I successfully advanced without being affected by the ravings from my ancestor or losing control. I am now a Sequence 6 Scribe!
The pattern of flipping pages in Lawrence's eyes slowly disappeared, and a sincere smile, coming from the bottom of his heart, appeared on his face.
This signifies that our Abraham Family has taken the most successful first step in breaking the curse!
Leyton's eyes were covered with a layer of hazy white, as he was using prophecy to calculate the impact of the full moon's ravings on Lawrence.
The Sequence 6 Lawrence would have a deeper connection with Mr. Door, which would make the full moon's ravings he received even more severe, to the point of being fatal.
This bloodline connection should not be enough to break the full moon's pattern; Lawrence himself is not strong enough for Mr. Door to establish such a degree of connection.
After inferring the result, Leyton's eyes returned to normal.
Lawrence looked at Leyton somewhat nervously; he seemed to have also realized that Leyton was making a prophecy for him.
Seeing Lawrence's overly nervous expression, Leyton chuckled and said, "There's no problem. With your current Sequence, it's not enough for Mr. Door to cross the full moon's pattern and exert influence on you."
"Moreover, Mr. Door at other times is not the same as Him during the full moon. You only need to remember to pray during the full moon."
"Hmm… if you encounter a Blood Moon night, or an unexpected situation created by a Scarlet Scholar, and your prayer isn't answered in time, you can also recite another honorific name…"
Lawrence's expression gradually relaxed. As long as he wouldn't constantly hear the ravings from his ancestor, it wouldn't have much impact on him.
After relaxing, he had the presence of mind to consider other questions. How was his ancestor at other times different from Him during the full moon?
Although he was puzzled, he did not ask this question. Even after successfully advancing to Sequence 6, in front of his ancestor, he was no different from other low-Sequence Beyonders, unless he reached the demigod level.
He sighed inwardly, adjusted his mood, and asked with some curiosity, "What is the other honorific name? And which great existence is it?"
"The Essence of Knowledge, The Root of Mystery, The Radiance of Civilization, The Guardian of Truth."
Leyton said, imitating the pious tone of a Cyber Hand, then chuckled and added, "There's a more specific, intuitive description: The Hidden Sage is a part of Him."
Lawrence's face paled slightly, which brought back some unpleasant memories. If Leyton hadn't been right in front of him, he would have probably immediately cut off all ties with the other party.
The last time they had a connection with the True Creator, an Evil God, their entire family was greatly affected, and all his descendants died in that disaster.
Although the Hidden Sage is not the mad True Creator, He is also an Evil God.
Just by looking at Lawrence's expression, Leyton knew what he was thinking and could only lament inwardly, 'The Hidden Sage is really having a rough time, even though He only messes with Mystery Pryers!'
Then he chuckled and said reassuringly, "You don't need to worry so much. Although the Hidden Sage is also classified as an Evil God by the Seven Churches, He is only interested in Mystery Pryers, following His instincts to bring them knowledge."
"Moreover, that great existence is not the Hidden Sage. When He returns, He will reclaim the authority belonging to the Hermit. As a member of the Abraham Family, you should not be too unfamiliar with these things, right?"
Lawrence was stunned. He didn't know about matters beyond Sequence, only simply thinking that this was a struggle between Sequence 0 positions.
But the Hidden Sage doesn't seem to have any manifestations or authority related to civilization? This is closer to the neighboring Savant Pathway. Could it be…
"Don't guess. Your guess will definitely be wrong. Perhaps after Mr. Door returns, you can ask Him."
"Will our ancestor truly return?"
Lawrence asked with anticipation on his face, but his tone was somewhat disbelieving.
"He will, but He will lose the qualification to contend for the position of the great ruler above the Spirit World. After all, by that time, it will already be in the fierce stage, and there will be no time for Him to slowly recover and adjust His state."
Lawrence was a bit confused about what the great ruler above the Spirit World was. Shouldn't the peak of the Apprentice Pathway be the Door?
But he didn't press the question. In the mysterious world of the Beyonder, knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.
He redirected the conversation back to himself:
"I've been to many places and seen many people and things over the years. Although I haven't started recording various Beyonder abilities yet, this has allowed me to digest a lot of the Scribe potion."
Leyton nodded slightly and said very sincerely, "Congratulations. Perhaps soon, you will advance further and become a Traveler."
"Do you need to record some Beyonder abilities now? As a Prophet, I possess enough Beyonder abilities."
"Prophet? You've already stepped into that demigod level!"
Lawrence exclaimed in surprise. With only a slight doubt, he recalled some information he had read about the Prophet Sequence… This is the Sequence 4 of the Reader Pathway!
Then he nodded gently and said, "Then I'll trouble you. Recording enough different types of Beyonder abilities can greatly help me digest the Scribe potion."
Leyton nodded gently, then placed his hand on Lawrence's shoulder, and the two figures quickly faded and disappeared.
On the outskirts of Constant City, by a secluded forest.
Leyton looked at Lawrence beside him and asked, "How many Beyonder abilities of various levels can you record now?"
Lawrence closed his eyes slightly upon hearing this, then opened them after a brief thought and said, "Only 1 at the demigod level, 10 at Sequence 5 and Sequence 6, and 25 at Sequence 7 and below."
"I understand." Leyton nodded slightly.
He then took two steps forward, a rich pale blue glow gradually appearing in his eyes. He leaned back slightly, arms half-open, as if embracing the Sun.
The next instant, in the air in front of him, a giant sphere of light, entwined with countless sacred flames and emitting a scorching radiance, appeared out of thin air.
After the previous battle with the True Creator's avatar, Leyton had gained experience in simulating the Sun at the Angel level. This Beyonder ability, originally belonging to the Unshadowed of the Sun Pathway, had undergone a qualitative leap in his hands.
Even the Sun Flame used by an Unshadowed cannot compare to this beggar-version Sun I am simulating now.
Lawrence, standing to the side, felt a burning sensation on his body and Spirit, like ice under the scorching Sun in summer.
This was a demigod-level ability, and even among abilities of the same level, it belonged to the extremely powerful kind.
Without hesitation, Lawrence used 'Record,' the core Beyonder ability of a Scribe.
A translucent, slowly turning book appeared in his eyes.
His mutated 'brain' continuously recorded and reproduced the process of Leyton using his Beyonder ability, then drove the activated cells to form corresponding symbols, patterns, and marks, completing the storage.
After displaying the ability, Leyton turned to look at Lawrence behind him.
Lawrence shook his head with a slight hint of helplessness:
"Recording failed…"
"It's fine, continue!"
After a slight nod, Leyton once again used the Beyonder ability he had just used.
Night, on the Future, moored on the Midseashire.
Leyton's figure quickly outlined itself on the deck. Almost the next second, Cattleya walked out of the captain's cabin.
She wasn't too surprised to see Leyton's figure appear on the Future. Frank had already received a letter earlier, informing her that Leyton would return to the Future today.
Cattleya was wearing a long purple dress embroidered with gold patterns, which seemed to have been specially modified, somewhat between a dress and a Warlock's robe in style.
She reached up and adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on her nose, speaking with a seemingly good mood, "Long time no see, welcome back to the Future."
After a slight pause, she continued after walking onto the deck, "I thought you would come tomorrow, after all, it's not far from midnight now."
Leyton retracted his gaze, twitched the corner of his mouth, and revealed a sunny smile, saying, "Long time no see, Captain!"
"I was delayed for some time in Constant City, helping a newly advanced Scribe record some Beyonder abilities, and then stayed to enjoy a sumptuous dinner."
Cattleya nodded faintly, then turned and led Leyton towards the cabin:
"What strange experimental direction did you suggest to Frank? He's been cooped up in the lab lately, staying amidst a pile of corrupted Monster corpses, and not even turning on the lights, saying he's simulating the environment."
"Captain, are you worried that Frank might cultivate some strange species?"
"How many species he cultivates aren't strange?"
Cattleya retorted in a deep voice.
Leyton was momentarily speechless. He thought hard for a long time and found that the normal species Frank had cultivated were few and far between, but as for the abnormal ones, to put it bluntly, he could pile up two small mountains without a problem.
He rationally skipped this topic and changed the subject, saying, "I want him to cultivate some edible plants that grow in the Dark, preferably those that feed on corrupted Monsters."
"Are you sure that kind of food is really edible?"
Cattleya sighed. Sometimes she really wanted to throw Frank overboard.
