A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 308 Uniqueness Everywhere!
"Congratulations on your advancement! You've leveled up again. Shouldn't you boost the strength of the brothers? I'm still just a Sequence 6 Fire Thief, what am I good for?"

“Smile, you real body. I can’t tell from your expression whether your divinity or humanity is in control.”

"I don't know what kind of personality the original body has, but your clone No. 98 is definitely full of humanity."

Before Xu Lie even opened his eyes, he heard hundreds of clones chattering around him. A helpless expression appeared on his face: "Don't worry, I'm perfectly human."

After advancing to the Destiny Trojan Horse, one can gain partial control over destiny and partial control over theft, expanding the scope of theft to areas such as destiny, identity, and extraordinary traits.

These are all abilities that could be obtained in advance through the Source Castle.

"I had just been promoted when I sensed two unusual things. One stemmed from an extraordinary characteristic within me: an aloofness, indifference, and condescension, viewing everything as if it were a story in a book, devoid of any emotion."

"Secondly, there are you and my many followers. I can see countless brilliant points of light. Whether you recite the name of the Heavenly Venerable of Blessing and Prosperity or you recite it incorrectly, both of these names will point to me."

"And then there are you. Each of my clones is a believer, and each clone possesses my most authentic memories and past. Based on this, you are the best anchors in the world."

"Thanks to you all, I am now in a stable state, with humanity prevailing over divinity."

The clones looked at each other, wondering why they felt a little dangerous being praised by the main body.
Everyone knows that the main body belongs to the capitalists and only knows how to make them work hard. Why are they suddenly so easy to talk to?

Could it be that there is some high-risk mission that requires them to send their clones to their deaths? Many of the more perceptive clones became wary and secretly moved back to protect the less perceptive clones in front of them.

The clone that spoke first, the one who was the sixth-order Fire Thief, quickly raised his hand: "Main body, since you've said so, shouldn't you help the brothers improve their strength? At least mention the Dream Thief family to me."

"I've wanted to steal other people's dreams for a long time."

"No problem." Xu Lie readily agreed, and without any visible movement, the clone had already transformed into an insect and returned to the main body, thus being promoted to Sequence 2.

The hundreds of clones scattered like birds and beasts. They really were the same heartless original! How could they, as clones of the original, be deceived by him? It was truly unacceptable!

Only the 98th clone remained: "That's not right. In the original story, the spiritual imprint within the extraordinary characteristics originates from the beginning, so it needs an anchor point to assist humanity in fighting against divinity."

"In this way, we can prevent an even more ancient will from reviving within us."

"But this is the world of dragons. Without the beginning, how could your true form perceive the supreme divinity?"

When this was mentioned, Xu Lie's expression became somewhat complicated. There were some things he couldn't understand before, but after actually reaching this position, he had some guesses: "It might be myself."

"???" Clone No. 98 looked puzzled. Was there really a main body involved?
Xu Lie didn't say much, after all, it was just a guess. The Dragon Clan world did not have the original existence, but there was a transmigrator like him.

The world before his transmigration can be divided into the upper narrative, while the dragon world is merely the lower narrative. His cheat ability is the built-in mysterious system.

Is it possible that the aloof, indifferent mental imprint that treats everything as a story is actually the self before time travel?

Because they are readers of the story, because they are at the top of the narrative, they are aloof and indifferent to everything in the story. Whether it is joy or sorrow, even the destruction of the universe is just a page in the book.

That is, what he currently calls divinity.

Never mind, I won't think about it too much for now. It's just a possibility. Maybe I'll be able to figure it out when I advance to Sequence One or Sequence Zero.

Xu Lie shook his head, suppressing the analysis deep in his heart, deciding not to waste his energy on it for the time being. With a thought, he leaped to the Source Castle.

Having gone further and further down the wrong path, and now having completely taken control of the Source Castle, Xu Lie is eager to see what is hidden inside the portal of the Source Castle itself.

Logically speaking, the worm-shaped portal on the Source Castle itself is merely a symbol.

The transparent and semi-transparent worm clusters symbolize fools and mistakes, while the large gate symbolizes a door, combining the characteristics of the three paths.

In other words, that door was just a door; there was nothing behind it, and it couldn't even be opened.

But Xu Lie had a feeling that something was hidden in the worm portal, something that was calling to him.

When he deceived his mentor during his promotion to Sequence 3, he placed his hand on the worm portal of the Source Castle and was able to sense the mysterious response from the worm portal.

It just couldn't be opened when I was deceiving my mentor, but now that it's been blocked by a Trojan horse, it should be fine.

While Bao Lie was feeding the dogs, upon seeing the real body, Fu Gen's Hound was much more enthusiastic than Bao Lie, wagging its tail and rushing over, circling around Xu Lie.

Upon seeing this, Xu Lie looked at Bao Lie, who instinctively covered the area with both hands: "What do you want to do?! I can't possibly add a tail! And I certainly can't wag it for you!"

"Even if you are the original form, it won't work!"

"..." Xu Lie had just been promoted, and his face couldn't hold back, turning into several semi-transparent worms before solidifying back into a face after a moment.

What's wrong with Bao Lie? Does being in jail for too long affect one's brain?

Xu Lie recalled how he had sensed Bao Lie's longing for a vacation when he drank the potion, and finally softened his heart: "After holding a party, I'll give you a vacation and send a clone to take your place." "Really?!" Bao Lie suddenly became excited and took the initiative to control the gray mist, condensing it into a gray mist tail behind him: "Is this enough for your main body? If not, I'll condense a nine-tailed fox."

Faced with such a shameless act, Xu Lie finally couldn't hold back: "Defying the heavens!"

Completely disregarding the extraordinary praise, Bao Lie approached, dragging his stiff, unattached gray mist tail: "Promotion successful, how's the digestion?"

“Not bad.” Xu Lie didn’t look at Bao Lie and slowly walked towards the worm portal. “I just finished taking the potion and digested most of it. After all, I have stolen other people’s fates many times before.”

“Of course.” Fortress, like a caring butler, helped his master recall past grievances: “Leaving aside Angers, whom you have parasitized, the fates of the high-ranking officials of various forces have definitely been stolen by you.”

"Just take your past as the original self as an example. You fooled so many people and changed the fate of so many people. It must have helped you digest the Trojan Horse of Fate."

"This thing, which disrupts fate, is not too difficult to play."

Ignoring Bao Lie's attempt to mimic Fugen's wagging tail by controlling the gray mist, Xu Lie conjured a few gray mist 'rice balls' and tossed them to the dog, telling it to go eat them first. He then walked alone toward the worm portal.

Once again, place your right hand on the gate of light.

This time, the worm portal responded, and spacetime fluctuated, as if something extraordinary was about to be released from it.

However, under the suppression of the worm portal and the source castle itself, those formidable things were forced to quiet down.

The portal surrounded by swarms of worms slowly opened, but in reality, it didn't open; the portal remained unchanged. However, Xu Lie had the feeling that the portal in front of him was opening.

First, a monocle floated out from inside the light gate and hovered in front of Xu Lie.

Following closely behind is a mask inscribed with the symbol of the Fool and a pair of starlight eyes.

Then came silver cross pendants, dice, brass books, twilight greatswords, charred blood-stained battle banners, a full moon, scrolls, and other such items.

Finally, a huge tidal wave of strange and bizarre objects surged out, including light and shadow crystal pillars, black curtains, and translucent keys, all coming out in clusters of three.

Xu Lie and Bao Lie behind him were dumbfounded. Fugen's Hound didn't even dare to wag its tail, lying prostrate on the gray mist, not daring to look in their direction.

The Hound of Fortune could sense that a multitude of terrifying things had gathered before the Lord of the Spirit Realm—things it dared not even touch.

Let alone Fugen's hound, even Bao Lie didn't dare to come up and touch it, only daring to stretch his neck and look from afar: "The uniqueness of each... each path and the three sequence-one property? How come they're all here with me?!"

"Who...who put the uniqueness and sequence number one property into my light gate?"

Bao Lie began to tremble all over. He never imagined that so many unique and sequence-one characteristics were buried under the 'prison' where he usually stayed!
This isn't a 'prison'! It's practically a minefield rave!

Sitting on so many unique things, if even one of them came to life, Bao Lie wouldn't even dare to dream of it!
Bao Lie glanced at the dice; thankfully, they weren't spinning. He then glanced at the brass book; thankfully, it wasn't automatically writing anything. He looked at the Hermit's Path Uniqueness again; even better, it hadn't come back to life yet.

"What are you afraid of?" Xu Lie was too lazy to even complain about this guy. Inside the Source Castle, they were suppressed by the Source Castle's main body worm light gate. How could these unique beings be so easy to come back to life?

Even in the original work, the Hermit's uniqueness was transformed into the Hidden Sage because of the corruption of the Fallen Mother Goddess. Since there is no Mother Goddess in the Dragon Clan world, how could it come back to life so easily?

Xu Lie's reaction wasn't as strong. He picked up the monocle floating at the forefront of all uniqueness and analyzed it while playing with it: "The word game designed before the transmigration has become the real nine source substances after it descended into the Dragon Clan Universe."

"So, all the extraordinary features that the game comes with should have been integrated into the Dragon Universe, thereby changing the potion recipes and ritual content. Even the Dragon King's Heart is just a main ingredient for Sequence 2 potions."

"So, given the characteristics of Sequence One, and its even more advanced uniqueness, why can't a suitable attachment be found in the Dragon Universe? Does that mean it can only remain in the Source Castle?"

"This solves my immediate problem." Xu Lie's expression relaxed considerably as he finished speaking. He wasn't particularly happy after successfully advancing to the Destiny Trojan Horse.

Since there was no road ahead, he didn't know where to go to find the main ingredients for the next potion.

Materials of the Dragon King level can only be used to make Sequence 2 potions, so at most, Black King materials can only be used to make Sequence 1 potions.
Where will we find the uniqueness required for the Sequence Zero potion? Surely the Black King isn't so abnormal that every part of his body is unique in its own way, right?

Fortunately, now that there are uniquenesses everywhere and three sets of Sequence 1 characteristics, Xu Lie's troubles have been completely solved, and the corners of his mouth have unconsciously turned up high.

Bao Lie scratched his head, feeling that it made sense, but something was off: "Then why not attach it to the Black King?"

"Not mentioning uniqueness is a bit too high. Since the Sequence 2 special ability is attached to the Dragon Kings, then the Sequence 1 special ability should be attached to the Black King, right?"

“There’s a problem.” Xu Lie had already put on the monocle: “The Black King is dead, his remains are gone, there’s nothing for them to attach to.”

"You can do that?" Bao Lie muttered in surprise, then added insincerely, "Black King, you died a terrible death."

Finally, Xu Lie only took the uniqueness of the wrong path, and it was best to keep the rest in the worm portal for now: "Let's call a meeting, today happens to be Monday."

"Announcing your return and your achievements."
