"If you really feel bad about it, just help me out when I'm snatching the Sequence 0 position from others in the future."
As soon as Lin Ruo said this, he saw Medici, who was sitting opposite him, reveal a smile filled with anger, fully demonstrating what it meant to be so angry that one laughed.
"So, should I thank you for that?"
Medici's voice was filled with gritted teeth.
"Uh…" Lin Ruo, who hadn't been flustered at all, suddenly felt a little guilty for some reason. He looked at Medici, who was clearly angry because he was planning to court death, and after thinking about it, said:
"That won't be necessary."
"Ha!" Medici was probably really angered, letting out a cold laugh from his throat.
"Cough…" Lin Ruo coughed, picked up his teacup, and took a sip of the somewhat cold black tea to calm himself down, before saying: "Medici, I'm not crazy."
"I need to advance to Sequence 0, and the Red Priest is not suitable for me, you know that too."
"So, it's inevitable that I'll switch pathways, and I'm not like you. Even if I change pathways, I won't go crazy."
"Are you sure?" Medici seemed to accept Lin Ruo's explanation, his expression calming down as he asked.
"I'm sure." Although he wasn't certain, Lin Ruo nodded without any hesitation. To increase his persuasiveness, he gave an example: "Just like when I jumped from Spectator to Hunter, didn't I… uh?"
Lin Ruo suddenly froze, because he thought of something.
Although he didn't know how he had done it, he had obviously used a method similar to re-rolling his character when he went from Spectator to Hunter.
And in the world of 'Lord of the Mysteries', it was indeed possible to re-roll, like that cross stained with the blood of the Ancient Sun God in the original book, which had the effect of turning Beyonders into ordinary people, and this seemed to be a power of the Sun domain.
It's just that, generally speaking, those who can use this method to re-roll are low-to-mid-sequence Beyonders. It's difficult for high-sequence Beyonders to do it, and even if they re-roll and expel the Beyonder characteristics from their bodies, the re-roller can't start over because of the potion's modification of the body, they can only be an ordinary person. So, normal Beyonders can't use this method to re-roll.
But that doesn't mean he can't!
Lin Ruo suddenly discovered a blind spot that he had previously overlooked, which was that, compared to methods like the Blood Emperor or Roselle, who forcibly jumped sequences by swallowing the potion in one gulp when they became gods, he might be able to try re-rolling again.
He was only Sequence 6 at the moment, and as long as there was a corresponding Sealed Artifact to expel the characteristics from his body, it really wouldn't be difficult. As for the potion's modification of the body, Lin Ruo felt that he might be able to talk to the Earth Mother.
If the Earth Mother was still Lilith, an ally of the Evernight Goddess, then he might be able to ask the Earth Mother for help. And with the authority that the Earth Mother possessed, helping him solve his body's problems shouldn't be a big deal.
After all, in the original book, those Moon City people who had become strangely shaped and even close to monsters due to chaotic characteristics could be cured by the Staff of Life. There was no reason why the Earth Mother's Church couldn't solve the problem of his body, which had only been modified by a Sequence 6 potion!
It was just a matter of paying the price.
And re-walking the sequence, for Lin Ruo, was actually just a matter of spending a little more time and re-leveling his character. Anyway, it only took Lin Ruo three months to go from Sequence 9 to Sequence 6. Even if it wasn't faster to do it again, Lin Ruo wasn't under any pressure at all—at worst, he would run through the historical projections a few more times, using the time difference between the historical projections and reality to quickly bring the character's level back up.
Moreover, ordinary people might worry about safety issues when starting over, after all, it would take time to climb back up again, and everyone would be afraid of dying halfway. But Lin Ruo was different. Not to mention the group of people he could bring in to protect himself, even now, Lin Ruo didn't usually use his Beyonder abilities, he usually used his special abilities.
Going from Sequence 6 back to an ordinary person could be said to have basically no impact on Lin Ruo.
Of course, this matter still had to be considered in the long term, such as determining the feasibility of the plan, and then determining the various advancement rituals for the Judge and Hermit pathways, ensuring that there would be no Pitfalls situations before making a choice.
As for the source of the subsequent potions, Lin Ruo was the least worried about that. He could start with MI9 for the Justiciar pathway. Anyway, they were destined to be enemies, and even with enough helpers, they could Package the characteristics from 9 to 1. He also knew the whereabouts of the Justiciar uniqueness. When the Evernight Goddess killed the God of Combat in the future, he could completely find a way to exchange for it.
The Church of the Evernight Goddess already possessed some of the Seer pathway's potion formulas, and it wouldn't be difficult to apply for them with his authority. If that didn't work, Bernadette always had some, it was just a matter of how to exchange for them. It was the Seer pathway's characteristics that were not so easy to obtain, especially the high-sequence characteristics. The whereabouts were not very clear, and the activated Secret Mentor was also a problem.
"With this comparison, perhaps it would be better for me to take the Justiciar pathway. Justiciar, Angel of Judgment… Tsk, is it possible that I foresaw this day when I gave myself this title?" Thinking about it, Lin Ruo felt that he was almost suffering from PTSD from his past self. He then looked at Medici and asked:
"Medici, how exactly did my title of Angel of Judgment come about?"
Medici was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that Lin Ruo's train of thought would jump to such an irrelevant topic when they were just discussing the heavy topic of switching pathways.
However, he seemed to be used to it, saying: "You chose it yourself. Your title and honorific name were both chosen by you. To be honest, they're terrible. I still don't understand why an angel of the Spectator pathway would choose such an honorific name. Does your honorific name have even the slightest connection to you from beginning to end?"
As he spoke, Medici's tone began to become sarcastic again.
That's not necessarily true, maybe it was chosen according to my special abilities… Lin Ruo complained in his heart, but the feeling of being arranged became stronger and stronger.
He then said: "I might not need to forcibly jump pathways like Tudor… I plan to try re-rolling."
"Re-rolling?" Medici repeated these words, seeming to understand their meaning, saying: "Like when you jumped from Spectator to Hunter?"
"Yeah." Lin Ruo nodded, and then said meaningfully: "After re-rolling, I might take the Justiciar pathway."
Medici was obviously not surprised by Lin Ruo's words, saying: "You plan to hunt down that Hand of Order from the Loen Royal Family?"
"I have this idea, but that's a matter for the future…" Lin Ruo didn't deny it, looking at Medici and saying: "Before hunting him, I will help you obtain the Conqueror characteristic."
"You?" Medici glanced at Lin Ruo, his smile a bit provocative, obviously not feeling that Lin Ruo, who could barely hunt Sequence 4s now, could be of any help.
"After all, I'm not like someone else, who doesn't have any friends." In response, Lin Ruo gave him a brilliant smile.
