Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

"The country of disorder..."

Russell muttered silently to himself, his expression extremely solemn.

If it was just a Sequence 2 angel escaping with the uniqueness of the Judge path, it would cause some trouble, but it could still be handled. But once the matter involved the Essence, the nature of it would change completely!
The trouble with the former lies in the process of finding people, while the trouble with the latter comes 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 a Beyonder is at a low sequence, as long as he strictly follows the role-playing method, there will be basically no impact. However, at a mid-to-high sequence, the role-playing method alone is not enough to offset the risk of losing control, and the ritual must be added to assist. With both methods, the risk of losing control can still be kept at a low level.

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

This is a gradual process, and it also reveals a fact, that is, any extraordinary person with a sequence of 2 or above in any path has the potential to become the body of the original resurrection.

Normally, they can use the power of faith to fight against the original that has not yet fully recovered. But once they rashly approach the source, the original will be stimulated by the source and recover at a very fast speed, even the gods are no exception!
The reason is also very simple——

The higher the sequence, the closer it is to the original.

This sequence does not refer to Extraordinary people, but to "Extraordinary characteristics". The reason why Extraordinary people become the original resurrected bodies is because they contain Extraordinary characteristics of a high enough sequence in their bodies!
The source substance is the 'Sequence -0' which is at the top of all 'Extraordinary Characteristics' and is higher than Sequence 1.

So in a sense, the source itself is equivalent to a part of the origin.

If the Beyonder is strong enough to reach the level of Sequence 0, and has completely digested the Sequence 0 potion, then He can indeed try to continue to contain the Essence. Although this process requires fighting against the increasingly active Primordial Will, it will not lead to a direct loss of control.

In this way, He can use faith to gradually erode the original will in the source substance and thus control the source substance.

However, if the Beyonder's level is lower than Sequence 0, or if they have just become Sequence 0 and have not yet finished digesting the potion, then they may be completely controlled by the original will in the Essence.

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

This means that although the true God is extremely eager for the source essence, he is also extremely wary of it.

Therefore, the Lord of Steam is now busy digesting the uniqueness of the Hermit Path. He may send the Steam Church to search for clues about the Wilderness of Knowledge, but he will never get close to this source. Only after he digests the Hermit Path will he make further attempts.

The same goes for the Goddess of Night. She is under even greater pressure than 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 get close to the River of Eternal Darkness during this period.

For example, the True Creator had thousands of years to digest the magic potion. The location of the God-Forsaken Land was the closest area to the Chaos Sea. But even so, the True Creator did not rush to the Chaos Sea, nor did he try to contain and control the Chaos Sea, because he was very clear about the dangers of the source.

Even though the true Creator had obtained the 'First Blasphemous Tablet' with the help of the Embers, He still did not go directly to the Chaos Sea. Instead, He only used the 'First Blasphemous Tablet' to indirectly call upon the power of the Chaos Sea for His own use.

After all, it was because he was not sure that he could completely suppress the revival of the original will while approaching the Chaos Sea.

Among all the source substances, the relationship between 'Source Castle' and Klein is the most special, without a doubt.

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 be immediately occupied by the revived will of the "Celestial Lord". Then, the revived Celestial Lord would call upon the power of Sequence Fort with the strength of Sequence 1, and thus gradually take back the authority, first becoming a Sequence 0 "Fool", and then accommodating the "Gate" path and the "Error" path, and once again becoming the "Lord of Mysteries".

In theory, this process should go very smoothly.

Because Tianzun is the master of Sefirah Castle, and the master of the three paths of extraordinary characteristics of Sefirah Castle, so He does not need to "digest" the process, as long as He obtains the extraordinary characteristics, He can immediately transform them into His own strength.

Moreover, the 'Tianzun' can also use the 'Source Castle' to locate the positions of other extraordinary characteristics, thereby omitting the process of investigation and search, and directly finding Zaratul and half of the 'Fool' of the Antigonus family in one step. The whole process will not take more than a day.

Become the Fool in one day, then spend another day hunting Amon to become a dual-path true god.

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

From the resurrection of the Heavenly Venerate to becoming the Lord of Mysteries, the entire process only takes less than three days in total - of course, this is the most ideal situation.

But in fact, even if Tianzun had really revived at the beginning, he would inevitably encounter great resistance, because no existence would turn a blind eye to Tianzun's revival.

For example, the goddess of night.

Before this, Zaratul and half of the Fool were imprisoned by the Goddess of Night, and their extraordinary characteristics were all in the hands of the Goddess of Night. If the "Tianzun" really tried to take action on these two extraordinary characteristics, the Goddess of Night would definitely stop him.

This is indeed the case, and what the Goddess of Night did was even more thorough than other beings could imagine!
He separated Klein from the "curtain" that possessed the Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics from the very beginning, in order to destroy the chance of Tianzun's revival. The curtain was the curtain, and Klein was Klein. Tianzun could no longer be revived directly from Klein's body, and this also led to another result -

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

But on the other hand, Klein was indeed born from Sefirah Castle, and the fact that Tianzun tried to revive him in his body led to Klein being recognized as the master of Sefirah Castle when he was reborn, giving him control over Sefirah Castle.

Although Klein was unable to fully control Sefirah Castle due to his lack of strength, and could only use the gray fog that diffused around Sefirah Castle at first, this was more than enough for a low-sequence Beyonder.

After all, there is only one person in history who can possess a portion of "Source Essence" at Sequence 9, or even before becoming a Beyonder!
This experience cannot be envied or replicated.

For other Beyonders, they can only honestly upgrade from Sequence 9 to Sequence 0 before they can try to contact and contain the source substance.

But the current Russell obviously does not meet this condition.

He is not yet the Black Emperor, but just an ordinary 'Prince of Order'.

Therefore, even though he had learned about the defenses of the 'Land of Disorder', he did not dare to go there rashly. Otherwise, with his current strength that was not even at Sequence 0, if he approached the 'Land of Disorder', he would only be controlled by the remaining original will in it.

But in this way, it would be almost impossible for Roselle to obtain the uniqueness of the Judge Path '0-02'.

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

Even though the Church of the Night has completely taken over the Church of the God of War, the Church of the Earth Mother is definitely better than the Church of the Night when it comes to understanding the Church of the God of War! After all, how long has the Church of the Night taken over the Church of the God of War? Less than half a month! In the past thousands of years, the Church of the Earth Mother and the Church of the God of War have always maintained a good relationship. After all, the Earth Mother has always pretended to be the mother of the God of War, and the God of War has always believed that this is his mother. So during the war of breaking the oath, the God of War stood firmly on the side of the Earth Mother.

In this situation, it is normal for both parties to share their intelligence, which of course includes the sealed objects they each hold.

"Tsk!"

Roselle cursed in his heart. He thought his luck had improved after his resurrection. But now it seems that his luck is still as bad as before... He was tricked by Zaratul in the first half of his life, and tricked by Mr. Men, the Steam Church, and the Dusk Hermits one after another in the second half of his life. In the end, he was tricked to the moon and set two world records: "Angel with the Shortest Lifespan" and "True God with the Fastest Fall" - from becoming an angel to falling, it took less than twenty years.

Now that we have finally been revived, we thought we could expand and become stronger and create greater glory, but we got stuck at the first step.

How presumptuous!
Russell was worried inside, but he remained calm on the surface and just put on a serious expression.

There is no other reason, just practice, don’t cue.

Seeing that Roselle didn't seem to have any other needs, Saint Irina said softly:
"The goddess needs a drop of water from the River of Everlasting Darkness."

Yu Jin thought for a moment and asked:

"Where is the River of Everlasting 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’, the two main ingredients he needed to mix potions were the main eye of the trickster and the real soul of the spirit world plunderer.

The former is obtained with the help of the 'Sun', while the Spirit World Predators are creatures that live deep in the spirit world, are rare in number, and are difficult to find.

According to the information Klein had learned from various sources, there was only one place where there were definite traces of their activities, and that was the city of Calderon in the spiritual world.

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

Irina explained in detail:

"The name Calderon comes from the first angel from the Abraham family who entered. In the language of the dead, it means an unknown soul. Its former name was the City of the Dead, the kingdom of God on earth of Graygari, the ancestor of the Phoenix."

"Ever since He opened up the underworld, His kingdom of God has moved there, and the City of the Dead has gradually become a holy place for His descendants and believers. Before Graygari was severely damaged and shattered by the ancient sun god, He uprooted this city and threw it deep into the spirit world."

Klein the Fool asked carefully:

"Why is the River of Everdarkness in Calderon?"

Irina explained in a gentle tone:
"Because as early as the Second Age, the River of Everlasting Darkness had already nurtured a tributary under Calderon through Graygari. Once the River of Everlasting Darkness escapes, it will be attracted by this tributary and go to the area where the tributary is located and merge with it."

Klein showed a look of understanding, but at the same time he felt a little scared. Doesn't this mean that he once danced on top of the River of Eternal Darkness?
At that time, he was only Sequence 5. If he had gone deep into Calderon to hunt spirit world predators, he would have come into direct contact with this source, and the consequences would have been disastrous!
Klein fell into deep thought. As the master of Sefirah Castle, he was probably the only one with a high Sequence and able to resist other Sefirah pollution. Among those present, no one was more suitable for this mission than him, so it was the safest and most successful option for him to go to Calderon.

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

Yu Jin slowly said:

"I'll go."

"Just one drop of river water?"

"Ah."

Irina nodded slightly and said softly:
"The goddess is not yet in a state where she can fully digest the entire river. For now, she only needs a drop of river water as a medium."

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

This ornament seemed to be made of gold, shaped like a slender bird, surrounded by wings made of pale flames, and layers of light flashed in its bronze eyeballs, as if hiding one illusory door after another.

Klein looked carefully at the bird-shaped gold ornament.

This looks like the image of the legendary phoenix ancestor Greycarrie. It should have some connection with the real Greycarrie, or even with the River of Everlasting Darkness. Otherwise, it cannot serve as a medium for carrying the 'River of Everlasting Darkness'.

According to Klein's understanding, the ancient god Phoenix Ancestor once held the authority of the 'God of Death' and the 'Gate' paths, but it should not be the complete 'Gate' path, he only had partial authority.

To accommodate two non-adjacent pathways at the same time is almost a model of seeking death in the eyes of people today.

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

After all, before the first 'blasphemous slate' appeared, all extraordinary creatures had no concept of sequence pathways, only the instinct of aggregation and reproduction and blind attempts. And perhaps it was because of the high-sequence 'spiritual shuttle' ability of the 'Death God' pathway that Graygari tried to merge the 'Gate' pathway, which also had the ability of 'spiritual shuttle'.

But this did not increase His strength. Instead, He became easily out of control, and constantly wavered between madness and sanity.

This is true for almost all eight ancient gods, with the only exception probably being Lilith, the ancestor of the blood clan.

Because according to the various historical records today, the vampires are the most rational of all the extraordinary races in the Second Age, and the vampire ancestor Lilith is the strongest, and can even fight two people alone without losing.

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

The reason why the other party was able to avoid absorbing the extraordinary characteristics of other pathways was obviously that he had a certain understanding of "pathways" and "sequences". (End of this chapter)
