At the same time that he received the Staff of the Stars, Klein took out a gold coin from thin air with his other hand and flicked it with a clang.
As the gold coin tumbled, the revelation he had obtained from his divination naturally surfaced in his mind.
It was an extremely deep ravine, and at the bottom of it was a thick and wide building that was constructed with layers of grayish-white.
Every detail was a restoration of the Chernobyl that Klein had seen back then, but it didn't come from the spirit world, but from Klein's subconscious.
With the help of dream divination, he recreated the scene he had seen in his mind.
And just as this scene was completed, the gems embedded in the Staff of the Stars emitted a faint light, instantly disappearing with Klein's Historical Void projection. Then, it appeared above the grayish-white building.
In just a second, Klein had returned to Chernobyl from the easternmost area of the Forsaken Land of the Gods!
This was one of the main powers of the Staff of the Stars: If the corresponding scene that surfaced in the wielder's mind was real and still existed, then the Staff of the Stars could allow him to cross all obstacles and arrive at his destination, no matter how far away it was.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the outline had to be absolutely correct. There couldn't be any visible difference from the original.
The reason why Klein chose the deep ravine where Chernobyl was located and not the wilderness that was filled with grayish-yellow fog was that he knew that after the Giant King's youngest son, the God of Glory, Bladel, escaped the curse and completely passed away, that place would definitely undergo a huge change. The only place that wouldn't be affected was the mysterious Chernobyl that was valued by the ancient Sun God and Amon.
This didn't mean that the deep ravine and grayish-white building wouldn't have any visible changes. In fact, Klein was already prepared for the "Teleportation" to fail and for his destination to be unknown. After all, the person was fake, and the item in his hand was fake. It wasn't a pity to lose it.
In midair, Klein, who was holding the Staff of the Stars, didn't even have the time to observe his surroundings before his entire body suddenly sank and plummeted down.
Without Creeping Hunger, nor did he transform into an avian creature, he currently didn't have the ability to fly.
Therefore, even though the demigods of the Seer pathway were so strange and terrifying, they actually had an ordinary human side.
As his thoughts raced, a Beyonder power appeared in Klein's mind.
The Staff of the Stars lit up in different colors, stirring up violent winds around it.
The wind wrapped around Klein, causing his black windbreaker to flutter and his body to slowly descend.
During this process, Klein's right hand trembled, allowing the Staff of the Stars' Historical Void projection to return to its usual spot. This was to prevent any accidents from happening due to his instinctive imagination.
Right on the heels of that, he pressed down on the half top hat on his head with his left hand. Just as the lightning in the sky faded, he pulled out a lantern from the void.
Under the dim yellow light of the lantern, Klein's feet, which were wearing buckless leather shoes, stepped firmly on the ground at the bottom of the deep ravine. The endless darkness around him seemed to hide monsters one after another.
In front of him was Chernobyl, which was made up of layers of "gray".
With the lightning in the sky and the lantern in his hand working together, Klein soon discovered a situation.
This thick and wide grayish-white building didn't have a door!
Yes, every place is sealed … I remember that the ancient Sun God opened an illusory rift in the grayish-white wall … Klein thought as he found the spot in his memories and began chanting The Fool's honorific name.
In the easternmost part of the Forsaken Land of the Gods, beside the solidified fog near Moon City, Klein, who was hiding in the Historical Void, immediately entered Sefirah Castle. With the help of the prayer light, he used his "true vision" to scan the situation in Chernobyl.
There wasn't a single Amon in the deep ravine and the remnants of the grayish-yellow fog in the wilderness.
As for Chernobyl itself, even with the "true vision" provided by Sefirah Castle, Klein was unable to see what was happening inside.
Beneath the layers of "grayish-white," there seemed to be absolute nothingness without any color.
It's indeed not simple … As expected of a place where the ancient Sun God, the City of Silver's Creator, walked out … Klein sighed inwardly as he quickly left Sefirah Castle and returned to the historical fragment from before the First Epoch.
Outside Chernobyl, Klein regained his consciousness as he reached out his hand and took out Leymano's Travels.
He quickly flipped to one of the pages and prepared to use the Apprentice's "Door Opening."
Such a move was actually a little rash for Klein, but considering that it was only a Historical Void projection, he felt that it wasn't a problem.
Beyonders of the Seer pathway are indeed cautious and rash at the same time. I'm cautious when preparing, and rash after making preparations, showing the duality of caution and recklessness … As Klein lampooned himself, he silently passed through the obstacle and entered Chernobyl.
After repeatedly "Opening Doors," he finally left the place where the "grayish-white" was poured. He saw a thick, half-open metal door in front of him.
The metal door wasn't tall, only about 2.5 meters tall. It was clearly prepared for humans.
In front of it were two pitch-black traces and two firearms that were more sci-fi than any weapon of the current era.
These two firearms were a little similar to the ones Klein had seen in magazines in his previous life, but he wasn't a fan of such things, so he couldn't be sure.
Klein didn't pick them up, nor did he attempt to study them. This was because his spiritual intuition told him that the two gun-like weapons had been completely corroded. Any touch would instantly cause them to dissipate and turn into bubbles.
After taking a look, Klein dispelled Leymano's Travels. With a lantern in hand, he passed through the two pitch-black traces and arrived behind the metal door.
There was a very wide aisle, and on both sides were rooms of different sizes. Some of the tables and chairs inside had toppled over. Some were intact, while others were missing half of them. The walls and ground were covered in black traces.
It looks like a research institute … Klein made a preliminary judgment based on the remnant items and overall layout.
Without needing him to search deliberately, he soon discovered a room with a collapsed machine. On the table were a few yellowish pieces of paper.
They seemed to have been casually placed there after someone had gathered them.
The ancient Sun God or Amon? Klein hesitated for two seconds before finally stepping into the room.
The lantern's dim yellow light dispersed the darkness inside. He picked up the few pages and quickly scanned them.
Ten seconds later, Klein put down the piece of paper as the corners of his mouth twitched.
He didn't recognize a single word on the few pages!
I barely passed English in my previous life, much less other languages? Klein suddenly felt how the other Beyonders in this World felt when they read Rosell's diary.
He slowly exhaled, extended his hand into the void, and took out an item.
This was a translation device that Zhou Mingrui had specially bought when he had saved up some money to travel overseas. During the luck enhancement ritual, it had been in the computer bag beside him.
To Klein, the greatest advantage of the translation device was that it could translate offline — as long as it didn't exceed the built-in dictionary.
After some fiddling with it, he finally understood what was written on the few pages.
"… Research on the situation of oil production in a dried up oil field … Why would they build a research institute in a place that no one else would think of?
"… God, what did they discover deep in the oil field …
"… These are really some wonderful materials …
"… What exactly happened? The doctor turned into a pool of black oil in front of me! "
"… More and more people are turning into oil. The research institute is sealed off from the outside … No one can leave. No one can leave …"
"… Madness. Everyone has gone mad. We're the only ones who are still normal, but our food is running out …"
"… I think I'm hearing things. There seems to be a voice coming from underground. It's summoning me. 'He' is summoning me!"
The simple and straightforward text sent a chill down Klein's spine. He had the feeling that he was walking towards madness and death, one step at a time.
At the same time, a thought naturally surfaced in his mind:
The pollution that originated from underground.
The cause of all this was the discovery of some strange geological material during the research of the dried up oil field, and unnecessary in-depth experiments were done? Then, the World was destroyed? But if it was a disaster caused by such a coincidence, then it doesn't make sense for me, Rosell The Great, and the others to obtain the item that helped us "transmigrate" ahead of time … Perhaps, there's a coincidence in the inevitable, and there's an inevitability hidden in a coincidence? The pollution from underground had actually been affecting the human World, but it wasn't obvious. It could only intermittently bring about some mysterious events. When this research progressed, "He" would completely awaken? Klein subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
He carried the lantern and left the room, heading deeper into the research institute. He paid close attention to his surroundings to see if there was anything worth paying attention to.
After walking for dozens of seconds, his vision suddenly turned much darker.
More than half of the lantern's dim yellow light was devoured by the area in front of him!
Klein took a closer look and realized that there was a "cliff" two steps away.
That part of the research institute had collapsed into the ground. It was dark and empty, with no end in sight.
Vaguely, Klein seemed to hear a silent cry. It came from deep underground and directly sounded in his mind.
Klein had once had such a feeling. It was brought about by the bronze door in the Hall of Truth.
He frowned slightly and took a few steps back, prepared to dispel the Historical Void projection at any moment.
At this moment, a palm that was so shriveled that only skin and bones were left reached out from the darkness and grabbed the edge of the "cliff."
Then, a figure jumped out and landed in front of Klein.
He was wearing a pointed hat and a classic black robe. There was a monocle in his right eye socket. He was none other than the Angel of Time, Amon.
However, Amon's condition wasn't normal. He was like a skeleton covered in skin.
Klein subconsciously took a few steps back as he watched Amon's flesh and blood rapidly fill up.
"He" nudged "His" monocle and smiled.
"There's actually a visitor.
"You are?"
