The reason why he called it 'that thing' was because Russell himself was not clear about its condition and the measures for safekeeping.
Thanks to Catherine's outstanding safekeeping and sealing, other than knowing that it was extremely dangerous, Russell was completely clueless about the rest of the information.
Moreover, he didn't have the slightest interest in understanding or getting close to those things that were his natural enemy.
Even if it had the most shameless army and the most versatile ability in Celestial genealogy, the Twilight system still had a weakness — the ascendant themselves.
The miracle that originated from the Norse gods was too tyrannical and huge, causing the ascendant themselves to be greatly affected. There would be deviations in their personality and consciousness.
To put it simply, the higher one went, the more they would become like the Norse gods …
For example, for an old bastard like Russell, he did not care if he was disliked or not. After all, no one could kill him. However, the path of transformation was different, especially that thing. It affected and interfered with the soul. Even Russell himself might not be able to withstand it.
He wanted to stay as far away from that thing as possible.
Why would he still ask about it?
"Don't think that everyone is like you, Russell."
Catherine shook her head unhappily. "Children always like to think that they are omnipotent. That's why they are always asking for trouble. It's just that sometimes, some of the suffering is more painful than what they expect. "
Russell was stunned for a long time and was stunned.
"… Don't tell me that she dared to raise her head during the advancement ceremony. Didn't you tell her the consequences?"
"There's a red button in front of people. No matter how serious the consequences are, some naughty children can't help but be naughty."
Catherine sighed softly. "It's just a glance, a touch, and a little bit of raising her head. It doesn't matter. It's irreverence, curiosity, or the so-called rebellious period.
Sometimes, it would lead to irreversible consequences. Sometimes, it would lead to irreversible consequences.
The more talented a child is, the more they will think that they can pay for all the consequences. However, things are not always like this. This is the fault of my education. "
"The end result is that the evil in her nature is magnified thousands of times. As the price, kindness becomes so thin. Even if we send her to the Inquisition and restrict her with the rules, we won't be able to suppress her self-destructive tendencies and lethality, will we? "
Russell shook his head. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "What if I ask Huai Shi to bring her part back?"
"…"
Catherine was silent for a long time. She turned around and looked at Russell. Her expression was disappointed and angry. "Don't tell me that you don't know the consequences."
"That's why I suggested it."
Russell replied nonchalantly, "Let's give it a try. Everything in this world has to be tried … Otherwise, when she evolves into a Koosche, everything will be irreversible."
"Asking a young man to make an irrevocable sacrifice in order to correct another person's mistake, only to end up with nothing in the end? Russell, is your brain still clear? "
Russell smiled. "I have confidence in him."
"If you're not afraid of losing your disciple, you can give it a try."
Catherine asked coldly, "But what's the price? Russell, let me tell you the price —"
"Back then, the Republic left sixteen armory in the Russian Federation. All the border relics and weapons, as well as the two miraculous engravings … They should have been under your care all these years, right?
Those should have belonged to Celestial genealogy. "
Russell said, "They'll all belong to me."
"Impossible!"
Catherine retorted indifferently. "You know very well that Anna isn't worth that much."
"No, in your heart, she's worth it."
Russell shook his head in understanding. He gazed at his former love and said with a smile, "There's no need to hide it, Katja. In your heart, every one of your godson and goddaughter is much more important than a dusty and broken warehouse.
The reason why you're called Gaia of the Storm and the Godmother of the Russian Federation is not just because of your cold and harsh nature. As long as that child can smile at you again, you'll feel that it's worth it no matter what you pay. "
In the long silence, Catherine closed her eyes.
She sighed silently.
"Russell."
"Yes?"
"Becoming your student is the greatest misfortune of his life."
"On the contrary."
The old man put his hands in his pockets and raised his eyebrows happily. "Although I'm not his greatest misfortune, he's definitely one of my greatest blessings."
.

In the corner of the restaurant, as the stew pot bubbled with steam, Huai Shi heard from Alexis the reason for Anna's soul's aberration.
No, rather than aberration, it was more accurate to say that it was incomplete.
It was as if he saw half a person walking on the street alive and kicking, but he had no idea where the other half went. He didn't understand how such a bizarre imagination could exist.
"The Black God and the White God? “
He scratched his head. "The Slavic Gods are really cruel."
"The barren land and the long winter. The people and Gods of this land never liked the weak and despised the weak. It's better to say that before the arrival of the Holy Spirit Genealogy, this had always been a place of natural selection. It's the same for the Gods. "
Alexis crossed his hands and calmly replied, "Although the Celestial genealogy is different, the source of the Path of Transformation comes from here. It's also a part of the Black God and the White God."
Since they had embarked on this path, they would inevitably be influenced and interfered with by their superiors.
Just like the tacit understanding and affinity between Huai Shi and Balder.
While they were attracted to each other, they would also unknowingly usher in changes.
And the Gods were not something as simple as the Stigmata. They had an even greater existence and countless shadows. The miracles that humans could observe were only their reflections on the ground.
Therefore, there were also many incarnations.
Just like the Frost Father, there was a harsh and cold front, as well as the image of Grandfather Frost, who was like an old man, and even the legend of the original 'Snow Maiden', who served the Frost Maiden.
Back then, when the guys from the Pioneer Society collected the source books from all over the world for 'crowdfunding,' they naturally wouldn't miss the miracle that had been rooted in this land for many years.
At that time, what the Slavic genealogy gave up was the miracle of the White God Beloberg and the Black God Chernaburg.
Black and white, day and night, good and evil.
In the end, what was formed was the Path of Transformation of the Celestial genealogy.
If the core of the Path of Heaven's Inquisition was to share, then its core was the essence of human nature!
After the fall of Heaven and the collapse of the Utopia, the last remnants of the Path of Transformation finally returned to this land under the protection of Catherine.
"Originally, Anna was the child that the bishop thought was the most promising. She became an ascender at the age of eight and completed the trial of the Templar Knight at the age of twelve.
Bishop Catherine wanted to send her to St. Petersburg to study, but she wasn't interested in the Holy Spirit genealogy. "
Alexis sighed. "In the end, she chose to follow her mother's path, but she became what she is today. After the malignant expansion, she was completely different from before. If the bishop hadn't sent her to the inquisition and restrained her by iron laws and dogma, she would have solidified long ago, right?
Sometimes, even she can't control what she does or says … Please don't blame her. "
"Who would take such a small matter to heart?"
Huai Shi shook his head and opened the lid of the pot. He sniffed the smell of the stew in the thick soup and put in two handfuls of basil leaves, stirring it. "It's ready to eat, Mr. Alexis. I still want to go out in the afternoon, so I'll have to trouble you to keep me company. "
"…"
Sensing Huai Shi's undisguised honesty, Alexis couldn't help but shake his head and laugh self-deprecatingly. He swallowed the words that he had prepared after racking his brains.
It seemed that he had wasted his efforts all this time.
From the beginning to the end, he probably didn't take Anna's offense to heart.
.
.
In the end, Huai Shi wasn't able to go out in the afternoon.
Russell, that old bastard who came out of nowhere, took his place!
"Huai Shi, I have an honorable task for you!" Russell said vehemently, "In order to save the Celestial genealogy, the organization has decided to let …"
"I can't afford to save it. ‘
Huai Shi clasped his hands and turned to leave without looking back.
However, just as he turned around and took a step, he found himself back at the same place. Russell was still smiling in front of him, full of the meaning of arrangement.
"You've been eyeing me, haven't you?" Huai Shi was angry. "How can you suddenly disappear for half a day, come back without saying anything, and order me around like a tool?"
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!"
Russell wasn't ashamed at all. "Isn't this something that only you can do?"
Good, something that even Russell didn't dare to do, it was definitely a trap!
Huai Shi became more alert. "What do you want me to do?"
"It's nothing. It's really not dangerous for you at all, trust me!" Russell put his arm around Huai Shi's shoulder and said enthusiastically, "It's just going to look for a mirror, there won't be any problems!"
I understand, there will definitely be problems, and if the problem can't be solved, the consequences will be very tragic!
Huai Shi perfectly understood what Russell meant.
"Simply put, it's to treat the illness and save people."
Russell announced his deal with Catherine without holding back. "You'll sacrifice your body and spirit, sell your body, and I'll get the armory and border relics left behind by the Republic in the Russian Federation. How about that? Isn't it a sure win? "
Yes, you're a sure win, but what about me?!
Huai Shi's eyes were about to roll to the sky.
"Then, let's get back to the topic."
Russell snapped his fingers and suddenly asked, "You should know about the seven and a half routes that Celestial genealogy has announced, right?"
Huai Shi was about to refuse, but when he heard his question, he was stunned for a moment and realized that he didn't seem to have paid attention to this problem.
Although he knew about it, it wasn't too deep.
He thought for a moment and counted with his fingers. "Dusk, Eternity, Spirit Marrow, Maintenance, Change, Paradise … and my Heaven's Inquisition?"
But there were only seven routes in total.
A total of seven and a half.
What about the remaining half?
Also, was there something not quite right about it?
Why were there so many ambiguous records in the Book of Destiny?
Just like that, while he was deep in thought, Huai Shi was unknowingly led by Russell into the elevator.
The metal door closed.
