Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Chapter 99 Imperial Conferment

Kurt first agreed to the request, but found that the knowledge did not appear in his mind. It should only be able to be fed back when he returned to the real world. Kurt had a slight thought and realized that he could also give the knowledge he had mastered to the requester. Since he could "bestow" the abilities of these two paths to the believer, does that mean that he can also bestow the "properties" he has obtained to the believer in the future?

After that, they developed their own church—at a speed that left other churches far behind.

However, this bestowal is also limited. Currently, Kurt can only use abilities below Sequence 7 through the "Storyteller" and "Watchmaker" pathways, and only three special slots are available to receive Sequence 7 level bestowals.

This is only the initial stage, which means that in the future it will probably be like the potion system, where only three or a few people can obtain the Sequence 1 level "gift".

Moreover, this doesn't require potions; it can directly grant believers extraordinary abilities—directly drawing upon the power of source matter.

Thus, aside from the influence of extraordinary characteristics, Kurt could grant a person the power of two pathways—a hybrid pathway ability.

With that thought in mind, Kurt immediately gave a special spot to the ray of light that represented him. The moment the thought crossed his mind, a golden ray shot down from the unknown sky.

A dazzling golden light, as thick as a pillar, shot directly at the radiance hidden beneath the dark clouds, dispelling the layers of clouds. A massive square stone pillar burst through the clouds and rose from the ground, reaching about one-tenth the height of the mountain peak.

The golden light gradually dimmed and finally disappeared, and then the outline of Kurt's figure appeared at the top of the pillar, with a faint ray of light connecting to the sky.

After all that was over, Kurt established a connection with the pillar, or rather, with himself in the real world, and could now respond to Kurt's own prayers in real time.

This is strikingly similar to the crimson stars above the gray fog; it seems I can even act as a telephone receiver now.

Recalling the previous strange phenomena, Kurt gave this process a name—"Imperial Conferment".

These pillars will probably rise in level as the extraordinary abilities "bestowed" upon them increase—let's call them "Pillars of Homage to the Gods."

The person on this pillar—that must be one of my "favorites," right? What should I name him? Kurt started to rack his brains, finally realizing that he was still not good at naming things, so he simply put aside the idea of ​​naming and prepared to return to reality to see the effect of the "conferment."

Just as he was about to leave, a point of light reappeared in the distance, belonging neither to the "Taiyin" faith zone nor the "Taiyi" faith zone.

"Variables outside the boundary of a constant,"

"Those who return home against the tide of change."

"You are the reflection of the law, the crack of truth."

There was no description of Taiyin, so was it Klein? Kurt realized that Klein's prayers did not have the barriers that Taiyin's beliefs had, but rather he could directly see Klein dressed in formal attire performing a ritual in a small room.

"—I beseech you to bestow upon me the power to halt entropy.—"

Kurt also noticed that a faint gray mist was emanating from Klein's body, which should be the anomaly of the Source Castle. Kurt could barely see it with the help of the Source Matter, and the effects were filtered out by the Source Matter.

Klein is crafting an entropy-stopping talisman—but why are you using silver, huh? Silver works too, but the effect is—

Wait a minute, it seems I can control the effects of the talismans now—Kut paused for a moment, then was somewhat delighted. Although he did like gold, he could now make talismans with full effects using silver or scrap iron.

I currently have enough spiritual energy to use about 20 demigod talismans in a row — if I really stored up that many talismans, if a demigod came, I might accidentally kill him with the talismans.

After thinking for a moment, Kurt decided not to harm Little K's wallet and directly agreed to his request—immediately granting the full effect.

He did not directly confer the title upon Klein, fearing that such a conferment might cause some unusual phenomena—it would be difficult to explain if Klein were to hold a ceremony underground in the church.

Later on, we could try giving this spot to Klein, but I'm afraid it might cause some conflict with Source Castle, so we need to be careful and not kill the kitten.

After finishing all of this, Kurt severed his connection with the cliff and returned to the real world. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of starlight-like eyes staring at him in confusion very close to him.

When Kurt opened his eyes, Sorin's slender fingers, which were reaching for Kurt's face, froze in mid-air.

Kurt was startled by Sorin's sudden close proximity, but fortunately, his "Watchmaker" and newly acquired "Storyteller" abilities granted him exceptional reflexes.

This allowed him to quickly identify that it was Sorin, which is why he didn't imbue the air in front of him with "purifying" properties; otherwise, Sorin would have been roasted alive by now.

Sorin was clearly startled and let out a soft gasp.

"what!"

He immediately withdrew his finger, then turned away and disappeared.

"Thank goodness it's Sorin. I shouldn't stay in that mysterious space for too long afterward," Kurt muttered to himself, feeling the extra power within him.

Wait, it seems the Mother Goddess hasn't been sent away yet—

"Thank you, source of life!"

"You're awesome!"

"The Mother of All Things!"

"I beg for your answer; do you know my past?"

Kurt then set up a simple ceremony, directly asking the Mother Goddess for answers.

Sure enough, He responded immediately: "You cannot know yet, child. Continue your advancement."

Kurt wasn't surprised by this answer; what surprised him more was that the Mother Goddess seemed to have never left.

After seeing Lilith off, Kurt began to properly sort out his spoils.

-

The biggest takeaway was probably the confirmation that I must have been very powerful before, and that my current self is a backup plan for my past self—I also learned about my formidable enemy.

Having perfected his title, the privileges of the source material were thus greatly expanded.

It was determined that "Taiyin" pointed to oneself, or rather, basically pointed to oneself, and that those believers could indeed be used as one's anchor.

Next, we need to find out as soon as possible whether the Yin of the Nihilistic sect still responds.

Then there are "Imperial Conferment" and "Pillar of Godhood," which I can use to quickly build up my power and then gain the ability of a storyteller.

It enhances spirituality, memory, observation, and narrative abilities, enabling one to verbally describe scenes in one's mind to the audience, and if the duration is long enough, it can induce hallucinations in the enemy.

This ability is better than that of a "watchmaker," but it's still considered relatively weak.

They also obtained the name "Delusional" for Sequence Six and the abilities and recipes for "Fate Seeker" for Sequence Seven, but no new talismans.

Having fully confirmed Lilith's goodwill, she probably won't pose a threat to me in the early to mid-game.

P.S.: These two chapters I wrote today were a bit scattered; I'll revise them when I get home. I need to start preparing for chemistry; the exam is tomorrow.

There's also this "Imperial Conferment," which is probably the ordination system. Any suggestions or comments regarding its inconsistencies are welcome. This will make the protagonist's subsequent ascension to the Old Ones much easier.
