Chapter 58: Chapter 56 Completion of the Lost Ritual

“`

Byrne occasionally heard that in recent years, some Extraordinary Exponents on the Ouden Continent were trying to explore the Spirit Realm.

He found it hard to imagine just how great the risks were for those without the knowledge of the Spirit Realm or guidance from deities, as they continuously attempted to do so in the dangerously terrifying yet tempting Spirit Realm.

“What exactly does the Gate of Shadow mean?” Byrne asked once again.

Irene recalled the mysterious knowledge in her mind and finally summarized an explanation:

“The Gate of Shadow, also known as the Gate of Chaos, signifies the random “Transformation” of states; different Gates of Shadow lead to different changes.”

Random changes?

Byrne was momentarily stunned, a trace of fear arising from deep within him as he said:

“So, after we pass through this Gate of Shadow, the changes that will happen to us are also unknown?”

“Yes, but as long as we leave the Spirit Realm, most of those states will not persist.”

Irene took out a small knife to cut her palm, dabbed the blood, and slowly squatted down to make five symbols of mystic studies amid the ruins.

They respectively symbolize “Limitation,” “Contraction,” “Expansion,” “Exchange,” and “Reception.”

This was to record the coordinates of the Spirit Realm’s location so that the next time they entered the Spirit Realm, they could directly arrive here without needing to search for the Gate of Shadow again.

After completing everything, she stood up, extended her hand, and gazed solemnly at the black vortex.

Faint blue light points, almost indiscernible, emerged from the three of them and drifted slowly toward the Gate of Shadow.

The purple vortex immediately vanished, and the black vortex gradually expanded until it occupied the entire field of vision, and at that instant, they sensed anomalies in the world.

“We have already passed through the Gate of Shadow.”

As soon as Irene finished speaking, she discovered that the entire city’s ruins had turned into shades of black and white, and they too became beings of only black and white, as if they had become life forms from another dimension.

As for what condition they were currently in, Irene felt quite puzzled, yet she did not show it and calmly turned to Grandma Narda, saying:

“My lord is not only the Dawn but also Redemption, and beyond all things in the world, the great Lord of the Lost that will awaken again. You, having undergone this ritual without light or shadow, will thereafter be able to serve Him even more closely.”

Although she was also visiting the Spirit Realm and passing through the Gate of Shadow for the first time, it was crucial to appear as undaunted as possible, otherwise, it might cause Grandma Narda to look down upon her in her heart.

Byrne took out a special elixir from his waist and passed it to Grandma Narda, who had long been anticipating it, and she was nearly overflowing with gratefulness to him and his sister.

The potion was consumed in one gulp.

Cold, viscous, and even dizzying, the terrible taste was nevertheless accompanied by a joyous sentiment, as the consumer understood that they could finally progress further.

She was about to receive the reward for her years of loyalty to the great existence!

Grandma Narda felt that her connection with the Lord of the Lost was strengthening, and a tremendous feeling of fear swiftly enveloped her entire body!

Yet, she did not merely revere the Lord of the Lost with extreme awe, her heart was also fervently longing for the strength He could bestow!

To transcend the mortal coil and ascend to the Extraordinary was a dream many harbored from birth!

However, in the world they once knew, bloodline and innate gifts determined everything.

The craving and desire of mortals for Extraordinary power are unimaginably vast; many would even be willing to pay the price of their lives to seek a power different from ordinary people!

“I feel Him, oh, I praise You, great Lord of the Lost!”

Narda knelt on the ruins, praying with utmost piety to the flickering black cross of light in the sky.

Had it worked?

Irene and Byrne exchanged glances. Grandma Narda’s connection with the Lord seemed to have strengthened, and thus, even if she became an Extraordinary being, she could still be controlled.

Their goal was thus achieved.

Should any thought or emotion of betrayal arise, the great Lord of the Lost would sense it, and they would be immediately apprised of the traitor’s location and then erase them.
