Humans are devouring and selling off the heavens.

Chapter 103 Klein: The Stupid Author

Klein sat on the train, watching the smog gradually dissipate on the horizon.

He didn't want to appear in front of Benson and Melissa like this.

So be it.

The most urgent task now is to increase our own strength.

Whether through potions, absorbing faith, or exchanging at the Pavilion of All Heavens...

The first step is to advance through magic potions and gain control of the Gray Mist, which is the Source Castle.

On the other side of the Pavilion of All Heavens, the level of the Source Fortress is at least the eighth rank. According to the correspondence of the Devouring Starry Sky, if you calculate carefully, it should be a Universe Venerable.

Although we don't know the true god's strength, judging from some ancient legends of divine wars and the ruins left behind from battles between gods, it probably wouldn't reach this level and would be much lower.

At least the raging sea left behind by the Grim Reaper in legends isn't that big.

If a god is only at this level, then he might not even be as good as a cosmic-level martial artist who can devour the stars. He would probably be slapped by a ninth-level cosmic-level martial artist and made to spin like a top.

It is far inferior to Yuanbao, by a full four levels, and is indeed not worth worrying about.

Of course, this could also be to prevent the destruction of the planet, since believers are also the anchor that keeps the true God from going out of control.

Once one has control of the Source Castle, or even just a certain amount of power, one can transform from a potential pawn into a player.

With a sigh, Klein closed his eyes and clicked on the virtual panel in his mind.

The next moment, Klein opened his eyes and found himself no longer in the original steam train carriage, but in the quaint little house.

Xu Qing, sitting behind the counter, smiled slightly:

"The Night Watch, the extraordinary characteristics of the Lawful Mages, the pen of Althurod, it seems Mr. Zhou has already avenged his great grudge. Congratulations."

Even before Klein entered, Xu Qing had already deduced some things from his extraordinary characteristics and the items he possessed.

Al-Sükhod's Pen:

A sealed artifact formed from the characteristics of the Nightmare Dragon Alshogod after its death, which can be used to revive the Imaginary Dragon when fused with "The Journey of Grosser".

The stories He writes will become reality, corresponding to the Dreamer Path Sequence 1: Writer.

Quality: Tier 3

Rarity: 90

[The extraordinary characteristics of the Law Master:]
The Sequence 4 Extraordinary trait of the Judgement Path can be used to advance a Lawful Mage after being made into a potion.

Quality: Tier 1 High

Rarity: 99

The Night Watchman:

The Sequence 4 Extraordinary trait of the Night Path can promote one to Night Watchman upon consumption.

Quality: Tier 1 High

Rarity: 99

"So, Mr. Zhou, what would you like to exchange?"

Xu Qing lightly tapped the counter with her fingertips.

"I see that your soul has already reached the perfection of the fourth tribulation. Do you want to exchange it for a higher level of soul power, or do you still want the pills? Or do you want both?"

Klein was silent for a moment, then sat down in front of Xu Qing and looked up to ask, "Before the deal, Pavilion Master Xu, I want to ask something, just like I said when I first came here, I want to know about my future."

"And did the Goddess of Night orchestrate the escape of the Pen of Alshogod?"

"You actually asked that?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Qing's eyes, then he nodded and said:
"Did the Pen of Alshurst tell you? It's right, this was indeed the work of the Goddess of Night." Upon receiving confirmation from the Pavilion Master of the Heavens, Klein's expression suddenly darkened.
"What about the Tingen affair? Was that also orchestrated by the Goddess of Night? Or did she plan it with her knowledge?"

When asked this, Xu Qing's lips twitched slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "This matter is a bit complicated."

"According to the original author of your world, she must have foreseen the benefits involved and did it intentionally, making a deal with some important person."

"But according to the later supplementary settings... when the Goddess of Night released the Pen of Alshurst, she only sensed the variables and possibilities of fate, but could not be completely certain about the subsequent course of events."

What does "not being able to completely determine the subsequent developments" mean?

"That's what it means."

Klein's fingertips unconsciously rubbed his cuff. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, his tone carrying a very faint hint of sarcasm, yet without losing his composure:
"So, although the Night in the original story was a god who was willing to sacrifice his subordinates to achieve his goals, he was still a god who could see clear benefits, was ambitious, and had a brain, right?"

"After the author changed it, she became a bizarre, stupid, and wicked woman?"

"Does the author think it's ridiculous that a god would release a highly dangerous Sequence 1 sealed artifact just because of a strange future that even he himself is uncertain about?"

Klein shook his head and looked at Xu Qing:

"So, Pavilion Master Xu, what was the ending for the Goddess of Night in the original storyline?"

Xu Qing said, "With your help, I have been promoted to the Old Days."

Klein: "?"

Upon hearing this, Klein's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

"What is meant by 'the Old Ones'? A rank above the true gods?"

Xu Qing: "Yes, that's right. She absorbed the source matter and advanced to the Ancient, similar to your Source Castle, but a bit weaker."

Upon hearing this, Klein couldn't help but ask:
"Then what?"

Xu Qing: "What else could it be? And then it was over."

Upon hearing this, Klein, who had already felt that Dunn's death was even more unjust, twitched at the corner of his mouth again.

Xu Qing then added, "Moreover, the essence you had the night take away was the Yellow River of China."

Upon hearing this, Klein's pupils contracted slightly, but quickly regained their composure, and he simply said, "The Yellow River? So, the world I live in is actually Earth?"

Xu Qing nodded: "To be precise, you never time-traveled; you simply woke up after sleeping for countless years."

Upon hearing this, Klein immediately felt that some details were being piqued.

No wonder a year is also divided into twelve months, with 365 to 366 days in a year, and a week also has seven days.

This place was originally Earth.

Klein remained silent for a long time, his fingertips finally stopping their movements. When he looked up, his gaze had calmed down.
"So, I not only helped the Goddess of Night, who was inextricably linked to Dunn's death, ascend to the Ancients, but I also made her take away the Mother River of China?"

Even if, as Xu Qing said, the darkness did not directly and subjectively cause Dunn's death, there is still a connection between them.

He was already showing restraint by not seeking revenge against her, so why would he turn around and help her?

“Sect Master Xu,” Klein said, still puzzled, before turning to Xu Qing.

"The author wouldn't write a cliché story like 'the night is me' or 'Klein's' closest relative, would they? Otherwise, I really can't understand why the 'I' in the original story would do such a thing."

Xu Qing: "The Goddess of the Night is indeed related to you. She is from the same time as you, but she woke up a little earlier."

"So he's from the same hometown as Huang Tao?" Hearing this, Klein felt relieved, but also felt a bit caught in the middle.

"Oh, no, she's white."

"Then should I give her the Yellow River?"
