What if you ascend to the wrong world?

“He couldn’t have done it on his own, but there was also a ‘secret’ involvement.”

secret?

What about Oculus?

Lucia frowned slightly.

She knew that Dark Night had been in contact with that Salenchi, but Oculus...

"So you found him?"

“I discovered him. Because of his greed, I became aware of his presence and, using the hidden tool I left on him as a medium, I tried to trace back to the specific location of the hidden tool.”

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

When he taught the "Method of Crossing Tribulations," he used the same method as he did with the "Method of Refining Basic Magic Power."

Therefore, those who cultivate my methods will fall into my net.

In other words, he promised Irene Weit and Aaron that they would handle the matter themselves.

In addition, he himself was not very willing to use such methods.

otherwise……

The moment Salenchi memorized the "Law of Salenchi," Yetu was able to completely crush his will, rewrite his cognition, and reshape a completely new personality for the identity of 'Sarenchi'.

"Has it been traced back?"

Taking things by surprise should yield some results.

"No."

At this point, Ye Tu's expression became more serious.

“He used ‘the truth’ to isolate my tracing back with the possibility of loss.”

'Truth'?

Chapter 134 The Hidden Original Sin and Authority?

"The arrogant kind of 'truth'?" Lucia paused. "Does He also have a 'truth crystal'?"

Oculus's previous behavior made it seem like he understood arrogance very well.

He possesses the 'Spell Crystal'...

That seems plausible.

“It’s not the ‘Mantra’ crystal,” Ye Tu explained again. “He used the ‘Mantra’.”

There is a difference between using the 'Mantra' crystal and using the 'Mantra' directly; he wouldn't be so confused as to not understand this.

"The power of the 'truth' used by the secret is not as strong as that of the arrogance, but the control over details far surpasses that of the arrogance."

While its strength may be inferior, its attention to detail surpasses its arrogance.

Lucia frowned slightly, feeling increasingly uneasy as she thought about it.

Oculus used the 'Word of Truth' without relying on the 'Word of Truth Crystal', but wasn't the 'Word of Truth' an ability that Pride gained after fully assuming the power of Original Sin?

We can't just...

Did Oculus also inherit the power of 'pride', the original sin?

"Has the secret agent ever used a similar ability before?"

before?

"I don't have much interaction with Him."

She wasn't really familiar with Yinmi; they'd barely interacted.

"But as far as I know, the power held by Oculus is mainly manifested in 'concealment' and 'unknowability,' and should not have characteristics similar to 'truth.'"

"Stealing other people's abilities? Has He ever done anything similar?" Ye Tu asked again.

"I don't know any."

Lucia remained quite cautious in her answers.

Uncertainty is uncertainty.

She didn't want her answer to influence Ye Tu's judgment.

"Did you figure something out by asking that?"

Analyzing something that sounds incredibly complicated...

She has never been particularly good at it.

She is quite self-aware in this regard.

"Do you think Octlus stole the power of 'Pride'?"

"more or less."

Ye Tu raised his hand, and a gray crystal appeared, slowly rotating in his palm.

It was the Truth Crystal that was stolen from the royal family of the Saint Kru Empire.

“Since returning from the Saint Kru Empire, I have been studying the power of ‘True Words’.”

Have you been researching the power of 'true words'?

"But you have the power of life and death..."

She could sense that Ye Tu's power over life and death had been elevated to a level close to that of a supreme true god, and he was only one step away from beginning to unify concepts.

In other words, even if he lost all his immortal cultivation at this moment, based solely on his attainments in the extraordinary system of this world, he would still be in the first tier below the Supreme True God.

It hasn't been that long...

“I’ve also been researching this area,” Ye Tu said casually.

"..."

Because the joy of making progress in the path of immortality has vanished.

Lucia had mixed feelings.

She had noticed before that Ye Tu's progress in certain areas seemed somewhat...

Unusual?

"If you have time, we can chat later."

Although Lucia's mood was clearly reflected on her face, Ye Tu didn't pay much attention to it.

Throughout his cultivation journey, he has left countless people behind.

Fellow disciples who entered the Dao at the same time, fellow Daoists met along the way, and even the supreme beings of blessed lands that once seemed unattainable...

It seems so insignificant now.

He had experienced similar situations many times before.

"Let's get this straight first."

A surge of life-and-death power, interwoven with black and white, flashed and poured into the 'Mantra' crystal.

moment!

The surrounding light dimmed considerably, and a layer of gray light, like a thin mist, gently rippled and spread from the crystal, while the chaotic and fragmented images continued to shift.

The twist of the present and the weaving of the future are just a thought away.

“Back when we were still in the Saint-Kru Empire, we used that drop of blood as a medium to trace the bloodline of the Divine Blood Nobles.”

"Their ancestors were the god of emotions, or more accurately, the 'secret' that replaced the god of emotions."

"Furthermore, their possession of 'Truth Crystals' and their ability to easily activate and use them confirms that they also have intricate connections with Pride."

Upon hearing this, Lucia suppressed the strange feeling in her heart.

She understood what Ye Tu meant.

"You mean to say that the group of divine blood nobles is very likely them..."

"Yes."

Ye Tu stopped transmitting the power of life and death, and the gray light that flowed like a thin mist, displaying numerous images, gradually subsided.

"The Divine Blood Nobles were very likely created by them together."

"And secrecy must have stolen some of His power through some special means by combining with arrogance."

combine.

emm...

Isn't this a bit outrageous?

However, given the characteristics that the Ancient God's corruption has exhibited so far, this conjecture is surprisingly reasonable!

This also explains why the bloodline of the divine nobles originates from Oculus, who seized the identity of the God of Emotions, and why he is able to use the same 'truth' ability as Arrogance.

"Is it possible that Oculus has also completely mastered a power of original sin?" Lucia suddenly asked.

Ye Tu frowned:

"Why do you say that?"

"'Truth' is the power of arrogance bestowed by the authority of original sin, which in turn originates from the ancient gods. How could such an exaggerated and unreasonable power be stolen by ordinary means?"

It would make perfect sense if Oculus also held a power.

After all, the power of original sin originates from one place.

Lucia looked at the 'True Word' crystal in Ye Tu's hand.

"Even you wouldn't be able to bypass the crystal and use the 'True Word' directly, would you?"

"Similar effects can be achieved, but the underlying principles are indeed different..."

Lucia is right about that.

Compared to his research on the extraordinary systems of this world, his research on 'True Words' was not so smooth.

Otherwise, the tracing wouldn't have been blocked by the secret use of 'truth' before.

Ye Tu looked up at Luxia.

"But didn't you say before that only the three original sin powers of 'lust,' 'wrath,' and 'pride' had masters among the seven powers?"

"...That's what I know, but Oculus's power is very special. If he intended to hide it, I might not have found out."

The real-world confrontation is the strongest.

But there's really nothing we can do about this.

Who knows, Oculus might secretly take over a power of original sin without her and Dark Night's knowledge.

"..."

I originally intended to figure out the secret use of 'incantations', but now it feels like things are getting more and more complicated.

Ye Tu put away the 'True Word' crystal and raised his hand to press his brow.

The powers of the seven deadly sins are now in his hands: 'greed' and 'lust' are also under his control.

The holder of 'Pride' has already been encountered before, and 'Wrath' is also confirmed to have a master.

So, if we calculate it this way...

"Of the remaining three original sins—gluttony, envy, and sloth—which do you think is most likely to be secretly in control?"

"do not know."

She was just saying it casually; she couldn't possibly be thinking that deeply about it.

……

……

And just like that, the night passed quickly.
