"How is the progress with the Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem?"
After finishing Roselle's diary, George turned to ask Klein.
Fleecing the "Eternal Blazing Sun" by divining the Sun Sacred Emblem was currently the fastest and safest way to obtain a large amount of high-end knowledge.
Klein held up two fingers:
"It's almost ready. If things go quickly, I'll have a chance to apply to use the Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem again in two days."
He had already commissioned Mr. Azik to orchestrate a ghost incident. If no accidents occurred, he could find an opportunity to request the use of the Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem in two days' time.
In fact, no accidents did occur.
On the afternoon two days later, while handling the ghost incident with two of his teammates, Klein took the time to bring the Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem into the gray mist space and summoned George once more.
"The power contained within this is indeed not weak."
George took the Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem, feeling the continuous emission of the Sun's purification power and mental energy, and nodded silently.
The power contained in this Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem was not much lower than a typical Sequence 4.
The High Deacon of the Lord of Storms he encountered last time had a similar level of power within his body.
"The essential source of this item's power!"
He did not follow Klein's method of first divining the source of the emblem and then the source of the golden liquid; instead, he directly divined the essence of its power.
If the power of this Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem truly came from the Eternal Blazing Sun, then he could directly link to the true body of the Eternal Blazing Sun.
Holding the Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem, George entered a state of meditation.
At that moment, a golden, dazzling sun appeared in his inner world the instant he entered meditation.
With the appearance of the sun, all sorts of knowledge related to the Sun pathway flooded into his mind.
"Hmph!"
Just as he obtained the potion formula for the Sequence 4 Unshadowed, a cold snort echoed from within the sun.
Immediately following, the power belonging to the Sun God surged toward George, though it was weakened layer by layer by the gray mist.
Compared to Klein, who had been burned half to death previously, George showed no reaction at all when facing the weakened divine power of the Sun.
He continued the divination ritual, extracting the corresponding knowledge from the sun.
The potion formulas for Sequence 3 Justice Mentor, Sequence 2 Light-seeker, and Sequence 1 White Angel, along with the abilities of various sequences, flooded into his mind one by one.
Unfortunately, just as he was about to obtain the potion formula and related abilities for Sequence 0 The Sun, the divination was forcibly interrupted.
The golden sun instantly transformed into a handsome, sunny, and vibrant young man wearing a pure white robe, with a head of short, golden, flame-like hair.
The young man held a book in one hand and a golden sphere of light in the other, glaring furiously at George:
"Audacious! To dare pry into this Deity—accept Divine Punishment!"
A power a hundred times more terrifying than before erupted from the young man's body, surging toward George along the thread of connection.
A few days ago, a bold Sequence 7 Divination pathway Beyonder had dared to pry into him and was nearly wiped out by a sliver of power from his instinctive counterattack.
He hadn't expected another one to pop up two days later.
He had thought this one would also be easily erased, but to his surprise, the divination did not stop after he released his attack.
This indicated the opponent's strength was not weak and that they had withstood his instinctive counterattack.
How could he let someone who dared to offend him off the hook? He immediately mobilized even more power, letting it spread along the traces of that divination.
Unless the opponent was a Sequence 0, they would surely die upon taking this hit.
"What a temper!"
Sensing the scorching heat that was a hundred times stronger than before, George reached out and wiped the flames away, temporarily halting the divination.
If he were outside the gray mist, it would indeed be somewhat dangerous to take such a hit from the Eternal Blazing Sun using only his physical body and soul without employing energy.
But inside this gray mist, the power was weakened by ninety-nine percent, so naturally, there was no threat.
However, that was only for him. Forget Klein—even a Sequence 2 or Sequence 3 would be doomed if they took a serious strike from the Eternal Blazing Sun inside this gray mist, even if it were weakened by ninety-nine percent.
If he continued, he actually could have fleeced more knowledge.
But he decisively gave up.
Because the Eternal Blazing Sun had clearly turned his gaze here. If he continued to pry after this strike, the Eternal Blazing Sun would know he hadn't died.
At that point, the deity might even descend from the Divine Kingdom to see what was going on.
If the Eternal Blazing Sun descended upon Tingen, there was a high probability he would discover the existence of the gray mist space. Even if he couldn't descend in his true form, sending a Sequence 2 Angel would be a huge hassle.
"George, are you okay?"
Seeing George open his eyes, Klein breathed a long sigh of relief.
When those flames erupted from George just now, Klein, hiding in the corner of the gray mist, felt as if his soul was being scorched painfully.
One could only imagine how terrifying the Eternal Blazing Sun's counterattack was.
"I'm fine. It's a pity he reacted quite quickly; otherwise, I could have gotten the potion formula for Sequence 0 of the Sun pathway."
George smiled and waved his hand, then recounted the potion formulas for Sequences 3, 2, and 1 of the Sun pathway, along with the related knowledge and rituals, to Klein.
The only reason he stopped was that the Eternal Blazing Sun is an Orthodox Deity. Had he been divining an Evil God this time, he would have fleeced the wool to the very end.
Aside from being able to inflict some damage through the divination, an Evil God cannot descend in their true body.
As long as one can withstand the damage, one can fleece them as much as one desires.
"Time is almost up. I need to go back, or my teammates will notice."
After memorizing the formulas, rituals, and various ability details for the High Sequences of the Sun pathway provided by George, Klein ended the meeting.
Once his soul returned to his body, George used the occult knowledge regarding the Sun he had just obtained from the Eternal Blazing Sun to begin researching how to convert similar magic.
For example, various Light Magic and the Grand Magic "Fairy Glitter" from Fairy Tail, as well as "The Light" card from the Clow Cards, and so on.
With the corresponding knowledge in this world's power system as support, he could research and convert magic of similar laws from other worlds much faster.
Just as he had previously obtained the flame abilities of a Magician and knew the related knowledge, he could easily convert various fire spells.
If he could obtain the occult knowledge related to the Tyrant pathway, then spells related to lightning, wind, and water could also be researched and converted by him as quickly as possible.
Of course, it didn't matter if he didn't have it; the conversion just wouldn't be as fast and would require more time.
"Once the sealing arts are converted and I seal that fetus inside Megose, I should be able to divine quite a bit of useful occult knowledge from it."
As the saying goes, speak of the devil and he shall appear.
A week later, George truly had an opportunity to fleece an Evil God.
However, it wasn't through the fetus inside Megose, but rather through the Nighthawk whose mental state had some issues last time—Old Neil.
