Chapter 418
……
At this moment, over the Sea of Sunia!
Alger stared at the scene within the Great Dao Golden List, and he laughed!
From the very beginning, he had suspected that this Lord Fool might not be a deity!
However, because repeated probes had yielded no results, making the figure seem even more mysterious, he had finally suppressed those doubts.
He never expected that now, with the Great Dao Golden List revealing everything, he would see the true situation of Lord Fool!
He laughed: "So, you are just an ordinary person after all!"
The previous utmost respect, the earlier caution and care, in this instant, all transformed into a hint of anger and displeasure!
However...
Displeasure aside, as he gazed at that Great Dao Golden List, his eyes flickered with a somewhat captivating ambition!
He, too, wanted to obtain a golden finger!
He, too, wanted to become a child of destiny!
It was just that...
A child of destiny!
Right, he is a child of destiny!
Lord Fool is a child of destiny!
Although not a god, being a child of destiny is indeed nobler than a god!
This...
For a moment, Alger fell silent again!
Once a child of destiny grows up, the consequences are tremendous.
By that time, they might even become more powerful and more outrageous than a god!
Frowning, he continued to look at the Great Dao Golden List...
……
At this moment, on the Great Dao Golden List, the scene continued...
Accompanying Zhou Mingrui calling himself Lord Fool, he personally witnessed the transaction between Alger and Miss Audrey.
By now, Alger was already a Sequence 7 Navigator.
At the same time, because of Zhou Mingrui's act of showing off, both of them felt that Zhou Mingrui was very powerful and mysterious.
Furthermore, due to Zhou Mingrui's insistence, Audrey took Justice as her codename, while Alger took the codename The Hanged Man!
Thus, the Taluo Society, held once a week, was formally established.
After returning from above the gray fog, Zhou Mingrui finally realized he could not return to Earth.
With the hope of returning shattered, he could only accept his identity.
From this point on, he finally fully immersed himself in the identity of Klein!
In order to survive, he naturally had to find a way to uncover all the answers.
The mystery of why the original owner, Klein, had committed suicide.
Soon, he detected clues within the notebook.
It seemed related to having read some kind of mysterious notebook.
And there were two other people who had read the notebook?
However, the crucial point was that those other two people had committed suicide in unimaginable ways.
Adding himself to the mix...
In other words, everyone who had viewed the notebook had committed suicide?
Was it only because he was a transmigrator that he had come back to life?
Klein frowned.
Undoubtedly, he had been dragged into the mysterious notebook incident.
However, it was precisely because of this mysterious notebook incident that it naturally attracted the attention of the authorities!
Dunn, the captain of the Nighthawks in Tingen, came to find Klein!
Using the abilities of a Sequence 7 Nightmare, he entered Klein's dreams to investigate, thereby concluding that Klein had lost his memory!
This mysterious notebook was the family notebook of the Antigonus family, recording the potion formula for the Seer pathway and some secret history of the Fourth Epoch.
Some obscure knowledge that does not circulate inherently represents a source of certain mystical powers.
Therefore, this notebook was very important to the Nighthawks team!
Captain Dunn intended to have Klein locate this notebook, and thus invited Klein to join the Nighthawks team.
For Klein, the extraordinary, the powerful, and the supernatural naturally attracted him.
He also wanted to become an extraordinary being, wanted to become a Sequence holder, and so, naturally, he chose to join the Nighthawks team.
Finally, after accumulating enough contributions, he finally consumed the potion and became a Sequence 9 Seer!
Of course, during this period, he also learned what sealed artifacts were and understood the duties of the Nighthawks team!
The Nighthawks team existed for a group of poor wretches who constantly fought against danger and madness...
Walking alongside danger to protect ordinary people from being eroded by darkness!
This was the Nighthawks team!
Similarly, Klein also roughly understood the origin of the world...
Starting from the creation myth, the Creator awakened from chaos, broke through the gloom, and created the first ray of light.
Then He completely merged Himself into the universe, transforming into all things; His body became the earth and the stars, one of His eyes became the sun, the other eye became the crimson moon, and parts of His blood surged to become the seas and rivers, giving birth to life...
His lungs evolved into elves; his heart evolved into giants; his liver evolved into tree-men; his head evolved into a giant dragon; his kidneys evolved into feathered serpents; his hair evolved into phoenixes; his ears evolved into demonic wolves; his mouth and teeth evolved into aberrations; his remaining bodily fluids evolved into sea monsters, with the essence being nagas; his stomach, his small and large intestines, and the evil parts of his body evolved into demons, evil spirits, and various unknown evil existences, while his spirit became the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom...
Humanity was born from His wisdom; this was the First Era, the Chaos Era.
Hmm, it's just like a myth or legend!
Those who don't know better might think it's Pangu creating heaven and earth!
It also says that at the end of the Second Era, the Goddess of Night awakened and, along with other deities, protected humanity through the Great Calamity, which is the so-called Third Era, the Calamity Era!
Anyway, it's all just gods and ghosts.
As for the specifics, I'm not very clear!
The Goddess of Darkness is the Lord of Crimson; crimson symbolizes the Red Moon, and the Red Moon is derived from the Creator...
Therefore, humanity and the deities actually share the same root and source!
It's just that humanity was born from the Creator's wisdom, possessing minds but no miraculous power; yet because of this shared origin, according to this theory, humanity under the protection of the deities gradually figured out methods to obtain extraordinary power while fighting against giants, demons, and aberrations!
This involves using corresponding parts from evil spirits, giant dragons, monsters, miraculous trees, flowers, or crystals, combined with other materials, to brew potions, which are then consumed and absorbed to master different powers!
These are the so-called Beyonders!
Similarly, humans cannot consume potions exceeding their sequence.
If they do, there are only three possible outcomes.
Either the spirit dies and the body collapses, with every piece of flesh and blood turning into a monster.
Or, due to the potion's power, their personality changes, turning them into a cold, ruthless, brutal, and irritable individual.
Or, they go mentally insane, erupting into madness on the spot and becoming a monster more demonic than a demon itself; this is the so-called loss of control!
Cultivation carries risks; consuming potions requires caution!
As for the so-called Sealed Artifacts...
They are guarded by the Nighthawks, kept under strict secrecy, and sealed behind certain doors!
These so-called Sealed Artifacts also have their own lore.
Essentially, they are items possessing miraculous powers!
Of course, the reason they are called Sealed Artifacts is that while these things possess miraculous powers, they also carry even stronger side effects!
Behind every gift of fate, the price is clearly marked!
Therefore, these miraculous items must be sealed!
They are distinguished by numerical codes. From the late Fourth Era to the early Fifth Era, the Qishenjiao Society formed a unified naming convention, using "0," "1," "2," and "3" to denote different danger levels.
Level "0" signifies extreme danger, requiring the highest attention and secrecy; they must not be inquired about, spread, described, or peered into. They are said to be terrifying items capable of destroying nations or even the world. The number of Level "0" Sealed Artifacts held by the major orthodox churches ranges between five and eight, corresponding to the status of Angels and above.
Level "1" signifies high danger and allows for limited utilization, corresponding to the status of Saints.
Level "2" signifies danger, requiring cautious and restrained utilization, corresponding to the status of mid-sequence.
Level "3" signifies a certain degree of danger, requiring careful use; applications for their use mandate actions involving three or more people, corresponding to the status of low-sequence.
