I materialized a sci-fi fortress in a magical world.

Chapter 98 Is this my future?

The overwhelming amount of information made Luo Yue a little dizzy, and she stood there stunned for several minutes before gradually coming back to her senses.

"The answer that took the beautiful teacher two hours to solve, I only took a second. So what's my talent? Was it on? Or was it forgotten to be off?"

"Wait! Something's not right. I can sense that I haven't completed this step. Even if I got the answer, I still can't complete the advancement ceremony—"

The entire advancement process is a complete procedure, and every step is indispensable. Luo Yue is like someone who skipped the solution process and only wrote the correct answer, which obviously won't get him full marks. He must make up for the missing steps.

He then discovered that the Android system in his mind actually packaged the problem-solving process as well, but he couldn't understand that process at all. It didn't use the system of his world at all, and even basic things like variables and symbols were completely different.

Therefore, in order to advance to the next level, he still had to solve the problem himself.

But it's always easier to apply the correct answer backwards once you know it.

So he completed the missing process in just half an hour, very smoothly and easily.

"That's enough for now. Next, I'll complete the advancement first, then the fortune telling, and only then can I come back to play on my phone."

Luo Yue resisted the urge to play on his phone, snapped out of his meditative state, and then adjusted the magic circle beneath his feet according to the specific steps of the occult ritual.

Then, guided by the magic circle, he mobilized the magic power and spiritual power within his body to achieve harmony with the magic circle.

The next second, Luo Yue felt two energies surge into his head and body at the same time, making his magic and mental power active and changing in nature.

He felt that the world before him had become clearer, and that he could see, hear, and touch something of a higher level.

At the same time, his limbs, bones, internal organs, and other organs also felt a life force that seemed to be real, and his lifespan and physiological functions were enhanced.

"Is this my first promotion? Not only have my magic and mental power doubled, but I feel like I've been reborn. I'm almost unrecognizable from my former self."

"No wonder the old drunkard can still cause so much trouble at his age; it turns out he's no ordinary person either."

"This is only the first rank advancement, the smallest change yet. The changes at the fifth and seventh ranks will definitely be much greater!"

Luo Yue felt the changes happening to his body and was filled with anticipation for a higher level.

He was originally a person with no great ambitions, who only wanted to live a peaceful life, but now, a desire to pursue higher and stronger goals has been ignited in his heart.

It's quite normal to have such a change in mindset. After five years of struggling to even get started, to reach level three in less than two months is a huge leap.

After a brief moment of reflection, Luo Yue composed himself and took out a small wooden stick and a divination tool.

"Phew~ Alright, let's do the fortune-telling that you only have six chances to do in your lifetime —"

The methods and procedures for taking over haven't changed much; the only difference is that it allows posing a question that was previously unanswerable: "What kind of future will I face? What kind of future will I face? What kind of future will I face?"

Luo Yue repeated the question three times and threw the stick.

The small wooden sticks spun in the air and landed on three nodes of the divination circle.

Before Luo Yue could identify the specific locations of the three nodes, he felt a blur before his eyes, and three images flashed by in an instant.

This means he has succeeded in seizing the opportunity; he has captured a fleeting glimpse of the future.

But when he used his mental power to extract the three images from his mind and carefully examined their details, he was momentarily stunned.

All three images are unrecognizable.

There was no specific information, only three patterns, which looked a bit like a jigsaw puzzle in my head.

Then, two seconds later, the three images of the future actually became a jigsaw puzzle—

The model number is slightly different from the previous ones, but they are all the same type, and a serial number appears on them:

[0-004, Chaos]

"Uh... why is my future a jigsaw puzzle? And a jigsaw puzzle with such a strange-sounding name?"

Luo Yue scratched his head a little, touched his body again, and then used his mental power to carefully check his own condition.

It's true that they advanced, but a small accident occurred during the final stage of the capture.

It's hard to say whether this accident was good or bad.

These puzzle pieces are called "Mysteries" by Serishina and her friends, and they are very valuable in the New World.

According to textbooks, one can see key moments or important turning points in one's destiny, and the information contained therein may save one's life or bring more benefits.

However, another perspective is that the future that can be glimpsed is not predetermined and will also face many changes and unexpected events. Therefore, we should not blindly follow the future we have glimpsed. If it is a good outcome, we should strive to welcome it, and if it is a bad outcome, we should strive to change it.

"Sigh~ Since I've already missed the opportunity, I might as well just consider it as a glimpse of three terrible futures. I'll be more careful in the future and try not to take any risks."

Luo Yue quickly adjusted his mindset. Anyway, his current situation looked pretty good and he was on the rise, so he didn't have to be discouraged just because he couldn't see the future.

"Okay, time to play on your phone."

He then returned to his mental space, and with a thought, the phone in his mind was retrieved and appeared in his hand.

"So, my phone and system are essentially like the Frankenstein's monster from before—an aggregate of various concepts?"

"Their true appearance, interface, and operating principle are not what I see with my own eyes, but rather what I understand from this concept."

"The Frankenstein's monster is scientifically known as the Gravedigger," and the last individual of their civilization, the cell phone, is scientifically known as the Management Terminal. The scene I saw earlier was about the Gravedigger and the final fragment of its civilization.

After playing on his phone for a while, Luo Yue made a summary and then raised a question: "So, the gravediggers and their civilization are those gods who disappeared two thousand years ago? Then what is this 'sea of ​​consciousness' they talk about?"

"Could it be emptiness?"

"I think so? After all, the last thing I saw was a black flood pouring into the temple, submerging everything, and then time passed, and I used a colossal earth and wood robot to demolish a theater and retrieve this ball of light."

--------------

"But in the gravedigger's final description, his civilization spent a huge price to create a sea of ​​consciousness, only to have it devour its own civilization in the process, and he also prophesied that no civilization could survive in the sea of ​​consciousness —"

"What are the connections and differences between these?"
