Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

"A country of disorder..."

Russell muttered silently to himself, his expression extremely solemn.

If just a Sequence 2 angel escapes with the uniqueness of the 'Judge' path, although it will cause some trouble, it can still be dealt with.But once this matter involves the source of matter, its nature changes completely!
The trouble for the former lies in the process of finding someone, while the trouble for the latter stems from the 'country of disorder' itself.

The higher the sequence, the closer it is to the original, and the easier it is to be contaminated.

For example, when Extraordinaries are in low-sequence, as long as they strictly follow the acting method, there will be basically no impact.At mid-to-high sequences, acting alone is no longer enough to offset the risk of losing control, and ritual assistance is also needed.A two-pronged approach can still control the risk of loss of control to a low level.

Once you reach the level of an angel, you must begin to use faith to fight against 'divinity' and the original resurrection.

This is a step-by-step process, and it also reveals the fact that any Beyonder above Sequence 2 in any path may become the body of the original resurrection.

In normal times, they can use the power of faith to fight against the primitive being that has not yet fully recovered.But once they approach the source material rashly, the 'original' will be stimulated by the source material and revive at an extremely fast speed, even the gods are no exception!
The reason is very simple -

The higher the sequence, the closer to the original.

This sequence does not refer to extraordinary people, but to 'extraordinary characteristics'.The reason why an extraordinary person becomes the original resurrected body is because his body contains a sufficiently high sequence of extraordinary characteristics!
The sefirah is the 'Sequence-0' that is at the apex of all 'Extraordinary Characteristics' and is a higher level than Sequence 1.

So in a sense, the Sefirot itself is equivalent to a part of the original.

If the Beyonder is strong enough, reaches the level of Sequence 0, and has completely completed the digestion of Sequence 0 potions.Then He can indeed try to continue to accommodate the Sefirah. Although it needs to fight against the increasingly active original will in this process, it will not directly lose control.

In this way, He can use faith to gradually consume the original will in the Sefirot, thereby controlling the Sefirot.

However, if the level of the Extraordinary is not yet Sequence 0, or has just become Sequence 0, and has not yet completed the digestion of the potion, it is possible that it will be completely controlled by the original will in the source of matter.

In this regard, the 'original' treats all extraordinary beings equally, even the true gods.

This means that although the True God is extremely eager for the source of matter, he is also extremely afraid of it.

Therefore, the Lord of Steam is now busy digesting the uniqueness of the 'hermit' path. He may send the Church of Steam to search for relevant clues in the wilderness of knowledge, but he will never get close to this source of matter.Only when He digests the 'hermit' way will there be further attempts.

The same goes for the Goddess of Night. Her pressure is even greater than that of the Lord of Steam, because she needs to digest the uniqueness of the two paths of Death and War at the same time, so she will not be close to the River of Eternal Darkness during this period.

Another example is the True Creator. Thousands of years are enough for Him to complete the digestion of the magic potion.The location of the God's Abandoned Land is the area closest to the Sea of ​​Chaos.But even so, the True Creator did not rush to the Sea of ​​Chaos, nor did he try to accommodate and control the Sea of ​​Chaos, because He was very aware of the danger of the source of matter.

Even though the True Creator had obtained the 'First Blasphemy Slate' with the help of Ember, He still did not go directly to the Sea of ​​Chaos. Instead, he only used the 'First Blasphemy Slate' to indirectly call upon the power of the Sea of ​​Chaos for his own use.

In the final analysis, it was because he was not sure that he could completely suppress the resurgence of the original will while approaching the Sea of ​​Chaos.

Among all the sefirot, the relationship between 'Origin Castle' and Klein is the most special, bar none.

On the one hand, Klein's original destiny should have been to become a Sequence 1 angel as soon as he was 'born', and then immediately be possessed by the resurrected will of the 'Tianzun'.Immediately afterwards, the resurrected Tianzun will use the strength of Sequence 1 to call on the power of Source Castle, thereby taking back his authority step by step, first becoming the 'Fool' of Sequence 0, and then accommodating the 'Gate' pathway and the 'Error' pathway, and becoming the 'Mystery' again. host'.

In theory, the process should be incredibly smooth.

Because Tianzun is originally the master of Source Castle, and also the master of the extraordinary characteristics of the three paths corresponding to 'Source Castle'.Therefore, he does not need to 'digest' this process. As long as he obtains extraordinary characteristics, he can immediately transform them into his own strength.

Moreover, the 'Tianzun' can also use the 'Source Castle' to locate the location of other extraordinary characteristics, thereby omitting the process of investigation and search, and directly find Zaratul and half of the Antigonus family's 'Fool' in one step. The process won't take more than a day.

Become a fool in one day, spend another day hunting Amon, and become a dual-path true god.

Then on the third day, perform a ritual to summon Mr. Gate, hunt and obtain his extraordinary characteristics, and return to the past.

From Tianzun's resurrection to becoming the Lord of Mysteries, the entire process takes less than three days in total - of course, this is the most ideal state.

But in fact, even if Tianzun really recovers from the beginning, he will definitely encounter great resistance, because no existence will turn a blind eye to Tianzun's recovery.

Such as the goddess of the night.

Before that, Zaratul and half of the 'Fool' were imprisoned by the Night Goddess, and their extraordinary characteristics were in the possession of the Night Goddess.Whenever the 'Tianzun' really tries to take advantage of these two extraordinary characteristics, the goddess of the night will definitely stop it.

This is indeed the case, even the goddess of the night did it more thoroughly than other beings imagined!
From the very beginning, He separated Klein from the 'curtain' with Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristics, thereby destroying the chance of Tianzun's recovery.The curtain is a curtain, and Klein is Klein. Tianzun can no longer directly resuscitate from Klein's body, and this also leads to another result——

On the one hand, Tianzun failed to successfully resuscitate in Klein's body, and the plan was thwarted.

But on the other hand, Klein was indeed born from the 'Origin Castle', and the Heavenly Lord tried to resuscitate in his body. This led to Klein being recognized as the master of the 'Origin Castle' when he was reborn, and he owned the 'Origin Castle'. Control.

Although due to lack of strength, Klein was unable to completely control Source Castle. Initially, he could only use the gray mist that diffused around the 'Source Castle'.But this is completely enough for a low-sequence Beyonder.

After all, being able to possess a copy of the 'Origin' at Sequence 9, even before becoming an Extraordinary, is the only one in history!
This kind of experience is neither enviable nor replicable.

For other Beyonders, they can only rise from Sequence 9 to Sequence 0 honestly, and then they can try to contact and accommodate the sefirah.

But the current Russell obviously does not meet this condition.

He is not the Black Emperor yet, just an ordinary 'Prince Killer'.

Therefore, even if he has learned about the defense of the 'Country of Disorder', he does not dare to go there rashly.Otherwise, with his current strength that cannot even reach Sequence 0, approaching the 'Country of Disorder' will only be controlled by the remaining original will within it.

But in this way, it would be almost impossible for Russell to obtain the uniqueness of '0-02', the judge's path.

As for whether what the Earth Mother God said was true, Russell had no doubt at all.

Even though the Church of the Night has completely taken over the Church of the God of War, when it comes to understanding the Church of the God of War, the Church of the Mother Goddess of the Earth is definitely above the Church of the Night!After all, how long has it been since the Church of the Night took over the Church of God of War?Less than half a month!In the past thousands of years, the Church of the Mother Earth and the Church of the God of War have maintained a good relationship.After all, the Mother Goddess of Earth has been pretending to be His mother, the God of War, and the God of War has always thought that this was His mother.Therefore, during the Oath-breaking War, the God of War stood firmly on the side of the Earth Mother Goddess.

Under such circumstances, it is normal for both parties to exchange information on each other, which of course includes the sealed artifacts each holds.

"Tsk!"

Russell secretly said something unlucky in his heart, thinking that his luck would improve after his resurrection.But now it seems that luck is still as bad as ever... I was tricked by Zaratul in the first half of my life, and in the second half of my life I was tricked by Mr. Gate, the Steam Church, and the Twilight Hermits one after another. Finally, I was tricked on the moon, setting the record for the shortest life span. The two world records of "Angel" and "The Fastest Falling True God" - from becoming an angel to falling, it took less than 20 years.

Now it is finally resurrected. I thought I could become bigger and stronger and create greater glory, but it got stuck at the first step.

How presumptuous!
Russell was muttering inwardly, but his face remained calm, with a somewhat serious expression.

Without him, practice, don’t cue.

Seeing that Russell seemed to have no other needs, Saint Irina said softly:
"The goddess needs a drop of water from the river of eternal darkness."

Ember thought for a while and asked:

"Where is the River of Eternal Darkness?"

"Calderon." Irina's answer was simple and straightforward.

Klein's eyes moved slightly because he had been to Calderon before!
When he was promoted to Sequence 4, 'Trickster Mage', the two main materials he needed to prepare the potion were the main eye of the trickster monster, and the other was the true soul of the spiritual world predator.

The former is obtained with the help of the 'Sun', while creatures such as spiritual predators live deep in the spiritual world, are rare in number, and are difficult to find.

According to the information that Klein learned from various aspects, there is only one place where there are definite traces of their activities, and that is Calderon City in the spirit world.

Therefore, Klein personally went to Calderon deep in the spiritual world to hunt spiritual predators.

Irina explained in detail:

"The name Calderon comes from the angel who first entered the Abraham family, which means unknown soul in the language of the dead. Its former name was the City of the Dead, and it was the land of the ancestor of the phoenix, Gray Carrie. Kingdom of God.”

"Since He opened up the underworld, His Kingdom of God has been transferred there, and the City of the Dead has gradually become a holy place for His descendants and believers. And before Gray Carrie was severely injured and broken by the ancient sun god, He uprooted the city, Thrown into the depths of the spiritual world.”

'The Fool' Klein considered and asked:

"Why is the River of Eternal Darkness in Calderon?"

Irina explained softly:
"Because as early as the Second Age, the River of Eternal Darkness had already created a tributary under Calderon through Gray Carrie. Once the River of Eternal Darkness escapes from trouble, it will be attracted by this tributary and go to the location of the tributary. area and blend into it.”

Klein showed a look of understanding and fear at the same time. Doesn't this mean that he once danced on the head of the River of Eternal Darkness?
At that time, he was only Sequence 5. If he went deep into Calderon in order to hunt spiritual world predators, he would probably come into direct contact with this source material, and the consequences would be disastrous!
Klein fell into deep thought. As the master of the 'Origin Castle', he was probably the only person with a higher sequence who could resist the pollution of other sources.Among the people present, no one is more suitable to complete this task than him, so it is safest and has the highest success rate for him to go to Calderon.

But in fact, there is someone more suitable for this task than him.

Ember slowly opened the mouth and said:

"I'll go."

"Just a drop of river water?"

"Ah."

Irina nodded gently and said warmly:
"The goddess's state is not yet able to completely digest the entire river. For the time being, she only needs a drop of river water as a medium."

After saying that, Irina took out ancient ornaments one by one from the endless darkness around her, placed them on the long mottled table, and added:
"This item can be used to carry the water of the 'River of Eternal Darkness'."

This ornament seems to be made of gold, shaped like a slender bird, surrounded by pale flame wings, and the bronze eyes are shining with layers of light, as if hiding one after another illusory door.

Klein looked carefully at the bird-shaped gold jewelry.

This looks like the image of Gray Carrie, the legendary ancestor of the phoenix. There should be a certain connection with the real Gray Carrie, and even a certain connection with the River of Eternal Darkness. Otherwise, it would not be able to carry the 'River of Eternal Darkness'. ' medium.

According to Klein's understanding, the ancient god, the ancestor of the Phoenix, once had the authority over the 'God of Death' and the 'Gate' pathway, but it should not be the complete 'Gate' pathway, but only partial authority.

Accommodating two non-adjacent pathways at the same time is almost a model of suicide in the eyes of today's people.

But in the Second Age, this situation was all too common.

After all, before the first 'Profane Slate' appeared, all extraordinary creatures had no concept of sequence path, only the instinct of aggregation, reproduction and blind attempts.And perhaps it was precisely because of the high-sequence 'spirit world travel' ability of the 'Death' pathway that Gray Carrie tried to integrate the 'Gate' pathway, which also had the 'spirit world travel' ability.

But this did not enhance his strength. Instead, he became easily out of control, constantly wandering between madness and reason.

Almost all the eight ancient gods are like this, the only exception is probably Lilith, the ancestor of the blood race.

Because according to various ancient records, the Vampires are the most rational among all the extraordinary races in the Second Age, and Lilith, the ancestor of the Vampires, is also the strongest and can even fight one against two without losing.

Thinking of this, Klein secretly looked at the Earth Mother Goddess Lilith.

The reason why the other party can avoid absorbing the extraordinary characteristics of other pathways is obviously because he has a certain understanding of 'pathways' and 'sequences'. (End of chapter)
