Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 398 The Limits of Humanity and Divinity
"Beibei, I'm your Uncle Qin. What do you want?"

Qin Sheng glanced down at the contents of the crucible, and the pungent smell of alcohol hit him. "You got me drunk?"

But why are there a pair of octopus eyes floating in the wine?
“Apprenticeship Sequence 7, materials for Astrologer Potions,” Bernadette explained.

“This time, in addition to the potion from the ‘Mystic’, I also brought the potion materials from the ‘Astrologer’ and the ‘Arcane Mentor’ of the Reader’s Path Sequence 5.”

Both of these potions are what Qin Sheng needs, and they can supplement his knowledge system.

Upon hearing this, Qin Sheng stood up and nodded with satisfaction.

"Beibei, you are a good child who keeps your promises."

Of Russell's three children, the one who was of mediocre talent and eventually died of old age was exceptional. The other two were outstanding individuals.

Old Huang is quite capable of educating his children.

"Your spirit was away from your body for a very short time. Did the secret gathering end so quickly?" Bernadette asked.

This is because Mr. Fool is too weak; his spiritual power is insufficient to support holding tarot meetings for an extended period.

"I don't know if Russell ever told you that large meetings are for discussing minor matters, while small meetings are for discussing major matters."

Qin Sheng took the crucible. "A short time does not mean that the meeting is not important."

Bernadette recalled for a moment and nodded in agreement, "You're right. In the past, when he held meetings with his ministers, the really important matters were decided by a few people in private."

Those things that are brought into the open by the empire and cause endless wrangling among the various parties are actually considered minor issues.

“I can tell you’re curious about what’s going on at our gathering,” Qin Sheng said with a smile.

“Beibei, given our relationship, I can reveal some things to you, and I hope you can benefit from them.”

"During the previous gathering, our organization planned to secretly intervene in the development of the Kingdom of Rune, and now it has come to fruition. The Kingdom of Rune will undergo changes next year."

Bernadette's gaze was deep. Did this mysterious organization include high-ranking members of the Rune?

Political discussions on keyboards, governance through tarot.

No one knows that the civil service system in the Kingdom of Rune was proposed by the Fool, the leader of the Tarot Society, who wanted his brother to leave the country.

The name of the evil god is truly fitting.

"In addition, we plan to weaken the Hidden Sages' strength in preparation for the longer term. If nothing unexpected happens, our organization will have already taken action by now, and we believe we will soon achieve considerable results."

Bernadette remained silent. Had she already devised a plan to fight the evil god in such a short time?

Even though Old Neil is only a Sequence 9, just consider this: after he was exposed and arrested, wouldn't the Hidden Sage have suffered some losses?

"Finally, we are also planning for the Forsaken Land, the true creator... I believe that one day in the future, we will meet Him." Qin Sheng chuckled.

"The land abandoned by God will surely reconnect with the northern and southern continents, and the Creator will lose His most devout believer."

Bernadette took a deep breath. Is this what a high-end party is like?
The Land Forsaken by God currently has two human settlements, Silver City and Moon City. Now that someone from the former has joined the Tarot Society, how can that not be considered a move?

Once Silver City leaves the Forsaken Land through the Tarot Society's channels, they will naturally convert to the Fool.

It's not wrong to say that the Creator has lost his believers.

Uncle Qin likes to speak the truth.

Bernadette's eyes shone brightly, sparkling like waves.

“Now that you’ve digested the Prophet’s potion, you should understand that prophecy isn’t omnipotent,” Qin Sheng shook his head.

“You’re right.” Bernadette nodded gently, her eyes returning to normal.

She could never have foreseen things like the Source Castle.

“This is amazing news,” Bernadette commented.

Beibei was not at peace. She suddenly realized that she did not understand this world, and that many terrible things were lurking in the shadows beneath the water.

For example, she had never received even the slightest bit of information about Qin Sheng's organization before.

Furthermore, during their first meeting, Qin Sheng made it clear that much knowledge could not be obtained without the help of angels.

This stirred in Bernadette a rare desire for promotion.

“What does the land of the forsaken look like?” Bernadette asked.

"It is located at the end of the Sunia Sea, isolated by the power of the gods. It is a dark place, full of monsters and dangers, and even angels are not safe to walk there."

"But on the other hand, there are also many treasures involving high sequences, including things you are not qualified to know right now."

Qin Sheng said slowly, "No one is willing to give up that place, not even the gods."

Chernobyl is located in the Forsaken Land, where a passage to the primordial "Chaos Sea" is hidden.

"If there's a chance in the future, I can take you to see it."

Uncle Qin extended a travel invitation to his eldest niece.

“I look forward to that day.” Bernadette nodded, then asked a new question.

"Is your organization an enemy of the true creator, the hidden sage?"

"It's not about opposing the true creator, but about each taking what they need." Qin Sheng shook his head, a meaningful look on his face.

"If the true creator is an evil god now, what about before? If the goddess of night is a righteous god now, what about before?"

Gods are not inherently good or evil, right or wrong; the defeated are evil, and that is what is wicked!

"As for the Hidden Sage, the organization had no prior enmity with Him..."

Qin Sheng chuckled, "But I need to become a 'recluse'."

The Seven Gods didn't know whether they objected or not, but the Emperor tacitly approved.

Bernadette's mind was in turmoil; it seemed that her uncle held a very important position in that mysterious organization.

The organization was willing to fight against an evil god for his sake!
"At the beginning of next year, the Kingdom of Rune will implement a new policy. Although the initial changes will only affect ordinary people, they will not have a direct impact on extraordinary individuals like you and me," Qin Sheng instructed Bernadette.

"But you are the leader of the Dawn of Elements. It would be good for your organization to involve your people in this change."

When Qin Sheng becomes a god and establishes his own church in the future, he will surely absorb Bernadette, the destined angel.

The Dawn of Elements that she founded will likely become the core of Qin Sheng's church.

Qin Sheng also had the idea of ​​bringing the Morse Ascetic Order, which now believes in the reclusive sages, under his control.

Building a church from scratch is too complicated.

What kind of policy?

“Rune will select officials through examinations. This is an opportunity to gradually gain control of the Kingdom of Rune from the grassroots level. Of course, this will take time; it is impossible to sideline the king in just a few years.”

As Russell's eldest daughter, Bernadette clearly possessed a keen political sense and immediately understood Qin Sheng's meaning.

“It is indeed a good opportunity. Even if it is only at the grassroots level, at least it will provide another source of information.” Bernadette nodded.

"But compared to an evil god, this doesn't seem like a big deal?"

"No, in a sense, it is even more important, because it is part of the tide of the times." Qin Sheng said inscrutably.

Beibei, now you know how powerful your uncle is!

If I don't broaden your horizons, you might not know how many eyes Uncle Qin has.

"Alright, that's all I can tell you. I can't reveal anything else."

The Fool is a diviner at the Great Perfection, Justice is a minor girl, the Sun has a slight tendency towards autism and is also "illiterate" in the Northern Continent, and the Hanged Man is a singer who was rejected by the church choir...

These are topics that should never be touched.

Bernadette, being sensible, didn't ask any further questions; she looked at the crucible.

"I've already put all the ingredients for the Astrologer's Potion into it. The main ingredient is meteorite crystal, and I've also brought the blood crystal of the Lava Octopus. Will you mix it yourself, or should I do it?"

Both the fortune teller and apprentice paths require a specific part of the Lava octopus's body as the main ingredient.

Qin Sheng's expression was subtle. He suggested that Klein establish a Lava Octopus Protection Association in the future.

“I’ll do it, but the astrologer and the occultist shouldn’t rush; they should advance to the level of mystic first.”

Although Qin Sheng uses a mix of potions, he still prioritizes the Seekers' method to ensure the advantage and dominance of the main method.

Only by becoming a hermit or advancing directly to the level of a knowledge demon can one fulfill the last wish of the enigmatic Qin Sheng; other deities cannot.

"When I advance to Sequence 4, there is a high chance that I will attract the attention of the Hidden Sage, but I can remain hidden, so you don't need to worry about that."

Bernadette knew that even if the Hidden Sage cast his gaze upon Qin Sheng, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him, given his current situation, but she still demonstrated her worth. "I trust you to handle things," Qin Sheng smiled.

His mention of the danger of promotion at the Tarot meeting was more of a convenient way of bringing up Old Neil's matter.

"Furthermore, I have no intention of meeting the Hidden Sage for the time being."

It wasn't that Qin Sheng was afraid of the hidden sages; he was mainly afraid of alerting them by making a move.

This evil god wields the power of "concealment." While he may not be as adept at keeping secrets as the goddess of night, he is by no means inferior to any god when it comes to hiding his whereabouts.

In addition, given the immortality and difficulty of information life, once a hidden sage senses a threat, he can simply hide anywhere, and you probably wouldn't be able to find him even if you searched the entire Earth.

Imagine you are a hidden sage, and one day you suddenly discover that there exists a demigod of the same path who can fight against the King of Angels...

Oh no, it's coming for me.

It's worth mentioning that the Hidden Sage is extremely afraid of death.

A thick pea vine descended from the sky, and Bernadette isolated the two from the real world, then handed them a piece of parchment.

"This is the formula of a mystic."

Main ingredients: Scalp of the Arcane Fairy, pupil of the Eye of the Evil God.

Additional materials: 13 drops of Arcane Fairy Tears, 80 ml of Ash Liquid from the Eye of the Evil God, 1 relic related to an occult event, and 1 dose of a wizard's secret potion created by the individual.

“I thought you would find me an extraordinary attribute,” Qin Sheng said.

"Almost all the demigods who seek the secrets belong to the Morse Order, and they have all received the knowledge infusion from the Hidden Sage."

The implication is that killing the hidden sage's subordinates would attract the attention of the evil god.

Bernadette retrieved all the mystic's materials: scalp, pupils...

It would give any ordinary person goosebumps just looking at it.

"Is your ceremony ready?"

Qin Sheng nodded, "I will use the blood of the archangel through the Thief's Path as the target for the analysis of the ascension ritual."

"Thieves?" Bernadette couldn't help but be surprised.

"How could an archangel still be found in this era?"

When it comes to rarity and scarcity, high-sequence thieves definitely rank first.

"I was lucky."

"Speaking of luck, using angel blood from the monster path as a ritual would actually be more helpful for future advancement to Sequence 3 Prophecy Master and for digesting potions."

The ability of a prophet is essentially to glimpse the future of destiny, and the monster path is the destiny path, from good fortune and misfortune to ultimately becoming destiny itself.

Depending on the type of blood analyzed, the areas of expertise and abilities a mystic will possess will vary.

"I don't need to take that shortcut. Thieves suit me better; the ability to steal allows me to gain more knowledge," Qin Sheng said with a smile.
"And by advancing with the blood of the Thief Angel, one can also mount a certain counterattack when facing angels from this path in the future, right?"

There is a certain degree of restraint between thieves and voyeurs.

When facing warrior angels, thief angels cannot steal their flesh and limbs.

However, information is something that can be stolen. The angels who are spying on secrets are information beings. Stealing information is no different from stealing their bodies. They can even make the information incorrect after stealing it, and then return it to you, causing bugs in your system.

Of course, this kind of restraint is not insurmountable, and it also depends on individual ability.

Qin Sheng chose to advance through the blood of thieves, which was a strategy of learning from the barbarians to subdue them; if you can steal, so can I.

What scholars do cannot be called stealing; it's called burglary.

Bernadette thought for a moment, "You make a good point, but Thief Angels are hard to come by, so there's no need to worry too much about it."

That's not right. It's fine if you don't encounter them, but if you do, then it's like a whole bunch of them.

Qin Sheng placed the mystic's potion ingredients one by one into another crucible. Mysterious reactions occurred between them, with flames spewing out, exploding, and colors settling.

Finally, a wisp of illusory, dark liquid burning with purple sparks appeared before the two of them.

Qin Sheng took out Pales's blood; he had been analyzing it for some time and had deliberately kept a last bit.

He has now moved on to the remaining progress.

The complex and vast amount of materialized knowledge rushed towards Qin Sheng, immersing him in an ocean of knowledge, including theft, time, fraud, fate, and other related concepts.

In this state, Qin Sheng drank the mystic's potion in one gulp. It was hard to describe the taste; it was as if he had experienced all the flavors of life, and in the end, he felt completely empty.

The power of the potion exploded within Qin Sheng's body, merging into every inch of his flesh and blood, and rushing into his ethereal body, mental body, astral body, and spiritual body.

This made Qin Sheng feel as if his consciousness had been scattered. He seemed to have lost his body and soul, and his whole being had a tendency to become information-based and knowledge-based, spreading throughout the world and becoming an objective law.

"Hmm... Transformation into the Dao?"

This change reminded Qin Sheng of his experience of consuming some treasures a year before he severed his Dao in the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

"There are three thousand great paths, but they all lead to the same destination. Different worlds and different paths will eventually intersect."

The existence of these points of convergence is one of the fundamental reasons why Qin Sheng was able to transform insights from all walks of life.

Changes continued, but Qin Sheng remained calm and composed.

Even without the ritual, Qin Sheng could not have lost control if he had swallowed the magic potion. Now, everything was naturally under his control.

The torrent of knowledge relentlessly washed over Qin Sheng's soul, mind, and cognition. If he lost his way at such a time, losing control and collapsing would be the only outcome.

From Bernadette's perspective, Qin Sheng became illusory, with black eyes appearing on his skin and flesh, their symbols flashing, representing a higher level of power.

Knowledge, endless knowledge!

For someone below Sequence 4, witnessing this process directly is dangerous, but for Bernadette, a Sequence 3 Grand Perfectionist who controls many magical spells and artifacts, it is not a problem.

When Qin Sheng withstood the impact of the potion's power, new knowledge emerged.

Those are things obtained from the blood of the Time Worms; they are like anchors, or like inextinguishable lighthouses, stabilizing humanity and guiding the way.

The essence of the promotion ceremony is an anchor, fixing your existence in this world.

Different ritual forms are merely superficial; whether it's analyzing blood or murdering demigods, it's all about having something to hold you back.

Qin Sheng's ritual was perfect. When the knowledge of the insect and the power of the mystic began to merge perfectly, a unique ability began to be built and take shape.

Knowledge is power!

"What abilities other mystics develop after analyzing the knowledge of mythical creatures is beyond our control; we are completely passive."

“But I am more special than them. Perhaps I can take this opportunity to further acquire the power of the thief’s path.”

If one advances through the bloodline of destiny, in addition to becoming a master of prophecy more easily in the future, one will also gain the additional ability of "temporary luck," which increases the probability of good fortune for a short period of time.

And the core of the Time Insect is, of course, theft!

"Taking the assimilation rules of other sources of knowledge that I learned when I was promoted to a mystic; based on my understanding of the aura of the Source Castle; and with my wisdom..."

Information collided and intertwined within Qin Sheng's body, and the most basic digital runes were constructed, combined, and sublimated into new extraordinary abilities.

In this process, Qin Sheng's originally boundless spirit, thoughts, and cognition began to converge and reorganize.

The eyes on his body gradually disappeared, and he returned to his flesh and blood body. However, in reality, his human form was merely an appearance.

Various kinds of knowledge flowed out from Qin Sheng's spirit body; this was something inherent in the potions of the mystic.

He crossed the threshold between the middle and high sequences, becoming a demigod. His life essence underwent a qualitative leap, and the strength of his various abilities increased significantly.

Spirituality is increasing rapidly, exponentially, and explosively!
After Qin Sheng completed the mental and cognitive restructuring, he had something extra in his body. It seemed to be some kind of strange sense, or like a tangible object in his spiritual body.

It made Qin Sheng more indifferent and calmer, allowing him to view the world from a higher and more multifaceted perspective.

This is divinity, and the changes it brings about.

When an extraordinary being becomes a demigod, the fragments of power and spiritual imprints from the source of the sequence within him will become quite intense.

Only then can you truly approach the source of the extraordinary, but what awaits you is not happiness and beauty, but madness and loss.

Qin Sheng opened his eyes, which were ethereal, indifferent, and insightful about all things in the world.

He clearly realized that he was no longer human and that there was no turning back.

"The further you are from people, the closer you are to God."
