What if you ascend to the wrong world?

“Pure immortal cultivation is indeed not suitable for this world,” Ye Tu sighed softly.

His performance just now was enough to confirm to him that, to this world, he, a cultivator of immortality, was the outsider.

Therefore, any purely 'immortal path' lineage based on 'spiritual power' will be distorted by the rules of this world into some inexplicable, mysterious, and dangerous knowledge.

Therefore, the correct approach is to understand the rules of this world and then use 'magic' as the foundation to deduce cultivation methods.

Otherwise, what one ultimately achieves is nothing more than an indescribable 'immortal form'.

Secondly, there's the apostle of original sin himself.

As Daphne mentioned before, some of these original sin apostles possess incredible abilities.

The one he encountered tonight must be one of them.

Ye Tu looked at the two dark purple beads covered with mysterious patterns in his hand.

"【The Hidden Eye】"

As the name suggests, this is an ability to see the 'secrets' of others.

In a way, this ability is the culprit that led Cyril to become the way he is today.

He may have had some feelings for Irene Wett before, but never to the point of being so obsessive, even to the point of being pathologically insane.

As for why Lyle did this...

He found it very interesting.

Although there was another Apostle of Original Sin behind him who wanted to use Cyril to test the attitude of the Lord of Dawn, Lyle did all this simply because it was 'fun'.

Just recently, in order to have fun, he forced three families' fathers and sons to kill each other.

Watching a high-ranking archbishop, who was devoted to serving God, become corrupt and degenerate is a fascinating thing in itself.

Essentially, Lyle is a rather awful, frivolous person.

His tragic death was a fitting retribution for all his evil deeds over the years.

He clasped his hands together to put away the purple bead, then glanced once more at the outside of the holy city of Loser.

Although it was an accident, the other guy was also affected by the Daoist essence, so he must be feeling terrible.

Moreover, the contamination he received is itself a kind of 'mark'; if you want to find him again...

Ha ha.

Immediately, Ye Tu turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing at the end of the street.

But outside the city.

In a strange forest filled with gray-black mist, a figure is rushing rapidly into the depths of the forest.

An inexplicable Daoist aura circulated around him, a crack between his brows opened and closed repeatedly, as if an eyeball was about to pop out of it, and the skin below his neck writhed constantly, as if it would peel off from his flesh at any moment and transform into a feathered robe.

Immortal Path?

What the hell did Lyle encounter?!

……

……

"Wow, you're here so early."

Ivia hummed a little tune, her steps light and quick, carrying data collection tools in one hand and a Dawn Crown Flower in the other.

She seems to be in a very good mood today.

"You're late," Irene Vitte said calmly.

According to the agreed time, she should have arrived at Ye Tu's place ten minutes ago.

"I encountered a little trouble on the way and was delayed."

Ivia answered casually and placed the briefcase containing her tools on the table.

"You probably don't have anything urgent to do, right?"

"..."

I'm busy going back to my spiritual practice.

These past few days, through the 'cultivation method' taught by Ye Tu, she has converted one percent of her own magical power.

Although the total amount and intensity have not changed, scheduling and use have become easier, and there is also a change that she cannot explain.

how to say……

She had a feeling that even if she lost [Frostfeather] later, the converted magic power would not be affected in any way.

"Let's get started as soon as possible."

It's no use saying anything; Ivia is an outgoing person.

I've only known her for a few days, but I'm already being quite casual with her.

We'll be working together for another six months.

"Yes, yes! Coming right away!"

Ivia carefully placed the Dawn Crown Flower aside before opening the briefcase containing her tools.

"What's going on with these flowers?" Ye Tu asked.

I finally asked!

"Hehe! A little girl on the street saw that I was pretty and gave it to me."

That's what caused her to be delayed.

Not all the regional knights in this country are mentally unstable!

There are still normal people!

That little girl has great taste.

b(￣▽￣)d

My previous view of the Dawn Empire was too one-sided.

“They’re just trying to scam you out of your money,” Irene Vetter said calmly.

Ivia was taken aback:

"Impossible! She gave me these flowers as a gift, and she didn't even ask me for money!"

Did you end up paying?

"..."

There was a long silence.

"She wouldn't lie to me anyway!"

"Similar things..."

"Stop talking! Stop talking!"

In such a bizarre country, I've finally met a 'normal person' who isn't a regional knight, can't I just be happy for a moment?!

Worried that she might not be able to accept the truth, Ivy changed the subject.

"Ye Tu, what's that in your hand?"

As soon as she entered, she saw the two round beads covered with mysterious patterns in Ye Tu's hand.

It must be some kind of treasure, right?

"This?" Ye Tu tossed the [Hidden Eye] in his hand. "Last night when I came back, I encountered someone who had committed suicide, so I picked up his eyeballs."

(???)

What is that?

Eyeballs?

"You must be joking."

Irene Wet, standing to the side, noticed something was amiss.

That eyeball...

Why does it remind her of that 'desire-driven' ring from before?

"Is it the person who had contact with Cyril?"

"Yes."

After returning home last night, Ye Tu sorted through Lyle's fragmented memories that had been washed away.

Lyle was originally just a wandering bard.

Seven years ago, by chance, he stumbled into an ancient god's ruins and discovered a portrait painting with missing eyes in a castle within the ruins.

And then...

He himself had no idea what exactly happened.

In short, after waking up from his coma, the entire ancient god ruins had disappeared, and he had gained the ability called the [Hidden Eye].

With this ability, he became very successful, but his mentality also became increasingly twisted and perverse.

Until five years ago, he met his current accomplice.

The other party was an extremely special Apostle of Original Sin; more accurately, that person didn't consider themselves an Apostle of Original Sin at all, but rather...

Original sin: Greed.

Chapter 21 is truly mind-boggling.

Original sin: Greed.

It sounds much more prestigious than the usual Apostles of Original Sin.

And that is indeed the case.

Even the most ordinary Apostles of Original Sin, even if they possess special abilities, can only have one at most.

This is the consensus of all apostles of original sin.

But this original sin, greed, is different; Lyle has seen three of its special abilities.

Moreover, his condition was different from that of ordinary apostles of original sin.

Actually, the group of Apostles of Original Sin...

Although they are stronger than other extraordinary professionals of the same level, they all have some psychological problems due to their mad pursuit of the authority of the 'Ancient God'.

They often act erratically and sometimes can't even control themselves.

But the original sin, greed, is not.

Looking back on Lyle's memory, from their first meeting to their last meeting yesterday noon.

For several years, Original Sin Greed has never lost his composure, remaining so calm that he doesn't seem like an Original Sin apostle who pursues the authority of the 'Ancient Gods'.

"Did Cyril send him to cause you trouble?" Irene Vitte frowned.

Ye Tu was attacked last night without his knowledge...

If this is indeed someone Cyril sent to cause trouble, then I have failed in my duty.

She had previously promised to shield Ye Tu from some unnecessary trouble.

“No.” Ye Tu shook his head slightly. “It has nothing to do with Cyril.”

Lyle came to the holy city of Loser this time because Original Sin, Greed, invited him as a reward for 'acquiring more special abilities'.

As for the purpose...

Original Sin - Greed seemed to be deliberately concealed, and Lyle wasn't entirely clear on the details. He only knew that he wanted to ascertain the Lord of Dawn's attitude through Cyril's condition.

"He didn't intend to cause me any trouble last night either."

Although he hesitated, Lyle ultimately wanted to leave.
