I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

Lu Yuan looked at the words and couldn't help but smile. If things continued like this, he would truly become a "taboo".

The last time I acquired such a skill was in Grim Harbor.

That time, everyone else forgot, but he remembered, and so he became a witness.

This time, it was Bronze City's turn.

Immediately afterwards, another line of text appeared.

[Current Status of the Oris Empire: +2...4/110]

The increase wasn't much, only two points, but what concerned Lu Yuan was that the upper limit of the current state of the Oris Empire had actually increased from the original one hundred to one hundred and eleven.

Clearly, in the original timeline, Bronze City may have already collapsed, thus affecting the future of the entire empire.

But Lu Yuan's actions seem to have twisted her original fate.

He continued looking down.

[Rationality: 140/140]

His rationality had been fully restored at some point; clearly, he had only just communicated with Hope, and his rationality had been completely restored in a very short time.

Unfortunately, it seems that hope cannot be taken away; otherwise, Lu Yuan would have liked to take a root of hope with him.

Ah, speaking of which, Lu Yuan suddenly realized, could he perhaps scrape off a layer of bark from Hope, or pry off a couple of leaves? Making a potion from that might have unexpected effects.

I can talk to Xiwang later.

Then, large amounts of text began to appear before Lu Yuan's eyes.

[Taboo Studies - Scholar: +2.1...2.1/5]

Lu Yuan stared at the line, stunned. He hadn't expected the experience points to be added so quickly; he had thought he would have to wait a while.

But why 2.1?

What Lu Yuan didn't know was that within that sea of ​​knowledge, the verdant greenery was being constantly eroded.

The figure within has already attracted the attention of a pair of eyes deep in the ocean.

And at the very moment those eyes appeared, Lu Yuan's experience arrived as expected.

Clearly, being dragged into the sea of ​​knowledge by taboos is likely to end badly.

Of course, Lu Yuan was unaware of this.

The following text came one after another.

[Defense II: +4...34/50]

[Advanced - Mysterious Inscription: +5.5...45/50]

【Mysterious Alchemy: +6...24/50】

[Advanced Healing: +17.2...35/50]

[Pharmaceutical Science: +5.7...8.7/50]

[Ancient Music Theory: +6...23/50]

[Imperial Language: 299/1000]

[Rationality Barrier: 3/3]

[The Hidden Witness: 1/1]

[A Fate That Doesn't Exist: 1/1]

Lu Yuan scanned through them one by one.

Defense and Inscription were earned at great personal risk during this great battle. Medical items saw the biggest increase this time; all the medicines he'd prepared and the people he'd treated along the way were included.

Alchemy and medicine also benefited from the profits.

As for Ancient Music Theory and Imperial Language, he was progressing at a leisurely pace. In particular, he seemed to be stuck on Imperial Language. For some reason, Lu Yuan was no longer getting any experience points when he looked at ordinary books.

However, Lu Yuan still doesn't understand why the Imperial Language has such a high experience value.

The last line to appear was that one.

Your connection with the sea of ​​knowledge seems to have deepened; hopefully, you can find your place here...

In the depths of my left eye, the sea drew closer.

This was not an illusion; from the moment he pushed open that door until now, he had indeed taken another step closer to that sea.

Nothing was missing.

Lu Yuan put away the words in front of him and glanced back.

Beneath the tree, the giant insect lay quietly. Where the roots met the core, golden light still shone intermittently.

The rain, I don't know when, has lessened quite a bit.

Klaus looked at Lu Yuan, who seemed a little dazed, and quickly stepped forward.

"Is Rick alright now?" he asked as he stepped forward.

Klaus frowned slightly.

He saw that the tree of hope, which had already grown, was actually merging with Rick's body.

No matter how you look at it, it's a bit eerie.

Klaus breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this reply.

Although the current situation is very strange, at least Rick's life is saved, isn't it?

At the same time, Lu Yuan also felt a faint sense of fatigue creeping over him.

Clearly, he needs to rest.

Klaus seemed to sense his drowsiness and gestured that there was a room ready over there.

Lu Yuan nodded, got up and left.

He has done everything he was supposed to do.

How much of his recovery and mastery he can achieve depends on his own efforts.

After lying down in his room, Lu Yuan quickly fell into a deep sleep.

He didn't know how long he slept.

It wasn't until dawn that Lu Yuan opened his eyes, stared at the unfamiliar roof beams for a few moments, and then fully woke up. His body still felt somewhat heavy, clearly not fully recovered, but his mind was clear.

Moreover, there were quite a few noises outside the door.

Lu Yuan got up, pushed open the door, and went out.

As soon as the sky brightened, the open space outside was already full of people.

The entrance to the branch's underground shelter was completely open, and the night watchmen lined up in two rows to escort the shelter's residents out in batches.

Those who had been underground for a long time had just emerged from the ground and looked up to see the light of day; many of them froze in place.

One of the elderly men was helped out. He squinted at the scene for a long time, then suddenly brushed away the hand that was helping him and knelt down in the direction of the inner city.

Judging from the looks of it, his family members must have died in the chaos.

Many teenagers cried and tried to break out of the line, but were held down by the watchmen.

Unable to struggle, they burst into loud sobs. The cries continued, one after another, forming a continuous chorus.

But most people just stood there, staring blankly at the devastated Bronze City.

Bronze City was saved, and those who could be saved survived. But their homes were all gone.

But no matter what, it's good that people are alive; if the family is too big, we can always rebuild it.

Lu Yuan stood on the periphery of the crowd and watched for a while.

He had seen things far worse than this.

The entire town of Grimham sank into the sea, and tens of thousands of people perished without a single survivor.

At least we still have each other here, and we can rebuild our home.

Compared to that, the crying in front of me isn't such a bad thing.

"It's good that you cried."

Klaus appeared beside Lu Yuan at some point.

He looked a little haggard, but at least he was alright.

Lu Yuan glanced at him. Clearly, Klaus hadn't closed his eyes while he was resting.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was a mess. As he spoke to Lu Yuan, he raised his hand to direct the residents to be relocated in batches to the temporary sheds erected nearby.

Not far away, Bohr, Dunn, and others were also busy in the crowd, constantly helping and supporting residents, and carrying things.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, Bo Er raised his hand from a distance as a greeting, then turned back to help tidy up.

"Are there enough people to rebuild?" Lu Yuan asked.
