Chapter 281: Seeing Fate Once More

Azik seemed filled with guilt over this war, but from the information Klein currently possessed, this was a game between higher-level beings, between True Gods, and the fault did not lie with him.

"What is this ritual?" Klein asked, slightly distracting Mr. Azik to achieve a comforting effect.

"The godhood ritual of the 'Red Priest'." The icy coldness on Azik's face melted a little. "That is, the True God of the 'Hunter' pathway."

Klein felt as if his heart could not take it; the various pieces of information he had learned today were truly explosive. In the future, the status of Mr. "Fool" would absolutely be able to hold up.

"Do you know about the Four Emperors?" Azik gazed at his past self for a moment, then shifted his gaze elsewhere, his expression softening.

He looked at Klein as if they had returned to Tingen University, discussing history with his student.

"The 'Black Emperor' and 'Hidden Emperor' of the Solomon Empire, the 'Night Emperor' of the Trensost Empire, and your father, the 'Underworld Emperor'." Klein was also quite accustomed to this atmosphere of discussing history.

"Actually, there is one more, the 'Blood Emperor', it is him." Azik pointed toward that ancient city.

The True God of the "Hunter" pathway, the "Blood Emperor"?!

"There are no records of this in history, nor are there any such Churches or secret organizations." Klein thought for a moment and answered honestly.

"Because he is the shortest-lived True God in history, killed by the 'Hidden Emperor' on this very day." Azik revealed a faint smile; the opponent had won the war, but had lost everything.

Klein was astonished. Following the direction of Azik's finger, he only saw a mass of chaotic information suspended high in the sky.

It was clearly not something he could look at.

Yet, out of a certain sense of wishful thinking, Klein still widened his eyes, wanting to see something from that chaotic information.

"This is the power of the 'Hidden Emperor'. He intercepted that entire war in a state of information; without understanding the corresponding information, it is impossible to interpret..."

Mr. Azik couldn't help but laugh as he watched Klein's actions, wanting to provide some popular science to Klein, at the very least allowing him to see something.

But very quickly, Azik Eggers's eyes changed, because a stream of information was truly reflected in Klein's pupils, radiating a sharpness that even Azik Eggers found alarming.

"No wonder he was chosen by Bishop Chumen." Mr. Azik smiled lightly and stopped worrying about Klein. At the time, he himself had not been qualified to witness this battle, but now the information projection gave him that possibility.

This was a war of True Gods; even Angels were not qualified to watch, and now that it had been recorded by the "Hidden Emperor," even those pieces of knowledge were correct and useful due to the "Hidden Emperor's" Authority.

And at this very moment, in the depths of Klein's mind, something terrifying appeared once again.

His body felt as if it had frozen, as if he had returned to that terrifying scene of peeking into the secrets of the mutated Sun Holy Emblem.

It was a Spear of Destiny flickering with cold light, carrying unimaginable power as it pierced through the boundaries of space and time, nailing a red figure fiercely onto the altar!

In this world, does such pure attack still exist?

Klein was also a Sequence 7 of two pathways and had his own understanding of Beyonder powers. These powers were more about controlling certain Rules and applying them; there was rarely this kind of ultimate purity.

But this Spear of Destiny, which had once pierced a "Sun" pathway Angel and now pierced a True God, gave Klein a sense of purity.

After becoming pure to the extreme, it could even pierce and nail a god to death.

And through his understanding of this Spear of Destiny, Klein began to see other things from that chaotic stream of information.

For example, that blood-colored figure being pierced; Klein already understood that this was the True God who only existed for one day, the "Blood Emperor".

This power is truly terrifying... Klein sighed. Even a God War could be imprinted, and one only needed to master the corresponding knowledge to watch it.

It was just that, limited by the occult knowledge he possessed, the things Klein could see were truly limited; he couldn't even see the "Hidden Emperor" who had actually thrown the Spear of Destiny.

"But... isn't the Spear of Destiny something that belongs to the 'Supreme Dream'? How did it end up in the hands of this 'Hidden Emperor' in the Fourth Epoch?"

Klein also had a certain understanding of this "Hidden Emperor." He was the god worshipped by the "Mose Ascetic Order," one of the largest secret organizations, known as the "Hidden Sage" and the "Hermit," a god who symbolized knowledge.

"It's a pity I can't see clearly, otherwise I might have been able to see some knowledge of the 'Seer' pathway."

In fact, although Klein's view of that blood-colored figure was not clear enough, he had still grasped quite a bit of very high-level knowledge, such as "Sequence 0," "Red Priest," and "godhood ritual."

"What did you see?" Mr. Azik asked curiously.

"... The Spear of Destiny!" Klein hesitated for a moment before saying it.

"You actually saw it?" Azik's tone paused slightly, then he thought of something and said with a smile, "You were also a Nighthawk once; you should be very familiar with the Sealed Artifact system, right?"

Klein nodded gently, then looked at Mr. Azik, as if he had thought of something.

Azik didn't keep Klein in suspense and said directly, "The number of this Spear of Destiny in the Sealed Artifact sequence agreed upon by the major Churches is '0-01'; it is the origin of Sealed Artifacts."

Klein actually had a feeling that this was only natural.

"The Church? Doesn't the 'Hidden Emperor' not have a Church?" Klein asked subconsciously.

"No, the Spear of Destiny has always been kept in the Church of the 'Eternal Blazing Sun'."

Klein paused abruptly, his Spirituality suddenly turbulent, but the next instant, it returned to normal.

"The Spear of Destiny is related to the 'Supreme Dream', and it might even have been crafted by him."

"And didn't the Spear of Destiny kill another 'Sun' Angel? At least an Angel! But it actually belongs to the Church of the 'Eternal Blazing Sun'?"

"And the Spear of Destiny fell into the hands of the 'Hidden Emperor' and killed the 'Blood Emperor'..."

Klein intuitively felt that there must be some secret hidden within this, and the Spear of Destiny was the clue that ran through it all.

"Terrifying history..." Klein sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Indeed, this is also the reason why I chose to become a history lecturer. I am also very interested in those pasts buried under the dust of history. I hope you can also maintain this curiosity." Azik shared the same sentiment as Klein.

The two began to cross the battlefield, heading toward that ancient city.

However, Azik Eggers's expression changed very quickly. He stood still in his tracks, looking at this city, and fell into silence.

"Where did that altar go?!"
