Chapter 786: Prophecy and Separation
Chapter 786: Prophecy and Separation
Lindsey: Alice, I didn't realize you were related to Kang Song through your Technique.
Alice: Of course. Otherwise, how could I have answered so quickly when you mentioned his name?
Lindsey: So, when you met him, did he have any messages for me?
Alice: No.
Alice: I am grateful for the path paved by the predecessors, and I will forge my own path. If you insist on delivering a message, just say thank you. Although the City of Law is still in turmoil, it is just like the countless times in history, where some things can only be achieved through the revolution of iron and blood.
[...]
Lindsey closed the friend channel.
He turned to look at Kang Song, who was devouring a pig's trotter, and couldn't imagine that this was the future ruler of the City of Law.
Is this guy really a Seventh Stage Awakened?
He doesn't have an ounce of arrogance.
"Kang Song, someone asked me to pass on a message to you."
"She is grateful for the perception technique you pioneered, and she is also striving to make the world a better place."
Kang Song immediately put down the pig's trotter and didn't even wipe his mouth.
"Does she... Does the future child also believe in the idea of equality for all?"
Lindsey nodded:
"It's not just about equality! To protect the persecuted demi-humans, she is now fighting against humans!"
Kang Song laughed without realizing:
"Hahaha! It must be challenging to be friends with the Righteous One, right?"
"But I guess your relationship is pretty good!"
Lindsey nodded:
"I don't think so. It's only natural that intelligent life should be respected."
"..."
Lindsey's response left Kang Song silent.
He finished the food in his hand, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, and then looked up at the pristine sky:
"Lindsey, what a pity."
"It would have been a wonderful thing if we could meet in this era, become true friends who strive together, and then change the world."
Lindsey, feeling bold, opened the friend channel again.
Lindsey: Alice, did Kang Song die?
Alice: There is no record of Kang Song's death in the City of Law, only that he went missing. And his successor obtained power peacefully without causing turmoil.
Lindsey looked up at Kang Song:
"Kang Song, cheer up. We may still have a chance to meet."
Kang Song's expression changed as he understood the implication of Lindsey's words.
The Righteous One laughed and untied a hip flask from his waist, offering it to Lindsey:
"Then let's toast to the future!"
Lindsey took out his water flask and clinked it with Kang Song's flask:
"Thank you, but I don't drink alcohol."
Kang Song's face darkened, and he kicked out at Lindsey:
"You don't even drink? What's wrong with you?"
Lindsey took out his life principles:
"I cultivate Essence by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Drinking alcohol is harmful."
Kang Song didn't force the issue:
"In that case, let's make a promise."
"Even if I might not recognize you in the future, I believe we will become friends!"
Lindsey naturally didn't refuse:
"Then it's a promise. We'll meet again in the future."
"..."
After lunch, Lindsey and Kang Song continued their journey eastward.
Although they hadn't found a solution to the spatial anomaly yet, they had each other, especially a Seventh Stage Awakened, wielding a Steelheart Sword.
The Righteous One and his friend set off together.
Lindsey was feeling great at the moment.
After nightfall, they arrived at a plain before a mountain range.
Kang Song, who had been chatting and laughing with Lindsey, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Lindsey, be careful!"
Lindsey became alert.
"What's wrong? Is there an enemy?"
Kang Song nodded. "There's a hostile presence approaching us."
Lindsey unfolded the map and expanded his scouting range, but he couldn't find any red markers.
"I didn't find anything..."
Before Lindsey could finish his sentence, Kang Song interrupted him.
"It's south of here, about ten kilometers away."
Ten kilometers...
Lindsey gained a whole new understanding of the Righteous One, especially those who were proficient in sensory techniques.
Kang Song was capable of such a feat.
No wonder Alice, who inherited this path, possessed such an exaggerated sensory ability.
Lindsey shrugged.
He trusted his companion and naturally followed Kang Song as he changed direction, heading south.
After some time, he indeed saw a solitary red marker on the map.
Moreover, the other party was heading in their direction!
Soon, they encountered each other on the land of the Dawn Forge.
The man wore a vermilion robe, and his entire body was covered, except for a pair of black eyes that were exposed.
His aura was also very ancient.
But as he stared at Lindsey and Kang Song, a scorching sense of threat emanated from his aged gaze.
"Righteous One!"
"A Righteous One from the borderlands, seeking to reach the City of Law."
"According to the prophecy... you're the one, the heretic who obstructs my faith. You must die!"
The next moment, a powerful will emanated from the man.
His Essence Skill whipped up a gust of wind around him, and as his robe fluttered open, a shriveled old man was revealed.
Lindsey recognized the man's Essence Skill.
"This guy is a Follower, and he's at the Seventh Stage!"
The battle was about to begin.
Lindsey, of course, intended to lend a hand.
But just as he drew his weapon, an even more astonishing event unfolded before their eyes.
The aged Follower's power had reached its pinnacle! But from this moment on, he no longer displayed only the techniques of a Follower. A lofty and majestic will suddenly descended upon him, permeating the old man's soul and power!
"Divinity..."
Lindsey had defeated a god who had tried to revive, so he was quite familiar with this phenomenon.
The presence that appeared on the old man is definitely a terrifying power beyond the peak of the Seventh Stage, touching upon the Eighth Stage!"
Lindsey's thoughts raced.
The Deity and his Follower had learned of Kang Song's future through prophetic techniques.
So, they intended to intercept this future Wise King of the City of Law here!
At this thought, Lindsey's expression turned solemn.
He would not allow such a thing to happen before his very eyes. He stepped forward and began rummaging through his most precious possessions.
"Even if it's just a glimpse of the future, you won't..."
"Ah?!"
Before Lindsey could finish his sentence, he felt a tremendous force strike his chest and waist, sending him flying north into the sky.
He saw Kang Song brandishing his longsword, striking him down with a single blow, and the other's parting smile.
The air and light around Lindsey distorted, and in the final moments, the Righteous One's voice reached his ears.
"Lindsey, you don't belong here. Cherish your life and leave quickly!"
