"It is said that after the barbarians of the ancient grasslands snatched a woman, they would kill her first child because they could not be sure if it was their own …"
Aaron Sotos walked in Blacksun Town. "But, we Green Forest people are at least a little stronger than the grassland barbarians, right?"
Thinking of the bloody sacrifice of the [Green Banyan Tree Grandmother], Aaron could not 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 mber!"
The high priest had a pleasant smile on his face. From his eyes, his mouth and nose, it seed that black flas would flow down at any ti.
"I am willing to worship the Black Sun as my Lord and practice his path!"
Xiu's cheeks were a little thin, but her eyes were full of spirit.
Aaron could see that this woman must have tried the breathing and ditation of the church and reached a certain level.
"Black Fla ditation can be divided into four levels, naly red fla, yellow fla, blue fla, and purple fla. You have passed the red fla test …"
The high priest was very happy. "You can start the ritual of immortality and beco a real 'immortal'."
He motioned for the black-robed believer to co forward and bring over a burning brazier.
"As long as the spirituality awakens, ordinary flas will not be able to hurt you."
The high priest stretched out his hand and reached into the fla.
"I …"
Xiu gritted her teeth and put her hand into the fla.
Sizzle!
A sharp pain ca in an instant, and the sll of burning flesh imdiately spread.
Not far away, Eyke and Lin, who were watching, imdiately closed their eyes and could not bear to watch.
However, even though Xiu's face was twitching, She still held the high priest's hand in the fla.
"Very good. It is inevitable that you will get a little hurt on your first try."
The high priest removed the brazier and saw Xiu's badly burned right hand. A smile appeared on his face. "Try more. Let the body feel the heat of the fla. This will help the awakening of spirituality."
"I will follow your teachings."
A smile appeared on Xiu's sweat-soaked face.
"Aunt Xiu!"
When the high priest left, Lin imdiately flew into Xiu's arms, bean-sized tears rolling down. "Your hand …"
"Don't worry, I've already begun to partially awaken. Although it looks serious, it's just a flesh wound."
Xiu comforted her, "In order to pursue my Lord and power, this price is nothing."
Aaron couldn't help but nod.
If it weren't for the semi-awakened spirituality, perhaps Xiu's hand would have been almost roasted. How could it be that it was just a serious burn now?
After returning to the room and coaxing Lin to sleep, Xiu looked at Eyke with a serious expression: "How are you?"
"I've been praising Black Sun every day, and they didn't suspect …"
Eyke answered in a deep voice.
"Keep it up, once I beco a true Immortal, I'll be able to co into contact with spells and take you away from here"
Xiu firmly said.
She did not like the Order, but she did not reject the idea of gaining power.
Aaron watched all this without saying a word.
He knew that the influence of the Black Sun on the believers was subtle and very intense. Although Xiu's plan was very good, the hope of success was very slim.
"But … why am I not affected?"
Aaron pondered.
According to his investigation, even those who did not cultivate the Secret Art of the Blacksun might be able to hear the ravings of the Black Sun.
And if one believed in the Black Sun, the influence would increase exponentially!
However, Aaron could not hear any ravings other than at the beginning.
In addition, he secretly tried a few tis and found that even the obsidian altar enshrining the Black Sun could not detect or warn him of his approach. This made him a lot bolder to explore.
"The first possibility is that my status is too high? No, no, this possibility is not big … "
Aaron thought with so amusent: "So … these powerful existences have ignored ?"
"In the beginning, when those existences were born, the signal was strongest, so I could hear it …"
"But now, they are just naturally emitting their influence, and the signal has weakened a lot, so I can't hear it …"
"This is probably a more reasonable explanation?"
With a little intention to explore, Aaron's consciousness returned to his real body.
"Daly, get a brazier!"
He shouted at the door, and not long after, Daly ca in with a brazier. "Sir Lord, although the weather is a little cold, please rember to open the windows if you want to warm yourself."
"Mm, you can leave first!"
After sending the maid away, Aaron faced the flas and tried to ditate.
The Black Fla ditation Technique required reference to flas. He began to imagine flas of different colors burning in his mind space, burning his body, and then stepped over them one by one.
And according to the teachings of the high priest, before each ditation, he had to pray to the Black Sun, hoping to be closer to that existence during ditation.
Aaron felt that he probably would not be able to master this ditation technique, but he did not give up and gave it a try.
One hour, two hours …
Three hours …
After changing the brazier a few tis, Aaron opened his eyes and reached out to grab the flas burning in the brazier.
"Hiss …"
The next mont, he retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and a burning pain ca from his fingertips.
"I can't do it at all …"
"If I continue, my hand will be roasted …"
"If outsiders see this, they might think I'm crazy!"
Aaron shook his head and let the puzzled Daly take the brazier away before closing the door.
The mont he closed the door, he seed to see the maid's gaze. It was a gaze of pity for a fool and concern for a ntally handicapped person.
"She saw it?"
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if she saw it …"
Aaron sat back at the desk, opened the locked drawer, and took out his notebook.
[Attempted Black Fla ditation Technique, failed!]
[Conclusion: I might not be suitable for the path of Immortality or perhaps … this is really a world without magic?]
[Spirituality exists in all things in that world, but it does not exist in this world … Then, where does spirituality co from?]
Aaron suddenly thought of the scarlet sun in the dream world.
Also, according to Xiu, after the Great Cataclysm, everyone went crazy, and the craziest people turned into monsters.
[So … the humans in that world did not have spirituality, but were given spirituality by the scarlet sun? So, the craziest ones were also the ones with the most spirituality. Even if they did not go on the right path, they could still mutate into monsters?]
He suddenly felt that this was a very reasonable explanation.
[So … I'm the root of everything?!]
Aaron suddenly thought of the information he had obtained.
