Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 397 I Have No Interest in Extraordinary Beings
Sequence 4, the starting point of the higher sequences, has undergone a qualitative change in some aspects and has truly transcended the human realm.

Even those in the middle and lower ranks can still be killed by ordinary people using sharp weapons, firearms, or sheer numbers.

But at the demigod level, things are completely different. An army composed of ordinary people becomes just numbers, and the effects of technological creations become increasingly poor.

Demigods are mythical beings in human form, incomplete ones, until they become angels, then they are true mythical beings.

In the mysterious world, pure technological power, without any extraordinary elements, can only develop to the highest level of Sequence 1, and can never threaten the true god.

Of the five members of the Tarot Club, Klein and Audrey are newcomers to the Extraordinary class, while Alger and Derrick, despite their impressive backgrounds, are still far from achieving demigod status.

Being able to chat with a demigod on equal terms every week is something I never dared to dream of before.

"Sequence 4..." After the initial shock, Audrey's eyes brightened, and she could no longer remain a spectator, excitedly asking:

"Your Majesty, are you really going to become a high-sequence Extraordinary?"

I was surprised to find that I was a companion to a demigod. Xiaoli straightened her back even more.

Audrey, to be able to befriend such an important person, you're already a grown-up!

I'm going to tell my mom that we must not forget to invite the Emperor to future banquets.

"Of course," Qin Sheng nodded, his tone calm.

"In fact, I have already gathered all the potions and can take them at any time. That is my goal in coming to Backlund."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Alger felt conflicted. He had guessed that the Emperor might be a demigod after Qin Sheng killed the Twilight General.

Now that he knows the truth, he is even more surprised.

The fact that the Emperor could kill a pirate general of the same level with only a Sequence 5 strength on the high seas means that his strength is terrifying. Either he has a special way of doing things or he possesses a powerful magical item.

Once this emperor becomes a demigod, he will definitely be one of the strongest among demigods.

The Emperor is about to reach Sequence 4, while I'm still at Sequence 7. What a huge difference!

However, this is also a good thing, as it means I will have the connections and channels of a demigod!
Those who oust political commissars are always very shrewd.

"Your Majesty, you are truly amazing," the sun exclaimed sincerely.

"Among the six members of the Silver City Council, there are only three Sequence 4 Witchers."

If Qin Sheng were in Silver City, he would definitely be a high-ranking official.

But Derrick's words still startled Xiaoli and Xiaojie.

"Is Silver City that powerful?" Audrey asked.

"We are not strong; we can only barely survive in the darkness," the sun said, sounding somewhat sad and distressed.

Audrey was also frustrated. Was this level of strength not powerful enough?
Then wouldn't I, a mere common nobleman, be disqualified from living?

The youngest princess of the Hall family, one of the most powerful noble families in Rune, is unusually somewhat guilty and insecure.

Audrey, you have a few gold pounds, but compared to Mr. Emperor and Mr. Sun, you are nothing.

"It's normal for a force that has survived for thousands of years in the Forsaken Lands to possess high-sequence extraordinary individuals," Qin Sheng said.
"The Church of Storms and the Church of Night are even more powerful."

Klein and Alger felt a little uncomfortable, as if they had been singled out.

“Congratulations in advance, Your Majesty the Emperor,” Klein said in a very indifferent tone, seemingly unconcerned about a demigod.

But Mr. Fool's heart was already overflowing with lemons.

Mr. Noah is only in his twenties, how could he become a demigod?

And I, this fool, am also in my twenties, but I have only just digested the fortune teller's potion. The difference between people is greater than the difference between a person and a dog.

Hmph, a gigolo, I wouldn't stoop to that.

I, the Fool, will definitely strive to become a demigod through my own efforts, and then the church will surely give me a huge raise.

Klein had already envisioned the day he would become the Archbishop of the Church of the Night and eventually Pope.

Now, it's Mr. Fool's time for fantasy.

Qin Sheng thanked his companions for their blessings one by one, and said with emotion:
"Although sequence advancement is a good thing, my path is very dangerous. At the very top is the evil god, the Hidden Sage, who will pursue the extraordinary ones on this path, instilling knowledge in them and corrupting them."

"After I take the potion and begin to advance, I'm afraid I'll be targeted by the Hidden Sage, and there will inevitably be some setbacks."

In Tarot gatherings, one's own sequence is not a secret that cannot be revealed. As people communicate more, they will eventually find out.

"Actually, my happiest days were when I was an ordinary person. I had no interest in extraordinary powers, and I never looked for potion ingredients."

Klein: "..."

You didn't find any potion ingredients yourself, Bernadette found them all and poured them into your potion, right?

I hate pretentious people the most!
Sometimes, a fool really wants to call the police, but unfortunately, he himself is a policeman.

"The Spy Who Sneaks Through the Gates? The Morse Order?" Alger realized.

"I am indeed a spy, but I am not a member of the Morse Order," Qin Sheng sneered.

"I will never forgive such an evil organization."

“The Hidden Sage is an evil god, Your Majesty, are you in danger?” Audrey asked with some concern.

"No, I'm prepared."

The Hidden Sage is a uniquely activated product, making it stronger than the normal 1+1 Angel King.

However, now that Qin Sheng has become King Dao and is facing the King of Angels, he feels that protecting himself should not be a problem.

Besides, this is just a matter of being targeted by some of the hidden sage's powers during the promotion process, not a real life-or-death battle with Him.

In the original storyline, even a Star General could be promoted smoothly under Bernadette's protection, let alone Qin Sheng.

However, killing the Hidden Sage is unrealistic. Those who have entered the Path of the Sage become information beings from the angels onward, making them extremely difficult to kill.

Furthermore, the Hidden Sage possesses a certain authority to "hide," and once he hides himself, even the gods cannot discover him.

In this mysterious world, authority reigns supreme.

"However, I know that others who were corrupted by the Hidden Sage met tragic ends. Everyone, if you have any spies among your acquaintances, you must be careful," Qin Sheng sighed.

"Because the corruption of the hidden sages usually stems from knowledge, which is often very subtle and difficult to detect before it gets completely out of control."

Klein's heart skipped a beat. He did have a know-it-all by his side, Old Neil, his mentor in the Church of the Night, who taught him all sorts of extraordinary knowledge.

"Then, Your Majesty, how can we tell if an extraordinary being has been corrupted by a hidden sage?" the curious Audrey pressed.

Well done, Miss Justice! You asked the question I wanted to know!

Klein cheered for Sergeant O.

“I can pay for this problem,” Audrey added.

"No need, I can share it with you, and I hope you never encounter a similar situation."

Qin Sheng brought this up specifically to remind Klein.

Old Neil has indeed been corrupted by the Hidden Sage, which will lead to a tragedy in the future. If it is discovered and exposed in advance, it can be changed.

Qin Sheng didn't mind doing this easy favor. "The most obvious sign that someone has been corrupted by a Hidden Sage is the appearance of a pair of eyes around them," Qin Sheng said seriously.

"Those eyes had no eyelashes, were cold and indifferent, almost illusory and transparent. They were very good at hiding, and sometimes even spiritual vision could not see them. They could only be discovered by accident."

"Normally, seeing these eyes won't contaminate you, but if you notice someone around you exhibiting this condition..."

Audrey listened intently, and when Qin Sheng didn't continue, she eagerly pressed for more information.

What should we do?

"Report it to the church."

Of course you should contact the church, not me.

This answer surprised Audrey; she had thought that a demigod like the Emperor would have other methods.

“That’s right,” Alger agreed.

“This involves an evil god, which is not something that extraordinary people can easily handle. We must immediately notify the church and use the power of the gods to deal with the evil god.”

"As for other manifestations of being corrupted by the Hidden Sage, such as a person suddenly acquiring knowledge and abilities that they have never learned or understood before, or suddenly being able to sing a certain song or play a certain piece of music."

Qin Sheng: "The deeper changes are beyond your comprehension."

“Thank you, Your Majesty. I have learned a great deal from your teachings,” Audrey said gratefully.

Xiao Jie and Xiao Dai immediately followed suit. Mr. Fool remained silent, but in reality, he was sweating profusely.

"When I first became an Extraordinary, the first time I activated my psychic vision, I saw the illusory eyes that Mr. Emperor had mentioned behind Old Neil!"

Klein had asked Old Neil what it was, and was told not to worry about it; it was just the effect of ritual magic. He had thought it was the ability of the esoteric man.

The result was actually contamination by an evil god?
No, I need to report this to the captain immediately after the tarot reading session ends.

There's a follower of an evil god in our team!
“Mr. Hanged Man, could you continue with the information about Hurricane Admiral?” Audrey was still focused on Gon’s request.

She felt that Tarot clubs should be about helping each other, even if it's for a fee.

This is sacred.

"The Hurricane General's magical item is called the Wriggling Hunger," Alger continued his topic.

"Every other day, it needs to devour the soul and flesh of a living person. If it cannot be satisfied, then its writhing hunger will take its master as food."

“What an evil thing.” Audrey frowned, feeling disgusted.

"This magical item is extremely powerful. After obtaining it, Hurricane will transform from a normal Wind-Centered being into something very strange."

Alger: "He can enter other people's dreams and summon holy light to purify the undead. His abilities are diverse and complex."

“A shepherd?” Derrick blurted out.

"You know?" Xiaoli and Xiaojie looked over.

"Mr. Hanged Man's description is very similar to Elder Lovia's abilities in our council of six. She is a shepherd who can devour souls and use their abilities from their previous lives by herding sheep," Sun explained.

"This is Sequence 5 of the Mystic Path, a path that Silver City discovered while exploring the darkness."

"So that's how it is." Audrey suddenly realized.

Qin Sheng added, "Among the twenty-two pathways, Sequence 5, the Shepherd is considered one of the most powerful. The Sun made it very clear that he can use the abilities of multiple extraordinary beings, and one person is equivalent to a well-coordinated squad."

"Be careful if you fight against the shepherd in the future."

Looking at all Sequence 5 pathways, the Shepherd is definitely a top-tier (T0) character. The perfect combination of various extraordinary abilities creates an incredible synergy.

"Then Mr. A is probably a shepherd!" Audrey thought to herself.

“Mr. Hanged Man, I accept your request. I will try to find Hurricane General for you,” Audrey agreed.

Qin Sheng had already answered Alger's question, so he didn't say anything more.

Xiao Jie didn't dare to force a demigod; he pondered what he might have that could move the Emperor.

"This gathering is now over."

Klein spoke; he was in a hurry.

After Qin Sheng and the others left the Source Castle, Klein returned to his body. He did not immediately expose Old Neil.

Instead, he first thought about what reason to use to reasonably explain Old Neil's problem to the captain, and finally Klein got a clue.

Then he went out of his house, flagged down a carriage, and headed towards the night watchmen's quarters.

Blackthorn Security Company.

"Hi Rosanne, good afternoon. Is the captain here?" Klein greeted the receptionist.

"In the office, Klein, aren't you off today?"

"If there's an emergency, I need to talk to the team leader."

Klein went to the captain's office, knocked on the door, and went in after receiving permission.

A man with a high nose bridge, gray eyes, and a slightly high hairline looked over.

Dunn Smith, captain of the Tingen Market Night Watchers squad.

"Klein, what is it?"

Klein walked over quickly and whispered:
"Captain, something terrible has happened."

Half an hour later, Dunn, Klein, and several other night watchmen left Blackthorn Security and headed to Old Neil's residence.

Upon arriving outside the house, the faint sound of a piano could be heard, and the elderly night watchmen, including Dunn, looked rather grim.

"Old Neil's family has never owned a piano, and he probably doesn't know how to play one..."

Klein's heart skipped a beat.

The Emperor was absolutely right!

The Night Watchers entered Old Neil's house, and Dunn, a Sequence 7 Nightmare, activated his dream-entering ability, forcibly entering Old Neil's dream.

Then Klein and his men rushed in and found Old Neil lying unconscious on the ground.

"The fact that I could enter his dreams means things haven't reached the point of no return," Dunn said with a sigh of relief.

“Klein, thanks to your reminder, we almost lost a comrade this time.”

No, we should thank Mr. Noah.

Praise the Emperor!

Backlund Grand Villa.

Qin Sheng opened his eyes and saw Bernadette preparing medicine. After seeing that he had woken up, she brought the crucible over.

"You're awake. It's time to take your medicine."

Ah, so I am a Water Margin character who has returned from the mysterious world?
