Volume 7 Coral Chapter 668: Collecting Bookmarks
Night is gradually falling.
Colorful lights light up in the city.
The southeast corner of the gorgeous city.
Chen Lun was walking on the street carrying a white cane.
None of the passers-by could see him.
Most of these people had a lingering sense of joy on their faces, and they walked and talked about the giant sphere that had disintegrated and disappeared in the sky above the Gorgeous City a few hours ago.
The local residents were almost scared to death at that time.
I was afraid that the "star" that blocked out the sky would fall down.
Fortunately, this catastrophic disaster was averted ahead of time, and the relevant federal departments stepped forward in time and gave a reasonable explanation.
All the blame was put on the deceased President Gu Qingshu. It was he who planned all this and intended to unite the rebels, unite the factions and fight against the dissidents, so as to monopolize the federal power.
Everything settled with his death.
The Holy Church also sent high-ranking officials to endorse the statement, which increased the credibility of the statement. Of course, whether the people believe it or not is not important.
Chen Lun walked into a street called "Villain Street", along which were relatively cheap rental areas in the gorgeous city.
He stopped in front of the seventeenth building.
Looking up at the tenth floor, he saw that the light was on in the window, but he knew that another stranger family lived there.
'Has it been two years since I traveled through time?... Things and people have changed. Everything is familiar yet strange.'
Chen Lun gazed at his former home.
After a long time, he finally left quietly.
Before coming, he used divination and teleportation to easily find his mother Xue Qiaoru, who had abandoned him and his sister Chen Mo. This woman had formed a new family and was living an ordinary life like most residents of the Federation.
Chen Lun had no contact with him.
He just glanced at it from a distance and left.
He had no feelings for his mother, and the hatred he had felt for her when he was young seemed less profound.
It was as if he was just a stranger.
Chen Lun did not use any supernatural powers, but walked around the city on foot, wandering aimlessly, looking at the bustling city and street scenes at night, and listening to the laughter and chatter of young men and women along the way.
Unconsciously, I had left the gorgeous city along the "Nervous Avenue" and arrived at a remote area in the suburbs.
Chen Lun came to a cemetery with a complicated feeling that even he himself could not understand.
His father, Chen Feng, was buried here.
At that time, my family had no money and could not afford to be buried in the gorgeous city. We could not even afford a piece of virtual data like an electronic tomb.
A breeze blew by, and the man who was watching a porn movie in the security booth shuddered. He looked up, but there was no one at the gate.
In the dark night, Chen Lun found a tombstone in the southwest corner.
He stared at the black and white photo of the man engraved on the monument in silence.
The reason why Chen Lun came here was not to pay tribute or mourn, because he knew very well that his father was just a fictional character created by Duke Huan.
He just wanted to confirm one thing.
Is Chen Feng dead?
However, the ashes in the tomb told him that he was dead and could not die again.
It was exactly the same as what I had experienced before. There was no deception, no conspiracy. My father really did die of illness, and his ashes were down there.
However, Chen Lun did not feel as relaxed as he had imagined.
His mood was even more complicated.
A lot of thoughts popped up in my mind.
He thought that he traveled to the Sun Continent two years before the game's "public beta". Was this a time travel?
The fact is, it is not necessarily the case.
'The prophetic memory is probably that Duke Huan used the power of fate to transmit what will happen in the future to my brain in advance in the form of memory... I can do this now.'
His eyes dropped.
Chen Lun only needs to observe the fate line of any person, record what will happen in the next two years, and put it silently into the person's mind through "mind transmission".
Then this person will definitely think that he has been reborn two years ago.
It's like a magic trick.
What may seem incredible to onlookers is quite simple and clear to the magician performing the trick.
When these are revealed, it becomes very boring.
If he had not experienced everything in the Sun Continent and did not have the current power and strength, time travel and rebirth would seem quite magical and only a product of fantasy.
However, Chen Lun saw through all these tricks at this moment.
Soon, he thought of another possibility.
'I can think of using the Ouroboros' ability to transform reality into illusion, to recreate a blank body, to take the "Holy Fire Path", and in turn devour the Paths of the Ten Gods. There is no reason why Lord Huan couldn't think of it... Then, am I a figment of his imagination?'
Chen Lun's heartbeat gradually quickened.
I was even terrified by my own guess.
"If so, when I complete all my plans, devour the Ten Paths of God, and become the new God of Destiny, will I be replaced by Lord Huan..."
Chen Lun had an inexplicable awe for Duke Huan.
This mysterious God of Destiny, who has been hiding behind the scenes and guarding the Sun Continent for several epochs, can always promote the development of the times and major events with his extraordinary layouts and plans.
In order to save the world, the Ring Guild will stop at nothing.
He had good reason to doubt that the Ring Guild would do so.
But soon, Chen Lun denied this speculation.
'Howard has really made me suspicious...'
He smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head.
'If I am really the "real body" created by Huan Gong, why would He come up with so many instructions and arrangements? It's unnecessary... It's completely meaningless to put on a show for myself.'
However, what Chen Lun can be sure of is that he definitely possesses certain qualities that make Duke Huan certain that only he can save the world of Anita and the Sun Continent.
Combined with the experience of my younger sister Chen Mo.
Chen Lun guessed that maybe his personality was more suitable.
Or maybe one's compatibility with fate is high enough that one can even discover the great concept between fate and the sacred fire.
In short, Duke Huan chose him.
"call……"
Chen Lun let out a long sigh.
He took off his hat and hung it on the corner of his father Chen Feng's tombstone, then turned around and leaned against it, sitting on the ground.
…
…
…
The next day.
Federal Research Centre.
The huge circular building is full of technology and is completely white. The rest of the building is made up of large glass curtain walls, which not only bear the weight but also give people a transparent and simple impression.
Many high-ranking officials from the Azure Holy Church and the Federation came and waited at the gate early. The surrounding streets and even the entrances and exits were blocked by armed personnel.
Many residents who were unaware of the situation were extremely surprised.
Although curious, they did not dare to get close and could only stop in the outer area to talk, wander and look.
A black extended version of the floating luxury car drove straight in and stopped at the entrance of the Federal Research Center.
Fourteen members of the Polaris team walked down from it.
The men were dressed in suits and the women were also dressed quite formally.
"Weiyin, your family is really rich. This car is so comfortable to sit in, and there's an intelligent virtual driver driving it..."
Su Keying said in a low voice.
Today she wore a slim-fit suit, paired with a black miniskirt and high-heeled leather shoes. She tied her hair up and put on some light makeup, looking a lot more mature.
"Momet IV, the most luxurious car among all the luxury cars, over 600 million credit points!"
Goutoujin explained.
Weiyin smiled and patted Polaris on the shoulder.
"We are here with Brother Beizi today. If it weren't for him, how could we be qualified to see such a grand occasion... We must drive out the best car in the family, right?"
"Thank you."
Polaris turned around and thanked his friends with a smile.
At this time, a senior member of the Azure Holy Church came over.
"Mr. Su Bei, Ms. Zheng Ling, and everyone else, His Majesty Jack has arrived. Please follow me."
Everyone took a deep breath and followed the bishop into the gate of the research center under the watchful eyes of many federal high-ranking officials.
As soon as I entered, I saw three men with terrifying auras standing humbly behind a gentleman in a black hat.
Those three men were none other than the Holy Church Pope Su Hong, and two demigod-level archbishops Fang Yang and Gao Jing.
"Abei, come here."
The gentleman in the black hat spoke calmly.
Polaris looked stern, and quickly said respectfully:
"Yes, teacher."
He strode forward, while the other team's advanced players lagged behind and followed him.
They walked through the hall, along the aisle, and went straight to the deepest research room, where they saw the huge supercomputer.
The faces of the top players showed surprise and shock.
They looked at each other and knew that this was the server of "Mysterious Age".
"Your Majesty Jack, it's right here."
Pope Su Hong lowered his head, raised his hand to signal the huge machine, and said respectfully.
All around, dozens of scientific researchers in white coats looked at the man in the black hat cautiously, with shock in their hearts beyond words.
Is this the King of Cang Yi?
He possesses power comparable to that of gods, and even the high-ranking officials of the Holy Church succumb to him.
A man who walked out of a virtual game.
What kind of existence is He?
"Abei, go take down that black chuck."
Chen Lun spoke calmly and pointed to the chuck inserted in the console.
Polaris nodded solemnly.
"Yes, teacher."
He said as he quickly walked over to the console, grabbed the chuck, and then took a deep breath and pulled it off.
Everything is as usual.
There were no unexpected events as expected.
Polaris held the black chuck in both hands, came to the teacher and handed it over respectfully.
Chen Lun took it casually.
The next second, his pupils shrank.
[S-level weird thing - Four Seasons Bookmark (incomplete)]
Item description: A bookmark that contains the power of destiny. It seems to be missing the rest of the bookmark. It is currently one quarter of the whole bookmark. It has endless expansion power and is a symbol of summer.
It has its own name - Fanhua.
Item Effect: The holder will greatly increase the power of supernatural strength, have a certain increase in non-offensive abilities, and grant strength increase and mysterious expansion effects.
Item cost: Fueled by sanity, the rest is unknown.
In Chen Lun's sight, the black "outer shell" of the chuck in his hand gradually faded away, revealing a card inside.
There is a pattern of a sea of flowers in the middle.
However, the faded black substance did not disappear, but condensed into a ball, turning into a translucent ball of dark light.
[The Only Divine Being - Shadowy Authority (Alienation)]
Item description: The only divinity of the path of destiny, possessing endless "power of fiction". Due to an accident, it was infected by an unknown outer god, and the carrier of power underwent irreversible changes, gaining the ability to formulate "game rules".
'Two destinies, one divinity!'
Chen Lun was shocked.
At this moment, when he held two powers in his hands, his mind raced and he immediately understood the truth...
