After circling the primitive island three times, the Dawn finally sailed into the distance that was shrouded in a storm.
Bernadette slowly retracted her gaze and cast it on the Sage Frontlet that was floating in the air.
As a Clairvoyant, she clearly saw the opportunity to advance. She knew that she had completed the corresponding ritual and prevented a disaster that involved a high-level power.
However, the price was to personally seal her father, the father that she had missed and sought for more than a hundred years.
"What a wonderful irony …" Bernadette looked at the vertical eye embedded with diamonds and sighed inaudibly.
After leaving Intis, she had two main wishes. First, she wanted to investigate the truth of the matter and see if she had misunderstood her father. Second, she wanted to follow the footprints left behind by her father to see what he had experienced and if it was possible for him to be resurrected.
Bernadette had already completed her first wish. The truth was that she had indeed misunderstood her father. This made her feel less pain and less conflicted. Her hatred for her father had completely dissipated, but it also added a lot of guilt to her.
With such guilt and longing, she worked hard to fulfill her second wish, but the final outcome wasn't pleasant.
If there was no hope, she might not have such a huge emotional reaction. However, she had clearly seen the light and her father, but she had no choice but to personally make him return to his slumber.
After a moment of silence, Bernadette's slightly unfocused eyes became clear again.
She no longer hesitated, nor did she blame herself. She no longer had any negative emotions. She resolutely raised her right hand and outlined ancient words that shimmered with starlight in the void. She summoned the spirit world creature that had the upper body of a human and the lower body of a wind. She then took back some of the supplementary ingredients for the Sage potion from it.
As for the remaining parts, since there was no need to preserve them, they were stored in the Dawn's collection room.
Before long, Bernadette used Pale Death to shatter the Sage Frontlet and concoct the potion that could advance her to Sequence 2.
Looking at the bubbling Sage potion, with each bubble hiding a transparent eye, Bernadette raised her right hand with a determined expression and brought the glass bottle to her mouth.
She knew that what she needed at this moment wasn't sadness or sentimentality, but a firm heart and the will to advance. This was because to help her father, Rosell The Great, escape the corruption and completely revive him, she needed a higher Sequence and greater strength.
For this, she was willing to bury the pain in the deepest part of her heart and not let it affect her mental state. Only at night when there was no one around would she dig it out and savor it alone.
As the Sage potion entered her mouth, Bernadette's body turned illusory at a visible speed.
She broke down into waves of complicated knowledge, transforming into a torrent of information.
The entire "Dawn", as well as the surrounding wind, storm, lightning, seawater, and waves, lost their sense of reality, as if they had been restored to the most basic and authentic information.
To most Sequence 3 Beyonders of the Mystery Pryer pathway, such a state was extremely dangerous. If their willpower wasn't firm enough, their luck wasn't good enough, and they weren't sufficiently prepared, the torrent of knowledge that they had transformed into would be infiltrated, washed away, and assimilated by all kinds of external information in a matter of seconds. They would quickly lose their consciousness and would no longer be able to reconstruct their bodies. They would become a very strange and difficult monster in mysticism.
Knowledge fairy!
This was also known as an Information Creature.
Bernadette had relied on the Sage Frontlet to transform into a torrent of information many times. Although it was limited to two to three seconds and couldn't be maintained for too long, she still had some experience. At that moment, she was trying her best to maintain the existence of her consciousness and establish a certain connection with the information in the spirit world that prevented a high-level disaster from happening.
The information had a clear imprint of her, and it involved a very high level of information. It appeared abnormally "solid," preventing it from being dispersed by other information in a short period of time. It helped her stabilize her consciousness as she slowly gathered the dissipating torrent of information from her main body.
During this process, Klein, who was above the gray fog, used a specially marked prayer point of light to tap the edge of the long mottled table. Using a Miracle Invoker's ability to change the probability of certain things and actions to a certain extent, he bestowed Bernadette with a certain amount of good luck.
Time ticked by. Bernadette lingered on the edge of losing consciousness several times, but she eventually managed to hold on. She gathered all the information that belonged to her and began to reconstruct her body.
At that moment, she could gradually sense Admiral of Stars Cattleya's concern. She could sense the members of the Element Dawn, as well as her crew and sailors, praying daily.
This made her condition more stable, allowing her to resist the ancient will that was slowly being produced in her body.
At that moment, a wave of secret information came out of nowhere, attempting to fuse with Bernadette while she was reconstructing her body.
This was an interference from the Hidden Sage!
As an embodiment of this World's knowledge and information, as a Sequence 0 of the Mystery Pryer pathway, the Hidden Sage could exert a certain amount of influence on Beyonders of the same pathway that were lower than him.
Without giving Bernadette a chance to use the pale-white mask, the "curtain" draped over Klein's shoulders gently lifted.
Around Bernadette, spacetime distorted, isolating the area she was in from the outside world. Even information couldn't be exchanged.
Grabbing this sudden moment of peace, Bernadette completely reconstructed her body, and with the help of her anchor, she managed to balance the terrifying will that was produced in her body.
At that moment, she had truly become "Him," a Sequence 2 angel of the Mystery Pryer pathway. She was an important figure that the mysterious World could address as a "hidden existence."
Immediately after, she saw the distorted space-time around her return to normal, and she saw waves of secret information surging toward her.
She then stretched out her right hand and easily grasped the information, extracting the useful knowledge contained within.
Just as Bernadette was about to return to the real world from the spirit world, an orange beam of light suddenly appeared in front of her.
This light instantly condensed into a chubby old man with a short white beard.
The old man smiled and said,
"Ma 'am, I'm Orange Light Hilarion."
Orange Light … Bernadette was puzzled. She didn't understand why Orange Light Hilarion would appear in front of her. The two of them hadn't interacted much before this.
As the leader of the Element Dawn and a former Mysticologist, she wasn't unfamiliar with the Seven Lights in the spirit world. She had even grasped how to pray to the Seven Lights and obtain the corresponding guidance from the ritual. She knew that the seven pure lights were a certain symbol of the spirit world, containing endless knowledge from different domains. Her level had definitely reached the level of an angel.
Orange Light Hilarion added with a smile:
"A great existence wants me to inform you of the knowledge regarding the Great Old Ones, the Outer Deities, and the cosmos, so that you can have a more accurate grasp of this World's state and the corresponding corruption."
"Which existence?" Bernadette asked in puzzlement and caution.
She had vaguely guessed the answer, but she still found it unbelievable. After all, the Seven Lights of the spirit world were also important figures in the mysterious World. Even a Sequence 0 true deity wouldn't find it easy to order "Them" around.
Orange Light Hilarion chuckled and replied:
"The great ruler above the spirit world."
The great ruler above the spirit world … Bernadette repeated this honorific name as her thoughts surged.
Hilarion glanced at her and smiled.
"'He' also has another honorific title:
"Mr. Fool."
…
In a particular sea region, on the Future that was traversing a safe sea route.
Cattleya suddenly jolted awake from her dream as her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
In her dream, she saw the Queen fall to the ground covered in blood. Her chest had been torn open, and a baby-like monster had crawled out.
As a Mysticologist, one who had advanced to Mysticologist with a drop of the Snake of Fate's blood, Cattleya believed that her dream wasn't without reason. It was definitely an omen.
And clearly, what she had just had wasn't a good dream.
Feeling unsettled, Cattleya sat up and put on her cloak. She attempted to pray to Mr. Fool, hoping that this great existence could give her some hints or protect the Queen.
Soon, a scene appeared in front of her eyes:
Queen Mystic Bernadette walked out of the spirit world and returned to the Dawn, allowing the ship to gradually distance itself from the nameless island that could be vaguely seen.
Cattleya immediately heaved a sigh of relief and sincerely thanked Mr. Fool.
After praying, she was in an extremely good mood. She opened the window of the captain's cabin, allowing the starlight to condense into a long bridge that landed on the deck.
She then put on her rather heavy glasses and walked along the resplendent bridge of starlight to the deck, leisurely strolling in the quiet atmosphere of the night.
When she reached the bow of the ship, Cattleya saw Frank Lee fiddling with some bottles.
"W-what are you doing?" Cattleya unknowingly frowned.
Frank raised his head and smiled brightly as he said,
"My previous idea encountered a setback, and I can't proceed with it for the time being. I asked Nina to get me some soil from the bottom of the sea to study the microorganisms contained in it."
At this point, Frank said with a look of longing, "I've encountered a setback in my previous idea.
I want to go to the depths of the North Sea or the Arctic World to take a look during my next vacation. There might be ancient microorganisms from the Fourth Epoch, the Third Epoch, or even the Second Epoch or the First Epoch buried under the thick ice. I can gain a lot from that. "
You won't have a vacation for the time being … Cattleya silently said in her heart.
…
Klein conjured a box and placed the four Cards of Blasphemy inside. After sealing them, he immediately returned to the real World and headed straight for the nearest Evernight cathedral.
He planned on informing the Evernight Goddess of the hidden dangers of the Cards of Blasphemy in the form of a prayer, reminding "Her" to pay attention to the relevant problems and not let Earth Mother, Lilith, obtain the Mother card or the Moon card.
