Chapter 89: Light Bearer

"The dangers within the Dream Realm are beyond your imagination... and the most dangerous of all are the Siming Gods located at the pinnacle!"

Clark changed his sitting posture, his expression a mix of fanaticism and awe: "They are the source of the Mysterious, the end of the paths, the ultimate truth... Mortals have given them many titles, such as Siming Gods, Gods Beyond the World, God of Time Pivot, Dominators, and so on, but remember, these are merely code names. If you chant their true names, perhaps They, who reside high above the Dream Realm, will cast a glance... That gaze is enough to destroy any Extraordinary! It brings terrifying disaster!"

"The Siming Gods reside high above the Dream Realm, governing time and the months, while also being full of interest in the Mortal World... Some mad members of Secret Teachings, in order to obtain ascension and Their rewards, create various bloody and terrifying rituals. Some even directly summon a brief descent of a Siming God's power, causing a disaster that destroys an entire city... Therefore, the official Extraordinaries of any country have the primary duty of keeping secrets, covering up the truth, hunting down Wild Beyonders, and cracking down on secret societies... This is actually quite reasonable."

……

"Siming Gods?"

Aaron was somewhat puzzled, thought for a moment, and said: "I seem to have heard an even more ancient title, called—Siming?"

"Siming? That is a very obscure and niche piece of knowledge. Even within the Dream Realm, it is recorded in only a very few ruins, but as it happens, I know it..."

Clark laughed: "According to the ancient records of the Ethereal Sect, a long time ago, the Siming Gods called themselves 'Siming God', meaning 'God who governs the fate of all living beings and the world', but They suffered the Backlash of Fate... Therefore, the Great Ones who came after no longer called themselves 'Siming', but changed it to 'Siming Gods', not daring to covet Fate anymore, but turning to Time Sequence... I feel that this historical record is questionable; it is very likely just the Ethereal Sect boasting... because they claim that the entity they worship governs Fate!"

"Ethereal Sect?"

Aaron had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

"It was once popular for a time, worshipping a Hidden Existence whose existence could not be proven... and then it naturally declined, because the entity they worshipped never gave a response..."

Clark said: "Back to the Siming Gods, They govern a certain month of the year. For example, the ruler of July is named 'Lady of the Forest'. She possesses both the imagery of the 'Stone-Heart Old Crone' and the 'Winter-Heart Maiden', and is considered a capricious god!"

"If you want to know about the Siming Gods of other months, that is very profound knowledge... I only possess incomplete parts."

"Alright, I believe this knowledge is enough for you to digest for a long time."

Clark Das finished his account and simultaneously put away all the ancient coins.

It was clear that he felt what he had recounted was enough to offset the value of the coins.

Aaron nodded. Although this person's depth in Occultism was not great, the breadth was acceptable, which happened to be useful to him and was the 'common sense' he lacked.

As for the true content of the Secret Transmission, it was impossible to be taught it without joining the other party's sect and undergoing scrutiny.

"I have one more thing I would like to ask you for help with. I need some Spirit Materials..."

Aaron smiled and took out another Silver Coin.

He had discovered that Clark did not care about the gold or silver quality of the ancient coins; it seemed insignificant.

What this old professor truly cared about was the historical accumulation on the coins, or rather, the aura of time.

Therefore, in Clark's eyes, the gold and silver coins in Aaron's hand might have the same value.

……

Golden Rose Street, No. 33.

"Welcome home, young master."

Walking through the front door, Sylvia, dressed in a maid's outfit, bowed to welcome him: "Tonight's main course is charcoal-grilled veal..."

"Hmm..."

Aaron enjoyed his dinner served by the maid and felt that Sylvia's culinary skills were quite good.

"I am going to sleep, do not disturb me."

After eating, he returned to his bedroom under Sylvia's slightly surprised gaze and locked the door.

Then, Aaron took a jewelry box from his bosom. After opening it, inside was a petal emitting a faint light.

"Sun Flower petal, the key item for the first ascension of the 'Light' path..."

This world had already begun to produce some Spirit Materials, and there were also Extraordinary creatures wandering about.

However, according to what Clark said, the Extraordinary materials needed by Extraordinaries were mostly found in the Dream Realm.

Previously, Aaron had used the last ancient coin on his person to exchange with Clark for this petal, which matched the description in the Secret Transmission.

As for the remaining auxiliary materials, he had already collected them all himself.

"'The first ritual ascension of the 'Light' path is also the opening of the First Primordial Substance. After success, the Extraordinary is called—'Light Bearer'!'"

"'I wonder what other 'Light' Extraordinaries are called after ascension nowadays...'"

With a thought, Aaron quickly took out beakers, test tubes, and other alchemy items, melted the Sun Flower petal, and prepared a Magic Potion with specks of golden light.

Immediately, he began to set up the Ascension Ritual on the floor, placing gold products in several key positions.

After finishing all the preparations, Aaron stood in the center of the ritual, and his Spirituality was slowly injected.

He felt a heat flow emerge from his heart, then spread in all directions and surge into his brain.

"The elevation and leap of Spirituality... has begun!"

Aaron muttered to himself and drank the Magic Potion.

The Magic Potion made from the Sun Flower tasted cool with a hint of spiciness, a bit like chili oil. After passing through his throat, it became scorching hot.

He felt as if his flesh and blood were beginning to melt, and his skin was being occupied by light inch by inch.

"Light!"

Fortunately, Aaron had plenty of experience before, and at this moment, he used Meditation to collect the Spirituality within his body with ease.

Slowly, the feeling of being illuminated by light and almost melting disappeared.

Before his eyes, a white mist seemed to emerge, and above the mist was a pure white sun.

The vision was fleeting.

Aaron opened his eyes, and wisps of white light appeared in his pupils.

"Finally..."

He whispered: "Finally... became a true Extraordinary!"

Even though he had once been the 'Green Devil' and possessed power far exceeding this, that was water without a source, like duckweed, gone with a gust of wind.

But now, he had truly and genuinely obtained Extraordinary Ability and rank, becoming a 'Light Bearer' who had opened the First Primordial Substance!

"'Light Bearer's' ability..."

Aaron rubbed his brow: "Hmm, the 'Light' Spirituality has broken through the limit. I don't need ritual assistance anymore, and I can perform that Purification ability."

"Besides that, my intuition has also increased. Is this a manifestation of divination ability?"

"Finally..."

Aaron Sothoth picked up a glass, and immediately felt its composition, state, and even a certain tactile sensation that could not be described in language.

"Acquired the ability to crudely identify the properties of objects; I can now begin to process some materials..."
