At the Tarot meeting.
"The Hermit" Odis continued, "The reason why this information is on the 'Black Throne' is that during the 'War of the Four Emperors,' the 'Black Emperor' Solomon realized that he needed to leave himself a way out, so he built this large 'ghost ship.'"
"It is said that the ship's destination is the Western Continent. As we have mentioned before, the Solomon Empire is a common enemy of the Tudor Empire and the Terensust Empire, and it has little hope in the struggle on the Northern Continent."
"But this ship did not bring hope or continuation to the empire, because they never found the Western Continent."
Even Gadalia asked with some curiosity, "Does the Western Continent really exist?"
Odis smiled and said, "I believe it exists."
The priestess, Cattleya, pressed further: "Is there any evidence or clue?"
"No." Odis shrugged. "I just have this feeling… well, or rather, many important figures believe that the Western Continent exists, so there must be some truth to this claim."
Cattleya paused for a moment, then slowly nodded, seemingly dissatisfied with this "evidence."
Then "Sun" Derrick asked curiously, "'Hermit', before the 'Cataclysm,' did the southern and northern continents you mentioned have frequent contact with the eastern continent of the 'Forsaken Lands' via the ocean?"
"It wasn't just by the sea," Odis said. "I've heard that in ancient times, there were also teleportation arrays as a means of transportation between continents."
"This mode of transportation is faster and more convenient."
Behind the gray fog, "The Fool" Klein sighed: "It feels like each era is worse than the last. By the fifth era, most extraordinary beings haven't even heard of teleportation arrays. Traveling by boat from the northern continent to the southern continent takes half a month, and to the southern part of the southern continent takes one or two months. Taking an airship would be a bit faster."
The "magician" Fors wondered: If most people used teleportation arrays to travel, would people at that time have lost the concept of "continent"? Would they have the illusion that everyone lived on a single continent?
Seeing the expressions on the other members' faces, Odis thought to himself: This is a sign of a serious lack of geographical knowledge. If they knew about the seven continents and five oceans when they were teenagers, they wouldn't have such feelings.
Seeing that no one had any new questions, he continued, "After finding these materials, Emperor Roselle became enthusiastic about searching for other continents."
"When he first set sail, he wasn't actually looking for the Southern Continent, but rather the Western Continent."
Klein thought to himself: Although this is not mentioned in the diary, or rather, I have not yet seen the relevant diary, Roselle's first voyage was indeed to the Misty Sea to the west of the Northern Continent.
The other members were only slightly taken aback, but then felt that this was not surprising, because it was almost certain that the Southern Continent existed, and there had always been legends about the "Land Forsaken by the Gods" in the Extraordinary Realm.
Everyone felt unfamiliar with the Western Continent.
Alger the Hanged Man thought to himself: If I had a ghost ship like the Black Throne, and enough funds and manpower, I would definitely try to find the Western Continent.
"At that time, Emperor Roselle was still relatively young, and few historians recorded his voyage," Odis said. "However, some traces of this voyage have been left in some notes and other documents. It is said that the emperor even found the 'Abyss' in the depths of the Misty Sea."
He paused again, and the other members were taken aback. Gadriya was the first to react: "Does it refer to the 'Abyss' related to the 'Demon' pathway?"
Odis smiled and said, "This is your third question."
Without hesitation, Cattleya replied, "I can pay an extra 300 pounds."
Actually, she regretted it a little after her private conversation with Odis just ended.
I originally just wanted to listen in briefly, but it seems there's some very important information involved in this deal.
Cattleya only paid £300, which meant she could only ask one question, which was probably far from enough.
"Alright," Odis replied, "Yes, it's that 'abyss'."
Audrey then asked, "'Hermit', what does the 'Abyss' of the 'Demon' pathway represent?"
"It is said that Sequence 0 of the 'Demon' pathway is called 'Abyss'," Odis replied.
Alger and Omlin were both taken aback. They roughly knew that "demons" and "abyss" were related, but they did not know that the sequence 0 of this pathway was actually called "abyss".
Audrey and Fors were initially surprised, then delighted, to learn the name of another sequence, number 0.
Odis went on to explain: "'The Abyss' is pure malice, a manifestation of this world, and is said to be the demon's favorite place."
"But it doesn't represent an abstract concept like the authority of the 'Demon' pathway. It's more like the connection between the 'Moon' pathway and the 'Crimson Moon'."
This knowledge was somewhat advanced, and Audrey and Fors only roughly understood it, nodding slowly.
Klein, behind the gray fog, thought to himself: According to Roselle, the "Abyss" has changed, and even demons can no longer survive there.
Then he thought of another question: "Crimson Moon" should represent the "Moon" pathway, so why does "Goddess of the Night" have a description related to "Crimson Moon"?
However, he only thought about this question briefly before he heard the "Hermit" continue: "Besides encountering the 'Abyss,' Emperor Roselle also encountered Mr. 'Door' during this voyage."
Many members sat up straight immediately, and Alger asked, "Is it Mr. Door, who was sealed away by the 'Lord of Storms' and the 'Goddess of Night'?"
Odis nodded: "Yes, it is Him."
Emlyn, the "Moon," followed up with, "Was He sealed in the Sea of Mist?"
"It's not necessarily the Sea of Mist," Odis said. "Although I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, I estimate that Mr. 'Door' must have contacted the Emperor through some mystical means."
"After all, many people have ventured deep into the Misty Sea, but not everyone has encountered Mr. 'Door,' so it probably has nothing to do with location."
At this point, Cattleya said, "I'll pay an extra 300 pounds."
Then she asked, "How did you know these things?"
Cattleya had never heard the "Queen" mention this matter, and it was almost certain that the "Queen" was unaware of it.
This is very strange. How could the "hermit," as an "outsider," know more than the "queen"?
Odis was prepared for this question: "I have obtained some secret documents left by the Emperor, and the contents of those documents are very rich."
"What was most helpful to me were two fighting techniques I had never seen before, and the mysterious events that the Emperor mentioned about himself."
"In addition, perhaps due to the effect of certain 'extraordinary laws,' after becoming a 'secret seeker,' I often obtained some secret information left behind by the emperor."
Cattleya wanted to say: Why didn't I ever get it?
But after a slight hesitation, she felt it was an inefficient question, so she didn't continue asking.
No one else doubted this claim, since it was a matter of mystery and was difficult to explain.
Klein was also convinced of this, because he had just learned that Russell had later jumped to the adjacent pathway and become the "Knowledge Emperor," which was Sequence 1 of the "Hidden Man" pathway.
Thinking of this, Klein manipulated "The World" to ask, "Then, has Rosell been corrupted by Mr. 'The Door'?"
Reminded by this, the three ladies among the other members who had traded information with "Mr. Door" remembered that "Mr. Door" was sealed away because he had been subjected to high-level corruption!
So everyone looked at the "hermit".
Odis replied, "He has been corrupted to some extent and has gone mad as a result."
"However, at the beginning, the emperor did not realize this. By the time he did, it was too late."
Klein first thought to himself: As expected!
After learning that Mr. "Men" had been contaminated by an unknown source, he had this suspicion, and today it has finally been confirmed.
Klein took a deep breath: So, some of Russell's subsequent adventurous behavior was related to Mr. "The Door"?
While curious, he looked forward to seeing more of the diary entries describing his communication with Mr. "Door".
"Justice" Audrey never expected things to turn out like this: How terrible! Even the Emperor has been corrupted!
Then she had another question: What kind of pollution was it? Was it the kind of pollution that the "hermit" had mentioned before, the kind that even the gods couldn't solve?
Alger, the "Hanged Man," then pondered another question: "I've heard that the assassination attempt on Emperor Roselle by the Soron family and other nobles was supported by the Church of the God of Steam and Machines and the Church of the Eternal Sun. Could it be that the churches knew the Emperor had been corrupted, and therefore supported those nobles in assassinating him?"
"The Magician" Fors felt it was a great pity: if the emperor had not been corrupted, his legendary life could have continued for at least another thirty years.
Cattleya was stunned for a second or two before accepting the fact.
She then remarked, "The Hermit was right; these things are indeed not suitable for the Queen to know."
"The Hermit" Odis gave everyone ample time to react before saying, "'The Gate's' corruption of Emperor Roselle initially only had some impact on Emperor Roselle."
"These effects seem to have only become apparent after the Emperor became an angel."
Taking advantage of the pause in the "Hermit's" speech, Audrey quickly asked, "How did the Emperor become an angel?"
The other members also looked at Odis, sharing the same question.
For a long time, everyone has thought of the Emperor as a thinker and an outstanding leader, but few people know that he was also a highly extraordinary being.
Klein wondered: What did Roselle see after becoming an angel? It made him believe that even after becoming Sequence 1, he would still be unable to solve the problems he encountered.
Odis replied, "At that time, Emperor Roselle's interests were deeply intertwined with those of the Steam Church, so as Roselle gradually achieved more success, he became an angel of the Steam Church step by step."
"As I mentioned in a previous transaction, the 'God of Steam and Machinery' was forced to advance prematurely during the Fourth Age due to pressure from the 'Hidden Sage'. His Sequence 1 potion had not been fully digested, so his condition had been very poor."
The other members nodded, vaguely remembering that such a thing had indeed happened.
"Because Rosell is a member of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, the revolution he launched and the changes he brought to the world allowed the 'God of Steam and Machinery' to fully digest the potion and become even better," Odis said. "This also gave Rosell the opportunity to be promoted to angel."
Klein, behind the gray fog, thought to himself: So that's how it is.
He was somewhat surprised when he learned from his diary that Rosell had become an angel.
Because each church currently has no more than three angels, and after the gods went to the astral plane and the wars between gods ceased on earth, angels have almost infinite lifespans, making it theoretically very difficult to become an angel through the church.
If it's about helping the church's divine state improve, then such an opportunity is indeed possible.
The other members were marveling at the changes Russell had brought to the Extraordinary World, changes they hadn't considered before.
Emlyn, the "Moon," thought to himself: I thought the main intelligence in today's transaction would be about the Emperor's revolution and the wars with various countries. Unexpectedly, the "Hermit" barely mentioned these issues; the intelligence he provided was entirely about the Emperor's extraordinary achievements.
Emlyn originally wanted to discuss with "The Hermit" the Emperor's performance in some battles to prove that he was also familiar with this history, and then explain to the other members that the vampires had witnessed Roselle's legendary life.
He didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to get a word in edgewise.
Seeing that everyone had no questions, Odis continued, "After Roselle became consul, he deeply felt the constraints imposed by the Church."
"Only national policies that are in the interests of the church can be implemented, while national policies that harm the interests of the church are often difficult to get approved by parliament."
"Or rather, this is the Steam Church recouping its political investment in Roselle..."
Klein thought to himself: This is also reflected in Roselle's diary. After he became consul, his relationship with the Steam Church seemed to gradually become less harmonious. And in the diary I saw today, Roselle's youngest son, Bonova, is gradually losing his humanity because of his faith in the God of Steam. This may also be a threat from the Church, or a warning to Roselle.
Then he thought: Russell must have been quite helpless at the time. After all, the problem of theocracy had long since disappeared at "Tokyo University." The struggle for interests was a bit fierce, but no matter how fierce the struggle for interests was, it was possible to physically eliminate the opponent.
When facing the church and deities, many "ready-made experiences" cannot be used. After all, in a world where real deities exist, it is difficult to overthrow the authority of the church, and it is even more difficult to make deities disappear in a physical sense.
"Justice" Audrey thought to herself: I have the illusion that I am listening to a senior history professor give a lecture. The "hermit" has explained some of the contradictions behind history in just a few words.
Other members also felt that this narrative was refreshing.
"…During that period, Roselle not only encountered political difficulties," Odis said, "but also some problems in extraordinary matters."
"Or rather, these two questions are actually one question."
"Faced with the Steam Church's demands for political rewards, Roselle quickly came up with a solution: to continue his promotion."
"Here I want to mention some information I obtained through another channel: Roselle joined an organization called the 'Twilight Hermits' a long time ago."
Apart from Klein, the other members all seemed somewhat bewildered, having never heard of such an organization before.
Klein was also somewhat surprised: how did the "Hermit" know about the "Twilight Hermit Society"?
He had only seen the organization in Russell's diary, and he knew very well that the organization's name could not be spoken of to outsiders, nor could it be written down in any words.
He didn't know the specific reason either. In short, the organization was very mysterious, and its members even included Hermes, the inventor of the ancient Hermes language, who was a true legendary figure.
In reality, Klein only encountered people who resembled this organization when he was playing Admiral Emilius; otherwise, he had never heard anyone mention this organization.
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it," Odis smiled. "This organization has always been very mysterious, and even if you have heard of it, you may not remember it."
"Because this organization is suspected to have been founded by Adam."
Klein was initially surprised, but then he understood: no wonder Russell was unwilling to write the name "Twilight Hermits" in Chinese characters; it turned out that Adam would know about it if it were mentioned in reality.
The other members were also somewhat surprised, but then they all understood: no wonder the "Hermit" said that "even if you have heard of this organization, you may not be able to remember it." They thought of the "King of the Black Seat" in the "King of Pirates".
When the "Hanged Man" was telling the story of the four "pirate kings," he didn't even realize that he had only told the story of three "kings" if it weren't for the "Hermit's" reminder.
"The Sun," Derrick, who had always been interested in Adam and Amon, asked, "'The Hermit,' what kind of organization is this?"
"I'm not entirely sure myself," Odis replied. "But since it's an organization founded by Adam, I believe that its key members are all from the 'spectator' pathway."
Audrey paused for a moment and asked, "'The Hermit,' are the 'Twilight Hermit Society' and the 'Psychological Alchemy Society' rival organizations?"
After all, both organizations primarily consist of Extraordinary individuals who utilize the "spectator" pathway. Generally speaking, two Extraordinary individuals' organizations using the same pathway are usually rivals vying for Extraordinary resources.
"At the moment, there isn't much conflict between the two," Odis explained. "Because they are not organizations on the same level. The convener of the 'Twilight Hermits' is an Angel King, and its members should include angels…"
Klein thought to himself: It's not that it should be, there really is an angel, and that angel is none other than the famous Hermes!
"...and the higher-ups of the 'Psychological Alchemy Society' are most likely only demigods, not angels," Odis said. "Moreover, I've heard that the 'Psychological Alchemy Society' was originally just an academic organization with mystical elements."
"After finding the relics left by an angel of the 'Audience' pathway and obtaining many extraordinary resources, they officially formed the Extraordinary Organization."
He paused briefly before continuing, "Some speculate that the creation of this organization may have been an extraordinary investment by an 'audience' pathway angel, or even an extraordinary investment by the 'Twilight Hermits'."
The other members were stunned when they heard this, and even Klein was unaware of such a thing.
After a brief moment of surprise, Audrey pressed on, "So, the 'Psychological Alchemy Society' was likely formed at Adam's behest?"
Odis replied, "I don't know."
He said seriously, "You shouldn't conduct any investigation in this area either."
Audrey understood, of course, that one shouldn't be too curious about many things, because mere curiosity is a dangerous thing to do.
She quickly composed herself and smiled, saying, "Thank you for reminding me, but I won't investigate."
"Furthermore," Odis added, "everyone should refrain from mentioning the name 'The Twilight Hermits' in public."
Gadriya was somewhat surprised: "Just by mentioning this name, Adam will know?"
When they traded information about Adam before, Cattleya hadn't joined the Tarot Club yet, so she wasn't fully aware of how terrifying Adam was, which is why she had such questions.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
"Yes," Odis replied simply.
Cattleya frowned, but did not ask any further questions.
Seeing that no one had any new questions, Odis continued, "According to information I obtained from another source, Emperor Roselle obtained clues about the Sequence 1 characteristic of the 'Secret Seeker' pathway at the 'Twilight Hermit Society'."
"We all know that there would be no Sequence 1 if a true God existed."
"Therefore, the Emperor could only advance to Sequence 2 using the resources of the Steam Church. If he wanted to continue advancing, he could only switch to an adjacent pathway."
"After some effort, Roselle acquired that characteristic and successfully advanced to Sequence 1 of the 'Secret Seeker' pathway."
This news surprised everyone, yet it also seemed to make sense.
The problem remains: only after his promotion will Emperor Roselle have more say in dealing with issues concerning the Steam Church.
However, once you reach the level of an angel, advancement becomes extremely difficult; it's not something you can simply do if you want to.
Odis continued, "Another concern of the Emperor seems to be about the 'end of the world'."
Everyone was stunned. They had discussed this issue before, with many claiming that the end of the world was coming. The "Hermit" had even proposed a conjecture that the so-called end of the world might be the beginning of the Sixth Era.
The other members didn't quite understand what there was to worry about.
"After Roselle ascended to the 'Emperor of Knowledge,' he must have seen some visions of the apocalypse," Odis explained. "The Sequence 3 of the 'Spy' pathway is called 'Master of Prophecy,' which allows one to make some predictions about the future."
"Sequence 3 and above all have the ability to 'predict'."
"Once we reach Sequence 1, we might be able to see some clearer images of the future, right?"
"Each transition of era is accompanied by immense disaster. The Emperor may have realized that even becoming Sequence 1 wouldn't be enough to protect his family or his country!"
Fors couldn't help but ask, "'The Hermit,' is that really the case? In this transition of eras, even angels can't protect those around them?"
"I don't know," Odis laughed self-deprecatingly. "I'm not even a demigod now, so I can't possibly make any 'prophecies'."
"However, I think this transition of eras will be very brutal, and many people will die."
"Otherwise, the Emperor wouldn't have been able to take the next steps."
Seeing that Fors had no other questions, he continued, "Perhaps it was out of concern for the future, or perhaps he learned some astonishing news from somewhere, but shortly after Roselle became Sequence 1, he began a crazy plan: to become a god."
Everyone was stunned. Whether it was the "General Knowledge" path or the "Secret Seeker" path, it seemed that gods already existed. How could the Great Emperor become a god?
Immediately, Cattleya had a bad feeling.
Before anyone else could ask a question, Odis continued, "As you may have guessed, with the 'God of Steam and Machinery' and the 'Hidden Sage' around, the Emperor can only become a god by taking a non-adjacent path."
The other members, who already had some suspicions, still gasped when they heard this!
Emperor Roselle jumped onto a non-adjacent path!
Everyone suddenly realized what the "priestess" meant by asking the "fool" about "madness in old age."
While feeling deeply regretful, Audrey recalled the "Blood Emperor": no wonder Emperor Roselle went mad, it turned out he had jumped onto a non-adjacent path.
Cattleya lowered her head, finding it hard to accept this reality.
Alger then recalled the Fool's answer: No wonder Mr. Fool said, "Russell turned his attention to sequence 0, a process that drove him mad."
It turns out that it was because it jumped to a non-adjacent path and became the true god of a non-adjacent path.
Klein, emerging from the gray fog, breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, I had read quite a bit of Roselle's diary and had a relatively clear understanding of his current state. If my answer had been even slightly off-topic, I would have been betrayed by the "Hermit."
At the same time, he realized that he must be careful when answering questions in the future, as both the "Hermit" and the "Priestess" were very knowledgeable members.
Fors could hardly believe her ears. She had never imagined that Emperor Roselle would do something so crazy, which made her worry: Was the end of the world really that terrible?
Emlyn, after his initial surprise, thought to himself: "Is the person the 'Hermit' is talking about really the well-known Emperor Roselle?"
Only "The Sun" Derrick remained calm. In his view, if conditions allowed, jumping to a non-adjacent path to become a true god was not out of the question; at least that would give him the ability to save the Silver City.
Odis gave everyone some time to react, and was about to continue when "Justice" Audrey, having regained her composure, asked, "'The Hermit,' Emperor Roselle jumped down that path...did he eventually become a god?"
"The 'Black Emperor' route," Odis replied. "Here I'll reiterate some information we previously traded regarding the Fourth Age."
"During the era of the 'War of the Four Emperors,' after the 'Blood Emperor' and the 'Night Emperor' joined forces to cause the 'Black Emperor's' downfall, when they divided the spoils, the 'Black Emperor's' unique path and Sequence 1 characteristics were most likely to be obtained by the 'Night Emperor'."
"As for 'Blood Emperor' Tudor, he obtained two Sequence 1 traits."
"After the fall of the Thodol Empire, Adam should have received those two Sequence 1 properties."
"After the fall of the Terensost Empire, Adam, through some unknown means or method, obtained the uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor' pathway, as well as another Sequence 1 characteristic."
"In short, Adam possesses the uniqueness of the Black Emperor pathway and three Sequence 1 properties."
"With His support, Roselle was able to complete his plan to jump to non-adjacent paths relatively easily."
Alger recalled that when he was discussing intelligence about the Second Roman Empire at the exchange, the "Hermit" had mentioned that a new "Black Emperor" had appeared in the Fifth Era. He never expected that this Black Emperor would be Emperor Roselle!
Klein, behind the gray fog, first thought: Why would Adam support Russell so much?
Then he immediately realized that Adam must have had his own agenda, or he must have made some kind of deal with Russell, otherwise he wouldn't have helped to this extent.
Audrey had the same question, and she simply asked it aloud: "'The Hermit,' why did Adam do this? I mean, why did He help Emperor Roselle so much?"
"Adam must have had a purpose," Odis said. "And it must have been a very important purpose, otherwise he wouldn't have used the uniqueness of a path and the three Sequence 1 properties as an investment."
Audrey noticed the Hermit's confident gaze. She quickly deciphered his body language and eyes, and asked, "Mr. Hermit, you already have some guesses about Adam's purpose, don't you?"
Klein, sitting at the head of the bronze table, almost stood up and applauded: "That's an excellent question!"
Odis paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "Yes."
"There aren't many issues that Adam at his level would care about. I've thought about it, and perhaps only becoming a god could make Him take such a big gamble."
"I think Adam's support for Roselle is related to His incarnation ceremony. I don't know the specifics of the ceremony, but I think it's a logical guess."
The other members took a deep breath, marveling at how audacious the "hermit" guess was, yet also finding it quite reasonable.
For someone who was the "King of Angels" in the Third Age, becoming a god was probably the only thing that interested him.
Aside from being somewhat shocked, no one had any doubts.
Immediately, everyone began to speculate about what the ritual of becoming a god through the "audience" route was, but such a profound question had few clues, so everyone just made some wild guesses and then gave up one after another.
Meanwhile, Gadriya, having been so deeply shaken by the day, was only now catching up with everyone's train of thought.
She smiled helplessly: I never expected there to be such a high-level plan behind this.
Odis continued in response to the question Audrey had raised earlier: "Based on some indications, Emperor Roselle ultimately became a god of non-adjacent paths."
"That's why he went insane in his later years."
He paused briefly and then said, "Russell did this partly out of concern for the end times, believing that only becoming a god would be a way out."
"His decision to jump to non-adjacent paths may also have been influenced by Mr. 'Door,' because he first heard about some of the characteristics of the 'Black Emperor' from Mr. 'Door.'"
Klein immediately recalled: Mr. "Door" had indeed spoken with Russell about the possibility of the "Black Emperor" being resurrected.
"However, the main reason should be that Rosell hopes to use some of the 'Black Emperor's' characteristics to achieve his own goals," Odis continued.
"We've talked about some information about the 'Black Emperor' Solomon before, including that the 'Black Emperor' has the ability to resurrect."
"Or rather, it can be seen as the true god of this path, distorting 'death'."
"I roughly guess that the Emperor probably hoped to use this characteristic of the 'Black Emperor' to 'wash away' the extra extraordinary characteristics in his body."
The other members were taken aback, not quite understanding what the hermit meant, so they all looked at the "hermit".
Odis paused briefly before explaining, "First, we need to understand one thing: the reason why jumping to non-adjacent paths leads to madness is because there is a great conflict in the extraordinary characteristics within the body."
"For example, in the case of the Great Emperor, after he became a god, he had the characteristics of three pathways: 'Generalist,' 'Secret Seeker,' and 'Black Emperor.' These characteristics were twisted together, which naturally caused him to have a mental breakdown and then go insane."
"If we remove all the characteristics other than 'Black Emperor,' theoretically, there would be no conflict among the characteristics within him, and he would then regain his sanity..."
Gadriya couldn't help but ask, "Then why..."
She took a deep breath, composed herself, and then asked, "Then why was the Great Emperor still insane when he fell?"
Odis replied, "I'll talk about that later. Let's continue with the line of thought we just came up with."
"Emperor Roselle reached the level of a true god in his later years. Although he was somewhat insane, he was still a true god. I don't believe that the declining Soren family and the nobles of Intis have the strength to kill a true god."
Upon hearing this, Alger and the others shifted their posture nervously. They had already guessed the answer to the question, but the more they did so, the more they anticipated the "Hermit" to reveal it.
Odis glanced around before continuing, "The assassination of Emperor Roselle was probably part of his plan."
"He hoped to use the characteristics of the 'Black Emperor's' resurrection to remove the characteristics of the 'Black Emperor' from his own body, which led to that assassination that shocked the world."
"Moreover, Roselle had clearly also taken the Steam Church and the Eternal Sun Church into account. It was with the help of these two churches that the nobles of Intis were able to carry out this assassination."
Klein couldn't help but exclaim: "That's a brilliant move! It really does seem like something Rosell would come up with."
Although the other members had already guessed the answer, they were still shocked by this operation.
At this moment, Audrey asked curiously, "'The Hermit', if Emperor Roselle needed to be resurrected to complete his plan, why didn't he commit suicide?"
Everyone was stunned. Yes, suicide is so convenient!
Odis smiled and replied, "In my personal opinion, it would be very difficult for a god to commit suicide."
"Because once you become a demigod, you will possess divinity within you. It is said that at the level of a god, divinity occupies a very important part of the god's personality."
"I suspect that divinity may not allow itself to die, so it would prevent the gods from committing suicide. Thus, the emperor could only use murder to complete his plan."
Cattleya couldn't help but ask again, "Then why did the Emperor's plan fail?"
The plan sounds crazy, but it is quite feasible. However, the fact is that the emperor did not complete the resurrection process.
Otherwise, modern history would not be what it is today.
"Don't rush, we're almost there," Odis said. "Let's get back to Mr. 'Men's' corruption of Emperor Roselle."
"The Great Emperor should have noticed this pollution after he became the 'Knowledge Emperor'."
"He also hopes to use the 'Black Emperor's' ability to resurrect to remove the pollution from his body."
"But the problem is, I learned from other sources that the level of pollution is very high, and the fact that the 'Black Emperor' can be resurrected means that this level of pollution cannot be removed."
"Therefore, the Emperor's plan had to be terminated at the last step."
Klein took a deep breath: So, it's not that there's no resurrection, but that it's impossible to resurrect, because resurrection would result in a deeper level of contamination.
He couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. 'Gate' has really done a lot of harm!"
Others shared similar sentiments, feeling that Mr. "Men" was despicable, but then they thought that Mr. "Men" had also been corrupted, and for a moment, including Fors, they didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Cattleya asked, "Where is the Emperor now? What is his condition?"
"I don't know," Odis replied. "Since Emperor Roselle became the 'Black Emperor,' he hasn't left behind much useful information."
"However, we can speculate that the Emperor may still be able to be resurrected, but he himself stopped the resurrection process."
Cattleya realized once again that the Hermit was right not to tell the Queen these things. If she knew that the Emperor still had hope of being resurrected but couldn't help him, her condition would definitely worsen.
Odis said to everyone: "That concludes the details of this transaction. Does anyone have any further questions?"
Audrey asked, "Mr. 'The Hermit,' who corrupted Emperor Roselle, and who corrupted Mr. 'The Gate,' what kind of being is he?"
"This issue is not covered in this transaction," Odis said. "We can discuss it briefly another time."
