After circling the primitive island three times, the " Dawn " finally headed towards the distant horizon shrouded in storm.
Bernadette slowly withdrew her gaze and focused her attention on the " Sage Forehead Ornament " Levitation in the air.
As a " Prophet," she clearly saw the opportunity for advancement and understood that she had completed the corresponding ritual, preventing a disaster involving high-level forces.
But the price was that he sealed away his own father, whom he had missed and searched for for over a hundred years.
"What a wonderful irony..." Bernadette sighed almost imperceptibly, looking at the diamond-encrusted vertical eye.
After leaving Intis, she had two main wishes: first, to find out the truth of those events and see if she had misunderstood her father; and second, to follow in her father's footsteps and see what he had experienced and whether there was any possibility of his resurrection.
Bernadette's first wish has been fulfilled; the truth is that she did indeed misunderstand her father. This has eased her pain and anguish, completely dispelling her resentment towards him, but it has also added a great deal of guilt.
Harboring such guilt and long-held longing, she tried her best to fulfill her second wish, but the final result was far from pleasant.
If there had been no hope, she might not have had such a strong emotional reaction, but she clearly saw the light at the end of the tunnel, she saw her father, yet she had to personally send him back to his slumber.
After a long silence, Bernadette's slightly unfocused eyes regained their clarity.
She no longer hesitated, no longer blamed herself, and no longer felt any negative emotions. She resolutely raised her right hand and traced ancient words that shimmered with starlight in the void, summoning the Spirit World creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of wind. From it, she retrieved some of the auxiliary materials for the " Sage " Potion.
As for the remaining parts, since they did not require special preservation, they were kept in the storage room of the " Dawn ".
Not long after, Bernadette, through " Pale Death," shattered the " Sage Forehead Ornament " and concocted the Potion that would allow her to advance to Sequence 2.
Bernadette glanced at the " Sage " Potion, which was bubbling and gurgling, with a transparent eye hidden inside each bubble. With a resolute expression, she raised her right hand and brought the glass bottle to her lips.
She knew that what was needed at this moment was not sadness or sentimentality, but a firm heart and a will to move forward, because to help her father, Emperor Roselle, escape the corruption and be fully resurrected, a higher Sequence and greater power were required.
Therefore, she was willing to bury the pain deep in her heart, not letting it affect her mental state, only bringing it up at night when no one was around, to savor it alone.
As the " Sage " Potion entered her body, Bernadette's body became ethereal at a visible speed.
She broke down into streams of complex knowledge, transforming into a form of information flood.
The entire " Dawn, and even the surrounding gale, rainstorm, lightning, seawater, and waves, all lost their sense of reality, as if they were restored to the most basic and authentic information.
For most Sequence 3 practitioners of the " Mystery Pryer " pathway, this state is extremely dangerous. If their will is not strong enough, their luck is not good enough, or their preparation is not sufficient, the torrent of knowledge they have created will be infiltrated, washed away, and assimilated by various external information within seconds. They will quickly lose consciousness and will never be able to Reorganization their bodies again, transforming into a very strange and difficult-to-deal-with Monster in the mysticism:
Knowledge Fairy!
This is also known as " Information Creature ".
Bernadette, relying on the " Sage Forehead Ornament," had transformed into a torrent of information many times, although each time it was limited to two or three seconds and could not be maintained for long. However, she still had some experience. At this moment, she tried her best to maintain her own consciousness and established some kind of connection with the Spirit World information that was preventing a high-level disaster.
The information bore her distinct mark and involved a very high level, making it exceptionally "solid." It wouldn't be dispersed by other information in a short time, helping her to initially stabilize her consciousness and gradually gather the dissipating and fading torrent of her original information.
During this process, Klein, above the Gray Fog, tapped the edge of the mottled long table with the help of specially marked prayer lights, and used the " Miracle Invoker's " ability to change the probability of certain things and behaviors to a certain extent to grant Bernadette a certain amount of good luck.
Time ticked by, and Bernadette teetered on the brink of losing consciousness several times, but she always pulled through, gathering all her information and beginning to Reorganization her body.
At this moment, she could gradually feel the concern of " Admiral of Stars " Cattleya, and feel the members of " Element Dawn " and her own crew and Sailor praying every day.
This made her condition more stable, allowing her to resist the ancient will that was gradually emerging within her.
At that moment, streams of Concealment information appeared out of nowhere, attempting to merge with Bernadette while she Reorganization her body.
This is interference from the " Hidden Sage "!
As a kind of embodiment of knowledge and information in this world, and as Sequence 0 of the " Mystery Pryer " pathway, the " Hidden Sage " can exert a certain influence on those of lower Sequence within the same pathway.
Before Bernadette could use the Pale Mask, Klein's " Curtain " fluttered gently.
Around Bernadette, spacetime suddenly Distortion, completely isolating her area from the outside world, making even information exchange impossible.
Seizing this sudden peace, Bernadette completely Reorganization her body and, with the help of her anchor, initially balanced the terrifying will that had arisen within her.
At this moment, she truly became Him, Sequence 2 Angel of the " Mystery Pryer " pathway, a great figure in the mystical world who could be revered as a " Hidden Existence."
Immediately afterwards, she saw the Distortion spacetime around her return to normal, and she saw streams of Concealment information flowing towards her.
She then extended her right hand, easily grasped the information, and extracted the useful knowledge contained within.
Just as Bernadette was about to return from the Spirit World to reality, an orange light suddenly appeared before her eyes.
The light instantly coalesced into a chubby old man with a short white beard.
The old man smiled and said:
"Madam, I am ' Orange Light ' Hilarion."
" Orange Light "... Bernadette was puzzled, not understanding why " Orange Light " Hilarion had appeared in front of her—the two hadn't had much interaction before.
As the leader of the " Element Dawn " and a former " Mystic," she was no stranger to the Seven Lights of the Spirit World. She even knew how to pray to the Seven Lights and receive corresponding guidance through rituals. She knew that the Seven Lights were all symbols of the Spirit World, encompassing endless knowledge from different fields, and that they were definitely at the level of Angel.
Orange Light Hilarion, jokingly added:
"A great being has instructed me to impart knowledge about the Great Old One, Outer Deity, and the Starry Sky, so that you may have a more accurate understanding of the state of this world and its corresponding pollution."
"Which one exists?" Bernadette asked, both puzzled and cautious.
She vaguely sensed the answer, but still found it hard to believe. After all, the Seven Lights of the Spirit World were also important figures in the mysterious world. Even for the true gods of Sequence 0, commanding them was not so easy.
" Orange Light " Hilarion replied with a chuckle:
" The Great Ruler Above the Spirit World."
The Great Ruler Above the Spirit World... Bernadette repeated this revered name, her thoughts surging.
Hilarion glanced at her, smiled, and said:
He also has another honorific title:
"Mr. The Fool."
Onboard the " Future, sailing within a safe shipping lane in a certain sea area.
Cattleya suddenly woke up from her dream, her forehead covered in cold sweat.
In her dream just now, she saw the Queen fall, covered in blood, her chest and abdomen torn open, from which emerged a Monster shaped like an infant.
As a " Mystic " Mystic rose to prominence with a drop of blood from the " Snake of Fate," Cattleya believed that her dreams were not without reason and must foreshadow something.
And it was clear that she hadn't had a good dream.
Unable to calm her mind, Cattleya sat up, put on her cloak, and tried to pray to Mr. The Fool, hoping that this great being could give her some guidance or protect the Queen.
Soon, a scene appeared before her eyes:
The " Mystery Queen " Bernadette emerged from the Spirit World and returned to the " Dawn," gradually leading the ship away from the faintly visible, nameless island.
Cattleya breathed a sigh of relief and sincerely thanked Mr. The Fool.
After finishing her prayer, she felt extremely happy. She opened the window of the captain's cabin and let the starlight form a long bridge that fell onto the deck.
She then put on the rather heavy glasses and walked step by step along the glittering bridge of stars onto the deck, where she strolled leisurely in the tranquil atmosphere of the night.
As they reached the bow of the ship, Cattleya saw Frank Lee fiddling with some bottles and jars.
"What are you doing?" Cattleya frowned without realizing it.
Frank looked up, a bright smile on his face, and said:
"My previous ideas encountered a setback and can't be implemented for the time being. I asked Nina to get me some soil from the seabed to study the microorganisms it contains."
At this point, Frank said with great anticipation:
"Next holiday, I want to visit the depths of the North Sea or the icy world of the polar regions. Perhaps buried beneath the thick ice layers are ancient microorganisms from the Quaternary, Tertiary, or even the Second and First Periods. That would be incredibly rewarding."
You won't be getting a vacation for a while... Cattleya thought to herself.
Klein conjured a box, placed all four " Card of Blasphemy " inside, sealed them in layers, and immediately returned to the real world, heading straight for the nearest church in the Evernight.
He planned to inform the " Evernight Goddess " of the potential dangers of the " Card of Blasphemy " through a prayer, reminding her to pay attention to the relevant issues and prevent the " Earth Mother " Lilith from obtaining the "Mother" or " The Moon " card.
