I am a Taoist priest in the extraordinary world

Chapter 9 Special Job Extraordinary System and Gods (Setting Chapter)

Leon, who got the answer, didn't look surprised. He nodded and continued to ask:

"Then, what kind of actions, or rituals, did you do at that time?"

"No."

Dante decisively chose to deny.

The Taoism I have learned is related to my biggest secret, and I must not reveal a little bit of information.

"That is to say, you inadvertently activated the induction with the ether world, and then the guidance in the dark told you to come to me?"

Leon thought for a moment, paused his fingers, and calmly looked at the young man in front of him with his blue eyes.

Dante was stared at by these eyes, and felt a little panic inexplicably. He bent the ring finger of his left hand, pressed his thumb on it, and squeezed a calm hand, which made him feel a lot better.

This little gesture went unnoticed.

"I think so, because at that time I was very flustered and scared, and I couldn't help but think wildly when I sat there, until I suddenly felt what you called the ether world?"

God knows what that is, I just recited the Mantra of Purifying Mind and made a hexagram
Danding paused, and continued:
"Then I suddenly felt enlightened, so I called you."

Leon nodded, as if he had received the final confirmation. Immediately afterwards, his eyes became a little strange, mixed with complex emotions such as affirmation, envy, regret, and indeed.

Dante was a little dazed. This look gave him the feeling that you won the 500 million lottery with great difficulty, only to be told by the attending physician that you would not live for three days.

"you are"

"I told you before that if you touch forbidden objects without dying, you will have something different from ordinary people."

Dante nodded, indicating that he was listening carefully.

"Joseph should have told you the specific reason. When the human body and the etheric world sense something, they naturally have the ability to use ether. This is extraordinary power."

The way Lyon talked about it was like a university professor who was preaching and teaching. He said:
"Sounds good, right?"

"But in fact, there are not a few cases of destruction every year due to the loss of control of one's own extraordinary power."

What a joke, it sounds like having extraordinary power is not a good thing.

Dante's pupils widened, and he was stunned for a while, a little unbelievable.

"This is because there is a limit to the amount of etheric energy that the human body can withstand. If there is no gradual development of itself, and too much is used blindly, it will lead to a terrible end."

"Such as direct death?" Dante asked curiously.

"Direct death is often the luckiest kind, but compared to this, the most terrifying loss of control is the mental state of madness and confusion."

Lyon stood up, took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet next to the desk, opened the cork and poured it into the decanter, took out two goblets, and put them on the table.

"Once out of control happens, it is doomed to be an irreversible process. Just imagine, a normal person who looks sober and rational ends up killing his parents, lover, and children with a grinning smile, and begins to eat their flesh and blood raw, and enjoys it .”

When Leon said these words, his body leaned forward slightly, he stared at Dante who was a little creepy, and said slowly:
"Isn't this the scariest thing for those around him?"

"Is there any way for Officer Ang to prevent this from happening?"

"Yes, the best way is to pray that you will be an ordinary person in this life."

"."

Dante suddenly felt a little tired.

"Using extraordinary power, essentially resonating with the etheric realm, transforming the power of the ether into some kind of supernatural 'phenomenon',
For example, the improvement of speed and strength, the improvement of mental power, the mastery of elemental substances, etc. "

"For Extraordinary people, the Extraordinary power obtained by each person will manifest into different types of abilities or phenomena. This is the common knowledge of all mystic schools."

Leon didn't care how cold his cold humor was just now, he moved the corners of his mouth and continued to narrate:
"However, since the abilities of Extraordinary people are often varied, in order to facilitate the distinction, after intense discussions among scholars of all ages, a generally accepted statement has gradually been formed."

"That's right, special post."

"Special job?" Dante felt even more confused.

Leon nodded, poured the red wine from the decanter into the glass, took a sip and said:

"The Rachel red wine originating from the Tulus Mountains is delicious, try it."

"Thank you, this is a high-end product."

Dante gave a polite compliment, picked up the cup, and drank like the other party.

The taste is indeed good, but at this time he is more concerned about the topic of Beyonders.

"The extraordinary's ability to awaken is often related to his past experience, character, identity and even bloodlines.
Although scholars have not yet concluded the reason for this, it does not affect people's ability to use and master it better. "

"For example, Joseph, his current professional job is a fighter, because he used to grow up in a family of boxers. After sensing the etheric world, his ability is related to this."

"Another example is the church personnel of the Twelve Orthodox Gods. The professional system they follow is unique to the church. If their beliefs are not devout enough, they have no chance at all."

The Twelve Gods are the twelve gods that have always been recognized in the Western Continent. They correspond to the twelve months respectively. There are very many believers in various countries, and Dante knows this.

But the unsmiling police officer Joseph turned out to be a professional fighter, which didn't match his image.

"Whether it's church personnel or other Extraordinary, each special position has its own promotion system,

When Extraordinary people continue to understand the purest [essence] of this special job, their sensitivity to the etheric world will become stronger, and when it accumulates to a critical value, with the help of formations, he will be promoted to the next level and master more With so much extraordinary power, it will also correspond to different titles from now on. "

Lyon was shaking the red wine glass, opening a door to a new world for Dante little by little.

"Essence. You mean, for example, Joseph's special job is now a fighter, and he may not be in the future?" Dante asked curiously.

"That's right, when his understanding of fighters has reached its peak, he can sense the etheric world more strongly, and then use the formations arranged in a specific way, he will be promoted to the next level of fighting master, and he will master more about fighting. skills and abilities.”

What an unpretentious title. Dante complained in his heart.

It seems that the path to promotion for an Extraordinary is to achieve the ultimate in a certain professional system step by step.

Reminiscent of the Taoism he had learned since he was a child, he began to think about what this system should be called in this world and how to improve it.

So, he asked: "Then how do you judge whether you have reached the threshold for promotion? Is there a fixed standard?"

"Do you think you can accurately measure the clarity of water?" Leon said slowly.

"Judging by the chromaticity, turbidity, smell and taste of the water quality, generally speaking, the chromaticity of urban drinking water often does not exceed 15 degrees." Dante blurted out without thinking.

"."

Leon opened his mouth slightly, but said nothing.

Dante felt a little regretful, and realized that this answer was a bit out of line.

The world seems to have no criteria for judging this aspect
"Ahem." Leon covered his mouth with his hand, coughed twice, and said with a smile, "It seems that your knowledge reserve is indeed very rich."

"There is no way to accurately determine the critical value. Since it is necessary to comprehend the [Essence], there is naturally no way to measure it in the form of a numerical value or a standard."

"Even though each special position basically has valuable experience left by its predecessors, it is one thing to learn it, and another thing to do it yourself."

"It's like going to school. Some people can easily enter the best Yeleton University in the Federation, while some people can only finish middle school and go home."

Leon teased a little, pulled the corners of his mouth, and continued:

"So every Extraordinary is constantly accumulating professional insights, mastering more methods suitable for him to use the ether, so as to better sense the existence of the ether world, and thereby obtain opportunities for promotion. The methods are different, and others It's hard to reference."

"The only standard of combat effectiveness that can be judged is based on how much ether a Extraordinary can reserve or use without losing control,

However, due to the differences in each special job system and individual talents, this standard is often not accurate enough. "

Dante nodded and said:
"Is that understandable that even a Beyonder who has been promoted many times may lose in battle to a new Beyonder with higher talent than him and a better special job system?"

"Theoretically, this is the case, but generally such extreme situations do not occur,

After all, the total amount of ether reserved by the Extraordinary is placed there, and there is no such a huge difference between the systems."

After saying this, Leon seemed to think of something, and added:
"However, when the level of the special post is lower, there will still be such a phenomenon that the higher level loses to the lower level."

Dante gradually understood that if the human body was compared to a bucket, the high-level Extraordinary stored ether in tons, while the low-level ones stored ether in pounds or ounces.

Even if the materials of the buckets are different, the total amount remains the same, and the range that can receive the induction ether is also different.

"Then what is the highest level in the current special job system?"

"Nine is the highest level of special duties that human beings can achieve as recorded in the history of ether."

Leon's expression became serious: "But this is actually not the end of extraordinary power."

not the end
Dante was stunned, slightly dazed.

For the first time, Leon's blue eyes were not so calm, and he said word by word:

"The real end is the gods."

God
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar word, the first thought in Dante's mind was the Taoist Sanqing and righteous gods.

Immediately, he realized that the lineage of gods in this world is completely different from that of the earth.

He asked, "You mean the Twelve Righteous Gods?"

"No, it also includes the evil gods judged by the orthodox church, as well as the wild gods believed by many primitive tribes."

Dante searched quickly in his memory. "I" once took a theology course in college in order to establish a good relationship with a girl from the history department. The textbook once mentioned the evil gods and savage gods mentioned by Leon.

The Western Continent has a vast territory, and there are dozens of countries, large and small, all over it, each with a different culture and history.

The Heissant Federation where they belong, became one of the few powerful countries in the Western Continent decades ago because of the success of the institutional revolution.

But even so, in some of the more remote areas of the Federation, there are still many primitive tribes who believe in their own gods.

Regarding this kind of religious belief, the attitude of the federal government has always been very ambiguous.

The orthodox church that believes in the Twelve Orthodox Gods has always been contemptuous of such small gods, but has a strict control attitude.

In the past, the gods believed by many tribes were judged to be evil gods, and their areas were slaughtered in the name of "showing the glory of the gods".

In the history of this era in the Western Continent, it was called the War of Purifying Gods.

The gods of the few tribes that escaped in the war that year were also labeled as barbaric gods.

According to the language on the earth, it is "backward, weak branch god".

"You should know the history of the gods. For ordinary people, they are legends and myths that remain in words, but for extraordinary people, they are real facts."

Lyon drank the red wine in the glass and said slowly:

"The gods are the real high-dimensional life in the ether world. Their life dimension has far exceeded the limit and imagination of human beings."

"The Extraordinary of the church, they firmly believe that the ether power they use comes from the gift and guidance of the gods,
This is also one of the reasons why more and more people choose to believe in religion now that the industry has developed rapidly. "

"But in the eyes of scholars, the power of the gods cannot be touched and borrowed.
Because as high-dimensional beings, the gods themselves are extremely dangerous,

It's not because they have any malice towards human beings, but because their dimensions are too high, and if they directly contact any information related to God, they may fall into madness, let alone try to borrow the power of God. "

Leon poured himself another glass, shaking the goblet gently.

"This is not alarmist. Even if the orthodox church's special staff has a fairly mature protection mechanism, one fifth of Extraordinary people will still lose control due to various reasons every year.

Although the church has been covering up this fact, almost everyone knows what is going on. "

"So from this point of view, the power of the special personnel of the church system is essentially the same as that of the non-church system, and it is nothing more than a difference in the form of display."

Dante quietly listened to Leon's narration, thinking about the situation he had sensed when he chanted the spell in his mind.

The mantra of purifying the mind is to pray to the moral deity in the Sanqing, asking for corresponding energy and help to the recitation.

Did I sense a certain god in this world by chanting mantras by mistake?
But according to Leon, direct contact with God's message will bring extremely dire consequences
But what I clearly felt was a very comfortable and warm power.
Could it be that.
In this world, can I actually sense the existence of Sanqing and Taoist righteous gods? !

After all, the Taoist priests on the earth have never heard of anyone who became more crazy as he practiced Taoism.
And according to this idea, if the ether world is the place where gods exist, then can I try to return to the earth in the future through the path of becoming a god? !
Does this mean that in the future, there is actually a possibility of returning home? !

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, considered his words, and asked, "Church people, can their promotion system become gods?"

Leon shook his head and replied with certainty: "Impossible."

Dante was stunned for a moment: "Why?"

"Because the life dimension of human beings simply cannot accommodate such a majestic and huge ether energy, which will only lead to the most complete loss of control and destruction."

"Dante, listen, the gods are the end of extraordinary power, but they are by no means a domain that humans can covet."

"Even the ninth-level Extraordinary that existed in history can barely reach the level of a demigod.

And this so-called demigod is nothing more than an arrogant human being who is against the weakest savage god! "

In Leon's blue eyes, there was an extremely complicated expression. He stared at the young man in front of him who was in a certain mood, and said seriously:

"You have to remember that human beings may not believe in God, but they must fear God, let alone dream of becoming God."
