Klein the Fool slowly looked around. Instead of explaining as everyone expected, he stopped sighing and asked a question with a smile:
"Where do you think the source of the twenty-two extraordinary paths comes from?"
This is one of the three most core questions in mysticism, and there has never been a universally accepted answer. Each school has its own theory, and no one can convince anyone else.
Cattleya, the Hermit, thought for a moment and replied:
"The essence of the world is knowledge, the essence of knowledge is number, humans are number, the extraordinary characteristics of the twenty-two paths are also number, everything is number, it has been like this since birth."
She was presenting the theory of the Moss Trappists, but this was not her own opinion.
"The seven major churches all believe that Beyonder characteristics come from the original Creator, who incarnated all things, including gods, humans, the sea, land, and Beyonder characteristics." Leonard "Star" briefly described. "Of course, this is an explanation for deacons and above. Official Beyonders below Sequence 6 don't need to know so much."
Then, he glanced at Emlyn the Moon and said:
"The Life School believes that the world is divided into three layers: the material world, the soul world, and the absolute rational world. Extraordinary characteristics are the projections of certain things in the absolute rational world into the material world and the soul world. Therefore, characteristics are indestructible, they are only reorganized."
Now it seems that the absolutely rational world advocated by the School of Life may refer to something represented by the "River of Destiny"... "The Fool" Klein thought of Will Auceptin, but remained silent and did not interrupt the communication between the Tarot Club members.
Emlyn the Moon looked back at the Star and said:
"As one of the rulers of the Second Age, we, the Blood Clan, believe that the extraordinary characteristics indeed originated from the original Creator. Then, different characteristics accumulated and gave birth to the Ancient Gods, and the Ancient Gods created different races."
This was the explanation given by the Blood Clan to the First Age, but Emlyn the Moon had some doubts about it. After all, he had been exposed to many secrets at the Tarot Club.
The Hanged Man Alger nodded slightly and said:
"Although there are many explanations for the origin of Beyonder characteristics, most of them point to the original creator. This is true for the Church of the True God, the Aurora Society, and the City of Silver."
"In other words, it is a relatively consistent understanding that Beyonder characteristics originate from the original Creator?" Audrey Justice asked thoughtfully.
The Psychological Alchemy Society mainly studies the spiritual world and the ocean of collective subconsciousness, and lacks a complete theoretical explanation for the origin of extraordinary characteristics.
"That's about right." Alger, the "Hanged Man," did not hide his opinion.
At this moment, Klein the Fool said with a slight sigh:
“Not all.”
He did not give a long speech, but just gave a relatively vague answer.
Not all... Mr. Fool meant that the Beyonder characteristics did originate from the original Creator, but not all of them. A small number of them were special cases? Is this why the "Tiller" and "Moon" pathways are special? Alger "The Hanged Man" thought of a lot of things in an instant and grasped the essence of the problem.
Since the matter had nothing to do with him, the "magician" Fors had been listening leisurely. At this time, he asked curiously:
"Dear Mr. Fool, it seems that what you mean is that most of the Beyonder characteristics come from the original Creator, with the exception of the two paths of Cultivator and Moon. Where do they come from?"
Klein the Fool said concisely:
"Starry sky."
"Starry sky"... "Moon" Emlyn was shocked and realized that the situation might be more serious than he thought.
——The Tarot Club has already shared the underground pollution and the dangers of the starry sky, and all members know that just understanding these two concepts will lead to erosion.
When Justice Audrey, Hermit Cattleya, and the others looked at each other, The Fool Klein added with a sigh in his tone:
"There are more than just these two."
He and Qi Guang have been in constant communication and have determined that six of the twenty-two extraordinary paths belong to the Outer Gods.
“Dear Mr. Fool, what else is from the Starry Sky?” Justice Audrey raised her hand as usual, and asked with caution and curiosity.
Klein the Fool responded concisely:
"'Prisoner,' 'criminal,' 'lawyer,' 'arbitrator.'"
The first two come from the "Mother Tree of Desire", and the last two plus the "Kingdom of Disorder" all come from the "Sons of Chaos".
——Chaos gives birth to order, but order brings its own shadow.
"Arbitrator"... "Magician" Fors turned around in astonishment and glanced at "Judge" Xio.
She just thought that this matter had nothing to do with her and she could just watch without worrying. Unexpectedly, the fire suddenly spread to her doorstep.
"Judgement" Xio frowned slightly, looked at the top of the bronze table and said:
“Dear Mr. Fool, I don’t feel anything unusual, nor have I ever received any divine revelation, um, from anyone other than you.”
Klein the Fool smiled and said:
"'Arbitrator' and 'Lawyer' are relatively good."
According to his understanding, the influence of "Son of Chaos" on the two paths of "Arbitrator" and "Lawyer" was not profound, and it was completely incomparable to the "Fallen Mother Goddess" on the "Moon" and "Tiller", and the "Mother Tree of Desire" on the "Criminals" and "Prisoners". This Outer God was so quiet that he seemed to have disappeared.
Magician Fors and Judge Xio breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they became more wary of the future.
Seeing that Mr. Fool did not explain too much, Emlyn the Moon sorted out his thoughts and said:
"The special features of the 'cultivator' and 'moon' pathways come from the 'starry sky'. The divine revelation that we sense is likely a form of pollution?"
The Hanged Man Alger glanced at Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the top of the mottled long table. Seeing that He had no intention of speaking, he nodded and said,
"That's probably it."
This is a test for me... Emlyn the Moon sighed and said:
"I have mastered the names of the high-sequence potions of the 'cultivator' and 'moon' pathways, but I am a little confused about two of them."
After becoming the Count of the Vampire Clan and a senior deacon of the Church of the Earth, he obtained the corresponding authority and could access a lot of information that he had not been able to access in the past.
Seeing that the other members of the Tarot Club were looking over, Gehrman Sparrow raised his hand and pinched his chin. Emlyn said thoughtfully:
"The Sequence 3 of the 'Moon' pathway is called 'Master Summoner', the Sequence 2 is called 'Creator', and the Sequence 1 is called 'Goddess of Beauty'; the Sequence 3 of the 'Tillage' pathway is called 'Coffin Bearer', the Sequence 2 is called 'Mistress of Desolation', and the Sequence 1 is called 'Nature Walker'.
"What I am confused about is that the names of these two potions, 'Goddess of Beauty' and 'Mistress of Desolation', both have certain gender references. What do you think?"
"..." For a moment, none of the other members of the Tarot Club spoke. Everyone looked at each other and thought of a possibility one after another.
After a few seconds, Audrey "Justice" controlled her gaze and said carefully:
"I remember that Sequence 7 of the 'Assassin' pathway is called 'Witch'. The assassins who took this potion eventually became witches."
...This is a test for me... Emlyn's lips moved slightly, but he couldn't utter a word.
When he saw the name of the potion, he actually had a certain premonition, but he was not willing to accept it and hoped to get another explanation at the Tarot Club.
Don't worry, you most likely won't become an angel. Even if you can, you won't have the chance to become a "goddess of beauty"... Klein muttered a few words in his heart, but didn't say these "comforting" words out loud.
The scene was quiet for a while, and "Star" Leonard coughed and took the initiative to speak:
“I share some things.”
In a moderate pace, he spoke of the wandering magician Merlin Hermes, the overnight reconstruction of the city of Constantin, and the "fully automatic wishing machine".
While speaking, he glanced at The World Klein without disguising.
Klein's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked the World Gehrman Sparrow to look forward and said:
"I will leave the east coast of Jianhai soon."
Eh… all of this was done by Mr. World? Has he been able to create miracles like this? As expected of an angel, it was Him… Audrey “Justice” recalled the information shared by Mr. Gluttony, a member of the Psychological Alchemy Association’s jury, and was surprised and amazed.
She did not use her "audience" abilities to conceal her reaction in this regard, as everyone expressed the same emotion, except for Mr. Star, who obviously knew it a long time ago.
Merlin Hermes... the wandering magician... "Magician" Fors memorized this name in the little notebook in his heart and secretly decided to keep his distance from him whenever he heard this name in the future.
This was not to say that she was still that afraid of Gehrman Sparrow, but she realized one thing:
There was no peace around Gehrman Sparrow. Something or other would always happen.
Of course, a little bit of instinctive fear is inevitable, just like the "fear" planted in childhood will remain when you grow up.
Taking pleasure in fulfilling wishes... "Fully automatic wishing machine"... Is this the role of "World" Gehrman Sparrow? "Hanged Man" Alger and "Hermit" Cattleya had similar thoughts at the same time, and then thought of one thing:
Some time ago, Mr. Fool asked everyone to make requests in the form of wishes when praying, and he would grant them.
Was He helping the World digest the potion, or were He and the World on the same path, and after reviving, they also showed similar characteristics? Little Sun had said before that Mr. Fool was performing a miracle, allowing the people of a city to be directly transferred from the God-forsaken Land to the outside of Bayam City... Considering that the World Gehrman Sparrow was still acting, this should not be something he could do... Alger nodded slightly, and had some guesses about the path Mr. Fool was on.
Leaving the east coast of the Sea of Time? Then my investigation will be easier. I can just make up a conclusion. At most, I can just write that Gehrman Sparrow has become a "miracle master" and is acting as... Anyway, we know everything we need to know... Leonard muttered silently and didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, Gehrman Sparrow, the World, looked around and said:
"What do you know about the 'King of the Black Throne' Barros Hopkins?"
