Chapter 91: Divination and the Path (3 Days Until Launch)

Wutong Street.

Aaron visited Mr. Clark Das again.

"Thank you for your gift, you are truly too kind."

Clark held a decorative ring in his hand, exclaiming in wonder: "The style is simple and archaic, with the flair of the Kajashi Kingdom; this is yet another precious historical artifact... worth at least 100 pounds!"

"I must also thank Mr. Das for your previous guidance and trade."

Aaron watched as the servant retreated, then spoke openly.

Clark stared at his eyes, which seemed to have a faint white glow, and affirmed: "You have ascended? These symptoms of Spirituality overflowing cannot be wrong. It will last for a period of time. During this period, beware of the Secret Police, beware of other Extraordinary beings... Of course, as an Extraordinary, even when your state recovers, you must beware of firearms, beware of obsession with knowledge, beware of unknown mumbling and hallucinations, beware of not chanting strange honorific names..."

'That is quite a lot to be wary of...' Aaron muttered to himself, then suddenly asked: "Since ascending, I feel I have gained the ability of divination... I should be able to avoid some risks."

Clark shook his head: "You are being too presumptuous. Divination is not omnipotent. Although as long as one has Spirituality, one can use Rituals to perform divination, the possibility of error is too high—being influenced, being interfered with, or even being misled..."

Aaron was somewhat dazed, then continued to ask, learning a piece of news that left him somewhat stunned.

In the current Extraordinary world, accurate divination is actually a very rare ability!

And the reason is the harshness of the current environment.

When Aaron first performed divination, the whole world was made of mortals, and he was the only one half a level higher, so there was no interference or influence.

But now, the Dream Realm affects the whole world, numerous Extraordinary beings and official organizations form dense threads, and a large number of Extraordinary creatures are likewise emitting influence.

There are even the terrifying remains of the Si Sui, all of which have polluted the environment.

If Aaron's previous divination was like performing exclusive operations in a clean environment before the 19th century, before the invention of radio.

Then the current atmospheric environment is like the time after the invention of radio, where various frequency bands are occupied, filled with pollution and interference, causing the difficulty of divination to skyrocket!

'But I feel fine, it seems I haven't received much interference...'

Aaron said to himself in his heart, listening to Clark say: "At this time, those who can still perform accurate divination should be only a few people, such as those who specialize in paths like 'Yao', 'Darkness', or 'Shadow', and are powerful Extraordinaries who have opened four or more Primordial Substances, but the price is also very high!"

Clark glanced at Aaron: "If you ascend to a high position, perhaps you can try it, but note one thing: divination does not belong to the domain of Fate, but to the domain of 'Time Sequence'. It is easily interfered with and influenced by many Si Sui, so it often requires sacrificing to fixed Si Sui to borrow the blessing of a higher status to obtain accurate results..."

"'Time Sequence'?"

Aaron raised a question.

"That is correct, it is Time Sequence! Therefore, it is easier to divine things that have already happened in the past, more difficult to divine things that are currently happening, and most difficult to divine the future, which is also the easiest to be misled!"

Clark was very knowledgeable and cleared up Aaron's confusion.

"Actually, I came precisely for the sake of advancement... The Secret Transmission I obtained is incomplete; after opening the First Primordial Substance, I do not know the path ahead."

Aaron pretended to be troubled.

"This is normal, but also quite troublesome... A legacy of 'Yao'? I fear it only exists within official organizations or those ancient Cults and secret societies... However, those Cults are filled with crazy faith and deity worship, advocating blood sacrifices; most are a bunch of lunatics... The ones that are not so crazy are the 'Stonemason Brotherhood', and in modern times, some also call it the 'Craftsman Brotherhood'! It should possess a Secret Transmission specializing in 'Yao', as well as a legacy for secondary studies in 'Darkness' and 'Underworld'..."

"What do you mean by specializing and secondary studies?" Aaron widened his eyes; this truly touched his blind spot.

"Currently known Elements total eight: Yao, Darkness, Underworld, Shadow, Scarlet, Pupa, Tower, and Secret... For the first ascension, one must and can only choose one of these paths." Clark laughed: "But after opening the First Primordial Substance 【Cornerstone】, one will face a choice of paths."

"Some Extraordinaries will continue along the path chosen the first time, while others will study a second, or even a third Element, thus forming all kinds of weird professions."

"Take 'Yao' for example; its first stage of ascension is always 'Light Bearer', but there are differences afterward. For instance, if one continues to study 'Yao', after opening the Second Primordial Substance, one will ascend to become a 'Child of Light'! But if one chooses to specialize in 'Yao' and study 'Darkness' as a secondary, one will ascend to become a 'Balancer'! If one studies 'Underworld' as a secondary, one will ascend to become a 'Lightless One' in the second stage..."

Aaron nodded repeatedly as he listened, feeling that this must be brand-new content developed in Occultism over the past millennium.

Previously, whether it was the Secret Transmission in his hands or people like Lin and Olivia, they should have all been Extraordinaries who studied a single path.

"Then, what is the difference between them?"

"Those who study a single path will have more powerful professional abilities, while those who study other paths as a secondary might master more varied abilities..." Clark replied.

But Aaron felt that he might not be very clear about it either.

Aaron thought for a moment and asked one last question: "Tower... what does it represent?"

"'Tower' is a symbol of wisdom, representing knowledge and reason... Of course, believers of the Ethereal Sect might have disputes in this regard. In fact, Occultism is a process of constant development and resolving disputes."

Aaron accepted the teaching gladly and took his leave.

After leaving the villa, a cold sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

'Sure enough... 'Yao' has been castrated. Although the 'Light Bearer' of the first stage seems no different from the 'Light Bearer' 【he knew】, the second stage is completely different.'

In the Secret Transmission he obtained directly from the sun itself, the second stage of the path specializing in 'Yao' is called 'Light Shepherd'!

And, it is extremely powerful in the later stages, bordering on terrifying!

"Look for a Cult group to learn the legacy? Heh... what they know might not even be as much as I do."

Aaron shook his head.

His 'Yao' Secret Transmission was obtained directly from the Scarlet Sun itself. Although partially incomplete, the Ascension Ritual aspect is relatively complete and can progress all the way to the seventh stage!

Converted, this is roughly opening the Seventh Primordial Substance, equivalent to the status of an 'Immortal'.

Most Cult organizations and secret societies probably still think this status only exists in theory!

'So, I am not lacking in Secret Transmissions...'

'What I lack are the materials for ascension, various general Occult knowledge, and high-level combat techniques, etc... After all, the legacy is flawed; only the main line of ascending is barely complete, while the various supporting methods are somewhat missing...'
