Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 399 The Little Girl Selling Nuclear Bombs

"Congratulations on becoming a demigod once again," Bernadette congratulated.

Not again, but for the first time.

Compared to his niece who is a hundred or two hundred years old, Uncle Qin is still just a child.

"It feels wonderful." Qin Sheng nodded and smiled.

"However, the occultist truly lives up to his reputation as one of the most dangerous Sequence 4s; his eyes are far too capable of seeing things he shouldn't."

“Yes.” Bernadette nodded.

"Therefore, the first thing every seeker of secrets must learn is self-control."

Mystics have two core abilities: "Mystical Reappearance" and a demigod-level Eye of Insight.

The latter is a derivative of the "peeping" authority, which allows one to peep into hidden secrets, knowledge, and existence. It can be used not only by oneself but also by placing it on others, giving one a second perspective.

Once the Eye of Secrets is activated, its observation of all things is instinctive and passive, and even extraordinary beings cannot stop it.

Furthermore, the spirituality and inspiration of mystics are arguably of the highest order, and the danger of this in the Krish world goes without saying.

If a mystic doesn't exercise restraint and blindly observe, he will surely die suddenly on the roadside one day.

The reappearance of mystery is a manifestation of the divinity and knowledge of the mystic.

"With the ability to mysteriously reappear, the pursuit of secrets has become a powerful path."

In previous sequences, while the Seekers weren't exactly top-tier, they weren't exactly the best either, and they also had the negative buff of high inspiration.

However, after the qualitative change at Sequence 4, a knowledgeable mystic is terrifying and has the confidence to face any powerful being of the same sequence from other pathways.

“You’re right, the mystic is a comprehensive and powerful sequence,” Bernadette agreed wholeheartedly.

She was once the strongest mystic, after all, no Sequence 4 could possess several angelic magical items, or even a genie.

“There are no useless mystics, only useless extraordinary ones.” Qin Sheng smiled subtly.

The ability to mysteriously reappear is to draw power from one's own knowledge of mysticism to create magic or witchcraft. The fewer people who know the corresponding mysticism, the less it is passed down, the more powerful the spells created will be.

However, the relevant knowledge cannot be known only to oneself; there must be at least a second person who knows it.

Knowledge from the old Earth also falls into this category, such as fairy tales like The Little Match Girl.

"Stories such as Pangu creating the world, Nuwa patching up the sky, and Gonggong angrily striking Buzhou Mountain should also be considered mysterious knowledge in this era, and Klein definitely knows them."

If even these stories are unclear, then Qin Sheng might suspect that the Fool was a spy in his "past life".

Of course, even if one created the mythical magic of Pangu creating the world, it would be impossible to truly recreate the world.

That was just magic created based on the power of mystics, not a true mythological descent.

Qin Sheng wondered if Klein or Rosell had ever read *Covering the Sky*. If they had, he might be able to create the magical Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin.

Or, if he's read Perfect World, he could try creating Magic: Heavenly Emperor Beast Milk.

“I created fairy tale magic from the fairy tales he told me, and I can teach it to you,” Bernadette said generously.

“I know those fairy tales too,” Qin Sheng smiled.

"However, getting it directly from you saves me the time of constructing the spell. Thank you, Bebe."

"you know too?"

"Mm." Qin Sheng nodded.

“Stories like Cinderella, The Emperor’s New Clothes, and The Ugly Duckling are widely circulated in our hometown. We have read them since we were little and have vivid memories of them.”

The goddess of the night, that European, must know these things.

Bernadette looked on, lost in thought. "Are there any other fairy tales?"

"There's a lot... you want to hear?" Qin Sheng said.
"Sure, I'll tell you when I have the chance."

For example, the little girl selling nuclear bombs.

"What extra abilities did you receive from the Thief's Path Angel?" Bernadette asked, somewhat curious.

“It has two abilities: theft and chaos,” Qin Sheng explained.

"The former is the theft of knowledge. The essence of extraordinary abilities is knowledge. I can steal your corresponding knowledge and use it myself. During this period, you will lose the corresponding ability."

"However, at any given time, I can only steal one kind of knowledge. Other concepts that are too abstract, such as fate and time, or things like vitality and thought, are not within my scope of theft."

Bernadette nodded. “It’s a very practical and powerful ability, and it’s the foundation of the Thief’s Path.”

Even a true thief in Sequence 3 can only steal three abilities at a time.

Including time, fate, and other aspects, only true angels, who have gained authority, can intervene in the thief's path.

Even if Qin Sheng enhanced his ability to steal, he could not possibly leap to the level of a true thief, a demigod, or an angel.

"Actually, the real value of this ability lies in the fact that I can understand and learn the knowledge I've stolen," Qin Sheng said with a smile.
"In the future, after I take a few more steps in the path of the esoteric beings, I will have the opportunity to add them to my body in the form of information, and truly and permanently master those abilities."

Qin Sheng's true enhancement to himself lies in this point.

When an ordinary mystic uses the blood of an angel to ascend, there is a considerable chance that they will also gain a weakened ability to steal, but they can probably only steal the surface, not the essence; they are in a state of knowing what to do but not why.

Even thieves themselves can only use the ability after committing the theft, unable to understand its underlying principles, let alone a counterfeit like you.

Bernadette's eyes lit up. "This is perfect for a spy."

The power of a mystic comes from profound knowledge of mysticism. In the process of seeking knowledge, they often see things they shouldn't see, hear sounds they shouldn't hear, and touch secrets they shouldn't touch.

Qin Sheng's knowledge theft was undoubtedly a shortcut to accumulating knowledge, and it was also much safer.

The chances of stealing unbearable knowledge by fighting against other demigods are slim.

"The second ability is chaotic. This ability is formed by the reaction of the spy's concealment, the thief's deception, and my own ingestion of two additional potions."

Qin Sheng continued, "This puts me in a state of mystical confusion, making it much more difficult for other thieves to steal from me, and it also serves as a good counter-divination tool."

In more terms of cultivation, it means concealing one's own heavenly secrets.

“Both of these abilities are very powerful and practical. They can both make up for weaknesses and enrich your skill set,” Bernadette praised.

"Judging from your situation alone, the blood of the Thief Angel seems quite suitable for use as an ascension ritual."

"I don't recommend doing that." Qin Sheng's eyes were somewhat strange.

Only angels are complete mythological beings. In the original story, the only two thief angels who appeared were Amon and Pales.

The latter is an old man, generally unavailable to the average person. If some Seeker of Secrets, Sequence 5, were to seek blood from the former…

The scene was too beautiful to imagine.

“After entering the higher sequence, the divinity gradually grows stronger, and the extraordinary characteristics will become increasingly corrupting to us,” Bernadette said, her voice serious as she spoke of another matter.

"To maintain humanity, you need to consider the anchor. Well, if your previous anchors still exist, then you can ignore my reminder."

No high-sequence Extraordinary is not "crazy." To avoid their ego being completely suppressed by the mental imprint of their Extraordinary traits, they need the power of the anchor.

Anchors are usually people related to oneself, most directly believers.

Its function is to form corresponding cognition, positioning, and image, which counteract the spiritual imprint within extraordinary characteristics, allowing you to maintain a delicate balance.

"I was prepared," Qin Sheng said with a smile.

“I have a lot of humanity in me, you should be able to sense that.”

Even though Qin Sheng's humanity will inevitably be lost in this world, his true self will never be shaken as he coexists with all realms.

Therefore, he does not need an anchor in the conventional concept of the mysterious world, or rather, his anchor is himself in other worlds.

This is a huge advantage.

Wars between true gods usually begin with wars between mortals, in order to remove the other's anchor.

But if Qin Sheng becomes a god in the future, his needs for believers will be reduced to the minimum.

However, the Emperor may not need believers, but you cannot be without faith.

Bernadette nodded slightly, no longer worrying, and then asked, "When do you want me to prepare the potions for the astrologer and the arcane master?"

"There's no time like the present. I'm in better shape than ever before, so let's do it now."

The pea vines soared into the sky and disappeared, as Huang Beibei dispelled her fairytale magic. Qin Sheng's gaze swept across his room, his Peeping Eyes revealing countless hazy figures and layers of shadowy curtains.

Behind the curtain were moons of different colors, some blood red, some silvery white, like pairs of eyes.

For those who seek to uncover secrets, this is the real world.

"That's a really scary story," Qin Sheng shook his head.

"If you keep your voyeuristic eyes open and keep watching such a scene, it's hard to guarantee that you won't go crazy."

“If it’s a spy from the Morse Order, it would be even more dangerous,” Bernadette whispered.

“Every member of the monastic order is pursued by the Hidden Sage, who instills knowledge in them, and they constantly hear the ravings of evil gods.”

The members of the Morse Ascetic could not refuse such an infusion of knowledge, after all, they were followers of the Hidden Sage.

If you can digest and master a large amount of knowledge in a timely manner after it enters your mind, you will not encounter any danger, but will instead benefit from it.

But if you can't digest it, then you either have to rely on willpower to get through that period of infusion, or you'll lose control if you can't hold on.

You can either lower your guard and let the Hidden Sage transform you into His form, but this also means you will be corrupted by the evil god.

This shows that the Morse Ascetic Order and the Aurora Order are somewhat different.

The former may have people who are not crazy and remain untainted by the mud, but the latter will not.

While talking with Bernadette, Qin Sheng prepared the Astrologer's Potion, a clear, transparent liquid that was almost solidified into crystal.

Without hesitation, Qin Sheng drank it down in one gulp.

The next second, many small lumps swelled up inside his body. The consequences of drinking multiple types of potions mixed together began to appear. An ordinary person would have exploded by now.

However, Qin Sheng's spirit remained unchanged, subduing the turbulent power within him.

"He gained the ability to divine and counter-divine, as well as a sense of danger."

Sequence 7, we can't expect too much.

Next up is the magic potion from the arcane master. Once prepared, it is a dark red liquid with pieces of brass-colored scales floating on top of it.

"The ritual for advancing to the rank of arcane master involves teaching five intermediate-sequence extraordinary individuals to independently comprehend the method of role-playing. Do you wish to participate?" Bernadette asked.

"No need." Qin Sheng tilted his head back and downed the potion with great gusto, much to Bernadette's alarm. If this continued...

What will become of my Uncle Qin in the end?

Mystic arts mentors are able to learn and master numerous mystical arts, and those with profound knowledge can even create their own, including techniques to slow down the loss of control in extraordinary individuals.

This is one of the cornerstones of God's omniscience and omnipotence, and it is very fitting for those who seek the secrets.

If someone unfamiliar with the mysterious world were to look at it, they might actually think that the person seeking the secrets and the reader are on adjacent paths.

The magic potion power of the arcane master erupted within Qin Sheng's body, making this conflict even more intense.

Hearing delirious words, his mind was in turmoil, his body was deformed, and eyes burst open from flesh, dripping with blood, their pupils white.

Bernadette was very vigilant and ready to take action at any time to suppress Uncle Qin.

A few minutes later, Qin Sheng suppressed the power within him, a glint of white appearing in his eyes. He softly murmured:
"Stabilize the mind like a monkey and you will become an enlightened being; tether the will like a wild horse and you will transform into a dragon."

"You mean your hometown?" Bernadette asked, puzzled.

What does this mean? Is it some kind of mysterious spell?
"I don't blame you for not understanding since you've never been to school." Qin Sheng assessed his own condition and nodded in satisfaction.

"My analytical, learning, insight, and creative abilities have improved significantly. The knowledge gained through reading focuses on 'knowing'."

Qin Sheng had a sudden realization and understood the differences between the three paths.

Omniscience means that nothing can be hidden from you; you can know whatever you want to know, but this requires an active process of seeking knowledge.

The "demon of knowledge" that seekers and those with broad knowledge reach is the essence of knowledge itself.

These three things look very similar, but they are actually fundamentally different. However, it is undeniable that they are closely related.

"Taking potions like this is too risky. You can still control potions below Sequence 4, but when it comes to demigods or even angels, it will definitely have an irreversible effect on you," Bernadette warned.

"I can control it," Qin Sheng said confidently.

"The ancient gods of the Second Age were just mad, they didn't die."

Bernadette: "..."

Isn't madness a terrible and serious outcome?
You're being too extreme.

Qin Sheng could only say, "You don't understand unless you're cheating."

He even felt that after he became a "Knowledge Demon" in the future, he might be able to try to consume a second, or even a third, portion of Source Essence.

Theoretically, it is feasible to have two source materials, as long as the second source material is one of the three: the Source Castle, the Chaos Sea, or the Mother Nest.

As for accommodating the three sources...

In the past, anyone who dared to do this would inevitably lose control of their instinct to unite and gravitate towards the original Creator.

But Qin Sheng felt that by the time he became an ancient being, he might have already reached some level of cultivation in other worlds.

Perhaps we can hold on.

"The more Source I consume, the fewer targets the Outer Gods will have, and the less pressure there will be on Earth."

This could be considered a roundabout way to save the ball.

“In addition, I have a Reader’s Path Sequence 4, a clue to the Prophet’s Master Material,” Bernadette said, adding more good news.

In the initial deal they made, Bernadette would only provide clues about the demigod properties or potions of the reader and apprentice, without personally seeking them out.

"Tell me, and I'll go check it out later," Qin Sheng nodded.

"As for apprentices... we'll have to go to Abraham for that."

Bernadette: "I have an uncle who was a member of Abraham's clan, and I am working towards that goal."

"I also have a direction for the recipe of the apprenticeship path," Qin Sheng said.

Why not ask Mr. Door, the magician?
He knew the name of this angel king who was closest to the gods, and since Roselle could communicate with Mr. Men, Qin Sheng could naturally do the same.

As long as we don't send Him back, or He volunteers to go to the moon to become an astronaut, that's fine.

"Stay for a meal? I'll cook you a local specialty from my hometown, something that families in some parts of the country Lao Huang and I live in eat when they get together."

"can."

Living in someone else's house, using their gold coins, and eating their potions—it would be too heartless to not even provide a meal.

In the afternoon, Sofia's cheerful voice drifted in from outside the door.

"Noah, I'm home." She had just finished school.

Then Sofia saw her brother and an older sister wrapping meat in dough, as if they were making some kind of food. The older sister's face was all smeared with dough, and she seemed to be telling a story.

“Once upon a time, there was a little girl who sold nuclear bombs…” Qin Sheng looked out the door.

“Sophia, welcome back. This is Bernadette, my good friend.”

If Sophia were to introduce Beibei as her niece, she would probably think that her brother has some kind of weird quirk.

"Hello, Ms. Bernadette," the younger sister said politely.

Bernadette nodded, opened her spatial bag, and used her Mage's Hand to take out a dazzling gemstone necklace.

"Nice to meet you, this is a gift."

"Take it; it might be an antique from the Intis Empire."

Sofia took the expensive necklace in a daze, not understanding what was going on.

"Sophia, I'm going to be away from Bernadette for a while. Take good care of yourself."

"I will."

The prophet's potion's main ingredient is in the sea, and Qin Sheng needs to go out to sea.

Perhaps he can become the Pirate King.
