Chapter 23: The Road to Destiny
Xiao En felt that he was not smart enough.

The content of Ms. Hecate's lectures was so obscure and profound that he would not be able to keep up with the progress of the course without the help of reading magic to force himself to memorize.

Moreover, Ms. Hecate only explained everything once, unlike the teachers on Earth in the previous life who explained things repeatedly.

"In comparison, it is easier for warrior-type extraordinary people to be promoted." Xiao En felt his head buzzing.

It is true that not everyone can be a wizard.

For example, the wanderer he met today, only needed to digest the extraordinary relics to immediately possess agility and reaction speed beyond that of ordinary people. The next step was to become familiar with his abilities. Once he had fully mastered the abilities at the current stage, he could slowly increase his upper limit.

But Xiao En can't.

For now, let alone improving his abilities, he is already dizzy from just learning general knowledge.

These are just the basics, including astronomy, geography, religion, mysticism, etc. A qualified wizard would probably have to memorize as many books as a library.

“A top student may not be a wizard, but a wizard is definitely a top student.”

The only thing Xiao En can rely on at the moment is the 0-ring reading magic. No matter whether he can understand it or not, he will memorize it first and then slowly review his memory later.

Maze library.

Ms. Hecate waited for Sean to force himself to memorize today's knowledge, then slowly stood up and waved her slender fingers, and a stone column scale appeared in front of Sean.

"Next is the most important lesson of the day."

Ms. Hecate's expression gradually became solemn, and she slowly said, "About the limits of the extraordinary."

limit?

Xiao En raised his head, a hint of doubt on his face, and listened attentively.

"Before embarking on the road of destiny, all extraordinary people have a limit to the extraordinary essence they can contain." Lady Hecate waved her hand gently, and twelve majestic pillars of different colors appeared in the dream. She whispered: "The twelve mythological paths are the starting point of the road of destiny."

"But before you can realize your destiny, you must first perfect your mortal side."

"That's the only way you can survive."

Survive?
Will I die if I fail?
Lady Hecate seemed to have heard Sean's thoughts. A cruel smile appeared on her lips and she said, "Die? No! You will become food."

food?

Ms. Hecate's words made Sean feel a chill.

Because he thought of the angel who was chewed by the "Orphan of Kirishima", the alien messenger who Loris sacrificed and summoned at the cost of her own life.

There's something odd about Loris's death.

“When you embark on the path of destiny, you are no longer an ant in their eyes, and you have entered their food chain.”

"Not perfect enough, not strong enough, only reduced to food."

Lady Hecate's voice echoed as if in a whisper: "If you want to ascend to the Destiny Legend, you must first bet everything you have!"

"Life, flesh, blood, soul..."

Destiny!

In Xiao En's understanding, the destiny of this world is a concept, a fundamental law that can affect the operation of the entire world.

Human beings have always wanted to take back their destiny and turn the weird country into a normal world again.

And the powerful legendary figure of destiny is the hope for mankind to regain everything.

Ms. Hecate did not seem to intend to say too much in the realm of destiny, because it was too far away for ordinary extraordinary people.

Just like Sean couldn't understand the butcher's power, the other party's concept was beyond his comprehension.

In contrast, the extraordinary people he met in the real world, although their abilities were strange and powerful, could be traced and at least partially understood.

"There are limits to the transcendental nature that the mortal body and soul can withstand."

Lady Hecate turned around, stared at Sean in front of her and said, "Similarly, there is a limit to the pollution and madness that a mortal's will and spirit can withstand."

“This is the shackles of the world.”

Two stone scales with countless silver runes appeared in front of Xiao En. Lady Hecate whispered: "This is the limit of the extraordinary nature that mortals can bear. This is the limit of the pollution and madness that mortals can bear."

"Using the promotion sequence of the turbulent era, these scales of extraordinary nature represent the upper limit of 20 career levels." The scale on the left has one hundred, and the scale on the right has only twenty.

A scale appears in front of the scale.

Soon after, Lady Herata's banshee maids brought in one strange creation after another, including wriggling flesh and blood organs, obscure swirling gray fog, surrounding lightning balls, blooming withered flowers, and so on. These were all extremely strange and extraordinary relics, and were also the source of power for the promotion of many extraordinary people.

They all come from those monsters in the weird kingdom.

"This is you."

Ms. Hecate gently stroked her finger, and an invisible, twisting tentacle of energy fell into the scale, and the scale representing the extraordinary essence immediately rose one level.

Similarly, on another scale, the scale representing madness and pollution is also slowly rising.

"This is the orc you met today."

Lady Hecate reached out and wiped away the extraordinary relic on the scale. The invisible hand placed a mass of wriggling flesh and blood organs into the scale. Its weight was three scales, and the scale representing pollution and madness was also constantly increasing.

This extraordinary relic is even more polluted and crazy, as there are dark green marks spreading on the scale, which represent the genetic sequence of non-human races.

Lady Hecate gently twisted a ball of shadowy eye stems, stared at Sean, and placed it on the scales.

Two completely different extraordinary relics are merging!
The scale representing the extraordinary essence rose to four scales, while on the other side, the scale symbolizing pollution and madness began to soar. In the process of the fusion of the two extraordinary relics, it directly soared to a scale value of more than ninety.

Finally, with a loud bang, the two extraordinary relics exploded into a pool of indescribable, wriggling flesh and blood.

"This is what happens when a transcendent loses control," Ms. Hecate said calmly.

She waved her hand to signal the banshee attendants to clean up the exploded pieces of flesh and blood. They were crawling all over the ground like maggots in minced meat. The lady said softly, "Most extraordinary people, if they do not intend to embark on the path of destiny, just need to digest as much extraordinary essence as possible within their own tolerance."

"It would be best if it were the same mythical path and a similar promotion sequence."

“It would reduce the madness and pollution.”

Pollution represents the flesh, madness represents the spirit.

On the scale that represented Xiao En's loss of control, the trace extending from it was purple, a mysterious and obscure trace, while the pollution scale extending from the out-of-control orc today was red, with a section that was dark green, just like the dark green blood that flowed from him.

Xiao En pondered for a long time, raised his head, stared at Ms. Hecate in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "What if the extraordinary wants to embark on the path of destiny?"

A hint of appreciation appeared in Lady Hecate's eyes, and she smiled and said, "Then you must strive for perfection."

"As a perfect mortal, I welcome the [Gift of the World] and face the ancient indescribable things!"

success.

Embark on the road of destiny and touch the essence of the twelve mythical paths.

failure.

They become food for the strange beings in the weird kingdom, because they also desire the extraordinary essence, to be promoted to a higher existence, or even to become the new "Old Day".

“And all of this requires knowledge.”

“It’s a huge amount of knowledge.”

He needed to know the essence of the power contained in each extraordinary relic, how to combine extraordinary essences of different sequences to make himself stronger, how to suppress pollution and madness so that he would not lose control and explode into an indescribable monster of flesh and blood, and so on.

Within the extraordinary nature of these twenty professional scales, he would only be qualified to embark on the path of destiny if he approached 'perfection'.

To survive!
If you blindly upgrade your sequence level, it is possible that the faster you upgrade, the faster you die.

Because the table is full of ancient and indescribable things!

Ms. Hecate was obviously worried that Sean had absorbed and digested other supernatural sequences unconsciously or consciously, so she entered his nightmare directly tonight and taught him the mysterious knowledge about the promotion of supernatural beings.

This may be the mysterious knowledge that other extraordinary people will never know in their lifetime, because only those who have insight into the essence of the world are qualified to know it all.

Ms. Hecate wanted Sean to sit at the table, not be served directly.

Xiao En bowed his head respectfully and said, "Thank you, teacher."

No matter what those people in Weird Country want, Ms. Hecate is indeed doing her best to be a good teacher.
