Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea.

Chapter 46 We Are All Civilized People

Hermaine deliberately changed the subject, causing a hint of doubt and regret to flash in Amanisis's eyes.

This nearly year-long contact allowed Him to be certain that Hermaine had the most basic desires, and that these desires were directed toward Himself.

Coincidentally, He felt that His own desire was slowly growing.

This desire is also a part of human nature, so He took the initiative to bring up this topic, wanting to test whether this desire would have any effect on Him.

But to His surprise, Hermaine avoided the topic.

He wondered what Hermaine was worried about...

Afraid of being rejected by Him?

That idea is a bit ridiculous; Helmayne doesn't seem like the sensitive and fragile type.

Although He felt doubt and regret, He quickly composed Himself and asked, "Which extraordinary trait do you wish to exchange for?"

While engrossed in arranging the new sacrificial ceremony, Helmaenie replied, "The Hanged Man pathway, Sequence Three, the Three-Headed Sanctuary."

"The Hanged Man pathway..." Amanisis stepped aside and asked, "You seem to know quite a few pathway sequence names?"

He smiled meaningfully and said, "You didn't name these, did you...?"

After redrawing the symbol of the "Hanged Man," Helmaenie shrugged and said, "It's a remnant of that enormous light and shadow... but for now, it's also my name."

Amanisis wondered what "also counts" meant.

Helmayne explained this by saying:

"Pathways and sequences objectively exist in this world. It's just that, until now, no living being in the world has discovered them or named them. Well, it's like the periodic table of elements."

"The periodic table of elements..." Amanisis looked enlightened. The familiar vocabulary from another world allowed her to truly understand the sequence of elements, while also stirring up a sense of nostalgia for that other world.

He still remembers the loneliness that arose spontaneously when He first arrived in the other world, the disorderly, brutal, and crazy life in the Demon Wolf Kingdom, and the influence of the extraordinary characteristics within Him, all of which made Him unconsciously abandon His humanity and become cold and indifferent.

To Him, this strange world was like an ocean filled with malice.

Until He followed His intuition and took in Hermaine, this human...

The dwelling where Helmaine lived was like an island, allowing Him to breathe and gradually rediscover His true humanity.

This was true in the Land of the Demon Wolves, and even more so after arriving in the tribe of Ilusa, which is why He was so determined to build a house for the two of them in the tribe.

He wanted to use Hermaine's influence to rediscover humanity, to fight against the madness from divinity, and to fight against the influence of the "Source Castle".

However, contrary to His expectations, in the process of regaining His humanity, His emotions also became richer...

At this point, Helmayne continued to explain:

"In fact, I now have the ability to display the names of all the sequences of the twenty-two pathways on the 'Stone Tablet'."

After the dream space was formed, Hermaine, whose connection with the Profaned Slate deepened, was able to confirm that she possessed this ability.

"But that's just an empty shell. The potion recipes and promotion rituals corresponding to the sequence are unknown to me. For example, the promotion ritual for the 'Calamity Knight' only fully manifests after you are pulled into the space."

The contents of the blasphemous tablets are a manifestation of God's "omniscient and omnipotent" authority, and represent the only correct path to godhood in this mysterious world.

The essence will not change, but the sequence on the stone tablet and the names of the materials will change with the development of the times and the will of the high-ranking beings who hold power at the top through certain means.

Helmani hesitated for a moment, then added:

"The 'kings' who are at the top of the pathway now actually have the ability to name the sequence, but they have not yet realized the concept of pathway and sequence, so naturally they will not use this authority."

Upon hearing this, Amanisis pondered for a moment and asked, "What impact will changing the sequence name have?"

Helmani paused what she was doing, organized her thoughts, and replied, "Changing the name will not change the essence of the sequence, but it will cause a significant change in the overall ideology of the extraordinary individuals of this pathway."

Thinking of the nonsense uttered by a certain Midnight Poet in the original plot, she laughed again: "For example, if I were Sequence 0 of the Dark Path, I could change the sequence name 'Midnight Poet' to 'Midnight Howler'."

At this point, Hermaine looked at Amanisis with a provocative gaze and said rather smugly, "Of course, now that I have the stone tablet in my hand, I can change it too."

Amanisis wasn't annoyed by his words, and returned the smile: "Is that so? I'd like to see who will become the Midnight Howler..."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Sensing the danger of dying if she tried, and knowing that her strength still needed to grow, Helmani coughed lightly and continued, "Just kidding. How can a roarer be as gentle as a poet? We are all people from the civilized age."

Amanisis chuckled at this, then asked seriously, "What would happen if you and the sequence zero of that pathway simultaneously changed the sequence name of that pathway?"

Having finished setting up the ceremony, Helmani straightened up and, upon hearing the question, answered without hesitation: "Of course, it will be guided by the will of sequence zero of that pathway sequence."

The Profane Tablets are essentially a deduction by "God," not a predetermined setting. Holding the Profane Tablets, she certainly couldn't compete with those Sequence Zeroes for the naming rights.

Even the true God, the "Primordial Creator," can only influence the pathways corresponding to the source matter He contains. He cannot cover all twenty-two pathways on Earth. At least, he cannot influence the pathways of the Mysterious Lord and the Outer Gods.

Seeing that Hermaine had begun preparing the ritual for requesting blessings, Amanisis stopped asking questions and withdrew, disappearing from the study and leaving behind a hidden power.

With her consciousness focused, Helmani recited the name of the deity again, and she saw piles of spiritual material constantly filling the dream space through the illusory "gateway to the kingdom".

The spirituality within the towering stone statue in the dream space thus became abundant.

Immediately afterwards, a piece of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Three-Headed Church" separated from it, causing its abundant spirituality to wither away again.

The extraordinary nature of the "Three Heads Church" held a strong allure for Hermaine.

"Fully automatic separation... I thought I'd have to pry it out of the statue myself." Helmaenie grumbled, trying to resist the temptation. She quickly took the initiative to guide the process, responding to her prayer and channeling the extraordinary properties of the "Three-Headed Sanctuary" into the illusory passage.

Almost instantly, this extraordinary property landed on the altar placed in the study.
