"We can't leave them here."

Looking at the two ladies lying on the ground, Klein said with a serious face. Fors's eardrums had not yet been repaired by the High-Dimensional Overlooker, and now he was just staring blankly at the scene in front of him.

Meanwhile, Xio was lying on the ground, still unconscious, with a golden lamp next to him.

"I think so."

The High-Dimensional Overlooker took two steps forward and lifted up the lamp pot whose luster was obviously dim and whose will seemed to be weakened. He carefully strengthened it again with the help of the seal he had left in the Wishing Lamp, and then said to Klein,

"I plan to take Fors away first and bring her to the Southern Continent to let her study for a while. As a member of the Tarot Club, her current strength is only Sequence 7. Her strength is too far away from the Tarot Club." The High-Dimensional Overlooker sneered. Although Fors could not hear the sound, the High-Dimensional Overlooker's expression still made her feel uneasy: "She is actually quite talented, but she is so lazy..."

Fors swallowed her saliva. She felt her spiritual intuition warning her that she was going crazy.

Teacher, please heal my ears first... Fors shouted in his heart.

"But what about Xio?" Klein couldn't help but frown. He turned to look at Xio who was still lying on the ground. "The consciousness of the 'Djinn' in her body should not have been eradicated yet? She should be supervised in her current state. Otherwise, there's no telling when the consciousness of the 'Djinn' will revive in her body again."

"That's right. The Lamp God will not miss the opportunity to escape - but now we can only leave it like this. After all, you are not the true Lord of Mysteries yet. You can only pry open a part of the power of Sefirah Castle and you are helpless in dealing with the pollution of the Old Ones." The High-Dimensional Overlooker said to Klein: "My suggestion is that you bring her to the Tarot Club as soon as possible."

"Just like you treated the little sun that Amon had parasitized before, you can use the power of Sefirah Castle to keep an eye on Xio's mental state." The High-Dimensional Overlooker grinned slightly. "You, a good man, will definitely not abandon this child here."

"...Yes. But is this really feasible?" Even though this plan seemed feasible, Klein was still a little worried about an old infiltrator: "I'm afraid that Xio's current condition will suddenly deteriorate and allow the 'Djinn' to invade her body."

"This is indeed very possible." The High-Dimensional Overlooker shrugged and looked at Klein, who was still in the form of gray fog. "For you, when you become Sequence Five, you can use the magical item I gave you to leverage the power of the gray fog even more. The 'Source Castle' contains the authority of the Lord of Mysteries. When you are on the Source Castle, it is easy to check whether Xio will be corrupted by the Lamp Spirit."

"Also, don't forget that you still have a ghost ship." The High-Dimensional Overlooker glanced at Klein, and a hint of disappointment appeared in his tone:

"This girl is only Sequence 8 now. You can take her on board. If that doesn't work, you can directly try to suppress the Lamp God's carrier by force—even if the Lamp God itself has a high status, it is still sealed now."

He gently shook the lamp in his hand and said, "Now that the lamp god has been sealed, there is no power left to use. You can still trust the seal of the Heavenly Lord."

"What's her situation now?" Klein asked cautiously.

The High-Dimensional Overlooker shrugged his incarnation's shoulders and said, "It is obvious that she is now in a coma. Just kidding. After being eroded by the Djinn, there is now a 'disordered one' at the bottom of her will. That is, the Djinn, who was once at the top of the 'Judge' path."

"The 'Disordered One' is stuck at the bottom of Xio's consciousness. It will be difficult to eradicate it before you become the 'Lord of Mysteries.'" The High-Dimensional Overlooker leaned against the damaged wall.

"This is a bit like the protagonist of a fantasy novel, with an old man on his back..." Klein couldn't help but complain in his heart after hearing the high-dimensional overlord's description of the "Lamp God" and Xio's current state.

At the same time, he once again doubted Gao Wei's true identity. Klein felt that Gao Wei's knowledge of mysticism was too solid and profound. Even though he had traveled to this world earlier than him, his condition was quite abnormal.

Of course, for those who are looking down from higher dimensions, this is the spirit of being a teacher that has been passed down from the path of the "Hermit" and has been inherited by Him.

"No, now it seems that Leonard is a standard fantasy protagonist. He even has a real 'grandfather' in him." The high-dimensional observer couldn't help laughing: "I have looked up some historical data in the southern continent these days. Now I have basically figured out the identity of the most likely 'parasite' parasitizing him. Leonard is lucky, while Hugh..."

"She is like the protagonist of a novel nowadays, carrying a gift that can crush her spine. Of course, if she can overwhelm the genie with her own will, it will be quite beneficial to her. Unfortunately, this is too difficult. This 'gift' is actually more like a noose around her neck."

"Then who is possessed by Leonard now?" After hearing the familiar name, Klein became curious and his attention was drawn to it.

"It should be Pales Zoroast, a 'thief' angel who was once an ally of the Solomon Empire and the True Creator."

The High-Dimensional Overlooker analyzed to Klein that, for Him, this was naturally not something that He found out by looking up information. After all, this question was like a student answering the test paper by looking at the answers during an exam.

"In the Fourth Epoch, there were only a handful of thief angels..."

"… Add to that the fear of Amon and his current status, and we can preliminarily estimate that the parasite on Leonard is most likely the remaining 'Worm of Time'. Moreover, Leonard is not deeply parasitic now, so this basically means that Pallez, the conscience of the 'thief', is parasitic."

So that's how it is… After listening to the High-Dimensional Overlooker's analysis, Klein stroked his chin and changed the subject:

"Then isn't my ship…"

"Once your and Pales' identities are exposed, you will most likely attract Amon. Sharon and Maric are being hunted by the Rose School. You don't have to worry about the Super Star Overlord. He didn't catch the Lamp God before, and now he is probably besieged by the official Beyonders who have reacted, so he can't take care of you."

The High-Dimensional Overlooker threw the wishing lamp in his hand to the ground and kicked it with his foot: "This guy probably doesn't dare to reveal his position in front of the Super Star Overlord."

Seeing the rather casual kick from the High-Dimensional Overlord, Klein couldn't help but twitch his lips.

This is at least a "0" level sealed item... Are you too relaxed... He looked at Gao Wei in front of him:

"Then how are you going to take them away? The distance here is a bit too far, and Mr. X, who I used "Creeping Hunger" to herd, can't "open the door" to come over..."

"I came to find you." The High-Dimensional Overlooker looked at Klein and said with a slightly mischievous look in his eyes,

"I am now a Demigod of Sequence 4 of the Storm Path."

He waved the scepter in his hand and said, "This is the extraordinary characteristic of Sequence 3 that I have prepared."

"I took advantage of the battle between 'Sea God' Kalvetuwa and 'Sea King' Yann Kautman, and obtained the seal left behind by Him after He lost control and died."

"So, it was Kalvetuwa who went crazy before, and Bayam suffered a disaster for no reason?" Klein felt a sense of desolation in his heart.

The images of Backlund and Bayam were still vivid.

"That should be the case." The High-Dimensional Overlooker said to Klein in front of him, "It's not advisable to stay here for long. I'll bring Xio and Fors here first. Klein, where is your 'Lost Homeland' now?"

In fact, the battle had only just ended a few minutes ago, but the noise had already alarmed the sailors on the ship. The high-dimensional observer estimated that someone would come looking for them in a few minutes.

"The sea beneath the Rorsted Archipelago."

"Okay, I'll bring them here right away - wait a moment, I'll leave some compensation for the captain here." The High-Dimensional Overlooker casually took out some golden particles from his "curtain", melted them into an irregular piece of gold with a bolt of lightning at an extremely high temperature, and threw it on the ground. This scene made Klein's eyes widen.

Really rich... Although the value of this piece of gold is not as good as a Sequence 9 Beyonder characteristic, Klein still strongly condemned Gao Wei's behavior of "throwing money".

"good."

Seeing that the issues here had basically been resolved, Klein, whose spiritual power was almost exhausted, nodded: "One last question."

"Go ahead."

The High-Dimensional Overlooker looked at Klein with a smile on his face. He carried the two of them like little chickens, one in each hand. Fors even subconsciously began to flutter.

Meanwhile, Xio stood motionless. It is worth mentioning that the high-dimensional overlord also stuffed the "wishing lamp" at his feet into Xio's arms.

"Have you found your new messenger? How can I contact you now? Of course, apart from communicating above the gray fog, that is really too troublesome."

"Indeed…" The High-Dimensional Overlooker pretended to hesitate and said to Klein,

"I haven't found my messenger yet (are you planning on asking me to summon the God of Wisdom or the Perfect One), but (otherwise you can think of a way yourself)…"

"Would you consider finding a courier yourself?"

...

Far away in the depths of the spirit world, Renette Tinicole, who was holding four heads in her hands, looked at the spirit world scene in the distance that looked like an oil painting, and couldn't help but feel that her spirituality was somewhat touched.

She turned her head and looked into the distance, as if something was calling her. The seven rays of light above the spiritual world were still standing there as if forever.

Reinette hesitated for a while, and flew towards the place in the spirit world that attracted her. Although Reinette knew that this might be a trap set by others, most traps were actually meaningless in her current state.

After being killed by the "evil god" Sua and losing her extraordinary characteristics and body, Renette knew that she would no longer be valued by the Rose School. And this kind of thing that could attract her was obviously very precious, and the Rose School would obviously not give out these things just to deal with her, a remaining spiritual creature.

At this moment, on the sea surface corresponding to the spiritual world, the high-dimensional overwatch was flying quickly in the air while holding the two ladies in his hands and controlling the lightning.

He reached out and dripped his blood into Fors's ear. With the help of multiple sequences, the blood containing the power of the "Rose Bishop" quickly repaired Fors's eardrum.

Ms. Salted Fish was floundering on the sea, and finally heard the voice of the world. Facing the strong wind, she turned her head and looked at her teacher:

"Teacher, have you become a demigod?"

"Yes." The high-dimensional overlord who now possessed one-third of the power of the Hermit said to Fors in front of him. He smiled kindly and answered the student who was "happy to ask questions" in front of him.

"I have now changed my path and become a demigod of the 'Storm' path. Once I have digested this stage, I can prepare for the ceremony of advancement to Sequence Three."

No, that's not right. This answer doesn't seem very good...

Miss Xianyu instinctively felt that there was something wrong in her teacher's words.

"So why are you still at Sequence 7? Miss Justice is almost ready to advance to Sequence 6 and is already preparing the materials, but it seems like you still haven't digested a large part of your current Sequence."

The High-Dimensional Overlord looked at his student with a fake smile, and said to Fors, "Look at other people's children," "Do you think that because I don't pay attention to you, you can be lazy in digesting the potion?"

"Ah, this..." Fors lowered her head somewhat guiltily, not daring to look at her teacher for a moment. But soon, she heard the high-dimensional looker smiling at her and saying:

"But don't worry, you will make rapid progress in the future... Hehe, Backlund has been destroyed now, so don't even think about going back."

"Wait, teacher, what do you mean? I am now..." Fors struggled to ask her teacher, intending to make a final resistance.

"Now I will take you to the 'world' and place your friend there. He is Mr. Fool's favored one. Being with Mr. Fool's favored one will also allow us to better monitor Xiou's current situation." The High-Dimensional Overlooker saw Fors and said,

"If you hadn't reported it in time, you would have probably become the bargaining chip used by Xiou's consciousness to exchange for her body."

Fors opened her mouth.

"Then I should be able to come back after I go there, right? I still have two books to write…" Fors began to make excuses with reasons that she herself didn't believe.

The High Dimensional Overlooker naturally ignored this salted fish and said to her with a smile:

"Let's go to the southern continent now."

"…Go back? Wait until you can advance to Sequence 5 before you go back."

　This chapter is a transitional chapter, it may be a little boring, and you can finally open a new map later

　　. Key points:

　　Regarding Tianzun's previous attitude, there are now some polarizations.

　　In Secret 1, the gods of Earth and the Old Ones all expressed their fear of the Old Ones and the Pillars.

　　Original text here:

　　"The corners of Klein's mouth curled up uncontrollably. He suddenly turned his head and looked back outside the world barrier, raising his slippery and evil tentacles.

　　The pair of eyes made of starlight and the monocle made of crystal also moved along.

　　Suddenly, all the gazes from the starry sky retreated, leaving only a hand-painted red moon hanging there, flashing with light. "

　　Other old days are quite out of B

　　As for Tianzun's character, Xiao Ke said:

　　Part 8, Chapter 33 "Compared to you, I prefer to believe in the 'Lord of Mysteries' of the past. He is the true Old One, looking down on the universe and regarding most creatures as insects. This would actually distance Him from reality."

　　Moreover, when Xiao Ke and the Lamp God met for the first time, the Lamp God recognized that Xiao Ke was not Tianzun because of Xiao Ke's "bargaining".

　　Since there was too little description of Tianzun and the Old Ones in the first part, in my opinion, Tianzun is an "arrogant" but deceptive being.

　　In this respect, there is no difference between the arrogant Lord who regards everything around him as a plaything and the self-centered God.

　　I will talk about the specific differences between the Old Ones and the Pillars later. Anyway, I am writing it conservatively now, and it will all be rounded up in the end.

(End of this chapterPriceChapter 182 The Price

"We're here."

The high-dimensional overwatcher lifted Fors and Xio slightly upwards, the lightning extinguished, and the flight of the creatures carrying lightning also slowed down.

The huge impact force caused the turbulent sea surface to stop for a moment. After this body obtained the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 4, it was closer to God than to man. Under the ability of the "Tyrant" domain, the High-Dimensional Overlooker easily used the impact force to stop steadily on the sea surface.

After briefly confirming the location of the "Lost Homeland", the High-Dimensional Overlooker jumped up and jumped directly onto Klein's ship.

After all, in the eyes of him, the creator of the ship, even the "Lost Homeland" that has concealed its own shadow still stands out on the sea.

When Sharon and Maric saw the High-Dimensional Overlooker coming with the force of thunder, they immediately became defensive. First of all, they were all Beyonders of the "Prisoner" Path, and were naturally hostile to the Orthodox Church. After all, at a time when the Rose School was rampant, no one knew whether the Beyonder of the "Prisoner" Path that suddenly appeared was a time bomb.

Even Leonard, a member of the Church of Evernight, became nervous when he saw the Sequence Four Demigod of the Storm Pathway. For a moment, this idiot was thinking, has the fact that Klein once held an important position in the Aurora Society been exposed to the eyes of the Church of Storm?

After all, almost all the bishops or cardinals of the Storm Church are demigods of the Storm Path, and the number of demigods of a path is quite limited. The sudden appearance of a demigod of the Storm Path carrying a person in his hands would easily remind people of the group of Storm pigeons in the Storm Church.

Just when the people on the ship were getting nervous, Klein suddenly stepped out and looked ahead. He raised his hand and gestured to the "alive" crew members on his ship:

"Don't be nervous." Klein said to the people in front of him, "These are not enemies."

"I've brought the person here." The High-Dimensional Overlooker took two steps forward and said, "This is the person my Lord has assigned to your ship."

Huh? When did you start pretending to believe in The Fool? Well, you're building momentum for me... Klein was startled, then quickly reacted: "I see."

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

After throwing Xio, who was still unconscious and holding a golden lamp, to the ground, the High-Dimensional Overlooker carried Fors away with one hand. His movements were so fast that his figure even dragged a lightning bolt in the air.

For the people on the ship, the arrival of the high-dimensional overlord means different things.

For Leonard, this may symbolize the secret cooperation between the Church of Storms and the Church of Night, with the purpose of investigating the current situation at sea and the rampant Rose School in the southern continent.

A few days ago, he exchanged information with Daly Simone through a messenger recruited by her, who was originally a "psychic". Leonard now knew that the situation in the southern continent was not optimistic, so much so that part of the Church of the Night in East Balam was attacked by some crazy cultists.

Therefore, after Leonard saw Hugh, who was sent by the high-dimensional overlord, and said that sentence, he couldn't help but start to frantically ask Pales in his heart.

For Maric, the fact that this person whom he had identified as a believer of the "True Creator" was actually related to a Beyonder demigod suspected to be from the Church of Storms made him doubt his previous judgment and the identity of the crazy captain Gehrman Sparrow in front of him.

Finally, there was Sharon. She had just joined the Tarot Club, so when the High-Dimensional Overlooker came and said to Klein, "This is the person my Lord arranged," the first person she thought of was Mr. Fool who had appeared earlier.

After all, among the few people on the ship now, only Sharon has officially joined the Tarot Club and knows that "The World" is the favored one of Mr. Fool.

On the other hand, Klein was standing next to Xio.

Klein didn't think much about it, but the current situation did make him feel troubled. He first ordered the two zombie crew members closest to this side to fetch a stretcher from the side and put it in front of him.

After thinking for a moment, Crane prepared to take Xio into the captain's room himself.

When the two of them were alone, he could use the "Source Castle" to communicate with the "girl" who was still in a coma on a spiritual level.

The reason why Xio is called a girl is because after all, this 1.5-meter-tall arbitrator looks quite...small at first glance.

Compared with Fors, you can't tell that she is already 24 years old.

As for whether Klein's upcoming communication with Xio would be discovered by the Genie, Klein was actually not that worried.

First of all, after playing the role of "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" and intimidating the Lamp God and getting feedback, Klein's "Faceless Man" potion had obviously been digested.

After digesting the potion, the image of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun that Klein had grasped during his previous communication with the Lamp God had become more vivid. Even though the Lamp God still retained some ability to spy on the "Source Castle", Klein still had the confidence to deceive the Lamp God once again.

After making up his mind, Klein prepared to send Xio to the captain's room.

But before Klein could do anything, the stretcher flew up by itself, carrying Xio to the captain's room.

Looking at the scene before him, Klein glanced at Sharon in front of him with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Sharon, who was controlling the stretcher, glanced at Klein and stood there like a real puppet without saying anything. Klein turned his body and walked into his captain's room without saying a word. He used the Lost Homeland to seal the door.

Klein still had to keep this confidential matter about his identity secret. After all, in addition to himself and Pales, the two Beyonders who attracted Amon, there were also Sharon and Maric from the Rose School on the ship, as well as some pirates from the "Admiral of the Stars" who might attract the Super Star Lords who were unable to pay attention to other things.

The only one who is safe now may be Danitz.

After thinking for a moment, Klein first disguised a strict sacrificial scene, then took four steps backwards and climbed up the gray fog.

...

"Where am I?"

Xio felt as if she had been sleeping for a long time. She rubbed her temples with her slender fingers and looked up.

However, she soon found herself not in any familiar place, but in a strange building mostly made of stone. She turned her head and looked around, and found that she was covered with stone and the area outside the stone was covered with gray fog.

Then, Xio's spirit was suddenly touched. Following the direction of her spirit, she looked above herself and saw a figure sitting above her.

The figure was surrounded by evil tentacles that seemed to be made of gray fog, and was covered with a cloak that looked like a robe. Under the cloak was a black suit and a white shirt, which made people feel that the old and the new were coexisting.

This kind of dress gives people a feeling of being both ancient and youthful.

Xio pursed her lips and said, "Excuse me, who are you..."

"You can call me a fool."

Klein looked at Xio and the golden sheen on her spirit.

…It seems that this is the mark of the "Lamp God" left in Xio's subconscious mind, Klein thought silently.

Then, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said to Xiou in front of him:

"You seem to have some unspeakable marks on your body."

"I..."

This... I seem to have encountered this before... Xio hesitated for a moment, looked at the "Fool" in front of him, and opened his mouth slightly:

"I felt like I had a dream before. In the dream, I did some things that made me feel very confused, but I couldn't control my body through the dream. Then when I opened my eyes, I found myself in a..."

After patiently listening to Xio's words, Klein nodded gently and said to Xio according to the words he had prepared long ago:

"In words that you can understand, you are now bound to a seal. This seal has living properties, and you have become its host."

There was no need to tell Xiou some things, as it would only add to her troubles. If Xiou knew that she was possessed by a god-level being, it would only make her more panicked. Therefore, Klein decided to conceal part of the facts.

"A living Sealed Artifact…" Xio was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the Fool in front of him.

"Did you save me?" Xio said to Klein cautiously and humbly, "Thank you, Mr. Fool."

"It's a piece of cake." Klein nodded, his back relaxed. "But given your current condition, you might end up in that situation again someday."

Xio waited for Mr. Fool's next words.

"I can protect you, but at the same time, I will give you a commission as the price of protecting you."

Looking at Xio who was waiting for what he was going to say next, Klein's tone was low and relaxed, even a little humorous. Under Klein's control, the tentacles at his hands moved irregularly, gently tapping the ground, attracting Xio's attention.

"…I will do my best to complete it."

Facing the existence that resembled an evil spirit or an evil god, Xio was very cautious. Above the gray fog, Xio's memory gradually revived, and he realized that a terrible existence was living in his body. It was this great existence in front of him that saved him, otherwise he might have torn his friend into pieces when he was controlled in the dream before.

That was why Xio acted so humble and sincere in front of Mr. Fool.

"Go to the southern continent with my followers and investigate the Rose School of Thought in the southern continent. I will reward you accordingly for any discoveries you make." Looking at Xio in front of him, Klein smiled and said, "Do you think you can accept such a price?"

"I accept." Xio paused for a moment, lowered his head, and said to Mr. Fool in front of him, "Thank you for your kindness."

For Xiou, she would basically be careful to be respectful and friendly to the person who saved her. And when facing such a powerful being that looked terrifying and evil, even if the previous kindness might be a trap to lure her into, Xiou still maintained her most basic respect.

After that, Xio glanced around and asked carefully: "Excuse me, how can I contact you..."

"I will give you my name."

Klein said to Xio, "After you successfully investigate the Rose School, you can recite my name and I will allow you to join my party."

"Is that all?" Xio was obviously feeling a little uneasy. Among all the horror stories she had seen and heard, this price was a little too simple. However, Klein in front of her just nodded slightly.

"The situation in the southern continent is worse than you can imagine."

"Heh, and your friends are also at the party you're about to attend."

Friends? Fors…Xiu was immediately certain. She saw Mr. Fool above her and said to him sincerely:

"I will definitely complete your commission."

...

The High Dimension Overlooker dragged Fors in his hand and walked out of the floating silk threads. He glanced at Fors in front of him, a smile spread across his face, and he said to him,

"We're here."

"Are we there yet? Is this the Southern Continent?"

Miss Salty Fish fluttered twice, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked forward. In front of her was a relatively small manor. The high-dimensional viewer walked straight into the room. As soon as she opened the door, Fors saw a figure who looked exactly like her teacher.

The figure smiled and opened another door. Fors looked at the scene in the open door and couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

Above the door was a corridor of a shape he had never seen before, and beyond the corridor was a city area that looked somewhat dilapidated.

"Welcome to the 'real' southern continent, Fors." The High-Dimensional Overlooker opened his arms and said to Fors with a smile on his face,

"Welcome to the abyss on earth."

"Welcome to 'Hell'."

...

"High-dimensional Overlooker, little Klein stood me up again." The Fallen Mother Goddess looked at the High-dimensional Overlooker in front of her with some "sadness" and complained to Him, "He clearly promised me last time to let me join the Tarot Club."

"Ha, didn't you say before that you could finally join the Tarot Club?"

The High-Dimensional Overlooker wanted to gloat over the Mother Goddess and mock her, but then his face turned serious. He thought of a bad possibility:

"You mean, Klein 'forgot' this matter? Who can do that? Adam and Amon don't know the current location of Sefirah Castle..."

"The old days." The Fallen Mother Goddess said to the High-Dimensional Overlooker,

"It can only be the old days."

"Without any of us noticing, an Old One broke through the weak spot in the barrier and slightly affected Klein."

　Good morning everyone!

　　The reason why the Mother Goddess didn't attend the Tarot Club is waiting here (^0^)

(End of this chapterDestiny CrossroadsChapter 183: Crossroads of Destiny

"What's wrong? Go in." The High-Dimensional Overlooker looked at Fors in front of him and said to her.

Fors looked at the scene inside the door, which she had never seen before, and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

The amusement in Fors's expression when she looked at others had completely disappeared, and now what appeared in her eyes was a hint of shock and some timidity.

The scene in the corridor inside the door was not the main reason for Fors's expression. More importantly, when Fors looked at this scene, she suddenly thought of her past experiences.

The city belonging to East Balam in the southern continent in front of her looked so dilapidated at the moment. Even compared with the slums in Backlund, the sewers in Backlund's slums looked cuter.

The first impression Fors had of the scene before her was one of dilapidation and decay. The city seemed to have no breath of life and looked dead.

In this city, it was rare to hear children laughing and playing. The wind blew through the leaves, making a rustling sound. Although the weather here was still hot, the sound of the wind made Fors feel cold.

The faces of the residents living here are filled with fear and hatred towards others. This place is like a dead city.

"This…" After seeing this scene, Fors was stunned for a moment and turned to look at his teacher:

"Teacher, is this really the Southern Continent?"

For Fors, the Southern Continent meant more than that. When Fors was still young, her father, a low-level military officer, went to East Bailang in pursuit of power and wealth, and established a new family there, abandoning Fors.

...Is this the place where the wealth and power that my father pursues are located? Why is it like this? Ha, what does this have to do with wealth?

Even as a knowledgeable novelist, Fors still felt a little confused about this. She smiled self-deprecatingly and couldn't help asking herself this question in her heart.

Therefore, under the dual influence of her own curiosity and the stimulation brought to Fors by her father's past experience, Fors asked questions to the high-dimensional overlord in front of her.

"Yes, it is here." The High-Dimensional Overlooker nodded to Fors with a slight smile: "Otherwise, why would I call it the Abyss on the Earth?"

"Of course, before the Backlund Cataclysm, the situation here had not deteriorated to this extent. But after the Rose School of Thought received an epic enhancement, Beyonders can basically be found everywhere here."

"And the way the Beyonders in the three paths of the Desire Realm are played, haha, wherever they are, there will be quite a lot of disasters."

"Teacher, what do you mean?"

Turning her head and taking another look at the ruined city ahead, Fors swallowed her saliva. She seemed to have heard the term Backlund Catastrophe many times from her teacher, but now Fors still didn't understand why the disaster that occurred in Backlund before had such a far-reaching impact, even affecting the southern continent.

Of course, she knew that both East Balam and West Balam were colonies of various people from the Northern Continent. However, in her previous education, none of the colonies had declined to such an extent. In order to steadily exploit and plunder local property, the colonial warlords and officers would even deliberately indulge in economic development here.

But now it is completely different. Even the East District of Backlund, which has the ugliest side behind its glamorous appearance, can be considered a paradise compared to this place.

Fors felt that this place was like a forest made of stones. No one dared to make a sound. It seemed that if they exposed their status, they would be hunted down by the hunters who swarmed over them.

"Come with me, and remember to listen to me. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what the outcome of your future choices will be." Gao Wei nodded to Fors and walked forward.

Fors immediately followed the High-Dimensional Overlooker and walked forward cautiously. They passed through this surreal corridor and appeared in an alley.

Touching the rougher wall with her calloused fingers, feeling the warmth left by the sun-exposed rocks, Fors felt a little more at ease.

"Look forward." Fors heard the teacher in front of him turn around and look at him and say:

"Just watch and don't help them casually."

Fors subconsciously looked forward and saw a child sitting there with a limp. After carefully distinguishing her, Fors recognized that it was a young girl.

She was dirty and covered with a piece of cloth. She was sitting there, obviously begging from passers-by.

What's so good about this? Even in Backlund, there are many beggars... Of course, normally I might pick out some beggars who really have no ability to work and give them some small change, but since the teacher said not to help her, then I won't help her.

Thinking of this, Fors was laughing and crying in her heart. Do I look so childish? She thought to herself, does the teacher have to emphasize this kind of thing to me?

But the next moment, Fors couldn't laugh anymore.

She saw the beggar girl in front of her stretched out her hand a little too much, and accidentally rubbed a passerby's clothes with her dirty hand. The passerby immediately looked at her viciously, with a hideous smile on his face.

"This state of performance is that of a Sequence Nine 'Criminal' of the Abyss Path." The High-Dimensional Overlooker said to Fors beside him,

"But I can see that he is not a Beyonder."

"Haha, he's disguising himself as an extraordinary person."

Why did he disguise himself as a Beyonder? In the Kingdom of Loen, Beyonders had to try their best to disguise themselves as ordinary people to prevent themselves from being discovered by the church. No, that's not right. This is the Southern Continent.

But there is also church influence here?

As For thought, she saw the passerby reach into his pocket and take out a sharp dagger.

He approached the girl viciously, behaving like a real 'criminal'.

Cruel, bloodthirsty, full of evil desires, but also showing that his conscience is not yet extinguished and he is not cold-hearted enough.

He performed so well that even the real extraordinary people hidden among the pedestrians around him were not surprised by the performance of this "extraordinary person".

This is what a true "criminal" would do. When the body and mind are under the rule of malice, atrocities are the natural consequence.

He stretched out his hand and slashed the girl's body with the sharp blade in his hand——

He was doing what all Beyonders from the Abyss path would do after being offended, teaching the girl a lesson.

Seeing this scene, Fors couldn't help but move subconsciously, but was immediately stopped by his teacher.

"Why?" Looking at the high-dimensional overlord who stretched out his hand to block her, Fors asked subconsciously. She now has the strength of Sequence 7, and her conscience does not support her not to help when seeing such a thing.

Even though Fors knew that this would put herself in danger.

Even Fors, who was unwilling to put herself in danger, felt deeply touched after seeing this horrific tragedy.

"You can try to help her."

The High-Dimensional Overlooker spoke to Fors with a rather cold tone. Fors looked at the High-Dimensional Overlooker in front of him, unable to see any other emotions from the gate-shaped pupils in his eyes that seemed to have layers upon layers.

After a slight hesitation, Fors chose to reach out and snap her fingers, creating a layer of frost under the feet of the perpetrator who was about to commit violence. After stepping on the frost, the pedestrian slid to the ground.

The eyes of the extraordinary people around them flashed, and they turned their eyeballs to look at the passerby.

The pedestrian who fell to the ground obviously noticed the gazes from others. He grabbed the little girl's collar and looked at the beggar girl in front of him with some annoyance on his face.

Without saying anything more, he grabbed the few coins left in the girl's arms, slapped the girl a few times, and then walked away.

Fors was just about to go out of the alley to see what the girl who was knocked to the ground looked like, but she was immediately grabbed by the high-dimensional overwatcher and disappeared in an instant.

After feeling a strong dizziness and concussion, Fors discovered that her perspective had changed. She seemed to be able to observe everything in front of her from various directions.

"Hold on tight, don't move."

The High-Dimensional Overlooker turned his head to look at Fors in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Did you give her money after all?"

"Well..." Salty Fish said with a guilty conscience, "All her money was taken away, and I gave her a few pennies. She probably won't get any charity from others today, and if I don't help her, she will starve today."

"Unfortunately, you don't understand the abilities of the Beyonders here." The High-Dimensional Overlooker said to Fors in front of him with a "sneer" on his face:

"Criminals are attracted to violence, and prisoners are indulging their own desires, turning themselves into aliens. In addition, the 'Miser' can sense money, and the 'Sex Addict' will not let go of anyone who can be subjected to their desires."

"...Are the two behind also the path of the Beyonder?" Fors asked subconsciously. She had never heard of this path.

"It's a Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 of the same path. If you hadn't given the little girl money, she would have only been beaten up today. But now? Ha, whether she can survive depends on her luck. Your initial judgment was correct, but you were a bit too reckless later." The High-Dimensional Overlooker taught Fors in a somewhat harsh tone:

"In the manor where I am, there are luxurious banquets day and night. I deliberately left my clone there so that I would not be monitored by the royal family. If you are in the noble manor, you will feel the prosperity of the southern continent. If you walk out of the manor and go to a place a little further away, you will find the horror and absurdity of the southern continent now."

No, someone took the beggar away! This... Fors was about to leave where she was, but was pulled back by the high-dimensional overlord beside her.

"Teacher, I'll go make up for mine…" Fors subconsciously said to the high-dimensional looker in front of him.

"...This is your choice." The High-Dimensional Overlooker said calmly to Fors, "Not all choices will have a chance to be made up for, Fors."

"If you go out now, you will expose yourself to this hell. After the Rose School wreaked havoc in the southern continent, any Beyonder with a path other than the realm of desire has become quite dangerous."

"I asked you to come here to improve your sequence and give you the right to make your own choices. I didn't ask you to be kind and die."

"Don't forget, I was the one who told you everything that this world would encounter in the future. Whether for me or for your previous 'teacher', you need to improve yourself."

Fors covered her head.

...Yes, when I was still a Sequence Nine apprentice, I had a teacher from the Abraham family. Because of the evil god's whispering, he died on a full-moon night. I wanted to know the reason behind all this, so I asked my teacher in front of me, my former teacher's friend, to accept me as a disciple.

...So strange.

Under the replacement of the authority of the High-Dimensional Overlord, Fors did not feel the fallacy in her memory. She looked at the girl who was held up in the distance and couldn't help sobbing a little.

"This is too cruel, even for Backlund..." She spoke in a hoarse voice, like a fish on the shore.

"This is the Southern Continent - Ah, it looks like this girl will survive."

The high-dimensional overlord looked at the light coming from afar, "looked" at the sound in the distance, and said to Fors in front of him with a smile.

The purpose of bringing Fors here has been achieved. Fors has recognized the reality of the southern continent which is now ravaged by the Rose School.

This may also be the reality in the future. With the infiltration of the power of foreign gods, the mystical balance of the earth will be gradually broken, and then it will be an era of blood and madness.

"Here it comes." The High-Dimensional Overlooker looked into the distance: "This girl's savior is here."

"What?" Fors looked up and saw from the perspective of a high-dimensional observer some monks in white robes holding black cross spears waving their weapons and attacking the "criminals" and "misers".

"This is the 'Creator Bishops', a salvation team spontaneously formed by fanatics who believe in the true Creator in the southern continent."

"The true creator has started to save the world, right?" Fors was silent for two seconds.

"But if it weren't for you, she might not have encountered such a life-threatening situation. This is the judgment given to me by my divinity. When you gain divinity, you may be able to make a more correct decision." The High-Dimensional Overlooker calmly deceived Fors:

"But can you accept the price of losing your humanity?"

"Do you think the result of your choice is good or bad?"
