"The source of this golden liquid."
After reciting the divination phrase seven times silently, Klein held the parchment and grasped the virtual golden liquid, leaning back against the chair back.
He didn't know whether this item, which was purely manifested through sensory perception, could be used for divination. He could only boldly assume and carefully verify.
In just a few seconds, Klein's eyes darkened, changing from brown to black, entering a meditative state.
His eyelids drooped, "Seeing" the illusory and hazy dream.
In that gray and fragmented world, suddenly a golden, dazzling sun emerged!
A low rumbling sound passed through countless voids, and the pure and clear light instantly ignited everything, the golden and scorching flames spreading wildly outward.
Boom!
Klein suddenly emerged from the dream, trembling and falling sideways, his body already turning into a torch, burning fiercely.
At this moment, his thoughts were completely chaotic, with no normal thoughts emerging.
Boom!
The mysterious space above the gray fog underwent violent shaking, the magnificent and grand palace collapsed inch by inch, the ancient and mottled bronze table was cracked into several pieces.
This terrifying change lasted for only three seconds, and the silence returned above the gray fog, as if nothing had happened.
The golden flames on Klein's body gradually went out, his surface was charred and rolling, screaming, until his thinking ability began to partially return.
He grasped the armrest of the high-backed chair, struggled to stand up, and was terrified and bewildered by the encounter just now.
Before this, he had never thought that just one divination would bring such consequences!
He took several breaths, raised his head to look around, and found that the majestic and unchanging palace and the ancient table had all been damaged. For this "gray fog above", which had never shown any abnormality before, this was an unprecedented damage.
"What on earth is going on? Did my divination point to some incredible being?" Klein partially recovered and, while letting the charred skin on his body fall off, began to speculate on the matter, "If it weren't for the mysterious space above the gray fog blocking it, I might not have even left any gray… Could that golden liquid be divine blood? I just saw 'Eternal Sun' or one of the powerful angels under His command? No, it was a sun, I felt more like the former… Oh, did I directly look at a deity?"
The more he thought, the more frightened he became. He felt that he almost completely exposed himself:
"It's truly ignorant to be fearless. Not taking risks won't lead to death… I can't believe I let myself be so reckless!"
"If I do it again, I really don't know if this mysterious space can still help me block the most fatal damage… Then I'll be completely dead..."
"Well, if I continue to use the golden liquid for experimentation, it's definitely not going to work. The existence that seemed like 'Eternal Sun' was also affected by the secretive, strange and sudden divination of the mysterious space above, and didn't have time to make more reactions… If He was prepared, this mysterious space might not be able to stop it..."
Thinking about this, Klein's figure returned to normal, no longer charred, but compared to before, it was a little dim and illusory.
He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, giving an idea for restoring the palace and the table.
The giant residence-like palace and the bronze-made long table instantly recovered, everything returning to its previous state.
Klein sat down, leaned against the chair back, and self-mockingly smiled:
"This isn't entirely a bad thing. At least I figured out where the limit of this mysterious space is roughly, and I have a definite goal… To fully move the power above the gray fog, one must approach the angel of the deity, right?"
"Ah, my 'Divinationist's Code of Conduct' must add another item: 'Do not randomly divine matters that may involve beings of high rank.'" "Well, don't go overextending your telepathic abilities either. If you look directly at something you shouldn't, you might end up Game Over right there. Outside, there's no such mysterious space to shield me from most of the negative influences..."
After a few seconds of silence, Klein's expression suddenly became strange. Because something was echoing in his mind - knowledge.
Yes, knowledge!
During that brief moment of contact with the entity suspected to be the "Eternal Flame Sun", Klein was always in a divination state. So instinctively, he divined some things and knowledge from the other party.
He quickly used the "dream divination" technique to recall and organize the gains that were not part of the original purpose, picked up the black round-topped pen that appeared, and wrote one by one:
"1. Do not look directly at the gods."
"2. Pure White Angel."
"3. The crafting technique of the 'Sun Flame Spell'... This is a relatively advanced solar domain spell, with an effect that lasts for a year before decaying... You don't need to perform a ritual to pray to the 'Eternal Flame Sun', but use the sealing object '3-0782' instead, stealing power from this mutated solar holy emblem..."
"4. Very hostile towards the Storm Lord, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom."
"5. 'Praise' potion recipe: Main materials, a crystallized sun flower or the tail feather of an adult firestone bird or a firebird's tail feather... A sea monster stone or a singing chrysanthemum... Auxiliary materials, a midsummer grass, five drops of July wine juice, a piece of elf dark leaf."
"6. 'Prayer of Light' potion recipe: Main ingredients, one piece of the Lightstone or the powder of the Fiery White Soul or... the blood of the Mirror Rat or the heart of the Molten Giant... Auxiliary ingredients, one Golden-edge Sunflower and three drops of Ginkgo Juice..."
"7. 'Light Priest' potion recipe: Missing main materials, auxiliary materials include, 5 grams of rosemary, 7 drops of gold citrus juice, rock water..."
"8. Sequence 4 'No Darker' potion recipe, main materials can be extracted from the golden divine blood in the mutated solar holy emblem, or three tail feathers of an adult solar god bird and one piece of sacred luminous stone can be used instead, the auxiliary materials are missing..."
After writing down the above eight items, Klein couldn't help tapping on the edge of the bronze long table.
This harvest was much more than he had imagined!
For him, surviving in that rash and reckless divination just now was already very satisfying. Who knew there was this additional "survival bonus".
From the internal data of the night watchmen, he knew that the sequence path mastered by the "Eternal Flame Sun" church was called "Sun", and sequence 9 was "Praise", a profession that brings courage and strength, as well as piety and obedience to oneself and one's companions through singing. Their slogan is: "Let's praise the Sun!"
The corresponding sequence 8 is "Prayer Lighter", capable of casting some spells and rituals within the solar domain, very restrain dead bodies and ghosts. Sequence 7 is called "Solar Priest", with greatly enhanced magic and sacrificial abilities within this domain.
"So, I have obtained the complete potion recipes for sequence 9 and sequence 8 of the 'Sun' path. Well, different from the previous ones, this time's potion recipes also list substitutes or the names of materials from different periods... Truly, this is a formula directly divined from the 'Eternal Flame Sun'!" Klein thought with satisfaction.
Regarding the request of the young man from Silver City, his original plan was to see if "The Hangman" could solve it. After all, the Storm Lord Church and the Eternal Flame Sun Church are both the oldest orthodox sects, cooperating and opposing each other for thousands or tens of thousands of years. Within the former, there is no less the beginning sequence of the "Sun" path that is stored in the collection.
The "Hangman" might not have paid attention to this kind of matter before and had never applied to access the relevant materials. But considering his possible identity as Sequence 7 "The Navigator", it would have been relatively easy to obtain them. However, he is no longer needed now, and I have solved it myself in an unimaginable and extremely dangerous way... Miss Justice, Mr. Hangman, Sun Classmate, your fools almost turned into charred corpses... Klein, still a little shaken, chuckled to himself in his heart.
He lowered his head and examined the records on the parchment, thinking about another formula:
"'The Light Priest' could be the ancient title of 'The Sun Priest', no, the internal materials of the Night Watchman never mentioned this at all, and the content I divined was not marked... Is this Sequence 6 or Sequence 5?"
"Sequence 4, 'The Darkless One'... This is my first high-sequence formula I have obtained! Unfortunately, the name of the auxiliary material is missing, and I don't know how to complete it... That golden liquid is indeed divine blood, and the sealing material '3-0782' is probably much stronger than anyone imagined. In my opinion, it is sufficient to become a '1' level sealing material."
"Well, it seems that the previous Night Watchmen only verified whether this item has the characteristic of being alive, how much harm it causes to the surrounding humans, how difficult it is to control the influence, whether it can deal with corpses and ghosts, and there is no way to figure out that special source."
"This mutated Sun Holy Emblem could probably even confront evil spirits... How could the verification personnel find evil spirits easily for experimentation in the first place... "
"As a qualified Night Watchman, I can't become the owner of sealing material '3-0782', but, well, I can find an opportunity to make the 'Day Flame Spell', steal its power... Ah, this time it's impossible. I didn't prepare the corresponding materials at all. How could a Night Goddess of the Night Watchman carry materials of the Sun Domain with her?"
Klein regretfully rubbed his forehead. Seeing no other movement above the gray fog, he finally let go of his worry and confirmed that "Eternal Radiant Sun" did not follow the trail to this place.
"Do not look directly at the gods, do not look directly at the beings of high rank, remember this sentence!"
"The Eternal Radiant Sun's hostility towards the Storm Lord and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom is extremely intense. Why is that?"
"What is a pure white angel?" ...
As his thoughts swirled, Klein felt a sense of emptiness and pain in his head. He also realized that time had passed for a long time and he had to return to the outside world as soon as possible to avoid being discovered as abnormal.
—Previously, he thought that it would only be a matter of divination in this mysterious space a few times, taking less than a minute, and there was a spiritual barrier separating them. Once it was triggered, his own body would immediately sense it above the gray fog. So he felt very safe and didn't consider too many unexpected factors. As a result, he almost succeeded in making a fool of himself and wasted a lot of time.
Because he was afraid of encountering a "purification light" upon exiting or discovering that the "mutated solar emblem" had been damaged, he picked up his heart and let the spiritual energy envelop him as he plummeted downward urgently.
The crimson moonlight entered his eyes, while the darkness was deeply hidden within. Klein saw the sparse woods again, saw the weeds ahead, and saw the intact seal "3-0782" in his hand.
After a few seconds of trepidation, he finally believed that he was safe.
Sigh... Klein let out a breath, feeling a deep fatigue after desperately testing his limits on the brink of death.
