Mysterious Catastrophe

Suddenly, the woman smiled like a fox: "My lord is in urgent need of a child of mixed blood from both sides to consolidate the rule. Even if the rumors are true, it doesn't matter. After all, they are all his grandsons. blood..."

"If the child is gone, everyone will be happy. If he is born, it will be equivalent to reminding Colin of today's events every moment, and uncovering his shameful scars. Guess what will happen if it goes on for so long?"

Chapter 22 Meditation and Experimentation

"It is said that after the barbarians on the ancient grassland snatched a woman, they would kill her firstborn, because they were not sure if it was their own species..."

Aaron Sotos walked in the town of Black Sun: "However, we green forest people are at least a little better than the prairie barbarians?"

Thinking of the bloody sacrifice of [Green Banyan Grandmother], Aaron couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

However, he quickly put all this behind him.

Because in front of him, Xiu had already knelt at the feet of the high priest and put on a black robe.

"Congratulations, the new Unburned!"

The high priest had a cheerful smile on his face, and from his eyes, mouth and nose, it seemed that black fireworks would flow down at any moment.

"I would like to respect the Black Sun as Lord and practice His way!"

Xiu's cheeks were a little thin, but his eyes were bright.

Aaron could tell that this woman must have tried the church's breathing and meditation methods, and had reached a certain height.

"Black flame meditation can be divided into four levels of temperature, which are red flame, yellow flame, blue flame, and purple flame. You have passed the test of red flame..."

The high priest was very happy and said: "You can start the non-burning ceremony and become a real 'non-burning person'."

He motioned to the black-robed believer next to him to come forward and brought over a brazier burning with flames.

"As long as the 'dark' spirituality is awakened, ordinary flames will not be able to harm you."

The high priest stretched out his hand and plunged into the flames.

"I……"

Gritting his teeth, Xiu put his hand into the flames.

Whoohoo!

Severe pain came out instantly, and a smell of scorched flesh immediately spread.

Not far away, Ike and Lin, who were watching, immediately closed their eyes, unable to bear to look any further.

However, even though Xiu's face twitched, he held the palm of the high priest in the flames.

"Very good, the first time you try, you will inevitably get a little injury."

The high priest removed the brazier and saw Xiu's badly burned right hand. A smile appeared on his face: "Just try more. Let the body fully feel the heat of the flames, which will help spiritual awakening."

"Follow your teachings."

A smile appeared on Xiu's sweat-drenched face.

"Aunt Xiu!"

When the high priest left, Lin immediately flew into Jinxiu's arms, with big tears rolling down: "Your hand..."

"Relax, I have already begun to partially awaken. Although it looks serious, it is only a flesh wound."

Xiu comforted: "For the pursuit of my Lord and strength, this price is not a big deal."

Aaron couldn't help but nodded.

If it wasn't for the half-awakened 'darkness' spirituality, I'm afraid Xiu's hands would have been almost cooked, how could it look like they were just severely burned now?

After returning to the room and putting Lin to sleep, Xiu looked at Ike with a serious expression: "How are you?"

"Praise the Black Sun every day, they didn't doubt me..."

Ike replied quietly.

"Continue to maintain it. When I become a real unburned person, I can touch the spell and take you out of here."

Xiu firmly said.

She doesn't like this order, but she doesn't object to gaining power.

Aaron watched all this without saying a word.

He knew that the black sun's influence on believers was subtle and intense. Although this practice was well planned, the hope of success was really very slim.

"But... why am I not affected?"

Aaron mused.

According to his inquiries, even those who have not practiced the Secret Instruction of Darkness may still hear the ravings of Black Sun.

And if you believe in the black sun, this influence will increase dramatically!

However, Aaron couldn't hear any ravings except at the beginning.

Not only the black sun, but also those born on the moon, and other terrifying existences, he was not affected in the slightest except for the beginning.

In addition, he tried several times in secret, and found that even the obsidian altar enshrining [Black Sun] could not detect and warn him of his approach, which made him bolder to explore.

"The first possibility is that my personality is too high? No, no, this possibility is not great..."

Aaron thought a little amusedly: "So... are these god-like powerful beings ignoring me?"

"In the beginning, when those beings were born, the signal was the strongest, so I could hear..."

"And now, they just emit influence naturally, the signal has weakened a lot, and I can't hear it anymore..."

"Is this probably a more reasonable explanation?"

With a little sense of inquiry, Aaron's consciousness returned to the real body.

"Daily, get me a brazier!"

He shouted at the door, and it didn't take long for Daly to come in with a brazier in an iron clip: "My lord, although the weather is a bit cold, please remember to open the window if you want to enjoy the fire."

"Well, you go out first!"

After dismissing the maid, Aaron faced the flame and began to try to meditate.

Black Flame Meditation originally needed to refer to flames, and began to imagine flames of different colors burning in the thinking space, burning the body, and then stepping over one by one.

And in the teaching of the high priest, before every meditation, you need to ask the black sun, hoping to get closer to that existence during the meditation.

Aaron felt that he might not be able to practice this meditation method, but he still gave it a try.

An hour, two hours...

Three hours……

After changing the brazier several times, Aaron opened his eyes, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the flame burning in the brazier.

"hiss……"

The next moment, his hand withdrew like an electric shock, and burning pain came from his fingertips.

"I can't do it at all..."

"If this continues, my hands will be roasted..."

"If outsiders see it, they may think I'm crazy!"

Aaron shook his head, and asked Daly, who looked puzzled, to take the brazier away and close the door.

At the moment when the door was closed, he seemed to see the maid's gaze, which was a look of pity for the fool and caring for the mentally retarded.

"Did she see it?"

"Forget it, there's nothing to see..."

Aaron sat back at the desk, opened the locked drawer, and took out the notebook:

[Try the black flame meditation method, fail! 】

[Summary: I may not be suitable for the 'dark' path, or...is this really a world without demons? 】

[Spirituality exists in everything in that world, but not in this world... So, where does spirituality come from? 】

Aaron suddenly thought of the scarlet sun in the dream world.

There is also the information that Xiu said that after the cataclysm, everyone went crazy, and the craziest people turned into monsters.

【So... the humans in that world didn't have spirituality at all, but they were endowed with spirituality by the scarlet sun?So the craziest ones are also the ones with the most spirituality. Even if they don't follow the right path, they can still become monsters? 】

He suddenly felt that this was a very reasonable explanation.

[So... I am the root of everything? ! 】

Aaron suddenly thought of the information he had obtained back then.

[I am... the Creator in the dream! 】

Chapter 23 Ceremony

"Since I am the Creator, my mysterious energy is the source of spirituality... I should be able to change the dream world, or in other words, the spirit interferes with reality."

With this thought in mind, Aaron entered the dream world.

He came to the interior of a building familiarly. This is the place where the core members of the church can gather. The high priest occasionally imparts knowledge of mysticism here.

Today he was lucky, the person on the podium was the High Priest.

The eyes of the old man with bald head, wrinkled skin, and tattoos kept leaking traces of black flames. This is the manifestation of spiritual accumulation to a certain stage, which is about to overflow.

He spoke slowly, with a low voice:

"Everyone here is a person who has just awakened spiritually. I will teach you how to resist illness, how to stay away from danger, how to gain strength...even, in the end, step up the ladder full of radiance, get close to our gods, and obtain immortality !"

After fully mobilizing the emotions of the congregation below, the high priest smiled even more: "Of course, with your current superficial spirituality, you can only touch the simplest rituals. Remember, all rituals must be spiritual." Participation, therefore, is not truly Unburned, so you don't have to try it, unless you want to consume your own vitality instead!"

The high priest picked up a tree branch at random: "Next, the ritual I'm going to demonstrate has only one simple effect, that is, finding the way! It can help you find the way out as soon as possible... Be careful! It's not just because of your idiot getting lost , if you encounter some dangerous species that are good at confusing, or fall into a mysterious fog, it can also bring you a way out!"

"The whole ceremony is divided into rituals, necessary things, prayers, objects, prayers, sacrifices, etc.... Note that we can only pray to the great black sun, which is the Lord of Eclipses. There can be no slightest error or omission in the track, otherwise it will lead to extremely dire results..."

Aaron stood aside, nodding from time to time.

It can be seen that thanks to the tireless pollution or babbling of those great beings, the mysticism system of this world is rapidly expanding, and a unique mysticism has even been bred.

It includes many esoteric and subjective verification methods, involving many fields such as ritual science, extraordinary language, fantasy, spiritualism, magic wand search, numerology, natural magic, witchcraft, astrology and alchemy, etc. It can be called all-encompassing, No surprises.

On the podium, the high priest is still continuing: "The time of the ceremony is also optional. My Lord likes early morning and dusk. The probability of success is greatest when day and night alternate, but don't try it at noon when the sun is strongest. There was a teacher last time. You unfortunately burned yourself into coke..."

"When praying, avoid unclear subject, unclear words, or pause for too long, the Lord will feel offended..."

……

Aaron nodded, and already had some understanding of rituals: "This kind of mysterious ritual is mainly to leverage the mystery with one's own spirituality, communicate with the great existence in the dark, and pray for power... However, the black sun is the kind that will be gentle. Do you treat fellow believers?"

He felt that the high priest seemed to have just figured out a little bit of the way of sacrifice, but he was not proficient.

Perhaps the communication is just a little bit of brilliance from the black sun, and the so-called ritual feedback is just a natural reaction of that brilliance, just like an intelligent program.

"Otherwise, according to the madness of the Black Sun, the guys who communicated with Him should all be lunatics!"

Aaron thought jokingly, when the Church of the Black Sun really communicated with the Black Sun, he didn't know what his expression would be.

"Okay, the current situation is that I can't interfere in this world...but what if someone else takes the initiative to communicate with me?"

"For example, a believer uses his own spirituality to pry the ritual and connect to an unknown existence in the dark..."

Aaron thought for a while, a little depressed: "Uh... would such a crazy lunatic pray to the unknown?"

"And my wiring, or the sensing range, is definitely not as good as those guys in the Black Sun... It's a bit difficult to pretend to be an evil god."

"If you want to design a ceremony for me, what should the honorable name look like? The creator above the creation? The great observer behind the multiple curtains? Huh? Even if I have designed the honorable name, I can't tell it to my Believers..."

Aaron found himself in a dead end.

If you want to interfere with the world, you must have believers - if you want to have believers, you need to formulate rituals and honorable names - if you want to send honorable names to the ears of believers, you need to interfere with the world first!

"This is a dead end!"

Aaron complained: "I'll continue to be a transparent audience... Maybe I will bump into some idiot or lunatic, use an unknown ritual, and just happen to be sensed by me!"

On the stage, the high priest has finished today's lecture.

He looked down at the many unburned ones, and there was a well-disguised desire and greed in his eyes.
