The Secret Sea was estimated to be destroyed in just 28 days.

But he still had to sleep.

He couldn’t possibly stay awake for 28 straight days just because of the end of the world, could he?

Lu Cang slept soundly and peacefully.

His Future Preview did have another clever use.

Since he knew what the future held in five days, including his own location, it meant that nothing major could happen to him in the meantime.

If he were to die within five days, he naturally wouldn’t be able to see a future five days later.

Lu Cang pulled up the covers and went right to sleep.

...

He awoke feeling refreshed and full of energy.

The first thing Lu Cang did was go to the skyport.

He was there to change the travel plans he had made yesterday.

He had already "been" to Tengge, so there was no need to go in person for now.

Although he could acquire some decent items in Tengge, the vast majority were only useful to a Mechanician.

The boost they would give him was minimal.

"Huh? Young genius, you’re not heading back with us?"

"Ah, what a shame."

"If His Majesty the King knew that a genius such as yourself wanted to visit our Kingdom, he would surely be delighted."

Lu Cang replied with a smile, "It’s just that something unexpected came up. I need to go check out another place."

"To be honest, I’ve always been keen to visit Tengge, but it looks like it will have to wait for another time."

’If I were to go to Tengge now, the only thing to do would be to kill that Doomsday Prophet.’

’But if I kill him, everyone in the entire Kingdom of Tengge will die as a result.’

’After all, as long as I don’t interfere with Destiny, the people of Tengge have normal lifespans.’

But in his preview, a short while after he killed Mokri and the King, Lu Cang watched as the Date of Death for everyone in the Kingdom simultaneously refreshed, changing to the same day one month in the future.

April 1st, to be exact.

The trigger Effect of Divine Level·Destined Death was to function as if Lu Cang did not exist.

It was equivalent to postulating a world without Lu Cang’s intervention and then calculating everyone’s Date of Death based on that scenario.

However, Lu Cang’s existence was, in fact, genuinely affecting the world.

This person, who was assumed not to exist, had drastically altered the course of Destiny.

He killed Mokri, who was not supposed to die. He also killed the King, who was supposed to escape after announcing the impending disaster.

As a result, after some time passed...

Lu Cang saw the Date of Death for every single person in the Kingdom change drastically.

Thus, it was only by foreseeing Destiny and drastically changing the Future’s course in the preview that Lu Cang was able to fully verify that he could still indirectly influence other people’s Date of Death.

’However, this change to the Date of Death isn’t instantaneous. It seems to take a while to fully synchronize and refresh.’

’As for why it’s not real-time, I probably won’t understand until I learn High Level Destiny Science.’

’So, if I go to Tengge now...’

’Killing Mokri would be tantamount to killing everyone on the Tengge Continent.’

’But not killing Mokri would be like letting a member of the Doomsday organization go free.’

’This trolley problem has fallen into my lap. Do I kill a future Cult member, and by doing so, kill an entire continent of people?’

’Or do I spare them, and also spare this Cult rookie?’

Lu Cang’s choice was... to hell with Tengge.

He would prioritize things that benefited him. The only gain from going to Tengge now would be playing the hero, and that was it.

But if he went to the other continents in the Secret Sand Archipelago...

Xiyang, Xiangya, Zuoyu, Tarabella.

He would very likely make a killing.

For one, Xiyang was a continent of powerful Warriors. There were bound to be plenty of resources there regarding Combat Skills and methods for increasing a Warrior’s power.

Tarabella, he’d heard, was an alliance of many small and medium-sized nations. It was also the continent with the most ancient ruins, and thus its treasures and legacies far surpassed those of the other continents.

Of course, Lu Cang had no intention of exploring any ruins himself.

’Since these nations are going to be destroyed anyway, it would be a real shame not to just raid them clean...’

Zuoyu, on the other hand, was a nation of the Church Court.

He’d heard that the Church was particularly prosperous and well-developed on that continent, and its branch divisions were a cut above those on other continents. At the same time, Cults were also rampant, which meant it was also a rather lucrative place.

Thinking about them one by one, each had its own merits.

’Hmm, as for how to get there...’

’I’ll just fly there myself.’

Lorren’s Flying Airship’s Speed was nothing to write home about. At 10 km/s, by the time it reached those continents, the month would be over.

But before that...

WHOOSH—

[Kumironi Family]

Lu Cang once again knocked on the door.

"Sister Kumironi."

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—

The door opened at his knock, and Lu Cang stepped into Kumironi’s home.

"So? Do you have a more accurate prophecy?"

Lu Cang let out a soft sigh. "Sister Kumironi, actually..."

"I seem to have prophesied something even more terrible."

"Even more terrible?"

Kumironi froze.

What could possibly be more terrible than An Zheng attempting to reach Level 9, with two Level 8 Reincarnators coming to back him up?

If that were to actually happen and a fight broke out, the entire Secret Sand Archipelago would likely be caught in the crossfire.

That would be enough to destroy the entire group of continents—a serious Doomsday in its own right.

"Sister Kumironi, have you ever heard of ’Doomsday’?"

Hearing that name, a slight tremor ran through Kumironi’s heart.
