Apotheosis

Geoffrey was able to decode almost every Sanskrit word he met in the past. But today, even if he had decoded these two words, he still wasn't able to understand the meanings of them.

Zen thought for a while and asked, "Read those words to me. I'll try to remember them."

"Okay." Geoffrey proceeded to read the words written on the copper sheets.

But as Geoffrey spoke every word, all Zen heard were a bunch of strange syllables that sounded bizarre. Just hearing them made Zen want to laugh out loud.

Despite the humor and the strange words, Zen still managed to memorize them completely.

"Okay, that's it. I'm done." Geoffrey shrugged. It wasn't only Zen who thought that the words were quite odd, for Geoffrey felt the same way. "Can I go back now?"

"Yes, you can!" Zen gave his son's head a soft pat and smiled. "I see that you have a good taste in women. If you really want to marry the woman you like, then you have to tell me first!"

"Got it. But I don't have time for that now. I'm busy." Geoffrey pursed his lips and his figure flashed, disappearing in front of his father as he used the Grand Teleportation technique.

Meanwhile, Zen stood there with two Other Shore Keys in his hands as he tried to figure out what the Sanskrit words meant.

"What the Ear Mouse gave me is an Other Shore Key of Stage One. It means..." Zen muttered to himself.

The Other Shore Key of Stage Nineteen might be much more valuable than the one that he got from the Ear Mouse. Given this, he thought, 'That Ear Mouse from the Mice League is indeed cunning!'

However, Zen had to endure climbing up one step

tly endured the chill of the sea water in order to strengthen his Soul of Light.

At that moment, his Soul of Light was not much stronger than that of the others. He wasn't able to do much but cultivate. Fortunately, the water's chill was enough to constantly help him in strengthening his Soul of Light.

During the past three months, he had accomplished crossing the seventh and eighth lines together with Dorothy.

Crossing the eighth line meant that he had almost reached the end of the Sea of Truth. There, he placed his gaze on the blue sea water and saw small crystals that floated in it. These crystals might seem pretty, but they were ruthless enough to erode the Truth Boats that they were in. Despite this strong obstacle, he remained calm as he knew that this was a test for his Soul of Light.

After Zen crossed the ninth line, he would finally be on the Other Shore.

Meanwhile, from a distance, he faintly saw a vague shadow on the Other Shore. Not being able to clearly see what it was, he became determined to rush over as fast as he could to investigate.
