“Hello, everyone. This is the evening news. The weather has changed recently. Please be careful when you go out.”

“According to the latest news from our reporter, the new textbooks purchased by the Central Primary School in Lane City spontaneously ignited out of thin air. It is suspected that some students have gained the ability to control flames and deliberately burned them down. The situation is still under investigation. Everything will be based on the official announcement.”

“So far, there are at least a thousand people in the world who have gained an extraordinary ability to control fire, water, and so on. Of course, they are far from the Superman that we imagined. If any of our viewers also have this ability, please contact us immediately.”

“We will not harm you. Instead, we will help you, strengthen your ability, and make you stronger than Superman.”

“Every member who joins will be given a cheque of ten million and a villa.”

The Lane City evening news broadcaster was explaining enthusiastically. At the same time, he also gave an example as proof, while a phone number below the television was displayed.

Luochuan watched for a while. After there was no more news, he turned off the television and began to cook dinner.

This situation happened in half a month at the television station. The reason was that the strength of some people in the world had suddenly become very huge. One punch could directly kill an adult bison. Some people could control flames and running water, though they could only be used for burning and bathing. However, research proved that these abilities could be enhanced.

When the matter was exposed, countries all over the world were scrambling to recruit similar talents. The television station would basically broadcast it every day.

A thousand people seemed to be a lot, but it was very little when they were distributed around the world.

Moreover, according to the analysis of some scholars and experts, when such an abnormal situation occurred, an unknown crisis might occur, because it had never happened before. High-precision instruments found that there was mysterious energy contained in the air, and it could not be explained with current technology.

Along with the mysterious energy in the air being affected, human life was also destined to change drastically, and the impact on the natural world was also unpredictable.

After cooking his dinner, Luochuan sat at the dining table to enjoy his meal, but his mind was thinking about what was said on the television.

Those unusual abilities made him very concerned, because he did not have, and could not tell whether others had that ability from their appearance.

Someone could kill an adult bison with one punch.

If he had a conflict with someone one day and was hit by a punch, wouldn’t he die an unjust death?

It would be even worse if he was burned to death by fire.

Moreover, there could still be undisclosed abilities. Who knew what abilities would awaken in those bastards?

Only if he had mastered that power, or had the ability to rival it, could Luochuan feel safe. He didn’t want to entrust his life to luck or the kindness of others.

Luochuan sat at the dining table in a daze, and his thoughts gradually spread out. “This sudden change in the world might have happened before, but there is no record of it. Perhaps there will be some items left behind. The castle left behind by my parents is said to be hundreds of years old. I should try to find it.”

“If there really is such a thing, my life is temporarily safe. If there isn’t, I won’t lose anything.”

Thinking back to the ancient castle he inherited, Luochuan felt a little expectant.

In fact, after he inherited the castle, he had already inspected it once. Other than the valuable land and buildings, there was nothing else. But now that the world had changed, would the castle also change?

Thinking of this, Luochuan couldn’t hold it in any longer. He stopped eating dinner, picked up the key to the castle, and ran out.

The place where he lived was not very far from the castle. He arrived in front of the castle in fifteen minutes.

As it had not been maintained for a long time, there was thick dust in the air when the castle doors opened. Luochuan covered his nose and retreated far away. When the dust settled, he turned on the searchlight and walked in.

Looking at the familiar scenery inside the castle, nothing special appeared. Luochuan looked a little disappointed.

How could such a normal person withstand the ruthless people of the world?

However, when he reached the top floor, a wooden door that he had never seen before appeared in front of him.

That door stood on the ground. The wooden texture was faintly glowing and the surroundings were covered in dust. However, it was clean. Even the horizontal handle of the door did not have any dust on it. Under the illumination of the light, the contrast was very obvious.

Luochuan was not surprised. On the contrary, he was happy. It was different from normal circumstances, which meant that this door had changed after the world had changed.

It was very likely that it had a special function, and it might be a turning point.

Luochuan was excited, but he was not in a hurry to touch it. It was better to be cautious about unknown things.

He turned around and went downstairs to find a two-meter-long wooden stick. He lightly poked it twice across the wall.

Boom! Boom!

The sound echoed clearly in the castle.

There was no support for the door, so it would fall easily if he poked it. However, it did not move at all.

Luochuan rolled his eyes. This time, he put the wooden stick on the door handle and pressed it down hard. He wanted to open the door to see what was behind it. It was not going to be a door that would not fall, right?

The door handle was pressed down, and it was about to be pushed in, but it couldn’t be pushed anymore. There was strong resistance.

Luochuan was a little annoyed. “Why do I feel like there’s a wall behind the door?”

After a few tests, he noticed there wasn’t any danger. Luochuan grew bolder and went to the wooden door. After taking a closer look, he realized that the tests weren’t useless. There was a piece of paper on the ground that was the same color as the wooden door.

Previously, he was far away, and the color was the same, so he did not notice it.

“Endless world… harvest faith… become a god, pay attention to the primordial world… Danger…”

Luochuan lowered his head and read out the contents of the paper. He frowned slightly. He could understand the first part. It should mean going to the endless world to harvest faith, and then becoming a god through some method.

He did not understand the last part about paying attention to the primordial world. Who knew where the primordial world referred to? It was difficult to understand. The information obtained was too little, and he could only rely on guesses.

As for how to do it, he was also confused.

Luochuan reached out his hand and was about to pick up the paper. Before he touched it, it turned into powder and was absorbed by the door.

“F*ck,” Luochuan cursed. He had planned to go home and study it properly.

He couldn’t get the paper, but at least he knew some mysterious information. Although he didn’t know whether it would be useful or not, he was still making a profit.

“I’ve been working for so long, but I didn’t run into any danger. Let’s open the door and take a look.”

After resting for ten minutes, Luochuan couldn’t help but look at the door handle.

After some hesitation, he finally held the door handle and tried to open the door. This thing was in his castle, so he had to figure out its function and not let it go to waste.

He thought it would be difficult to open the door, but he couldn’t open it with the wooden stick. He pushed the door open with his hand.

Indeed, behind the door was not a castle, but land that stretched as far as the eye could see.

“Endless world, harvest faith.”

Looking inside, Luochuan suddenly recalled the words he had seen just now. The scene before him was very suitable for that description.

However, he was not in a hurry to enter. Instead, he left the room.

There was no protection at the moment. It was not a good choice to enter the unknown world rashly. He would make some preparations tonight and come back tomorrow.
