Chapter 10 The Price of Divination
Author: Yan Youwu
Leon's words echoed in Dante's heart for a long time. The mixed emotions of uneasiness, annoyance, loss, and shock left him speechless for a while.
"Do you know why I tell you so much?"
Leon regained his calm look and glanced over.
Dante shook his head and asked, "Why?"
"If my prediction is correct, the extraordinary ability you awakened should be related to prophecy, divination and the like."
Dante nodded without explanation, acquiescing to the answer.
Leon smiled lowly and looked at Dante who was silent. He was also not in a hurry to speak. He stretched out his hand and gently tugged the bell next to the desk.
The room fell into an eerie silence.
Dante didn't pay much attention to the change in the atmosphere between the two at this moment. He frowned slightly and was trying to digest the information he had received.
Are awakened abilities only related to divination?
Strictly speaking, the inheritance of my sect is not limited to divination.
The master once said that the five channels of Taoist metaphysics are called "Mountain Medicine Divination". Each channel has different characteristics and functions. For example, Zhengyi, Longhu, Maoshan and other sects all choose one or two channels as their
The main direction of cultivation, with very few exceptions.
Only my own sect, because of the training of the founder, each generation of disciples must practice together in the five meridians, so the talent requirements are extremely strict, so they are forced to pass it on from generation to generation. During this period, the incense has not been cut off, and they have already been protected by the Three Purities.
Now it seems that when I was able to be admitted as a disciple, my "extremely strong spiritual sense" was actually not an empty talk.
It's just that it may be caused by the earth's environmental factors. I can only learn theory without any chance of practice.
No wonder every time I read relevant records in the master's classics in the past, it felt like reading a fantasy novel.
After all, things like becoming an immortal, eliminating demons, spiritual healing, and changing one's life all sound too daunting.
Fortunately, my master had strict requirements and I learned all the knowledge about the five meridians of metaphysics.
Now in this world, it seems that all the contents I have mastered are no longer a fantasy.
Dante thought for a moment and finally noticed the silent atmosphere. He raised his head and asked:
"Then which category of special job system does my ability belong to?"
"This is also the reason why I felt a little complicated after confirming it just now."
"Because the special job system of divination is quite special," Leon explained:
"Generally speaking, only a few extraordinary people in the church can awaken such an ability. Once the awakening is successful, their status and identity will make a qualitative leap. Only they can minimize the danger when performing divination or prophecy.
means of coefficients.”
"After all, the power and information sensed during divination are often more chaotic, disorderly, and make people crazy."
"So it means that my ability is dangerous and rare?"
Dante appropriately showed a look of fear, although he didn't have much of this emotion in his heart at the moment.
That feeling is obviously very warm, and the direction is very clear, right?
"Yes, if you are a church member, you can now be cultivated as the core force of the church."
Leon nodded and continued to add: "There have been some non-church members who have awakened related abilities, but only a very small number of them are still living normally."
Reluctantly Dante caught the word keenly.
"Whether it is divination or prophecy, it has essentially come into contact with the field of destiny. In the common understanding of all occult schools, this is an ability that belongs exclusively to gods, and it is also one of the few human beings who can reach the ninth level.
One of the positions.”
"The church has always claimed that they can receive divine guidance, and the reason is this.
After countless generations of hard work and cruel lessons, they have worked out a set of methods to avoid danger and loss of control as much as possible, but outsiders have no way of knowing."
"So for non-church people, awakening this ability basically announces the approach of destruction."
Leon narrated quietly, and the look in his eyes that looked over again revealed the original look of regret mixed with envy.
Dante gradually realized why he looked at himself like this.
According to this world's understanding of gods, extraordinary people with divination abilities can be said to be purely seeking death.
But this ability is unique. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to come into contact with the realm that belongs to God, so naturally people can't help but envy it.
To give an inappropriate analogy, a piece of dog poop mixed with poison is placed there. Everyone knows that if they eat it, they will have the chance to become rich overnight, but not everyone has the courage to eat it in one bite.
"The very few people you mentioned"
"With the help of some available ancient relics, I forcibly maintained my consciousness, but in the end I was still in a semi-mad state. I just delayed the time of losing control as much as possible, just like drinking the venom of the Corrido dragon to quench my thirst.
That way.”
Ancient relics should be some items similar to forbidden objects. Dante silently memorized this word.
"Then there are no extraordinary people who have regained their faith after awakening their divination abilities?"
"Judging from the records, no." Leon answered directly. He took out a kraft paper file bag from the desk drawer and threw it on the table.
"I'm also surprised that you actually awakened this ability, after all, judging from our investigation of you."
He pointed at the files on the table, tilted his head and said, "There is no record of belief in gods in your past experiences and family background."
Dante looked in the direction of Leon's finger and found that the file bag said:
"Truth Sect "2-01" Case - Survivor: Dante Ashborn"
What does the 2 in this number mean? Dante's mind jumped a bit as he thought.
"So, either you are a deeply hidden religious believer and have never exposed this in the past twenty years or so, otherwise, I can only classify you as one of those lucky and unlucky people."
Leon's blue eyes looked calm and deep again. His voice was low and he continued: "But even if it is the former, there is a high probability that you will not have an easy time."
What's the meaning?
Dante frowned, he was indeed "hidden very deeply", and he naturally believed in Taoism.
"Believers of the Twelve Righteous Gods will not hide their religious beliefs. They are eager to let the whole continent know about it." Leon twitched the corners of his mouth and looked directly at the man in front of him.
"Unless you believe in an evil god."
Evil God?!
What a joke! How could I, the Taoist Sanqing, and all the righteous gods be evil gods!
Dante was almost about to start a fight, but then he realized that this was not the Earth.
"You won't really let me hit the mark, right?"
Leon's observation was very keen, but his attitude didn't seem to care too much.
"Relax, I hope you are really a believer in the evil god."
kindness?
Could it be that the official organizations of the Federation are actually not on the same line as the church?
"Because in this case, if you are arrested and brought to justice, our action team's target for this month can be completed ahead of schedule."
"."
Dante was silent for a moment and said very seriously:
"I swear, I have never believed in any god in the mainland."
"As a law-abiding citizen of the Federation, I am sworn in with the evil god."
Chapter completed!
