Chapter 1149: Premature Transaction

New Bai Yin City.

Derrick Berg picked up the prepared "Sun-Seeker" potion, looked at the liquid that seemed to be formed by the convergence of streams of pure light, and poured it into his mouth.

In an instant, he was like approaching the real sun, and his entire person was ignited, showing signs of melting.

Derrick did not retreat, continuing to "run" toward the light and sun he sensed.

His body quickly became like metal baked by fire, first sliding down drop by drop, then quickly softening, surging toward the ground like water.

His bones melted, his internal organs melted, his brain melted, and his spirit and consciousness were also dissipating rapidly.

But he still didn't stop, relying on the support provided by the core justice within him, struggling and squirming forward according to the light and sun he sensed in his blurred consciousness.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the Forsaken Land of the Gods, returned to the old days when he followed Chief Colin Iliad and Gehrman Sparrow to break into the Giant King's Court, but the difference was that now, what shrouded everything was not darkness and lightning, but the crimson moonlight that illuminated the darkness.

Derrick dragged his melted body and soul, holding the belief of abandoning everything just for the light to shine, struggling and firmly continuing to chase.

The light got closer and closer, and his spirit also fused into the heat, leaving only a remnant of consciousness.

He finally saw the pair of doors, feeling that behind the door was the sun he yearned for, the light.

His blurred consciousness hit the door, knocking it open a crack.

A sea of light filled with golden rays entered Derrick's eyes, and a sun interwoven with blazing white and golden yellow rose slowly, illuminating all directions and dispelling the crimson and darkness.

Derrick Berg smiled and stopped at the door.

He then sensed his spirit, soul, and body flowing back bit by bit, condensing into one.

The door he saw quickly became illusory, and the sun gradually faded in color, lost its form, and revealed its truest appearance:

A slowly rotating chaotic vortex face.

Lu Mian put the strange dark gold mask back onto the center of the head on his left shoulder, combined with the scattering of starlight, covering this face.

He came to New Bai Yin City this time to fulfill his promise, helping Mr. "Sun" Derrick complete the ritual.

The ritual of "Sun-Seeker" requires: finding an item with at least angel level that has a close connection with the occult "Sun," finding a way to bind the most important memory closely related to one's core justice to it, and placing it in front of oneself.

This can provide a beacon for the Beyonder after taking the "Sun-Seeker" potion, a mysterious connection that only melts at the very end, helping them not lose their way or confuse their consciousness during the process of "chasing light" or "chasing the sun," enhancing their belief to persist, so as to hold on until the potion completes the transformation.

In this ritual, the step of binding memory and items together was completed by Mr. "Fool's" "Grafting," and the item was Lu Mian's chaotic vortex face, which had a close connection with the "Sea of Chaos" and was naturally closely related to the occult "Sun."

What Lu Mian needed to do was arrive at the scene, take off the mask, and let the chaotic vortex face show the power of the "Sun."

After stabilizing his state, Derrick Berg, wearing a simple white robe, bowed to Lu Mian:

"Thank you for your help."

Lu Mian looked around and said with a smile:

"I want to borrow a room."

"Okay." Mr. "Sun" Derrick didn't ask why.

He helped Lu Mian find a quiet scripture reading room at the headquarters of the "Fool" Church.

Lu Mian sat down and raised his left hand, pressing onto the mask in the center of his head.

The shadow under him suddenly squirmed, as if it had gained self-consciousness.

Immediately after, Lu Mian's voice echoed in his heart, falling into his own shadow, his own fallen self-nature:

"Mr. Napo Reddisli, I want to meet you now."

This voice sank into the pitch-black depths, echoing layer by layer.

For this level of utilization of "Visionary" and "Hanged Man" powers, Lu Mian didn't need to lift the seal or take off the mask.

Not long after, in his shadow, there seemed to be pitch-black evil liquid churning and surging, and a Napo Reddisli with ice-blue eyes quickly grew out of them.

"Good afternoon." Napo Reddisli bowed with the demeanor of a gentleman, sat on the opposite chair, and asked with a smile, "Are you going to have a deep secret communion with the 'City of Calamity'?"

"I still need two or three weeks to strengthen the balance of my body. You don't want me to explode as soon as I accommodate the 'City of Calamity,' right?" Lu Mian asked back with a smile.

"Then what is the matter with finding me?" Napo Reddisli didn't guess again, asking directly.

Lu Mian laughed:

"I want to ask you to give me that 'God-Sinner' Beyonder characteristic in advance, otherwise it might be too late to operate by then.

"We have to prevent accidents, all preparations must be made in advance."

"But you haven't fulfilled your promise yet." Napo Reddisli reminded.

Lu Mian looked at Him and said in a playful tone:

"I am not that Heaven-Honored One. Do I have a record of breaking promises?

"Also, helping you is also helping myself. I have no reason not to fulfill the promise. At most, it's failing to accommodate, indirectly making your attempt unsuccessful, but if that happens, everyone will die, including your 'God-Sinner' clone, so there is no point in keeping it."

Napo Reddisli was silent and didn't answer.

He never hesitated to speculate on others' intentions with the deepest malice.

He was the embodiment of malice itself.

"If you are still worried, you can plant a spiritual imprint in my consciousness and spirit now." Lu Mian proposed a method, "I don't mind carrying it for two or three weeks. The only problem is that it might conversely affect you, contaminate you, and you know what I have on me."

"But you can erase the spiritual imprint before the deep secret communion." Napo Reddisli hesitated for a moment and said.

Lu Mian suddenly laughed:

"Do you want to sign another notarization document, made by me, witnessed by Mr. 'Fool'?"

Napo Reddisli stared at Lu Mian for a few seconds and then revealed a smile:

"No need, I believe you. I will let my 'God-Sinner' clone come over now.

"Let's wait until you have a deep secret communion with the 'City of Calamity' to plant the spiritual imprint."

"Deal." Lu Mian returned the smile.

At a glance...

Not long after, the "God-Sinner" Fabuti, whose body was covered in gold and wearing a mask painted in white and black oil paint, walked out of the Spirit World and came before Lu Mian.

Napo Reddisli raised his head, looked at the "God-Sinner" Fabuti, and nodded at each other.

Lu Mian saw this and said with emotion:

"After the last 'Dream Festival,' in order to protect the grave and deal with the angels of the 'Rose Redemption' Indulgence Sect and the Demon Family, we made a lot of preparations. Who knew that those couldn't be used at all. The early descent of the Red Moon turned the whole world into ruins, making the 'Dream Festival' unable to be held normally.

"This is why I hope you give me the 'God-Sinner' Beyonder characteristic in advance. The enemy won't watch us make preparations, won't wait for us to make preparations in an orderly manner, and then start the apocalypse.

"When there is still some time, we must finish what should be done as soon as possible. Don't always think about waiting for the perfect time. The future is full of variables."

Napo Reddisli smiled and responded:

"Although I doubt your motivation, my brain tells me this does need attention."

Accompanied by His words, the "God-Sinner" Fabuti took off that golden mask derived from the former "Death" Salinger.

Clatter, the gold wrapping His body fell off piece by piece, clanging as it hit the ground.

His body also disintegrated. In just a few seconds, it turned into a strange-shaped tree covered in viscous black liquid, shaped like a human.

"Is the mythical creature form of 'God-Sinner' like this?" Lu Mian asked curiously for once.

Napo Reddisli smiled and shook his head:

"The mythical creature form of the 'Bound' pathway is actually invisible, a collection of various curses. The mythical creature form you saw before is essentially something that carries this collection, no, not carrying, using 'binding' and 'fixing' to describe it is more in line with symbolic meaning.

"Therefore, the external mythical creature form of this pathway depends on self-cognition and the reliance chosen during the advancement to Sequence 4 'Puppet' and Sequence 2 'Ancient Evil,' which will decompose the binding and fixing into various curses."

"Mummy at the demigod level?" Lu Mian remembered the characteristic items needed in the advancement ritual of "Puppet."

Napo Reddisli nodded gently:

"This is the reliance, but it doesn't have to be a mummy at the demigod level. Other items that can produce similar effects and have the same level can also be used. Hehe, the 'Rose Redemption' Temperance Sect using mummies for advancement is their tradition, related to the image and experience of Tolzner, and later influenced the burial style of the Highland Kingdom.

"The advancement of 'Ancient Evil' also requires finding an evil item from ancient times that can carry angel power, which will become an important part of the final mythical creature form.

"Natural mythical creatures like Sio and Tieri, who haven't completed the corresponding sequence advancement, manifest as the amplification of Beyonder characteristics."

After finishing this matter, Napo Reddisli and Lu Mian chatted a few more words about the deep secret communion, and then left.

As soon as He left, Reinette Tinekerr, holding four blonde, red-eyed heads, and "Temperance" Lady Sharron, wearing a small soft hat, appeared in the room.

They felt the aggregation and came over to check, following their spiritual intuition.

"Our transaction can be advanced." Lu Mian revealed a smile on his face.

Sharron nodded, letting the crystal crown stained with crimson, which had been hidden in the Spirit World, break free from the seal and fly toward Lu Mian.

This is the Grade 0 Sealed Artifact "Crimson Calamity" corresponding to "Calamity Witch."

"It is yours." Lu Mian pointed to that "God-Sinner" Beyonder characteristic.

"Thank"..."You"..."For"..."Your"..."Help"... Reinette Tinekerr said one by one with her four heads.

Sharron lifted her skirt and bowed to express her gratitude.

After the two ladies collected the Beyonder characteristics and left the room, Lu Mian took the "Crimson Calamity," returned to where "Sun" Derrick was, and said with a smile:

"You can trade the 'Gift of the Earth' to me now."

While he was speaking, the eyes of the Chick face turned into mirrors, and a figure walked out.

That was Gidas, beautiful to the extreme, with scarlet eyes.

ps: Thanks to Zuri Zhuri Yiran for the silver alliance reward again~
