Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 174 Months: Oblivion

Pali is definitely the person Lu Cang has been most conflicted about since he transmigrated to this world.

It's hard to say who the enemy is.

I wouldn't even call them friends.

I need to see them, but I also genuinely don't want to see them; and I do dislike them to some extent...

But when faced with difficult choices, I think of Parly.

He did indeed solve a lot of problems thanks to Parly, but he was also swindled out of a lot of money by her. Actually, the money was secondary, but Lu Cang just didn't like being tricked.

"I do not know."

"Sister Pali is already very popular, so it's normal that so many people want to see you."

Since Parly didn't say it outright, Lu Cang didn't intend to reveal the good deeds he had done in Ruijia.

After all, Paris should be "neutral".

Who knows what she divined, or if she'll sell information to Ruijia.

"Ah……"

Paris gave a faint, cold laugh.

Lu Cang noticed that she didn't continue speaking, but instead lowered her head to read.

He then turned around and prepared to leave.

It's best to avoid getting involved with fortune tellers.

However, this turn of events...

But then he saw Yuna behind him.

In that moment of intense focus, I was completely absorbed in Parry and didn't notice Yuna at all...

"Lu Cang, who is she?"

Yuna, holding her book, looked at Pali, who was sitting quietly by the window reading.

"Yes……"

Lu Cang wanted to say that she was an evil diviner, but he hesitated.

She began by saying, "It's the learned older sister I knew before."

"They have helped me a lot."

It's best not to say anything bad about someone in front of them.

Yuna looked at Parly, but Parly's gaze remained fixed on her book. Parly was probably in her early twenties, in the prime of her youth.

If you disregard her evil fortune teller background, she really is a quiet and beautiful girl.

Yuna: "Oh, you're here to see her today?"

Lu Cang: "No, I came to find you."

Given Parly's scholarly level and extensive experience, she might be able to offer more help than Yuna.

However, unless absolutely necessary.

Lu Cang really didn't want to cooperate with Parly.

On one hand, the fortune teller's wicked character left a lasting impression on Lu Cang; on the other hand, her fees were shockingly expensive.

If I were to ask her to help me research banned books, who knows how much I'd have to charge her?

Although I am rich, this money didn't come from thin air.

They can study these banned books themselves, and their research progress is not slow, so why ask Parly for help?

In contrast, Yuna is not only free, but also provides emotional value.

This is the best choice.

"Really?" Yuna tilted her head.

"Well, that's absolutely true."

Yuna hugged the book tightly, lowered her head, and gave a barely perceptible smile: "Hmm... I'm a little happy."

Lu Cang said, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go to my house."

"I recently acquired a very valuable collection of books, containing knowledge you would never normally see..."

Lu Cang brought Yuna back home.

……

The remainder of the time.

You can see Pali at the White Tower every day.

I heard that there has been some unrest in Rega, and some high-ranking church officials from Loren have been transferred to Rega.

Some were dismissed from their posts, while others were promoted as a result.

I heard that some powerful figures came from overseas to reinforce the seal on the church in Ruijia and to replenish the supplies in the forbidden hall.

The props inside the forbidden hall appear to be intended as rewards for those who perform exceptionally well.

Alternatively, by accumulating a certain amount of contributions and merits within the church, one can exchange those merits for items in the Forbidden Temple.

After learning about Rega's dealings with the Church of Death, Kumironi was able to finally resolve his inner conflict.

Afterwards, she told Lu Cang that what she really cared about was not whether the churches had been robbed.

She saw Lu Cang become the leader of the Church of Death, learn so many evil rituals, and master the source of calamity...

They were discussing stealing something with Iz again.

I'm very worried.

He was worried that Lu Cang would go down a path of no return because of this, but everyone has their own principles, and Kumironi did not want to interfere with the principles that his companion needed to follow.

This ideological conflict plunged Kumiloni into a deep dilemma.

In addition, one of the two children he rescued became a highly skilled assassin, and the other became the bishop of the Church of Death.

This also plunged Cumiloni into deeper self-doubt.

Is there a problem with my parenting?

In the end, Lu Cang had a long talk with Kumironi, promising that he had enough principles and would never become like a member of the Church of Death.

They will use their energy on the relatively correct path.

Kumiloni was finally able to completely resolve his inner conflict.

Kumironi didn't expect to be absolutely right; he just wanted Lu Cang to not become the kind of evil being who indiscriminately killed innocent people.

After all, there are too many difficult choices in the world.

During this time, Lu Cang and Yuna have deciphered many of Ruijia's forbidden books.

During this period, I have become quite proficient in the study of prophecy, futurology, destiny, and divination.

The only area of ​​weakness is time management; there's almost no relevant information available here.

During the interpretation process.

Lu Cang also discovered many secrets and learned a War God's "Secret of Penetration" and "Secret of Kick". Now his power can more easily penetrate the outer hard protection and directly hit the inside.

The secret of kicking allowed Lu Cang to achieve a qualitative leap in all his combat skills related to kicking techniques.

Luluwei was also given the ice bow, and she liked it very much.

Regarding the Church of Death, Lu Cang also found top-secret files within the church, revealing that quite a few countries actually had connections with it...

Even Loren himself had officials secretly colluding with the Church of Death.

However, Loren's involvement was not at the official national level.

After receiving this intelligence, the Church of Life held frequent meetings, but this time was different from the past.

They did not intend to act immediately or carry out a swift and decisive crackdown.

Instead, they fell silent, as if nothing had happened.

Lu Cang had little interest in what the church was really up to.

……

12 month 31 day.

"I never imagined that a month of death and destruction would pass by like this."

It really was a peaceful month.

Ruijia was already severely weakened, but it was definitely not something Loren could do in a day or two if he wanted to devour such a large piece of meat.

Rather than directly conquering the enemy through war, Loren preferred to resolve the conflict gradually from within.

By directly poaching Ruijia's talent with offers, we can achieve victory without bloodshed and simultaneously strengthen our own capabilities...

I heard that quite a few people still died this month.

Lu Cang sat on a chair on the balcony, gazing up at the shattered night sky. Pure white had not truly descended, nor had the demons destroyed the country.

Finally, a year passed peacefully in this strange world.

The clock struck 0.

The moon and moon change.

The forgotten month has arrived.

First, the tattered sky gradually returned to its original state, and then it felt as if mist was drifting in from somewhere unknown.

In just over ten minutes, a thick, light pink fog formed.

It blocked the view.

January – Forgotten.

Yuechen: ?
Celestial phenomenon: Dense fog.

During this month, dense fog will blanket every corner of the world, affecting not only visibility but also perception.

All life will become incredibly forgetful.

At the same time, all records became extremely difficult to preserve this month.

Lu Cang casually picked up a piece of paper.

Write down: I am Lu Cang.

The line of text remained on the paper for about five seconds before gradually fading and disappearing.

Lu Cang thought for a moment and then took out a piece of wood.

Wind blades slashed out from it.

A mark was left behind, but it did not disappear.

Following that, Lu Cang used this mark as a base to carve words with wind blades.

However, shortly after these characters were left behind, the knife-like marks began to spread, eventually becoming blurred and unrecognizable.

Indeed, it's easy to forget.

Of all the months, the month of oblivion has the fewest descriptions.

There are few records of what exactly happens during the Forgotten Month, because memories from the Forgotten Month are difficult to carry over to other months.

It's also hard to recall what I saw during the Forgotten Month.

Lu Cang took out a golden notebook and a small, exquisite bottle of ink.

This is a special diary for the Forgotten Month. I heard that the trace-retaining paper and long-lasting ink can leave records during the Forgotten Month.

It's just ridiculously expensive; a single sheet of stain-removing paper costs 20 gold coins, and a small bottle of long-lasting ink costs 200 gold coins.

Ordinary people.

Even a level 4 adventurer would find it difficult to support such expenses.

Lu Cang wrote on the surviving paper: Regarding the relationship between the dungeon and the lair, I have ascertained the following...

Immediately afterwards, Lu Cang took out a notebook made of fire-writing paper and recorded some other information on it.

Everything is normal today...

After making two records, Lu Cang decided to go out for a walk.

Although it was already past midnight, it was the first day of the month, and Lu Cang still planned to learn more about it.

"Gentle Gust of Wind (Tier 2)"

Call ~
Lu Cang summoned the wind.

The wind blew through the fog, but it did not disperse it.

boom!
The next instant, Lu Cang raised his hand and unleashed a straight, powerful gust of wind!

It instantly blasted a cylindrical opening in the fog...

It seems that it can be dispersed.

Lu Cang's senses spread out, sweeping in all directions. His senses were not hindered by the fog, and his ultimate senses talent remained strong.

Swish!
Lu Cang teleported out and landed on the street outside the palace.

And that was just as it landed.

Lu Cang then sensed a faint fluctuation in the surrounding space.

Following their senses, they saw a gigantic creature, thirty meters tall, with its arms hanging down and a lifeless single eye in the center of its face.

I wandered through the wide streets of Knolloa as if in a dream!

bang——

Clang— Each step he took caused a slight tremor in the ground.

This is……

what's the situation?
Monsters? How could monsters possibly appear in a city?
Knoroya used demon-suppressing stones to create a protective barrier, preventing the monster tide from entering the city.

This is also why cities can exist.

Otherwise, monsters could spawn around you at any time, so how could you be safe?

No, it's not a monster.

The other party is a living being.

Let's find Iz first...

Faced with a creature whose strength was unknown and which appeared out of nowhere, Lu Cang had no intention of taking any risks lightly.

And just as this idea was forming in Lu Cang's mind.

Swish!
The next second, the enormous creature seemed to pass through an invisible portal.

It disappeared from Lu Cang's perception.

ha?
Lu Cang felt confused, but he still came to Iz's magnificent palace.

Iz came out wearing pajamas, still half asleep.

"Lu Cang, what's wrong?"

“Izzy, I just saw a huge monster…”

Iz yawned and said, "You mean the Dream Demon?"

"That is a special race that only appears during the Forgotten Moon. They appear in random locations as if sleepwalking, but they do not cause any casualties or damage."

"Ha~"

"Aren't you sleepy in the Forgotten Moon?" Iz asked, yawning.

Why am I sleepy?

"The first day of the Forgotten Month should be very sleepy..."

"Ha~~ Oh, you're a codebreaker, so you're not affected by this drowsiness." Iz yawned repeatedly.

"Is this drowsiness impossible to fight off?"

Iz yawned, "Ha... fighting is fine... but it won't hurt, so why not take this opportunity to get a good night's sleep?"

"Moreover, dreams can bring a lot of magical inspiration."

That is indeed...

In a state of high spirituality, dreams can bring a great deal of inspiration and enlightenment.

Many things that I can't understand when I'm awake become clear in my dreams.

"Are these dream ghosts really harmless?"

Iz: "Ha~~~~ Of course not, it disappears when you hit it, just like a bubble."

Lu Cang saw that Izzy was about to faint.

We've decided to end the discussion here.

"Understood, Master Iz."

Lu Cang said goodbye to Iz, who scratched her stomach and turned to go back to sleep.

It seems there's something I forgot to remind Lu Cang about?

Oh well... he should be able to handle it anyway, given his abilities.

so sleepy.

We arrived at the White Pagoda.

Many scholars were found to fall asleep right there on their desks.

Pali also collapsed in an inconspicuous corner.

Ha, you wicked fortune teller, you've finally met your match.

Pali's mental state was calm; she was indeed asleep.

Lu Cang walked over and was about to poke Pali's face with his finger when he saw a pair of eyes open.

Parly stared at herself.

"Ha, ha... Sister Pali, you're awake? I have some questions I'd like to ask you..."

Lu Cang asked about some trivial matters.

It cost 200,000 gold coins.

Then, Parly lowered her head and continued to sleep.

Evil fortune teller...

After chatting with Parly, Lu Cang forgot why he had come to the White Tower in the first place.

I'm really forgetful.

The influence of the moon cannot be easily eliminated.

Even powerful beings are still affected by the month they live in. For example, Kumironi's healing abilities are greatly reduced in the month of his death.

And the effects of forgetting are even more difficult to counteract.

Lu Cang took out a piece of white paper.

There was nothing recorded on the blank paper; it was completely empty.

However, Lu Cang still used "God-level Information Tracing" to restore the information that was originally left on the paper.

"Go to the higher levels of the White Pagoda"

Oh yes.

He wanted to take advantage of the time when almost everyone was asleep and no one was paying attention to go up to the upper floors of the White Tower.

Lu Cang went all the way up to the fifth floor.

Immediately afterwards, he easily broke the sixth layer of restrictions.

Upon reaching the sixth floor, the main color scheme of the White Pagoda changes.

Lu Cang had already scanned the area with his senses beforehand, so he wasn't surprised by the change.

Starting from the sixth layer, the colors become a mixture of black and white, like a cow's coat, instead of pure white.

In the very center of the space were two books chained together, and a scroll.

This book cannot be opened without Level 6 access.

But Lu Cang can also break this restriction.

Lu Cang glanced at it only once before continuing upwards.

The seventh floor.

It was already a chaotic and filthy mess.

Who would have thought that the White Tower, known for its pure white color, would be so dirty at its upper levels?

"A Theory of Time" and "An Introduction to Spacetime"

These two books, sealed in the very center of the seventh layer, are rare books on time studies, and are the knowledge that Lu Cang currently lacks most when he is about to become a prophet.

Lu Cang walked toward the two books.

At the same time, the Level 7 forbidden-touch restriction on the book is lifted.

Open the book.

Make a copy of it.

The words on the photocopy paper flashed by and then disappeared.

But Lu Cang didn't care.

Instead, they continued to photocopy page by page.

In the end, the entire book was printed.

Holding the blank papers in his hands, Lu Cang's mind replayed the words that had flashed by when he first made the copies.

"God-level Information Tracing"

Every trace that has been erased can be reproduced.

Lu Cang looked up again.

The eighth and ninth floors were empty, and there were no restrictions preventing anyone from going up.

The White Tower in the kingdom of Loren has reached its limit at the seventh floor.

After all, there aren't many scholars with such a high level of expertise.

After taking the two books, Lu Cang turned and left.

No one should know that I'm here.

……

Back at the mansion, Lu Cang couldn't help but think of An Zheng.

Was An Zheng also writing in his diary at this time?
After thinking for a moment, Lu Cang opened a beautifully bound diary and wrote: My name is Lu Cang. I am a transmigrator from Earth who traveled to this world. Before transmigrating, I seem to have experienced an airport explosion. My father's name is Lu Zhenghang, and my mother's name is Li Youxiang...

As Lu Cang wrote down line after line of text.

These words also disappeared.

Lu Cang felt that many of his memories from his past life were becoming blurred, as he was forgetting things too easily.

If things continue like this, perhaps after staying in this world for a few years, I might completely forget that I am a transmigrator.

Lu Cang did not want his only memories of his hometown to disappear.

Lu Cang kept writing.

I wrote a lot.

First, it describes the situation before the time travel, and then it recounts the experiences of the author in the previous life, starting from childhood, in a flashback style.

Fortunately, he possessed a high level of spirituality, and Lu Cang recalled many things from his past life that he couldn't remember clearly.

However, due to his extremely high spirituality, Lu Cang could sense that many of his memories were gradually fading away.

……

I started recording late at night, thinking as I wrote.

As I tried to recall the details I couldn't remember, the thick fog outside the window had already been filled with light by the time I came to my senses.

It's already morning.

As for his past life, he has already filled two thick diaries...

"That should be enough..."

Lu Cang really couldn't recall anything else he had missed.

Reaching out to touch these two diaries, information flowed into my mind like a trickle.

Lu Cang locked the two blank diaries in a box, sealed it with a protective seal, and put it into his most private storage bag.

"It's already noon..."

"Sigh, I'll just sleep tonight."

Lu Cang went out again, intending to go to the dungeon to farm some monsters...

Doing research during the forgotten months is incredibly torturous; you forget things all the time, and an idea that just pops into your head is forgotten the very next moment.

What's more troublesome is that some sudden feelings simply cannot be recorded in writing, and even if there is information to trace their origin, it is still difficult to record them.

This month is destined to be a month of research stagnation.

However, besides research, there are other things to do.

Lu Cang flew for about 20,000 kilometers and arrived at a desolate wilderness.

Lu Cang also had a clear understanding of his own strength.

The "source of calamity" was summoned.

At the same time, Lu Cang waved his hand and scattered countless materials, arranging them on the ground to form a complex ritual.

A dense horde of monsters swept towards this side.

I've learned quite a few interesting rituals, but I didn't dare use them during the month of death. Now that it's the month of oblivion, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The monster tide gathered, and the dungeon was formed.

Lu Cang looked at the level 6 dungeon in front of him, a dungeon of the evil nest type.

Now that he possesses so many Tier 6 life-saving items, and the dungeon before him has not yet undergone sacrifice, he can withstand the level of danger. Even if he encounters a Tier 6 Subterranean monster, he can escape immediately.

This judgment about whether he could escape was not based on Lu Cang's pure confidence.

Rather, it was something they had practiced many times before with Akari during the month of their deaths using the "Source of Calamity".

Upon encountering the Sunken Land-level monster, Lu Cang immediately attempted to escape.

The effect was remarkable; they all escaped.

At least in terms of survival capabilities, things are completely different now.

　Lu Cang won't stay 8 years old forever. Time will keep moving forward, and the length of certain months in the story may not be too long, depending on what important plot points are in that month.
