Chapter 1674: The Fire Walker
"Since that's the case, why don't you stay in the Belmont family's migration place to digest divinity, but come to this ghost place to investigate the case? The divine aura on your body feels a little out of control. This is not a good phenomenon." After listening to Sylvia's narrative, Leo compared the physical condition of Sylvia that he sensed at the moment and found that the divinity dissipated on Sylvia's body made her as eye-catching as a big light bulb. This is obviously because she has not digested the divinity and is still in the adaptation stage. She shouldn't be walking around.
However, Sylvia shook her head when she heard this, and said, "I know very well what I am doing, so I came here to solve the problem. After all, abyss creatures are not everywhere." As she said that, she seemed to think of something again, smiled, and said, "Actually, I was thinking at first that if I didn't find any abyss creatures here, I would go to the New World. After all, there is a supreme person who is imprisoned there, which is very suitable to be the cornerstone of my abyss bloodline. But now it seems that there is no need to go to the New World again. There are enough abyss creatures in the polar mountains to use."
After hearing Sylvia's question, Leo was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you want to develop the bloodline of the abyss on your body?"
Sylvia nodded.
"Why? Is the direction of improvement we set before wrong? Or is there any other reason?" Leo said inexplicably.
Previously, Leo had discussed with Sylvia about the direction of her strength improvement. At that time, both of them thought that they should suppress the power of the abyss and enhance Sylvia's own bloodline power. They did so later. The situation also developed as they thought. At least from now on, Sylvia's strength has been improved very smoothly. It is just around the corner to advance to the higher life form equivalent to a level nine psychic. As for whether they can overcome that hurdle and complete the sublimation of life transformation, they will have to be lucky.
However, now Sylvia wants to change this effective evolution method and instead try to develop the power of the abyss that is to be suppressed. This made Leo puzzled and he couldn't help but wonder if Sylvia was bewitched by some abyss. You should know that when it comes to bewitching people's hearts, the abyss is the most professional.
"No, the method we formulated was not wrong, and I was not bewitched," Sylvia explained, eliminating Leo's doubts and said, "In fact, everything went smoothly, even more smoothly than we expected. Especially after I absorbed the two newly obtained divinities, I already felt the mystery of the gods, and the improvement of life is also changing every day. Even if I do nothing, the life form is gradually transforming and evolving. As long as I continue to improve, I believe that I can ignite the divine fire and become a god."
Leo asked, "Since that's the case, why are you..."
"But is that me still me?" Sylvia suddenly raised a philosophical question.
After hearing this, Leo didn't know how to answer for a moment, because his current way of thinking was all focused on logical thinking, and such philosophical thinking, which sounds sensible, completely beyond his ability to answer.
However, Sylvia did not seem to want Leo to answer this question. She said in her own question and answer: "In fact, after absorbing the remaining divine nature in the two skeletons, my life form could have taken a step forward as we expected to enter the life form of the ninth level psychic who you mentioned, but I did not take that step, but suppressed the divine nature and caused the improvement of life, and even let the excess divine nature of the body escape like now." As she said, she paused for a moment and continued: "The reason why I am like this is because if I enter that life form, I will definitely need to purify my life in order to continue to improve. If I do this, the abyss bloodline on my body will inevitably be removed, and it is possible that the bloodline of the witch's power will be eliminated, and what is left is the power generated by the divine nature. Do you think I will be me at that time?"
Leo did not answer because he knew that his answer would definitely not satisfy Sylvia. In his opinion, as long as it is the origin of the mind or his own, no matter how the power changes, or even if the body turns back, it is still the same as his core power has gradually transformed from a psychic energy to a stone throne. In the future, as the stone throne continues to be repaired, other forces will definitely be absorbed or expelled by the stone throne. By then, he does not think that he is no longer himself, because the origin of his mind has not changed.
Leo knew that perhaps his idea was not correct, and it was more likely that he had been affected by his past experience. After all, he still couldn't figure out whether he was a biochemical warrior from the Earth Federation in the past, and what else was there, whether his current body was his or the Leo Dodd's former one. Therefore, his ideas and cognition were too lonely and had no reference value at all, so naturally he could not give any advice to Sylvia.
Since he could not give any useful advice, Leo could only use his own abilities to help Sylvia complete her ideas and help Sylvia solve some problems if necessary. So he asked directly: "What are you planning to do next?"
Sylvia did not hide it, and told her general thoughts, "Find the abyss creatures, extract and absorb their abyss origins, so that my abyss power can be improved. When I have enough balanced divine power, I will then increase the witch's power. Then let the three forces remain balanced, and at the same time use the three forces to promote the evolution of life, so that I should be able to preserve my complete state."
Leo thought seriously and reminded: "This will be very difficult, especially the improvement of the witch's power can only depend on you. There is no other way to take advantage of it. Perhaps you may be trapped in your current life form for the rest of your life."
"I know." Sylvia responded briefly.
"What do I need to do?" Since Sylvia has other considerations, Leo can only put his next itinerary plan down and wait until Sylvia's problem is resolved before continuing the itinerary plan, heading to the Tree Sea World where other fragments of the stone throne may exist, or heading to the subspace of the Tower Wizard Academy.
Sylvia thought seriously and said, "You don't need to interfere in the matter here, I can solve it myself, but there is something you may need to investigate."
Leo asked, "What's the matter?"
"Help me find a high-level abyss hidden in the mountains of the polar regions." Sylvia said with a solemn expression: "When I was flipping through the information, I discovered an existence that might be a high-level abyss. Do you know Polostein, one of the seven sages of the Spirit of Knowledge?"
Leo was stunned, nodded, and said, "I know, and I also know that Polostein's reputation in the polar mountains is not very good. You just ordered those people to collect Polostein's information for this reason. He is what you call the abyss? "
Sylvia shook her head and said, "No, Polostein is just a normal church missionary. The abyss I mentioned may be Polostein's follower and lover Perunia, the fire-stepper."
While Sylvia mentioned this name, information about Perunia, the fire stepper appeared in Leo's mind.
Compared to Polostein's notoriety, Perunya, the fire-breaker, is much better in the polar mountains. Even though her reputation is affected by Polostein's reputation, her reputation is still positive overall. There is even a fire-breaker festival named after her famous city in some cities.
Perunia was born in an ordinary mountain tribe. In a war, her tribe was annihilated by other tribes, and she became a slave and sold to a shaman family in a nearby city. The reason why that shaman family bought Perunia was because they saw that Perunia was a natural affinity and could become an excellent shaman with just a little training.
Afterwards, Perunya became a shaman very smoothly, and got rid of her slaves' hometown. She also performed ten years of barefoot asceticism according to the most stringent shamanic practice, so she was respected by many people in the polar mountains.
The reason why she is called a fire stepper is that when she was doing ascetic, she happened to encounter a large volcanic eruption. There were almost no such volcanic eruptions in the polar mountains, so the people nearby were completely caught off guard. Most tribes that were very close to the volcano didn't even have time to hide, so they were flooded by mudslides rolling down the volcano, and the lava of the volcano also moved quickly under the push of mudslides.
At that time, a town far away from the volcano thought it would not be affected, so the people in the town did not escape. It was not until the volcanic lava flowed by, and they discovered the seriousness of the matter. It was just that they wanted to leave at that time, because two lava flows just surrounded the town, and a stream of lava was slowly advancing, which seemed to be completely swallowing the town.
Perunia, who was doing ascetic barefoot at that time, jumped directly into the boiling lava flow, stepped on the flame-burning lava, entered the town, and then carried the people from the town one by one through the lava flow and came to a safe place.
Although Perunya was unable to save everyone in the end, nearly half of the townspeople died in the lava, her behavior was already a feat. The fact that she stepped on the lava flow barefoot and was not injured was also regarded as a gift of nature. After this incident, she became famous. After ten years of barefoot asceticism, she became the recognized great shaman at that time and was also awarded the title of Fire Stepper.
When everyone originally thought Perunya would establish her shaman family, she did something that shocked everyone. She became a follower of Polostein, a missionary of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge, and went with Polostein to various cities, towns and tribes in the mountains to spread the belief of the Spirit of Knowledge.
Although many people thought that Perunia was a betrayer at that time, especially those shamans who advocated the power of nature were even more clamoring to deprive Perunia of her great shaman name, after a while they found that even though Perunia helped Polostein spread the belief of the Spirit of Knowledge, the shaman power she possessed did not weaken, but instead became stronger. In several assassinations against Polostein, she turned the tide with her own shaman power, and the power she showed was also considered to be the strongest among all shamans at that time. The reason for saying this was that two great shamans died directly at her hands. If such a record was not called the strongest, then there would be no strongest.
The polar mountains may very much resist the spread of faith in the True God Church, but they also admire the strong. Even if the strong man like Perunya assisted Polostein in preaching, the people in the polar mountains also respected this powerful shaman very much. This is the main reason why Polostein was able to open up in various cities in the polar mountains.
Later, the incident of Polostein broke out, and Peruhinia also left Polostein and entered the mountains and no one saw her again, so Polostein was caught and sent to Movit Road to be executed. Otherwise, with Peruhinia's protection, Polostein would be difficult to be convicted, and would not be executed in such an open manner.
Most people at that time believed that Perunia did not know that Polostein's actions were deceived by Polostein. Otherwise, Perunia would not have left Polostein after the incident was exposed and completely disappeared from people's sight. It was obviously a shameful act of escaping the world. Therefore, even though Perunia added a stain on his reputation in Polostein's incident, it did not have a great impact on his reputation. Until now, many people still believe that Perunia is the most powerful shaman ever.
Compared with Polostein's information, there are more Perunia-related information recorded in the Leo database. There are more than fifty biographies written by others for him, among which more than were written by the Church of Knowledge. It seems that the Church of Knowledge wants to use Perunia's belief in the Spirit of Knowledge to continue preaching. Although the practice is questionable, the effect is indeed good. At least in the current polar mountains, the belief of the Church of Knowledge is the most stable faith in the Church of True God.
However, among all the materials, the most are folk stories written by various cities in the polar mountains. These stories are some of the things Perunia did during her ten years of barefoot asceticism. They became legendary stories after artistic processing. These legendary folk stories made Perunia's reputation lasting for hundreds of years.
"Why do you think she is a superior abyss?" Leo did not see anything suspicious about Perunia from these materials, nor did he see any behavioral patterns of abyss creatures, so he couldn't help but ask Sylvia in confusion.
"Tocatni." Sylvia did not give any long explanation, but simply used his abyss blood power to imitate the vocal structure of the abyss creatures and said a name in the abyss language.
Leo, who has part of the memory of the Abyss Snake, can naturally understand this special language and understand what the name represents. After thinking about it carefully, a sudden look on his face also appeared.
