Chapter 438

~8 min read 1,444 words

When she woke up, Klein directly stated that this was a minor issue; within a week at most, the nightmare would dissipate on its own.

Elizabeth thanked him and departed.

Immediately afterward, Klein returned to the company and reported the matter to the Captain.

The Captain then took Frye and Klein with him, and the three of them headed together to the Gubao.

In addition, the trio brought along a Level 3 Sealed Artifact: the mutated Sun Sacred Emblem!

This object could evolve corpses and ghosts.

However, if a normal person remained within fifteen meters of it for one hour, they would become an idiot who knew only how to "Praise the Sun."

As for Beyonders, their limit was six hours!

Through the cooperation of the three, and under the illumination of the Sacred Emblem, the vengeful spirits were instantly reduced to ash and smoke.

Nevertheless, they still felt that this ancient castle was not simple, and thus began an investigation in the surrounding area.

During the investigation, Klein saw a portrait of the first-generation baron of the ancient castle.

He discovered that this baron looked very much like Mr. Azik.

If it really was Mr. Azik...

Was it possible that Azik had already lived for over a thousand years?

Reincarnating multiple times, with the memories of his previous life dying at the end of each cycle?

This...

This speculation startled even Klein.

However, he still committed it to memory!

Just then, Klein seemed to sense someone calling out to a deity...

He turned and returned above the gray fog, seeing the fellow who was calling out!

It wasn't exactly calling out to him; rather, due to his random shouting, he had summoned many deities with similar characteristics...

Other deities did not wish to deal with him, but Klein, this non-deity Fool, naturally agreed to respond!

That fellow, thinking he had encountered a god, was somewhat terrified!

But Klein stated plainly that he was not a god, merely a Fool interested in long history!

He pulled the youth Derrick into the gray fog space.

Soon he understood that Derrick was from the same world as him, though he did not know where the so-called Bai Yin City was located.

Bai Yin City had no sun, moon, or stars, only unchanging darkness and lightning that tore everything apart...

Legend held that the Omniscient and Omnipotent God had abandoned this land, hence it was also known as the "Land Abandoned by God"!

Hearing this made it sound just like another world!

However, that was not important...

Ultimately, Klein allowed Derrick to join the Taluo Society and asked Derrick to choose a Tarot card as his alias...

"The Sun, I choose The Sun!" Derrick declared with decisive firmness, his tone resolute!

A youth who had lived in darkness day and night longed to see the sun, and even to become the sun!

Afterwards, Klein obtained from Derrick some legends regarding Bai Yin City, the Bai Yin Kingdom, and the Giant King's Court...

This made Klein even more certain that Bai Yin City, this miraculous place, was located in a corner of their own world...

After all, Bai Yin City shared the same history as the Northern Continent!

At the same time, he also learned from Derrick the potion formulas for the Giant pathway!

Sequence 9: Warrior, Sequence 8: Gladiator, Sequence 7: Weapon Master, Sequence 6: Dawn Paladin, Sequence 5: Guardian, Sequence 4: Demogorgian!

He knew nothing beyond that!

But this was the first time Klein had learned the names of some higher Sequences!

Although this was only the Giant sequence.

It still opened a window for Klein!

Shortly after, Klein also learned the names of certain potions from the Jiguang Society!

A Shepherd sequence...

Sequence 9: Seer, Sequence 8: Listener, Sequence 7: Hermit, Sequence 6: Rose Bishop, Sequence 5: Shepherd!

Afterwards, Derrick recounted some conditions in Bai Yin City; the city was under a curse where both ordinary people and Beyonders would become evil spirits after death, though those formed from Beyonders were even more terrifying; historically, the curse had nearly destroyed Bai Yin City several times!

The only solution was for someone of the same bloodline to personally end the life of the deceased!

In other words, children had to personally kill their own parents!

Klein was somewhat speechless...

What kind of curse was this?

In the end, he still let Derrick join the Taluo Society, becoming its third member!

Immediately after, Klein returned to reality!

At this moment, their exposure to the Sacred Emblem had already reached three hours, approaching the limit.

To reduce side effects, the three took turns keeping watch, while the other two used the Chenciji Society to adjust their bodies.

While Klein was keeping watch over the Sacred Emblem, his hand began to itch again.

He could not resist divining the origin of the Sacred Emblem.

Then, he saw the deity "Eternal Blazing Sun," and his body instantly turned into a torch, burning with Xiong Xiong flames!

A god cannot be gazed upon!

Fortunately, the gray fog space was sufficiently Mo Ce, and Klein narrowly escaped death to survive.

However, precisely because of this adventure, he had gained a great deal of information!

1. Do not look directly upon a god!

2. The Sequence 1 of the Sun pathway is called the Pure Light Angel!

3. The technique for crafting Sun Flame talismans; these are talismans of the Sun domain, their effects can last for a year despite weakening, no ritual is required to use them, 3-0782 can be used as a substitute to steal power from this Sun Sacred Radiance!

4. Holds extreme hostility toward the Lord of Storms and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom!

5. Sequence 9 Bard potion formula: Main ingredients: one crystallized sunflower, or the tail feather of an adult Firestone Bird, or the tail feather of an Arsonist Bird; one Siren Stone or one Singing Sunflower! Auxiliary ingredients: one Midsummer Grass, five drops of July Wine juice, one leaf of Elf Shadow!

6. Sequence 8 Light Seeker potion formula: Main ingredients: one piece of Radiant Stone, or powder of a Brilliant White Soul, or the blood of a Mirror Hedgehog, or the heart of a Magma Giant! Auxiliary ingredients: one Gold-Rimmed Sunflower, three drops of Aconite juice.

7. Sequence 5 Priest of Light potion formula: Main ingredients: unknown; Auxiliary ingredients: 5 grams of rosemary, 7 drops of golden bergamot juice, 10 milliliters of rock water, 60 milliliters of Dawn Rooster King's blood...

8. Sequence 4 Unshadowed potion formula: Main ingredients can be golden divine blood extracted from Sun Sacred Radiance, alternatively, three tail feathers of an adult Sun Divine Bird and one piece of Sacred Radiant Stone can be used as substitutes; auxiliary ingredients unknown...

This is what Klein obtained by looking directly upon a deity and then divining!

It was just like a survival reward!

He successfully survived the process of looking directly upon a deity, and furthermore, received a reward!

Soon, it was time for the Taluo Society gathering again.

The Sun, as a new member, obtained the Sequence 9 Bard formula!

In exchange, at the next gathering, Justice will obtain the Sequence 8 "Spectator" formula!

The Fool will obtain 300 pounds!

Naturally, the Fool is a deity and would not be interested in vulgar money; it is merely that Klein, the Fool's believer, is short on funds...

Yes, it is not the Fool who wants the money!

The Fool's believer Klein wants money; what does that have to do with the Fool?

At this moment, countless people burst out laughing!

Damn, seeking benefits for oneself is actually acceptable?

Immediately afterward, Klein received new notes from Emperor Roselle!

"November 3rd, Matilda is three months pregnant; now, even those maids from the countryside appear delicate and refined to me. No, I cannot lower my class and style. Fortunately, Countess Fules has invited me to a private party, hehe."

"November 8th, Fan..."

"November 9th, so there are such secrets hidden within the sequence pathways. Archbishop Estin told me that after becoming a Sequence 5 Beyonders, the subsequent portions can be substituted with corresponding sequences from one or two other pathways! That is, starting from the step between mid-sequences and high-sequences! But this is limited to only those one or two pathways; once one substitutes with a potion from the wrong pathway, going half-mad is the lightest outcome, and furthermore, further advancement will be impossible thereafter."

"Pathways that can be mutually substituted starting from Sequence 4 include the 'Sleepless' pathway and the 'Corpse Collector' pathway; hmm, the church's 'Knowledge Seeker' pathway and the 'Mystery Pryer' pathway can also substitute for each other at high sequences." Yi.
