Chapter 1095: Chapter 34: "Pathway," "Messenger," and "Roselle’s Secret Potion" (3)

Each rune seems to be a miniature collection of authority, constantly breaking down and recombining...

Thousands of runes repeatedly combine, separate, and stack, attempting to find the fusion and continuity that best represent power...

—Finally, these flowing rune scripts collectively formed a complete Rune System. Its shape is like a glowing chain of order and also appears as a towering Ascension to Divinity staircase manifesting in the void, as if following this designed "pathway" can lead one from species origin to the top of the Tree of Life.

The Magician quietly watched all this; it was the transformation blueprint he designed and the necessary resource to support the agent’s forces.

After all, every Secret Organization, and even the Orthodox Church, inevitably must master one or more complete Extraordinary pathways to attract organizational members to strive upwards and shine brightly... His established Secret Organization is of course no exception, otherwise it would only be like a rootless duckweed, flowing with the tides for a time, difficult to endure.

Gu Mo doesn’t fit in with this universe’s style, neither with any source substance and characteristics nor by pursuing any Extraordinary pathway—

Though in some sense, he possesses similar things and seems to have traversed all pathways, but that’s ultimately a different system, an illusory road... However, this certainly doesn’t trouble him; faking is not difficult, casually crafting pathways is easy.

As long as something looks like an apple, smells like an apple, and tastes like an apple, then it is an apple... Similarly for Extraordinary pathways as well. Based on such conscientious advanced guiding principles, supplemented with rich faking experience, he meticulously crafted a unique Extraordinary pathway solely for the agents he supports using rune scripts.

—"Player."

Appearing authentic, with matching magic potion recipes, stage abilities across various sequences, identical progressive styles...

In reality, it’s fake, so it’s not a true Extraordinary pathway and won’t lead to insanity or loss of control, and can even coexist with any pathway...

...

...

Tingen.

Shire Hat Shop.

Sitting behind the counter, as always scratching his head over his old father’s diary, Mr. Shire with a dark face suddenly felt a sense of realization at this moment.

He looked up to see the Spirit Realm being torn apart, a brilliant light flying out and revealing itself before him, an exquisitely beautiful bird with slender feathers standing before him.

"Your delivery has arrived, please sign for it..."

The little creature folded its wings, proudly pacing back and forth on the table, opening its mouth not to chirp but to speak human words, its voice sharp yet clear.

Shire raised his eyebrows but wasn’t too surprised, instead nodding: "I see, leave it here..."

"Confirm receipt..."

The bird’s beady eyes flashed with a peculiar light, as if earnestly examining him, then suddenly opened its mouth, as if from an unknown Alternate Space connected to its mouth, "spat" out the delivered package—with a soft thud, a square black box, about the size of a briefcase, fell onto the counter.

Shire glanced at it and knew immediately that the box was made of materials specifically designed to isolate spirituality, and a guess arose in his heart.

Upon opening it, it confirmed his thoughts; inside were two magic potions possessed by the Secret Ceremony Society—Sequence 9 "Mapmaker" and Sequence 8 "Collector" materials.

"So, it means before leaving Tingen, at least upgrade to Sequence 8?"

He mused, softly speaking to himself.

"If possible, it’s best to reach Sequence 7, though that would be quite pressuring for you, so I only sent these two materials..." The bird, grooming its colorful feathers with its sharp beak upon hearing, lifted its head and responded matter-of-factly.

"I understand..." Shire gently nodded.

Despite its appearance as a delicately colored, fragile bird, it’s actually an embodiment of some Spirit of the Sky, standing uniquely within the Spirit Realm. Additionally, as the Secret Ceremony Society’s public courier, it’s certainly not a simple role; like the current mission he’s executing, the courier is clearly one of the few in-the-know within the society.

Looking back at the items in the box, he sighed deeply, unable to restrain a tinge of envy.

Sequence 9 "Mapmaker," will give the potion taker a chance to reshape their body; even a sickly bedridden person can recover to an absolutely standard normal level. Besides that, it grants a strong sense of direction and the ability to draw spiritual maps.

It’s said that any traveled roads, explored areas, spiritual memory will firmly remember, as if a map that brightens with actions, never to be forgotten.

Sequence 8 "Collector," at this stage, the Extraordinary surpass most pathways, establishing a shallow connection with the Spirit Realm in advance, not allowing exaggerated mastery of Spirit Realm traversal abilities, yet enabling certain limits of storage through the Spirit Realm, readily accessible.

Many members within the Secret Ceremony Society take advantage of this characteristic either becoming unexpected assassins or turning into smugglers during this stage.
