Chapter 308 - Chapter 308: Chapter 293: Past and Present Lives (2/2)

Carol felt a bit stunned and then noticed the Black Tide’s insignia on the envelope, which prompted many thoughts in her mind.

“Isn’t the ‘Tide Master’ already a big shot? Is there someone else behind the secret organization, the Black Tide?”

“What’s going on?”

She did not know the truth, but felt a terrifying sense of envelopment and subconsciously started swallowing her saliva.

The next day, Carol once again met the young woman who had brought her into the Black Tide.

“Hello, Madam Carol.”

The young woman nodded; she was a member of a minor noble family born in the land of the Four Towns, inherently an ordinary person without extraordinary power, seduced and recruited by Lilian years ago to join the Dawn Church.

“Hello…”

Before Carol could continue speaking, the young woman took her away, and they silently made their way to a ship at Nasir Port.

“Get on the boat; there’s a VIP waiting for you.”

After hearing the young woman’s words, Carol nodded nervously and boarded the ship.

She soon met a big shot!

It was Mr. Theo from the Fischer family, the butler!

Though he was not a noble, his status on the East Coast Province was still revered, with even several viscounts treating Mr. Theo with great respect.

After all, the old man was the butler of that powerful family.

“Hello, Mr. Theo, may I know why you have summoned me?”

Mr. Theo said calmly, “No, the person you are to meet is not me… What kind of VIP would I be?”

Carol’s heart skipped a beat; she found it hard to imagine someone bigger than Mr. Theo.

Soon, she heard a voice coming from not too far away.

“You are Carol, right?”

It was a woman’s voice; Carol nodded repeatedly, curious about who the other party could be.

“Hmm… His command is never wrong and is the first truth that we absolutely cannot violate, so, Carol, make your choice. After hearing what comes next, you must become one of us.”

Carol was stunned, and then listened as the woman revealed many terrifying things!

Originally, Carol, who should have gone through years of observation and three years of trials, was fast-tracked to become a Proselyte within a few months.

She learned about the existence of the great Lord of the Lost.

And then, she became a Proselyte.

The reason Carol was fast-tracked to become a Proselyte in such a short time was simple; the great Lord of the Lost himself had personally issued a divine decree to Lilian.

Since the great Lord of the Lost had issued a divine decree, all those observations and trials, undoubtedly, became unnecessary.

Even if Carol tried to run away, Lilian would activate the entire Dawn Church to capture her and force her to join the Church.

Of course, if Carol harbored any thoughts of betrayal, she would still be exterminated by Karl.

In fact, Karl wanted to conduct an experiment to grant the soul—once Narda, now Carol—access to the God Pantheon stairway on the Path of Divine Sacrifice again.

Indeed, after observing her retaking the path of the divine, he discovered that Carol’s grasp of the Power of Consecution came quickly, certainly much faster than in her previous life.

“It seems like every time she wakes up from a dream, the Power of Consecution is somewhat digested, I see…”

Karl quickly realized the reason; the essence of the Power of Consecution was the power of the soul, unlike the power of Bloodline that followed the physical body.

Since their souls remained unchanged, the understanding of that part of the Power of Consecution theoretically wasn’t lost after reincarnation.

“It’s only after death when the carried Spiritual Power was absorbed by me, and after reincarnation, the feeling of grasping the Power of Consecution is ‘forgotten’…”

“So those reincarnations, as long as they recall more of their past through dreams, can grasp the Power of Consecution more quickly.”

Through a series of research on Carol, Karl basically figured out the mechanism of reincarnates.

It seemed indeed beneficial to believe in him, and those who were reincarnates had a “special number” that allowed them to catch up quickly after “rebooting.”

“Interesting world.”

“Can the new life born from the cycle of the soul really be considered the same person as their past life?”

“And how do all these rules operate so precisely?”

He couldn’t help but ponder an inconceivable thought.

“In this world full of mysterious existences, is there a ‘god of death’?”

What would it taste like?
