Tribulation of Mysteries

Chapter 23:

"Since I am the Creator, my mysterious energy is the source of spirituality … I should be able to change the dream world, or in other words, interfere with reality."

With this thought in mind, Aaron entered the dream world.

He came to the interior of a building with familiarity. This was a place where only the core members of the church could gather. The high priest would occasionally impart knowledge here.

His luck was good today. The person on the podium was the high priest.

The bald, wrinkled old man with tattoos had black flames in his eyes. This was a sign that his spirituality had accumulated to a certain stage and was about to overflow.

He slowly opened his mouth and spoke in a low voice.

"Everyone here is at the initial stage of spirituality awakening. I will teach you how to resist illness, how to stay away from danger, how to gain power … and even, in the end, how to step onto the stairs filled with radiance and approach our god to attain immortality!"

The High Priest's smile grew even wider after he had roused the emotions of the disciples below. "Of course, with your current shallow spirituality, you can only come into contact with the simplest rituals. Remember, all rituals require the participation of spirituality. Therefore, those who are not true immortals need not try it, unless you want to consume your own life force as a substitute!"

The high priest casually picked up a branch. "Next, the ritual I will demonstrate has only one simple effect, and that is to find your way! It can help you find your way out as soon as possible if you encounter some dangerous species that are good at confusion, or if you fall into a mysterious fog, it can also lead you out! "

"The entire ritual is divided into the ceremony, the necessities, the prayers, the offerings, and so on … Note, we can only pray to the great Black Sun, the Lord of the Eclipse. There can be no mistakes in the ritual, or it will lead to terrible consequences …"

Aaron stood at the side and nodded from time to time as he listened.

It could be seen that, thanks to the tireless corruption or ravings of those great beings, the system of this world was rapidly expanding.

On the podium, the high priest continued, "The time of the ceremony can also be chosen. Our Lord likes to choose between dawn and dusk. The probability of success is highest when day and night alternates. However, do not try it at noon when the sun is the strongest. Last time, there was a member who unfortunately burned himself to a crisp …"

"When praying, don’t be ignorant of the subject, slur your words, or pause for too long. The Lord will feel offended..."

…

Aaron nodded. He already had some understanding of rituals. "This kind of mysterious ritual mainly uses one's own spirituality to pry open the mystery, communicate with the great beings in the unseen world, and pray for power … But, is Black Sun the kind of person who would treat his believers gently?"

He felt that the High Priest seemed to have only grasped a little of the Dao of Sacrifice, but was not proficient in it.

Perhaps what was communicated was just a little bit of Black Sun's radiance. The so-called ritual feedback was just a natural reaction of that bit of radiance, like a program.

"Otherwise, according to the Black Sun's insanity, those who communicate with him should all be lunatics!"

"Alright, the current situation is that I can't interfere with this world … But what if someone else took the initiative to communicate with me?"

"For example, a believer using his own spirituality to pry open the ceremony, and communicates with an unknown existence in the dark…"

Aaron thought for a moment, and was a little dejected. "Uh … Is there such a lunatic who would pray to the unknown?"

"And my wiring, or the range of my senses, is definitely not as good as the Black Sun … It's a little difficult to impersonate an evil god."

"If I were to design a ceremony for myself, what should my honorific name be? The Creator above his Creation? The Great Observer behind the scenes? Eh? Even if I designed the honorific name, I can't tell it to my believers … "

Aaron found that he had walked into a dead end.

To interfere with the world, he had to have believers — to have believers, he had to formulate a ceremony and a honorific name — to send the honorific name into the ears of his believers, he had to first interfere with the world!

"This is a f*cking dead end!"

Aaron complained. "I'd better continue to be a transparent spectator … Who knows, maybe I'll bump into some idiot or lunatic who uses a ceremony that points to an unknown direction, and I'll just happen to sense it!"

On the stage, the high priest had finished his lecture for the day.

He looked at the many Immortals below, his eyes filled with well-concealed desire and greed.

It was only then that Aaron realized that Xiu was also mixed in with the Immortals. She had obviously completed the first stage of the ceremony, and had successfully awakened her own spirituality.

"This woman is quite talented on the path of the Immortals."

A certain incompetent guy couldn't help but complain with jealousy.

He followed Xiu all the way back to the small house where she lived with her two children.

At this time, there were no longer any watchers outside the house. It seemed that they had been completely accepted by the Black Sun Church.

After entering the house and looking around vigilantly, Xiu quickly closed the door.

"Aunt Xiu!"

At this time, Eyke and Lin were in the house. Seeing Xiu come in, they let out a cheer.

"Alright, I've become an Immortal and learned the curse technique. We can leave now."

Xiu pulled open a piece of floorboard. Below it was a large bag full of bread and canned food that they had saved during this period of time, as well as other tools.

"I've already asked around. The Black Sun Church is not as simple as it seems … The rumor of burning living people also exists. The high priest may be waiting for a specific number of spirits and a date … We have to go, we can't stay. Hmm … Even if we're outside, we can continue to study the path of the Immortals …"

Xiu did not realize that she had unknowingly changed a little.

For example, she no longer resisted the faith of the Black Sun.

This time, she only wanted to run away from the Black Sun Church, not away from the Black Sun!

"But … Aunt Xiu, are we really leaving? I think those uncles and aunts are very kind, and they even gave me and my sister candy. "

Eyke's face showed hesitation.

Xiu's expression changed, suddenly becoming perplexed and pained …

She seemed to have thought of something, and her face turned pale, "This influence is too scary … I'm an adult, and it's already like this. You two children have to leave this place immediately, away from the 'mystery'!"
