Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 574 Packing up the Celestial Venerable and sending him to the Lord of the Star Realm
The biggest problem for the "Mysterious Servant" who has advanced to the first rank is undoubtedly the Celestial Consciousness contained within his extraordinary characteristics.

Especially given that there are already two "Celestial Venerable Consciousnesses" in reality, one real and one fake.

Clearly, the two Celestial Venerables reached a consensus. Now that they were already sealed away, they had somehow fooled someone or exploited some loophole to establish a connection with the extraordinary characteristics of the mysterious servant above the Source Castle.

Although the seal prevents the direct containment of this characteristic, it can replace Klein's position during the ritual.

After all, this is one of the things that the "Lord of Mysteries" is best at doing.

He stole some of the genie's abilities. He twisted Klein's ritual for the "Ether Ghost" into two rituals performed simultaneously: the "Ether Ghost" and the "Mysterious Servant." This caused Klein's spirit to be corrupted during the extremely dangerous period of the "Ascension Ritual," forcing Klein to absorb the characteristics of the "Mysterious Servant" without any prepared auxiliary materials.

Schizophrenia is the most common form of loss of control in the Gui San family.

The Celestial could use this to allow Klein to split into a personality without thought, memory, or instinct, as the perfect vessel for His descent.

That's what the two Celestial Venerables thought, and that's what they did.

Clearly, they succeeded.

The newly formed consciousness was replaced in an instant and successfully digested the characteristics of the "Mysterious Servant".

It wasn't because of Klein's advance role-playing, but because this persona resurrected the Lord of Mysteries.

What could be better than successfully resurrecting the Lord of Mysteries to play the role of the Mysterious Servant?

However, the two celestial beings soon discovered the problem.

Once consciousness awakens, all their extraordinary characteristics should be simultaneously pulled to them by the extraordinary "law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics".

Even if those characteristics have been contained or sealed, it shouldn't prevent their return.

unless.

There is obstruction from the same appositive.

He raised his head and looked toward the star realm.

He saw a priest. His hair was jet black with a pale yellowish-gold hue at the roots, his eyes were pure gold, his skin was fair, his features were deep, and his eye sockets were sunken, making him quite similar to the people of the Northern Continent at that time.

The ancient sun god.

The present God, Creator, Creator, All-Knowing and All-Powerful One, Lord of the Stars.

The astral plane has descended, and the chaotic sea has descended.

One after another, indescribable, tangible symbols appeared around Kleinby, who had been replaced by the Celestial, as if an ocean encompassing all possibilities and colors appeared between Him and the Source Castle at the highest point of the spirit world.

He blocked the return of extraordinary characteristics and severed His connection with the Source Castle and the Spirit Realm.

No wonder Klein informed Arrodes before the ceremony.

Because Arodes came from the Chaos Sea, what Arodes knew was the same as what the ancient sun god knew.

When the Celestial Venerable looked into the eyes of the ancient sun god with clear vision, he seemed to see the God who had always been at odds with him.

No wonder, no wonder God was willing to postpone his resurrection and temporarily relinquish his power.

As an omniscient and omnipotent being, He was able to see countless futures and arrange countless scenarios at the moment of His initial resurrection.

No, not just God.

There's also a bunch of inexplicable data.

Happiness, joy, and despair...

A vast amount of data flooded the spirit world, turning it into a chaotic mess. Some of His attempts to resist were swallowed up by the chaotic sea, some were suppressed by the astral planes, and the rest were swallowed up by this data.

Finally, there's the appearance of Klein.

The Heavenly Venerable's consciousness, which possessed only consciousness but lacked extraordinary characteristics and could not access the Source Castle or control the Spirit Realm, was pierced through the chest.

The Celestial Venerable stared at Klein with his deep, dark, and dull eyes, a grin spreading across his face.

That old geezer, he's writing a script and arranging it for me again.

This was the last thought of the Celestial Venerable before his consciousness dissipated.

Translucent, slippery tentacles emerged from Klein's face, which was being parasitized by the Celestial Venerable, followed by his neck, body, and limbs...

Until his entire body was covered with numerous tentacles formed from worms.

These tentacles curled inward, enveloping the body that originally belonged to Klein.

Klein withdrew his hand from the chest of the body that was identical to his own, watching as the wound healed rapidly. Finally, he absorbed a "Deep Sleep Flower"—one that Klein had placed inside when he pierced through the body—into the entire form.

That was a flower he had just picked in the goddess of night's kingdom, at her behest.

In the mystical world, there is a particularly simple way to resolve split personality: simply kill the second personality.

Although the pillar's consciousness is indestructible and cannot be completely killed, it is not impossible to put it into a long period of slumber.

In the last few seconds before his consciousness fell into slumber, the Celestial Venerable in front of him used his tentacles to wrap himself into a cocoon. Klein raised his hand and pushed the surface of this tentacle cocoon.

The tentacle cocoon quickly floated backward.

A door to the spirit world opened behind him, and the Celestial Venerable floated out, but did not fall into reality.

He fell into the astral plane.

The exit from the spirit world was directly grafted into the astral realm.

A hand reached out from the astral plane, grabbing the Celestial Venerable as if receiving a relay baton, pulling and throwing Him upwards.

There, a colorful sun hangs high above the starry sky.

This is not a symbol; its style is completely out of place in the entire astral plane.

That was the colorful light that the ancient sun god received from Aha.

The point of intersection between the spirit realm and the astral realm broke, and Klein withdrew his gaze.

As expected, it was safest to package up the Celestial Venerable's consciousness and send it to the "Lord of the Star Realm".

Without a sound, a gray-white mist appeared behind him, and above the mist was an ancient palace. Inside the palace stood a door made of countless orbs of light, tinged with a bluish-black hue.

The portal appeared quite clearly in the spirit realm, separating a rather blurry phantom that projected towards Klein's body.

As the phantom transformed into complex symbols and imprinted itself on Klein's brow, the entire spirit world and the outside world trembled slightly, as if they had encountered an earthquake from a very distant place.

At this moment, Klein's surroundings became deep and dark, with one illusory star after another appearing, surrounding the strange light gate, seemingly trying to gather around it.

Klein raised his right hand, held up one finger, and drew a square door in the air.

Then, a door actually appeared.

It was a wooden door, looking ancient and weathered, as if it had existed there since ancient times, in the air above this spirit world.
