, and the green light will still linger in the dead silence. When the ancient darkness fills all the containers that hold the Holy Spirit, all existence will return to the universe and the Creator, and completely dissipate in the world.” - "The Word of God"

"Future" died, and he did not have the chance to board the train from Ice City to the Nebsk Plain, nor did he have the chance to experience the world around the "Great Railway" again before completely leaving Cruzde, which was full of war and death.

The legendary Eastern world flowing with honey and milk, covered with gold and silver, and overflowing with peace and tranquility, may have never belonged to him, the lost man who survived killing and death.

The "Red Fantasy Ruins" are filled with "sorrow" and "ancient power". These terrifying forces have been condensed for hundreds of years and seem to never dissipate. Not only do they make the flow of time inside extremely slow, they also cause all living things to be wiped out after death.

Of course, gods and people with "divinity" are exceptions.

Unfortunately, "Future" does not possess "divinity", or rather, he has never had the opportunity to possess any divinity, or the chance to be promoted to a god.

Standing in front of "The Future", Wright looked at the face of "The Future" that still retained its childishness, and the body that had long been alienated and broken. As the firefly-like life aura light continued to dissipate and gradually faded and disappeared, he did not feel anything in his heart, and his emotions did not fluctuate at all.

Death and darkness are the eternal themes of this wasteland world. The brief moment of light is not enough to change the direction of the long night.

However, for the lost ones, according to the "laws" established by the Creator, their death is destined to be beautiful and meaningful.

Even if these souls that have left their mortal bodies ascend to the heaven, kingdom of heaven, and celestial realm described by religious believers, or fall into a sinful hell filled with blood and fire, they will no longer feel any confusion or pain like humans.

However, as he stared at the "future" that had completely disappeared before his eyes, the red magic power in Light's body, under the influence of the surrounding "ancient power", transmitted the following message to his brain:
"The 'future', that is, the existence of Constantinian, has been erased. Any trace of his existence in the world will disappear. All the people and things he has influenced will become blurred. Part of his existence will be replaced and filled by others. Unless the owner is a person with divinity, all memories of the 'future' will disappear."

"How pitiful." Wright sighed, and while the "Pramini's Sorrow" behind him temporarily retracted its body for defense and recovery, he reached out to the pile of black powder left behind by "Future" after its death.

Although he and the "Future" had only known each other for less than half a day, they had fought side by side after all. If he could take away some traces of the "Future"'s existence in this world, if the long night of the wasteland ushers in the dawn and peace comes to the world in the future, it would mean that someone remembered that there was a lost person in this world who longed for peace and fought against disasters and monsters.

Thinking of this, Wright suspended his hand above the dark dust and powder and grabbed it down suddenly.

But there was no soft feeling of dust on Kelete's fingertips, nor was there any dirt or particles on his hands. Instead, he grabbed a hard object hidden under the dust.

After taking it out and blowing off the black powder on the surface, Wright discovered that this was an absolutely standard sphere that could not be made with current human technology.

Its surface is very smooth and has a transparent texture, but in the dark and gloomy atmosphere around it, it presents a strange, flickering and changing light of azure and deep purple.

Originally, Wright wanted to solve the "Pramini's Sorrow" in front of him first, and then find the Crusaders after walking out of the "Red Fantasy Ruins" to ask what this sphere was.

But when he unconsciously injected a ray of red magic power into it, the sphere became like a bound firework, and brilliant sparks began to explode continuously from the inside, as if an expensive fireworks show to celebrate the "Fire New Year" was taking place.

Fortunately, Wright was not so immersed in the colorful picture that he could not extricate himself. Instead, he keenly sensed a tiny, weak but very tenacious force of heat and cold that was drilling into his body along the sphere.

This power seemed to be of the same kind as the red magic power, or it could predictably resonate with it. Even though it had passed through his brain, it did not make him feel uncomfortable or in danger.

Instead, this strange power was conveying the sphere's message to the depths of his soul:

"'The Core to the Future' is the name of this sphere..." Light said in a low voice, reciting the information that entered his mind:
"It is the key item of the 'Universal Energy Evolution Platform' project created by Vasily Voliganov, the current Chief Executive of Cruzde and the supreme ruler of the Cruzde Federation. There are seven items in total, called 'cores', used to activate the 'Evolution Platforms' scattered across Cruzde in the Old Empire.

"They not only correspond to the locations of their respective 'Evolution Platforms', but also correspond to the Big Dipper named after the culture of the Khitan Rees (Yanhuo Empire), and to the time periods that existed seven eras ago." "Interesting." Wright made a simple comment and continued reading:

"This 'Core to the Future' represents the 'Evolution Platform' buried in the ice and snow in the ice field east of the 'Red Fantasy Ruins' and west of Carnosk. It symbolizes the 'Germination Time of Lava' and the 'Tianji' in the Big Dipper.

"These seven 'cores' used to open the 'Evolution Platform' have their own unique functions in addition to their fixed missions. After the 'core to the future' is injected with dark and water-based magic power, it can activate the ability to temporarily turn anyone into a Void Zero state."

"The ability to become a Void Zero state... requires Dark and Water Magic Power. This core... doesn't seem to be of much use to me. However, since it is one of the props of the Federal Committee's 'Evolution Platform' plan, it must be very important to the Cruz people. If I can bring him to the Chief Executive Vasily, I'm afraid I can get a lot of rewards. If the materials and money given are sufficient, it shouldn't be a problem to reach the Flame Empire in the east." Wright thought to himself:
"When I was in the Rinie Empire, the red magic source showed me the text and cultural imprints of the Flame Empire more than once. Perhaps the key to taking me out of here and back to the previous world lies in the Flame Empire. Even if I can't go back... If I want to end the Wasteland Era, I'm afraid that only the Flame Empire, which has preserved most of its land and civilization, has enough strength."

Thinking of this, Wright picked up the "core to the future" and was about to put it in his pocket. However, at this moment, this "core" began to shake violently in Wright's hand.

Along with this, seemingly countless tiny dark lines continued to emerge from the center of the "core". They first formed the "double-headed eagle" emblem of the Cruz Federation, and then turned into a dark mark that was exactly the same as the pattern on the forehead of "Future".

Soon, countless dark threads emerged from the "core" and tightly wrapped around Wright's right hand. No matter how Wright struggled, his arm was bruised and bleeding from the threads, and he still couldn't throw away the "core".

After about five or six minutes, the violently shaking "core" gradually calmed down. At this moment, the powerful extraordinary force that was highly related to the "ancient" and dark magic source power broke free from the constraints of the silk thread and the "core", and all drilled into Wright's nostrils and merged with his brain.

Fortunately, since he came into this world, Wright has possessed a strong spiritual strength that is unmatched by mortals. Unless his body is tired and his muscles are exhausted, he will not suffer a mental breakdown, confusion, or faint for any reason.

These forces containing evil aura continued to impact his brain until countless dark blood flowed out of his eyes, nostrils, ears and mouth, and turned into black ladybugs spreading their wings and flying. Only then did the "Core to the Future" in his hand quickly stop moving, and along with those dark threads, returned to calm.

"Huh... Huh... What is this?" Wright endured the pain and did not fall down. He staggered a few steps before he could barely maintain his standing posture.

At this moment, the "Core to the Future" in his hand has turned into an ordinary crystal ball, after removing the dark threads that had withered like dead vines.

However, when he put the "core" into the inner pocket of the guard's uniform and started to mobilize the red magic power in his body again, he was surprised to find that a dark magic power had appeared in his body without him noticing.

Trying to mobilize the rapidly growing dark magic power, Wright discovered that the world in his right eye suddenly lost its color, just like watching an old black-and-white TV.

But he felt that his thinking became clearer. Through the black and white images, he could observe more clearly every blade of grass and tree in the surrounding environment, and even the details of every grain of sand.

Even in his eyes, the "Pramini's Sorrow", which was curled up just now waiting for its strength to recover, now had many more lines on its body to predict its next move, as well as a specific attack plan against this monster presented in the form of complex geometric patterns.

In other words, this sudden force is an auxiliary plug-in used to guide your specific combat and predict the enemy's next move!

At the same time, the ethereal, childish voice of "Future" appeared in his mind:

"Lord Light, you are the [Order], the true leader of the future described in the prophecy of our [Order Society]. I have followed Brother Fengkuang to a land of abundant water and grass without suffering, pain, hunger, disease and pain.

"This dark magic power skill called 'Burning Black Vision' is my parting gift to you. It may help you defeat 'Pramini's Sorrow', or it may help you find the way to Qidanlis. In fact, the moment I saw you, I knew that you were an [Orderer], and I also realized the fate of death that a 'ruler' must experience.

"I only hope that one day the war will end, and humans and the Lost Ones can live in a prosperous world where no one rules and no one is ruled... Also, when you finally set foot on the land of Khitanris, please tell me in your heart - you have arrived, you have arrived at the last hope of mankind in the East."
