Mystery: My Encounters with the Celestial God

Chapter 425 Heavenly Venerable: It's fun to be a little mischievous (3K)

What's going on? Could it be that some true god has come knocking, or has the Heavenly Venerable Fusheng Xuanhuang returned?!

This was Klein's first thought. The strange phenomenon before him caught him off guard, and he stood there stunned for several seconds.

The gray fog surged, and the majestic palace trembled continuously, soon developing cracks. However, no matter how Klein tried to manipulate the gray fog as usual, it had no effect.

Because he is only a Sequence Six, he is only bound to and has a certain degree of connection with "Source Castle". At this stage, he cannot be considered the owner of "Source Castle".

A surge of gray mist rose above, and the buildings on it had long since vanished and crumbled. Klein wanted to leave immediately, but he was unable to do so for the time being.

Damn it, this is a total rip-off! I should have known better than to come here!

Although he silently complained to himself to ease his tension, Klein's movements were by no means slow.

Having studied under Amon for so long and practiced diligently every day, he didn't hesitate when faced with this sudden phenomenon. He immediately drew the Black Emperor card made by Roselle and placed it into his spirit body.

Although Klein did not understand the mechanisms above the gray fog, he knew his own weakness. Faced with this uncontrollable anomaly, he decisively chose to improve his own rank as much as possible.

Each time the Black Emperor card is contained, a ritual is performed, or the sealed artifact is used to cast the Paper Angel, the power above the gray fog is amplified even more.

This is the function of position.

Clad in black armor, wearing a twisted crown, and with his face obscured by shadows, the "Black Emperor" raised his hand and pressed down. The raging, restless gray mist momentarily paused, then resumed its churning motion.

No, something is vying with me for control of the "Source Castle," and it's almost done. No, the Black Emperor's rank isn't high enough. Although it's helpful, it's still not enough!

Feeling the immense force transmitted from afar, Klein's heart pounded wildly, and cold sweat involuntarily seeped from his forehead, neck, and back.

If the one vying for control with him was a two-meter-tall, burly man who could easily lift several hundred kilograms of stones, then the one who possessed the Black Emperor card was like a two-year-old child who had just learned to walk.

Let alone fighting against it, just surviving the aftermath is a testament to the "King of Yellow and Black, who holds the key to good fortune."

High rank, high rank, what else do I have left? Damn it!!!

Just as Mr. Fool was pondering what else in the pile of junk could be used, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a phantom-like, ancient bronze gate with various mysterious patterns appearing in front of the gray fog.

The bronze gate was completely beyond his control and influence, and slowly opened a crack with a creaking sound.

A hand suddenly reached out from inside and, as if joking, "laboriously" pushed open the bronze door that offered no resistance whatsoever, in Klein's almost blank and desperate gaze!

Hello~

Just then, a Chinese greeting seemed to come from beside my ear. The greeting was ethereal and ever-changing in direction, as if it came from the depths of the gray fog, or perhaps from outside the open bronze gate.

The hand that pushed open the bronze door has now disappeared, and outside the open bronze door is pitch black and nothing at all, as if everything that just happened was an illusion.

But how could this be a hallucination?!

Klein could clearly sense a cold gaze shining through the bronze door, staring straight at him!

"What are you looking at!?"

Suddenly, the "Fool," clad in black armor and wearing a twisted crown, spoke up and then picked up the most prestigious item beside him, 0-21, intending to make a final, desperate attempt.

Even ants try to survive, let alone a dignified "Fool".

After guessing his connection with "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" during the last tarot reading, the online keyboard warriors knew that he would eventually have to confront the being who had transported him to this world.

After all, that's how it's written in novels, and it's not hard to guess based on normal logical judgment.

But what he didn't expect was that this day would come so quickly and so suddenly.

If you're so capable of surviving, why the hell are you looking for me?!

With a wave of his hand, Klein attempted to use his remaining control to sever all connections with the crimson stars and rearrange their order, so as not to implicate the other members of the Tarot Club.

However, before he could take any action, he suddenly felt the sphere of pale blue light in his right hand become scalding hot. The blue light grew stronger and stronger, and finally it broke away from 0-21 and surged in front of a huge crimson star.

This deep blue light, like the shimmering light of stars, constantly changed shape, rapidly establishing a connection with the entity beyond the crimson star in Klein's complex and unfathomable gaze.

Seeing this, Klein was dumbfounded, feeling like a clown who had been completely fooled and was even helping others count their money.

Ron, you're a fucking bastard! I'll be a dog if I ever trust you again!

Do you have any conscience? How could you treat me like this? You're not human!

Feeling the power bestowed by the "God of Time and Space" within his body constantly vibrating, and generating a strong attraction and resonance with the star that had turned into a dark blue, Klein understood exactly what was going on.

Ron's path is unknown, as is the path of the "God of Time and Space".

Ron is very rich, and so is the "God of Time and Space".

Ron has a terrible personality and is very petty, as does the "God of Time and Space".

Ron's strength is unfathomable, as is that of the "God of Time and Space".

And most importantly, Ron appeared suddenly in Tingen, and the "God of Time and Space" also appeared suddenly in Backlund.

It was as if they were following him every step of the way, as if they were doing it all to get him.

What grudge? What grievance?

He couldn't care less about the messed-up emotions in his heart, nor about the urge and anger to beat up the brat, and he couldn't even think about whether Ron was plotting something or had any intention of harming him by playing him like this.

Because in that instant, his false status began to rise layer by layer, and in the blink of an eye he reached the level of an angel.

The blue stars twinkled continuously before dimming, as if they could no longer spare any more power to reach this place.

Although the power is limited, it is sufficient.

The connection formed by the blue stars seemed to resonate with the blessing within Klein, causing his heart to fluctuate between restlessness, pain, boredom, and contempt for everyone.

Even though Ron had no ill intentions towards Klein, the shared authority still made Mr. Fool dizzy, feeling as if his spiritual body was constantly splitting apart, as if he was about to become another person.

The closer you get to Him, the more you will resemble Him, until you eventually become Him, not to mention that this allows a Sequence Six to share the authority of an angel.

Klein was able to maintain his sanity and avoid being corrupted and mutated into a monster, thanks 99% to "Source Castle".

Creation, Empowerment, Transcendence, Key

Feeling the explosive knowledge in his mind, as well as the various abilities and their uses and explanations, "The Fool" didn't even think twice before directly mobilizing the Source Castle to borrow the power above the gray fog, using a pre-set combination to throw out a two-dimensional plane with no thickness that could crush everything.

Two-dimensional foil!

Ron’s authority appears to belong to “time” and “space”, but that is not the most essential thing.

"Time" can be understood as the development of things, but more fundamentally it is linear logic and multiple possibilities.

Although the underlying rules of this universe are chaotic, it cannot escape these laws. Time is just a concept that was added later to facilitate understanding.

"Space" is not about running around everywhere or creating all sorts of bizarre, illogical, and strange dimensions. Its essence is about creating everything, giving it concepts, and transcending all constraints.

Just like in various myths, Pangu did not create the sky when he separated heaven and earth. The essence of the creation was to turn 0 into 1, to create something from nothing, to create everything, and to give it concepts and rules.

You dog!!!

The old celestial being, who was admiring Mr. Fool's sweaty and horrified expression, spat out a curse.

That bastard! He kept saying he wasn't interested in "Source Castle," but he secretly hid so much stuff. He's really not human.

Although he had expected this, the Heavenly Venerable was not discouraged. If it had been easy for him to go up, he would not have believed it.

"The mysteries of heaven and earth are ever-present, the Dao's energy endures. Within and beyond the Three Realms, divine might is boundless. A net of heaven is cast, slaying demons and vanquishing evil. By the command of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable who opened the heavens and brought forth the Floating Dawn!"

Before the space, which had no thickness, could fall, "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" quickly chanted a mantra in Chinese. As soon as His command was given, the space in front of Him shattered in an instant, and then turned into specks of starlight that swirled around Him.

If you're using my services, can't I use yours too?

This provocative incantation caused the blue star above the Source Castle to rage, its eerie blue light suddenly bursting forth, as if it wanted to transfer all its power to "The Fool" Klein, who was perched high above the gray mist.

No, not too much. It's already full.

It wasn't until "Fool" Klein let out a painful groan that the eerie blue light, as if twinkling stars, regained a little sanity and severed most of the sharing.

"Hahaha, they're getting anxious, they're getting anxious!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the old Celestial Venerable did not hesitate at all, immediately severing the connection and abandoning his plan to reclaim the "Source Castle".

Because He didn't know if Ron had prepared any other traps besides this one.

After all, he gets to go to his precious baby every week.

"First, I'll go to Chernobog to retrieve the unique item, then I'll retake the Source Castle. That way, no one can stop me!"

"Damn it! I'm going to kill you!"

"You son of a bitch!!!"

In the starry sky, Ron instantly learned what had happened through the connection with the Source Castle, and he immediately kicked the smirking old Celestial Venerable in his mind.

He truly hadn't expected that this bastard would actually run off to the Western Continent and even get so close to his own source essence.

Is this even possible?!

At this moment, Ron had the urge to tear "Source Castle" to pieces, but he didn't have the time because of a group of Old Ones following closely behind him.

As an utterly despicable guy, taking on multiple opponents at once has never been Ron's style.

When the wind blows hard, running away is the only sensible thing to do. Anyway, the universe is so big, if I can't beat them, can't I just run away?

"You just wait, I'll settle the score with you in a few days!"
