Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 396 How did you know I was going to become a demigod?
On Earth in this mysterious world, there are nine sources of matter, which means that under ideal circumstances, nine Ancients could be born.

However, as everyone knows, the gap between ideals and reality is greater than the difference in power between a fool and an emperor.

Among them, the "Chaotic Sea," which corresponds to "God," and the "Source Castle," which corresponds to "Lord of Mysteries," are located underground and at the infinite heights of the spirit world, respectively.

The other seven primal substances were all sealed by the Lord of Mysteries in the Western Continent, which is Asia. The people there also relied on the primal substances to forge an extraordinary path of cultivation that did not depend on magic potions.

In the Western Continent, there are masters with titles such as Celestial Master, Heavenly Emperor, and Underworld Daoist, whose names are full of fantasy and immortal cultivation style.

"If the mysterious Qin Sheng travels directly to the Western Continent, it will actually be more advantageous for me, as I will be able to come into contact with the Origin Essence."

The cultivation in the Western Continent involves receiving ordination and merging with the Dao, directly drawing power from the source essence.

In the Southern and Northern Continents, taking magic potions to lay a solid foundation and gradually become a god before coming into contact with the source matter is an extremely dangerous thing, let alone the Western Continent where one can achieve this in one step.

However, Qin Sheng's situation was special; the dangers brought by the source essence far outweighed the benefits.

"When I become a true god in the future and want to obtain the source essence, the Heavenly Venerable Seal of the Western Continent will also be a problem. If I were a person from the Western Continent, I wouldn't have this problem."

Qin Sheng felt a little regretful, but then he didn't care too much, after all, it was just a matter of sooner or later.

"The competition in the 'Knowledge Wilderness' corresponding to the Secret Seekers is not great. Even if the flow of time in the Mysterious World suddenly becomes faster than that in the Shrouding the Heavens World in the future, I still have a good chance."

When Qin Sheng made his choice of sequence and determined his ultimate goal, he was clearly very thoughtful.

God and the Lord of Mysteries have no chance at all. The former has already been resurrected once in the ancient sun god, and four of God's five pathways contain the true god.

The remaining audience route also has a most troublesome one, the 2+1 Angel King—Adam.

In the time when the true gods resided entirely in their astral kingdom and did not walk among humans, Adam was more terrifying than any god.

Although there is no god among the three paths to becoming the Lord of Mysteries, it is more difficult for someone not placed in the Source Castle to become the Lord of Mysteries than to plot for the throne of God.

Even the gods cannot find the Source Castle.

The remaining ancient positions such as "Eternal Darkness," "God of the Root," and "Father of Demons" have either already been targeted by the true gods, or their progress is too far ahead, leaving no chance for later generations to overtake them, such as the Goddess of Night and the primal substance "River of Eternal Darkness."

Either the path itself is flawed, or it's not a path taken by humans, like a criminal's, a sequence that, with promotion, is destined to lead to the indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

Or it is closely related to the outer gods in the starry sky and is extremely dangerous. For example, the "Mother Nest" of the source matter is a part of the "Fallen Mother Goddess" that was torn apart.

Anyone who wants to embark on the path of the Mother Nest will inevitably clash with the Fallen Mother Goddess in the future. This is one of the three pillars of the mysterious world, and at its peak, it was on par with God and the Celestial Venerable.

Furthermore, both pathways corresponding to the Earth's Mother Nest will eventually cause men to transform into women...

The Wilderness of Knowledge is different; it is a completely independent source matter, belonging to no Outer God, and only needs to compete with Earthlings.

"This is the astonishing wisdom that I, with my mysterious nature, possess. It's a pity that I fell at the very beginning of my extraordinary path."

While Qin Sheng was pondering, Klein had already finished reading the two pages of the diary provided by Audrey. He felt that he had gained some insights, and then looked at the diary handed over by the Emperor.

"This should still be the diary that the Emperor obtained from the daughter of Emperor Roselle. Hopefully, it contains valuable information."

Klein felt a headache coming on whenever he thought about the diary Qin Sheng had submitted.

Logically speaking, the diary collected by the emperor's daughter should have been recorded at certain important moments. By observing Roselle's expressions and mental state through writing in the diary, one could have discerned certain things.

Therefore, the quality of Bernadette's diary should be very high.

Klein admitted that the diary given to him by the emperor did teach him some occult knowledge, but the emperor also had a lot of scandalous affairs!
"On May 1st, it turns out that after every extraordinary person dies, the potions they once took will condense into extraordinary properties and be extracted from their corpse."

"The extracted extraordinary properties are equivalent to a potion containing only the main ingredient in the corresponding sequence. Directly consuming these properties can also grant advancement and the corresponding extraordinary abilities, but it is easier to lose control this way."

"After learning this, my previous doubts were answered. I can only say that this is indeed a crazy world."

Upon seeing these words, Klein's pupils contracted slightly.

Advancement through eating the remains of the dead?
This made Klein, who had only become an Extraordinary being about a month ago, feel very uncomfortable.

"I'd better stick to potions from now on; extraordinary abilities aren't for me," the Fool silently decided.

Even if I, Klein, die, even if I die on the gray fog, or jump off from here, I will not suffer from the extraordinary nature of the dead.

There was more content after this page of the diary, and Klein continued reading.

"I've heard that many churches have relics of saints that suppress their seals, such as ashes or eyeballs. I suddenly had a thought: if I'm short of potions for advancement, stealing from churches or even directly robbing the relics might be a good option."

"Although it sounds crazy, extraordinary individuals are inherently associated with madness. When there is no hope of advancement but an urgent desire to go further, it is not surprising that they do anything. Whether it is a wild extraordinary individual with audacity or a traitor to the church, there are always people who would dare to do this."

"If I weren't the Son of Steam of the Steam Church, I would definitely fight for it when I had no way to advance. But if anyone dares to try and take the Steam Church now, I'll smash their head in!"

Seeing this, Klein was both amused and exasperated. "Who would be foolish enough to steal potions and extraordinary abilities from the church? There's only one transmigrator as reckless as you, Your Majesty."

As for forcibly seizing the relics of the saints from the church, Klein thought it was even more impossible. Who would dare to do such a thing? Wouldn't they be risking their lives?
"However, the ashes of Saint Selena are kept in the Night Church in Tingen City. She was a high-sequence powerhouse in life."

Russell's diary made Klein's thoughts wander. What if someone really came to steal Saint Selena's ashes?
Cold dish.

The Church of the Night and the Church of the War God are enemies, but the latter is forbidden from entering the Kingdom of Rune, and Klein cannot find any other church enemies.

"Wait, it seems that one of our archbishops from the Church of the Night did indeed defect, his name was... Ince Zangwell?"

Klein realized something. "He's a 'Gatekeeper,' which should be a sequence after the Corpse Collector path. As a former archbishop, he's very likely sequence 5."

"According to Emperor Roselle, the Sequence 5 of the Corpse Collector can be interchanged with the Sequence 4 of the Sleepless Path."

"According to internal church records, Ince failed to advance and was tempted by the devil, leading him to defect. His obsession with advancing in rank must have been very strong. In addition, he stole a level 0 sealed artifact from the church, greatly increasing his strength."

This Ince Zangwell is clearly the kind of person who will stop at nothing to get promoted, and to make matters worse, he's become a mortal enemy of the church.

Klein's heart skipped a beat. Could it be?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. As the old saying goes, good things don't come true, but bad things do.

"This defecting archbishop might actually be after the church's sacred relics!"

"However, the Church of the Night is spread throughout all the cities of Rune. Even if Ince Zangwell really has such an idea, it is hard to say where he will make his move."

"The captain said that not every branch has Saint Selena's ashes, so the scope can be narrowed down a lot."

"I hope they don't come to Tingen..."

The fool was somewhat uneasy.

Qin Sheng looked at Klein. He had specially made up this diary to subtly remind Klein of something.

Ince Zangwell did indeed have his eye on the Night Watch branch where Klein was located. Tingen, as a university city, had a fairly high-level church setup, which met Ince's requirements.

The defection of the archbishop is a problem that Klein and his Night Watch squad cannot solve.

This matter involves two gods and an angel king, representing a power struggle and exchange of interests at the highest levels.

"Even if there's no solution to this problem, it's good that you're more vigilant," Qin Sheng thought to himself.

He is a kind person.

Surely no one thinks that the Emperor wrote the Fool's diary simply to amuse him?

This is utterly alarmist!

Klein looked at the second page of the diary.

"On June 1st, I spent Children's Day with Bernadette. She's simply my little angel. I can now understand how those fathers felt when they saw their little blondies in their past lives. It was awful!"

"Yes, from now on I want to be a perfect father, setting an example so that Bernadette knows what a good man is."

Klein smiled silently. Even if Rosell were to become "Julius Caesar" in the future, he would still be a worried old father in front of Bernadette.

But Your Majesty, if you knew that your little angel had given away villas and all that to a man, would you jump out of your coffin?
"June 2nd. Last night was a wonderful yet unique night. Yali is truly a woman full of wildness and power, worthy of being a Sequence 5 Reaper of the Hunter Path. She actually dominated me all night. I started to wonder, did I sleep with her, or did she sleep with me?" Klein: "..."

Didn't you just say yesterday that you wanted to be a perfect father?
However, after attending so many tarot meetings, Klein was already familiar with Roselle's integrity, so it wasn't surprising.

"The only regret is that Yali is leaving to find the ingredients for Sequence 4 potions. She promised me that she would love me for the rest of her life and that she would come back after she completes her advancement, and that she would bring me a different experience then."

"The thought of having the chance to taste the flavor of a hunter demigod makes me look forward to Ari's return."

"I will conquer a Iron-Blooded Knight!"

Klein shook his head slightly. It was a pity the Emperor was dead, otherwise he would have made him pay me compensation for emotional distress.

"There have been some gains, at least I learned the names of Hunter Path Sequences 4 and 5 from this diary."

Seeing Klein reading the second page of the diary he had given him, Qin Sheng suppressed a laugh.

Hunters are also a pathway to sex change, the opposite of the adjacent pathway of male to female. Hunters change from female to male in Sequence 5 to Sequence 4.

At this moment, Klein suspected that he might one day see the diary entries of Emperor Roselle and this Lady Alyssa rekindling their romance.

The Hunter Path seems to be a sequence focused on physical enhancement. I wonder if Emperor Roselle could withstand a Predator Knight?

Klein, unaware of the hunter's true situation, was lost in thought. Finally, he gathered his thoughts, looked at everyone, and thought, "Hey, is the Emperor enjoying himself again?"

Was he happy because he gave me Russell's diary?

Klein felt that Qin Sheng was not only powerful and knowledgeable, but also deeply respected him, the Fool.

It is truly a pillar of the Tarot community.

Your Majesty, the Emperor is truly loyal beyond measure!
“You are free to communicate now,” Klein said.

Audrey thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Fool, the method you proposed for publicly selecting officials has been approved by the King and the Prime Minister and should be officially implemented early next year."

“It’s nothing,” Klein replied casually.

Great, I can leak the exam questions to my brother so he can prepare for the exam in advance and strive to become one of the first civil servants in the Kingdom of Rune.

“This is insignificant to you, but I still want to thank you on behalf of the kingdom.” Audrey bowed.

"Miss Justice, can you or your family meet the King and the Prime Minister? And discuss state affairs with them?" Qin Sheng asked, feigning curiosity.

Audrey froze, feeling that she was getting closer and closer to having her identity exposed.

“I have a friend…” Xiaoli explained weakly.

"I understand," Qin Sheng nodded.

Audrey wanted to cover her face. No way the Emperor would discover her true identity!

"Miss Justice, has there been any result regarding the matter I asked you to investigate before?" The Hanged Man asked in time, easing Audrey's unease.

“The kingdom will not retaliate against the Fusak Empire or start a new war in the short term,” Audrey replied quickly.

"Your friend is indeed exceptionally capable," Qin Sheng acknowledged.

Audrey: "..."

“I am satisfied with this answer,” Alger nodded.

He then promised a reward and completed the deal with Xiaoli.

At this moment, Qin Sheng thought of something and said, "As you know, I am currently in Backlund. I attended a secret gathering a few days ago."

Audrey glanced sideways. "Why are you bringing this up? Didn't we go together?"

"The host of the party called himself Mr. A," Qin Sheng continued.
"This distinctive style of his title made me guess his identity. He is probably a divine messenger of the Aurora Society. Based on my observation, he should be a Sequence 5."

“I haven’t heard of Mr. A, but the Aurora Society’s envoys do indeed use twenty-two letters as their code names.” Alger acknowledged Qin Sheng’s words.

"Your Majesty, do you intend to deal with Mr. A?"

“No, I went to that party to buy things, and I didn’t have any conflict with Mr. A.” Qin Sheng shook his head.

"I just want to remind you that the Aurora Society is an evil organization, and every member of the Aurora Society is a madman."

"If he seems normal, then he is definitely a deeply hidden madman, and you should stay away from such people."

Qin Sheng brought this up specifically because he noticed that Audrey hadn't asked about Mr. A, fearing she might not understand the danger Mr. A posed and might accidentally come into contact with him.

"Some members of our Tarot Club have just become extraordinary and lack understanding of this world. Be cautious and don't get involved with such madmen."

Audrey looked around. "Mr. Emperor, who is this person you're talking about who has just become an Extraordinary?"

You might as well put it more clearly.

“The Emperor is right.” Alger nodded in deep agreement.

“The Aurora Society is extremely hostile to the Church of the Sun, the Church of the Storm, and the Church of Knowledge. I have a friend in the church, so I have some knowledge of this evil organization.”

Alger also warned, "The Aurora Society is capable of anything to please the fallen Creator."

Klein also began to feel pleased. "You have a friend too?"
The sun remained silent. The content of Qin Sheng and the others' conversation was something he could neither understand nor learn.

"Thank you for reminding me." Audrey still expressed her gratitude sincerely, knowing that Qin Sheng meant well.

The Emperor is indeed a cold-faced but warm-hearted person.

"No need to thank me. Actually, there's something I'd like to ask you..." Alger then turned his gaze to Qin Sheng.

"And with the Emperor's help, of course, I will pay him."

Klein, who appears as still as a statue, is not at peace inside.

Why don't you ask me, a fool, for help?
"You said."

"I've received word that 'Hurricane Admiral' Zilingus, one of the seven pirate generals, has secretly infiltrated Backlund, seemingly with something very important to do," Alger said.

"He is a 'Wind-Cherisher' of the Sailor Path Sequence 6, possessing an extremely powerful magical item that makes him comparable to a Sequence 5."

"I hope Miss Justice can help me find his whereabouts, and then I can ask the Emperor to intervene at the crucial moment."

Why didn't you ask me to kill Hurricane General...?

Okay, Audrey, you should recognize your own limitations.

"Your Majesty, are you willing to make a move? I will do my best to offer a price that will satisfy you." Alger's eyes were filled with expectation.

Even the Twilight Admiral, a Sequence 5 commander, was easily killed by the Emperor. A Hurricane Admiral who has left his pirate ship should be no problem either.

The sun was watching Qin Sheng, who, despite being a newcomer to the Tarot Club, had already grasped some of its secrets.

The Emperor should be the strongest here, well, the Great Fool doesn't count.

"It depends on whether I have time," Qin Sheng said.
"I'm currently preparing for my promotion to Sequence 4, so I might not have time to deal with a Hurricane General."

Qin Sheng inadvertently revealed his strength.

Sequence 4 is nothing special, not worth mentioning. I didn't originally intend for outsiders to know that I was going to become Sequence 4, but since I, Sequence 4, feel that everyone in the Tarot Club is one of us.

The tarot room fell silent, and Klein had only one thought in his mind:
I have nurtured a "god".
