Volume 7 Coral Chapter 638: Great Conception
Chen Lun's consciousness gradually faded.
He slowly withdrew his perception of the outside world, and the last scene he saw was Neil struggling to steer the boat, taking his pregnant wife Lafla away into the dark sea.
"I hope I can see the results when I wake up again..."
Chen Lun was full of expectations.
He bestowed all the low-sequence knowledge of the three paths of sorrow and joy on Neil. His purpose was simple, which was to see what kind of brilliant sparks this "Snake's Follower" who walked the Holy Fire Path would produce after absorbing the power of nature, fate, and magic.
Destiny Sequence 2 [Anonymous].
It is the sublimation of mythical creatures that transcend to eternal existence. In addition to the previous sequence being qualitatively strengthened again, it will also master an ability comparable to that of gods - turning the virtual into the real!
Turn fictional destiny into reality.
This is not just about fictionalizing a character, but also fictionalizing a real and complete destiny, allowing it to blend seamlessly and realistically into reality, becoming an established development trajectory, becoming history, and becoming an indispensable part of the world.
By then, relying on the "secret" authority contained in the "Hide and Seek" bookmark, Chen Lun will be able to add to and modify the development of the world at will without anyone noticing...
Let’s take the simplest example.
If the time span is extended to dozens or hundreds of years, Chen Lun can even create a fictional character and let him become king smoothly according to the predetermined fate, and no one in the entire kingdom will know that all this was arranged in advance.
How the kingdom should develop afterwards, whether it should be exploration and war, or conservation and construction, all depends on Chen Lun's decision.
It was an extremely horrifying vision.
As for the Destiny Sequence One [Ouroboros].
As the "last stop" at the end of the road of destiny, the sequence that His Majesty Oscar is in will master an even more terrifying sequence ability - turning reality into illusion!
Using its power over fate, Ouroboros can easily transform real things into fictional products by extracting the fate behind them, and then modify or add or delete them at will...
In other words, Ouroboros can tamper with established reality.
And Chen Lun has infinite expectations for this.
That's why Neil was chosen as the object of observation.
He had an idea.
This idea came into his mind the moment he got the knowledge of Ouroboros, but he never mentioned it and buried it deep in his heart.
It was not until he traveled across the ocean to the outer continent and witnessed the wonder and potential of the Holy Fire Path in Neil that this idea came to his mind again.
And this time, it was even stronger and more determined.
That is——
Chen Lun planned that in the future, when he was promoted to Ouroboros, he would turn his real self into fiction, and then invent a completely new self and turn it into reality.
Then, he will gain a "self" with unlimited potential, power comparable to that of a true God, but like a blank sheet of paper!
If we let it walk the path of holy fire, and then turn back and absorb the power of the ten paths of the Yanita continent...
What would that be like?!
Even Chen Lun himself couldn’t predict it!
In the last moment before falling asleep , when he thought of this idea again, he had a shuddering guess...
Lord Huan, did He predict these thoughts of mine?
Guide yourself to the outer continent and eventually discover the secret of the Holy Fire Path, which will give rise to these thoughts.
Is this the real way to save the world?
That’s right…
Even if I eventually become a god, I will only be the second Huan Gong. How can I do what even Huan Gong couldn't do?
But if I really did all this.
Wouldn't that mean that he had completed the intention of the old "Azure Holy Fire" ahead of time, devouring the ten great avenues and thus possessing unimaginable power!
In the words of his ancestors in previous lives, this is "learning the skills of the foreigners in order to control them"... With the source of the crime of "not returning home" in hand, Chen Lun does not have to worry about suffering a loss in power after embarking on the path of the Holy Fire.
Even the "Azure Sacred Flame" of old can't affect me.
He must suffer this loss in silence!
But……
Why doesn't Huangong do it himself?
Chen Lun believed that if it was Duke Huan, the god behind the scenes who silently guarded the world of Anita, he would definitely be able to do better !
But He fell...
And I inherited everything from him and completed his unfinished great cause.
In his hazy consciousness, Chen Lun thought a lot.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but I sensed that I had once again come to a vast white world, with endless gray fog.
That strange yet familiar figure is still sitting at the end of the world.
Chen Lun was presented with a lonely back.
"Alan, you are my greatest hope. Only you can do what I couldn't do back then."
Without even turning back, the voice of his father Chen Feng was heard.
This was the second time Chen Lun came here, and also the second time he heard his father, or Duke Huan, say this to him.
No……
Not the second time!
Chen Lun's memories suddenly flooded back and he thought of his childhood.
He had heard his father say this more than once.
When I send myself to school, when I say goodbye in front of the hovercraft, when I go home to eat and watch TV together, or when I occasionally go out for fun...
Picture after picture flashed through Chen Lun's mind like lightning.
This sentence, like the hope of countless fathers for their sons to become successful, does not seem to have much meaning, and I never cared about it or thought about it deeply when I was a child.
Until now…
Chen Lun finally understood the deep meaning behind this sentence.
"If you want to save the world of Anita, save yourself and the people around you, then this is a path with a very high success rate. It is not an exaggeration to call it a "great idea"... Only in this way can you master the power far beyond the true God!"
He looked at the figure from afar.
Although I don’t know why Duke Huan didn’t do it himself at that time.
But Chen Lun remembered his strongest trump card all along -
Animal imitation!
It is so similar to the characteristics of the Holy Fire Path.
Could this be the way out that Duke Huan explored and developed long, long ago?
But it still failed!
"Alan, you are my greatest hope. What I couldn't do back then, only you can do..."
These words kept echoing in Chen Lun's heart.
His consciousness had completely gone silent, and his thoughts came to an abrupt end.

Sun Continent.
June 6, 4428 in the solar calendar.
Before we knew it, the war of the century had lasted for more than five years, and the mainland had become completely divided among various factions.
The war never stops.
Although large-scale fighting has decreased, frictions between large and small forces occur every day.
The southern territory of the Kingdom of Byron is more vast than before. The area that originally belonged to the Imperial Forest State has now been completely occupied by Byron.
Under the leadership of Queen Anna, the Trisur Empire adopted a defensive policy of retreat. Although it lost the three city areas of Xinbang, Huangbang, and Linbang, the insect kingdom also rebelled and split under the continuous erosion and disintegration of Beelzebub.
In the end, the empire held on to the Flower State, the Gem State and the Rock State, and has barely managed to survive to this day.
The former Linbang Lengye City is now the Frost District of Dibei County.
The huge Bountiful Church area has been demolished and replaced by a college area of the Madman School.
Two figures, a man and a woman, dressed in grey robes, slowly walked out of the gate of the academy called "Shining Platinum".
"I've asked Vice Principal Sulaya, and the Madman School has not found any abnormalities in the war zone or even the occupied area..."
Noah looked serious and sighed.
He used to look like a little boy, but now he is 20 years old and has entered young adulthood, but his appearance has not changed much. He still has a baby face, wears round-frame glasses and has a petite figure.
The priests of the Dawn Church wore loose gray robes that even dragged on the ground a little.
Perhaps the biggest difference from before is that Noah's eyes carry more maturity and thought.
"Something is wrong, Noah. This is the third time a White Cat missionary has disappeared this month... Ryan and Lika disappeared here, and now Cone is missing while preaching in Dibei County. I suspect someone is targeting us behind the scenes."
Maggie had three braids, two smaller ones on either side of her temples and one larger one hanging down the back of her head.
She wore light makeup and a close-fitting Dawn Nun's uniform, giving off a sense of beauty that was both holy and energetic.
"Who do you think it might be, then? Miss Maggie."
Noah adjusted his glasses and asked in a low voice.
"It's definitely related to the 'Earthly Secret Religion'!"
Maggie said firmly.
"Ever since we began to lead believers to the fairyland, the people of this secret cult have had many conflicts with us... What they want is not territory, but faith!"
"If it's really them, it's really troublesome."
Noah said in a deep voice.
"In five years, the 'Midnightly Secret Cult' has grown from a small organization to the current behemoth. Not only does it worship a group of ancient gods, but the number of high-ranking members of the cult has also surpassed any other orthodox church in the past... With our current strength, it may be dangerous to continue investigating."
He said, and sighed again.
"Mage Carmen was recently promoted to a demigod without any major problems. Anton has also been making steady progress and is about to completely master the 'Sacrilegious Sword' in his body. By then, he will definitely have demigod-level combat power. Pope Floy, with the guidance of Lady Silence, has reached the threshold of demigodhood long ago... But I am still stuck at Sequence 5 and have not been able to advance to a higher position. This is very disappointing to Mr. Jack."
"I am the same! Don't lose heart, Noah!"
Maggie consoled him with a playful laugh.
"Master Carmen had accumulated hundreds of years of experience before joining us, so it was natural for him to be promoted to a demigod. Don't compare him to Anton, who was born as a supernatural being and did not have the harsh conditions we had to grow up under... As for Pope Floy, those , were hunted down by Lady Silence and all turned into mysterious substances that were consumed by him. How could his accumulation not be fast?"
"Ms. Maggie, you are lacking in subsequent mythological knowledge, so... and I am really useless."
Noah was a little frustrated.

Southeast of Dibei County.
The battle area between Byron and Trisur.
The Polaris team is resting in an abandoned manor.
As the captain, Polaris now had the [LV170] mark on his head, which was the pinnacle of Sequence Five [Juggler]. However, he had already reached the maximum level two years ago.
Even though it is version 3.2 and the player level cap has been raised to level 230, the threshold of the Saint Ceremony still blocks the promotion path for the first-tier players.
So far, there has not been even a single Saint-level player.
Without exception, everyone in the Polaris team reached the "maximum level" of 170 and could not make any further progress.
Although the team's advanced players finally caught up with Brother Beizi's progress, they were not very happy.
The experience points stored on the panel increase day by day.
But it seemed to have lost any effect.
Even someone like Polaris, whose experience points accumulated in the past two years were more than enough for him to reach level 200 in one go, was unable to break through Sequence Five.
There is a joke in the player circle.
That is, Sequence 5 is most likely the upper limit of the game.
Because the difficulty of the saint's promotion ceremony is extremely high.
Let’s not talk about the difficulty of obtaining mythological knowledge and high-level materials, and just talk about the “anchor point”.
5 points of epic singing degree requirement!
A total of 150 points of regional fame!
This is an astronomical figure for players!
Even if you complete an S-level mission and get a reward of 10 points of regional fame, it can be said to be a great luck.
However, according to this standard, it would take a total of 15 S-level tasks to complete in order to trigger the Saint Promotion Task...
Not to mention the illusory mythological knowledge and the extremely rare high-level substances.
It's totally unreasonable!
Players have made suggestions to the authorities more than once, demanding changes to the promotion rules. At first they were making a fuss, but when they saw that it didn't work, they turned to begging. The "blood letter of tens of thousands of people" was staged several times, crying and asking the authorities to lower the difficulty.
However, nothing worked.
The authorities have not responded from beginning to end.
Here is something that makes players even more angry.
That is, starting from version 3.0, all the players who chose the Empire camp at the time have not yet unlocked the main quest "The King of Cang Yi".
At the top of the task panel, the grey task description is like a thorn in the throat, causing many players to suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder, but they have no way to solve it.
The King of Cang Yi has been dead for more than five years!
This damn main quest hasn’t been completed yet!
Therefore, this event is also called by countless players——
"Forever version 3.0".
It's both a joke and self-deprecation.
Of course, there is also the complex feeling of love and hate for "Jack Speight".
What’s good is that He killed the Sun King with his own hands, throwing the world into chaos. The speed at which players upgrade has greatly increased, and the playability has also been greatly improved.
What I hate is, of course, that he caused a bug in the game again.
Some aspects of the gaming experience are extremely poor.
"Alas, more than five years have passed in the game. We have been playing for so long without realizing it..."
Goutoujin leaned back in a worn wooden chair, drinking the coffee he had brought with him, and said with emotion.
The Dragon King and the centaurs moved a few round tables over so that everyone could sit together and chat.
"In reality, it's about a year. It's a long time indeed."
Su Keying nodded in agreement.
"Who would have thought that the war of the century has been going on for five years and still hasn't ended... No one knows when it will end."
"Without the circus, we are like wandering ghosts, running around every day. To be honest, I am a little fed up..."
Weiyin sat next to Su Keying, playing with the cup with a bitter face.
"My Jack..."
Dongyang saw that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, so he changed the topic:
"Recently, the crime rate in the entire federation has increased. Not only the three major guilds, but also many players have discovered the secret that the extraordinary can bring to reality... Our bodies in reality have inherited the level of Sequence 8. Sooner or later, we will be able to synchronize with the data in the game. If we can be promoted to a high position, then won’t we be true legends by then?"
"You've said this countless times, Dongyang. I'm tired of hearing it."
The ending sound is pursed.
"I don't care whether I can become a legend or not, I just want my Jack!"
Dongyang raised his eyebrows and sighed helplessly.
Everyone chatted for a while and then turned their eyes to the silent North Star.
He seemed to be thinking about something, in a daze and without saying a word.
"Brother Beizi, don't worry. The S-level mission that was triggered yesterday was really too difficult. If it really doesn't work, just forget it."
Pumpkin whispered soothingly.
Polaris came back to his senses and shook his head.
"After many hardships in the past few years, my regional reputation has finally accumulated to 142 points. I only need this S-level mission to meet the requirements for triggering the Saint Promotion Mission... You all know how rare this level of mission is. If you miss it, I really don't know how long you will have to wait."
He took a sip of hot tea and sighed.
Although he had been trapped in Sequence 5 for more than two years, he had not failed to work hard. A year ago, he had completed an S-level mission and successfully obtained a high-level destiny material.
Half a year ago, by chance, he obtained the mythological knowledge of Sequence Four [Clown] from a relic somewhere in the spirit world.
Now, the only thing missing is the popularity requirement.
This has almost become his obsession.
It wasn't the honor of being "the first saint player in the server" that pushed him forward, but Polaris never gave up, and the teacher had been gone for so long that everyone said he was dead.
Even everyone in the Polaris team accepted this fact.
But he didn't.
He believed that when he became a mythical creature, he would be able to see more secrets, and perhaps he would be qualified to enter the wonderland and confirm with the former circus cadres what the teacher's condition was.
"But this S-rank mission 'Rescue the White Cat Missionaries' looks simple, but it's actually extremely difficult... Dragon King and Keying have investigated very clearly that it was the 'Ancient Reader Team' of the History and Ritual Association that was secretly capturing those white cats, and the leader of the team was an incarnation of a high-ranking being. We can't be their opponent."
Chen Xi said depressedly.
Polaris glanced at his companions and said softly:
"I found out some things privately... Those 'White Cat Missionaries' actually came from an organization called the 'Dawn Church'."
"'Dawn Church'? Is it a force similar to the 'Midnightly Esoteric Cult'? New forces have emerged one after another in recent years."
Chenxi was a little surprised.
"So the History and Ritual Association has a grudge against the Dawn Church, so you plan to use this as a key to breaking the deadlock?"
"No, what I want to say is... this Dawn Church is actually a circus."
Polaris has deep eyes.
“?!”
Everyone showed surprised expressions.
Bang!
Weiyin slammed the table and stood up, his face full of anger.
"We have to do this S-rank mission! That stupid Historical Association was beaten and fled by Jack during the battle in the spirit world. Now they must be taking advantage of Jack's absence to take revenge... No, I want to help the Dawn Church. What do you say?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"What else can I say? I'll definitely help!"
Goutoujin had a look of course on his face.
"After all, we are the 'old boss'. Although we are homeless now, anyone who wants to deal with our circus must be taught a lesson."
"By the way, how do you know all this, Abei?"
Dongyang asked doubtfully.
Polaris did not answer, but just casually swiped and threw a screenshot into the chat channel.
Everyone looked over and their eyes widened.
In the picture, two men and women dressed in the attire of clergy of the Church of Dawn are leaving from one side of the street.
Although the distance was far, it was obvious from the side profile that it was the former circus cadre "Bloody Painter" Noah, and "Disease Doctor" Maggie!
"Since everyone has no objection, I will use Cloud Leap to go find them together."
Polaris took a deep breath and stood up.
"This will help with the S-level mission, and we can also take the opportunity to learn more about the 'Church of Dawn'. Maybe we can find the organization again!"
