"I have already obtained the potion formula of the 'Knowledge Emperor' from the oldest organization. Now, it is time to look for the corresponding materials. It may have belonged to an angel, or it may have combined with the surrounding things and turned into a twisted evil monster or a chaotic and terrifying '0' level seal. In short, we must be careful enough and it would be best if we can find the right helper.

"'Knowledge Emperor', the name of this Sequence 1 potion is really interesting. If I hadn't looked at the 'Profane Stone' directly, I would have thought it belonged to the 'Reader' path, belonging to the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' Church. What's even more strange is that these two paths are not interchangeable.

"I have discussed this matter with the mysterious leader and Mr. Hermes, and we have basically reached a consensus that the 'Reader' path represents the 'omniscience' in 'omniscience and omnipotence', while the 'secret peeper' and 'universalist' correspond to knowledge itself. They belong to two different aspects, one is more mysterious and the other is closer to reality.

"Oh, when I become the 'Knowledge Emperor', Bernadette won't have to worry about the 'Hidden Sage's' indoctrination, nor will she have to fear the pursuit of knowledge."

The Great Emperor finally turned to the path of a "Secret Peer". I wonder if he successfully became the "Knowledge Emperor"... Perhaps it was because of this incident that he completely broke with the Church of Steam, so that later he could not find any helpers and placed his hopes on the "Twilight Hermits"... Klein thought with half emotion and half speculation.

In addition, he was very interested in the Emperor's explanation of the "Reader" path being unable to be interchanged with the "Mysterious Peeper" and "Essayist", and believed that if he went deeper, he might be able to find the rules and principles of the interchangeability of extraordinary paths.

"In the eyes of ordinary Beyonders, 'Readers', 'Mystery Peeps', and 'Generalists' all belong to the field of 'knowledge' and should have a strong connection with each other. But the one in front is a heretic...

"'Reader' is 'omniscient' in 'omnipotent', then 'Secret Prayer', which is the 'Shepherd' path, is 'omnipotent' in 'omniscient'? And there is a certain overlap between the two, for example, versatility due to erudition, and erudition due to versatility, so they can be interchangeable...

"From this perspective, it is understandable that 'Storm' is omnipotent by land, sea and air. The spiritual realm corresponding to 'Audience' is a powerful supplement to 'Storm'. Then, why can 'Sun' be interchangeable with them? Considering that the last person with the title of 'omniscience and omnipotence' was the ancient sun god, does it mean that 'Sun' is the cornerstone of 'omniscience and omnipotence'?

"Hmm... According to this line of thinking, 'Secret Peeper' and 'Generalist' are different aspects of 'knowledge' itself, so they can be interchanged. Then what is the differentiation between 'Assassin' and 'Hunter'? What about the 'Night', 'Death', and 'God of War' paths?" Klein thought a lot at once, but he had neither the time nor enough information to analyze in depth. He could only temporarily put the corresponding questions aside and use his mind to move the third page of the diary to the top.

After a quick glance, Klein's mind suddenly focused, because the current diary was very different from the previous ones.

It has no date and the spacing between the characters is very large. Because it is an original version, you can clearly see that the weight of the pen is extraordinary!

Klein glanced at it, and the contents on the yellowed paper appeared in his mind:

"No! Impossible!

"how so!

"If my guess is correct, I was not the only one who had that experience!

"No! No! How could this happen!

"What I saw told me that everything will be destroyed, including everything I created! No! I will not accept this ending!

“We must work hard to save ourselves and stop pinning our hopes on the Seven Gods!

“Only by ascending to the throne of Sequence 0 can I and those I value be saved!”

“Should I try to pull Mr. Door back to the real world? No! Although He claims to be only Sequence 1, I believe that He is definitely not an ordinary Sequence 1! He is likely to bring me unexpected disasters!”

The Chinese characters, which were much larger than the previous two pages, filled the yellowed paper in a sparse and messy manner. There was not much actual content, but Klein's head was throbbing when he read it.

When writing this diary, Emperor Roselle was most likely already a Sequence 1 "Knowledge Emperor". The contents he wrote with intense emotions have a strong mysterious color. In other words, if Klein read these contents in the real world, he would probably become mentally ill, go crazy on the spot, or even lose control!

Fortunately, Ms. Hermit didn’t understand Chinese, otherwise she would have mutated when she was forcing herself to memorize the content... Even if she didn’t understand, she would have felt extremely tired and exhausted... If she was exposed to it for a long time and stared at it for a long time, auditory and visual hallucinations would be inevitable, and there would be a high probability that she would show signs of losing control... Klein thought with a sense of relief.

His attention quickly turned back to the diary itself, and doubts emerged:

"What did the emperor see that made him so emotional and his attitude so extreme?

"No, the passion and impulse between the lines are a little abnormal. They don't fit the image of a person who has been in a high position for a long time, let alone the status of an angel. Even in the last days, when the emperor said, "I won't care about the flood after my death," he didn't lose his composure or get so excited.

"Who influenced him? Or what tainted or corrupted him?

"Also, he mentioned that he was not the only one who had such an experience. What did he mean? Traveling through time? Back then, he was not the only one who traveled through time on Earth due to some inexplicable things. There was also me... or even more?"

Thoughts flashed through his mind one by one. Klein didn't waste any time. He made the three pages of the diary disappear. He smiled at Cattleya and said, "The Hermit."

"Have you thought of a request?"

Cattleya bowed as if she had been prepared, and said:

"I want to know why Emperor Roselle went crazy in his later years."

Audrey, the "Justice" who was sitting in the same row, blinked, wondering if she had heard wrongly. She had never expected that the "Hermit" lady would ask such a weighty question right from the start.

And how did she know that Emperor Roselle went crazy in his later years? And, and, she only submitted three pages of the diary, and asked such a question, which did not conform to the law of equivalent exchange! Audrey had all kinds of thoughts in her mind, but she did not stop Ms. Hermit from asking questions. Instead, she was very interested and inexplicably excited to wait for Mr. Fool's response.

The Hanged Man Alger, Emlyn the Moon, and Fors the Magician also held their breath and cast their gazes towards the top of the long bronze table. Only Derrick the Sun and the World did not seem to care much about it.

Klein the Fool thought for a moment, chuckled, and said:

“First, let’s establish a fact.

“I am not omniscient, nor am I omnipotent.”

He said this in a self-deprecating tone, but the Hermit and the others did not behave abnormally at all, and even behaved a little more respectfully.

It is obvious to them that Mr. Fool is neither omniscient nor omnipotent. Even without mentioning their own speculations about Mr. Fool's status, the fact that there is no similar description in the name of this hidden existence is enough to illustrate this problem.

Moreover, all the true gods and evil gods currently do not have the honorific title of omniscience and omnipotence!

After setting the tone subtly, Klein began to answer the Hermit's questions:

“I also want to know what happened to Russell in his later years.

"What is certain at the moment is that, due to some unknown reason or influence, Roselle has set his sights on Sequence 0."

He did not explain what Sequence 0 corresponds to. In the Tarot Club, more people know than don't, and those who don't know can vaguely guess it.

Sequence 0... The Emperor wanted to become a god? No wonder he went crazy in his later years... Justice Audrey knew what Sequence 0 stood for, and was quite moved for a moment, as was The Hanged Man Alger.

The Hermit Cattleya clearly understood the meaning of Sequence 0. She expressed her gratitude thoughtfully and looked away.

Sequence 0... Emlyn the Moon and Fors the Magician chewed over these two words, as if they had just realized that there was another level above Sequence 1, and this one belonged to the True God!

The Sun Derrick looked at Mr. Fool in confusion, not understanding what was wrong with the Emperor Roselle, who had a strong presence, trying to reach Sequence 0. In the City of Silver, if given the chance, every resident wanted to become a Sequence 0 true god in order to create a more suitable living environment for everyone, or to lead everyone away from that abandoned land.

Klein didn't say anything more. He leaned back in his chair, looked around and said:

"You guys get started."

After saying this, he manipulated the "world" to look at the "sun" Derrick and said with a deep laugh:

"I have the formula for the 'Notary' potion you requested."

"Thank you, Mr. World. As agreed, I will keep this debt in mind and wait for your request." Derrick the Sun said sincerely.

“Okay.” Klein replied while manipulating the World and having it pretend to ask Mr. Fool to materialize.

It didn't take long for the potion formula to come into the hands of the little "Sun".

Derrick happily took it and quickly glanced through the contents of the parchment as if he was hungry and thirsty:

"Sequence 6, 'Notary'. Main ingredients: 1 piece of Elder Tree rhizome crystal, 5 tail feathers of the Spirit Bird. Supplementary ingredients: 100 ml of the Brilliant Spirit Tree juice, 1 gold-edged sunflower, 1 white-edged sunflower, 5 drops of water fern juice."

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, The World looked at Alger, The Hanged Man, and spoke again:

"You know, the recipe and main ingredients for the 'Ocean Songster' potion you requested are now available."

Huh? Audrey and the others were stunned for a moment.

The Hermit Cattleya looked at the World with surprise. She remembered clearly that Gehrman Sparrow had hunted down the Slayer Gilchies just last week. So where did he get the formula and main ingredients for the Sea Song potion?

He wouldn't have killed another "Ocean Singer", would he? This was considered a quasi-high-ranking official in the Church of Storms...and it's only been a week! Cattleya felt that this was unrealistic.
