From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

"Without the protection of those gods, even the senior members of the Church could still die at any moment, no more noble than anyone else's life. In people's hearts, power is the only thing that matters."

Chain reaction.

Karno understood what the other party wanted to express, which was that the actions of the Fischer family had caused the Church to no longer be regarded by the two great empires, hence Prime Minister William dared to act against the revered Saint of Sun.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"Primordial Tree, Wisdom." Sagittarius Sage replied.

The next casually spoken sentence shocked Karno immensely, beyond description.

"The suggestion to ambush the Saint of Sun was mine, convincing several Heavenly Enlightenments in a short time was not easy, thankfully I had already laid the groundwork... all that was needed in the end was to awaken them."

"In this world without gods, those several Heavenly Enlightenments should rightfully dominate everything."

"They must redraw the power lines, and that inevitably requires a great war."

"My role is merely to add fuel to the flames."

He slowly stepped forward, looking at Karno and said:

"Your last meal was a croissant, and you drank coffee, with remnants of the sun's warmth still on your body... and right now, your emotions are complex inside, excited, curious, nervous...right, you are thinking about how to lie, but it's needless, because no one can lie in front of me."

"Why?" Karno raised his eyebrows, feeling increasingly uneasy.

"Because my Destiny's Trajectory is 'Insight into the Whole Picture,' there's almost nothing I can't see through." Sagittarius Sage's explanation had already begun before Karno could ask 'why.'

It was as if he had anticipated Karno would ask "why."

Karno fell into deep thought.

He possessed the power of prophecy, but he was unclear whether this man's "Wisdom" was a prophecy, or wisdom, or some other special power.

What exactly was this mysterious man's purpose?

Who exactly was he?

Just as Karno was about to ask, he immediately heard...

Sagittarius Sage suddenly continued, "Next, you're going to ask about my purpose, and who I exactly am."

Karno stopped talking, while Sagittarius Sage continued with a smile.

"The higher-ups of our Primordial Tree are not from the Claud World, but are 'refugees' from a world destroyed by an otherworldly god, you may call our race 'Shadow'... We came to this world as Spiritual Bodies, reincarnating into various Claud people, only recalling everything when 'awakened' by the 'Crown.'"

"Our purpose is simple."

"It's merely to seize all the Extraordinary Power of this world and move to the next... until we find a world extremely suitable for our survival."

Primordial Tree, refugees from another world, Shadow?

Karno felt overwhelmed by the information, but no matter what, he could confirm one thing—this guy in front of him was definitely up to no good!

Suddenly he found himself controlled by some power, completely unable to move as if surrounded by the scent of a flower.

Wait, it seemed that he had also smelled this odor in that space, but when exactly?

Karno fell into contemplation, while Sagittarius Sage continued, extending a finger.

"Besides the power of Bloodline given to me by this elf body, the Forbidden Knowledge I acquired from the Spirit Realm is a special power called 'Left and Right Exchange.'"

"Due to the existence of this Forbidden Knowledge, I can exchange some things for others... mainly on a conceptual level."

"For example, I could trade a part of my lifespan for a part of spiritual power, or trade one of my arms for increased speed, but those are just the most basic uses... ordinary Extraordinary Exponents would stop there."

Sagittarius Sage spread his hands, one hand flashing red, the other blue.

"Right now, I am trading 'information' to 'you' in exchange for my own Bloodline Power to suppress 'you' more... My Bloodline Power is a flower-shaped magic beast that releases spiritual power, although it is not very strong, I must enhance its effect in this way."

Left and Right Exchange.

So that was it, he used this seemingly manipulative power to bring himself back from that space?

However, Karno quickly realized something—it was very possible that Prime Minister William or the "Crown" had placed some kind of mark on him beforehand, allowing the other's power to be effectively exerted.

Sagittarius Sage continued on.

"Next, I want to enter your body, become you, Karno Fischer. My Bloodline Power might not be strong, but its Domain effect is very interesting, really interesting."

Karno was completely stunned.

Soon, many elves playing in the forest stopped.

One by one they came over, then turned to look at Karno, every one of them displaying the same expression and gaze as Sagittarius Sage, not even minutely different.

These people seemed to be manipulated by the same invisible, intangible soul.

Karno realized that the soul controlling them was "Wisdom."

He finally understood that it might be the other's special power; the other might be intending to take over his body, turning him into one of many pawns.
