Chapter 787: From Darkness to Light
Chapter 787: From Darkness to Light
"Kang Song?!" Lindsey shouted, calling out to his newfound friend.
But the righteous one, with his outgoing personality, remained silent, unable to respond.
In contrast, the sword they had abandoned due to the dangers of the Steelheart Sword finally reacted at this moment.
As Lindsey was about to send Kang Song back, the power of the Steelheart Sword took effect, and Lindsey once again entered the chaotic rift of time and space, with the surroundings beginning to distort and deform.
Lindsey struggled to break free from the constraints of the disordered space-time.
Crack—
The chaotic space-time suddenly emitted a cracking sound, as if it couldn't withstand the strain.
Perhaps the instability of the space-time itself was to blame, or maybe the power was affected by the time silhouette.
After the cracking sound, the chaotic space-time in front of Lindsey shattered, and the scene in his eyes stabilized once again.
"..."
Once the space stabilized, Lindsey immediately looked around.
The earth beneath his feet was still the same, and the distant mountains remained unchanged. However, the blazing sun in the sky had transformed into a dazzling starry night.
"
"Time... has changed..."
Lindsey was stunned for a moment.
Boom—
The Extinction Blade left a terrifying ravine on the ground.
"No problem."
"In the future, Kang Song will become the King of the City of Laws."
"Today, he is destined to encounter and definitely defeat his enemies."
Lindsey controlled his emotions and reorganized the current information and his state: "First, I've only left the time node where Kang Song is located."
"The earth around me is still earth, not in a state of broken floating islands. I must continue to find a solution to the problem."
"But since even the Steelheart Sword could only send me away from the current time node, what kind of help should I seek to return to the real time?"
As the night sky shone, Lindsey walked and pondered.
Regarding equipment, the Steelheart Sword was undoubtedly one of the best items in the world, and nothing stronger could be found. If even this couldn't help...
"Should I use the Human Wisdom Codex to make a wish?"
Lindsey shook his head, dismissing the thought.
Although the wish-granting mechanism could handle such problems, how could he retrieve the Human Wisdom Codex? And even if he did, considering the circumstances, it would be unwise to use it.
As Lindsey continued his journey, the sky gradually brightened with the approaching dawn.
---
A gust of night wind blew by.
Lindsey hurried along the road alone, moving at a rapid pace.
Along the way, he observed that in the world of the Dawn Forge, even wild creatures were scarce.
"What's going on here?"
"Could it be that this time node is right after a major battle in the City of Laws, and now it's a post-war world, desolate and barren?"
Lindsey continued on his journey, but there was still no sign of other people nearby.
Even when he and Kang Song were traveling together earlier, they hadn't encountered any other travelers on the road, only a few scattered individuals here and there.
Now, not only were there no travelers on the road, but as Lindsey walked a few more kilometers, the dirt road turned into a mountain gorge, and even the mountain trails disappeared, leaving the area completely desolate.
Time passed, and as the eastern sky began to glow with the light of dawn, Lindsey finally spotted a few human-sized markers on the map.
Although their color symbolized hostility in red, it didn't dampen Lindsey's improving mood.
"Wilderness!"
"I've been walking all night and managed to meet people. My luck is pretty good!"
The reason was the hostile attitude displayed on the map.
Lindsey bent his knees and entered stealth mode before approaching their location.
Last time it was an Administrator, so this time...
"Deviators?"
"You must be joking—in a world next to the City of Law, there could be groups of Deviators roaming freely? Just like me... No, that's impossible. They must have been drawn in when the Spatial Anomaly was damaged; otherwise, I should have sensed it earlier."
Lindsey continued to approach.
In the early morning, several Deviators were packing up their campsite, unaware of the impending danger.
There were no enemies nearby, no conspiracies, and no life-or-death battles.
To outsiders, these Deviators seemed like ordinary adventurers.
It was because Lindsey had interacted with Deviators so frequently.
From a distance, he could discern the characteristics of these Deviators from the Essence Aura.
"..."
Lindsey moved forward a few more meters.
Although the distance between them was still considerable, the Atmospheric Perception had already transmitted the Deviators' conversation clearly into Lindsey's ears.
The Deviator on the far left of the campfire sighed, "I never thought that the Divine Court, which rules over hundreds of kingdoms, would come to this. All because of a traitor who escaped and an Organizer?"
A Deviator near the center of the campsite spoke up, "But you can't deny that the Organizer faction founded by Andrew is quite interesting. Unlike us, who focus on self-improvement, they've expanded the concepts of rule and organization to a broader extent—remarkable."
The Deviator on the left side of the campfire suddenly laughed, "Haha—"
"The traitor of the Divine Court spread the news, intending to share the secret of the monopolized Technique branches. But the outcome was that someone used this knowledge to forge a new path that had never existed before."
"People with wisdom always lead the wave of time." The Deviator on the right of the campfire spoke up, acknowledging the emergence of Organizers and posing a question, "What do you think will happen to the Divine Court in the future?"
"Will it be suppressed like before, or is there another possibility?"
The Deviator in the center answered bluntly, "The Divine Court is doomed."
"The power of the War Technique is undeniable, but not their nation."
"However, regardless of the Divine Court's future, the path of the warrior will always continue in its own way."
The conversation reached a pause.
A Deviator who had been packing the campsite from the start spoke up, having finished packing his belongings. He looked at his companions, who were engaged in a heated discussion, and sighed, "I'm telling you, can't you focus on yourselves?"
"The Divine Court is a matter for the Great Rift and the Abyssal Nation!"
"Our target this time is the Seven Star Federation, which occupies half of the universe. I heard that the Sons of Justice also has a traitor who plans to establish a place called the City of Law, so I brought you here to investigate."
