That was when Torras had just died. For a period of time, he hadn't degenerated into an undead. He was still in soul form. When his soul left his body, he didn't realize that he was already dead. Instead, he felt his body becoming lighter and began to float upward.
In the end, he managed to crawl out of the ground.
He felt a bit uncomfortable when he tried to walk through the ground. Still, he successfully made it through the thick ground.
He thought he had gained supernatural powers that allowed him to fly and travel through the ground, so he wanted to leave this mist-sealed area. He tried his best to fly, but he couldn't even see the sky above his head.
At this moment, Torras finally understood that he had been trapped in a box-like world. There was no exit on all sides.
Thus, he returned to the hole in frustration.
He still remembered that when he returned to the underground cave, he muttered, "What's the use of flying? Why don't you just give me the ability to teleport? I can just teleport out of here …"
When he raised his head, he saw that the skull beside the bed was emitting a golden light that lasted for a few minutes.
Torras didn't find it strange though. The skull had been glowing for a long time when he was dying, so he didn't find it strange at all. He didn't care about the light coming from the skull. Instead, he wanted to return to his bed to recuperate and reduce his consumption … even though he didn't feel hungry at the moment.
But just as he was about to lie down on the bed, he was surprised to find a shriveled and skinny man lying on the bed. The man was even wearing a horned helmet on his head ….
It was only then that Torras realized he was dead.
He was nothing more than a ghost now.
Torras stared at his own corpse, unwillingness and resentment filling his heart.
He was a positive and optimistic person who always had hope in life. Even when he was trapped in the darkest of places, he didn't give up on his life. He tried so hard to survive. Why did he have to do this to himself?
Torras was driven mad by his unwillingness to accept this outcome.
After that, a line appeared in his memory. After that, Torras' memory became a blur.
Come to think of it, from then on, he had degenerated into an undead.
…
While listening to Torras' story, Angor finally realized that the clue he was looking for all this time had appeared out of nowhere.
It was a skull shining with golden light.
Who did it belong to? It belonged to Lucas.
But why was Lucas' logbook so strange? Because there were always strange prophecies in it.
Torras said to the skull, "He wants to teleport," and the skull lit up with golden light. In the end, Torras' wish came true.
Just like the other prophecies, Torras' wish was delayed for several hundred years. It only came true after he became an undead.
Now he knew why. It was no wonder he felt a flash of inspiration when Torras was talking about the theory of destiny. Now he realized that the so-called "prophecies" weren't "prophecies" at all.
It was a power similar to the law of causality.
It used a mysterious power to interfere with the future and bring about a certain result. In the end, the "cause" would become "effect".
However, this kind of power obviously needed to be stored for a very long time. As a result, both Lucas' "prophecy" and Torras' "prayer" were delayed for hundreds of years before they could be fulfilled.
As for why the "subject" kept changing, for example, the main character of the sea of flowers changed from Lucas to Naya the Beauty. It was most likely because this ability to interfere with the future had its limits. It only considered things in the future and did not consider the current situation. For example, it would not consider the lifespan of the receiver.
Lucas was already at the end of his life, and it would take several hundred years for his wish to come true, so he couldn't do it himself.
Therefore, the mysterious power "forcibly corrected" the result.
Modifying the acceptor of the desired outcome caused everything that Lucas recorded in the logbook to become the "results" of other people.
As for the power that could cause something similar to the Law of Karma, there was no doubt that it was some mysterious object!
According to Torras, the "Mystery item" must be the skull at his bedside.
"If that skull is a Mystery item, why didn't I sense any Mystery power from it?" Angor was still confused, but he couldn't think of any other explanation.
This was the only way to connect all the dots.
For now, Angor didn't pay much attention to Torras, who was still reminiscing about the past. As long as he didn't fall, he didn't care.
Angor took out Lucas' logbook and decided to try again. He wanted to see if Lucas' logbook could match what happened in the future.
Following his idea, he soon found another entry. It was the latter part of Lucas' story about how he killed a pirate leader and looted a large amount of treasure.
He claimed that he had a treasure trove hidden in a pitch-black world. No one could find it, and only he could enter.
"That's it." The "treasure trove" was probably the dead island. Under the influence of the mysterious power, the island became real.
Angor didn't pay much attention to the other entries, such as the sea of flowers, the spirit of the island, and the wishing tree. He needed to find something related to the island.
Suddenly, he found another entry. "… I saw a fiery dragon fighting against another monster on the sea. The dragon died in the end. The monster on the sea was dying. I'm going to conquer it and turn it into a watchdog for my treasure trove! "
The "watchdog" in this entry wasn't referring to Leviathan, was it?
Angor kept reading until he found the next entry. "My treasure trove will dazzle the world for three thousand years!"
The entry didn't seem to contain much information, but Angor had a feeling that it was hinting at something. For example, his "treasure trove" might show up in three thousand years.
If that was the case, then it made sense. Three thousand years later, the sealed island was finally opened, but it was opened by the watchdog, Leviathan, who opened the door.
Angor kept reading and found more information about the "treasure trove" at the end of the entry.
It clearly stated that the Feather Fan was placed in the treasure trove by him, and that he himself would stay in the treasure trove for a long time … Both of these plans were fulfilled in the end. The Feather Fan appeared on that island, and after Lucas died in the well, he was brought here by a mysterious force.
Now, Angor was sure that the "third party" was the Mystery item that could interfere with the future.
Angor closed the entry and looked at the title. "The Most Honest Captain of the Age of Gold — Lucas."
Maybe Lucas really was a liar in history.
Or maybe Lucas himself didn't know that there was a Mystery item growing inside his body.
It was precisely because of this that this farce happened later on.
Angor couldn't help but ponder. He knew that Mystery items could be born naturally or artificially. If he was right, the Mystery item inside Lucas' body was born naturally. But what was the rule of nature? How did Lucas, a liar, manage to create a Mystery item?
All of this was a mystery that Angor could only explore in the future.
Of course, Angor had to be right first. There was a Mystery item inside Lucas' body, and the item's function had to be related to the law of causality. Otherwise, all his ideas would be overturned.
Still, Angor believed that he was close to the truth.
Although his analysis was clear and logical, his heart was actually bleeding. That was a mysterious item, and one that was so powerful that it could even interfere with the outcome of the future!
Even if there were limitations or drawbacks in the way he did it, and it might take him hundreds of years to achieve his goal.
But that didn't change the fact that it was a powerful Mystery item.
"If I have this Mystery item, I can just pray that I can become a legendary or above in the future." Angor thought to himself. Of course, he also knew that there was a limit to how much he could do. He might even be forced to use it on other wizards. But he didn't mind.
Anyway, he didn't have the skull. Maybe Lucas' body was already in the hands of Song of the Deep or Summerdew Ridge.
Angor's heart ached when he thought about how he failed to find the Mystery item that was so close to his fingertips. Even Toby reminded him about it.
The only thing he could do now was to comfort himself that he was still alive.
As long as he was still alive, he would find more Mystery items like this in the future.
"Life has its ups and downs. Being too perfect is a waste of time."
Torras suddenly exclaimed, "Mister Wizard, is that skull some kind of holy item? Is it some kind of wish item? I said I wanted to teleport, and it did it?! "
Torras suddenly frowned. "But … if it's a Mystery item, why didn't it come true when I wished to leave the island?"
"You're out now, aren't you?"
"But I'm already dead. It's been two thousand years."
"No matter how much time has passed, no matter what state you're in, even if you're dead, it still granted your wish, didn't it?"
Torras hesitated for a moment. "You're right. If that's the case, my prayers for more ships, for someone to take me out, and for me to not die … all came true."
