Under the bright sunshine, an Ox Cart was slowly making its way along the dirt road.
Xiar sat atop a cage filled with goods, casually reaching out to grasp the leaves that brushed past him overhead, taking a moment to observe them as a way to pass the time.
The leaves in his hand were a vibrant green, exuding a captivating freshness.
Looking around, he saw that the roadside was lined with tall trees, their branches lush and full of life, intertwined with various climbing plants. The ground was covered with low bushes and various types of moss-like vegetation.
The forest radiated a vigorous vitality, even more robust than the primitive forests on Earth. It felt as if one could hear the plants growing and the flowers blooming, filling the air with an endless breath of life that beckoned to be embraced.
“Were these trees always this lush?” Xiar asked.
“Always?” The middle-aged man driving the Ox Cart paused for a moment at the question, then replied cheerfully, “They weren’t this good before. They used to be sparse, many of them dead. Just in the past few months, I don’t know what happened, but they’ve all gone wild.”
“We used to be able to go into the forest and catch some rabbits or other game for a change of taste; eating fish can get boring. But now we can’t even get in there. The prey has become too clever; it’s hard to catch anything…”
Xiar fell silent, his eyes shimmering with a mix of vigilance and deep anticipation—
This world was about to change completely!
The opening of the Source Gate had not only unleashed a wave of Radiation Monsters but had also provided these plants with a grand baptism, allowing them to flourish brilliantly and compose an ode to life.
In the future, countless species would compete freely under the frost of evolution, as innumerable creatures mutated under the cleansing power of Source Power, together constructing a bizarre and extraordinary world…
After two hours, the Ox Cart finally arrived at its destination—Saint Ni City.
This is a typical coastal city of the Lorensath Empire, infused with the wild spirit characteristic of nomadic civilizations.
Originally, the Lorensath Empire was merely a nomadic tribe on the Eastern Continent. However, under the conquest of the Harrison Empire, they were forced to settle down and integrate into Harrison Empire civilization.
Later, as the once-dominant Harrison Empire fell apart, the ancestors of the Lorenzas Royal Family seized the opportunity to rise, gradually occupying one-third of the Eastern Continent and establishing a vast empire.
As the Ox Cart entered through the city gates and passed through the black stone walls, a sprawling expanse of ancient stone fortress-like buildings came into view.
This starkly contrasted with Storm Harbor; most of the buildings in Saint Ni City were constructed directly from stone blocks, retaining their rough and uneven surfaces, giving them a particularly rugged appearance.
The Ox Cart stopped at an intersection. A middle-aged man rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Doctor, I still have to hurry to sell my goods, so I'll leave you here. If you get lost again..."
"Yes, you go ahead. I can manage on my own," Xiar replied briskly, waving goodbye as he turned to walk along the main road.
He heard the creaking sound of the cart moving away behind him, gradually fading into the distance.
Xiar walked indifferently down the street. His extraordinary physique granted him enhanced vision and hearing, allowing him to effortlessly pick up sounds from far away.
As he walked, he was subtly gathering information.
The sounds of bargaining from vendors, boastful chatter in taverns, sweet nothings exchanged by couples on dates, and strange moans from rooms—all these voices converged in his ears, providing him with an abundance of information.
Knowledge is power; information determines the future.
Xiar had increasingly enjoyed this strange sensation as he journeyed along, not only experiencing a significant evolution in his strength but also discovering that his perception and thinking were undergoing a comprehensive evolution, leaping toward a non-human direction.
More accurately, it seemed to be an evolution toward a divine state.
His powerful senses captured information that ordinary people could not detect, while his abnormal mental strength perfectly processed and integrated it, extracting useful information for himself.
For example, by observing a person's clothing and demeanor, Xiar could easily deduce their identity and even determine their living environment based on their scent.
"Evolution..."
Xiar remained silent, thoughts flashing through his mind. Under the influence of the mental strength equivalent to dozens or even hundreds of people, these thoughts rapidly transformed into various deductions.
"I wonder, if the information is sufficient, can I calculate the future?"
The rules of the world are predetermined: the rotation of planets, rivers flowing into the sea, the changing of seasons—these are the most basic rules.
The future has countless branches, yet many people's futures can be clearly seen, like distinct points woven together into a vast web that envelops everyone within it.
Your background determines whom you will encounter and what knowledge you will learn, gradually narrowing down the possibilities for your future.
Thus, possessing enough information allows one to deduce and calculate everything.
It was no wonder he began contemplating these matters; with the destruction of the two Child of Destiny, the Evolution Modulator's Story Database had also suffered a devastating blow. All storylines related to the two Child of Destiny had vanished, and even other Story Data had lost much of its content.
Now he could only see the plot related to the other five Children of Destiny, and it had become much more vague than before.
When you see the future, it has already changed—this change had greatly diminished his foresight.
However, before that, he still needed to quickly reclaim what was his, at any cost!
He originally had eight Memory Stones, along with hundreds of Source Crystals and one Colorful Sphere of Life.
Among them, Loli had given him two Memory Stones, and the villagers from the fishing village returned two as well, leaving him four short.
According to those Fishermen involved in the Transaction, it was said that the Transaction was made with a large-bellied merchant who intended to offer it as a gift to the lord's daughter for her coming-of-age celebration.
Lorensath was different from Atlan; here, a merchant's status was far inferior to that of a noble. Nobles could easily find any excuse to bleed a merchant dry.
Therefore, to thrive here, one must attach themselves to a noble. In Saint Ni City, what could be a bigger leg to lean on than the lord?
After a while, on a street not far from the lord's mansion, Xiar stood in front of a stall, holding a fruit that resembled an apple.
Under the guidance of his mental power, the fierce-looking stall owner instantly regarded him as a close acquaintance and began to speak without hesitation:
"Sir, you’ve come to the right person. My uncle works at the lord's mansion. It is said that during the big sister's coming-of-age ceremony, all the noble lords in the city and those Merchants will be there..."
