Mystery: Time Travelers of the Fourth Era

Chapter 542 The Wisdom of Our Predecessors

If this continues, it won't be long before Trensost is hacked to death by the Blood Emperor. Even though Trensost no longer resists the invasion of the disordered kingdoms through the barrier, he will still be killed by the Blood Emperor. Tudor hasn't even unleashed his full power yet.

If Trensus were killed, the genie's fate would certainly not be good; in fact, he would likely suffer a great deal of humiliation.

The "Brass Lamp" has the power to grant wishes. Normally, it can grant ten wishes, but generally speaking, even angels, if they take precautions beforehand, can only grant a maximum of two wishes, otherwise something terrible might happen.

Moreover, the wishes granted by genies are either fulfilled in a distorted form or come with unpredictable and extremely terrible consequences. If the realm of true gods is involved, the degree of distortion of the wishes will be beyond imagination.

For example, if one wishes to become a true god of sequence 0, then one's body and soul will merge with an evil god of unknown origin. Moreover, the wish must be concise, otherwise the genie can choose not to grant the wish. As a level 0 sealed artifact, it is extremely prestigious. None of the previous holders of this level 0 sealed artifact have had a good ending.

However, if the hermit were to obtain the genie, he wouldn't resort to deception, trickery, or word traps to cheat or gamble with this ancient consciousness. Although he's very familiar with such tactics, the hermit would still show respect to an ancient consciousness and wouldn't use the same methods as a petty thug or a brat.

Hermits will only openly and honestly make fifty, ninety, or even more wishes using the wishing lamp.

As is well known, in the setting, the sealed artifacts 0-05 are wishing lamps. A person can only make 10 wishes, and the higher the wish, the higher the price and the more dangerous it becomes.

If you put yourself in someone else's shoes, making two wishes and using language and preparation to avoid the harm that comes with them is equivalent to making no sacrifices, meaning the genie pays the price. Making more than two wishes basically means you will inevitably suffer the harm that comes with them, but the price to be paid for fulfilling the wishes is still paid by the genie.

According to this setting, regardless of the number of wishes (ten or more), the genie will ultimately pay the price. Therefore, the more wishes one makes, the more dangerous it becomes, and the more terrifying the genie becomes. However, the more wishes one makes, the more tired the genie becomes, and the more it has to pay...

Therefore, the more wishes you make, the stronger the genie becomes; the stronger the genie becomes, the weaker the genie becomes.

Although, according to the rules of the sealed artifacts, a person can only make 10 wishes, and the genie can refuse to grant wishes.

However, the sealed artifacts 0-05 were created using a Sequence 2 "Miracleist". The Genie is just a prisoner. Does he really think he can be in charge? Does he really think that when the dear Celestial Venerable is around, the Celestial Venerable needs to consider the prisoner's feelings when using the toys he made?

The "genie" is someone who takes advantage of Klein's lack of knowledge in the original timeline.

If it were the Hermit, atop the gray fog, using the Source Castle to control the "Miracleist" trait of this Sequence 2, he could forcefully make a hundred wishes. After that, the "Genius" would be too exhausted to struggle or cause trouble. Making wishes after that would be much safer. Of course, the "Genius" would still pay the price for fulfilling the wishes. The initial side effects could be mitigated by finding a way to delay the process. Then, the subsequent wishes without side effects could be used to offset the negative effects of the earlier wishes.

How could a true successor of the Celestial Venerable not know how to use what the Celestial Venerable left behind?

Faced with the firearms left behind by the Celestial Venerable, we can simply rape him openly and take whatever we want. There is no need for negotiation or communication. What is the point of negotiating terms, reasoning, or even fraud? That would be too shameful. The Lord of Mysteries is one of the three pillars. If he wants to get on the genie, he still needs to negotiate benefits and give tips. That would be too ridiculous and could make the Celestial Venerable come back to life.

It is precisely because this is the mind of a hermit, who needs no thought; his mind refreshes itself naturally.

Therefore... based on the wisdom of the "Lamp God" and his profound understanding of the Heavenly Venerable Fusheng Xuanhuang, the "Lamp God" had an extremely reasonable suspicion, no... almost certain, about what would happen to him if he fell into the hands of the "Heavenly Venerable's" true successor.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

Even with the Celestial Venerable right in his face, he still couldn't defeat this sixth brother.

But to allow the successor of the Celestial Venerable to act so arrogantly, what about the dignity of the past... the majesty of the Lord of Order...?

Therefore, the "genie" has changed his appearance and become a traditional, inexplicable old man with a magic touch, a true reincarnation of the legendary healer.

"Kid, let me give you a hand."

The "genie" has a very strong sense of agency, and the ability to grant wishes is very versatile. It can even influence the true gods to some extent.

Nowadays, what the "genie" does is very simple.

Two things.

The first thing is to make a wish so that the stubborn spiritual imprint left by the Black Emperor within the Black Emperor's uniqueness can be directly integrated into Terencesus's spirit. This may cause some personality conflict and make him a little more insane, but in the current life-or-death situation, this is not important at all.

After this fusion, Trensost became a more complete [Lord of Order]. Although his mental madness increased, his energy consumption and the sluggish operation of his authority were improved. In a typical case, he became stronger while going mad.

The second thing is that, through making a wish and by being a symbol of the ancient order, he has been given abilities that are almost like having a cheat code. Simply put, the current sealed artifact 0-05 has become something like the first blasphemous tablet or the mark of Klein (beacon of destiny).

To independently master the power of the source essence requires cultivation and accumulation.

But inheriting the legacy of predecessors is different; there are many such cases in the mysterious world.

In an instant, Trensost became unprecedentedly powerful. Because the barrier of the Western Continent was weakened and suppressed, the power infiltrated by the disordered kingdom was quite large, and it finally showed the strength commensurate with its identity. The Sword of Judgment, which was on the verge of shattering, became indestructible again and even pushed back the originally aggressive Blood Emperor.

"distortion!"

As Trensost's deep voice rang out, twisted black stripes appeared on the Blood Emperor's body. This fighting method had appeared many times before, and Solomon was certainly familiar with it. It involved using twisting power to distort and blend together the various different systems of authority within the Blood Emperor's body that maintained a certain balance.

For example, it's like haphazardly stirring together the complex meridians and blood vessels of the human body with red-hot iron chopsticks.

It's somewhat similar to the Origin Bullet that counters magicians in Type-Moon.
