Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 389 Almost Became a Witch
The core ability of the "Pleasure Believers" is called "Pleasure Dice". Its effect is simple: Pleasure Dice is automatically rolled every 24 hours, and the result of the roll randomly grants Rolin the ability of any of the 22 pathways that currently exist on Earth, with an upper limit of 0 and a lower limit of 9. The ability will last until the next roll.

Simply put, this is a skill with an incredible potential ceiling and an incredibly low potential, its main focus being to leave everything to the unknown.

"Where did this come from? Is this still a Western fantasy world? What kind of cultivation stage is this...?" Luo Lin couldn't help but complain.

Of course, he also knew that the "Dice of Pleasure" was actually much more reliable than the Void Refinement stage. After all, a Void Refinement stage cultivator could really be randomly transformed into a Qi Refinement stage cultivator, while the Dice of Pleasure only granted abilities and did not deprive Roland of his other abilities. So even if Roland really got a Sequence 9, he would still have enough ability to protect himself.

"No wonder it's called the Dice of Pleasure, it's so pleasurable..." Roland shook his head. He wasn't dissatisfied with this ability. Although getting a random sequence 9 would be terrible, getting a random sequence 0 would be quite enjoyable.

Rowling then focused on the progress of the "Pleasure Believer's" potion digestion, and then his expression became strange as he asked, "The Pleasure Believer's potion has been mostly digested, why?"

Luo Lin began to ponder the reasons. The so-called "pleasure believers" were obviously an advanced version of the pleasure-seekers. So, if we deduced from the performance rules of the pleasure-seekers, was the performance method of the "pleasure believers" also about finding pleasure?

“No, it shouldn’t be just that. Pleasure believers, pleasure and believers—pleasure in this sense should refer to finding enjoyment, following one’s inner thoughts, finding pleasure that makes one happy. But what about believers?” Roland pondered, stroking his chin. “I believe in myself?”

Luo Lin thought of his pseudonym "Chaos Overlord," which made him seem to have a low profile. Many people knew what the so-called "Chaos Overlord" was all about, but Luo Lin had actually been promoting this pseudonym all along.

After all, once Roland is promoted to Sequence 0, he intends to use that title to establish a church.

"Could it be because of this?" Rowling raised an eyebrow, thinking of Klein's actions in the original story where he digested the Mysterious Servant potion in a second because of "I serve myself," and felt that this was very likely.

After all, his situation was actually similar to Klein's, and because he was actually Little Nyarlathotep, Rowling really fit the Trinity setting.

The name of sequence 0 of the Chaos Path is "Lord of Pleasure". From this perspective, it is not surprising that Rolin consumed most of the Pleasure Believer potion.

"No, the reason I digested most of the potion was mainly because I practiced the principle of pleasure. Considering what I've been up to lately, it's probably precisely because I haven't been wholeheartedly playing the role of a follower of the Chaos Lord that it didn't melt instantly upon entering my mouth." Roland raised an eyebrow, thinking this, and said:
"Ah, it seems that the matter of establishing the Chaos Church can be put on the agenda."

To ensure that there would be enough faiths to anchor him in the future, Rowling naturally needed to establish his own church.

This won't be too difficult. After all, the main difficulty for others in establishing churches is competing for faith with the Seven Gods and other secret entities, but Rolin doesn't have this worry. If he wants to establish a church, others will only give him their full support.

"Let me think about it, I think it's best to leave this to Xiao Hong. She should be quite familiar with the process." Luo Lin had a suitable candidate in mind.

Although theoretically Sasriel might be more suitable, He still had a lot of work to do. On the other hand, Medici finished his work with the Rose School, and Sasriel took over the work in the border cities. With the help of an assistant, he actually didn't have as much to do.

After finalizing the decision to establish a church in his heart, Roland then began to think about advancing to Sequence 3, "Time Memory Master." The auxiliary materials required for the "Time Memory Master" potion were equally abstract, described as "a memory covering all important historical moments within at least a thousand years, which can be pieced together from the memories of different people; the longer the time period included, the better the effect."

"To be honest, is this what you call tailor-made?" Roland raised an eyebrow. For others, obtaining the memories described above might be difficult, but for Roland, it really was just that.

After all, if others want to obtain memories containing all the important events from at least a thousand years ago, they might need to search everywhere, do archaeology, dig up secrets, and so on. But Rolin doesn't need to. His Time Shadow ability is all about what kind of memories you want to obtain; you can just pull the person in question directly.

“However, all the important milestones, tsk, seem a bit troublesome. They’re not difficult, but they’ll definitely be quite tedious…” Roland shook his head and then turned his attention to another matter, which was the ritual for advancing to Sequence 3, “Time Memory.”

The requirements for the ceremony are simple, at least not difficult for Rowling. It requires creating an event in the current world that is significant enough to be recorded in history, involving no fewer than one million people.

This request might be difficult for others, but for Rowling, it was just a piece of cake.

"That's good. At this pace, perhaps I'll be able to complete the ritual and advance to Sequence 3 by the time the spark is officially ignited? I wonder what kind of abilities the Time Memory Master will have." Roland stroked his chin, guessing for a while and hesitating between several possibilities before making a hasty conclusion.

He then stretched, and then Roland sensed something. With a flick of his wrist, an exquisite die appeared in his palm—the Dice of Pleasure.

At this moment, the Dice of Pleasure is spinning in Rowling's palm. This process is not under Rowling's control, but rather a spontaneous result of the dice.

Rowling could even see the names of sequences flashing through the air as the dice spun, including many names he recognized, such as the Diviner, the Recorder, and the Divine Abomination.

As Luo Lin watched these names flash by, he felt a rare sense of tension, much like when drawing cards before transmigrating. Even though he knew the probability of getting junk cards was the highest, he still couldn't help but look forward to the appearance of a golden legendary card.

Just then, the dice finally slowed down, and under Rolin's gaze, a name slowly appeared—Disaster Witch.

Holy crap?! How could he forget that? The 22 sequences of gods include the one for witches!

At that moment, Rowling's heart almost stopped beating. Fortunately, fate seemed to be on his side. The die, which had almost stopped spinning, finally flipped over and revealed a new name—Death.

"Phew..." Roland breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in the chair. He felt that he had never experienced such a dramatic emotional rollercoaster in his life. He could only say that the Dice of Pleasure truly lived up to its name.
