Chapter 433: Advancement via Two Pathways

After truly establishing a hidden cooperative relationship with the Rose School of Thought, Klein's progress in the ritual exceeded imagination; coupled with the cooperation of those few Angels, this had already reached Klein's standards.

"The advancement ritual needs to be held in the Solomon Empire."

The Sequence 3 "True Apostle" of the Dream Pathway is already a figure of note on this path; as far as Klein knows, the Dream Sect only has those few Angels.

Upon reaching Sequence 3 of the Dream Pathway, even the ritual can no longer be conducted in the Phantom Realm; one must go to the Dream Sanctuary to face the true Holy Statue directly.

"Doesn't that mean the Angel has to go to 'Fantasy Land'?" Klein had reason to speculate, "What should I do if I'm a bit expectant?"

He shook his head slightly, arrived at the Sanctuary directly through the Phantom Realm, and after reporting to Pope Hermes, came before the Holy Statue.

"Are you going to advance to 'True Apostle'?" The person who arrived was the "Mysterious Angel" Bernadette.

Her gaze locked onto Klein, "Have you thought it through? The probability of failure is very high; I'll have to pull you out when the time comes."

The Dream Pathway naturally does not have the problem of losing control, but it is highly likely that one will lose oneself.

After Sequence 5, Klein went from being infused with Dream Phosphor to being blessed at Sequence 4, and now, advancing to Sequence 3, he must truly walk into that Dream Sea.

This is the most critical link of the advancement; the Dream Sect has records of quite a few "Causality Attendants" being directly assimilated after walking into the Dream Sea.

That ocean is the manifestation of the power of the "Supreme Dream" and also an extension of His will; walking into the Dream Sea means enduring that level of assimilation from an Oldest One.

Of course, because those advancing are all attendants of Dream, He naturally will not make things difficult and might even lower the difficulty, but this is not something just anyone can endure; it is very easy for one's consciousness to be crushed.

The "Mysterious Angel" Bernadette came specifically to deal with this situation of assimilation.

"My ritual should be perfect, and it is time for me to advance." Klein understood the dangers involved.

"Good." Bernadette gently took off the somewhat old-fashioned hat on her head, signaling that Klein could begin.

"Can't let the big niece laugh at me..." Klein felt the gaze behind him and smiled lightly.

He walked under the Dream Statue and meticulously set up the altar; there was no need for Dream Gold Coins here, after all, as someone about to walk into the Dream Sea, Dream Gold Coins would be useless.

"Supreme Dream..." Klein had already hypnotized himself before coming, otherwise, there might have been some resistance.

"... I pray for your gaze, I pray for your Gift..."

"... I pray for the opening of the Kingdom of God's gates, I pray for the Baptism of the Dream Sea..."

Following Klein's prayer, a special Causality Thread gradually connected him to the Holy Statue.

To be precise, it was the "Dream Book" held by the Holy Statue.

That is the "door" left behind by the "Supreme Dream" personally; on the other side of the door is that true "Dream Book," connecting to the Dream Sea.

Boom—rumble... Klein heard the sound of surging tides.

That is... the Dream Sea!

Klein's body was pulled by that tangible Causality Thread, constantly heading toward the Dream Sea.

The "Dream Book" in the Holy Statue's hands had already become the door to the Dream Kingdom; behind the door was the surging Dream Sea.

Entering this sea and maintaining one's self is a step that must be experienced to become a "True Apostle."

"..." Bernadette watched all of this quietly; in her view, even with Chumen's tacit approval, this advancement was truly too fast.

A "Causality Attendant" of less than two months is about to advance to "True Apostle"; in Roselle's words, that's having a hole in one's brain!

During her girlhood, she was the apple of everyone's eye, yet she still took two years to adapt during the "Causality Attendant" period!

"Are all those transmigrators like this?" Bernadette had dug up quite a few secrets from Roselle.

Hmph! Bernadette was already prepared to fish someone out of the Dream Sea at any moment.

Klein passed through the gate of the Kingdom of God and truly entered the Dream Sea.

Hum... Klein's consciousness had no advantage when facing this ocean; the first moment was a collapse.

Except for a True God or even the "Supreme Dream" Himself, no one could maintain their self in this real Dream Sea.

This is "Source Quality."

Just as Klein's consciousness fell into distress, countless points of light suddenly appeared on his body.

They were like scattered stars, surrounding Klein, helping him resist the assimilation of the Dream Sea.

This is his "Anchor."

These points of light pointed to everyone who had eaten the Dreamland Ice Cream he manifested; their craving for this ice cream manifested as an "Anchor," anchoring Klein's self-consciousness.

"The ritual was completed quite well." Bernadette looked at the number of light points and nodded slightly.

Nearly one hundred thousand points of light were enough to keep Klein's consciousness clear to take the next step.

"Why is it a bit strange?" Bernadette keenly sensed the peculiarity of those light points.

A small portion of them were very ordinary, coming from some common people, but two parts were special.

One part was very large in quantity and very high in quality; they were actually all Beyonders!

"Rose School of Thought?" Bernadette was somewhat confused; she even saw the Pope of the Rose School of Thought among them.

"Besides Him, there are several other Angels..." Bernadette was shocked.

The final part was even more special; the light points jumped, and chanting sounds emanated from them.

"These are all fanatics; he has a Church?"

Bernadette blinked; besides the Rose School of Thought, Klein also had the faith of the Sea God Sect!

"The 'Sea God' faith, that snake in the Rosted Archipelago..." Bernadette's expression was strange.

"Are all these transmigrators so good at causing trouble? He actually impersonated the 'Sea God'!"

Klein had put in a great deal of effort for this advancement; even the "Sea God Sect" had been exposed.

"Baptism!" Klein's consciousness had awakened, truly drawing in the water of the Dream Sea to wash over himself.

This is the most critical step, more radical than the blessing of Dream.

Klein's skin began to turn transparent, flesh buds squirmed, and strips of worms constituted his flesh and blood.

It was also at this time that the endless Dream tide washed over, directly submerging all the Phosphor Worms.

It was just that Klein clearly was not prepared to stop there; he was ready to pull off something big and take a risk!

As for the reason... Klein had already obtained the eye of the "Flegen's Dog," learned of "Sefirah Castle," and caught a glimpse of a corner of the ultimate truth.

He could only attempt to resist by continuously advancing.

Snap!

Klein lightly snapped his fingers, and a thick stack of papers suddenly flew out from his sleeve; these were historical materials he had collected from various channels.

And as his thoughts stirred, these materials ignited.

He was going to advance along the "Diviner" Pathway simultaneously to become an "Ancient Scholar"!
