Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 406 The Anti-Foolish Faction is Still Fighting (Two Chapters Combined)

After much deliberation, Qin Sheng made his decision. He named this extraordinary ship:

Azathoth!

"Both the Goddess and the Octopus might be punished by the gods, so I can't casually slander a renowned ancient deity; as for the Squid Submarine... I won't talk about it."

Qin Sheng knew what was going on. He and the Goddess of the Night were partners, and their relationship was based on mutual respect. He couldn't possibly create an octopus-shaped cricket goddess; that would be like poisoning the goddess's mind.

Did I give you too much freedom?
Edwina didn't understand, but it was Qin Sheng's ship, so she didn't offer any opinions.

"With your strength and this ship, as long as you are still active at sea, you will be the undisputed king of pirates."

Demigod status is the threshold for becoming a pirate king, with the only exception being the immortal king Agarito. He himself is suspected of not reaching Sequence 4, but his "Death Note" is a living, Sequence 3 whisperer.

"There are four pirate kings on the five seas. It does seem a bit out of place."

Qin Sheng nodded in deep agreement, “The throne of the sea has been vacant for too long; it’s time to welcome its true master.”

Since the Goddess of Night had specially bestowed this extraordinary ship upon him, Qin Sheng interpreted it as her wish for him to extend the claws of the demonic wolf into the sea and wreak havoc.

Sequence 0 of the Sleepless Man's Path is darkness.

It's time to let the sky over the five seas turn dark!
Among the Seven Churches, the Church of Knowledge and the Church of War both have maritime power, while the four major churches of Night, Sun, Steam, and Earth do not.

The righteousness of the Solar Path dictates that their people cannot become pirates; the Steam Church, on the other hand, focuses on machinery and has no interest in such things, as does the Earth Church…

She's called the Earth Mother Goddess, not the Ocean Mother Goddess.

As for the Church of Storms, the five seas are their territory, so there is no need for them to do anything extra.

The Church of the Night is the only one that truly lacks in this regard.

Let Qin Sheng be the last piece of the puzzle to fill the void in the Goddess of the Night!

Lightning crackled, and three lightning chains extended from the Azathoth, linking the Golden Dream and two other ships.

Then it flew straight into the sky, as if it had become an element, and went far away, leaving a trail of sparks and lightning in its wake.

spaceship!

"As expected of an extraordinary ship that incorporates the exceptional characteristics of the High Priest of Disaster," Vice Admiral Iceberg exclaimed.

The High Priest of Disasters controls the power of various natural disasters, capable of creating natural disasters such as tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes, and blizzards. It is a sequence with extremely strong destructive power.

In addition, each of the disaster priests can actually fly, reaching speeds of up to 500 kilometers per hour.

There are other abilities as well, too numerous to mention.

The Azathoth possesses these characteristics and related capabilities, making flight a simple matter.

Of course, neither extraordinary beings nor superhuman ships can use special abilities without limit, as that requires spiritual energy and "oil".

Qin Sheng carefully tested the ship's power and was overjoyed. He tapped his chest four times.

Praise be to the goddess!

As you know, I have always been the most devout believer of the goddess. We have many things in common, and we are both descendants of the past. She is incredibly powerful. We are one, advancing and retreating together, which can produce a very good mystical response.

After a minute of thought, I decided to bring my talent to the Church of the Night. I can't wait to wear the triple crown of the Pope of the Night.

As for Mr. Fool and the Tarot Society, I wish them all the best at the gates of Source Castle.

"You told Danitz that you are the chosen one of the goddess of night?" Lieutenant General Iceberg asked this question.

“That’s right.” Qin Sheng nodded.

“A devout believer in Goddess like myself would never joke about the divine.”

The matter concerning the favored ones will be addressed by the goddess of night through divine pronouncements, which will inform the church's higher-ups. Therefore, there is no need to hide it, as it will be known soon enough.

The goddess should introduce Qin Sheng to everyone in a dignified and respectable manner, giving him the dignity and status he deserves.

After all, Qin Sheng's status as a follower was not obtained through back channels; it has withstood the test of history and the believers of the Night.

What Qin Sheng didn't know was that the divine oracle sent down by the goddess specifically emphasized that he was the first favored one, thus confirming his historical status.

Before he became a member of the Church of the Night, there was no position of "First Favorite" in the church.

For Qin Sheng, all he needed to do was distinguish between the identities of the soon-to-be-emerging Pirate King and the Goddess's Chosen One.

With this in mind, Qin Sheng said to Lieutenant General Iceberg: "The fact that the owner of the Azathoth and the Goddess's chosen one are the same person must be kept secret and cannot be leaked."

“Edwina, I trust you, but I need to cast a secret-keeping spell on your crew to prevent them from inadvertently revealing the secret.”

Lieutenant General Iceberg nodded, "No problem, I'll have them come over now."

When they learned that Qin Sheng was indeed a chosen one of the gods, the crew of the Golden Dream were in an uproar, and Danitz was dumbfounded, remembering what he had said before.

Oh no, this sir is truly a Chosen One of the Night, but I am not.

Turns out I was just bragging.

"Mr. Noah's identity must be kept secret," Lieutenant General Iceberg said sternly.

"If any of you betray Mr. Noah's information, then leave the Golden Dream."

Do not!
Captain, we've followed you for years, and he's only been with you for a few days!
After Qin Sheng planted the secret-guarding magic on these people, Edwina said expectantly:

"Mr. Noah, let's leave the rest of the voyage to them and continue exploring knowledge, researching secret arts and magic?"

"Extremely happy to."

After entering the captain's cabin, Qin Sheng asked:

"Edwina, you are a member of the Church of Knowledge. I have a question for you: Is it possible for outsiders to obtain high-sequence potions from the Reader's Path?"

The potion recipe is secondary; you can get it from the Goddess of the Night. The most important thing is whether you can find the potion ingredients or extraordinary properties.

The major churches often monopolize the materials and characteristics of the higher sequences in this pathway.

"We must pray to the gods," Lieutenant General Iceberg gave his generic, all-purpose answer.

During his journey across the sea, Qin Sheng did something else: he summoned Bernadette's messenger to send a letter to Beibei.

Tell your niece that Uncle Qin is already a Chosen One of the Night, barely managing to gain a foothold in this world, and that the goddess will help her with her Sage Ascension Ceremony, making it a sure thing.

Tell your niece to remember to pray to the goddess, express her gratitude, and be polite. If she encounters any trouble, she should contact Uncle Qin, who will go to the Church of the Night for help.

As for whether the eldest niece will have any objections?
Beibei, although I am in the Church of the Night, I always keep you in my heart. Besides, you can't stop me from going to someone better, can you?
"We don't know when the goddess will ascend to the Old Ones. If she is besieged by other true gods before then, she definitely won't be able to withstand it."

"If I were to contain two portions of the source matter, I would definitely be strongly blocked by the gods of the corresponding pathways, and even by other ancient beings."

Qin Sheng thought to himself, "If it's safe to do so, and there's an opportunity, I could find someone from my past to invest in me."

"The three pillars are the strongest beings from the past. God and the Celestial Venerable are dead and unlikely to be resurrected for hundreds of years. Only the Mother Goddess is still alive... Let's set our sights on the Mother Goddess first. Once we have the strength, we can talk to her."

Mother Goddess, actually I am also an "outer god".

We're on the same side!
When Bernadette received Qin Sheng's letter, she was stunned after reading it carefully.

"The Night's Chosen?"

My uncle is indeed quite capable; he actually managed to get to this position.

Beibei thought of her father and the God of Steam, and couldn't help but worry about Qin Sheng.

"You can believe in the power of the gods, but you can't believe in their mercy. The Goddess of Night is not someone to be trifled with..."

Roselle, the Son of Steam, received full support from the Steam Church in the early and mid-stages, getting whatever he wanted and being second only to God.

However, later on, he inevitably developed a rift with the god of steam, and they eventually became strangers.

……

Because of Ham's funeral, Qin Sheng stayed in Port Engmat for a few days, so the new Monday arrived halfway to the Misty Sea.

A burst of crimson light erupted, and the five members of the Tarot Club appeared above the gray mist.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool; good afternoon, Mr. Emperor..."

Squad Leader Ao's cheerful voice rang out.

After greeting them, Audrey immediately looked at Qin Sheng and asked expectantly:
"Your Majesty, please forgive my intrusion, but have you already advanced to Sequence 4?"

“I understand your curiosity. This is not presumptuous of you; we are companions.” Qin Sheng nodded with a smile. Xiao Li was truly the best straight man.

"Yes, I am already a Sequence 4 Mystic."

Unfortunately, it couldn't reveal its presence above the gray fog.

Great!
Audrey cheered inwardly, "Our Tarot Society has gained a demigod!"
At the same time, she longed for it. The title "Mystic" sounded perfectly fitting for the word "extraordinary," and she wondered what kind of abilities such a person would possess…

Although she was very curious, Xiaoli was still very sensible and did not pry into such privacy.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

The Hanged Man and his companions also offered their congratulations.

After obtaining the Singer's Recipe last time, Derrick successfully advanced and became an Extraordinary.

First, the extraordinary leads to the extraordinary; the Tarot Club has already achieved extraordinary status for all its members.

“Mr. Fool, I have a page from Russell’s diary this time,” Audrey said.

“I have a page too,” Qin Sheng echoed. This was the Tarot Society’s most loyal subject, accumulating contributions as usual.

"Mr. Sun, have you obtained the Mind Reader's Formula?" Audrey followed up with her question.

“Miss Justice, yes.” Sun immediately responded.

Afterwards, Audrey gave the Sun an extra 300 pounds as compensation, but because Derrick was in the land of the forsaken God, he could not receive the money, so the 300 pounds was given to Mr. Fool's follower... Klein.

The fool then compensated the sun in another way.

Upon witnessing this scene, Qin Sheng secretly realized he had miscalculated.

“I should make a request: Mr. Fool, please give me 150 pounds.”

As a lowly night watchman, isn't it only right and proper to show respect to the goddess's favor?

To give only half is already a sign of the benefactor's kindness.

“Sun, you can make a request of me, worth around 300 pounds,” Klein said.

"I don't need anything for now. I'd like to accumulate my contributions like the Emperor did, to prepare for exchanging them for the Sequence 8 recipe later," Sun said.
"I should be able to digest the praisers very soon."

Klein breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Derrick would ask him something he couldn't do, but he had the potion recipe for Sequence 8 of the Solar Path.

"Mr. Sun, do you know about role-playing?" Xiaoli asked.

"Of course I know, Silver City's general education courses teach role-playing." Sun replied in a tone that sounded like knowledge from my elementary school textbooks.

Qin Sheng was not surprised. In fact, the secrecy of the impersonation method was only for wild extraordinary individuals, as well as officials and church personnel.

Many clandestine organizations will teach you this knowledge directly.

After dealing with these trivial matters, Klein didn't immediately look at the diary. Instead, he looked at Qin Sheng and asked in a calm tone:
"Your Majesty, do you have anything further to say about the Goddess of the Night?"

This was a decision Klein made after careful consideration over the past few days.

The Goddess's Sword has arrived in Tingen to check on Old Neil's condition. Meanwhile, the Tingen Night Watch team has also learned about Noah, the Chosen One, from Daly.

Klein was secretly pleased at the time, as he was the first to know about it, ahead of the captain and the others.

Since the emperor had already reported the matter of the concubines to him, Klein believed that it was obviously impossible and inappropriate to pretend to be deaf and dumb and act as if nothing had happened.

Trying to cover your ears while stealing a bell will only make you look guilty. Instead, take the initiative and seize the initiative.

I've brought all the goddess's favorites to the Tarot Club, but she didn't appear this time. I'm still alive, which might mean that the goddess of the night can't locate or enter this place through the emperor.
Given the difference between himself and the Goddess of Night, Klein didn't think he would have the power to resist whatever she wanted to do.

We've already reached the worst possible outcome; whatever happens next will be for the best.

Upon hearing the Fool's words, Derrick was bewildered, Audrey's mouth gaped open, and Alger's pupils contracted sharply. "How come we were just talking about the Sequence 8 recipe, and now they're suddenly talking about the Goddess of the Night?"

"The goddess did not issue any divine decree, nor did the church give me any special tasks. I remain as free as ever," Qin Sheng shook his head.

“Mr. Fool, I cannot refuse the goddess’s grace.”

Of course, the goddess wouldn't give me divine revelation, because everything is decided together by us, including the cat-raising plan and the development plan for the Tarot Club.

The church certainly wouldn't give me any tasks, because they don't have the authority to command me.

Klein secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he was still alive.

At the same time, Mr. Fool also greatly admired the Emperor's loyalty, and at this moment he even felt apologetic for being chosen as one of the goddess's chosen ones.

Mr. Emperor is truly the most loyal minister of my Tarot Club, my confidant!
The Hanged Man, you should take note.

“Don’t feel burdened, this is an opportunity for you,” the Fool said in a low voice, comforting the Tarot Club.

I, the Fool, am tolerant and do not care which faction you belong to, because I am also a member of the Church of the Night.

If I can become a god in the future, I will make the Emperor my favorite!
"Mr. Fool is right."

Qin Sheng wholeheartedly agreed, “The goddess is generous; she bestowed upon me a sacred object, a demigod-level extraordinary ship.”

Klein: "..."

go out!

We, the Tarot Society, do not welcome class enemies like you!
You traitor, spy, tyrant, anti-fool, ambitious manipulator, night owl, and capitulationist!

We're both members of the Church of the Night, and I'm still happy with my weekly salary of a few pounds, while you've already received holy objects from the goddess?

Klein wished he could kick Qin Sheng out of the Tarot. A loving family.

“Ah, this is exactly what I expected,” the Fool replied, still with a hint of sarcasm.

Don't ask why the gray fog obscures my face; it's because my eyes are often filled with tears.

Don't ask why my voice is so low; it's because I'm afraid of sounding like I'm crying.

During Qin Sheng's conversation, the three men, including "Hanging Young Boy," never stopped talking.

Even newbies like Audrey and those illiterate about the history of the Northern Continent like Derrick knew what it meant to be bestowed a sacred object by a god.

This signifies receiving divine approval and sharing in divine glory.

So, Your Majesty, have you been blessed by the goddess of the night?

"Your Majesty, can you tell me what happened?" Squad Leader Ao could no longer suppress his curiosity.

"I have become the chosen one of the Goddess of Night. You... except for Mr. Sun, will probably learn of this through various channels in a while," Qin Sheng said simply.

Those favored by goddesses need not feel inferior.

"A chosen one of the gods... wouldn't that be another Emperor Roselle?!" Audrey exclaimed excitedly, straightening her back; she too was a believer in the goddess.

"Your Majesty, you are now the son of a goddess!"

Audrey, you can't be proud of this identity!
Qin Sheng: "..."

Oh, what a terrible name, Audrey! I swear, next time we meet I'll kick your ass in the ass with my boots.

Upon hearing the title "Son of the Goddess," Klein chuckled silently, the bitterness in his heart lessening somewhat.

Hey, the title "Emperor" is really...

However, upon thinking of the sacred artifact, the demigod ship, and Qin Sheng's destined smooth path to advancement, Mr. Fool's smile suddenly froze.

If recognizing a "mother" can turn you into an angel, then... it doesn't seem impossible.

I can talk, I can be the son of a goddess!
Derrick looked at Qin Sheng without saying a word, but he was filled with envy.

If only I could be one of Mr. Fool's followers...

The Hanged Man remained silent, processing the shock of this sudden news.

Wait, something's not right.

This is Mr. Fool's Tarot Club, so how come there's a follower of the Goddess of Night here?

We have a traitor among us!

I don't understand why everyone is discussing the Emperor's status as a goddess's favorite, as if our Tarot Club is a branch of the Church of the Night.

Wait, something's still not right!
The Hanged Man realized something and was shocked again. Alger suddenly turned to look at Klein, then realized his rudeness and quickly looked away, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

Mr. Fool clearly knew this information beforehand, and Mr. Emperor was definitely not the favored one of the goddess before. What caused this change?

Advancing to demigod status?

A demigod may serve as an archbishop or a high-ranking deacon in the church, but this does not necessarily mean they have received divine favor.

Mr. Fool also said that the goddess's gift to the emperor was within His expectations, and He was not surprised at all...

Alger felt a sudden realization, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the clear sky. "I understand," he thought, "there is only one truth to this matter."

Mr. Fool and the Goddess may have a tacit understanding, and Mr. Emperor may be the symbol of their cooperation!
Are the Fool and the Goddess on the same side? Is the Goddess of Night helping Mr. Fool revive?
What is the purpose of their secret alliance? Who are they targeting? The Church of the Night and the Church of War have always been enemies; could it be that they intend to take action against the God of War?
Alger's brainstorming session was filled with a trembling feeling, a mixture of fear, excitement, and anticipation as if he had glimpsed the secrets of the gods.

Miss Justice was only amazed by the Emperor's status as a favorite, which was too superficial, and she did not consider these deeper things.

Mr. Sun is trapped in the land abandoned by God, and there are many things he is powerless to do.

In this battle of the gods, if I seize the opportunity, I might one day reach the level of a demigod!
If I could become one of Mr. Fool's patrons...

Klein activated his spiritual vision and saw that Alger's emotions were complex, with fear being the most prominent, while Qin Sheng and Audrey remained as cheerful as ever.

“The Hanged Man isn’t laughing. He’s definitely not absolutely loyal to me. He must be a spy sent by the Church of Storms. He’s neither loyal nor honest.”

"Although the Emperor is favored by the gods, he is more devoted to the Tarot Society than the Hanged Man."

As for Audrey and Derrick, they were too innocent; Klein doubted that anyone would doubt them.

Even a fool can discern loyalty from treachery.

Having figured things out, Klein began to read the two pages of the diary, the first of which was given to him by Audrey.

"On August 2nd, the waters were deeper than I had imagined. History is truly a little girl who can be dressed up however one pleases."

"August 5th, today I witnessed the power of a high-ranking expert, it was simply terrifying..."

"August 9th. The events of the past two days have left me with a bad feeling. The industrial revolution I started with my own hands, the steam and mechanical age I forged with my own hands, will become a breeding ground for an evil god?"

The Emperor is a high-ranking figure, and he also possesses a sacred artifact. I wonder how strong he is; I really want to see it for myself.

Klein began to ponder again what it meant for the Industrial Revolution to become a breeding ground for evil gods.

Qin Sheng had already recalled the contents of this page of the Tarot meeting, and he sighed inwardly.

"The dark and gloomy factory, the extreme exploitation of workers, the countless diseases, deaths, and negative emotions—these are all the best nourishment for the birth of an evil god."

Immediately afterwards, Klein began to read the diary that Qin Sheng had submitted.

"On November 5th, Yali, who gave me a different experience last year, returned and successfully advanced to Iron Blood Knight."

When Klein saw this, he thought of the diary entry from last time, not realizing that this was a serial drama.

However, the emperor made a mistake in writing all the words, writing "he" instead of "she" to describe Lady Yali.

Your Majesty, your cultural level is worrying.

"Bullshit, nobody told me that the Hunter pathway's Sequences 5 to 4 change a person's gender, turning women into men, just like the Assassin pathway's Sequences 8 to 7 turn all men into women!"

"No wonder all the high-sequence hunters are men, while all the witches from the middle sequence onwards are women!"

"Damn it, Yali, no, it's Yali now, he actually says he still loves me! But I'm a real man, both physically and mentally!"

Klein petrified.

What TV series is this from?

It was quite interesting, though; this page of the diary was worth reading.

"transsexual……"

Klein felt a chill run down his spine. Luckily, his fortune-telling methods weren't these strange and unusual ones, otherwise he would have been dead already.

"I wonder how the Emperor finally dealt with Mr. Ari..." Klein mused, finding this kind of gossip even more captivating than extraordinary knowledge.

Qin Sheng was also pondering similar questions. Although he had fabricated those two pages of the diary, Roselle, who was from Intis, must have spent the night with the hunter.

So, what were Lao Huang's feelings after the hunter he played a friendly match with was promoted to Ironblood Knight?
"Find an opportunity to ask Bebe, and then write it down for Klein to see."

The scandalous history of Julius Caesar, personally compiled by the emperor himself, Mr. Fool, if you ever have the chance to see it, you should secretly rejoice.

Next, the Hanged Man started talking about what happened at the last gathering.

“I have new information that the hurricane will stay in Backlund for a while, apparently to complete a very difficult task.”

“I don’t know who gave him the task, but it seems to involve a very important item. If he gets it, he can quickly become a high-sequence.”

Qin Sheng remained silent; he knew what Hurricane General intended to do.

Someone offered him the blasphemous token in exchange for assassinating Duke Nigan of the Kingdom of Rune, thus propelling the tides of history forward.

The Blasphemy Cards are special items crafted by Roselle. There are twenty-two of them, each containing the recipes and rituals for one of the twenty-two divine paths.

It can be seen that for the top figures in the mysterious world, potion recipes are not a problem; the fact that there is a specific requirement for each potion is the real challenge.

"With such a great pirate remaining in Backlund, who knows how many people will die because of him?" Audrey was very worried.

Alger meticulously described Hurricane General's lifestyle and habits, hoping Audrey could find him. Finally, he asked:
"Your Majesty, are you interested in Vice Admiral Hurricane, and that thing that can help him advance to the high rank and become the fifth Pirate King?"

Alger was somewhat expectant.

With Sequence 4 and the relic, he felt that killing Hurricane General was as easy as stepping on an ant.

"I'm heading to the Misty Sea to search for potion ingredients. I'm not sure if I'll make it back to Backlund in time," Qin Sheng said with a light laugh.

"However, Vice Admiral Hurricane probably has no chance of becoming the fifth pirate king. I killed Victor of the Ironblood, and there will probably be other actions afterward."

"By then, all nations and major churches should recognize me as the fifth Pirate King."

So, you're also going to be the Pirate King. Klein thought to himself.

"Your Majesty, you've killed another great pirate?" Audrey's eyes lit up.

The Emperor's life is so exciting! I wish I could go on an adventure with him, but unfortunately, Audrey, you're not an adult yet.

"They weren't any big pirates," Qin Sheng shook his head.

"The bounty on the Ironblood is only a few tens of thousands of pounds, and I have no interest in claiming it."

Klein: "..."

What's there to say? I might as well just commit suicide.

Suppressing his heartache and sorrow, Klein announced the adjournment of the meeting. This tarot session had dealt him too many blows; his heart was now like shattered glass.

"If the goddess could bestow sacred objects upon the emperor from the divine realm, perhaps I could try using the gray mist for sacrifice and bestowal as well." Klein began to ponder this question.

"In this way, it will be much more convenient for Tarot to handle various items in the future."

"If successful, then if the Emperor has something to offer to the Sun, he can simply pray to me, and I can accept his 'sacrifice' and then 'bestow' it upon the Sun instantly, without needing to mail it..."

As he thought about it, Klein realized something was wrong.

"First online dating platforms, then call forwarding, and now they're developing express delivery services..."

I'm clearly the owner of the Tarot Club, so how did it turn into me serving the Emperor and his ilk?
