I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

"Is there even a need to ask? Of course, He sent me."

Leopard answered matter-of-factly.

Chapter 947 [Old Tales of the Ruined Capital]

"Him? Charlotte? What does He want you to do?"

Lu Ban pressed for more information.

"He told me to give this to you."

Leopard yawned and handed a small booklet from under her skirt—perhaps from where it had been warmed earlier—to Lu Ban.

Lu Ban saw strange, ruined script written on it. Since the Silent Land seemed unable to help with the translation for the time being, Lu Ban materialized a silver pen called "Last Words" and directly opened the illusory pages of the booklet.

[Old News from the Ruined Capital]

The documents that record the history of the ruined capital contain many secrets and should not be read lightly. Secrets are secrets precisely because they are dangerous.

[It encompasses humanities, geography, mythology, and tradition, offering ample opportunities for enrichment and immediate transformation.]

[It may even contain the deepest secrets of the ruined capital. Be careful, it's best to make sure you've written your will before reading.]

Lu Ban never expected that this was the last thing he lacked.

【Old News from the Ruined Capital】

Once Lu Ban obtains this, he can complete the final extraction of the [Last Words].

As for what state the [Last Words] will ultimately become, Lu Ban doesn't know.

He flipped through the booklet, which was filled with dense text, but unfortunately, Lu Ban didn't recognize a single word.

This thing does not have the characteristic of spreading knowledge and pollution upon contact.

In the hands of an ordinary person, it would probably just be a common book of scribbles, completely useless.

For those who can decipher the script of the Wasteland, it may contain the deepest secrets of the Wasteland.

Of course, Lu Ban could guess the secret even with a snap of his fingers: the mastermind behind the ruined city was Charlotte, an incarnation of an Outer God.

Charlotte sent you here?

Lu Ban thought about this and felt strange again.

"That's right. I am, after all, His incarnation in your foreign land. It's quite easy for me to come and visit."

Leopard said that she casually produced some snacks on the table, including cookies, jerky, and fruit, and ate them while talking to Lu Ban.

Lu Ban also picked up a cookie, put it in his mouth, and found it tasted pretty good, but he didn't know exactly what it was made of.

Oh well, a little dirt won't hurt.

Lu Ban thought to himself that he had eaten quite a lot of things, and as long as he didn't die from eating, he could eat as much as he wanted.

"How is He?"

Lu Ban asked again.

At this question, Leopard fell silent.

"We can't get in touch with Him."

"What?"

Lu Ban hadn't reacted yet.

"As an avatar, I should have been able to roughly know His location, or at least sense His condition, but now, I'm not sure if He's still alive."

Leopard sucked on the food crumbs on its fingers and said it was no big deal.

"Of course, if He dies, well, He probably won't die. If He's sealed away, it won't affect me much. I'll still eat and play as usual."

Hearing this, Lu Ban had a feeling that something might have gone wrong.

I encountered the "Dark Ones," and after being exposed to the pollution that caused them to swell, I inexplicably ended up here, with a strange flute in my hand.

Charlotte lost contact again and asked Leopard to wait for Lu Ban in the ruined city and give him the "Old News of the Ruins".

Lu Ban strongly suspected that Charlotte had done something strange in all of this.

Given this, Lu Ban felt that Charlotte definitely hoped Lu Ban could obtain the "Old News of the Ruined Capital" and extract the essence of the "Last Words".

If I can extract the essence of Charlotte's last words, I will probably be able to understand Charlotte's intentions.

Thinking of this, Lu Ban materialized a silver fountain pen in his hand [Last Words].

Prior to this, the [Grey Tower Foundation Stone] and the [Primordial Cherry Blossom] had already been placed here.

Lu Ban didn't know if it would work if the system in the Silent Land crashed, but he had gathered all three items.

Everything is ready except for the system.

Thinking of this, Lu Ban suddenly had a whimsical idea.

If the system in the Silent Land malfunctions, he can create a new system on the spot; it's uncertain whether that will help him complete the essence.

He immediately began writing on his body with a pen.

Although he didn't know exactly how the Silent Land worked, Lu Ban thought that a system wasn't a troublesome thing. He wrote and drew, and soon he had written "Silent Land" into his DNA according to his memory.

In the field of vision, those silver spots of light quickly reassembled, forming the cold and indifferent words of the silent place.

"It seems to be usable now."

Lu Ban muttered to himself.

He skillfully opened the [Essence] interface and put the three materials in.

Then click "Confirm".

Suddenly, the pen in Lu Ban's hand shattered and turned into dust.

These dust particles, like stardust, formed a silver nebula around Lu Ban, swirling around him and gradually condensing in his hand.

Within this, there seems to be supernova explosions, the cooling of molten lava, the birth of civilizations, and the arrival of destruction; everything in the universe is contained within it.

At that moment, Lu Ban suddenly had an inspiration.

He immediately reached out and placed the strange "flute" into this sea of ​​stars.

In an instant, the "flute" melted.

It's like a lump of silt, polluting this clear Milky Way.

Dark pollution spread across the galaxy, dispersing and coalescing on planets. Some of this pollution caused civilizations to mutate and descend into madness, while others fostered chaos and the budding of life. Countless worlds were altered as a result, and the universe began to evolve from its initial desolation towards chaos.

Countless soft murmurs echoed in Lu Ban's ears.

In his eyes, the universe in his palm overlaps with the real world.

He saw that indescribable, great being in the distant void.

The ultimate limit beyond all limits, the greatest of the great, the supreme being above all gods.

In that magnificent palace, music played, songs sang, and dancers swayed gracefully.

Darker than darkness, more profound than nameless mist, more chaotic than lurking chaos.

The ultimate ultimate.

Lu Ban felt his soul begin to tremble until the sea of ​​stars bloomed and condensed into the shape of a book.

As Lu Ban looked at the "Last Words" that had turned into a book, certain knowledge flooded into his mind.

This is the effect and usage instructions after the final extraction of the [Last Words].

Or rather, once the "last words" became like this, they were completely integrated with Lu Ban's soul and became a part of his existence.

Open the illusory book; there are no words on it, only blank pages.

Lu Ban raised his right hand, and in the void, a crystal-clear pen, as if made of animal bones, appeared in his hand.

Holding the pen, Lu Ban thought for a moment and then wrote down the words in the book.

The table was laden with a sumptuous spread of dishes: roast chicken, steak, stewed lamb, rib soup, and much more.

As Lu Ban put pen to paper, he noticed that a ceramic plate had suddenly appeared on the table next to the snacks that Leopard had pulled out from somewhere, with various fragrant foods on it.

Roast chicken, steak, stewed lamb, pork rib soup.

Chapter 948 The Final Essence

Lu Ban looked at the roast chicken in front of him, its aroma filling the air.

The roasted chicken has a crispy, glistening skin that makes your mouth water just by looking at it.

Lu Ban broke off a chicken leg, sniffed it, and it looked just like the real thing.

The meat is juicy, tender, and savory.

Even though it wasn't a real chicken leg, Lu Ban still ate it.

"It looks pretty good."

Leopard also tore off another chicken leg and ate heartily, thoroughly enjoying his meal.

Lu Ban wiped his fingers with a napkin on the table and continued writing with a skeletal pen on the translucent, illusory pages in his hand.

A knock sounded at the door; it was Amber and Sia who had come to visit.

Just as Lu Ban finished writing, he heard a knock on the door.

Leopard looked over, somewhat puzzled.

"Who else is there at this point?"

She skipped and hopped to the door and opened it.

Looking over her shoulder, Lu Ban saw Amber and Xia standing at the door, looking somewhat bewildered.

"here it is?"

Amber was a little confused and looked around warily until she saw Lu Ban, at which point she suddenly felt relieved.
