Chapter 1347: The Peculiarity of the Visionary (Asking for Guaranteed Monthly Tickets)

… The last time Klein heard this appellation was from the descending consciousness of the "", and before that, from the of history, the Creator of the .

In a sense, these two could be equated: The True Creator is the evil spirit of the Ancient Sun God after He took back the personality of .

However, unlike before, hearing this appellation didn't make Klein tremble, shock him, or set his teeth on edge.

His feeling at this moment was akin to seeing a stone that had been suspended for a very long time finally fall to the ground.

Of course, he wasn't that calm either. A certain degree of surprise, dismay, and disbelief was unavoidable. It was just that the Mind Dragon Erihog's words, " might not necessarily be Adam," had caused him to guess many possibilities and have the corresponding psychological preparation.

So we meet again, Lord of the Mysteries… Does Adam equal the Ancient Sun God? Or is He a backup plan for the Ancient Sun God's resurrection? He knows this, yet still wants to revive His father. Is that why calls Him a "paranoid"? Countless thoughts flashed through Klein's mind, giving him a completely new understanding of certain previous matters.

No wonder Adam has never propagated His own doctrine, but only spread the legacy of the Ancient Sun God!

Klein initially thought this was because the "Visionary" was special enough to rely on the "Uniqueness" to create a bunch of seemingly real believers to serve as anchors without needing to gather faith separately. Now it seemed that this was only one of the reasons.

After a two-second silence, he looked into Adam's pale eyes, which seemed to contain no impurities, and said: "Are you the Ancient Sun God?"

Adam maintained the gentle smile of a priest and said in an enlightening tone: "Don't you think that among the eight Kings of Angels, I am the most special one?"

"After reading the content about the Old Ones on the second Blasphemy Slate, you should be able to clearly perceive this."

Indeed… Klein nodded, acknowledging this.

"Among the five Kings of Angels related to 'Omniscience and Omnipotence,' you are the only one holding a 'Uniqueness'."

According to the mystical knowledge Klein had grasped so far, during the era when the Creator of the City of Silver was still alive, the respective states of the eight Kings of Angels were as follows: "Dark Angel" Sasrir had digested two Sequence 1 "Hanged Man" pathway Beyonder characteristics and possessed the first Blasphemy Slate. He could partially mobilize the power of the "". Thus, he was the Vice Sovereign of Heaven, the Left Hand of God, the King of Angels among Kings of Angels; "Pure Angel" Osekkus accommodated two "Sun" pathway Sequence 1 characteristics; "Wind Angel" Leodero, "Wisdom Angel" Herabergen, and "Fate Angel" Urolyssus all similarly possessed two Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics of their respective pathways; "Time Angel" and "Red Angel" Medici each possessed a "Uniqueness" of their own Pathway plus one corresponding Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic; "Visionary Angel" Adam possessed a "Uniqueness" of the "Spectator" pathway plus either one or two Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics.

At first glance, this was normal, but upon closer thought, it was somewhat strange: "Time Angel" Amon and "Red Angel" Medici do not belong to the five "Omniscience and Omnipotence" pathways. It's fine for the Ancient Sun God to grant the "Uniqueness" to them through different methods. But Adam is different. The "Visionary" is one of the five "Omniscience and Omnipotence" pathways. The corresponding "Uniqueness" was one of the cornerstones for the Ancient Sun God to become an Old One. In other words, this is equivalent to one of the three Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics that make up a Sequence 0. How could it be casually separated?

One must know that even Sasrir, as the Vice Sovereign of Heaven, the Left Hand of God, didn't receive the "Uniqueness" of the "Hanged Man" pathway, let alone the three: "Wind Angel" Leodero, "Wisdom Angel" Herabergen, and "Pure Angel" Osekkus.

Klein initially thought it was because the Ancient Sun God sensed the awakening of the "Primordial One" and thus intentionally separated one of the five "Uniquenesses" by giving birth, actively lowering His own level to resist that erosion and corruption.

This was likely the thinking of other deities and Kings of Angels during that era as well.

It was only when he heard Erihog's words, "Adam might not necessarily be Adam," that Klein began to feel there might be a deeper secret hidden within this matter and had quite a few guesses.

After witnessing some content from the final lines of the second "Blasphemy Slate," he found it even more peculiar. Since "Uniqueness" is one of the cornerstones of forming an Old One, if the Sefirah is the foundation, then the corresponding "Uniquenesses" are the different load-bearing pillars. Losing any one of them would cause a major problem. If the Ancient Sun God wanted to actively lower His level, a much better choice would be to separate a Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic, which was relatively safer.

Wearing a simple white robe and a thick golden beard, Adam walked step by step to Klein's side, turned around, looked at the "Blasphemy Slate" and said: "The 'Visionary' has a very special aspect.

"A normal Sequence 0 is composed of a 'Uniqueness' plus three Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics. If any one is missing, one cannot be called a true god and can only be considered a King of Angels. However, the 'Visionary' can, after becoming Sequence 0, separate two Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics and replace them with the corresponding 'imagined' characteristics.

"The 'imagined' things are sufficiently real. They can perfectly function under the framework of a 'Uniqueness' plus one Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic, allowing the 'Visionary' to have their rank unlowered and power undiminished.

"The two separated, genuine Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics can combine with one of one's own identities, or an 'imagined' living being, allowing them to become 'Authors,' acting freely. When necessary, through certain methods or mediums, they can transform back into the main body.

"As for the 'Omniscient and Omnipotent One,' they can 'create' a 'Uniqueness' that lies between reality and illusion to maintain their state, as long as it doesn't exceed the necessary limit."

So this was the relationship between the Dream Dragon Ankervart and His child, the "Nightmare Dragon" ? I once thought the "Seer" and "Marauder" pathways were the most sinister, but now it seems they can't compare to the "Spectator"… Ah, beware the Spectator… Klein had completely resolved a major doubt in his heart, and also understood why the Dream Dragon Ankervart had arranged for the "0-08" quill to meet "Grosell's Travels".

Once they met, "0-08," the quill originating from the "Nightmare Dragon" Alzuhod, would "awaken" and become the lowered-level Dream Dragon Ankervart. Then, this resurrected Ancient God would utilize His own negative personality sealed behind the Bronze Gate to indirectly mobilize the power of the "Chaos Sea," instantly reaching the level of the strongest King of Angels below a true god.

With such a foundation, He would have a chance to compete with Adam for the position of "Visionary" and fully resurrect.
