After sailing around the primordial island three times, the *Dawn* finally set sail towards the storm-shrouded distance.
Bernadette slowly withdrew her gaze and rested her eyes on the
As a "Prophet", she clearly saw the opportunity for advancement, understanding that she had completed the corresponding ritual and prevented a disaster involving high-level powers.
But the price was personally sealing away her own father, the father she had missed and pursued for over a hundred years.
"What a brilliant irony..." Bernadette looked at the vertical eye set with diamonds and let out an almost inaudible sigh.
After leaving Intis, she had two main wishes. The first was to investigate the truth of those matters, to see if she had misunderstood her father. The second was to follow the footsteps her father left behind, to see what he had experienced, and whether there was a possibility of resurrection.
Her first wish, Bernadette had already fulfilled. The truth was that she had indeed misunderstood her father. This made her suffer less, struggle less, and completely dissolved her resentment towards her father. But it also added a great deal of guilt.
Carrying this guilt and her long-standing longing, she strove to fulfill her second wish. But the final result was far from beautiful.
If there had never been any hope, she might not have had such a strong emotional reaction. But she had clearly seen the dawn of hope, seen her father, and yet had to personally return him to slumber.
After a long silence, Bernadette's slightly unfocused eyes became clear again.
She no longer hesitated, no longer blamed herself, no longer generated all kinds of negative emotions. Firmly raising her right hand, she traced one ancient word after another that shimmered with starlight in the void, summoning the spirit world creature with a human upper body and a wind-like lower body, retrieving from it some of the supplementary materials for the "Sage" potion.
As for the remaining parts, since they didn't need special preservation, they were in the collection room of the *Dawn*.
Before long, Bernadette, with the help of the "
Glancing at the "Sage" potion, which gurgled bubbles, each containing a transparent eye, Bernadette raised her right hand with a determined expression and brought the glass bottle to her lips.
She knew that what was needed at this moment was not sadness, not sentimentality, but a firm heart and the will to move forward. Because to help her father, Emperor Roselle, get rid of the corruption and fully resurrect, she needed a higher Sequence and greater power.
For this, she was willing to bury her pain in the deepest part of her heart, not letting it affect her mental state, only bringing it out at night when she was alone to savor it by herself.
As the "Sage" potion entered her mouth, Bernadette's body became illusory at a visible speed.
She decomposed into streams of vast and complex knowledge, transforming into the form of a torrent of information.
The entire *Dawn*, and even the surrounding wind, rain, lightning, seawater, and waves, all lost their sense of reality, as if they had been reduced to the most basic, most fundamental, various kinds of information.
For the vast majority of Sequence 3s on the "Mystery Pryer" pathway, this state is extremely dangerous. If the will is not strong enough, the luck not good enough, the preparations not sufficient enough, the torrent of knowledge one becomes will be infiltrated, scoured, and assimilated by all kinds of external information within seconds, rapidly losing consciousness, never to reassemble a body, transforming into a very bizarre and very difficult to deal with monster in mysticism:
Knowledge Sprite!
It is also called an "Information Creature".
Relying on the "Sage's Headband", Bernadette had transformed into a torrent of information many times before. Although it was limited to two or three seconds, not maintaining for long, she still had some experience. At this moment, she struggled to maintain her consciousness and established a connection with the spirit world information that had prevented a high-level disaster.
This information bore her distinct imprint, involved a very high level, and seemed unusually "solid". It was not scattered by other information in the short term, helping her to initially stabilize her consciousness and gradually gather her own diverging and diluting main torrent of information.
During this process, Klein, above the
Time passed minute by minute, second by second. Many times, Bernadette teetered on the brink of losing consciousness, but she managed to pull through each time, gathered all the information that belonged to her, and began to reassemble her body.
At this time, she could gradually feel the concern of "Admiral of the Stars"
This made her state increasingly stable, allowing her to resist the ancient will that was slowly emerging within her.
Just at this moment, streams of secret information came from nowhere, taking advantage of Bernadette's opportunity to reassemble her body, attempting to merge with her.
This was interference from the "
As a certain embodiment of knowledge and information in this world, as the approximate Sequence 0 of the "Mystery Pryer" pathway, the "Hidden Sage" can exert a certain influence on those of the same pathway below itself.
Without giving Bernadette a chance to use the Pale Mask, the "Curtain" draped over Klein lightly rose.
Around Bernadette, time and space instantly twisted, completely isolating her area from the outside world, so that even information could not interact.
Seizing this sudden peace, Bernadette completely reassembled her body, and with the help of her anchors, initially balanced the terrifying will generated within her.
At this moment, she truly became He, became the Sequence 2 Angel of the "Mystery Pryer" pathway, a great figure in the mystical world who could be honored as a "Hidden Existence".
Immediately after, she saw the twisted space-time around her return to normal, and saw streams of secret information surging towards her.
She then extended her right hand, easily grasping that information, and extracted the useful knowledge contained within.
Just as Bernadette was about to return from the Spirit World to reality, a streak of orange light suddenly rose before her eyes.
