"You have acquired Supernatural Knowledge from the Destiny Faction!"
"Sequence Five - Juggler (5/6)!"
On the back of the parchnt, there was a brief ssage from Philip—
"Jack, I really couldn't find the last missing part no matter how hard I tried… Maybe you could wait a bit longer."
At this mont, the faceless servant added another sentence:
"Philip, Your Majesty, the acting chairman of the Twilight Tea Party, also asked to relay a ssage, saying he wishes you a Happy New Year."
"..."
Chen Lun kept a smile on his face, but inwardly he cursed.
'I guessed right… This guy really doesn't want to hand over the Supernatural Knowledge willingly!'
A Destiny Saint, and he can't find a complete piece of Sequence Five Supernatural Knowledge?
At the very least, he could have written one…
Simply put, it was deliberate.
Imdiately, Chen Lun thought of sothing else.
Hadn't he already obtained one-sixth of it in the first cabin in the Crystal Mountain Range?
In this way, that made up the complete knowledge needed for the "Juggler" promotion.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.
'Hey, Philip, you miscalculated…'
He took out the manuscript stored inside the Blood Poem Ring.
He placed this manuscript together with the parchnt and made a quick comparison.
The next second, Chen Lun's expression stiffened.
Because he realized that the one-sixth he had in his hand was the sa as the five-sixths Philip had sent.
Ultimately, he had still been played by Philip.
'Being a high-ranking figure of destiny, he must know his own progress in the Immortal Realm…'
Chen Lun sighed deeply.
'It seems I need to make another trip to the Immortal Realm, to the Crystal Mountain Range, to find the last one-sixth.'
He knew that when Philip said to wait a bit longer, it was most likely a joke… that guy probably wouldn't give him this last small part of the Supernatural Knowledge; he would have to figure it out himself.

Solar Calendar 4420, January 1st.
A sensational event shook the entire Tresor Empire.
Due to the rebellion of the Red Apple Church, a vacancy in the Righteous God Church was filled!
This morning at ten o'clock sharp,
Represented by the Sun Royal Family, Prince Dazlert formally ascended the high platform at the Fire Pattern Plaza in the Royal City of Bixie, and in the presence of tens of thousands, he proclaid the na of the newly appointed Righteous God Church.
The Mutual Aid Society was officially renad as the "Generous Council," becoming one of the Seven Righteous God Churches.
And the King of Slaughter they worshipped beca officially recognized as a Righteous God!
It was allowed to preach within the Empire.
This was a milestone event that truly deserved to be recorded in the annals of the Empire…
This news quickly hit the front pages of newspapers across the Empire, and the "Generous Council" beca a focal point of discussion among the public and the Mystic Realm for a long ti thereafter.
The Murder Club successfully overca their arch-enemy, the Black Knife Brotherhood, and secured this valuable seat!
In Peacock City of Rock State, Chen Lun also received the news at the first instance.
In the living room.
He took a deep breath and shared the news with his companions.
"Mr. Jack, does this an that you are now part of the high ranks of the Righteous God Church?!"
Connie asked with excited and respectful eyes.
The other Circus mbers also cast curious glances.
"If all goes well, that's the case."
Chen Lun smiled and replied.
anwhile, he lifted his right hand and spread his palm towards everyone.
"But Connie got one thing wrong, that from now on, everyone here is part of the Righteous God Church… Though not clergy, not involved in preaching or garrison duties, but can be assigned under my command with a layer of executive team status."
Noah quickly understood and explained to the other companions:
"According to what Mr. Jack said, with this status, we are no longer just any ordinary supernatural organization… but a subordinate institution of the 'Generous Council' of the Righteous God Church."
Apart from Antonio and Alec, everyone showed a look of astonishnt.
Becoming a mber of the Righteous God Church was sothing they had never even considered… And most importantly, their leader was now a high official of the Righteous God Church!
With this, who would dare to provoke them?
Just then.
On one side of the living room sofa, a faceless servant stepped out from the air.
Everyone knew its identity, and this ti they were no longer surprised.
And Chen Lun had already anticipated its arrival, turning to look at it."Good day, Mr. Jack."
The faceless servant nodded to everyone and then saluted Chen Lun by placing a hand on its chest.
"The Round Table Knights invite you to attend an important eting…"
"Alright, I understand."
Chen Lun nodded.He whispered a few words to Floey by his side, greeted everyone, and then followed the faceless servant into the Spirit World to leave.
Once the leader had left, the Circus mbers exploded into excited chatter about the event.Floey stood quietly on the side with a smile on her face.
Everything was developing for the better.
She felt joy at this.

Spirit World.
On the way to headquarters.
The faceless attendant explained to Chen Lun:
"Mr. Jack, I'd like to inform you in advance that since the Mutual Aid Society has now been renad the 'Generous Council,' the Knight Commander has accordingly beco the Speaker... and the ten great ones of the Round Table Knights have beco the newly founded 'Senate's ten Governing Officers."
It took out a brand new gold badge, which had an engraving of nurous contracts filled with text, encircled by a red wine cup adorned with an olive branch.
"This is your new identity verification, Golden Cup Councilor. From now, you are free to participate in every high-level eting, big or small, possessing the rights to vote, propose, and nominate, among other powers… You can collect a copy of the 'Generous Prir' at headquarters to check the specific regulations."
"Thank you, I understand."
Chen Lun took the badge and directly pinned it on his lapel.
He took a deep breath, realizing that the things he had worked hard to push forward finally bore fruit...
Next, he was very much looking forward to it.
Shortly thereafter.
Chen Lun followed the faceless attendant, leaving the Spirit World, and appeared in another main city of the Rock State.
Shining Fragnt City.
In the depths of the city, behind a manor, the faceless attendant used a black card, seemingly a token, to slice open a slit in the air, filled with swirling, dark shadows.
It pulled the slit open like a curtain and bowed slightly, gesturing for Chen Lun to enter.
Chen Lun nodded slightly, adjusted his black hat and suit, and holding his silver staff, took a step forward.
Whoosh—
The bustling noise hit him head-on.
Chen Lun squinted his eyes, adjusted to the setting, and then cleared his view of the scene before him.
It was a brightly lit hall, elegantly decorated, with a row of high-end wooden counters directly ahead, behind which sat many faceless females wearing burgundy uniforms... Long sofas were placed on both sides of the hall, where many new ordinary councilors and Silver Cup Councilors were lounging and chatting.
There were also plenty of gentlen in suits, buzzing around with excited and joyful expressions.
At each corner of the hall, there were three pathways, as well as a staircase leading up.
The staircase was secluded behind a dark curtain of shadows and did not look easily accessible.
"Mr. Jack, if you have any questions, you may inquire with the female attendants... All six pathways lead to the Great Hall; in three hours, the Speaker and the Senate Governors will attend and preside over the first eting of the Generous Council," the faceless attendant ca to Chen Lun and introduced him.
"And the second floor is where our hidden areas of the Senate are, while the third floor is where the Speaker's office is located... The Speaker has instructed that once you arrive at headquarters, you should co upstairs to et with Him, as He has important matters to discuss with you."
"Okay, I understand."
Chen Lun nodded and tipped the attendant.
The faceless attendant bowed after touching his chest and then withdrew.
Not hurrying upstairs, Chen Lun stood still and looked around. Scores of councilors bustled through the hall, busy yet full of vigor.
This was the atmosphere within the newly ford Righteous God Church.
Busy, passionate, and filled with hope.
Chen Lun could very well relate to that emotion.
Suddenly, the shadow curtain at the escalator on his right started quivering, and a tall figure descended from above. This person was adorned in retro knight's armor, cloaked in a gray robe rich with vertical lines and covered with splendid golden patterns.
The Governing Officer of the Senate!
The people who were chatting and laughing suddenly stopped interacting, all stood up, bowed with respect and a hint of fanaticism toward the figure at the stairwell. Even those who were briskly moving stopped their steps and work to pay their respects all at once.
"Governor Kingsberg!"
His face revealed a smile as he raised his hand to signal:
"Well, everyone, please, no need for formalities, I'm just here on behalf of the Speaker to greet a ritorious councilor."
As Kingsberg's resounding voice spoke, everyone's expression dramatically changed.
A ritorious councilor?!
The Speaker personally nad him, and the Governing Officer ca down to et him in person!
Who could it be?!
In the magnificent hall, many councilors' eyes subtly scanned around, searching for the target.
But with the hall crowded, no one could pinpoint who it was for a mont.
Not until Governor Kingsberg personally approached a young man in a black hat.
Who is that?
Everyone showed a surprised look.
"Jack, co with ," Kingsberg said affectionately, patting Chen Lun's shoulder with a smile.
"The Speaker has been waiting for you for a long ti."
"I apologize, Governor, for my tardiness."
Chen Lun took off his hat, revealing his extrely handso face, then bowed like a gentleman, full of apology.
Kingsberg said nothing, rely gestured lightly with his hand and then, shoulders squared, led the way ahead.
Chen Lun, head bowed, followed closely behind.
The two of them, one after the other, gradually disappeared behind the shadow curtain, ascending to the second floor.
The crowd on the ground floor was instantly abuzz!
"Jack!"
"So it was him!"
"That's the 'Pale Knight,' also known as the 'Spade Knight'... the one who cut down the Incarnation of the Saint Terence of the Sun Church, and later killed the Incarnation of the Saint of the Rothfuss family, a truly ruthless person!"
"I also heard it was he who facilitated the cooperation between the Twilight Tea Party and us, playing a key role during the final battle... No wonder, with such feats, he might even make it into the 'Senate'!"
"That's unlikely, since he hasn't advanced to a higher position yet... But such a young Golden Cup Councilor, it's unimaginable!"
The discussions in the first-floor hall, Chen Lun did not hear.
By this ti, he was already following Governor Kingsberg to the second floor.
"The Speaker is currently on the second floor, and the other Round Table Knights... now the Governing Officers of the 'Senate' are all here as well," Kingsberg chuckled.
"Yes, sir," Chen Lun voiced his understanding.
Then they saw the towering figure in front push open a heavy wooden door.
Inside...
In a hidden eting hall, around a large, smooth marble round table, sat eight n and won.
At the far end, there was another middle-aged man sitting in a high chair.
They all looked over simultaneously.
