Cao Ya smiled calmly and said:
"That's just what was announced."
He glanced at the "Fool" at the head of the table, but did not react.
Of course, there was no way he would react. Klein was also very confused about this and wished Cao Ya would say more.
The other members also glanced at Mr. Fool, their hearts pounding with anxiety. Their discussion clearly involved divine matters; would Mr. Fool, this resurrected ancient god, be angered?
But judging from Mr. Fool's calm attitude, he should not be angry.
Cao Yadao:
"Sequence four and sequence three are demigods and saints, sequence two are angels, also known as followers of the gods in ancient times. Some beings in sequence one can be called the kings of angels, and gods... I mean true gods, not followers of the gods. They are all sequence zero."
"The names of those beings above Sequence Zero are not to be told to you."
“I think Mr. Fool is aware of this as well.”
After saying this, he politely greeted Mr. Klein, the "Fool".
Klein was quite embarrassed. "Teacher, I didn't know."
I could only feign indifference and give a soft "hmm".
To maintain the aloofness of the "Fool," Klein appeared nonchalant, but inside, a storm was raging.
Not only him, but also the three ladies, The Hermit, Justice, and The Magician, and the three gentlemen, The Moon, The Sun, and The Hanged Man, and all members of the Tarot Club were surprised and terrified.
They were astonished by the existence of Sequence Zero, which was actually the rank of a true god, and even more terrified by the concept of the sequence above, which was a level whose names they did not even know.
The names of the ranks are all corrupting!
This was beyond their wildest imagination. Before this, they had never thought that they couldn't even hear the name of a rank.
What exactly is it?
Meanwhile, they looked at "The World" with considerable worry. The book was so terrible; perhaps Mr. "The World" and his friend should just throw it away... Losing a few thousand pounds was painful, but it was better than losing their lives...
Klein wanted to rub his forehead; for a moment, he felt like his head was huge.
Sensing the heavy atmosphere, Cao Ya changed her tone, speaking in a lighter voice:
"Don't worry too much. That was sealed by the Imaginary Dragon, a seal of a true god. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't cause any problems."
But with things like this, it's better to be safe than sorry...
Klein smiled wryly, realizing he needed to give Lieutenant General Iceberg some serious advice.
At this moment, "Justice" Audrey exclaimed in surprise:
"The 'Dragon of Imagination,' is He a true god?"
How come I've never heard of it?
Audrey had heard of the seven righteous gods and some evil gods to varying degrees, but she had never heard of this Imaginary Dragon.
The Imaginary Dragon... Just hearing that name is quite unique. I wonder what extraordinary abilities it possesses?
Miss Magician muttered to herself, but she suppressed her curiosity and didn't ask Cao Ya.
I think I heard the Queen mention it...
The hermit seemed thoughtful. After the party, she wrote to the Queen, wanting to ask many questions if the Queen came in person…
"The Hermit" Cattleya suddenly became agitated, but maintained her composure on the surface.
The Moon and the Hanged Man were also very curious, as they had never heard of this "Dragon of Imagination" before.
Only Little Sun looked at everyone with surprise, then suddenly realized that after attending so many Tarot gatherings, he understood that his Silver City was in the Land of Forsaken Gods, while everyone else was located outside the Land of Forsaken Gods.
He certainly knew more about the history of many ancient times than the other members did.
"The Sun" Derrick recalled for a moment, then slowly said:
“I know the ‘Dragon of Imagination,’ also known as the Dragon King, whose divine kingdom is the miraculous city of Levihild. He is one of the ancient gods of the Second Age, belonging to the non-human race, and opposed to the Giant King. In the end, he was killed by the ancient sun god and his power was taken back. The nightmare dragon that he imagined was also killed by the ancient sun god.”
So it was an ancient god from the Second Era, killed by the Ancient Sun God... The Ancient Sun God perished two eras ago... But how could Mr. Cao Ya know so many secrets... What exactly is his identity? Can a demigod truly perceive beings at Sequence Zero, or even above that sequence?
The group of members considered the matter, but none of them dared to ask Cao Ya directly.
In any case, Cao Ya has already revealed his terrifying nature.
In the extraordinary world, the more you know, the stronger you become—this has always been an irrefutable truth.
Without some real skills, the pollution of knowledge can be quite a problem.
After a moment of silence, everyone resumed their conversation and transactions, selectively forgetting what Cao Ya had said, though it was actually deeply buried in their hearts.
Knowing this won't help if you're not at the required level.
As Mr. Cao Ya said, they cannot even hear the names above the hierarchy.
The skill level is still too low.
"Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya felt weak for the first time in a long time.
Cao Ya remained silent and observed the situation.
After exchanging ideas for a few more minutes, "Fool" Klein announced the end of the gathering.
As Miss Justice and the others rose to greet him, he cut off the contact, then leaned back in his chair and quietly gazed at the boundless gray-white mist below for a long time.
Klein did not rush to acknowledge Cao Ya as his teacher; he decided to wait for a better opportunity.
He was afraid that if they acknowledged each other now, the teacher would notice something amiss.
It's also because he wasn't fully prepared yet.
Klein was determined not to let his teacher know about his disguise as "The Fool," otherwise he would be ridiculed and humiliated on the spot.

Having left the Source Castle, Cao Ya's consciousness returned to his physical body. After pondering for a while, he packed his things, went downstairs to check out of the room, and prepared to leave the city and head directly to the sea.
Cao Ya soon arrived at Pritz Harbor, the largest and busiest port in the Kingdom of Rune.
The sky was somewhat overcast, and waves came in waves, blowing away all the haze and allowing the clouds in the high sky to roll and arrange themselves into various shapes, reflecting the golden-red sunlight.
Countless people wanting to go to sea flock to this largest port.
Everyone wants to make a fortune on the high seas or seek opportunities to get rich in the southern continent and those colonized islands.
The lobby of the "Prince Harbour Ticketing Company," which handles ticket sales, is quite spacious, with a total of seven ticket windows, but there were already twenty or thirty people queuing in front of each window.
Cao Ya glanced at it and abandoned his plan to buy a ticket and take a boat trip.
Damn, there are too many people, I'm too lazy to wait in line.
With his strength, he could travel freely on the sea whether he took a boat or not. However, he was subconsciously cautious and did not want to reveal his power.
But if you think about it carefully, if he really wants to become the Pirate King, defeating the four Pirate Kings is a must, right? At that point, would there still be a way to keep his strength hidden?
