As the golden light faded, You Lan Dai Er's armor had been replaced by a magnificent set of golden armor, making her look like a Valkyrie from mythology—noble, sacred, and inviolable.

The Golden Dumb Goose its grand entrance!

"Now, with this power, you have the ability to freely enter and exit most World Bubble."

Seeing the astonished look on You Lan Dai Er, Su said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, You Lan Dai Er's eyes lit up immediately—

"Then... Mr. Su, could you give Gwen a share of this ability?"

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Su couldn't help but show a look of doubt.

"Let me explain."

Seeing that You Lan Dai Er still cared about him after gaining new power, Gwen felt a warmth in his heart and explained with a smile.

"So it was Miss Seele..."

After hearing Gwen's explanation, Su nodded, but a hint of unease appeared on his face.

"It's not difficult to grant Gwen the power of Mustard Seed in Sumeru, but he doesn't have World Bubble, so he can't directly traverse World Bubble like you."

"It's alright, we still have time, we can try it slowly."

Moreover, I'm not entirely unprepared for this; even a little bit of information can be helpful.

Gwen was not disappointed upon hearing this, and instead asked a question.

"So, Su, are you planning to leave this World Bubble with us next?"

"No, I'd better stay here."

Upon hearing this, Su slowly shook her head.

"After all, Bishop Otto was not a peaceful person."

With me here, he'll have more reason to be cautious.

"That makes some sense, but there's no need to be so cautious—"

Gwen reminded him.

"In this world, because of my abilities, I have temporarily reached a reconciliation with Otto— "

Otto shouldn't make any major moves until my resurrection plan is declared a failure.

In comparison, it's more important for you, Su, to rest and recover.

"So the Eigenworld has changed so much?"

Upon hearing this, Su gently patted his head and readily agreed.

"In that case, I will leave with you."

As for this World Bubble, let's leave it here as a final insurance policy.

Shortly after, as Schicksal hastily mobilized energy to prepare for the second activation of the Thousand Worlds, One Law, the massive locomotive suddenly erupted with a beam of light that shot into the sky, and three figures slowly emerged from it.

Chapter 365 The Origin of Taboo.

Before the deep purple pillar of light, Rita's hair swayed wildly in the sudden gust of wind, but she did not retreat an inch. She held the scythe in her hand in front of her, her eyes fixed on the three figures that appeared below the pillar of light through her fluttering hair.

Although one of them didn't match up, Rita quickly matched the other two with Gwen You Lan Dai Er from her memory based on their height and build.

A moment later, the deep purple beam of light dissipated, and Rita was finally able to see the three people clearly.

Seeing Gwen unharmed and You Lan Dai Er, who was inexplicably wearing new armor, Rita's worries finally dissipated.

Even though Gwen had told her last night that the trip was safe and sound, Rita still couldn't shake the feeling of unease that the two people she cared about most had disappeared before her eyes.

Now that the two had returned safely, Rita finally breathed a sigh of relief, her smile returning as she approached the three of them.

"Welcome back, Gwen, Lord You Lan Dai Er, and this one..."

"Hello, Miss Rita, my name is Sue."

Before Gwen could speak, the pale-faced Sue introduced herself.

"Mr. Su, you don't look well. Do you need any treatment?"

Under the bright sunlight, Sue's face looked visibly haggard, and Rita asked politely.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Rita. Gwen has stabilized my injuries."

Su gently shook her head, indicating that she didn't need it.

Seeing this, Rita turned her gaze to Gwen, asking for his opinion.

"Su's injuries cannot be cured with ordinary treatment, so there's no need to waste our energy."

Gwen shook his head slightly after receiving a look from Rita and offered a casual explanation.

As he spoke, Gwen turned his gaze to Otto, who was strolling towards them not far away—

"As for unconventional treatment methods, let's discuss that after we've discussed it with our Bishop Otto."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Rita, understanding Gwen's implication, nodded slightly and stood beside Gwen, waiting for Otto's arrival.

"Welcome back safely, Gwen, You Lan Dai Er."

Otto's gaze was also fixed on Sue, whose face looked haggard.

"And this... pioneer."

"Greetings, Bishop Otto, I am Su, a pioneer from... Previous Civilization."

When facing Otto, Su's attitude became more serious.

Although he had witnessed the growth and failure of countless Otto and was arguably one of the people in the world who understood Otto the most, the power that the other party wielded was still worthy of Su's attention.

"Welcome to Schicksal, esteemed pioneer."

Upon hearing Sue's self-introduction, Otto's expression immediately became more serious.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Otto prepared to find a suitable place to talk to Sue in detail, but Gwen did not follow immediately. Instead, he met with the worried Anna and the others to let them know that he was safe before approaching the two.

When Gwen entered the meeting room where Otto and Gwyn were, the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

"It seems the two of you have been chatting for a while now?"

Gwen pulled out a chair and sat down, asking with a smile.

"Yes, I asked Mr. Su about my situation in other worlds."

Otto seemed to remember what Gwen had once said, and spoke the truth.

What was the result?

Gwen was indeed unaware of this, asked curiously.

Without exception.

Otto shrugged, as if talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"It can't be called a complete failure, but that kind of resurrection is not what Mr. Otto wanted."

Su, with her eyes closed, gently shook her head and added.

"Success is not absolute, but it is also absolutely unsuccessful."

Otto's attitude on this matter, however, was quite resolute—

"If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to deceive myself."

"There will be a day of success."

Gwen didn't try to comfort Otto, whose expression was calm to the point of being indifferent, but instead looked at Sue.

"So, Su, are you planning to stay in Schicksal to recuperate?"

Or should we go and look around?

"As for me, I won't wander around aimlessly."

Su gently shook her head.

"I know my physical condition very well, so I don't want to add to your burden."

"Speaking of which, I've been quite free lately."

Upon hearing their conversation, Otto quickly regained his smile.

"If Mr. Su doesn't mind, I might be able to try to treat your injuries..."

In order to treat the chronic illness of my old friend, I have put a lot of effort into the relevant field over the years, and now I have achieved some results.

Oh, by the way, Mr. Su, you should know who my old friend is, right?

"Magnificent..."

Thinking of the fleeting glimpse of him outside the testing grounds, Su sighed and accepted Otto's invitation, stating that he would cooperate with Schicksal in the research and use of the Second Divine Key to help Gwen fulfill his promise.

As the conversation deepened, Otto and Sue began discussing some obscure and difficult academic issues, at which point Gwen took his leave.

While he wouldn't completely misunderstand, there was no need to, since Gwen had much more knowledge to absorb.

Moreover, rather than listening to two intelligent people discuss academic issues, Gwen was more eager to complete the most fundamental and crucial training in knowledge as soon as possible—

Cosmo.

Sage prepared for over two hundred years in order to avenge the Twin Gods, and naturally attached great importance to the Cosmo training that determines the foundation of the Saint Seiya.

It was precisely Sage's modification of the basic cultivation method of the Sanctuary 'Cosmo that caused these notes, which he had spent over two hundred years writing, to become taboo.

According to the notes, the original method of cultivation in the Holy Land was to have those candidates who had honed their five senses to a certain degree empty their minds and meditate to comprehend their own Cosmo, to comprehend the power originating from the Big Bang, and then to detonate it to awaken their own Cosmo.

However, after years of research, Sage improved upon this most basic step—

Instead of awakening the Cosmo with a highly destructive explosion, it is awakened through a gentler ignition, thus placing it in a relatively stable state from the outset. This reduces the difficulty and threshold of cultivating the Cosmo, allowing the Holy Domain to possess more combat power in future Holy War.

Then, before Sage could implement his plan to build a Saint Seiya, Athena's Divine Oracle had already been delivered—

While the existing training methods have increased the difficulty and threshold for becoming Saint Seiya, they have also protected humanity on Earth.

Although the Holy War, which occurs every 243 years, is brutal, it mainly affects the 88 Saint Seiya are difficult to maintain at full strength in the Sanctuary, along with a slightly larger number of candidates.

If Sage were to spread his improved, gentler form of cultivation, the Holy War could very well expand to encompass all of humanity, and ultimately even incur the wrath of the Gods.

Chapter 366 Insurance.

After receiving Athena's Divine Oracle, Sage, though extremely unwilling, still carried out the Goddess's command—

Although Sage yearns for revenge, as both a pope and a human being, he also does not want the Holy War Sage affect ordinary people living on earth.

Gwen could understand this.

Greek mythology—those who know it understand—how did the golden and silver humans perish?

If the significantly simplified method of cultivating Cosmo were to spread, the Greek Gods probably wouldn't mind repeating the old story.

However, this has nothing to do with Gwen—

If the Greek Gods are so capable, let them try enforcing the law across the universe.

Gwen's reason for needing to cultivate his Cosmo is quite simple—

Just like the healing techniques Gwen obtained from the notes of a Sanctuary healer, almost all the combat techniques he acquired from Sage's Notebook require Cosmo as a foundation to learn and use.

Without the foundation of the Cosmo, Gwen could only achieve a crude imitation, capturing the form but not the spirit.

Moreover, without the destructive power of the Cosmo reaching the atomic level, the power of this form is greatly reduced.

It can be said that if one cannot cultivate Cosmo, then Gwen's greatest gain from buying this notebook will only be the experiences and insights recorded by Sage within it.

As for whether he could cultivate Cosmo that seemed to exist only in the multiverse held in the palm of Chronos, Gwen was somewhat confident—
