Chapter 16: A-Rank Evil God Genius!

Thank you, Lord Aobuli!

Ta Ke stood up and expressed his deepest gratitude.

The Evil God Organization's power is astonishing.

Being able to receive the patronage of a high-ranking figure who oversees the tower.

Ta Ke's safety was undoubtedly secured.

With this great figure backing him.

So... Ta Ke now has enough confidence to carry out his own plan.

Even the black pots he sometimes needs to carry can be shouldered by someone else.

In his thoughts, Ta Ke spoke up.

Regarding that Dark Sun Church, I don't know much about it.

I will prepare all the information on this for you. Aobuli nodded.

Anything else?

Aobuli continued asking.

Hmm... this is enough. Ta Ke thought and replied like that.

This time, Aobuli showed a slight smile.

Ta Ke!

This 16-year-old boy could, on his own, cultivate to level 9 in the Earth Nest District of the Lamoer High Tower City-State, and had accumulated a considerable amount of source energy, with his skills also being very formidable.

Moreover, he gathered the materials needed for promotion and completed his advancement.

Without a doubt, this boy gets along extremely well in the Earth Nest District.

If it weren't for the Evil God Organization wreaking havoc here.

I fear this boy would soon become the local tyrant of the Earth Nest District and even the Underground Street.

For such a 'Ta Ke' who has his own way of surviving.

Aobuli obviously had no intention of confining him within the tower.

After all, several of his apprentices had perished while out training and exploring.

If they had Ta Ke's level of experience—not even needing half of it—their chances of survival would be much higher.

Perhaps Ta Ke's methods are a bit wild, but they are quite useful.

Regarding Ta Ke's cultivation.

Aobuli knows exactly what to do.

To supplement his basic wizard knowledge, allowing him to develop freely.

Providing him with a certain amount of protection is enough.

Two hours later.

Ta Ke, who had chatted at length with Lord Aobuli.

Carrying many printed pamphlets, steam newspapers, and other 'materials'.

He returned to his own underground second-floor cottage.

I have to say, a big shot is a big shot.

His understanding of source energy, of wizardry, and even of supernatural ecology far exceeds my cognition.

Especially, the detailed explanations of spells like Sheep Transformation and Bullet Tentacle, although I didn't understand some parts, were greatly shocking.

After returning, Ta Ke immediately sat cross-legged in the corner of his room.

He began to carefully digest and absorb Lord Aobuli's explanations on the sequence, wizardry, source energy, and various other aspects.

The previous Ta Ke already possessed the wizard ability of Spirit Touch Perception.

Naturally, he was quicker to learn.

And the Ta Ke who came through the transmigration inherited all of this.

Furthermore, with the level of Spirit Touch Perception raised, Ta Ke's learning ability, comprehension, and digestive capacity surged even more.

About an hour and a bit later.

Ta Ke had digested most of Lord Aobuli's exposition on supernatural knowledge.

Understanding has improved considerably.

After feeling it over carefully, Ta Ke nodded with satisfaction.

He came to the desk and borrowed the house's magic crystal lamp.

Ta Ke began to look at the materials concerning the Dark Sun Church.

Dark Sun Church!

The Ashen Lands' foremost Evil God Church.

They worship the great 【Dark Sun】.

They wander in the darkness and shadows of the Ashen Lands.

They propagate the theory of the world's decadent end-times clamor.

The world is about to sink into eternal darkness, and the Dark Sun will rise in the sky, providing humanity with a new world.

Many city-states of the Ashen Lands have been completely submerged in the Dark Sun Church's doctrine, utterly becoming its followers, and then the city-states collapsed.

Even now.

Deep in the Ashen Lands, there still exist quite a few heretical city-states ruled by the Dark Sun Church.

This time, the Dark Sun Church dares to act so recklessly in the Lamoer High Tower City-State.

If you say there aren't enough believers in La Mo Er city-state, Ta Ke definitely wouldn't believe it.

Even......

Running to someone else's house, dragging them out and killing them, this kind of extremely impolite act.

It could very well have been done by those fanatical believers.

Having finished reading these pamphlets, newspaper information, and various other contents.

Ta Ke in front of the desk stood up, stretched his waist, and then pushed open the window.

The fresh air outside, filled with the aura of death, quickly cleared Ta Ke's mind considerably.

"Compared to the Evil God Church's deeds, these deathly auras and undead gray mist are so cute."

Ta Ke, rubbing his brow, focused his attention on that genius of the Dim Sun Church.

That guy is the starting point of the recent turmoil and upheaval in La Mo Er high tower city-state.

"He is suspected to be a genius with A-rank transcendent talent."

"And precisely because he possesses A-rank transcendent talent, he inherited the powerful foreign wizard sequence."

"Furthermore, he must use the Steam Core to complete the Steam Ascension."

"He himself has extremely high talent, a strong sequence; if he completes the Steam Ascension, wouldn't he just take off right there?"

Ta Ke let out a light sigh.

"A-rank transcendent talent? Interesting."

"Whether it's the Steam Core or not, it doesn't matter."

"Mainly, I want to contribute some strength to the safety of La Mo Er high tower city-state."

He pulled out a small "Ashen Clock" from the inner pocket of his wizard robe.

Only to see, the tiny needle had already passed the scale line symbolizing the "Ash Night Period" and "Ash Date".

Furthermore, it had already moved one small grid in the Ash Date region.

"Although it missed the sunrise of this Ashen Day."

"But...... the Ash Date has finally arrived."

"The surface ought to get lively now."

"Wait until we are proficient in the Sheep Transformation Technique and the Light-Shaping Spear before heading out; it's not too late."

Ashen Land.

"The 'Ash Date' and 'Ash Night Period' together make up roughly a month's time."

"Most of the time, each occupies half, about 15 days."

"Only at certain specific times does the Ash Day or Ash Night stretch toward 20 days, compressing the other's occurrence."

"And at this moment."

"The huge Ashen Day, on the eastern side, fully revealed its outline."

"The essence of the Ashen Day is deep and dark, like a huge black hole."

"Around the Ashen Day, the Ashen Light Halo bursts forth with red light."

"The Ashen Day illuminates the Ashen Land."

"But what is illuminated is also a bloody world."

"Coincidentally, a strand of exceptionally rich blood light."

"Fell upon Ta Ke, who had just crawled out of the tomb passage."

"He looked left and right, confirming no one was nearby."

"Ta Ke patted off the dust on his clothes, put on a gray hood, and walked toward the Ground Nest Area."

"At this moment, on the main road of La Mo Er city-state."

"Adventurers, mercenary groups, and merchants' troops, seen from afar, formed a long dragon."

"They came from the 'Sheng Lan De transcendent city-state' over a hundred li away."

"That is the heart of the 'An Mu province'."

"As a Sheng Lan De transcendent city-state with steam train tracks, it is extremely prosperous."

"It is said that when the steam machinery furnace runs at full power, resisting the 'Ashen Dark Tide'."

"The roaring and howling can be heard several tens of li away."

"And the 'La Mo Er high tower city-state' deep in the wilderness frontier is the forward base for Sheng Lan De adventurers, mercenaries, and merchants."

"With the arrival of large numbers of adventurers, mercenaries, and merchants,"

"The 'La Mo Er' high tower city-state, which had lain asleep in darkness for half a month, also officially awakened."
