The light emitted by the wick was extremely viscous, like a stream of water with a lot of sugar mixed in it. It gushed upwards and gathered into a twisted and blurry pale golden figure.

This figure instantly filled the entire crimson star that represented the Hermit, causing Klein to temporarily lose track of the Admiral of the Stars, Cattleya.

Klein, who was sitting at the top of the bronze table, suddenly widened his eyes, and a thought subconsciously flashed through his mind:

It is worthy of being a sealed object numbered “0-05”!

Although the numbering of "0" level seals is often based on the chronological order in which they were mastered or understood by the Orthodox Church, it should be noted that this naming rule was formally formed after the seven major churches truly ruled the world, that is, from the end of the Fourth Epoch to the beginning of the Fifth Epoch.

At that time, most of the "0" level seals had already appeared and were known or obtained by the Orthodox Churches!

This creates a situation where, during the initial sorting, the more powerful, terrifying, and bizarre "0" level sealed objects are placed in front, and then numbered in chronological order of appearance at the same level.

In addition, although there is no such thing as the older the object, the more powerful it is, but the objects that have survived from the First Age, which even the ancient gods cannot trace back to, must have secrets that even the gods cannot fully understand.

In this way, it is true to some extent that the higher the number, the more terrifying the "0" level seal is.

Of course, based on this rule, those at the end of the "0" level sealed objects are not necessarily worse than the first 10. Perhaps it is simply because they were discovered late, or obtained late by the church, and there are no vacant numbers left in front of them, so they can only be arranged in normal order.

Just as Klein had that thought, the golden figure's gaze pierced through the crimson stars representing the Hermit and headed for the ancient palace above the gray fog.

Then, “his” voice responded in an unusually magnificent voice:

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Long time no see? Long time no see! He, he knew the former owner of Sefirah Castle, the "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun"? No, it should be "Him", the self-proclaimed eternal "Lamp God"... He could actually communicate with me directly with the help of Ms. Hermit's prayer... Klein's thoughts raced in an instant, and his spirit suddenly tensed up.

Based on these years of experience and relying on the ability of "The Joker", his body suddenly relaxed and he leaned back in his chair leisurely.

Then, Klein opened his mouth and responded:

"Oh."

He did not give an affirmative answer, nor did he argue that he was fake. He just showed a contemptuous, natural, and condescending attitude.

The distorted and blurry golden figure snorted:

"You are so weak. No wonder I haven't heard of your name in the past few thousand years."

Honorable name... Weak... "He" really knew the former owner of "Source Castle"... He was an existence active in the First Epoch? As his thoughts ran wild, Klein smiled and said:

"What you see may not be the truth."

"Haha." The distorted and blurry golden figure laughed twice and said, "You still like to cheat, but the state of the 'Source Castle' can't deceive me. Under normal circumstances, I can't penetrate the outer layer of protection and talk to you like this."

"How do you know I didn't do this on purpose?" Klein asked in a relaxed manner.

"There is no point in you deceiving me." The distorted and blurry golden "genie" responded immediately.

...Why do I feel like a fraud victim telling me that I have nothing left, even my kidneys have been sold...What did the former owner of Sefirah Castle, the one suspected to be "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun", do to the "Lamp God"...Well, some of the characteristics that make up this "Wishing Magic Lamp" belong to the "Miracle Master"...Klein used complaints to relieve his inner pressure, and then laughed:

“It’s not up to you to define whether it’s meaningful or not.”

The golden blurry figure of the "Djinn" swayed slightly:

"Judging from the current state of Sefirah Castle, you seem to be in need of a Miracle Master Beyonder characteristic."

He did not dwell on the previous topic anymore, but instead pointed out the situation he had observed.

...This guy could actually see this...His status is really high...He could separate the extraordinary characteristics of the "Miracle Master" in the "Wishing Magic Lamp" by himself? Klein's eyes narrowed slightly, and he almost lost his composure.

He immediately controlled his movements and expressions, and responded with a smile:

"If you think it is, then it is."

The blurred and distorted golden figure once again made the magnificent and lofty voice echo above the gray fog:

“We can make a deal.

"You remove the seal on me and let me return to freedom. I will leave the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Miracle Master' to you and only take the part that belongs to you.

"As for witnessing, you will use your own 'source essence'. Although you and I both have ways to fight backlash and reduce the damage caused by breaking the contract, it will not be completely without cost. You need to consider the consequences.

"I promise not to stop here."

Seal... Source... Is the terrifying essence of the "Wishing Lamp" that it contains a being at least at the level of a true god? Klein's mind moved, and he quickly analyzed the feasibility of the matter.

Soon, he made a decision, which was not to be deceived!

There are two reasons for this. First, he is not the real former owner of "Source Castle". There are limits to what he can do and what accidents he can withstand. Second, the mystical education he received in the "Nighthawks" team and his subsequent experiences have taught him not to make deals with unknown beings and not to have any fluke mentality!

With his mind made up, Klein calmed down a lot and focused on how to obtain more intelligence.

——The "Lamp God" is suspected to have come from the darkest, most chaotic and most mysterious First Age, so he must know a lot!

After thinking for a while, Klein raised his lips slightly and said:

"Do you think such conditions can impress me?"

He planned to see what the highest stakes the "Genius" could offer, so as to peek into some of His secrets.

Hearing these words, the eyes of the golden figure that was swaying like a lamp suddenly brightened, really brightened!

His gaze seemed to fall directly on Klein, and his magnificent voice shook the ancient palace like thunder:

"You are not Him!"

You are not “Him”… At this moment, Klein was a little stunned and a little terrified, just like when he was performing a grand magic show and the audience suddenly pointed out his specific techniques.

He didn't know what was wrong with his previous question, nor did he know what exactly went wrong, so it was difficult for him to analyze the pros and cons in a short period of time and give the most appropriate response to the current scenario.

...How did He suddenly discover that I was not the former owner of Sefirah Castle, the one suspected to be the "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun"... Wasn't that a very reasonable question? Since we are going to talk about a deal, we have to allow bargaining... The former owner of Sefirah Castle that the "Lamp God" knew was not like this? Impossible, how could a being who is good at deception directly give out his own bargaining chips without even negotiating or putting pressure on him? Oops, I thought too much, and nearly ten seconds had passed... Not responding in time would be equivalent to directly admitting the "Lamp God's" accusation... Klein didn't have much experience in being exposed, and he didn't think of what to say in the first place.

Just as he was on high alert, preparing to take out the "Star Staff" and mobilize the power of "Source Castle" to resist the possible remote attack from the "Djinn", the golden and blurry figure suddenly laughed:

“Hahahaha, hahaha, hahaha.”

This laughter was like stirring the soul, causing Klein in Sefirah Castle to almost lose control. He finally managed to stabilize his condition without leaving any trace.

There was no intention to attack, just the influence of natural dissipation... What was the "Djinn" laughing at? What was so funny about this? Klein frowned slightly, thinking of one possibility after another, but he felt that none of them were realistic.

After a few seconds, the "Djinn" stopped laughing and said in a cheerful tone:

"Even for beings at our level, fate is still strange.

"No matter who you are, the deal I just proposed is valid. As long as you can remove the seal and release me, I will return to the starry sky with my part, and the rest, including the Beyonder characteristic of 'Miracle Master', will be left to you. In addition, I will fulfill three of your wishes.

"How about this? This should be generous enough, right?"

Starry sky… Klein’s eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he keenly sensed some kind of danger.

This is a warning that comes from spiritual intuition.

He originally thought that he could pretend to agree, extract more information, and then rely on Sefirah Castle to default on his debt, but now he suddenly felt that he could not make a promise!

So, Klein made a prompt decision:

"Leave."

As he spoke, he severed the connection between himself and the crimson star that represented the Hermit.

The blurred and distorted golden figure suddenly expanded and then disappeared, leaving only a faint voice echoing:

"You will agree eventually!"

When the gray fog completely calmed down, Klein slowly exhaled and muttered to himself:

"The 'Djinn' is a powerful creature from the starry sky, and was sealed in the magic lamp in the First Age or earlier?

"The one who sealed him might be the former owner of 'Source Castle', who is suspected to be 'Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun'. This can be inferred from the fact that the composition material of the 'Wishing Magic Lamp' has the Beyonder characteristic of 'Miracle Master'...

"So, the 'Djinn' realized that I was not the former owner of 'Source Castle' when I asked back? But I have considered this point, so there is no problem in asking logically, unless the 'Djinn' and the former owner of 'Source Castle' had some tacit understanding or some secrets on this matter...

"The power of the 'Djinn' itself should not be able to reveal too much of the seal, but it can use the extraordinary characteristics that make up the seal... The 'wishing' feature is likely to come from the 'miracle worker' part, and then the 'Djinn' used his own status to amplify it..."

As his thoughts raced, Klein looked up at the crimson star that represented the Hermit and discovered that Admiral of the Stars Cattleya had not noticed the unusual movement of the Wishing Lamp.

Huh... Klein turned the reminder he wanted to make into a stream of light and threw it into the crimson star.
