Chapter 49: Chapter 47: Priest: Child, I Know You Will Join Us
In the mirror.
There was a diamond-shaped mark on Chloe’s forehead, resembling a plum blossom design.
His breath suddenly became rapid as he pushed open the bathroom door and rushed to the desk.
He took out a diary.
It’s not that he was base, liking to keep a diary.
But rather, without the aid of a diary, there were things he simply couldn’t comprehend.
When he opened the diary, he saw dense pinyin scrawled across the latest page.
There was no Chinese in the "Simulated Hero."
Even if it was Fluent Language magic, it couldn’t decode the encrypted text.
Otherwise, intelligence work would be impossible.
But Chloe was meticulous and wrote again using pinyin.
The content above was as follows.
[When you see this diary, please don’t doubt. This is a record I left before the second simulation]
[In the real world, there are countless strong beings, many of whom would cast their gaze upon you just from the recitation of a divine name]
[Future self, if you ever see a branding on your forehead, it means I sealed a memory within myself during the simulation]
[It’s not foolishness, but rather I’ve concluded that retaining this memory would only disadvantage reality’s you]
[The reason for the seal is that this memory might be detected by those above Sequence Four]
[If it’s a circular mark, it means the memory can be resolved with just one sequence promotion. With help from connections, consider unsealing it]
[If it’s a triangular mark, it means it’s an issue solvable only with Sequence 6 and above. Please contact Lilith’s father for assistance]
[If it’s a diamond mark...]
[Do not unseal! Do not unseal! Do not unseal!]
[Without Demigod Power, unsealing equals death]
Chloe caressed the mark on his forehead.
Bad.
It’s a diamond.
The worst case.
[Recovery] talent is good, allowing micro-adjustments to one’s body.
Even memory is inclusive.
He’s a cautious person, who keeps a backup plan.
...perhaps several backups.
Chinese is the first layer of encryption.
Translating into pinyin is the second layer.
Sealing his own memory with Recovery is the third layer.
This was to prevent any adverse consequences from Rephya’s simulation.
Rephya can only see text, making it hard to intuitively experience simulation content.
But he was different.
He would bring simulation memories into reality.
And once linked with certain beings, memory itself posed risks.
Starting from Sequence Six, the Extraordinary began to transform into Mythical Life.
Up to Sequence Four, they stepped into the Demigod Realm, initially possessing Mythical Life Traits.
If one enters Sequence Three, they can be called a Saint.
It’s said that in the times before the King of Redemption, Saints specifically referred to the incarnated forms of deities.
After the Redemption Era began, those at Sequence Three with similar powers were also crowned as Saints.
Supreme on earth, none other than this.
But since he chose to seal himself, it’s a sign that the threat behind wasn’t earthly supreme but more advanced existences.
Sequence Two, Angel.
And possibly, Sequence One, Angel King.
Even in the simulation, bearing significant corruption and accepting Desire Mother Tree’s incarnation only reached Sequence Two.
Filthy Moon Demon King?
That requires the revival of Desire Mother Tree within him to truly evolve into Filthy Moon Demon King.
This level of existence follows the trait [thinking means knowing].
If you criticize across the ocean, "Filthy Moon Demon King ascended quickly, must’ve sold out to Desire Mother Tree," he could perceive this information.
Of course.
Due to an abundance of similar junk info, mythical beings may not really cast their gaze.
But who knows when they might review this info while scrolling through background data.
Yet since he emphasized certain death, it showed his memory hid crucial info closely watched by some mythical being, not likely to be missed.
He took a deep breath.
The lost memory was inconsequential, only knowing it posed a mortal threat.
With that thought, he burnt the diary into ashes, mixed them with water, and drained them down the sink.
Chloe the Trickster, activated.
"Advance to Sequence Eight within this week."
He whispered.
If there’s any discord, it must stem from lack of strength.
If promotion fails to resolve it, then continued advancement is required.
For Sequence Nine, the Archaeologist path required mastering extensive archaeological knowledge and certain mystic rituals for promotion.
If one had already absorbed and processed the Extraordinary Traits at that phase, promotion was possible.
Neither knowledge nor rituals posed any issue for him.
Thus, he needed to consider how to quickly digest the Extraordinary Traits currently within.
For ordinary people, they’d rely on slow work, waiting for digestion.
However, there was a shortcut method.
He took out a card from the Church of Glory’s Cardinal, pondered briefly, then decided to call.
"Lord Fiss, is there an available prayer room in the Church’s branch this weekend? I’d like to observe God’s visage up close."
On the other end, Cardinal Fiss’s voice was gentle:
"Child, I knew that with your character, you’d definitely join us."
"Ah, I just want to have a look first."
"No problem, the prayer room arranged by the children for me is available anytime."
...
After hanging up, Chloe’s lips slightly upturned.
Extraordinary Traits were indeed hard to digest, but with external stimuli, it could accelerate.
For Sequence Eight in the Whisperer path, it involves hearing whispers from secret existences and gaining corresponding unique abilities.
The choice of target was crucial.
If choosing unreliable ones like Evil Gods, they might rap you into madness.
The God of Glory and Justice, however, was a good option.
Especially as Glory’s abilities often involve healing, further enhancing his healing power.
Pah, his warmth for others.
Whether 38 degrees there or a corpse-so-cold like room temperature, that’s another matter.
...
That day.
The Outer City of the Ether Emblem’s Church of Glory welcomed an unexpected guest.
Our Filthy Moon Demon King thus boldly stepped into the enemy’s lair.
At this moment, the absolute higher-ups, Cardinal Fiss, were receiving the Demon King.
A group of elite priests and nuns lined up in two rows, welcoming the Cardinal’s esteemed guest, possibly their future colleague.
If those who were beaten up by Chloe in the simulation saw such a scene, they might collapse from despair.
Chloe could almost hear their woeful cries.
"Welcoming Filthy Moon Demon King? This is blasphemy against the Lord of Glory!"
"God, Bishop Fiss has betrayed faith."
"With top officials rotten, one could infer the Church of Glory is utterly corrupt."
But how does that concern him?
They hunt the Filthy Moon Demon King, what’s it got to do with Chloe?
He’s just a clean little white flower.
