Chapter 21

I never expected that personally witnessing Klein begin to walk the Fool's fate would actually have such a great impact on me.

After accommodating Fuxi's status, I now seem to have a somewhat close connection with concepts like time, space, and fate.

Thoughts turning in his mind, Feng Yi watched Klein before him, who had no idea what the title 'Fool' meant, as if he saw Klein steadily climbing upward on a future branch with a definite endpoint, step by step.

In his mind arose the experiences of this Fool from the original work, combined with a faint glimpse of the future he observed just now, and Feng Yi's heart involuntarily gave rise to a sense of inexplicable feeling.

At the same time, he subconsciously clasped his hands slightly toward Klein, as if seeing an old familiar friend, and his tone inexplicably said: 'Greetings, Your Excellency the Fool!'

A calm voice with a hint of distance sounded from Feng Yi's mouth, causing the other three present to involuntarily startle.

Originally still immersed in the mysterious and strange title 'Fool', feeling that this title was fitting for bringing themselves and others here without any resistance by the mysterious existence, Audrey and Alger also subconsciously turned their gaze to the source of the voice.

Regarding this mysterious man who seemed to have come here together with them but remained calm, simply staying quietly there, not only Klein, but Audrey and Alger had also been secretly paying attention to him.

However, this figure seemed indifferent to everything, like an outsider, so the two did not dare to disturb him directly.

Moreover, Klein needed to maintain his dignity, fearing that others would expose his actually weak nature, making it even less likely for him to speak up proactively.

Now hearing the other's greeting, Klein, although unaware why, couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart.

'It's good that he spoke up; now that he spoke, I can secretly observe and consider how to deceive him.'

'However, what's special about the title Fool? From his tone, it seems he understands this title.'

With thoughts turning in his mind, although he was extremely curious, Klein still maintained a casual attitude and slightly nodded at Feng Yi.

Sir!

After a moment, a clear voice sounded; Audrey looked at Feng Yi with some curiosity and said: 'Have you heard of Mr. Fool's title before?'

Not only Klein, but Audrey and Alger also heard that this mysterious man's tone seemed very familiar with the title Fool.

Upon hearing Audrey's question, although Klein outwardly remained a mysterious and casual attitude, seeming not to care at all, inside he instantly focused his spirit and gave her a thumbs-up, thinking: 'Good question, miss noble, I also want to know.'

Beside him, Alger likewise turned his gaze to Feng Yi, his eyes carrying a hint of inquisitiveness.

Having glanced at Audrey, his peripheral vision sweeping over Klein and Alger, Feng Yi, having digested his Spectator potion through observing their interaction, which also created some karmic link with them, had no intention to hide anything and spoke calmly: 'The Fool is Sequence 0 of the Diviner pathway, just as Sequence 0 of the Mariner pathway is the Tyrant; of course, you may not be familiar with this title, but He also has a name known to the world: Lord of Storms!'

Saying this, Feng Yi casually glanced at Alger, causing his whole body to feel like struck by lightning, and he froze directly.

'Lord of Storms, head of the Storm Church, one of the Seven Orthodox Gods.'

At this moment, Alger seemed to have completely lost his ability to think, for his true identity was precisely a follower of the Storm Church.

At this moment, his heart surged with towering waves, countless thoughts flooding his mind.

'Lord of Storms is Sequence 0 of the Mariner pathway? Tyrant?'

'If that's the case, Sequence 0 represents a True God!'

'Sequence 1 is actually not the pinnacle of the Extraordinary Sequence.'

'This is absolutely crazy!'

'Twenty-two Extraordinary Sequences, wouldn't that represent twenty-two divine pathways?'

'As long as one takes the corresponding Sequence potion, even mortals can gradually become gods?'

'No wonder the rumors say that after Emperor Rosel looked at the Blasphemous Slate, he made twenty-two cards containing the divine pathways; perhaps these Blasphemous Cards fully record all the secrets of the twenty-two Extraordinary Sequences!'

'Indeed, it is blasphemy, blasphemy against the True God.'

'No wonder.'

Countless thoughts surged, completely uncontrollable; many of Alger's doubts were resolved in this instant, and he understood many things he previously couldn't figure out.

At the same time, he couldn't help but direct his gaze toward the mysterious man before him, his eyes filled with an indescribable curiosity.

Who exactly is this mysterious man? He actually knows the secrets of the divine pathways and the True God.

Moreover, this mysterious man certainly saw that I am an Extraordinary of the Mariner pathway, and possibly even that I am a member of the Storm Church; otherwise he would not have used Lord of Storms as an example.

Unlike the deep-thinking Alger, upon hearing Feng Yi's words, Audrey first startled, then directly exclaimed: 'Sequence 0? Lord of Storms? Sequence 0 is a True God? If so, the Seven Gods'

'That's right.'

Nodding his head, Feng Yi said calmly: 'The Goddess of Night is Sequence 0 Darkness of the Insomniac pathway; the God of Steam and Machinery is Sequence 0 Perfection of the Scholar pathway; the Earth Mother is Sequence 0 Mother of the Cultivator pathway; the God of Knowledge and Wisdom is Sequence 0 White Tower of the Reader pathway; the Eternal Blazing Sun is Sequence 0 Sun of the Bard pathway; the God of War is Sequence 0 Twilight Giant of the Warrior pathway.'

The entire hall fell silent, only Feng Yi's calm and distant voice sounded, revealing the secrets of high Sequences in this world.

His voice was not loud, yet it seemed like thunderclaps, echoing in the hearts of Audrey and Alger, making them feel their minds and spirits violently tremble, as if the worldview they had built since childhood were about to shatter.

As believers of the Goddess of Night and the Lord of Storms respectively, Audrey and Alger even felt a sense of guilt for blaspheming their own deities.

Yet deep within that sense of guilt, both also felt an indescribable taboo and excitement.

It turns out that a True God is nothing more than a powerful Extraordinary, merely a stronger being of higher Sequence!

Compared to the two, Klein's heart didn't have such a strong reaction; instead, he listened with great interest, merely treating it as an interesting story.

As a 'transmigrator', he considered himself, having just arrived in this world, with the worldview formed in modern society, he inherently had no reverence for deities.

In his mind, so-called deities are merely powerful living beings, with nothing worthy of reverence!

If there's benefit, believe; if not, forget it.

Now, having heard the secrets of this world's so-called Seven Gods, Klein merely felt it was reasonable.

Perhaps this is also why, in the original work, he could shear the wool of all major True Gods without any psychological burden!

'Don't be too surprised!'

Having glanced at Audrey and Alger, Feng Yi spoke calmly: 'Now, isn't there a True God standing right before us?'

As the one chosen by the Heavenly Venerable, the master of the Source Castle, future Klein will surely become a True God, even reaching the position of the Old Ones; what Feng Yi said is not wrong.

True God!

Exactly!

Audrey and Alger reacted simultaneously; according to what this mysterious man said, the Fool is Sequence 0 of the Diviner pathway, a divine being on par with the Seven Gods.

Moreover, Mr. Fool himself did not refute what this mysterious man said, which can be taken as tacit acceptance of this statement.

In this world where extraordinary powers exist, the title of True God is not something just anyone can casually bear.

So saying, is Mr. Fool truly a True God?

They never would have imagined that they thought the mysterious and powerful Mr. Fool was merely a novice who hasn't truly set foot in the extraordinary world—a newborn calf that fears no tiger—and utterly unaware of how terrifying a true god's name is.

Thinking this, Aodaili and Aerge hurriedly and anxiously bowed to Kelaien, not daring to look directly at him, and respectfully said, "Greetings, Mr. Fool!"

Meanwhile, the two grew ever more curious in their hearts about this mysterious man who had spoken the secret of the gods' path.

Not only did they clearly understand the secrets of the spirits, but their attitude toward Mr. Fool, who seemed to be a true god, also appeared very casual.

In this world, there is a saying that almost everyone knows: "Do not gaze upon a god!"

From this saying, one can also see the supremacy of the spirits.

Only beings of the same level could possibly be so casual when facing Mr. Fool, who is a true god; could He also be a true god?

Thinking this, Aodaili and Aerge couldn't help but feel their hearts tremble.

I never imagined I might actually have seen two true gods today!
