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

Chapter 208 Doomsday
Don't let a bunch of prophecies predicting prosperity and good fortune lead you to pessimism.

Lu Cang didn't show much surprise upon seeing the prophecy; he simply sighed softly.

I still managed to get myself into trouble.

The good news is that there are still 28 days until the end of the world.

I have plenty of time to escape.

Another piece of good news is that prophecies may not necessarily come true.

The principle of doomsday prophets is to make prophecies and to fulfill them.

Rather than a prophecy, what they issued was more like a proclamation.

It's like a phantom thief issuing a warning before stealing something; such warnings are naturally more inaccurate than actual prophecies.

"Since we're already rehearsing the future... it seems too foolish to just think about running away."

Although I like to survive, I'm not so desperate as to run away 29 days in advance for something that's uncertain.

If you really can't escape, it won't matter if you lose a day or two.

If I can really run away, I won't mind running a day or two less.

Anyway...

Swish!
Lu Cang stepped out and reappeared outside the city of Knoloa.

I originally planned to use the time during the future rehearsal period to do more things that involved stealing knowledge.

It turned out that it seemed that Knoloa had already been borrowed by him, including the White Tower, the Church, the Forbidden Library, and even the combat techniques of the Battle Academy.

In the end, there was no knowledge left in the entire city that he could steal.

To think that it could be touched so cleanly... Lu Cang couldn't help but feel a little impressed.

Swah——

The original plan was to avoid excessive intervention in any potential events.

Lu Cang naturally decided not to show his face everywhere.

Instead, he found a dark, quiet room, without disturbing anyone, and took out a book titled "The Ten Forbidden Spells of the Beginning" from his storage space.

Now that I possess the "God-level Complete Law," I no longer faint from reading books, and I can now read those forbidden books that were previously inaccessible in Loren.

I've been busy researching the root cause lately and haven't had time to delve into these things, and I can't show them to Yuna anyway.

After all, he was immune to knowledge pollution, but Yuna was not.

It wouldn't be good if Yuna turned into some random tentacle monster. But Yuna's intense absorption of knowledge is also a bit worrying.

After all, there are quite a few scholars who have learned too much and have inexplicably come into contact with forbidden knowledge. Although they are not combat professions, their actual mortality rate is not much lower than that of combat professions.

Often, I feel like this book is a bit strange, so I only glance at it, and if I encounter any problems, I immediately stop reading. But after glancing at it twice, it seems fine? At least I should finish reading the whole page...

Ok.

By the time they come to their senses, they should be covered in hair and their flesh and blood should have turned into tentacles.

"Forbidden magic."

Fire-writing paper appeared in Lu Cang's hand. The firelight flashed, leaving only very faint writing.

Never mind, as long as there are traces, it's fine.

Since it was a preview of the future, Lu Cang didn't intend to ask for too much. Experiencing the future directly was already impressive enough.

Therefore, future rehearsals can even be used to save time.

Even if you don't use it to rehearse what will happen on a future day, but simply spend an entire day studying, it's like splitting a piece of time into three.

Others have 24 hours in a day, but I have 72 hours.

It really is three times the effort of others.

I guess I'm the kind of person my teachers used to describe when I was a kid—a genius who studied for 72 hours a day.

clatter--

clatter--

clatter--

As time goes by, the "First Forbidden Spells" in the "Ten First Forbidden Spells" are not something that can be easily deciphered.

The decryption difficulty level is 7.

I am currently only a Level 4 Decryption Scholar, and I still need to meet many other requirements to complete the puzzle.

However, knowing about this book beforehand will definitely help in solving the mystery.

After roughly going through the entire book, Lu Cang felt that his spirituality had been polluted, but the pollution did not really seep in; instead, it was absorbed as pure knowledge.

"So this is what pollution feels like..."

Pollution can be absorbed into spirituality.

The creator of this book is a person named "Night Moth," whose location points to the Moon Sea, suggesting he was a high-level magician.

It's probably around level 7.

The book itself is somewhat related to "roots and origins".

These are all quite complex things.

Who would have thought that some things we encounter in our daily lives point to various origins?

Having read through the entire book, but lacking the means to decipher it, Lu Cang didn't continue reading.

Instead, he found several ancient books of spatial magic and learned those incomplete spatial magic spells that normal people could not learn.

I wonder if learning in a rehearsed future will be of any use?

But magic is the embodiment of knowledge and its application.

Even without ever touching a spellbook after reincarnation, one can still use magic directly after obtaining the mage rank.

In other words, all you need is knowledge about this.

"Spatial Fragmentation (Tier 5) (LV: 401)"

"Frozen Space (Level 5) (LV: 401)"

"Closed Space (Tier 5) (LV: 401)"

"Spatial Scale Transformation (Fifth Order) (LV: 401)"

"Flash of Light (Tier 5) (LV: 401)"

In addition to ancient spatial magic, Lu Cang also learned modern spatial magic.

Lu Cang naturally also mastered the existing spatial magic of teleportation.

However, compared to Root Magic, Blink can only teleport oneself and cannot change the position of objects or move others.

Ultimately, it's still far inferior to primal magic.

Learning spatial magic also requires a step of deciphering, translating, and understanding ancient magic books.

Most importantly, it's about completing the legal framework.

Completing these laws is not something that can be done in an instant. The first thing you will feel when you learn these spells is a spell idea forming in your mind, but it is incomplete without certain laws.

Afterwards, the missing spell will naturally grow and be completed as the talent comes into play.

The fundamental laws that one lacks will be replenished along with the completion of the spell.

It's not like ordinary magic that you can learn at a glance. Learning an ancient spatial spell now takes at least ten minutes...

It's a pretty strange feeling.

It's like being used to having two arms and two legs, but gradually discovering that the ultimate form of a human is ten arms and ten legs, each with its own unique function. Now, in the process of rediscovering these functions, arms and legs are growing back at the same time.

And only after these things grew did I realize how incomplete I had been before.

Lu Cang's research is in-depth.

But suddenly, a premonition came to him, and the Void Spirit Ring Star Spear appeared in his hand.

Lu Cang suddenly extended his senses toward the direction of the palace.

At the same time, layers of shields around his body were activated.

"Fifth-tier Root Magic: The Unchanging Art of Eternity"

This is Anzheng's source magic.

Lu Cang instantly cast layers of indestructible shields around himself, and after each shield was released, another layer was immediately added.

Because the shield won't disappear.

So you can keep wearing it.

Just to be on the safe side, I put 100,000 layers on top of each other...

When I put the top on the back, it was getting too big to fit.

Lu Cangcai stopped with regret.

But then I thought about it...

They raised their spears.

"Deep Condensation Barrier (Tier 5) (LV: 401) - Stacked condensation, massive barrier, extremely high hardness, invisible and transparent, its strength increases with the infusion of magic power, can be stacked to create more, absorbs magic power, absorbs impact."

Swish!
Rows of barriers appeared in the sky, covering the entire dome.

I can't let go of anyone else around me...

Let's set up our defenses there.

I wonder if this level of defense will be effective against an 8th-level mage.

Even if it's nothing, it's better than nothing. At least it will give me some more time to hold on and see what happens.

Swah——

At the same time, Lu Cang's five cores flew out in five different directions. This time, none of the cores were in offensive mode; they were all in defensive mode.

At the same time, a total of ten "Sources" also began to swirl around him.

Be ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

Time: 23:55.

There are only 5 minutes left until Knowledge Month ends.

An Zheng's death is likely only 30 minutes away.

call--

The wind began to rise irrationally.

This is not a natural wind, but a magical storm formed by the convergence of magical power.

As Lu Cang ascended to the sky, he saw the thick magical energy forming like a storm vortex.

The total amount of this magic is far greater than my own.

Even the mere gathering of magic was enough to lift the distant secret sea high into the air—

A bolt of lightning blasted a purple crack across the clear night sky!
The bright, azure moon gradually began to sink.

The brilliance of the stars was obscured.

Lu Cang's senses are focused on the mainland!
But suddenly——

boom!
But then they saw two different figures, each appearing high in the sky.

One was a man with slightly curly brown hair, wearing sunglasses and a somewhat modern jacket, with his hands in his pockets, blowing bubble gum.

The other person had long black hair and his entire body was wrapped in bandages, with only half of his face showing.

Judging from how tightly he's wrapped up and how little chest he has, he must be a man.

"Who are you?" The brown-haired man blew a bubble gum and looked at the black-haired, bandaged man beside him.

The black-haired man didn't speak, but merely glanced coldly at the brown-haired man.

The brown-haired man blew the bubbles even bigger.

"Why are you acting all high and mighty? I can tell you're one of my accomplices. Aren't you going to say hello?"

"Ah."

How can we communicate without giving prior notice?

"My profession is a bit special. If you don't speak up, don't blame me for holding you back when a fight breaks out."

The black-haired, bandaged man's face twitched.

"The Church of Death, First Executor, Samu."

Curly-haired man: "Oh?"

"You're the one from Samu?"

"I've heard about it for so long, but this is the first time I've ever seen it! Haha! I thought those mummy-like characters only existed in comedy comics!"

"Oh, do you know comics? They're a form of entertainment in our country now."

Samu's wrinkled face twitched violently.

What exactly is this guy doing here?

“You still haven’t said who you are,” Sa Mu said coldly.

"Oh, so you want to know who I am."

The bandages on Sa's tomb were clenched tightly.

I think we should probably take you down before we take down Izparut.

The brown-haired, curly-haired man said, "My name is Roya."

"The profession is Level 8 Chaos Devious One. Never heard of it? It's the only profession with secret scrolls."

Samu paused for a moment.

Level 8... Only one profession?

This was the first time I'd ever heard of such a person. It seems An Zheng really did hire someone extraordinary.

"You're here to kill Izparut and Kumironi too?"

Luo Ya: "Haha, no, I'm not here to kill anyone. I just owe An Zheng a favor. He asked me to protect him, and I had no choice but to come. You have to repay a favor when you owe someone."

"Of course, if he wants to kill An Zheng, I will definitely help him."

Luo Ya glanced at it.

"But aren't these ordinary people a bit innocent?"

Swish!
He raised his hand.

Lu Cang's pupils contracted!

All that could be seen was that the entire vast continent of Ruilun had completely vanished in an instant.

The original continent is now just a deep, mysterious sea.

The Secret Sea is like a huge reservoir that has been hollowed out, with seawater continuously flowing back into it.

“There’s another one in the sky,” Sa Mu said coldly.

"that……"

Luo Ya raised his head and met Lu Cang's gaze.

puff--

When the bubble popped, he seemed to pause for a moment, but quickly flashed a bright and cheerful smile and waved to Lu Cang.

...What are you saying to me?
"It doesn't really matter if we ignore that," Roya said casually.

Sa Mu, who had originally intended to kill Lu Cang on the spot, suddenly paused and inexplicably felt that it didn't really matter.

So he gave up on the idea.

Lu Cang had absolutely no desire to fight against an existence that could move an entire continent with a mere wave of its hand.

You can probably guess the outcome of the battle even with your toes.

Rather than rushing in and getting instantly killed, it's better to pretend you know nothing and quietly be a spectator.

Before being wiped out by the aftermath, try to gather as much information as possible.

Level 8, this should be the chaotic charlatan Roya mentioned in Anzheng's notes.

The other one, named Samu, is on par with him and should also be level 8.

We've really stirred up a fire.

Unexpectedly, two people suddenly came to our aid on this day.

Iz is a magician, not a fortune teller.

He couldn't have foreseen this change in advance.

At this moment, the palace where Izparut was located was moved.

Standing amidst the magical whirlwind, the wind billowed the brim of the magician's hat, partially obscuring his face.

"Three level 8 professionals."

"A very interesting enemy."

Izparut's right hand revealed a magic staff, while her left hand raised the brim of a magician's hat.

An Zheng, standing to the side, also rose with his withered body.

A radiant magic wand appeared in his hand.

This is his signature magic wand, and also his greatest masterpiece among magic wands.

“Izparut!” His aged voice, however, sounded loud and clear as magic surged within it.

“I admit, you may indeed be a stronger mage than me now.”

"Because my body is decaying and rotting, and my life is nearing its end, everything is not as good as before."

"But your mistake lies in..."

"You think I'm all alone."

"You never imagined that I had traveled all over the world and made so many friends and relatives."

Izparut: "The friends and relatives you're talking about, are they the guys from the Church of Death?"

Anzheng: "Iz, one day, you too will rely on such power..."

"When life comes to an end, you will also try to embrace death."

Sa Mu took a step and walked to An Zheng's side.

His hand rested on An Zheng's body, and he saw his decaying skin peeling off like a scab, turning gray and falling away, while fair new skin gradually grew on his body.

“Izparut…”

Do you think you can still stop me now?

Iz simply shook her head with a calm expression.

He raised his left hand: "Sixth-tier Root Magic, Source Essence Stripping."
