Chapter 407: The Ascension Ceremony of the Lost Ones
During the last major upheaval in Backlund involving George III, he managed to digest much of the Chaos Mentor potion within him. Although he wasn't the main instigator of the current chaos, his involvement was enough to fully digest the potion.
Ascending to Sequence 4 isn't difficult; the challenge lies in choosing the right extraordinary path. Should he continue on the Black Emperor path, switch to the adjacent Arbiter path, or jump to the king in Yellow PATHWAYS path or the PATHWAYS ?
He was more inclined towards the Star extraordinary path. Since his birth, the Hall of Stars had been deeply bound to him. Walking the Star extraordinary path would best utilize the authority and power of the Hall of Stars.
However, he feared that the Star extraordinary path might progress too quickly in the later stages, similar to Klein's binding with the Gray Fog, ultimately serving as a wedding dress for others.
"Unfortunately, peering into fate can't help me see the road ahead clearly."
Hastur thought about how he had tried to use fate divination to see which extraordinary path suited him best. The result was that every path seemed suitable, and no matter what he chose, his future looked promising.
From this result, it seemed that he was indeed favored by fate.
Hastur pondered for a while longer, then focused on sensing the chaos in Trier that night to digest the Chaos Mentor potion within him.
It wasn't until the next afternoon that Hastur woke up from his slumber, having fully digested the Chaos Mentor potion.
After taking a bath, Hastur went downstairs to eat something, then returned to his room to wait for an hour until Sharon and Cattleya returned from their outing.
Cattleya seemed to be in a good mood, likely because Bernadette had contacted her.
Sharon only glanced at Hastur and knew that he had fully digested the Chaos Mentor potion and was about to catch up with her.
"Let's go back tomorrow," Hastur suggested.
"Okay," Sharon nodded.
"So soon?" Cattleya's tone carried a hint of regret.
"If we stay any longer, the Eternal Blazing Sun might cast his gaze down, looking for the person who fed his eye to a dog."
Hastur's jest made Cattleya's face turn unnatural.
If the Eternal Blazing Sun really pursued this matter, she would definitely be implicated.
That night, before Hastur and Sharon could leave Trier, they encountered the young man who called himself Ross Hurley again.
He had come to them.
His purpose was the same as last time, still wanting to invite Hastur to join the Eternal Blazing Sun Church, but Hastur gave him the same refusal.
Although he was interested in the Sun authority, he was still only at Sequence 5, and it was too early.
"I think we'll meet again in the future. I hope you'll give me a different answer then."
Ross Hurley didn't pester him. When he got up to leave, he glanced at Cattleya, "Feeding a god's eye to a dog is a blasphemy that requires atonement. You should visit the church when you have time."
This statement left Cattleya stunned. Why did the topic suddenly shift to this, and why was he so sure it was her doing, even though Hastur was the one who pushed for it?
"What does this have to do with me?" Cattleya deliberately responded coldly.
"Fate always leaves some traces unconsciously, and the traces you left weren't cleaned up."
"..."
Cattleya watched Ross Hurley leave in silence, then looked at Hastur with a strange gaze.
Hastur smiled, "I told you not to stay here, lest you attract attention. See, it came true."
"Why didn't he see you?"
"People are different," Hastur said meaningfully.
He naturally knew why. It wasn't easy to see him when peering into fate.
"..."
"You'd better find a chance to visit the Eternal Blazing Sun Church soon."
While Cattleya was still pondering, a voice came in. Bernadette had returned.
"Who was that person?"
"The Pope of the Eternal Blazing Sun Church."
Cattleya fell silent again, finally nodding to indicate that she would visit the Eternal Blazing Sun Church in the coming days.
Loose lips sink ships, indeed. The words of Roselle the Great were not wrong.
The Pope of the Eternal Blazing Sun Church carried significant weight.
She just didn't understand why Hastur could remain uninvolved in this matter.
Was it simply because she had started it?
The next day, Hastur led Sharon through the spirit world back to Southwell County.
Cattleya obediently went to the Eternal Blazing Sun Church. She needed to help the church with something to atone for her previous disrespect.
In this matter, Bernadette did not help her. Instead, she took advantage of the church's internal chaos to kill two high-ranking members of the Soren family.
Through her years of investigation, she knew that these people had participated in the massacre of the Gustav family. Now, she was merely seeking revenge.
...
In Southwell County, during Hastur's absence for more than half a month, Prince Leonard from Backlund had been bedridden for various reasons, leaving many matters to Alfred.
A few days after Hastur returned to Southwell County, Leonard Augustus finally got out of bed.
His legs were shaky, his face still pale, but the anger in his eyes was almost tangible, ready to burst out!
"Have you figured it out yet?"
As the younger brother of the King of Ruen, he naturally had powerful extraordinary protectors around him.
He hadn't paid much attention to the previous accidents, but the repeated incidents that left him bedridden made him realize he couldn't ignore them any longer.
If he didn't learn his lesson now, he would be truly foolish.
"Those who excel at manipulating fate from the shadows are either members of the Life School or the Yellow-robed Monks."
"We suspect the latter. It's an extremely mysterious organization, and even the major churches have little information about them."
"If that Earl Campbell is indeed a member of the Yellow-robed Monks, everything makes sense."
After hearing the report, Leonard Augustus gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and slammed them on the table. But soon, he coughed heavily.
His body was just starting to recover, and he couldn't afford to get angry.
After calming his anger a bit, he lowered his voice and asked, "Whether he is a member of the Yellow-robed Monks or not, if he is targeting me, he must not be spared!"
"The Yellow-robed Monks are too mysterious. We must be careful to avoid..."
"Avoid what!"
Leonard Augustus slammed the table again, angrily saying, "This is the Ruen Kingdom, the land ruled by the Augustus family. He is just a..."
Before he could finish, he got so worked up that he choked, collapsing into his chair, barely breathing, almost foaming at the mouth.
The people around him were experienced and quickly helped him back to bed, calling the doctor to check his condition.
They were used to Prince Leonard's frequent issues. Every time he was about to take significant action, an accident or coincidence would occur.
They had tried to prevent it, but these accidents and coincidences weren't curses; they were manipulations of fate.
Drinking water could choke him, walking on flat ground could trip him, and getting angry could kill him...
Those who manipulated fate from the shadows merely increased the probability of these events, turning small chances into large ones.
Only extraordinary individuals of the fate path could detect and change these occurrences.
But the members of the Life School had scattered since their president disappeared, hiding in unknown corners.
Even the Ruen royal family had no good solution for this.
According to the latest information from Backlund, the royal family planned to enlist the help of the Secret Order.
Although they weren't extraordinary individuals of the fate path, they could divine the corresponding fate fluctuations, potentially finding the hidden members of the Yellow-robed Monks.
In Puning Harbor, Hastur listened to Caius's report about recent events.
Apart from the situation with Prince Leonard, there was nothing significant.
As for the war between the Ruen Kingdom and the Feysac Empire, the Ruen Kingdom was advancing into Feysac territory.
The defeat of the Feysac Empire was inevitable. Without the protection of the War God, they had lost control of the battlefield.
Moreover, the everNight Goddess was beginning to devour the War God's authority, causing a fierce internal struggle within the War God Church, even more intense than the Eternal Blazing Sun Church's internal conflicts.
As time passed, the more authority the everNight Goddess gained, the greater her influence, tipping the scales further.
After dealing with these trivial matters, Hastur returned to his room to contemplate his ascension to Sequence 4.
After much thought, he decided to follow the PATHWAYS .
Even though the outer space was surrounded by ancient gods, he couldn't change anything even if he became a god.
Only by leveraging the Hall of Stars could he truly make a difference.
THE king in Yellow PATHWAYS , no matter how powerful, couldn't deter the ancient gods. Only THE RERURN OF THE STASTARS might effectively resist the apocalypse.
Currently, he had a Sequence 4 Fallen Count's extraordinary characteristic. He just needed to gather some extraordinary materials to use the Hall of Stars to perform the ascension ceremony to Sequence 4 Lost One.
With the Yellow-robed Monks' ability to gather, he would soon have all the extraordinary materials. Only the ascension ceremony would be somewhat challenging.
The ceremony to ascend to Sequence 4 Lost One requires: In a place where one's heart finds solace, consume the potion to ascend, then gradually forget everything from the past, becoming a rootless duckweed, guided only by the stars above.
