Chapter 233: Advancement

Dorian Gray Abraham, a member of the Abraham Family's branch in the Loen Kingdom.

Roughly from the start of that Glorious Revolution of the empire, the power and status of the Abraham Family in the Solomon Empire had already reached their peak.

Therefore, under the arrangements of the contemporary family head, some clansmen gradually migrated to countries such as Loen and Feysac.

Under the guidance of Fate, Dorian came to Loen.

Today, his youngest student sent him a letter.

"Fors is writing to me?" Dorian was somewhat surprised when he received the letter.

The meeting between teacher and student was like the guidance of Fate; Dorian felt a sense of closeness when he saw Fors, who was just a young girl at the time, and took her on as a student.

But who would have thought this student was too lazy; after becoming an "Apprentice," she never asked any questions about mysticism again.

"Chanted the honorific name of a Hidden existence, possibly marked and watched by a Hidden existence?" He opened the letter, browsed through it, and his expression became somewhat grave.

He realized the severity of the matter and quickly took out paper and pen, writing down effective methods of response.

"Chanting the honorific name of a Hidden existence does not necessarily mean one will be watched by a Hidden existence..."

"The best method of response is to seek out the Dream Sect and change your faith; in most cases, becoming a Dream believer can avoid the threat of most Hidden existences, except for the 'Primordial Witch'..."

"Perhaps you can also chant the following honorific name in times of crisis: The Great Gate of All Doors, the Guide of the Endless Starry Sky, the Key to All Mystical Worlds..."

"Hidden existence?" Suddenly, Dorian seemed to think of something; he picked up another letter on his desk and stared at the information on it in silence.

"... Orders issued personally by the ancestors: search for various strange events that have recently appeared worldwide; keywords: 'Fool', 'Error', 'Grey Fog'..."

With the powerful support of Madam Daly, the Nighthawks of Tingen quickly captured a Beyonder from the "Secret Order" and obtained sufficient information from him.

This had a great deal to do with the clues provided by Klein, so he easily obtained an opportunity for "official status" and "choice."

"Have you thought about which Pathway to choose?" Chumen looked at Klein.

"Shouldn't it be Old Neil?" Klein looked at Chumen in astonishment.

"Oh, Old Neil is on leave today; you know, his wife's health isn't very good, and I even prepared a potion for his wife."

"It just so happens that I'm quite free, so I'll come to prepare the Potion for you."

Klein opened his mouth; he envied such a life...

He nodded gently and then told Chumen his choice, "I choose 'Diviner'."

"A very good choice." Chumen nodded gently.

Chumen fetched the Potion needed for "Diviner."

The preparation of the Potion was very simple, but in order to let Klein learn the process, Chumen slowed down his movements significantly.

Soon, Chumen had finished preparing the "Diviner" Potion and placed it in front of Klein.

The deep blue Potion sloshed in the transparent bottle, shimmering with an extremely strange color.

"Have you decided? Drink this bottle of Potion, and there will be no turning back." Chumen asked suddenly.

"..." Klein keenly sensed that there seemed to be something hidden in Chumen's words.

But he could not yet understand the deeper meaning of these words; he simply took this opportunity to sort out his thoughts and finally nodded gently, "Yes, I want to become a Beyonder."

Whether it is to return home or to better protect myself and my family in this world... Klein muttered to himself.

"Good." Chumen made a gesture of invitation.

Klein did not delay any further and drank the Potion directly; the smooth Potion slid down his esophagus and into his stomach.

In an instant, a certain power caused Klein's body to convulse, his vision became blurry, and the entire world seemed to turn into an oil painting with rich colors.

Various colors intertwined, filling his field of vision as if to swallow him whole.

The next moment, his thoughts drifted, ascending to the Spirit World, where he saw the bright, multicolored brilliance flickering in the Spirit World and the grey, illusory fog.

"Calm your heart, meditate." Chumen's voice entered Klein's mind.

Klein subconsciously did as Chumen said, centering his spirit.

"Use your spirit to outline something that does not exist in this world, and use it as a benchmark to condense your spirit..."

Klein was advancing, but Chumen's eyes were always fixed on that wisp of hidden Grey Fog connecting to Klein.

After becoming a "Diviner," Klein seemed to have fulfilled the final condition; "Sefirah Castle" had completely finished binding with Klein.

Not long after, Klein woke up from his meditation.

"Congratulations, you are now a 'Diviner'."

"Perhaps this isn't a good thing; I seem to have heard some whispers..." Klein's expression was not very good.

Chumen raised an eyebrow and could only say, "This is a normal phenomenon, and also the source of so-called loss of control."

"You need to adapt."

It is unknown how much time passed before Klein finally adjusted his state.

"Is this the perception of a Beyonder? Is it Spirit Vision?" Klein quickly mastered this skill and then glanced at Chumen.

Plain and simple, without any changes; it seemed no different from what the naked eye could see.

"You..." This was very different from the knowledge Klein currently understood.

"You cannot see my emotions." Chumen said, "Powerful Beyonders are able to hide themselves."

Klein suddenly realized; he knew that Chumen must be a Beyonder even more powerful than Madam Daly.

"These are some basic Beyonder knowledge; you can take it and read it yourself." Chumen handed Klein a book.

"Now I have something more important to tell you." Chumen's expression became a little more serious.

"Have you heard of the 'Dream Path'?"

Klein almost suspected that it was just because his spirit was still unstable after the advancement, causing some auditory hallucinations.

I've already advanced, and you're only telling me now?

Before making his choice, he had also tried to understand the "Dream" Path, but the conditions to become a Beyonder of the "Dream" Path were simply too harsh.

The single requirement of wholeheartedly believing in the "Supreme Dream" was enough to block Klein's thoughts.

"But I have already advanced..." Klein said.

"Who said you can't if you've already advanced?" Chumen said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Ah!" Klein's brain stalled, and it took him a moment to realize.

"Isn't it only possible to choose a Pathway once?" Klein thought of a certain possibility, and his breathing grew a bit rapid.

"There are always exceptions." Chumen looked slightly smug, "The 'Dream' is different from all other Pathways, and this is also one of the reasons why the 'Dream Sect' is so special."
