Chapter 385: Chapter 385 - 206: Divine Level Future Projection (Part 2)

← Ch. 384 All Chapters Ch. 386

Lu Cang felt his Spirituality become somewhat depleted.

It would take some time to recover.

Until then, his cognitive abilities would be diminished.

Besides, he hadn’t seen anything particularly meaningful. ’It seems I’ll have to use it in conjunction with a Divination Skill.’

’But when it comes to Divination Skills, I don’t know any besides the Heavenly Destiny Theorem Technique. Looks like I’ll have to go and learn one.’

’With the Prophet Profession, I’ll be able to perform my own Divinations in the future.’

’I won’t need to rely on Pari for Divinations anymore. I’ve finally escaped the clutches of that black-hearted Divination Master.’

Lu Cang didn’t forget to politely thank Kumironi. "Thank you, Sister Kumironi, for helping me with all my advancements."

"Nonsense. You’ve helped me a lot too, Little Lu Cang. This was no trouble at all."

’Polite children are just so endearing.’

’I’m willing to help Little Lu Cang because it’s always so rewarding, I suppose.’

Kumironi felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

Everything was calm after he completed the Profession change.

Lu Cang didn’t linger outside. He headed straight home, sat on his bed, and closed his eyes.

’Home is a relatively safe place. With the layers of Restrictions I’ve set up, it’s my home turf. If a crisis were to break out, I’d have a significant advantage fighting here.’

His Spirituality had almost fully recovered.

An hour and a half after the Profession change, his Spirituality had gradually become abundant again.

’Now that I’ve recovered, it’s time to test the Talent’s effect.’

Lu Cang focused his mind on March 31st, and with a mere thought...

WHOOSH!

He opened his eyes again.

Lu Cang found himself looking at the streets of Kernoya. The sun was setting, about to dip behind the mountains.

Lu Cang casually took out his pocket watch.

The watch displayed not only the hours, minutes, and seconds, but also the date.

’It’s March 31st. I’ve really arrived on this day.’

’This Talent really lets a person travel through time to preview a future scene.’

Then, Lu Cang checked his own condition.

All of his abilities were exactly the same as they were before the Future Preview; nothing had been added or lost.

The only difference was that he had lost the ability to use his Future Preview Talent.

’So I can’t use a Future Preview within a Future Preview?’

’At my rate of growth, even without an Upgrade or a new Divine Talent, I should have learned at least one new Root Magic in the span of nearly a month.’

’It seems I really can’t find out about my own future abilities.’

’It seems all Divine Level abilities related to Destiny work by showing the world’s changes, while excluding any changes to one’s own destiny.’

Lu Cang checked the items in his Storage Bag. Its contents, however, had changed.

’Let’s see what I left for myself.’

Lu Cang probed it with his Perception, only to find that his future self hadn’t left anything with important clues.

’But if it were me—knowing that my past self might use Future Preview to see this day—I would definitely have left behind plenty of records and clues.’

’Is it because this is the first time I’m using it, so it’s showing me an unaltered outcome?’

Lu Cang directed his Perception elsewhere.

He intended to find records of the past—yesterday, the day before, anything he could.

He found newspapers in someone’s house. The family who lived there kept them neatly stacked in chronological order.

WHOOSH!

While the family was out, Lu Cang slipped into their room and began flipping through the newspapers, only to find the text was a complete blur.

’It won’t let me see?’

With a flicker of his thoughts, Lu Cang activated it. ’Divine Level Information Tracing.’

WHOOSH—

The once-blurry newspaper instantly became clear in his mind...

March 30th: Lorren officially completes the Grand Unification. The Ruelun Continent is formally renamed the Lorren Continent. A unification ceremony is scheduled for April 10th!

’So, they really did unify the continent.’

’A ceremony scheduled for April 10th... It seems they have no idea what’s coming in April.’

March 29th, White Tower Academic Daily.

New research findings on "cascading advancement" have been published. A child with potentially high aptitude has been selected as a subject for further study.

’Experimenting on children again...’

’Then again, the ethics and morals of this world can’t be compared to my past life. In a country like Lorren, children have a great deal of autonomy.’

’It’s probably because Spirituality manifests more easily in the young, making children often more clever than adults.’

’After reaching adulthood, many people only have more experience than children, not more intelligence.’

’Of course, Spirituality varies from person to person. Not every child’s is high; it’s just that less of it tends to dissipate at a young age.’

’There are still plenty of genuine dullards out there.’

March 25th...

The further back he went from the present, the blurrier the information became. But the power of Divine Level Information Tracing was overbearingly direct; no matter how obscured the text was, the skill brute-forced it into perfect clarity.

Lu Cang continued to read.

Although he only had 24 hours, Lu Cang managed to see a great deal of the "past future."

’It truly embodies that phrase from Future Studies: "What has passed in time is not necessarily the past."’

Lu Cang spent a full half hour.

He worked his way through various magazines and newspapers, going from the 31st backward in time until he reached the news from March 2nd.

Which was, in reality, the current day.

It even included breaking news that had just been announced on the afternoon of March 2nd.

A report in the Adventurer News about a Tier Five Dungeon appearing near Kernoya.

’A wild Tier Five Dungeon... That’s incredibly rare without a Source of Calamity.’
