Tang Qi opened his eyes, feeling the aftereffects of transitioning from "Radiance" back to his fleshly form, and found himself in the familiar surrounds of the Meditation Room. He reached out to remove the "Existence Mask" from his face, quickly reverting from the amusing "Yellow Squirrel" back to his original appearance.
His face still bore a solemn expression, immediately plunging into thought.
After the standard procedure ended, Tang Qi didn't deeply participate in the subsequent activities, and even the long-awaited "trade" he only observed for a while. He applied to return after finding that there were no high-level wonders or ancient knowledge that could aid him.
His sole participation in the first Holy Eagle Nest Society joint meeting was in that "special proposal".
Indeed, he had joined the war preparation.
Correspondingly, he gained some knowledge that members needed to know in advance.
For instance: basic information about the Rotten Head and the Mysterious Deformed Show, their main members, some skills, and their strength, etc.
However, these were already known to Tang Qi.
What truly supplemented his knowledge was the information about the "target".
"Ludwig Morier, before the return of the Spiritual Tide, was a genius violinist, renowned in the Europa Alliance Anglo Kingdom. He held individual concerts at various musical holy lands in the Old Continent, and later went on personal tours in the Divine Eagle Federation. The night before he was to perform at Naswei Music Hall, he mysteriously disappeared."
"When he reappeared, Ludwig had become an Ascetic."
"He refused to disclose what he had encountered, only mentioning that he needed to undergo a spiritual and physical trial, searching for the true essence of life."
"After a long hiatus, he reappeared having received the legacy of the Holy Confessor Martin Sims. At the same time, he was parasitized by the Second Rotten Head of the ancient Evil God Organization 'Rotten Head'. From their exchange, it could be inferred that Sims' inheritance contained secrets related to the Great Catastrophe."
"Ludwig and the Second Rotten Head, both entered the 'Mysterious,' competing for control of the body... All major organizations began to chase after them, a phenomenon that always occurs after events related to the secrets of the Great Catastrophe."
"The primary objective of the Holy Eagle Nest Society: to seal Ludwig or bind him and then bring him back."
"Collateral damage is acceptable, any means may be used to kill the Second Rotten Head, but Ludwig himself must not be killed."
...
These were the pieces of information related to the Ascetic Tang Qi had met before, obtained from the "Holy Eagle Nest Society."
Although strictly speaking, he was the first Transcendent to reach the "scene."
But compared to the major organizations, Tang Qi was indeed still insignificant.
He saw the battlefield, witnessed the gruesome aftermath of the battle between the Rotten Head and the Mysterious Deformed Show, and also saw the struggle between Ludwig and the Second Rotten Head, but that was as far as he could inquire further.
It must be a major organization with influence spanning the entire Federation; Merada Special Education School was far from qualified.
Even the Ancient Castle Bureau was not enough.
The Holy Eagle Nest Society resolved it overnight.
At the same time, they also planned to directly snatch Ludwig back, even if this meant facing the Rotten Head, Mysterious Deformed Show, Investigation Bureau, Doomsday Sect, and other major organizations, and the battlefield was moved to the perilous and boundless "Mysterious."
However, this was in line with Tang Qi's thoughts, so he directly signed up to participate in the battle as a newcomer.
"Participating in such activities can earn a lot of Organization Points, which is a good excuse."
After his contemplation flickered, Tang Qi did not leave the Meditation Room.
In fact, he didn't even stand up.
He just glanced at the wall clock, around noon.
"The Sword Holder is going to use high-level wonders to pinpoint Ludwig's location, that will take at least half a day... Yes, there's enough time."
"Although as a newcomer participating in such a large war involving the Mysterious and various major organizations for the first time, I'm bound to stay low-key and keep paddling, but unexpected events might occur on the battlefield, and if there's a chance to enhance my strength, I should do it quickly."
Thinking for a moment, Tang Qi decided to undergo another formal meditation.
"Most wizard sects of the Mysterious Side, meditation can increase magic power, but it also comes with danger, even the Molten Furnace Wizard lineage is no exception... but probably there's no second sect where meditation would bring the dangers I'm about to face."
As he contemplated, his mind automatically went through his last experience.
At the same time, in front of Tang Qi, a book titled "Book of Nothingness" with a cover depicting the Dark Universe and filled with Chaos Mushrooms, the eyes of knowledge and power appeared. Divine Radiance wrapped around Chaos Spores, forming bizarre "tentacles" that twisted towards Tang Qi.
Boom!
Just like last time, Tang Qi's mind was swept into another world.
Unexpectedly, this world was not bizarre or illusory.
On the contrary, he saw a dreadfully real creature, so real that Tang Qi almost immediately broke off the "meditation."
When he fell, he saw on the vast expanse of land, a Misty giant lying down, whose aura posed a threat of death to Tang Qi at that moment; it seemed as though it was the only creature and sovereign of this world.
It curled up in a fetal position on the ground, apparently deep in a beautiful dream.
The snoring of the giant was the only sound in this world.
