Chapter 259 True Level 5

While setting up the ceremony, Lu Cang asked calmly, "Why did you interrupt my promotion?"

"It wasn't so much an interruption as I happened to intercept the soul you offered as a sacrifice."

"Therefore, your promotion did not happen."

Lu Cang: "So, where is my soul?"

"Of course it will be used by me."

"It's a pity that it fell into your hands before I even had a chance to use it."

Although Ansu cannot move freely, Lu Cang still gives it the right to speak.

"You said you're not at your peak, so if you get my souls, how much of your strength will you regain?"

An Su calmly replied, "Less than one-tenth, probably half of what it was when it temporarily recovered to its peak."

Its emotions are fluctuating.

But at this moment, its emotions seemed very strange to Lu Cang; it appeared to have entered a playful state of mind.

Compared to the souls of other beings, it is as insignificant as a wisp of smoke, as fragile as if it could be held in the palm of your hand.

Ansu's soul was extremely condensed, almost like a real physical form.

It is cohesive yet not scattered, with every detail clearly visible.

If it weren't for the significant difference in their auras, one wouldn't even be able to tell whether it was a soul or a real person.

The ritual for becoming a Death Priest has been restarted.

Lu Cang breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the previous job change ceremony wasn't completed, otherwise I would have been able to change jobs directly without even doing anything and having my soul stolen.

It's like you're just spinning your wheels without any progress; you haven't been able to successfully change jobs.

Now that all professions have perfect job changes, Lu Cang still has a strong obsessive-compulsive tendency about it...

Moreover, a perfect job change seems to be a prerequisite for reaching level 9.

If you fail to achieve a perfect job change in any previous step, you can forget about reaching level 9 in this life.

And the profession of Death Priest.

Lu Cang believes that this is the second profession he has the best chance of reaching level 9.

It's hard to say about other deciphering scholars, warriors, and prophets, but the Death Priest is indeed a perfect fit for the role.

The class I think is most likely to reach level 9 is the mage.

A mage's advancement is not affected by any other profession, and they can complete their own source and laws. The difficulty of advancing to level 9 should be much less than the current predicament faced by mages.

hum!
The source of death was formed again in the heavens.

Lu Cang silently made a wish in his heart, without letting An Su hear it.

Lu Cang glanced behind him to make sure the guy wouldn't interfere, then raised his hand and began slowly offering his soul to the sky.

This time, Lu Cang did not release it all at once.

Instead, it releases the soul slowly in units of tens of thousands. If Ansu behind him suddenly attacks, he immediately stops to counterattack. In this way, even if the other party wants to intercept his soul, he won't be able to intercept much of it.

"Heh, they're quite cautious indeed."

Lu Cang's voice was young, but it also sounded extremely serious: "Well, I usually like to take it slow."

Are you really a child?

"Or perhaps, someone who has received the reincarnation I have passed down?"

Lu Cang proceeded slowly and steadily, continuously offering sacrifices to the souls.

Hearing An Su's words, he calmly replied, "Reincarnation?"

"what is that?"

Ansu: "This is the path I pioneered..."

"It is also the final proof that I have become a Level 9 Death Master."

"You are interested in?"

"Hmm, I'm somewhat interested. Tell me about it." Lu Cang's tone remained calm, maintaining this demeanor to prevent the other party from figuring out his true thoughts.

Apart from that, any other deliberate emotional fluctuations may actually lead the other party to a lot of useful analysis.

"You should also be able to sense that life and death are closely related."

"Only with life can there be death."

"But does death necessarily mean life?"

What constitutes the existence of life? And what comes after death?

Ansu’s tone was calm, yet it carried a captivating allure.

Lu Cang adjusted his breathing rhythm, trying not to be influenced by its words.

It seems we need to be careful about what the other person says; they probably studied some kind of linguistics that makes their language more appealing.

However, this has limited appeal.

It poses no threat to me.

"Between life and death, there exists a spirit of the dead. It has lost almost all its memories of its past life, leaving only the instincts of a spirit of the dead..."

"It is a state of being dead."

"Death seems to be the loss of everything."

"But death does leave something behind after all."

……

Lu Cang maintained the sacrifice of his soul while listening to An Su's story.

This was the first time I had ever heard a sermon about death; previous discussions had mostly focused on the origins of magic…

Aside from that, the Prophet, Warrior, and Decipherer don't have much interaction among these three professions.

Although Akari is a warrior.

However, his teaching ability is truly worrying.

In short, it's all about groaning and moaning; great force leads to miracles, muscles connect to the brain, and intuition replaces thought.

The first step in learning combat skills from him is to empty your mind.

Sigh... This kind of learning style is simply not suitable for Lu Cang.

Now, we finally hear explanations of other fields besides magic.

Death... is the embers of the living, the fading glow of life, the end of everything, a privilege enjoyed only by those who have lived.

Some of the viewpoints are quite novel.

In particular, the points raised by Ansu.

It actually believes that death itself is a grand ceremony.

This ritual begins the moment one is born. Everything one does in this life is preparation for the final death. The final death is the answer sheet handed in by this life.

An easy death, as light as a feather.

A profound and magnificent death is an interpretation of oneself.

Ansu discusses death, analyzes different types of death, and... the meaning of death.

Ultimately, everything will be interpreted as a convergence of all streams.

Leading to—reincarnation. Life is the beginning of death, and death is the beginning of reincarnation, which is the beginning of new life.

Everything has a beginning and an end!
There exists a bridge that connects everything. Once found, the cycle of life and death continues endlessly, leading to eternal life!
……

Lu Cang felt a sudden realization dawn on him!

I feel that my understanding of death and reincarnation has deepened considerably.

After Ansu finished speaking, she seemed quite satisfied with her speech, revealing a faint, arrogant smile: "So? Do you find reincarnation interesting?"

"If you want me to teach you the method of life and death and reincarnation, that's not impossible."

"From now on, you and I will both live forever, transcending everything in this world."

"Don't worry, I won't hold it against you for trapping me."

"Such a small ripple is nothing more than a tiny splash in the long river of my life."

Lu Cang looked at the sky.

After Ansu finished spouting all that, the continuous output of soul sacrifices had almost been completed, reaching a total of 48 billion.

This process has already lasted for an hour and a half.

There's not much time left before the event ends.

The promotion must be completed in this last bit of time...

"No, I have no interest in reincarnation."

"I only believe in being invincible in this life. Regardless of whether there is reincarnation, as long as I am invincible in this life, that is enough."

Just kidding...

It's simply because I've been reincarnated.

Lu Cang directly copied this line from the novel "Covering the Sky".

Hearing Lu Cang's calm response, An Su was slightly taken aback, but quickly smiled and said, "Interesting."

"He has spirit."

“I have seen many geniuses like you, and there are also many geniuses who disdain my method of reincarnation.”

"Unfortunately, many people came to me for help at the end of their lives."

Life is fleeting, and a lifetime is too short.

"If one does not strive for eternal life, how much can one accomplish?"

"How can a few hundred or a thousand years of arduous cultivation compare to... millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years of accumulation?"

Lu Cang remained silent, simply gazing at the sky.

Of course I know that.

I have never been arrogant enough to think that I am better than everyone else; I only believe that I am a little bit invincible.

"I have lived up to the principles of death."

hum!
This time, spiritual feedback came!

Lu Cang looked up and ascended into the sky, bathing and being baptized.

Lu Cang felt his spiritual energy surging back into his body.

My level of control and understanding over all my talents has improved.

At the same time, he also found that his control over Ansu had become more secure.

Seeing Lu Cang ascend to receive a spiritual baptism and feedback from the source of death, An Su's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Oh...you're so insightful."

"I see. It seems I misjudged him."

"Your background is quite extraordinary."

Lu Cang looked up at the entire sky.

It felt like the entire world had been restructured after I reached level 5 Death Priest; this place was not a normal space after all.

It seems that one can vaguely see the flow of time.

This feeling is truly amazing. Is this really a perspective that three-dimensional beings can have?

In that instant, Lu Cang understood why, when moving at high speed, he felt as if he had moved for a full second, but in reality, only half a second had passed.

Today, we can see with our own eyes that as we move, the scale of time is also being stretched.

Seeing it with your own eyes is truly intuitive.

Could this be the theory of relativity in another world?
This discovery will likely lead to the publication of several more research articles on the White Pagoda.

"You say I have an extraordinary background? Then tell me, what is my background?"

An Su was not fooled by Lu Cang's words, but chuckled and said, "It seems you don't know your own origins."

"Since you don't know, this is my bargaining chip in negotiations with you."

That old guy.

It really is; it's become sentient.

Lu Cang: "This is nothing to me. I know my own background, of course."

"However, if you're willing to treasure this, I don't mind."

Lu Cang touched himself again using the Hidden Origin.

The result was that she was still born to her mother.

What is my origin?

My origins are that I am an Earthling. I don't know if I transmigrated here or was randomly teleported... My home may be in the astral plane or some small world.

The talent has a location name, but it doesn't indicate where it points.

This is the origin that Lu Cang himself now knows.

The Death Priest class change is complete, and I am now a level 5 Death Priest.

Lu Cang slowly fell from his ascendant state, as if he had descended from a god back to a mortal. Lu Cang's eyes were like torches as he met An Su's gaze.

"Ansu".

When An Su was summoned by Lu Cang, she suddenly felt a sense of unease and trembling throughout her soul.

Up until now, An Su had not felt much of a threat from Lu Cang.

Death is just death.

For ordinary people, death is indeed the end of life.

For this level 9 Death Master, death is not its final end...

If Lu Cang kills it.

It was also a kind of fulfillment for it; this performance of life could be considered to have come to an end in Lu Cang's hands.

An answer sheet killed by someone else, with a farcical and absurd ending, serves as the interpretation of its life, nothing more.

But if we're talking about threats?
Haha, it's really hard to say.

However, at this moment, even though he had only completed a promotion from level 4 to level 5, the aura emanating from Lu Cang when he looked at him again was completely different.

The experience gained over the years has taught Ansu.

Now, I must deal with him carefully.
