Chapter 1243: Chapter 1243

1243: Chapter 1229: Stars 1243: Chapter 1229: Stars The foreign planet had entered night, and a chilly breeze swept across.

Leaning against the scorched earth, Lu Ping’an watched a nearby bonfire and listened to the noisy celebrations.

The dim stars overhead reminded him of his homeland.

“It seems, viewing the cosmos from the ground, that world is much the same…..”

Lu Ping’an didn’t know astrology, nor could he distinguish constellations from galaxies.

Looking at the moon and stars above, he felt inexplicably tired.

The killing had ended, or rather, the one-sided slaughter was over.

Although Lu remained a fifth-tier professional, his strength really matched that of an actual Rule-level.

Once he seriously started, this small squad of invaders from the Foreign Domain stood no chance against him.

However, it was clear that his use of abilities had failed again, and his “mood” hadn’t changed because of it.

Sometimes, seeing too far, thinking too far, may not necessarily be a good thing….

Lu Ping’an had already seen what was happening in this world, but he sensed that likely nothing would change.

All he could do seemed to be changing himself…

Judging by the actual combat results, the “Left-behind Student” had performed far better than expected.

The Word Spirit abilities weren’t absent in a professional’s world.

On the contrary, even at the low-level Curse (Black Iron Stage), there were many, but Lu Ping’an’s practical combat effectiveness was outstandingly good.

“It releases quickly, without restrictions.

Even if it fails, there is no backlash, and most importantly…

as long as it is used properly, the success rate is extremely high.”

Big Cat also rated this ability very highly, especially its essence…..

It was actually also a kind of “naming”, the feedback of the ability from the “Wisdom” fragments that Lu Ping’an had consumed, with extremely high special effects on “Life”, also because of the courtyard Lu Ping’an possessed.

High-tier professional abilities, the more “composite” they are, the stronger they are, because the more robust the base, the higher it can be stacked, and the more low-tier support the high-tier ability modules can get, the stronger they naturally become.

Lu Ping’an’s ability, with multiple endorsements…

had actually crossed the “rules” line.

Perhaps it would still suffer when colliding with a true Rule-level, but it had manifested many of the Rule-level’s “unreasonably strong” traits.

Until now, Lu Ping’an had also possessed his first powerful fifth-tier “Battle-profession,” even though Scholars were seen as the profession farthest from combat by most professionals.

Reflecting on this, Lu Ping’an released a spark.

It first appeared as a normal flame, then transformed into a floating boat, then into a happy little angel, flying around before morphing into a paper crane….

Eventually, it turned into a Kongming lantern drifting in the wind.

One by one, the Kongming lanterns floated up with the wind, forming a floating array in the sky, making Lu Ping’an smile unconsciously.

In his will, the flame was distorted, molded, bound, released, transformed, endowed, and stripped…

Another snap, and the Kongming lanterns scattered across the night sky simultaneously shone, turning the night into day at that moment.

And below, the joyful crowd became even more delighted, yet they had no idea what Lu Ping’an had done…..

This was not some simple magic, nor merely fireworks meant to entertain mortals.

“Elemental Tamer, let me summon the flames…”

With hands spread open, more flames emerged from within.

“Life’s Forger, hammered soulless Elements into blossoming fire sprites…..”

Accompanied by a hammering sound in the void, a greedy invisible Craftsman hammered the Elements into life.

“Breath of all things, Resonant souls, linking us as one…”

The “Life” that fought with flesh, turned Elements into a part of themselves.

“Life’s (Sin Bone) Painter, pieced together our Reincarnation…”

The Life Tamer, controlling his own “flesh”, also released the beautiful lantern scene.

“And the Scholar, who only talks, can only applaud from the side, yet makes all these miracles come true….”

The players of miracles and fate’s rules turned many concepts into reality, allowing someone’s imagination to become true.

The youth stood there, letting one firelight after another rise from the palm of his hand.

As an Elemental Tamer, Craftsman, Fighter, Tamer, and Scholar…

and with the supporting role of “Life (Gardener),” Lu Ping’an could now directly rewrite “reality” when displaying his power and will.

The sky was filled with sky lanterns forming a wandering river of lights, where the lantern boats of the past reappeared in the heavens.

“This, is this a deity…”

The casual word of a clueless fisherman made Lu Ping’an tense up suddenly.

Clearly, he was not a deity, nor could he compare to one…

but perhaps the seemingly effortless powers and miracles of a deity were also the results of this layered combination of Abilities.

Once their “Keystones” had accumulated enough, perhaps with just will and words, they could directly rewrite reality.

In the eyes of a high-tier professional, the world was no longer so “real,” for their own “reality” could already be modified within the bounds of their authority.

Another snap of the fingers turned everything into fireworks.

The fireworks bloomed in the sky, dispersing the cold darkness and allowing mortals to forget the mundanity of daily life.

Watching the scene reminiscent of a child’s excitement during the Spring Festival, Lu Ping’an smiled too, for a moment, he smiled like a child.

Lu Ping’an did not stay long in the fishing village, even though the fishermen repeatedly entreated him to stay.

Everyone has their own life, the fishermen have theirs, and Lu Ping’an has his…

“Is this the last one?”

“Yes, at least within the originally surveyed area, there are no rifts left.”

Looking at the slightly trembling spatial rift in front of him, Lu Ping’an nodded.

He had asked the fishermen and confirmed that the surrounding area was still relatively safe, and then roughly guessed what had happened.

Then using the Eye of Truth, he found several open Spatial Rifts.

The good news was the rifts were small, unstable, and Lu Ping’an lacked the professionals capable of “stitching” space together, otherwise, he would only have to watch.

The bad news was that there were four rifts, three small and one large, and quite a few had already come through…

“Alright, they’re all cleaned up, just guarding for a while should do it.”

This level of unstable spatial rift, if the world here remained stable, would be constantly amended by the world itself.

The other side, in contrast, would need significant power to maintain.

Lu Ping’an had killed several waves, and that was about it.

“It’s a bit troublesome….”

Lu Ping’an didn’t think it was a coincidence that he had just happened to come across an open different-dimension crack, and the fishermen had just come across rare exotic realm invaders.

The whole world was probably full of holes by now, with countless exotic “paratroopers” being deployed into it.

This was an increasing pressure for the big cities, and for places like small fishing villages, ordinary gatherings of mortals…

At that moment, Lu Ping’an felt somewhat helpless.

Mortals, ordinary people, were always the most helpless victims in war.

Some things are unavoidable, and since one is born into this world, one must face it.

“Perhaps, I can do something, perhaps, I should do something…”
