Chapter 379 I'm Not Cruel
The White Tower in the Empty Valley is a key area in the Moon Sea, so it seems only natural that a rare Level 8 Scholar would appear here.

Level 8 job changer...

Even in a whole sea area, you might not see two.

If you happen to see more than two level 8 job changers, it means that something big is about to happen here, something that could shake the world.

Once, An Zheng fought desperately to reach level 9.

One instance was during Loti's simulation of the Lunar Contest.

Only on these two occasions did Lu Cang encounter multiple Level 8 job changers.

……

But if we're talking about the typical level 8 job changers in the real world, who aren't seen in any simulations or trials...

Besides An Zheng, there's only this one in front of me.

"Date of death: 65"

His life was already as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind.

The lifespan of an 8th-level scholar is only 500 years.

He doesn't have much time left. If I watch over him a little longer, he'll die on his own...

There would be no need for a fight, and there wouldn't even be any evidence to prove that his death was related to him.

Lu Cang simply stopped.

Then, gaze.

Like a stone sculpture, he stood motionless, gazing into the distance for a long time.

at last……

The being in the room held a delicate dagger in his hand, his eyes filled with loss and despair.

You can tell just from their eyes.

He had lost all will to live; at this moment, his mind was filled only with thoughts of suicide.

puff--

Blood stained the scholar's white robes.

This exquisite yet sharp dagger was simply plunged into his own abdomen.

suicide……

His time to die has come.

His life ended there.

The level 8 scholar, without any struggle or conflict, simply chose to end his own life.

"What a pity."

Three minutes passed after he took his own life.

Lu Cangcai arrived back at his residence.

Only upon closer inspection did I see the body of this level 8 scholar.

"Boy."

"You've really become quite ruthless."

Lu Cang calmly replied in his mind, "What are you talking about, An Su?"

“His death had nothing to do with me; it just so happened that he committed suicide in front of me, and I saw it.”

An Su chuckled coldly: "You know best how he died."

Even if you can fool me, you can't fool yourself.

Lu Cang didn't take An Su's words to heart at all, and instead picked up the storage bag from his body.

That's quite a good haul.

Taking down a level 8 job changer was as easy as killing an insignificant stray dog ​​on the roadside...

However, it was indeed a bit too easy for him to die.

Logically speaking, a level 8 job changer should possess extremely keen intuition, and he should have noticed that I am shortening his lifespan.

However, he did not react at all until his death.

In the end, it was a mundane suicide.

He accepted his fate of dying with equanimity.

Level 8 Doctoral Scholar.

As Lu Cang touched the corpse, a gleaming stone appeared in his hand.

"Enchantment Stone - Tower of Truth" "Enchantment effect: Grants the wearer a sea of ​​consciousness structure that allows them to see through the deepest truths."

This is the enchanted stone formed from the corpse of an 8th-level job changer...

However, this wasn't the first time they had received it during the rehearsal.

This wasn't actually the first time Lu Cang had killed him.

Having rehearsed the arrival at the Empty Valley many times, he knew that this scholar named "Inda" had died at his hands every time he had found her.

"Kill the innocent, trample on lives weaker than yours."

"Ha ha……"

An Su's words echoed in Lu Cang's mind.

Lu Cang felt a little annoyed.

What are the weaknesses of a level 8 rating?
Moreover, he didn't have many years left to live, and besides, this artifact is indeed of utmost importance to me.

"He committed suicide out of despair because he saw a fact he was unwilling to accept."

"And I am the one who can change that fact."

"He gave his own life so that I could help him change his terrible future."

"That's not excessive, is it?"

Ansu just chuckled coldly: "As long as you convince yourself, I certainly have no objection, but you'd better realize your own cruelty sooner rather than later."

Swah——

In Lu Cang's hand, the record that the scholar had just been reading also appeared.

This is an observation report.

The entrance to the abyss is losing its long-standing balance, and once the balance is completely lost, the empty valley will gradually begin to fall into the abyss.

The entire island fell together...

Then, the ocean will also fall into the abyss, and the entire lunar sea will be transformed into the abyss as a result.

This is the report he saw.

Decades from now, the lunar maria may become a bottomless abyss, and all life that failed to escape will also face the fate of falling.

They fell into the abyss and could never escape.

They will only fall deeper into the bottomless abyss, each day sinking lower than the last.

but.

I happen to be here to save the world. If I complete the ritual in the deep, this entrance will transform from a path to the abyss into a path to the deep.

The Moon Sea naturally no longer suffers the torment of turning into an abyss.

I helped him solve the problem, so charging a little interest isn't unreasonable.

Is it too much to call me cruel?
Lu Cang felt no remorse whatsoever; instead, he picked up the magical artifact on his desk, the "Book of Answers."

An artifact from Yogg.

This scholar was also an admirer of Yug.

He has made profound research on the Abyss and outstanding contributions to Abyss scholarship, for which he has been commended by Yog.

The Book of Answers is a branch of the legendary Book of Omniscience.

The Omniscient Answer is a book possessed by Yog, containing all known knowledge in the world, and Yog knows all its contents.

While "The Book of Answers" does not provide all the known information, it shows how to find the answers to questions simply by writing them down in the book.

In this world, just knowing how to find the answer already saves a lot of effort.

They took the "Book of Answers" and his storage bag.

Swah——

Behind Lu Cang, the figure of an old man with empty eyes and a slight beard reappeared.

Why did you have to kill him?
It's not just about the divine artifact.

After killing him, I can obtain a true level 8 necromancer.

If I were cruel, I would simply kill everyone in the entire city and turn them all into my undead...

Lu Cang did not take the body away because he was a peaceful and kind person. At least he wanted to give him a complete body so that the White Tower would know of his death. This would also prove that he was a human being with a conscience.

Lu Cang left the White Pagoda.

There was now an old man with empty eyes beside him.
