"Lu Cang?"

Izparut was quite surprised to feel Lu Cang’s Perception reach out to him. After all, Iz himself had set up the Perception barrier here.

He’d done it so the two of them wouldn’t be disturbed.

’And yet Lu Cang managed to pierce through the Perception barrier I set up...’

’Just how strong is his Perception Penetration? Are there truly no Restrictions in this world that can stop him?’

"What is it?"

Iz responded through his Perception.

Seeing that communication was possible, Lu Cang recounted his entire conversation with Kumironi, word for word, through their shared Perception.

"Mm... I understand."

After receiving the message, Iz replied somberly through their link.

"But if it’s just the two people you saw, it shouldn’t be a major problem."

’Heh, I have no idea where you get that confidence, saying it won’t be a problem.’

’Those are two Level 8s. And if you count An Zheng’s final power-up, that makes three.’

’You’re Level 6 and you’re saying it’s no problem to fight three Level 8s.’

’Sigh, although according to their dates of death, we do win in the end.’

’Should I call him arrogant, or just confident...?’

’Now that I’ve warned them both, I guess my job is mostly done. They’re the main fighting force for this crisis, after all.’

’Even with my growth rate, it’ll be hard to become strong enough to participate in a battle of that level within a month.’

"And now..."

Lu Cang gazed to the northeast.

He hadn’t just brought back knowledge from his Future Preview. Anything that `Divine Level Hidden Origin` had touched still left a corresponding directional guide.

Lu Cang could now clearly see a pointer.

This pointer was aimed at Tengge.

「Secret Sea—Secret Sand Archipelago—Tengge」

The lair of those Mechanicians who arrived on the Flying Light.

And the person being pointed to was the one who foresaw the April 1st doomsday... the Doomsday Prophet.

Lu Cang had made contact with that doomsday prophecy.

And as a natural consequence, he had seen some information about the Doomsday Prophet, as well as their current location.

’Come to think of it, why would Lorren have a doomsday prophecy hidden among so many others?’

’Lorren is full of suspicious points, too.’

’It really seems like everyone’s a person of mystery, each with their own hidden secrets.’

According to the information he’d gotten from the future, those Mechanicians would be returning on the Flying Light tomorrow.

After all, Lorren planned to research the promotion method on his own, not by relying on Tengge’s Flying Light.

The deal between the two parties was also at a temporary impasse.

’This is a perfect opportunity to use them to go see their continent...’

SWISH—

With a single thought, Lu Cang arrived at Lorren’s air harbor.

The air harbor was the place where Flying Airships were docked.

Because Lorren’s mechanical industry wasn’t well-developed, the models of Flying Airships were rather old, and they weren’t the first choice for most travelers.

There weren’t many people at the air harbor.

"Yo, if it isn’t Little Lu Cang?"

"Little genius, what brings you here today?"

The moment he landed, a white-haired Mechanician noticed Lu Cang.

"I heard you all will be leaving."

"I’m very interested in Mechanicians, and I’ve never left the Ruelun Continent. I’ve always longed to see Tengge, so I was wondering if I could take this opportunity to go have a look," Lu Cang asked politely, his voice still that of a child.

Hearing Lu Cang’s request, the Mechanician replied heartily, "Haha, that’s easy enough."

"If you want to come, just join us tomorrow morning. There’s still plenty of room on the Flying Light."

"If you’re really interested in Tengge, you can just stay there! Haha, I’m sure our king would be thrilled to have you join us."

Lu Cang said cheerfully, "Thank you, uncle."

In his original destiny, he had no plans to go to Tengge.

But after one Future Preview, Lu Cang had drastically changed his course of action.

’By changing my actions so drastically, the future should change quite a lot.’

’Still, for the next preview, I should probably check out the scene of my arrival in Tengge first.’

’When going to an unfamiliar continent, it’s best to do some reconnaissance and preparation beforehand.’

’As for the matter on the 31st, I still have plenty more chances to preview that.’

...

For the rest of the day, Lu Cang began researching his seventh Combat Skill.

Since he could absorb knowledge in the previewed future, he should use his time in reality for actions that didn’t involve learning.

The acquisition of Undead and souls, obtaining items, and tempering his body were all things that could not be carried back from a preview.

In the afternoon, a notice arrived from the Adventurer’s Guild.

A Tier Five Dungeon had appeared near Chronoa.

’It seems the information I got from the future was completely accurate...’

After confirming this news, Lu Cang headed out immediately.

He would use the remaining time to replenish his stock of Tier Six Submerged Land Level Demons.

He would also set up the Ritual to gather a demon tide, allowing him to farm souls to his heart’s content at the Erupting Black Ant Mountain.

Now, when farming Tier Six Dungeons, he didn’t even need to bring Chi Cheng anymore; he could solo them himself.

With his current 100,000 layers of Shield, there wasn’t a single Tier Six Submerged Land Level Demon that could break through.

「March 2nd」

Lu Cang farmed two hundred billion souls and thirty Tier Six Submerged Land Level Demons in one go.

He made up for what he hadn’t farmed before.

It was just a pity that he hadn’t awakened the Prophet Profession before March 1st.

’If I had awakened it on February 1st, I could have repeatedly jumped to March 1st, enjoying the leap year blessing it brought. With two previews a day, I could have managed a full 60 previews before March 1st...’

’Using one day like it was sixty.’

’What a shame. I’ll just have to see what kind of good "sales" there are next time...’

’As for April 1st, forget it.’

’Even though there’s an extremely low chance of obtaining some forbidden knowledge that’s usually inaccessible, it’s ultimately too abstract.’

’If I had a choice, I’d rather preview any other day than that insane month.’

’Randomness is always the most dangerous.’

’It’s almost midnight now.’

’I should use my second preview opportunity... I can also take the chance to try some other forbidden Rituals I normally wouldn’t dare to, although I can’t just use Pure White Descent carelessly.’

’But the others should be fine.’

’The last preview was too rushed. I didn’t really get to make full use of all its effects.’

Lu Cang sat on his bed.

He closed his eyes and first outlined his future destiny in his mind.

After setting the scene to his arrival in Tengge, approximately five days from now...

「Divine Level Future Projection」

VMMM!

The preview activated—

Lu Cang appeared on a bustling street. Looking up, he saw mechanized Flying Airships weaving through the sky.

’This must be the Tengge Continent.’
