Maggie shook her head instead.
"Before I left the Nature Church, I read a manuscript left by a predecessor in the Elder's Forest Lodge. It recorded another branching pathway of nature... That's the path I long for. I don't want to advance to [Ranger], but to [Plague Doctor]!"
Chen Lun was somewhat surprised.
Wasn't that the path Akbin followed?
So he asked Maggie:
"Was the manuscript you mentioned written by someone named 'Akbin Kewol'?"
Maggie immediately looked astonished and said loudly:
"Yes! That's him! Leader, how did you know?!"
Chen Lun shook his head, inwardly reflecting that Maggie really was the same sort of person as Akbin in certain respects. Rather than answer her question, he sank into thought.
As far as he knew, Akbin in his previous life had followed this path to the bitter end, ultimately destroying himself... Because this lost branching Sequence was a path that predecessors had long since verified was certain to fail.
There had been many Sequence pathways throughout history, no fewer than a hundred, but only ten had survived to the present.
Those were-the pathways of the Seven Great True Gods and the Three Hidden Pathways.
Because True Gods genuinely existed at their ends.
This meant that the ten pathways were genuine, viable roads to godhood... The deities at their ends were the best proof.
All the other branches lost in the river of history had failed, because over those long ages, not one of the Transcendents who had pressed forward, one after another, had reached their ends.
They seemed to lack something of paramount importance, something that existed only in the hands of the ten True Gods.
Chen Lun did not want to interfere with Maggie's choice, out of respect for her. But out of concern, he still discreetly informed her of
