1215 Not Time Ye (2/2)
Klein took a deep breath and said in the tone of a charlatan, ”They are praying to my Lord.”
This was definitely not a lie. After all, as The Fool, he had already gained initial mastery of Sefirah Castle. The last sentence of his honorific name was the ”King of Yellow and Black who wields good luck,” which was equivalent to ”The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings.”
Nim and company fell silent. When they looked back at Klein, their eyes were filled with obvious respect and fear.
Together with the ”miracles” Klein had displayed, they gradually viewed Mr. Fool as their savior.
Klein surveyed the area and said, ”Retreat at least a hundred meters.”
”Alright, Your Excellency.” The High Priest, Nim, agreed without hesitation.
After the Moon City's Beyonders had retreated to a sufficient distance, Klein reached into the void with his right hand and quickly dragged out another projection of himself as his actual body disappeared.
Right on the heels of that, the Historical Void projection of Klein walked to the front of the solidified grayish-white fog. He extended his right hand and pressed it down.
It was as if there was an invisible barrier that was slightly cold, blocking everything.
After staring at it for two seconds, Klein opened his mouth, suppressed his voice, and recited in Chinese, ”The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings.”
As his voice echoed out, the grayish-white fog in front of him didn't react at all. It remained still and frozen.
He waited for nearly a minute. After some thought, he took a deep breath and muttered again:
”The Immortal Lord of Heaven and Earth for Blessings;
”The Sky Lord of Heaven and Earth for Blessings;
”The Exalted Thearch of Heaven and Earth for Blessings;
”The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings.”
This was the complete incantation of the luck enhancement ritual.
As the last word was said, Klein's right hand that was pressing on the invisible barrier suddenly felt an obvious tremble.
The gray fog began to shake as though a boulder had been thrown into a lake.
The ripples quickly spread, overlapping each other as they formed a ”door” in front of him.
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the scene. Not far away, the pupils of the Moon City Beyonders widened as they were unable to shift their eyes away.
Amongst them, the ones who arrived later felt their hearts waver after witnessing such a scene. They found it impossible to contain themselves.
To them, this was undoubtedly a miracle!
Klein held his breath as he waited for the door to take shape. However, the ripples finally calmed down. They were only a step away from success.
”…” After a moment of silence, Klein repeated the incantations again. However, even if the ripples in the grayish-white fog didn't disappear, they were unable to truly outline the door.
For a moment, he wanted to attempt with the complete ritual procedure. In other words, he would place four portions of food and recite the incantations while taking four steps counterclockwise. But very quickly, he was amused by his idea.
Because by doing this, he would enter Sefirah Castle without opening the invisible barrier here.
After exhaling, Klein took out a gold coin from the void and used divination to confirm that the effects of the complete ritual would be as he imagined.
It really isn't time yet because the apocalypse hasn't dawned on us? Klein looked at the grayish-white fog in front of him for a few minutes without any movement.
When a bolt of lightning tore through the sky and illuminated his face, he turned around and walked in front of the Moon City High Priest, Nim, with the lantern in hand. He said calmly, ”It hasn't reached the correct point in time to open it, as spoken in the revelation. There's more than a decade of waiting left.”
Without waiting for any response from the likes of Nim, A'dal, and the rest, Klein pointed to the nearby darkness with his empty right hand.
”I will be meditating here for some time. If you want to experience the radiance of the Lord and listen to 'His' teachings, you can come here anytime whenever the lightning frequency is high.
”I'll do a single purification and treatment session every day, at a time when the lightning is most frequent.”
He didn't attempt to get the residents of Moon City to convert their faiths, nor did he plan on heading directly to the city or ask about any specific information. He wanted to give them some time to take things in.
Nim secretly heaved a sigh of relief and replied with increasingly great respect, ”I will pass on your words to everyone.”
