"I am indeed a relatively outstanding white chalk. There are very few people of my age who can become white chalk in the entire secret world. It is not an exaggeration to say that I am a genius. But so what? There is no shortage of geniuses in this world. The number of geniuses is far greater than that of red people. There are tens of thousands of extraordinary people in this world, but there are too few who can become red people.
"In this world, if you want to gain the power of Chiyu, you need talent, opportunity, and background. I am confident that I have extraordinary talent and can reach Chiyu's standards. But unfortunately, talent is the least important of these three standards, and there are too few people who have opportunities and backgrounds.
"Especially background... This is the most important factor, and it is also what I lack the most. My teacher himself is at most a Cretaceous and has long been gone. The church only regards me as a tool to deal with the Afterbirth Cult in the future. My background is extremely scarce, because I originally did not expect to be able to really reach the realm of Red Spirit one day. Like many other extraordinary people, I look up to the power of Red Spirit."
Adele said this with a sigh, and Dorothy thought for a moment before answering.
"So you also think that Chiyu is out of reach? But I didn't see you being surprised after I was promoted to Shiyu?"
"Because there is no need to be surprised. Akasha is rare, and you, little detective, are even rarer. I have said that the most important thing for the promotion of an extraordinary person is the background, and the full support of the huge forces behind them. Little detective, you are the inheritor of the Path of Enlightenment, which has been extinct for thousands of years, and the spokesperson of the mysterious god Akasha in practice. With this background, no one can catch up with you. I have long been surprised by your surprise, so I will not be surprised if you are promoted to a Akasha or even a higher position.
"Rather than being surprised at your promotion, I'm really surprised at your attitude towards me. You're actually willing to spend so much effort to support me on the path of success. This is something I never expected. You should have more suitable... or more powerful 'friends' to choose from than me." Adele said this while looking at Dorothy beside her, and Dorothy shrugged in response.
"Support... Is this how you feel? I always thought that we were in a relationship of mutual assistance."
"Helping each other with the power behind you, little detective... haha, I really feel that I can't bear it. Not to mention the power behind you, our current identities are not equal. Although I have never gotten along with other Red Ranks before, in fact, according to some rules of the secret world, I should call you Your Excellency..." Adele chuckled and said this, while Dorothy waved her hand in response.
"Forget it, forget it... I'm not used to those names, you can call me whatever you are used to. By the way... you have finished helping me with the favor I asked you to do this time, what are your plans next?" Dorothy continued to ask Adele, and Adele looked at the sunny sky and answered.
"I plan to return to Pritt now to begin the next two steps of my initiation. I will retreat for a while when I am ready, complete the Dance for Myself, and then figure out how to prepare for the first Dance for Others.
"So, in the next period of time, little detective, if you have any problems and come to me for help, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you directly." Adele said lightly. After listening to her words, Dorothy nodded silently, and then also looked up at the sky.
"Is that so? Then I wish you a smooth ceremony."
…
After bidding farewell to Adele, Dorothy returned to the hotel where she was staying temporarily in this small town. In a fairly comfortable room, she sat in front of a desk, which was a strange gold product, which was the gold pedestal that Dorothy got from the Faro National Museum.
After looking at the golden pedestal for a while, Dorothy took out a small bag from her clothes and took out four crystal clear crystals from it. These crystals originally belonged to Queen Maria of Farajo, precious jewelry, and even belonged to the former First Dynasty. Although they were stolen by Frederico of the Dark Gold Society, at the moment before he finally self-destructed, the Phantom Thief incarnated by Neveu stole it out from the greedy metal monster again and finally handed it to Dorothy.
Now, what Dorothy has to do is to return these crystals to their original positions and let them guide her in the future.
Dorothy carefully placed the four crystals on the four grooves of the golden base and embedded them perfectly one by one. After all the crystals were installed, the originally incomplete golden base became a fine and precise work of art. The gold and crystals complemented each other under the sunlight, and the originally ugly base now looked extremely beautiful.
Guidance Key, this is the correct name of this First Dynasty artifact. At this moment, Dorothy was holding it in her hands, examining it carefully. After using identification skills to determine its usage, she spoke frankly.
"Show me the way to the world of archetypes through the path of pure reason."
Dorothy murmured slowly. After she finished speaking, the guidance key in her hand was silent for a while, and then the four crystals on it began to emit a faint light blue glow.
As time passed, the glow became brighter and brighter, gradually filling the entire room, illuminating the entire space with a dark blue color.
Under the illumination of this strange blue light, countless regular and thin lines gradually appeared in the air above the house. These lines continued to spread in the air, intertwining and connecting with each other, together forming one three-dimensional shape after another, just like graphics software performing extremely high-speed 3D modeling.
Under the outline of these lines, tall buildings rise from the ground, majestic city walls continue to extend, lifelike standing statues are constructed, towering stone pillars support majestic temples, and countless suspended buildings appear in the air.
In an instant, a miniature model of a magnificent city with no color but only structural lines appeared in front of Dorothy. Judging from its proportions, the scale of this city even far exceeded that of Tivian and Floz.
Densely packed buildings spread out across the land, with First Dynasty-style palaces scattered everywhere. Countless suspended temples stood above the city walls, and huge obelisks stood in a circle in various parts of the city. In the center of the obelisks was a giant pyramid-like building, which was the tallest building in the entire city. On top of the pyramid-like building, on the huge Benben Stone, a clear, open eye symbol was depicted on it.
In front of Dorothy, after the magnificent city was modeled, a series of general knowledge texts appeared out of thin air, showing what was shown on them.
"Heoperis - the Land of Divine Revelation"
