To run for the Sorcerer King, the first thing that was needed was prestige.
The so-called prestige, according to the current standards of the Sorcerers World, was to obtain the support of no less than one billion official Sorcerers, three thousand Stigmata Sorcerers, and four Celestial Sorcerers, all three conditions were indispensable.
Low-level official Sorcerers knew relatively little about Celestial Sorcerers. Although the number requirement was one billion, it was nothing compared to the total number of official Sorcerers today. If a large number of resources could be used with the help of Sorcerer Families and Sorcerer Merchants, it would not be difficult to obtain one billion votes on Skynet. This was also the easiest condition to achieve among the prestige conditions. It could be regarded as a universal benefit from high-level Sorcerers to low-level Sorcerers.
As for the condition of three thousand Stigmata Sorcerers' votes, it was relatively more difficult.
Although after Grimm's Sorcerer Ancestral Law, various factions of Sorcerers in the Sorcerers World were integrated, and the former phenomenon of competition and exclusion between different factions of Sorcerers was greatly weakened, that was only in the low-level Sorcerers. In the Stigmata Sorcerers' domain, there was still a considerable residual consciousness. In addition, the Stigmata Sorcerers' understanding of Celestial Sorcerers was far better than that of low-level official Sorcerers. Resources would not be too scarce, and they would not waste their subjective votes for some small benefits. Therefore, whether or not they could obtain the prestige votes of the Stigmata Sorcerers also indirectly symbolized whether the Stigmata Sorcerers had the strength to run for the next Sorcerer King.
And this was also the goal of Grimm's second disciple, Black Iso, and third disciple, Anton Seymour.
Finally, the most difficult thing was to obtain the votes of at least four Celestial Sorcerers in the Sorcerer King election.
Among the Celestial Sorcerers, there was a deep understanding of each other, and the relationship of interests was great. The development of thinking and consciousness was inevitably biased, coupled with different ideals and goals. The most important thing was that while obtaining the support of the Celestial Sorcerers, it meant that the supporters would give up the election. The stakes were self-evident, and it also idle the number of candidates for the Sorcerer King election. Therefore, this was the most difficult condition for the prestige of the Sorcerer King election.
If Grimm's second disciple, Black Iso, still had a glimmer of hope in this condition, then there was no doubt that Anton Seymour had no hope at all.
On the outside, all the sorcerers of the Sorcerers World were celebrating and cheering for the election of the Sorcerer King. They were cheering for the glory of the Sorcerers World. However, in the heart of the Sorcerers World, Grimm, whose entire body was covered in a blue brilliance, had given up on all the sorcery tools and was waiting alone.
While Grimm gave up on the enhancement of these Sorcerer Tools, he also avoided the influence of the Endless World's dimensional square-shaped origin runes to the greatest extent. Just like that, he quietly stayed in the Sorcerer World's Heart, guarding the Sorcerer King's Truth Set.
In front of Grimm, Little Eight, who was in the form of a child's drawing, had a blank look in her eyes. She had turned from the once lively and lifelike Myna into a stiff and distorted child's drawing, motionless.
"Little Eight?"
After Grimm injected a sliver of azure light into Little Eight's body, he tried to call out to her. However, there was still no response. Grimm did not know how many times he had tried this.
Sigh …
Sighing, Grimm reached out and placed Little Eight back on his shoulder.
Little Eight's situation was very much like a high-level curse of the ancient sorcerers. The effect was to seal a creature's self-awareness in the depths of their spiritual power, which was to put them in a vegetative state.
For any creature, consciousness and spiritual power were one. Spiritual power was connected to the energy and matter of the Endless World and controlled the body, while consciousness was the essence of the creature. It was a small selection of judgment square-shaped origin runes that were accumulated on the basis of memory.
If Little Eight was really like this, just the separation of consciousness and spiritual power would be a piece of cake for Grimm. However, the real problem was probably much more difficult than Grimm had imagined.
This was because Grimm had not discovered Little Eight's consciousness at all!
Could it be that Little Eight had already died due to some reason?!
However, through the perception of their soul connection, Grimm could sense that Little Eight was still alive. The biggest problem probably stemmed from Little Eight's extraordinary life characteristics. Because she was a strange lifeform created by Antonio, although Grimm had done considerable research on Little Eight, the most in-depth research was limited to the Page of Destiny that Antonio had left in Little Eight's body. So far, Grimm had not truly understood the true meaning of those letters of the Light of Wisdom that Antonio had left behind.
Involuntarily, Grimm recalled the scene of him searching for the Page of Destiny in Little Eight's stomach in the depths of the Dimensional Gap.
At that time, according to Antonio's guidance, Grimm had reached the deepest part of the Dimensional Gap, which was Little Eight's stomach.
The illusion of light and darkness formed the world of ordinary people. He was like a ghost walking in the world of ordinary people, but he could not make any changes.
As the white-skinned little boy gradually materialized and became clearer, he did not know why, but he had an incomparably absurd feeling.
He hated him very much!
"That kind of disgust?"
Grimm, who was deep in thought within the Sorcerer World Core, mumbled to himself. He could still recall the disgust he felt for Little Myna. It was just like the first time he met Little Myna. Back then, Myna's arrogant, smelly mouth made him feel disgusted as well. Even though the two of them had gotten used to each other and had gotten along well with each other, if Grimm were to search for a similar feeling, he would only find the two of them to be extremely similar.
"Could it be that there's some secret behind this?"
It had to be said that the truth that Grimm was currently exploring was too profound and mysterious. It was close to superstition, similar to philosophy. It had already risen to the level of specious conjecture. There was a fine line between a lunatic and a genius.
As the azure light frowned in thought, Grimm continued to recall the scenes from that time, the hint that Antonio had left in Little Eight's stomach, the secret that could not be directly expressed.
There was no reason for that kind of disgust, as if it was instinctive. This disgust had even risen to the level of hatred.
The white-skinned boy was about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was not tall, and his skin was very smooth. He had a pair of eyes that were filled with wisdom but also timidity. As a Magus who had lived for countless years, Grimm could almost instantly identify the boy's inferiority complex.
Seeing the boy's inferiority complex, the disgust and hatred in the depths of his heart became even more obvious, to the point where he could not help but explode.
At that time, he closed and opened his eyes to control his emotions, trying his best not to let them affect him. He only watched everything calmly from the perspective of a bystander, waiting for the clues to the Page of Destiny that Antonio had left here.
After that, he discovered some abnormalities.
Everything in the room, including the scenery outside the room, seemed to be in a building with four to five floors. Looking over, everything seemed to be covered by a thin layer of gauze, and could not be seen clearly.
Other than the little boy, the clothes he was wearing and the pen in his hand, everything else was a layer of illusion. He could feel them, but they were so unreal, like things in a conference dream. He knew their attributes, knew their uses, and knew their functions, but he did not have a specific image of them because he had never really seen them. They were just things that he had imagined. In the world of the mind, he only needed to know that they appeared to make his subconscious think that it was reasonable. In other words, it was very likely that it was a dream or the influence of other people's memories.
Only one thing was clear, and that was the paper that the little boy had written on. Did this mean that this paper had really appeared before?
This piece of paper represented the Page of Destiny!
Through the Page of Destiny, the relationship between the higher and lower latitudes, what did it represent? What made Antonio place the Page of Destiny in the illusion in Little Eight's stomach? Was there a reason to hide it from Little Eight?
