Chapter 103 Klein: The Stupid Author
Klein sat on the train, watching the smog gradually dissipate on the horizon.
He didn't want to appear in front of Benson and Melissa like this.
So be it.
The most urgent task now is to increase our own strength.
Whether through potions, absorbing faith, or exchanging at the Pavilion of All Heavens...
The first step is to advance through magic potions and gain control of the Gray Mist, which is the Source Castle.
On the other side of the Heavenly Pavilion, the level of the Source Fortress is at least the eighth rank. According to the correspondence of the Devouring Stars, if you calculate carefully, it should be a Universe Venerable.
Although we don't know the true god's strength, based on some ancient legends of divine wars and the ruins left behind from battles between gods, it is probably not at this level and is much lower.
At least the raging sea left behind by the Grim Reaper in legends isn't that big.
If a god is only at this level, then he might not even be as good as a cosmic-level martial artist who can devour the stars. He would probably be slapped by a ninth-level cosmic-level martial artist and made to spin like a top.
It is far inferior to Yuanbao, by a full four levels, and is indeed not worth worrying about.
Of course, this could also be to prevent the destruction of the planet, since believers are also the anchor that keeps the true God from going out of control.
Once one has control of the Source Castle, or even just a certain amount of power, one can transform from a potential pawn into a player.
With a sigh, Klein closed his eyes and clicked on the virtual panel in his mind.
The next moment, Klein opened his eyes and found himself no longer in the original steam train carriage, but in the quaint little house.
Xu Qing, sitting at the counter, smiled slightly:
"The Night's Watch, the extraordinary characteristics of the Lawful Mages, the pen of Althurod, it seems Mr. Zhou has already avenged his great grudge. Congratulations."
Even before Klein entered, Xu Qing had already deduced some things from his extraordinary characteristics and the items he possessed.
Al-Sükhod's Pen:
A sealed artifact formed from the characteristics of the Nightmare Dragon Alshogod after its death, which can be used to revive the Imaginary Dragon when fused with "The Journey of Grosser".
The stories he writes will become reality, corresponding to the first step in the dreamer's path: writer.
Quality: Tier 3, Rarity: 90
[The extraordinary characteristics of the Law Master:]
The Sequence 4 Extraordinary trait of the Judgement Path can be used to advance a Lawful Mage after being made into a potion.
Quality: Tier 1 High Rarity: 99
The Night Watchman:
The Sequence 4 Extraordinary trait of the Night Path can promote one to Night Watchman upon consumption.
Quality: Tier 1 High Rarity: 99
"So, Mr. Zhou, what would you like to exchange for?"
Xu Qing lightly tapped the counter with her fingertips.
"I see your divine soul has already reached the perfection of the fourth tribulation. Do you wish to exchange it for a higher level of divine soul power, or do you still want the elixir? Or perhaps both?"
Klein paused for a moment, then sat down opposite Xu Qing, raising his eyes to ask, "Before the deal, Pavilion Master Xu, I'd like to ask something, just as I said when I first came here: I want to know about my future."
"And did the Goddess of Night orchestrate the escape of the Pen of Alshurst?"
"You actually asked that?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Qing's eyes, then he nodded and said:
"Did the Pen of Alshurst tell you this? It's right, this was indeed the work of the Goddess of Night."
Upon receiving confirmation from the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Pavilion, Klein's expression suddenly darkened:
"What about the Tingen affair? Was that also orchestrated by Yagami? Or did she plan it with her knowledge?"
When asked this, Xu Qing's lips twitched slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "This matter is a bit complicated."
"According to the original author of your world, she must have foreseen the profits involved and did it intentionally, making a deal with some important figure, 5"
"But according to the later supplementary setting, when the Goddess of Night released the Pen of Alshogod, she only sensed the variables and possibilities of fate, but could not be completely certain about the subsequent developments."
"What does 'not entirely certain about the future direction' mean?"
"It means exactly what it says."
Klein's fingertips unconsciously rubbed his cuff. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, his tone carrying a faint hint of sarcasm, yet without losing his composure:
"So, while the Night in the original story was a god who wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice his subordinates to achieve his goals, he was still a shrewd, ambitious, and intelligent being who could see clear benefits, right?"
"After the author revised it, it became a bizarre, stupid, and wicked character?"
"Does the author really think it's funny that a god would release a highly dangerous Sequence 1 sealed artifact just because of a random, uncertain future?"
Klein shook his head and looked at Xu Qing:
"So, Master Xu, what was the ending for the Goddess of Night in the original storyline?"
Xu Qing said, "With your help, I have been promoted to the Old Days."
Klein: "?"
Upon hearing this, Klein's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
"What is meant by 'Old Ones'? Are they a rank above the true gods?"
Xu Qing: "Yes, that's right. She absorbed the Source Essence and advanced to the Ancient Realm, similar to your Source Castle, but a notch weaker."
Upon hearing this, Klein couldn't help but ask:
"And then what?"
Xu Qing: "What else could it be? And then that was it."
Upon hearing this, Klein, who had already felt that Dunn's death was even more unjust, twitched at the corner of his mouth again.
Xu Qing replied, "Moreover, the source material you had Ye obtain is the Yellow River of China."
Upon hearing this, Klein's pupils contracted slightly, but quickly regained their composure, and he simply said, "The Yellow River? So, the world I live in is actually Earth?"
Xu Qing nodded: "To be precise, you never time-traveled; you simply woke up after sleeping for countless years."
Upon hearing this, Klein immediately felt that some details were being piqued.
No wonder a year is also divided into twelve months, with 365 to 366 days in a year, and a week also has seven days.
This place was originally Earth.
Klein remained silent for a long time, his fingertips finally stopping their movements. When he looked up, his gaze had calmed down.
"So, I not only helped the Goddess of Night, who was inextricably linked to Dunn's death, ascend to the Ancients, but I also allowed her to take away the Mother River of China?"
Even if, as Xu Qing said, the darkness did not directly and subjectively cause Dunn's death, there is still a connection between them.
He was already showing restraint by not seeking revenge against her, so why would he turn around and help her?
"Sect Master Xu," Klein said, still puzzled, before turning to Xu Qing.
"The author wouldn't write a cliché story like 'the night is me' or 'Klein's closest relative,' would they? Otherwise, I really can't understand why the 'me' in the original story would do something like that."
Xu Qing: "The Goddess of the Night does indeed have some connection with you. She's from the same time as you, but she woke up a little earlier."
"So he's from the same hometown as Huang Tao?" Hearing this, Klein felt relieved, but also felt a bit caught in the middle.
"Oh, no, she's white."
"Then should I give her the Yellow River?"
