Chapter 280: The Final Conspiracy of the Enemy Demon, the Comprehension of Death!
"Heh, an enemy like the Vengeful Demon is actually quite straightforward."
"You just need to expect the worst in everything related to it."
"The Vengeful Demon claims it hasn't altered these memories, so it definitely has. These rituals and knowledge are not trustworthy."
"But such minor tricks won't trouble me; Vengeful Demon, you can rest assured and depart."
Su Yu sneered at the petty tricks left by the Vengeful Demon and paid them little mind.
First of all, unlocking the Foundation Professions from the Profession Panel reveals that most of the knowledge from the Vengeful Demon's memories is likely accurate.
Otherwise, the Profession Panel wouldn't respond.
If it were all fabricated, how could new professions be unlocked?
It seems the Vengeful Demon understands that a clever lie must be ten truths and one falsehood to fool people.
So it only altered key parts of the knowledge, making it a mix of truths and falsehoods.
This makes it difficult for Su Yu to discern.
Even after death, it still manages to disgust Su Yu once more.
But for Su Yu, since most of the knowledge is real, it's enough for him to reference and study.
After all, he doesn't plan to actually take up those professions.
Even with the Time Drifter, a Fourth Rank profession, Su Yu doesn't plan to pursue it.
After all, the rituals and Meditation Technique of this profession must contain major pitfalls left by the Vengeful Demon.
Carelessly taking it up could very well lead to his own demise.
Moreover, the Time Drifter's rituals are exceedingly evil, requiring harm to others, something Su Yu would never desire.
What Su Yu truly wants is to use this Extraordinary Knowledge to create his own Fourth Rank profession, thereby mastering his own Power of Time!
With Identification from the Profession Panel, Su Yu need not worry that the profession he creates might have hidden dangers due to referencing the Vengeful Demon's knowledge.
Besides, Su Yu also has the ability of foreseeing the future, and if he pushes himself, he could even see the timelines.
Before conducting crucial experiments, he can check in advance if there are any issues.
With this, the Vengeful Demon definitely won't be able to trap him.
"It seems before the Vengeful Demon died, it really had no means, so it resorted to this trivial tactic to disgust me, how boring."
At this moment, Su Yu was not angry but found it rather amusing.
With the wisdom of the Vengeful Demon, it should also understand that such minor tactics cannot trap Su Yu and can only disgust him a little.
But that's what dying struggles are.
Even while dying, it wants to take a bite out of Su Yu, knowing full well it cannot get to him.
Su Yu shook his head slightly, ignoring this shadow.
However, at this moment, the shadow left by the Vengeful Demon spoke again, automatically playing internal Information it held:
"Su Yu, you need not doubt! I mean no harm; now our positions are the same."
"I was born only for revenge, but revenge might not necessarily require me to do it myself."
"Now I am dead, without the ability for revenge."
"But you have inherited my knowledge, so I hope you can use the knowledge I've left and continuously grow stronger to finally avenge me! Break those celestial locks! Destroy all those cold Mechanical Creations!"
"What do you think, Su Yu! You hate those lofty machines in the sky too, right? Then make good use of the knowledge I've left..."
The shadow of the Vengeful Demon spoke amicably and eloquently.
When it spoke, it was as if it possessed real consciousness.
However, Su Yu was certain the shadow was merely ordinary Information, like a pre-recorded video, incapable of actual thinking.
"Dead is dead; what's the point of doing these things? Really trying to deceive me?"
"However... the Vengeful Demon possessed too many Extraordinary Abilities; could it not be completely dead? Still leaving a trump for resurrection?"
"Unlikely, but being cautious is never wrong."
Su Yu listened impatiently and, with a thought, prepared to delete this shadow.
The Vengeful Demon's memories had already been fully deciphered by Su Yu and could naturally be deleted at will.
Instantly, the still chattering shadow of the Vengeful Demon vanished from Su Yu's sight.
Simultaneously, Su Yu also deleted those memories he had previously read.
At this moment, Su Yu seemed to be reading a book, tearing a page after reading a page.
Once he finished reading and absorbed all the knowledge, the book was destroyed by him.
Su Yu intended to thoroughly remove the traces left by the Vengeful Demon, eliminating any final hidden troubles.
Being cautious is never wrong.
However, just as Su Yu deleted all the memories, in an unknown mysterious place, in another timeline, a twisted shadow was laughing maniacally...
"Hahaha! Su Yu! Thank you for your accomplishment!"
"I have finally succeeded! At last, I can grasp this supreme power! Time! Fate!"
"Thanks to Su Yu, without your help, how could I ever see such a..."
"Rest assured, I will definitely repay you well..."
It was the Vengeful Demon!
It turns out it wasn't truly dead!
Even for Su Yu, altering the timeline failed to completely kill it!
Additionally, it seemed that Su Yu's action of deleting memories played right into its hands!
As Su Yu deleted the memories inside his false body, the illusionary shadow of the Vengeful Demon in this mysterious place slowly solidified.
It seemed to be transforming from a state of Nihility to reality, resurrecting back.
Moreover, it appeared that post-resurrection, it would complete the ritual, achieving Time Drifter! Truly transcending nine-star existence!
At that time, with it in the shadows and Su Yu in the open, it would be extremely dangerous.
...
Su Yu awoke with a start.
He looked at the shadow of the Vengeful Demon again, deep in thought.
In reality, he had not truly deleted the memories left by the Vengeful Demon.
