The middle-aged man, whose face was covered in ulcers, slowly turned his head and saw an Asian man standing behind him at some point in time.
The Asian man did not speak to him. Instead, he walked to the bookshelf and started flipping through the books on it.
The book that the man flipped open was called "The Chronicles of the Empire".
The middle-aged man's expression was unsightly. He looked at the window beside him that had been opened at some point, and then looked at the figure standing in front of the bookshelf. Only then did he slowly stand up. He wanted to scream, but his rationality told him that if he made any sound, he would most likely die in the next second.
Then, there was a deathly silence.
The atmosphere in the room was getting more and more oppressive. The middle-aged man was almost out of breath. His plump cheeks trembled silently as beads of cold sweat dripped down his face. In just a short while, his brocade robes were drenched in sweat.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
But at this moment, there was another knock on the door. The man was overjoyed, but he didn't speak. He just kept looking at the figure with his back facing him. Then, the door to the study was opened with a creak.
The man's butler appeared at the door.
"Master, someone just said..."
The man's butler was an old man with a white beard. As soon as he walked in, he saw the unfamiliar figure beside the bookshelf. He looked at his master strangely and saw the panic and hope in his master's eyes.
"So, you're welcoming an important guest."
The old man seemed to understand something. However, he did not show it. He just slowly retreated as usual. At the same time, he said, "If that's the case, I won't disturb you..."
However, before he could step out of the room, he suddenly felt an itch on his neck. At the same time, a warm current spurted out.
The old man was puzzled. He touched it instinctively and felt a hot liquid.
"Thump!"
Then, the old man's head fell to the ground the moment he lowered his head. The headless body slowly knelt and then lay on the ground, twitching.
As if an invisible wind had blown past, the door to the study closed with a bang.
"Gulp..."
When the middle-aged man saw this, he could not help but gulp.
"Sigh..."
The Asian man suddenly let out a sigh. He slowly turned his head, revealing a pair of dark eyes. "You're the castellan of Laman City, Niuceus Laman?"
The middle-aged man nodded and showed a humble expression. "Sir, may I know why you are here? If I remember correctly, I don't think I've ever offended a high-level psionicist. "
The other party's expression was emotionless. "Of course you haven't offended me, but I need you to do something for me."
"May I ask what the matter is, sir?"
Niuceus asked cautiously. As the third generation of the Duke, he was not as stubborn as the founder of his family. Years of aristocratic life had eroded his will, and the first thing he wanted to do now was to survive no matter what.
"I need to borrow your identity to help me collect all the information that can help me in this era."
The Asian man patted the bookshelf in front of him with a playful expression. "I want to know everything about the Divine Fusion Empire, the Divine Fusion Vatican, the Joint Resistance Army, and your god — Alosorthoth!"
Niuceus was shocked to hear this. He seemed to have understood something and took a closer look at the other party's face. He noticed that the other party did not look old at all. In fact, one could even say that he looked young.
However, due to the influence of those deep, bottomless eyes, one could not tell the age of the other party...
Niuceus felt a strange sense of familiarity with this face. It was as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"You seem to have noticed something?"
Chen Chen saw Niuceus' expression as if he had seen a ghost and immediately asked.
"You..."
Niuceus opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he shook his head. "No, perhaps I've remembered wrongly, sir. I'm willing to follow your orders! As long as you can save my life! "
"Of course, I won't hesitate to reward those who work for me."
Chen Chen suddenly smiled mysteriously. A trace of Field energy slowly spread out from his mind and probed into Niuceus's head. Niuceus instantly felt a swelling sensation coming from between his eyebrows. Then, he felt a strange, icy sensation penetrating deep into his mind!
"Ah!"
An indescribable pain overwhelmed Niuceus. He immediately clutched his head with both hands and screamed in agony. However, no matter how loud he screamed, the guards outside the door seemed to be dead. No one dared to barge in.
However, this pain left as quickly as it came. Just when Niuceus thought that the other party was going to kill him, the pain suddenly subsided like the tide. Still, for someone like Niuceus who had been living a comfortable life for a long time, this kind of pain was enough to kill him.
Niuceus's fleshy body lay on the ground like a dead dog. His clothes were disheveled and he panted heavily.
"Huh?"
Chen Chen observed Niuceus with great interest and murmured, "I can't believe he withstood the pain. This must be one of the uses of psionic powers..."
Niuceus's mind was completely blank as he was in a buffer period from the pain. He did not hear Chen Chen's murmur at all. It took a while for his eyes to regain focus. To his surprise, he felt a cold sensation in his mind.
He did not know what it was but it gave off an icy aura that made him feel especially comfortable as if he was floating in the clouds.
"You can get up now."
Chen Chen turned around and walked to Niuceus's chair and slowly sat down. "Judging by the scars all over your face, it's obvious that you're trying to obtain psionic powers. In that case, I'll grant you your wish and give you a seed.
"From now on, that seed will serve as a boundary. As long as you meditate on the seed, you'll be granted the power of psionic powers."
"What?"
Niuceus shuddered when he heard this. His already exhausted body shuddered again. "I obtained psionic powers? Impossible... "
"You can try."
Chen Chen sneered. He picked up a soup ladle from the side of the chair and hurled it at Niuceus. Niuceus instinctively raised his hand to block it but before he could do so, he felt a cold sensation coming from between his eyebrows. Then, an inexplicable force burst forth from his forehead!
"Clang!"
The soup ladle clanged against the ground and fell to the ground.
Niuceus was once again dumbfounded. He stared at his hands as if he had seen a ghost, then slowly raised his head to look at Chen Chen who was sitting on the chair.
At this moment, the impact on his mind was so great that even his worldview was beginning to waver!
This was because the sacred scripture of the Empire, the Divine Fusion Scripture, stated that only God Alosorthoth had the right to bestow psionic powers upon his people.
"This is just a little sweetness."
Chen Chen lowered his head. The shadows in the room obscured his vision. "Alosorthoth won't know about this. It's just a seed of psionic powers. If you can please me and satisfy me, I'll reward you with more."
"Do it now. I hope you'll give me a satisfactory answer the next time I come."
Chen Chen's final words echoed in the room. When Niuceus came back to his senses, he found that Chen Chen had already disappeared.
"How, how is this possible..."
Niuceus opened his mouth in bewilderment. He seemed to have thought of something and began to rummage through the bookshelf like a madman. After a while, he found a book called The Legendary History of the Divine Fusion Empire. He flipped through it page by page and finally stopped at an oil painting!
In the oil painting, there were two figures facing each other in the sky. One of them was the god of the Divine Fusion Church, Alosorthoth. On the other side of the god was a man.
The man's face was a little blurry but he still had strange short hair. The shape of the man's face coincided with the mysterious man that Niuceus had seen earlier...
Below the oil painting, there was a small line of text — Battle between God and Devil.
Niuceus' hands trembled. His entire body trembled as if he had been electrocuted. That man, that man, he was...
...
Chen Chen left Laman.
He flew in the air, thinking about everything that had just happened.
Just now, he suddenly had a sudden impulse and planted a seed in the Consciousness Stealer's mind.
Before this, when the Field in his mind began to fuse with the psionic power he obtained from consuming the Consciousness Stealer, he had been thinking about how to use the psionic power.
As far as he knew, a part of the psionic power overlapped with the Field energy. For example, the ability to telekinesis. Other than that, the psionic power must have a more profound use.
Therefore, he decided to give it a try and implant a trace of psionic power into the Consciousness Stealer's mind.
As expected, the Consciousness Stealer did not die. The moment the seed was implanted, Chen Chen had a feeling that the Consciousness Stealer's life had become his appendage.
The Consciousness Stealer's life depended on a single thought.
This was one of the true uses of psionic power.
Of course, the psionic power obtained by ordinary people and the psionic power he obtained from the Consciousness Stealer were two different things. The psionic power obtained by ordinary people was a simplified version of the psionic power, but what he obtained was the authentic psionic power of the Consciousness Stealer.
"In that case, the Consciousness Stealer's ability to digest human consciousness and even cause the strange fusion death of humans is due to a similar ability..."
Chen Chen muttered to himself. If this was the case, he should be able to do this as well. If his body was destroyed, he might be able to resurrect from the Consciousness Stealer of Laman.
Of course, one Laman alone was not enough. He would need tens of thousands of hosts to resurrect himself with sufficient power.
Chen Chen narrowed his eyes at this thought.
Psionic power was not comparable to Field in terms of power and potential, but if it was combined with the ability to resurrect, it would be an incredible feat.
With this in mind, Chen Chen quickly flew forward. This time, he chose the direction of the South. He was curious to see what the Eco Science City and the Spire Experimental Base would look like in this world.
Moreover, when Chen Chen was making this request to Laman, a bold idea suddenly occurred to him. What would happen if the other half of his body was able to arrive in this world?
The Consciousness Stealer of this world was incredibly powerful. Even the current Chen Chen did not have the slightest chance of defeating it. In that case, he could use the power of that world to attack it —
A lost world. Although its civilization had disappeared, it still had a legacy that could drive anyone crazy...
It was just that it was impossible for anyone to travel from that world to this world, but Chen Chen was not one of them.
The reason was simple, he had the USB flash drive.
With this in mind, Chen Chen continued to accelerate. One time the speed of sound, two times the speed of sound, three times the speed of sound!
Chen Chen maintained his speed at three times the speed of sound. Although he could go even faster, the consumption of Field energy would increase exponentially. After all, Earth was not Mars. The atmospheric concentration on Earth was much higher than that on Mars. It was difficult to reach the speed of ten times the speed of sound on Mars.
Even so, it only took an hour and a half to travel from Niger to Namibia. The straight-line distance between the two was 4,650 kilometers. Chen Chen had to fly further. He wanted to fly to the Eco Science City in Namibia, a distance of about 5,000 kilometers.
After that, Chen Chen flew without a care for anything else. After an hour and a half, he had crossed countless moats and covered a distance that would take an average person several months to travel.
On the distant horizon, the phantom of the endless sea began to appear. Even the air was gradually becoming moist.
Chen Chen could smell the salty smell of the sea.
When Chen Chen arrived at his destination, he did not look too good.
What was once the Eco Science City was now nothing but a pile of collapsed ruins. Thousands of dilapidated walls lay along the coast. The corrosive ability of the seawater had caused the buildings that used to be there to collapse, and many steel buildings had also been torn apart.
The Eco Science City here had been abandoned for hundreds of years.
Chen Chen did not give up. He began to search for underground entrances in the city that could lead to the Spire Experimental Base. After a thorough search, he quickly found several entrances. However, these entrances had all collapsed, along with the underground tram and platform.
Seeing this, Chen Chen simply went to the seaside and directly dove in.
Chen Chen used the power of Field to prop himself up a three-meter diameter bubble. He used the oxygen in the bubble to swim to the bottom of the sea and soon found an entrance blocked by coral reefs and silt.
Chen Chen opened the entrance without thinking, only to find that the entrance had already been filled with seawater.
Seeing this, Chen Chen suddenly understood something.
Still, he continued to swim inside, passing through three unsealed gates. When he swam to the end, he still saw a pile of rocks blocking the entrance.
Seeing this, Chen Chen finally gave up. Obviously, the Spire Experimental Base had also collapsed.
