Chapter 508 The Forgotten Ghost
"Tianquan Immortal Fate Quest: Complete the full version of the Ziwei Exorcising Array and break through the Birth Demon Pool."

As the decision-maker among the Seven Star Immortals, Tianquan once stormed into the Heavenly Gate with the Demon Emperor and witnessed its true appearance.

Unlike Kaiyang, Tianquan knew more and thought more, and was highly involved in all of the Seven Star Immortals' plans. Therefore, Tianquan's immortal destiny mission was more difficult than Kaiyang's.

In the instance, it wasn't until Eileen defeated the Demon Emperor and a notification popped up in Wu Chang's eyes that he had successfully helped An Rong compete for the Dao that they were deemed to have broken through the Birth Demon Pool and completed the Heavenly Power Immortal Fate quest.

After defeating the Demon Emperor, he immediately turned his attention to the Abyss Game Administrator and Tianmen, leaving him no time to carefully review the settlement of the Tianquan Immortal Fate quest.

Now that things have come to a close, he finally has time to confirm the outcome of the Immortal Fate Mission.

"You have gained the recognition of the Heavenly Power Immortal Fate and received the true inheritance within it."

"Your special condition—literary talent has transformed into innate ability."

Talent Name: Literary Fortune

"Talent Description: Your understanding of formations and rituals is greatly increased. The effects of the formations and rituals you use will receive a bonus to your energy attribute, with the bonus being (energy attribute/10)%%"

You can transform your skills and abilities into formations or rituals. The formations and rituals you set up can merge with the rules of the world, perfectly unleashing their effects.

"Note: Those who are blessed with literary talent understand the rules of heaven and earth, have extensive knowledge and a strong memory, and can draw inferences from one instance to another."

Similar to the settlement of the Kaiyang Immortal Destiny, the Book of Literary Fortune also transformed into a divine seed within the Immortal Destiny.

Item Name: Seed of Literary Fortune

Item Type: Special

"Item Description: This is a seed containing the divine essence of the God of Literature. When the holder refines two array or ritual abilities to the Lord level and masters the true meaning of the array or rules, the seed of literary fortune can be activated, and the divine essence of the God of Literature can be obtained."

The Seed of Literary Fortune is easier to activate than the Seed of Martial Fortune. Wu Chang's mysticism has already reached the Lord level, thus fulfilling half of the requirements from the outset.

If he learns another lord-level formation or ritual, he will gain the divinity of the God of Literature.

In the past, even for him, finding another lord-level formation or ritual would not have been easy.

Now that he has the occult notes left by Shi Ning, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find a lord-level ritual from them, as long as he has the time.

Thinking about this, Shi Ning's identity in his mind became even more certain.

Given how meticulous Shi Ning is, he will definitely lend a hand if any of the clones he leaves behind encounter trouble in the future.

He put the Book of Literary Fortune back into his personal space. This settlement was coming to an end, with only one bloody last message remaining to be settled.

That was the blood-red last message left by the white wolf in the midnight graveyard.

[He salvaged the situation in the qualifying instance, astonished everyone in the world instance, and became one of the most dazzling figures in the instance.]

From the white wolf's bloody last words, it's clear that he had no sense of teamwork; all he cared about was his own brilliance.

Wu Chang did not dislike this.

In terms of breathtaking skill, whether it was Eileen using the Blade of Order to slay the Abyss Game Administrator, or his main body and true self combining their powers to shatter the Heavenly Gate, both were absolutely breathtaking.

As for the most eye-catching presence in the dungeon, there is no doubt that he not only attracted the attention of the original inhabitants and players of the dungeon, but also the Light Society, the Void Realm players, and even the Abyss Administrator outside the dungeon couldn't help but turn their attention to him.

This level of brilliance was something White Wolf could never have imagined while he was alive. How could he not be satisfied with something so dazzling?

The white wolf's blood-red last words provided Wu Chang with a bit of life, two points of inspiration, and a bit of willpower.

In addition, his resentment also brought Wu Chang a prop.

The prop is a thumb-length, wolf-tooth-shaped crystal pendant, with black smoke faintly visible inside the transparent pendant.

"Item name: Lunar Eclipse"

Item Type: Consumable

Item Level: B

"Item Description: Using this item will immediately cause a lunar eclipse. During the eclipse, everyone except you will have impaired vision. You will transform into a werewolf and enter hunting mode."

While in Hunting mode, your speed, agility, and strength are increased by 30%, and you gain 15% life steal. Your attacks will inflict bleeding. You can mark a prey with your scent or an item, gain vision of the prey, and detect the location of your target.

The duration of the lunar eclipse is: Inspiration Attribute/minute. The duration of the lunar eclipse will refresh after the target is defeated.

Note: Please close your eyes when it gets dark.

It has to be said that although White Wolf is a pretty bad player, the items he drops are actually quite useful.

If he had this item when he was chasing Lin Jiang, he could have entered the instance with Lin Jiang's personal belongings and found and killed Lin Jiang on the first night inside the instance.

Combined with the vision-damaging effect of a lunar eclipse, it's absolutely a must-have for murder, robbery, home life, and travel.

Having received White Wolf's blood-red last words, the matter of the world instance is temporarily put to rest.

Receiving the blood-red last words from Schultz, Martial Arts Fanatic, and White Wolf in succession brought his Inspiration attribute to 203 points, meeting the requirements for activating his second job advancement item.

Wu Chang first glanced at the Poison of Mortals. This world dungeon, driven by the Light Society, was larger in scale than ever before, and the energy value gained from conquering it was far greater than that from an S-rank dungeon.

Clearing the world dungeon itself grants 6 energy points, and absorbing the erosion core of the S-rank dungeon grants 12 energy points.

With the 26 points of energy accumulated previously, the second round of extraction of the Mortal Poison brings the total energy to 44/50.

A-rank dungeons in the Desolate Realm can provide 5.5 energy points per dungeon, and even the easiest dungeons in the Realm of Reason can provide the final 6 energy points per dungeon.

The next time I enter the Abyss game dungeon, I'll definitely be able to collect enough energy by the time I finish the walkthrough.

After confirming that there were no problems, Wu Chang took out his second job change item.

"Item Name: Virtual Reality Interactive Device"

"Item Description: Is the boundary between virtual and reality truly blurred? Only by wearing this can you find the answer you seek."

"Qualification requirements: Willpower attribute 288/200, qualified. Inspiration attribute 203/200, qualified. Virtual reality successfully activated. Player, would you like to enter virtual reality now?"

The virtual reality interactive device was a tool he obtained when he underwent psionic activation surgery at Anthem Corporation.

The Bureau's intelligence database once mentioned that players can obtain a class change that best suits them through psionic stimulation surgery.

After all, the principle of psychic stimulation surgery is to develop the brain of the recipient, enabling them to awaken previously undiscovered powers. The abilities one is born with must be the most suitable for them.

Wu Chang put on the VR glasses-like virtual reality interactive device on his head, took a deep breath, and said:
"Enter."

The screen in front of him lit up, and a large number of fast-moving lights appeared before his eyes, forming a tunnel that led him into it.

Accompanied by an intense tearing sensation, his vision blurred, as if he had used his talent to enter the resentment, and he found himself in the scene presented to him by the virtual reality interactive device.

When he came to his senses, he had turned into a child.

In the scene, he is not observing from a third-person perspective, nor from the child's first-person perspective, but rather from an over-the-shoulder perspective that is somewhere in between.

The child, who is the main character in the scene, is only about one year old. He is just able to stand and try to walk independently. He walks unsteadily, and it seems like he will fall down with every step.

A look of confusion crossed his mind; what was going on?

This was not his first job change. When he changed jobs to become a Mystic Knight, he learned about the origin and rise and fall of the Mystic Knights through the Mystic Knights' Newcomer Rules, and thus gained a sense of identity with his own profession.

The second job advancement should be the same, so why does the virtual reality interactive device make him see a child?
In his eyes, the child was a complete stranger and looked quite ordinary. He had no idea what the child had to do with his job change.

But the scene had already been activated, so he could only patiently watch on.

Perhaps in this scene, he focused his attention on the child, whose world was different from that of normal people.

From a child's perspective, everything around him is so different. He lives in a huge palace, and in the mirror, he is the prince in his mother's story who will slay the dragon and rescue the princess.

In his eyes, his parents were fire giants; they were strong, reliable, warm, and full of love for him.

The child is very young, but his mind is developing rapidly. His parents are wonderful, but they are giants, and he cannot yet speak like a giant to communicate with them.

He longed for someone with whom he could communicate on equal footing. This desire grew stronger in his mind until one day, when his parents were not around, he suddenly heard a voice.

The voice reached the heart directly; the speaker knew what the listener was thinking and communicated with him in a way that he could understand.

For him, the companion who stayed by his side felt closer than his parents, who were difficult to communicate with.

Children feel close to the voice in their hearts, but from Wu Chang's perspective, it is terrifying.

He possessed the child from an over-the-shoulder perspective, just like when he entered the body of resentment in the past. He could experience everything the child heard, saw, and felt.

But he couldn't hear that voice.

If he couldn't sense what the child was thinking, he would definitely think that the child was delusional or had made up a friend.

The voice communicating with the child bypassed him; even when he opened his mind to its maximum, he still couldn't hear a sound.

Not only that, but even the part of the child's mind that involves that voice, he can only see a blurry phantom.

You should know that he now has a total of 200 points of inspiration.

Even so, despite knowing that a mysterious being was right in front of him, he still couldn't sense it or know where it came from.

This was the first time he had encountered this situation since entering the Abyss Game. No wonder the virtual reality interactive device required 200 points of inspiration to activate. If he didn't have 200 points of inspiration, he probably wouldn't have even been able to detect the existence of that mysterious voice.

He couldn't see the mysterious entity; he could only guess what was happening by relying on the child's vague thoughts and emotions.

The child and the mysterious voice became acquainted very quickly, and in just a few days they became good friends.

Their communication became increasingly close, gradually evolving from conversations that only took place when no one was around to the voice appearing even when their parents were present.

Wu Chang discovered that not only could he not detect the existence of the mysterious voice, but the child's parents could not sense it either. The mysterious presence seemed to be a ghost that only children could detect.

As the child grows older, around one and a half years old, they begin to learn to speak.

However, he was not as energetic as other children. He was very quiet and neither ran around the neighborhood nor fought for the children's slide in the center of the neighborhood.

In his eyes, those children were too immature, not only in personality but also in appearance.

They were all simple-looking like stick figures. They had simple minds, could not communicate, and made sharp cries and screams, which were very annoying. They were far less friendly and interesting than his friend beside him.

Children are sometimes more sensitive to emotions than adults. If a child looks down on his or her peers, those same children will naturally isolate him as well.

And so, in people's eyes, the child became an introverted, eccentric person who disliked communicating with others and liked to talk to himself.

The reason why children think their peers are childish is that from the day they can speak, the connection between them and ghosts breaks down a barrier, and ghosts can use their abilities to influence children.

During the day, the child often hears words and phrases he doesn't understand, and each time he encounters them, he asks the ghost about them.

Whether the ghost couldn't explain it or wanted to teach him through experience, every night the ghost would take his soul on a journey.

He wanted to see high mountains, so the ghost took his soul to the world's most famous mountains, where he stood on the summit and looked down at the surrounding sea of ​​clouds.

He wanted to see whales, so the ghost took his soul to the deep sea and swam with the whales.

He wanted to know what a galaxy was, so the ghost took his soul to space to gaze at the river of countless stars.

Wu Chang couldn't hear the ghost's voice, but from the child's fragmented mutterings, he roughly understood what had happened.

The scene the child saw was not actually the ghost taking his soul to observe it in person, but rather the ghost receiving the child's question during the day and going to see it for himself first.

At night, the ghost allows the child to enter its memories and experience everything it had experienced.

Even from the very beginning, when the ghost and the child started talking, it wasn't that the ghost approached the child first, but rather that the child saw the ghost while passing through the area and initiated a conversation with the ghost.

Only children can see ghosts, so the ghost stopped and became his friend.

Days passed, but one day, the ghost disappeared from the child's life.

Even on his second birthday, no ghost appeared.

He was very worried and afraid of losing this friend. That night, he had a strong desire to see the ghost.

But the ghost had vanished completely, and no matter how he made a sound to it, it did not respond.

In his desperation, he remembered that the ghost had once taken him to a lakeside cabin, which the ghost said was its secret base, the most peaceful corner in its heart.

So he desperately tried to recall what the lakeside cabin looked like, and under his intense desire, the scene before his eyes distorted, and he actually appeared at the lakeside cabin.

Before he could search for the ghost, he heard a cry of alarm from beside him:

"What are you doing here! It's dangerous here, run!"

This time, not only the child, but Wu Chang also heard the ghost's voice, a childish voice, like that of a little girl.

Before he could observe his surroundings further and try to see the ghost's true form, the lakeside hut suddenly collapsed.

The child's vision went black, his consciousness leaving the lakeside cabin and returning to the crib where he was lying.

The shockwave from the collapse of the lakeside hut caused blood to seep from the child's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. The fear and pain made him cry out loud.

The parents, who were fast asleep, were awakened by the crying. They went to the bedside and saw their child crying with blood flowing from all seven orifices. They were immediately terrified.

The two didn't even bother to change their clothes; still in their pajamas and slippers, they picked up their child and rushed out of the room, taking a taxi to the best hospital in the city.

After a series of examinations, the hospital concluded that the child only had a common high fever, and the cause of the bleeding from the seven orifices was unknown, but according to the tests, there were no abnormalities in the child's head and body.

Although the parents were skeptical, they were finally relieved to see their child gradually fall asleep after treatment.

The child had a high fever for three days. When the fever subsided and the child opened his eyes again, the world he saw had changed.

To be precise, the once bizarre world in the eyes of children has returned to normal.

His parents, who had once seemed like giants of fire to him, had become ordinary people. When they saw that their child had regained consciousness, they immediately came over and asked him if he felt any discomfort or what he wanted to eat.

The child didn't react as his parents approached, but Wu Chang, standing to the side, was not calm.

He stared intently at the two of them; if he weren't observing from a different perspective, he would have practically popped his eyes out.

No, aren't these young couple in front of him his parents?

When did they have another child behind his back?
When Lao Wu picked up the child and returned home from the hospital, Wu Chang saw through the reflection in the glass that the child in his father's arms was himself when he was young.

Ever since that high fever, the child has become a completely different person.

He seemed to have forgotten all memories related to ghosts, and did not remember that there was a mysterious being who had taken him to see mountains and seas of clouds, oceans and starry rivers at midnight.

No longer muttering to himself in a strange way, he blends in with his peers and has been the leader of the kids since childhood, always being the boss wherever he goes.

The child in the scene grows up quickly. When he grows up and turns around, he meets Wu Changsi's eyes.

This child became Wu Chang.

Wu Chang's vision blurred, the scene in the virtual reality interactive device froze, and a prompt popped up in front of him.

"Players use a virtual reality interactive device to successfully unleash their potential, awakening it into a unique class that suits them best."

"Choosing to begin the job change will activate the job change quest. After completing all the job change quests, the player will obtain the job - Mind Traveler."

"Please note that once you begin the job change process, the job change item will disappear. If you stop or abandon the job change quest midway, the job change item will not be refunded."

"Please confirm whether you wish to begin the job change process."
