The Fool Klein slowly surveyed the area and didn't explain as everyone had expected. Instead, he stopped sighing and asked a question with a smile.
"Where do you think the source of the twenty-two Beyonder pathways is?"
This was one of the three core questions of Mysticism, and there had never been a publicly acknowledged answer. Every sect had their own theories, and no one could convince the others.
Cattleya deliberated for a moment before replying, "Yes.
"The essence of World is knowledge. The essence of knowledge is number. Humans are number. The Beyonder characteristics of the twenty-two pathways are also number. Everything is number. It has been that way since birth."
What she gave was the theory of the Moses Ascetic Order, but it was not equivalent to her own opinion.
"The seven Churches believe that Beyonder characteristics originate from the original Creator. 'He' incarnated all things, including deities, humans, the sea, land, and Beyonder characteristics." Leonard gave a simple description. "Of course, this is only for deacons and above. Official Beyonders below Sequence 6 don't need to know so much."
Then, he glanced at Emlyn.
"The Life School of Thought believes that the World is divided into three levels — the World of Matter, the World of the Soul, and the World of Absolute Rationality. Beyonder characteristics are the projections of certain things in the World of Absolute Rationality in the World of Matter and the World of the Soul. Therefore, characteristics aren't destroyed and can only be reassembled."
From the looks of it, the absolute rational World that the Life School of Thought promotes might be something represented by the River of Destiny … The Fool Klein thought of Will Auceptin, but he remained silent and didn't interrupt the conversation between the Tarot members.
Emlyn looked back at The Star and said, "That's right.
"As one of the rulers of the Second Epoch, we Sanguine believe that Beyonder characteristics do originate from the original Creator. Then, the accumulation of different characteristics gave birth to the ancient gods, and the ancient gods created different races."
This was the Sanguine's explanation of the First Epoch, and Emlyn already had some doubts about it. After all, he had come into contact with many secrets on the Tarot.
The Hanging Man Alger nodded slightly.
"Although there are many explanations for the origins of Beyonder characteristics, most of them point to the original creator. It's the same for the orthodox Churches, the Aurora Order, and the City of Silver."
"In other words, it's common knowledge that Beyonder characteristics originate from the original Creator?" Audrey asked thoughtfully.
Psychological Alchemy mainly studied the World of the Mind and the sea of collective subconscious. It lacked a complete theoretical explanation for the origins of Beyonder characteristics.
"Something like that." The Hanging Man Alger didn't hide his opinion.
At this moment, The Fool Klein said with a sigh, "That's right.
"Not everything."
He did not give a lengthy explanation, only giving a relatively vague answer.
Not all of them … Mr. Fool means that the Beyonder characteristics do originate from the original Creator, but not all of them. A small number of them are special cases? This is the reason for the special existence of the Planter and Moon pathway? The Hanging Man Alger instantly thought of many things and grasped the crux of the problem.
As this matter had nothing to do with her, Magicians Fors had been listening leisurely by the side.
At this moment, she asked curiously, "Honorable Mr. Fool, you seem to mean that most Beyonder characteristics originate from the original Creator, and the Planter and Moon pathway are exceptions. Then, where do they come from?"
The Fool Klein said rather succinctly, "The cosmos."
"The cosmos …"
Cosmos … Emlyn was alarmed when he heard that. He realized that the matter might be more serious than he had imagined.
The Tarot had already shared the corruption of the underground and the dangers of the cosmos. All members knew that just understanding these two concepts would lead to corruption.
When Audrey, The Hermit Cattleya, and company looked at each other, The Fool Klein maintained his sigh and added, "It's not just these two.
It's not just these two. "
He had been communicating with the Seven Lights all this time. He had already confirmed that six of the twenty-two Beyonder pathways belonged to the Outer Deities.
"Honorable Mr. Fool, who else came from the cosmos?" Audrey habitually raised her hand and asked warily and curiously.
The Fool Klein replied succinctly, "That's right.
"'Prisoner', 'Criminal', 'Lawyer', 'Arbitrator'."
The first two came from the Mother Tree of Desire, while the latter two, together with the Nation of Disorder, came from the Son of Chaos.
— Chaos breeds Order, and Order carries its own shadow.
Arbiter … Magicians Fors turned her head in surprise and glanced at Xio.
Just a moment ago, she thought that this matter had nothing to do with her and that she could just watch from the sidelines without worrying. Who knew that the fire would burn to her doorstep.
Xio frowned slightly and looked at the end of the long bronze table.
"Honorable Mr. Fool, I usually don't sense anything abnormal, nor have I received a divine revelation. Yes, it's from someone other than you."
The Fool Klein smiled.
"'Arbiter' and 'Lawyer' are relatively good."
Based on his understanding, the Son of Chaos didn't have a deep influence on the Arbiter and Lawyer pathways. It was completely incomparable to the Mother Goddess of Depravity's influence on the Moon and Planter pathways, or the Mother Tree of Desire's influence on the Criminal and Prisoner pathways. This Outer God was so quiet that it was as though she had vanished.
Magicians Fors and Xio secretly heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, they became more wary of the future.
Seeing that Mr. Fool didn't explain further, Emlyn organized his thoughts and said, "That's right.
The uniqueness of the Planter and Moon pathway comes from the cosmos. The divine revelation they sensed might very well be a form of corruption?
The Hanging Man Alger looked at Mr. Fool at the end of the long, mottled table. Seeing that "He" had no intention of speaking, he nodded.
"Something like that."
This is a test for me … Emlyn sighed inwardly and said, "I've already grasped the names of the High-Sequence potions of the Planter and Moon pathways.
"I've already grasped the names of the High-Sequence potions of the Planter and Moon pathways. I'm a little puzzled about two of them."
After becoming a Sanguine Earl and a high-ranking deacon of the Church of Earth God, he had obtained the corresponding authority. He could access a lot of information that he couldn't have access to in the past.
Seeing the other Tarot members look over, World German Sparrow raised his hand to pinch his chin.
Emlyn said in thought, "The Moon pathway's Sequence 3 is Summoner, Sequence 2 is Creator, and Sequence 1 is Beauty Goddess. The Planter pathway's Sequence 3 is Coffin Bearer, Sequence 2 is Desolate Matriarch, and Sequence 1 is Naturewalker.
"What I'm more puzzled about is that the two potion names, Beauty Goddess and Desolate Matriarch, have a certain gender orientation. What do you think?"
"…" For a moment, none of the other Tarot members spoke. They looked at each other and thought of a possibility.
After a few seconds, Audrey controlled her gaze and deliberated over her tone.
"I remember that Sequence 7 of the Assassin pathway is called Witch. Assassins who consume this potion will eventually become Witches."
… This is … a test … for me … Emlyn's lips moved slightly, but he couldn't say a word.
When he saw the potion's name, he already had a certain premonition, but he wasn't willing to accept it. He hoped that he could obtain another explanation on the Tarot.
Don't worry, there's a high chance that you won't become an angel. Even if you can, you won't have the chance to become a Beauty Goddess … Klein mumbled inwardly, but he didn't say these words of "comfort."
The scene fell silent for a moment. Leonard coughed and took the initiative to speak.
"I have something to share."
He spoke unhurriedly about the wandering magician Merlin Hermes, the overnight reconstruction of Constant City, the Fully Automatic Wishing Machine, and other matters.
As he spoke, he didn't hide his glance at The World Klein.
The corners of Klein's mouth twitched slightly as he made The World German Sparrow look ahead.
"I'll be leaving the east coast of Midseashire in the near future."
Eh … This was all done by Mr. World? Is he already capable of creating such miracles? As expected of an angel. It's "Him" … Audrey recalled the information shared by Mr. Gluttony, the Psychological Alchemy councilor, and was momentarily surprised and amazed.
She didn't use her Spectator powers to hide her reaction, because everyone showed the same emotions, except for Mr. Star, who clearly knew about it.
Merlin Hermes … Wandering Magicians … Fors memorized the name in her mind and secretly decided to distance herself as much as possible when she heard the name in the future.
This wasn't to say that she was still that afraid of German Sparrow, but that she had realized something.
The surroundings of German Sparrow definitely wouldn't be peaceful. There would always be something happening.
Of course, a little instinctive fear was inevitable. It was just like how the "fear" planted in one's childhood would remain after one grew up.
Fulfilling wishes for pleasure … Fully Automatic Wishing Machine … Is this the acting of The World German Sparrow? The Hanging Man Alger and The Hermit Cattleya had similar thoughts at the same time before they thought of something:
Ever since a while ago, Mr. Fool had gotten everyone to make a wish while praying, and he would grant "His" wish.
Is "He" helping The World digest the potion, or is "He" from the same pathway as The World? After his awakening, "He" also showed similar characteristics? Little Sun previously said that Mr. Fool had performed a miracle, allowing the people of an entire city to be moved from the Forsaken Land of the Gods to outside Bayam … With The World German Sparrow still acting, this shouldn't be something he can do … The Hanging Man Alger nodded indiscernibly, having a guess as to Mr. Fool's pathway.
About to leave the east coast of Midseashire? Then, my investigations will be even easier. I can just randomly come up with a conclusion. At most, I'll just write that German Sparrow has become a Miracle Invoker and is acting … Anyway, I already know what I need to know … Leonard mumbled silently and didn't ask further.
At this moment, The World Gehrman Sparrow surveyed the area and said, "That's right.
"What do you know about King of the Black Throne, Barros Hopkins?"
