So, it was Adam who came then?

But when the real Creator first met me through the son of the evil god, he showed inexplicable kindness, which seemed more like the uniqueness of the doorway was related to Him.

Could it be that the Twilight Hermit's response to me was some kind of kindness from Adam?

But the question now is, why did the uniqueness of the door path fall into my hands? If it is another "arrangement", what is the purpose of the other party doing this?

Also, how does the uniqueness of the door path allow me to travel between the two worlds?

If I remember correctly, even the "beginning" before the split, that is, the existence of a single universe, did not have the ability to break the barriers between the worlds and go to another universe (world), right?

By the way, since my "plug-in" comes from Adam or the real Creator, then He actually knows that I come from another world?

Edward felt upset at the thought.

"Why--"

Mr. Men sighed again at this time: "When He took away my uniqueness, He said that the next time we meet, He would be able to remove the pollution that the outer gods had put on me, so that I could return home."

He looked at Edward steadily, "Do you have the ability to do this?"

Edward shook his head, "I'm sorry Mr. Men, I don't think I have this ability."

"I see."

Mr. Men murmured, "Yes, His plan must have encountered some unexpected events, otherwise it shouldn't be you who came today. Forget it, let's leave it at that for now. Anyway, I have waited long enough, no more than ten years at the latest... Everything will be settled."

Mr. Men smiled faintly. "But, according to what the little guy who talked to me before said, I think I can still be saved. If...if it is possible, I hope you can help me go home next time we meet."

Uh, is it Emperor Roselle?

"By the way, do you know what the status of uniqueness is in me now? I'm only Sequence 6... Oh, now it's Sequence 5. It doesn't make sense that I should have successfully contained uniqueness. What should I do if I want to remove uniqueness?"

Mr. Men thought for a moment and said, "When you can truly control and contain uniqueness, you will naturally know how to remove it. Of course, you can also ask others to help you strip it out, but with your current sequence, you will die!"

In other words, I didn't really contain uniqueness, it was just forced in by someone using some means...and its function is probably to allow me to travel between the two worlds?

But is the uniqueness of the gate path so powerful?

Could it be that... everything Mr. Men said was actually made up by Him? Could it be that He had been lying to me since the first moment we met? In fact, He had never escaped the control of the Fallen Mother Goddess, and what was talking to me was His out-of-control and crazy side?

After all, if the uniqueness of the gate is really in me, why has no one mentioned it to me until now? Could it be that even someone as powerful as the Goddess of Night can't see it, or that she has seen it but doesn't want to say it?

These are all questions.

"Alright little guy, I can't hold on any longer. See you some other time."

At this moment, Mr. Men's figure became illusory and distorted again, and then turned into a light and shadow composed of layers of doors and disappeared.

Edward suddenly reacted at this time: "Wait, Mr. Gate, can you give me the formula for the Gate Pathway from Sequence 3 to Sequence 0?"

His voice drifted towards the boundless starry sky with an echo.

After a moment, Mr. Men's voice came: "Go find the descendants of Abraham."

Before he could speak again, a powerful repulsive force came from all around, and then his body retreated uncontrollably, passed through the glowing door, and returned to the starry sky where he was before.

The next moment, the light gate suddenly turned into a sky full of stars, gathering towards him. His consciousness suddenly became blurred, and he once again experienced the feeling of the non-existence of time and space.

He suddenly had a feeling that he seemed to have the ability to break free from the constraints of space and could go anywhere at any time.

Soon after, his scattered consciousness returned, and he discovered that he had successfully advanced to Sequence 5.

Chapter 316: Harvest of Sequence 5

After a moment, Edward's mind had more relevant information:

[Sequence 5 Wandering Mentor]

Your body and soul have no home, so you have been wandering in a foreign land. You should have been an unfettered bard, bringing stories to all parts of the world, but you chose to replace stories with knowledge and spread it to the world.

Please remember that spreading knowledge is not the goal, leaving traces to prove your existence is your original intention.

Extraordinary abilities:

[Traveler's Gate]: Allows people to travel through the spirit world, sense the outside world, and locate themselves. Different sequences of Beyonders have different strengths of their spirit bodies, and can withstand different teleportation times, so the effects and distances of spirit world travel are also significantly different.

[Flash]: Equivalent to short-distance travel, able to reach the place within sight in an instant. ·s*h\u!y^o·u¨k¨a\n~.~c`o?m^

[Invisible Hand]: You can create an invisible hand to help you do anything your own hands can do.

[Different paths lead to the same destination]: The new knowledge and abilities you impart will benefit you in return.

[Destination]: Your spirit can instantly return to the special coordinate position you set, without any restrictions.

[Sequence 4 Spirit Mage]

Materials: Mystic Potion + Undead Extraordinary Characteristics.

Ritual: The body is destroyed in a battle but the soul remains, then the potion is taken.

The above is all the information that Edward sensed after he was promoted to a wandering mentor of Sequence 5.

Compared to the [Bookfish] obtained at Sequence 6, the Wandering Mentor's new ability seems to be much inferior. Apart from doubling his spirituality, it hardly directly improves his strength:

[Traveler's Gate] allows him to travel through the spirit world on his own and go wherever he wants - but apart from the distance being farther than Apparition, it seems to have no use.

[Flash] is pretty good. It has almost no pre-swing or delay when used. It is much more useful than Apparition in combat.

[Invisible Hand] feels like a low-end version of telekinesis. It can increase combat power, but it should be limited.

[Different paths to the same destination] We cannot rely on it in a short period of time. The imparting and dissemination of knowledge can only be done overnight.

The final [destination], as previously speculated, can only be a final means of saving one's life.

Of course, with the advancement of the sequence, the number of abilities that [Record] can record has increased. The number of demigod-level abilities has reached 5, and it should be able to increase further after the potion is further digested. Various mid- and low-sequence abilities have also increased a lot, and the power is almost close to the original level.

In addition, the doubling of spirituality once again means that Edward's [Bookfish] should be able to support the consumption of some Sequence 3 abilities.

After seeing the rewards of advancing to Sequence 5, Edward certainly did not forget to use [Delusion] once again to overdraw one of the abilities of the Sequence 4 Spirit Mage:

[Jiao Zi]: When you are polluted, you can avoid the harm caused by the pollution and return double the damage to the polluter (this ability will be weakened to a certain extent.)

Edward was stunned. Why did this ability feel like an advanced version of [Stupidity]?

Stupidity allows him to be free from pollution, while Jiaozi not only allows him to be free from pollution, but can also "bounce" back.

At first glance, it seems like another ability that cannot directly improve combat power.

"Pollution" is something that all Beyonders and even the ancient sun god fear. It seems to be everywhere in the mysterious world, but it seems that only the Outer Gods, Evil Gods, and out-of-control monsters actively use it as a means of "attack". Other pollution often comes from the unconscious - the most common one is pollution by Beyonder characteristics.

Hmm? After the demigods enter the mythical creature form, pollution seems to be one of their means of attack, right? This is interesting. If I encounter a demigod and fight him desperately, I can use [Ya Zi] to rebound and kill him.

After reading the abilities, Edward turned his attention to the promotion ceremony for Sequence 4 Spirit Mage: the body is destroyed in a battle but the soul remains indestructible, and then a potion is taken.

The first half of the ceremony probably expresses the meaning of the "spirit" of the spirit mage, but doesn't this mean that after being promoted to a spirit mage, I can only maintain the state of soul?

Or, by then, will I be able to switch back and forth between the soul and the body like a vengeful spirit?

But the ritual requires the destruction of the physical body. Can it really be restored after destruction?

Also, after the body is destroyed and only the soul is left, how should I drink the potion?

Questions came to his mind one after another, and Edward was a little confused for a moment.

"Edward."

"Edward, Edward~"

At this time, Lilith and Audrey's voices came. Edward slowly opened his eyes and saw that they were looking at him with concern, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I was promoted successfully. I am now a Sequence 5 wandering mentor."

Audrey patted her chest lightly and breathed a sigh of relief: "I was so scared. I thought you were going to lose control like last time."

"Uh, no, no."

Frankly speaking, the information Edward learned this time was more powerful and shocking than the "groundless speculation" last time, but perhaps because of his experience last time, he maintained a good mentality this time and showed no signs of losing control.

Lilith gently jumped into his arms, "Edward, why does it take so long for you to get promoted every time?"

Audrey also said after hearing this: "Yes, every time I take the potion, I complete the promotion very quickly."

"Maybe I received more information."

Edward smiled and said, "Not only will I receive all kinds of information from the Traveler, but also from the Wandering Mentor, as well as the materials and rituals required for the next sequence, so it will take even longer."

"Yes, you are different from us!"

Audrey suddenly realized, "By the way, what is your Sequence 4 name? What Beyonder characteristics do you need this time?"

"Sequence 4 is called Spirit Mage, and requires an Undead Beyonder characteristic."

"Undead? What is the ascension ceremony?"

Edward said: "In a battle, the body is destroyed but the soul is not destroyed, and then take the magic potion."

Audrey's face changed: "This...isn't this suicide?"

Edward was stunned for a moment, then reacted: Yes, this seems to be a kind of suicide.

Among the 22 paths in the original work, there is a similar promotion ceremony: to be promoted to a tyrant, one needs to challenge a true god alone and survive, and finally, in the atmosphere of fear and obedience, take the magic potion to complete the promotion.

Its requirement is to challenge the true God and then survive - the core is to experience the atmosphere of fear and obedience in order to advance.

But the ceremony for becoming a spiritual mage only states that the physical body will be destroyed in a battle. It does not require victory or failure, nor does it require survival, nor does it say what needs to be learned from the experience.

At first glance, it really looks like suicide.

Maybe the core is... the immortality of the soul? So the magic potion needs to be added with the extraordinary characteristics of the undead? In this case, can I also use the extraordinary characteristics of the undead to restore my body?

Looking at Audrey's pretty face full of worry, Edward couldn't help but sigh: I really don't want to become a vengeful spirit from now on.

"Don't worry, this ritual should have its own reasons. Maybe you will know it when the time comes."

"Hmm~"

She nodded and asked, "How is the digestion progress of your two potions now?"

Edward calmed down and felt——

As expected, the traveler's potion has been completely digested. The role of a traveler is to travel and appreciate the scenery of different places. There must be few people in the world who are more experienced than Edward in this regard.

However, what was unexpected was that the wandering mentor also consumed nearly one-third of it.

It's strange, haven't I been teaching potion knowledge in the Harry Potter world yet...
