What if you ascend to the wrong world?

Cyril shuddered and lowered his head in dejection.

Yes.

If the Lord knows everything, how could He not know about one's own sins?

"I... am guilty."

“From today onwards, you are no longer the archbishop,” Elliott said calmly.

Cyril suddenly looked up!

The moonlight streaming through the window shone on him, making the intense darkness in his eyes even more eerie.

"Elliott".

He clenched his fist, and for the first time, he did not address the pope before him, whom he had revered for half his life, as "Your Majesty."

"You were the one who told me to go find those lunatics."

“But you also promised that this wouldn’t shake your faith in the Lord.” Elliott’s tone remained calm.

This in itself is a test.

If Cyril could remain unaffected and absolutely clear-headed while interacting with those madmen, he would be the next pope.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.

He lost his right the moment he became madly infatuated with Irene Wett.

Cyril stared intently at Elliott, meeting his calm and indifferent gaze. Suddenly, his clenched fists relaxed, and he even smiled.

“My faith in the Lord has never wavered.”

"Is what you believe to be the will of the Lord?"

"Elliott, you are too arrogant."

……

……

Residential area, Morning Star Lane.

In an inconspicuous alley, the figure draped in a black robe gradually solidified.

"That old man was indeed deeply influenced."

Cyril lost his mind with just a few words of provocation and took action right there in the Dawn Cathedral, indicating that he was deeply affected.

If nothing unexpected happens, Elliott's side should already be planning to get rid of him.

but……

The attitude of the Lord of Dawn is still unclear, and the outcome is uncertain.

Thinking it over, he walked out of the alley.

Just as they were about to leave the holy city of Loser to return and report the situation, they heard footsteps coming from the end of the street.

Ok?

It's so late, and there are still people around?

A faint purple light shone in his eyes.

wrong!

Isn't this the pretty boy that Irene Vitte considers her master?

Why are you still wandering around the streets so late?

My heart is filled with restless desire.

or……

Why not just control him? Maybe that will affect Irene Wett?

'never mind.'

The most important thing is to bring the intelligence back and let the adults know the attitude of the Lord of Dawn. At this critical juncture, we should not cause any unnecessary trouble.

Thinking about it, he turned to leave.

However, they had only taken one step.

Rumble!

The world seemed to tremble, and everything around us began to recede!

The eternal void spread out in all directions from his location as the origin!

Holy city, stars, bright moon...

In less than a thousandth of a second, everything was submerged in this utterly empty void.

This is……

what?

Footsteps came from not far away, just like the ones we had heard before.

"The Apostle of Original Sin?"

Black and white intertwine and swirl, emerging from the void, as if it were the foundation of the world—simple and pure, yet containing boundless and infinite variations.

Since the divine is spiritual, its form and appearance are indeterminate, and it is one with all...

It can give rise to all things!

The Tao is boundless, and the Dharma is limitless!

Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core...

Magic, supernatural powers...

Immortal Path!

One after another, obscure terms were hard to understand, and paragraphs of information were impossible to explain. My thinking was slowed down to the extreme, and my personal will seemed insignificant in the face of this constant influx of information, and was instantly overwhelmed.

Only one thought remained in my mind!

Free and unrestrained, the true path to immortality!

Suddenly, he seemed to see himself...

Possessing the ability to ride the wind and control the qi, roaming the universe, wielding supreme and true power, life and death are but a thought away!

He began to tremble uncontrollably.

The excitement of seeing the 'truth' and the joy of seeking the 'immortal path'.

"Lyle! Lyle?!"

An urgent call rang out from the deepest part of his heart, like a pebble falling into a lake, finally bringing him to his senses a little.

But only a little bit.

"What's wrong with you? What did you see?!" the voice continued to ask.

“I saw…Sendoh,” Lyle replied blankly.

The path to immortality is the ultimate truth!

The only immortal way!

There seemed to be some unseen existence in the void, like a loud shout or a soft murmur, both bold and fierce, or delicate and melodious.

It's like a collection of countless sounds.

Hearing this, one can attain the true essence of immortality!

A strange flow of Dao energy surged directly through Lyle's mind, heading towards the one who was calling out.

"Immortal Path?"

The person who had just called out also murmured softly, their tone revealing a sense of bewilderment.

But perhaps the influence of the Dao was still shallow, because the person quickly realized what was happening.

"Damn it! It's contamination! Lyle, you've been corrupted by this 'immortal path'!"

"No! My body has already begun to mutate and deform!"

"No—! I can't—! I'm sorry, Lyle!"

The voice of the person who connected with Lyle's mind went from anxious to fearful.

Finally, it seems that the other side also began to be affected and began to change, so they had to sever the mental connection.

alienation?

distortion?

Under the endless influx of immortal information, Lyle's thinking became incredibly slow.

In a daze, he seemed to see his own reflection.

His eyes had double pupils, and his eyebrows were full of spirit.

The skin detached from the flesh and blood, transforming into a flowing blue feather robe. The skull twisted and deformed, bursting through the scalp and arching high, the bone material a pale blue color, resembling a jade crown.

Drops of blood trickled down his fingertips, forming a red and black tai chi symbol beneath his feet against the backdrop of eternal nothingness.

This is the form of the Immortal Path!

A realization dawned on Lyle.

original……

I have been corrupted by endless knowledge of 'immortality'.

"I……"

He opened his mouth, but a sudden inspiration came out and transformed into white lotus blossoms.

The form of the immortal path fully elucidates the true mysteries of the immortal path, and every word and action contains supreme secrets!

Without external intervention, he would probably have to live with this image for the rest of his life.

but……

Gollum~

Beneath the blue feathered robes formed from the skin, something seemed to be surging about.

A cold, sinister aura swirled around, actually clashing with the immortal form.

Then, his high-rising skull began to recover, the green feathers and flying robes reattached to his flesh, and even his pupils showed signs of merging into one.

however……

Although the essence of this cold, damp energy was high, Lyle's body could not withstand such intense resistance.

boom!

Lyle exploded, his splattered flesh and blood being scorched by the raging flames of creation, turning into wisps of pure energy that drifted away.

In the end, everything disappeared, leaving only two dark purple beads lying quietly in the surging flames of creation.

Chapter 20 Original Sin: Greed

Ye Tu: "..."

This makes me feel like some kind of invincible villain.

With a gentle gesture, the raging Creation True Flame instantly extinguished, and two dark purple orbs covered with mysterious patterns slowly floated up and landed in his hand.

To be honest, he had no intention of killing this guy at all; he only created that scene to make him pass out.

As it turned out, this guy seemed to have used some kind of extremely high-level ability, inadvertently glimpsing a trace of his true nature...

And then, just like that, he carelessly played himself to death.

Although the result was somewhat unexpected, it also confirmed some things for him.

First of all.
