Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 110 The Special Effects of Shadow of Time

In the short minute just now, Russell did not go to see any old friends. He just came to the nearest library with a clear goal. He used the ability of the Emperor of Knowledge to quickly browse through the history-related books and confirmed one thing - this is really the world more than a hundred years later, and the strange guy who summoned him did not deceive him.

And he, Russell Gustav, has been dead for more than 100 years. He has long become a figure in history textbooks, and a negative example at that.

To be honest, death didn't surprise Russell. After all, he already had the idea of jumping to the Black Emperor Path, using it to get rid of the contamination of the Outer Gods, and at the same time using the Black Emperor's resurrection characteristics to eliminate other non-adjacent characteristics, get rid of his half-mad fate, regain consciousness, and become a clean Sequence 0. He just hadn't made up his mind yet.

Therefore, the fact that He would die in the future did not surprise Rosseldo.

But the key point is, theoretically He should have been resurrected long ago, so why didn’t He resurrect in this era?

Russell had a bad premonition in his heart, knowing that there might be some major changes in his resurrection plan. He then tried to perceive himself in this era, and his expression became increasingly ugly.

"It seems you're convinced this is the world of the future." Rowling glanced at Russell and guessed what he was thinking. Rowling smiled and gestured to the sofa next to him, saying, "Sit down, Mr. Russell. We can have a good chat."

Russell didn't reject Luo Lin's suggestion. He sat down on the sofa and then looked at Luo Lin and said, "Are you the Lord of Mysteries?"

"Pfft..." Luo Lin couldn't help laughing. He looked at Russell and said, "Why do you think so?"

"Historical projection is an extraordinary ability of the Diviner's Path, and as far as I know, the Lord of Mysteries is also known as the Lord of Time and Space. So I originally thought that you, who projected past consciousness into historical projection, would be the Lord of Mysteries, but now it seems that you are not."

Roselle spoke clearly, "You can say that 'He' is a bad person, but as the Emperor of Knowledge, Roselle can indeed be called erudite."

"Unfortunately, the Lord of Mysteries can't do that." Luo Lin smiled and looked at Russell. "This is just my unique skill. You can call it the Shadow of Time."

Shadow of Time… Russell memorized the name firmly before asking again, “Since you are not the Lord of Mysteries, then who are you?”

"You can call me Lucifer. As for my identity, I can be considered as your fellow countryman." Luo Lin introduced himself with a smile.

"Lucifer... Are you cosplaying the Morning Star?" Russell knew it was a fake name as soon as he heard it, and rolled his eyes. He was not surprised by the identity of Rowling's fellow countryman, but it was obvious that Russell relaxed a lot after his guess was confirmed.

He then looked out the window and said, "Since you possess such miraculous abilities, I believe the truth behind my time travel is no longer a secret to you."

"This is definitely not a secret to me." Luo Lin didn't deny it. He also looked out the window and said, "I know this is Earth, tens of millions of years in the future."

"Then do you know about those things?" Russell winked. "You mean the Outer Gods? I do know of their existence. In fact, I've dealt with them more than once."

Luo Lin naturally understood what Russell was referring to. He smiled and said, "I've been working on Mr. Lao Men lately, helping him get rid of the contamination from the Fallen Mother Goddess."

Russell's eyes instantly sharpened, and he looked at Luo Lin and said, "Can you remove the pollution from the Outer Gods?"

"Of course, Mr. Russell, I can indeed remove the pollution from the Outer Gods. I am the only one who can do it in this era." Luo Lin nodded with a smile, then looked at Russell and said:

"This is also the reason why I summoned you today, Mr. Russell. I think you should have sensed your situation in this era."

Russell's expression was grim. He pursed his lips and said, "I originally thought that becoming a Sequence 0 and dying once would free me from the contamination of the Mother Goddess. Now it seems I was too naive. In this era, I am still contaminated, correct?"

"To be more precise, you are stuck in a state between life and death. You have indeed not escaped the contamination of the Outer Gods. In fact, you can still be resurrected as the Black Emperor, but after resurrection, you will become a god completely controlled by the Outer Gods." Rowling said slowly.

"This is fucking hell!" Russell couldn't help but curse, then looked at Luo Lin and said, "Name your price, fellow countryman. What do you want in exchange for helping me?"

"You believe me so easily?" Luo Lin didn't rush to make an offer, but just smiled.

"Why wouldn't I believe this? My current state is proof of it. Honestly, I haven't been this lucid in ages. Because of that damn pollution, I'm often in a state of unconsciousness. But your miraculous power not only helps me suppress the pollution in my body, it even suppresses my primordial consciousness. You can even do something like this, so why shouldn't I believe you?"

When Russell said this, there was a sense of relief between his brows after a long period of repression. This was not surprising. Whether it was fighting against the original consciousness or fighting against the polluted consciousness in the body, it was not easy. Now these existences were suppressed. Although there was still divinity that needed to be balanced, this was too easy for Russell.

Huh? Shadow of Time also has this function?

Rowling naturally understood what Russell meant. He looked at Russell calmly, feeling that a question that had been on his mind for a long time had finally been answered.

Luo Lin had previously felt that the ancient sun god and Mr. Men that he summoned were too human. Logically, whether it was the Sun God in a semi-old state or Mr. Men who had become three-in-one and was contaminated by the outer gods, their conditions should be worse, but in fact, they were very human and had rich emotions.

It now seems that the reason for this is probably because the Shadow of Time suppressed the consciousness that did not belong to the summoned person, such as the revived original consciousness, mysterious consciousness, or polluted consciousness, or simply summoned only the consciousness belonging to the summoner, without bringing these fragments.

Luo Lin came to a conclusion in his heart, but it was not too surprising. After all, what the Shadow of Time summoned was the will of the summoner, similar to the original will that was not originally within the scope of being summoned. Moreover, his ability to summon Yug showed that his status was high, so it was not surprising that he could suppress those messy things.
