Chapter 365: Chapter 323 The Link between Past and Future Techniques!

Wu Xiaode, having gone through numerous hardships, had completed the Level 30 hidden trial and acquired that crucial skill.

—Shadow Followers.

It could bestow "Bright Ghost" upon his followers.

Once followers could travel between the realms of life and death, they became the "only ones," truly freed from the shackles of the sin prison.

Moreover, using the ability bestowed by the Divine Beast, "Time-Space Displacement"—

Wu Xiaode could shift his companions back to the previous Epoch!

This was the method that could be used to confront the immortals in just two days and thirteen hours.

The streetside coffee shop.

After hearing Wu Xiaode’s plan, Satan put down his coffee cup and stared at him squarely, saying,

"So you are the one who has awakened the Death Ability."

"Yes, it’s me," Wu Xiaode admitted.

Satan pondered for only two seconds, then calmed down and said,

"Quite an interesting idea, but how many people can your ’Shadow Followers’ take back to the previous Epoch?"

Wu Xiaode was startled, then suddenly clapped his hands.

Right!

He currently had only one Shadow Follower!

He looked towards the Book of the Dead, where the description of "Shadow Followers" had already appeared:

"Demon Mist Skill: Shadow Followers (Basic)."

"In the silence of the Demon Mist, your power will be shared with your Shadow Followers, and each time you gain a Shadow Follower, your Silent Mist will acquire a new ability (current follower limit: 1)."

"—A Death Lord Level hidden skill."

There were only two ways to enhance this skill.

First, reach Level 40, then return to the Death Realm to complete another trial to receive the corresponding skill reward;

Second, infuse a large amount of wish-power into the wall of sighs, which could also evolve the skill.

"It looks like we need to do a live stream, that will be faster,"

Wu Xiaode said.

"Live stream?" Satan didn’t understand.

"You like to study so much, haven’t you looked into live stream sales?" Wu Xiaode said.

"Is it a combat skill? Or a buff skill?" Satan shrugged.

"It could lend us a helping hand—I think you should join our entertainment company." Wu Xiaode said.

Dinglingling—

The phone suddenly rang.

Wu Xiaode picked it up and quickly answered:

"Hello, Sister Lan?"

"...What did you say!"

He couldn’t help but stand up.

Seeing him looking as if facing a great enemy, Satan quickly stood up too.

"An enemy?" he asked tensely.

Wu Xiaode didn’t respond, just stared at the images appearing on the screen.

"I’ll be right there."

He hung up in a hurry, snapped his fingers at Satan, and said, "Let’s go, the situation has changed."

The two men walked out of the coffee shop.

"What changed?" Satan asked.

"My sister... seems to have made some technical innovations," Wu Xiaode said.

"Technological innovation? Give humans a few hundred years, and they still won’t be able to develop technology to overcome those Divine Spirits," Satan responded, somewhat uninterested.

Wu Xiaode’s expression was a bit peculiar.

He shook his head slightly and whispered, "It’s not as simple as you think, my Sister Lan is no ordinary scientist."

The two walked down the street toward the direction of the science academy.

There were still quite a few pedestrians on the road, the stores on both sides of the street were open, cars going back and forth on the wide road, the various signs above the street aglow with colorful lights, all creating a bustling scene.

Wu Xiaode, hands in his pockets, walked in front; Satan, pulling out his phone to search for this so-called "live streaming," was a few steps behind.

Everything seemed normal, with some people dancing in the open space along the roadside.

Children chased each other, their laughter rising in waves.

Wu Xiaode reached the corner, took a step to the right according to his memory—

He turned the street corner.

For some reason, a chill crept up his spine, making him immediately stop in his tracks.

If everything were normal, turning this corner would reveal a busier avenue because it was close to the night market with a larger foot traffic and many vendors; this area was also near a residential area, so there were people out for walks.

Just a second ago, Wu Xiaode had seen a man and a woman with a dog, laughing as they turned into this corner.

An old man had followed them in.

But when he turned the corner himself, he found a narrow, dark alley before him.

It was deep and dark, the end not visible.

There was no one.

The constant flow of cars and people had vanished.

Dense cobblestones blocked the surrounding roads, filling the space with an indescribable silence.

Wu Xiaode gestured directly to Satan with a wave of his hand.

Satan stopped outside the street corner.

He looked at Wu Xiaode, a puzzled look on his face.

—Just one step more, and he would have followed Wu Xiaode into this deathly silent alley.

Wu Xiaode shook his head.

Satan froze and casually drew out a long knife.

However, as the street corner formed a right angle, his position only allowed him a glimpse of Wu Xiaode, but he couldn’t see what was further down the street.

Yet, on the opposite main road, an endless stream of cars drove in, and crowds of people walked back and forth.

—Why wouldn’t Wu Xiaode let him enter?

Satan thought for a moment and extended the long knife around the corner.

The blade reflected the scene of the street.

A bustling metropolis.

"Don’t look at your knife, look into my eyes," Wu Xiaode commanded, staring straight ahead without moving.

Satan glanced at his eyes.

—Wu Xiaode’s pupils reflected a dark, deep alley with no visible end.

It was empty.

Satan was instantly alarmed.

"Something’s not right," he immediately said.

"What’s not right?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Our world now has only a 1-point Soul Power limit, completely confined by three Divine Beasts, spirits, and the Sin Prison—who could create such a formidable array?"

Satan spoke with a grave expression.

Wu Xiaode’s gaze turned cold and murderous.

"So... it might be my issue."

He murmured softly, suddenly remembering something, and glanced at his phone.

The phone had no signal.

—Fortunately, he had stopped at the edge of the magic in time, allowing him to still communicate with Satan.

"Satan, contact Xia Huilan immediately, and tell her I need that item from her right away," Wu Xiaode said without hesitation.

Satan immediately made a call.

"Xia Huilan, this is Satan, Little Wu needs something... Yes, it’s best to bring it right away, I’ll share the location with you."

After hanging up, he also called the Emperor and Zhao Zhibing.

Throughout the process, Wu Xiaode stood still.

He looked towards the Book of the Dead.

Lines of ice crystal letters appeared on the pages:

"Upon leaving the Past Epoch, you were struck by an unknown magic."

"When you left the Death World, this magic was reactivated."

"However, spanning two Epochs, what mutations could it possibly cause?"

"—No one knows."

Wu Xiaode carefully reminisced.

If the Destruction Council had a chance to strike at him, then it would have been right after he left the "Doomsday Cage" and appeared in the Capital Square of Dongsheng Country, the very moment he encountered the Nanxuan Fist God.

That very moment.

Some magic had struck him, and he was not aware of it.

—Unexpectedly, it had brought him to the present age!

In this era, everyone had only 1 point of Soul Power, even the Divine had only 1 point.

He would have to be out of his mind to confront this magic head-on!

Suddenly, several lines of deep red text burst forth on the Book of the Dead:

"Time disorder!"

"Warning!"

"Two Epochs’ timelines have been connected by this magic, throwing time into disorder!"

"The magic is now fully unraveled!"

"You must enter this magic immediately, if you linger any longer, you will be torn apart by the forces of both timelines and perish!"

There was no time!

Wu Xiaode clenched his teeth and stepped forward.

Suddenly, a loud sound burst through the sky.

The next instant.

Xia Ni swooped down, hurling a briefcase to him in midair.

Wu Xiaode caught it firmly.

Xia Ni landed on the ground, looking around warily and exclaimed sharply, "Where’s the enemy?"

Wu Xiaode watched her.

She stood in the alley, yet her whole body was semi-transparent.

—The magic had struck him; apart from himself, no one else could enter this magic.

Wu Xiaode suddenly laughed.

"What enemy? I just wanted to show off Sister Lan’s research results in front of others—tell Sister Lan not to worry."

He glanced at Satan.

Satan pursed his lips, echoing the sentiment, "Yeah, I can never understand why you women are so sensitive."

Xia Ni was confused.

"Huh? No problem? Sister Lan thought it was something urgent."

She murmured.

Wu Xiaode was already holding the briefcase, stepping into the alley.

"I’m going to meet an old friend, I’ll be back soon."

He said with a smile.

The next instant.

His figure passed straight through Xia Ni, disappearing from their view.
