Mystery: Becoming a Creator Through the Doorway

What is he doing?

Use the Source Castle, or the Gray Fog Space.

However, he failed.

While both Klein and the original author used the gray fog space, Klein succeeded.

What's the difference?

An Ruowang thought about it carefully and concluded that it was probably because Zhou Mingrui had been hung on the Source Castle and had the fate of being the master of the Source Castle, while he did not.

If we compare Yuanbao to a website, then An Ruowang only has a guest account, which can only browse the website normally, and there may even be a limit to the number of times she can view it.

Those who were hung on the Source Castle had already been "marinated" by the Source Castle, so they were considered one of their own. Therefore, they were essentially given a special account, allowing them to log in to the website and freely browse and post content.

In other words, Klein has been "ordained" by the Source Castle, and therefore can leverage the power of the Source Castle.

Thinking about it another way, if the velvet curtain had actually covered him, the Heavenly Venerable might have been resurrected.

Back then, when the Celestial Venerable returned to Yuanbao, it was like coming home; he wouldn't be as awkward as he is now.

The quietly flowing gray mist remained unmoved by his touch, and An Ruowang was momentarily at a loss for words in the face of this situation.

Although he can now use the gray fog to perform divination, he can't do anything else.

Having a treasure trove but being unable to use it is truly agonizing.

Could it be that he can only be an incompetent husband, merely watching?

That's it.

It seems that this is the only way.

An Ruowang decided to make one last attempt.

If it really doesn't work, then we'll wait until Klein gives up on becoming the Lord of Mysteries, and then we'll figure out a way ourselves.

The protagonist of the original work, Klein, was originally a person content with modest wealth. If he hadn't been forced by Amon to say "Source Castle is mine, destiny is yours," it's not impossible that he would have simply given up Source Castle.

But for him, while being an ordinary miracle worker or ancient scholar wouldn't be so bad, being the Lord of Mysteries would offer far more possibilities.

An Ruowang manipulated the small world, consuming the characteristics of the "diviner" in the velvet curtain, as well as the little bit of gray mist that had been sucked in when the door was opened.

Although he wasn't marinated by the source of the castle, he was marinated by the velvet curtain.

Moreover, the gray fog sucked into the small world is an integral part of this gray fog space.

Just like when he consumed the apprentice's traits before, as the small world began to digest the gray fog and the diviner's traits, An Ruowang felt something dissolving and merging with his own spirit and body, as well as the small world within him.

Moreover, and most importantly, he did not feel any discomfort whatsoever.

An Ruowang felt nothing of the madness, the whispers, or the mania.

However, the difference lies in the fact that, although the characteristics of a diviner are not as readily apparent as those of an apprentice, due to An Ruowang's prior role-playing, they are still present.

However, it was being "digested" by the small world at a relatively fast pace.

An Ruowang predicted that even if he didn't actively play the role of a diviner, it wouldn't take him more than a week to digest this trait.

If one were to actively assume this role, it would probably take no more than three days to process this characteristic.

Could it be because I'm already a powerful expert at the Sequence 9 level?

Just like a reborn Immortal Emperor rebuilding his Foundation Establishment Realm?

An Ruowang seemed lost in thought.

It seems that he can indeed pursue all routes simultaneously without any burden.

I am the second and only creator!

Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be unique.

However, let's put this matter aside for now.

There is something more important.

As An Ruowang digested the characteristics of the diviner and the gray fog, he inexplicably felt that the gray fog space had become somewhat closer to him, like a stray cat or dog that he had fed once.

This method seems to work.

An Ruowang reached out and tried to touch the red stars again.

"..."

They still did not respond.

Insufficient permissions?

How about trying to generate a temple?

An Ruowang closed his eyes and tried to communicate with the gray mist to create a temple.

The gray fog space remained completely unresponsive.

An Ruowang sighed.

It feels like I'm dating a high and mighty Yuanbao. I have to increase his affection level every day by chatting, patting his head, and giving him gifts, otherwise he'll always have zero affection.

That's true. They were hung up in the Source Castle several eras ago, so you could say they were childhood sweethearts.

He and Yuanbao have only known each other for a few days.

It didn't even last an hour.

There's no other way; it seems he can only start gnawing at the Source Castle and the Gray Fog Space every day using his small world, chipping away at their foundations daily.

This is what stepmothers raise.

Without further hesitation, An Ruowang reached out and grabbed the gray mist, preparing to refine it instantly.

A dark blue, intangible, and blurry gate opened instantly, beginning to collect the boundless gray mist.

An Ruowang stopped after absorbing the nutrients for only a short while.

It's not that he didn't want to eat more.

He feared that if he really caused a big commotion, he would be attacked by Fugen's hounds, since Yuanbao was ignoring him.

The Hound of Fugen, also known as the Keeper of the Source Castle.

They live in the gaps of history in the spirit world, active within the gray mist.

Strictly speaking, this gray fog is not the Source Castle, but a derivative of it, a symbolic entity woven from all the histories of the Spirit Realm.

The true Source Castle is a mysterious space above the gray fog.

But it doesn't matter, An Ruowang will eat a little bit every day, little by little, and I don't believe it won't work.

Take it slow; time is on his side.

However, once Klein is deployed, he may have to share the Source Castle with Klein for a while.

An Ruowang is aware that she is a mistress and will keep it secret from Klein.

Overall, through the fortune-telling ceremony, An Ruowang acquired a set of Diviner 9-1 traits and a way to get closer to Yuanbao every day, which was quite a good deal, and he was already satisfied.

Rather than letting this set of characteristics benefit the Wish Wolf Kotal of the Forsaken Lands, it's better to give it to him.

Once An Ruowang had become a mysterious attendant step by step, he began to use his high level as a Sequence 1 expert to defeat other Sequence 2 experts, easily collecting the characteristics of the other 21 paths. He could even consider the path of the Outer God.

Yes, since 1 is smaller than 9, it makes sense that sequence 1 is weaker than sequence 9.

Even if I can't become the Lord of Mysteries, it will still be easy for me to be a minor first creator of all-path Sequence 2.

An Ruowang felt that her future was incredibly bright.

Now that the matter was over, he no longer hesitated. He unleashed his spirituality, sensed his physical body in the real world, and then imitated the heavy feeling of a rapid descent.

Leave the gray fog and log off!

An Ruowang's view immediately changed; the gray fog and crimson stars vanished in an instant, like a stretched landscape outside a car window.

He soon saw the real world, the three lit candles, and the ritual that was not yet over.
