Chapter 251: I Shall Intervene Personally

“…Ritualist?” Annan frowned slightly, his expression turning serious

He didn’t doubt Citalopram with questions like “did you really hear that name” or “are you sure” If a veteran ritualist was actually there, she had already done a fantastic job of co back alive

The path of ritual… That’s another way to attain extraordinary power in this world

There was no doubt that ritualists could be far erous than Transcendeds

There was only one end goal to the transcendent path—that was,ascendancy into i ie with the mortal eleant life of the mortal world and the benefits that were visible to the naked eye and within reach

For the rich and prosperous

Since it was a tool, they would naturally think of the efficacy and efficiency

The foundational rule of this world was that if one desired power, they had to bear the corresponding curse

However, since the poas only rented briefly, that would reduce the cost significantly

Indeed, the ritualist was unlike the Transcended’s approach of subli one’s lifeform level They wouldn’t even embark on the path to transcendence at all so the Gray Mists couldn’t hinder their e to satisfy their endless desires

In this case, the ritualists borrowed Trascended power using taboos, the real names of the deities, the rituals, and the relationshi+p with the deities

During the whole process, the curse wouldn’t flow into their bodies The residues of the ritual could be used as the raw material for other rituals

Therefore, their lifespan was unaffected They wouldn’t fall into nightht even kno to use the Deities’ Influence to eradicate the corruption on their soul… and even corrupt others’unnoticed

They were still reat power in their hands — a power that was beyond their control

Transcended ell aware of the price that must be paid to obtain power In their perception, those unworthy couldn’t get their hands on the taboo knowledge or a more potent curse

For the soul ascendancy process, the Transcended often had a probability of failing in their respective ritual But, that wasn’t the case for ritualists

As they held powers beyond their levels, they became fearless

To them, the difference between different levels of rituals was like “an explosion that could destroy a building” versus “an explosion that could destroy a city”

If there were a mishap, they would be dead anyway It wouldn’t make any difference

The only difference was howto others after their death

Those who had taken the path of ritual would never have cared about this in the first place

If one desired to be a ritualist, they must first have the awareness to pay any price and take advantage of anyone There was often the possibility of offending the upright deities

The ritualist had no reverence for power at all

Therefore, all ritualists anted criminals

Even if they did not commit any crime previously, they were constantly monitored, arrested, and even assassinated Everyone knew that once the ritualist had a mishap, they couldn’t stop nor suppress the ritual, unlike the ranked Transcended

No one kne profound the occult knowledge stored in ritualists’ minds was Similarly, no one kne the ritualists becae

Perhaps when they were young, they read the forbidden books collected by their parents;
