"How many times has it been now? At this rate, Ludwig and the Bright Church can easily unite to complete the list of the Twelve Saints, and those on the Mysterious Side are definitely looking forward to this moment."

Tang Qi pinched the battle report, recalling the past few weeks, always assisting the "Second Rotten Head" when it mattered most.

Each of them had never appeared before this upheaval, seemingly sprung from cracks in the stone, yet each one had a background that was nothing short of appalling.

For instance, this time, the Mysterious Person who wielded a hammer and shield, claimed to be the disciple of the "Holy Craftsman" Sam Negrello, and the power he displayed while blocking the "Holy Blood Spear" for the Second Rotten Head left no room for doubt.

Despite the Mysterious Person claiming that this was a one-time event to fulfill his teacher's commission and that neither he nor the Holy Craftsman Association would be involved again,

the Church, in order to maintain its authority and position, still terminated its cooperative relationship with the Holy Craftsman Association.

Others who suffered the same fate included other descendants of the "Saints" and the derivatives of the Extraordinary Organizations, the existing Saints including gunfighter Crow Lopez, Holy Warrior William Hid, Holy Axe Bearer Justice Lincoln, Holy Spearman Morgan, Holy Witch Penelope Vitara...

"Saint Sister Teresa is a devout follower of the Lord of Light, unlikely to assist Sims, and the same goes for Holy Knight Dosi; apart from these two, the remaining Saints all have exceptional friendships with Martin Sims, even the most solitary among the Twelve Saints, Holy Mage Bram Crowley as well."

"The arrangements by Martin Sims have taken effect; by now, nearly all groups and Transcendents in the Mysterious Side are convinced that the reincarnated body parasitized by the Second Rotten Head is actually that of the Holy Confessor, which is why so many Saints have come forth to assist, even at the cost of opposing the Bright Church."

"All eyes are cast toward the past."

"Up to now, the Holy Confessor and the Holy Prophet are in an absolute advantage; the entire Bright Church is being toyed with, but as the Light Festival approaches and the Lord of Light nears awakening, the power the Church gains grows increasingly formidable."

"It is an almost irresistible trend!"

Tang Qi suppressed the urgency in his heart, maintaining his calmness as he browsed through similar battle reports.

He promptly handled the matters within the school.

Without pause, he skillfully extracted an antiquated quill and a sheet of white paper from the drawer.

Upon setting his eyes upon them, sure enough, he saw lines of soft elegant handwriting emerge, a reply from Mrs. Loring, a scholar of the Federation.

The first line immediately energized Tang Qi's mind.

"Dear Tang, do you remember the question you posed a few weeks ago about the relationship between the Lord of Light and the Lord of Thorns, as well as the secrets related to the Master of the Crucible involving 'Dominator Level' Divinities? I am very interested in this, after researching for some time, I think I can answer some of these now."

"All who are Transcendents from the Mysterious Side know that beyond 'Mystery', there exist All Spirits, who have been since the old Age of Ignorance, in fact, the birth of All Spirits stems from an incredible war at the beginning of that era."

"I cannot ascertain the original cause of that war, but after that battle, the Spirits were born, including a pair of 'brothers' who were nearly inseparable, fought together, spread the seeds of belief, and established the Bright Divine Kingdom, becoming the most powerful Sovereigns among all Spirits."

"They were indivisible, sharing that supreme Divine Authority... until the recent upheaval, when the Thorns no longer entwined with the Light."

"It's hard to predict whether the reincarnation of the Holy Confessor will successfully obtain the 'Thorns' gift, even if he succeeds, it may be difficult to counter the Light, the authority of the Camp will completely fall into the hands of the Lord of Light, and this is not good for the Mysterious Side."

"The faith of the Light is pure, but too absolute, which easily leads to madness; during the Dark Era, several Divinities of the Light Camp fell to Chaotic Evil, only the 'Thorns' can provide a balance to Him."

"Speaking of which, I doubt whether the Thorns has truly fallen, although various signs suggest it's true, I think I need to research more deeply... well, before the Light Festival arrives."

"Bang bang"

At this point, Tang Qi's heart skipped a beat, then thumped violently.

Is this the intuition of a Great Polymath?

Fortunately, she has no evidence, likely no fear that she will uncover the truth soon, but in the reply, I can leave a mental suggestion in advance, so even if she figures it out, she won't disclose it."

Quickly pondering, he continued reading.

The topic changed, and more shocking information subsequently appeared before Tang Qi's eyes.

"Last time you mentioned the Master of the Crucible, I had already heard of this very unique 'Dominator,' so I spent a week investigating specifically, even using Curios to communicate with a very ancient 'Spirit' above the 'Mystery,' I obtained some very interesting information."

"The Crucible is likely a 'Dominator' with extremely low intelligence!"

Just this sentence brought not a small change to Tang Qi's expression.

What does that mean?

Do you think the Master of the Crucible is an idiot?

Although crude, it seems Mrs. Loring really thought so.

Her handwriting continued to appear:

"My investigation yielded no fruits, which is quite normal, after all, I am but a humble mortal. Though I possess much knowledge, to Divine, the knowledge in my mind is as laughable as an ant on the roadside searching for sweets and knowing the way back to its nest."

"The real conclusion comes from that ancient 'spirit'; my job is to translate."

"In terms humans can comprehend: 'Molten Furnace' is a powerful fool, born before 'Light' and 'Thorns,' belonging to the 'Origin Era.' Yet, from the start, it took the wrong path, now fast approaching Doomsday. Before that, it might instinctively attempt a frantic self-rescue... Molten Furnace Flames are quite a lofty power, nearing 'Eternal', sadly, its controller is a fool."

Below were some further writings, typical gossip part customary of Mrs. Loring.

However, Tang Qi didn't take a look immediately. Holding the "Knowledge Seeker," his expression was bizarre, unsure how to react.

A thought was stirring in his mind.

"The Molten Furnace is a fool!"

After a while, he finally gathered himself and quickly organized this astonishing "secret":

Mrs. Loring's communicated spirit is likely that ancient god related to knowledge spoken of in external rumors.

Master of the Crucible was born in the 'Origin Era,' more ancient than deities like the Lord of Light, Lord of Thorns.

It lacks grand wisdom, nearing destruction, and might engage in frantic self-rescue?

Are Molten Furnace Flames power close to 'Eternal'?

After organizing his thoughts, Tang Qi fell silent, suddenly realizing he needed to reassess his identity as a 'Melter Wizard.'

"What a hassle!"

As he muttered with some headache, Tang Qi glanced at the gossip content shared by Mrs. Loring this time: a high-level agent named "Pedro" from the World Tree secretly in love with a special contained object, a creature from the Exotic Realm, whose reproductive organs are located under the armpit...

Although he had seen similar "gossip" multiple times, Tang Qi still couldn't help but be shocked.

Picking up a quill, he quickly replied and didn't forget to express his feelings at the end:

"The circle really is chaotic; I hope Mr. Pedro pays attention to hygiene."

...

After finishing the reply, Tang Qi placed the copy back in the drawer.

With all tasks attended to, he turned his gaze back to the surrounding disorderly piles of books, his thoughts wavered between "reading" and "meditation"—the kind of meditation that could rapidly enhance strength but was extraordinarily perilous.

Just then, he abruptly sensed something, his demeanor shifted, and the Book of Nothingness covered with Chaos Mushroom immediately appeared.

An endless, dark universe on the cover, that eye blinked and started flipping pages rapidly, soon pausing; a blank page displayed the Dream Kingdom scenery, a world once utterly silent now infused with some vivid yet chaotic essences.

In forests, palaces, or bustling streets, some "monsters" were wreaking havoc.

However, amidst the chaos, there was also order.

Led by "Amanda," followers were clearing the monsters. Compared to long ago, she was no longer alone—beneath the fluttering Red Cloak, three pink, mountain-like pigs were strikingly noticeable.

Tang Qi's gaze swept over and soon landed deep in the country, in Deborah Town located within the 'Mysterious,' where an enormous Goddess Illusion cradled unending Divine Tentacles, pure Divine Power and Chaos Pollution engaged in a game.

Suddenly, like the sound of eggshells breaking, a central spot transmitted noise.

Cracks appeared on several Light Balls.

With a quick glance, Tang Qi saw familiar faces like Tyrone, Fairy, Magic Flute Player... and "White Merlin."

The followers were each exerting effort to break free from the pure Light Balls, being born into this incredibly dreamlike, magnificent realm.

In the Light Ball belonging to White Merlin, the aged boy had already awakened holding a long Magic Wand, vigorously poking at the cracks, trying to widen them; his side's snow-white Unicorn was doing the same with its horn.

In Tang Qi's view, both were tiny, seemingly manageable with a single hand clasp.

Tang Qi did not descend in person or lend a hand; he just watched.

Soon, without much unexpected, with help, White Merlin managed to break open his Light Ball first, the pure Divine Power split into two, melding into both White Merlin and the Unicorn's bodies, glowing, their minds began to fill with information that, as followers, they ought to know.

Possessing formidable power, Fairy was the second follower to be born.

Yet the moment she was born and saw White Merlin and the Unicorn, an impulsive obedience willed down upon Deborah Town from their inner hearts.

In her eyes, the figures of White Merlin and the Unicorn gradually began to dissipate.
