The explanation from the black cloak left Lu Ming both astonished and skeptical.

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu couldn't help but ask, "How do you know about future events? Can you predict the future?"

  "I cannot predict the future," the black cloak turned around to face Lu Ming and Dragon Soul Guan Yu, saying, "But I come from the future."

  With these words, the two were once again taken aback.

  "I know you might not believe me."

  The black cloak spoke in a deep voice, "Two and a half years from now, the Blood Moon will descend, and the ghosts will fully awaken. In front of them, humans will have no power to resist. Only the gods can match them!"

  "But the number of gods we humans have awakened is too few, and their power is too weak. As a result, within just six months of the ghosts' awakening, the mere hundred gods were all wiped out, and the entire world fell under the control of the ghosts."

  "And I am from three years later, the only human survivor in the world."

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu snorted lightly.

  Clearly somewhat disdainful, he said, "So according to you, three years from now is the end of the world?"

  "Sky Abyss has been around for over a hundred years, and nothing has happened. Now you're telling me humanity will perish in three years? Doesn't that sound absurd?"

  Lu Ming did not question like Dragon Soul Guan Yu.

  After all, he had experienced even more absurd things like reincarnation.

  His ability to accept things was far stronger than the average person.

  Lu Ming only asked, "Then how did you come back from three years in the future to now?"

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu snorted coldly on the side, thinking, "One dares to say, the other dares to believe, damn, two lunatics!"

  The black cloak did not immediately answer Lu Ming's question but instead said, "Didn't you ask me earlier who I am?"

  Looking at Lu Ming, the black cloak lowered his voice and said, "I am a second-sequence god, codename 017: the Agent of the God of Time, Chronos!"

  "Is there really a god in this world?"

  Lu Ming was not overly surprised; instead, he was somewhat excited.

  Because he had long suspected:

  The Scroll of Deification that granted him a ten-star account was a gift from the 'God of Luck';

  And the account ban Ye Ling'er was facing, Wrath of the Gods, was also because she angered a god!

  Moreover, in recent years, players from around the world have frequently reported discovering traces of gods in the Sky Abyss world.

  Although no one has ever encountered a real god, many players believe that gods indeed exist in the Sky Abyss world!

  And an Agent of the Gods, as the name suggests, is a human with the power of a god!

  The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

  After a pause, the black cloak continued:

  "My divine ability is to control time."

  "In the last battle between gods and ghosts, when humanity was on the brink of extinction, I exhausted all my divine power to reverse time and returned to the present."

  Wait!

  Lu Ming suddenly realized a problem!

  If what the black cloak said is true, and he is the only survivor three years later, doesn't that mean...

  Even Lu Ming, with his three ten-star talents, couldn't withstand the ghosts the black cloak mentioned and was wiped out?!

  As Lu Ming pondered this terrifying thought.

  The black cloak looked up at the round moon in the sky, which was being corroded by red mist, and said, "There are still two and a half years until the Blood Moon descends. Before then, all the ghosts lurking in the Sky Abyss world are still in a semi-sealed state, their power not fully restored, and they can only briefly appear on the night of a full moon."

  "Just like that Blade Ghost earlier," the black cloak said, looking at the Blade Ghost's corpse not far away, "It is just the lowest tier of ghost beasts, and it was sealed with about sixty percent of its power."

  Hearing this.

  Recalling the scene where over twenty Death Lords had to be sacrificed to barely kill the Blade Ghost.

  Lu Ming couldn't help but frown slightly.

  "Even with only forty percent of its power, it's this strong..."

  After a pause, Lu Ming mused, "So your purpose in coming back now is to eliminate them before the ghosts fully recover and awaken, to rewrite the future where humanity perishes?"

  "Yes, but not entirely," the black cloak said, "I came back mainly to find you."

  "Find me?" Lu Ming was puzzled, "Why?"

  The black cloak looked at Lu Ming and said something that shocked Dragon Soul Guan Yu, who was listening nearby: "Because you are the Agent of the God of Luck, Fortuna!"

  "The first Agent of the Gods born in the human world!"

  "The strongest in the Great Xia server!"

  "The only first-sequence Agent of the Gods in the world!"

  "God codename 008, Nether!"

  As pride flickered in Lu Ming's eyes.

  The black cloak continued:

  "According to historical records, you will die on June 15, 2037, cause of death unknown."

  Damn...

  It's November 22, 2034, which means the corresponding death time is... two and a half years later?

  Isn't that when the ghosts just break through their seals and awaken?

  At this moment, Dragon Soul Guan Yu, who had been listening silently, couldn't help but interject, "The ghosts just awaken, and he dies?"

  "The value of being the strongest in the server is really overrated."

  Lu Ming couldn't be bothered to respond to Dragon Soul Guan Yu, whose mouth was the hardest part of him.

  What he was thinking was:

  "What does 'cause of death unknown' mean?"

  "Could it be that I didn't die at the hands of the ghosts?"

  Just as Lu Ming was puzzled.

  The black cloak continued, "The ghosts are not the most terrifying."

  "More terrifying than ghosts are humans!"

  "Even before their awakening, the ghosts have been using various means to win over human hearts, making humans work for them. They have always been lurking in the shadows, gathering strength right under our noses, waiting to strike."

  "After they fully awaken, their power is not that strong. It is precisely because of the assistance of human forces that have defected to them that they can wipe out all of humanity in just half a year."

  "According to records, within our Great Xia alone, there are three squads that have defected to the ghosts."

  "Traitors!" Dragon Soul Guan Yu, who had been skeptical a second ago, immediately put himself in the story, his eyes wide with anger, "I admit I'm no saint, but I would never betray humanity!"

  At the same time, Lu Ming finally understood.

  "So, when you said you wanted to cooperate with me earlier, you meant you wanted me to work with you to eliminate all ghosts and human traitors who have defected to the ghosts before they awaken?"

  "Yes," the black cloak said bluntly, "This is the only way to save humanity."

  At this point, the black cloak suddenly looked at Dragon Soul Guan Yu and said, "You can go now; there's nothing else here for the time being."

  "Try to lift the account ban as soon as possible; this world needs you too."

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu was eager to leave, afraid that another Blade Ghost might emerge from the abyss.

  He was also afraid Lu Ming might attack him.

  He quickly left the area.

  After deliberately sending Dragon Soul Guan Yu away.

  The black cloak once again extended an invitation to Lu Ming: "Only by working together can we save this world!"

  Lu Ming hesitated for a moment and then asked a question, "You just said that in the future, there are three squads in Great Xia that betray humanity and defect to the ghosts. Which three squads?"

  "The human minions who defected to the ghosts are deeply hidden. Based on the information we have, we can only confirm one of them, the Godslayer Squad."

  The black cloak said, "We even suspected for a long time that your death was related to the Godslayer Squad because there was a long period when you didn't get along with them, so we suspected they used the ghosts to get rid of you."

  Godslayer!

  Hearing these two words, the first thing that came to Lu Ming's mind was Qin Feng and Ye Ling'er, and a strong killing intent surged in his heart!

  Honestly, he wasn't surprised by this outcome.

  After all, Qin Feng had previously colluded with Ye Ling'er to betray Lu Ming to seize the Scroll of Deification; later, he would stop at nothing for family interests!

  Such a person, what wouldn't they do for profit?

  What Lu Ming couldn't accept was that in his previous life, he died at the hands of this bitch couple.

  In this life, would he still end up being killed by them?

  "How is that possible! I have three ten-star talents! How could you possibly kill me again!"

  "I will never let that happen!"

  "Qin Feng, Ye Ling'er, you bitch couple, I will make sure you die without a grave!"

  Seeing the overwhelming hatred in Lu Ming's eyes.

  The black cloak, unaware of the truth, mistakenly thought it was because of Dragon Soul Guan Yu.

  So he said to Lu Ming:

  "He is the chosen agent of the God of Vengeance, Horus."

  "Of course, you can still kill him if you have that thought; this time, I won't stop you."

  Of course, what the black cloak said was also within Lu Ming's consideration.

  "If I kill him, what will happen?"

  Following Lu Ming's gaze, looking at the receding Dragon Soul Guan Yu.

  The black cloak said, "Then you will become the first god-slayer in human history."
