Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: Chapter 23: Promotion, Consecution 2 (2/2)

John smiled without speaking, knowing that money was important, but in these tense times, the value of martial force was rising more than anything else.

After several years of interaction, he had noticed that the members of the Fischer family were all extraordinarily powerful experts and indeed worth building a deep relationship with.

Not to mention anything else, just the powerful force that Irene wielded was extremely worth investing in—who in their family wouldn’t fall ill?

He had only heard of “Monarch” class healing-type spellcasters or forbidden-class mysterious rare artifacts possessing such strong healing powers.

Healing-type spellcasters of the “Monarch” level, when looked across the entire Ouden Continent, could be counted on one’s fingers, whereas the use of forbidden-class mysterious rare artifacts always required a significant price to be paid.

He had once wondered if Irene of the Fischer family was hiding some forbidden-class mysterious rare artifact, but seeing how she released that power without any hesitation, it did not seem like it at all.

Sea merchant John stayed for an official dinner at the Fischers’ on the first day, and the next morning, just as Radiant Sun had risen right after Blazing Sun, he personally came over to deliver the Class 2 Extraordinary Material “Wind Shark’s Dark Blood”.

Once sea merchant John had left, the four members of the Fischer family gathered in the underground chamber.

Inside the clean and tidy underground chamber, there was a small but exquisitely crafted altar, enshrining a rather plain transparent bottle.

Five-year-old Chris stood quietly beside the adults, his hands behind his back, like a little “grown-up”.

He was extremely adorable, with eyes as blue as the azure sky and slightly messy silver-white fine hair, standing there with the air of a finely crafted, large art piece.

Chris was always quiet, sparing with his words, rarely speaking even once a day.

In an era that had yet to conceptualize psychological disorders, the adults of the Fischer family initially thought he had a cognitive issue, only to gradually understand the situation.

He simply couldn’t be bothered to communicate with others.

The members of the Fischer family knelt down, one after another, with Irene at the very forefront.

“We beseech the great Lord of the Lost, your will extends to where our fates lie.”

“When your gaze descends, those who you behold can’t escape, when your voice resounds, the threads of destiny already reverberate in response.”

“We offer new mysteries to you, please grant the Fischer family further strength, O great Lord of the Lost.”

Karl felt the reverent emotions of everyone connected to him, each person’s feelings bringing a different experience, like the thought of betrayal feeling akin to an insect bite.

He calmly absorbed the spirituality and traits from the extraordinary materials.

Advancing the 1st Rank of the God Pantheon stairway could still be done with multiple Class 0 materials as a substitute for a single primary material, but from the second rank upwards, it was not possible.

Higher-class extraordinary materials as the primary material was inevitable.

Karl’s consciousness once again arrived in the Spirit Realm, seeing the black cross of light floating high in the sky of the Spirit Realm, gazing towards the Spirit Realm Ocean and the many islands above and below.

He skillfully found the brilliantly shining “constellation” in the endless firmament once more, picking out an empty star and dragging the spiritual traits of the “Wind Shark’s Dark Blood” into it.

Finally, Karl’s consciousness linked this “constellation” with the one containing the “Blazing Coral”, connecting the next segment of the Path of Conquest!

The new “constellation” also began burning with a resplendent golden-red flame, dazzling and captivating, yet the shadow contained within the flames had now become a young man elegantly dueling with a sword!

The Power of Consecution is “Duelist”!

At the same time, many extraordinary exponents around the world who had just fallen asleep awoke from their dreams.

They found themselves once again in the snowy clearing they had experienced years before, looking bewilderedly at the ashes that had composed into tall trees, everything around them silent and solemn.

However, this time was different.

Not everyone was confused or passive, for some had already begun researching the various aspects of the Spirit Realm over the years.

Having prepared for several years, even causing a collective rise in the price of extraordinary materials across the entire continent, these extraordinarily powerful experts employed all kinds of mysterious methods they had studied for years.

They tried every means to leave a mark in the Spirit Realm, one that would facilitate re-entry, not wanting to miss the hard-won opportunity.
