Chapter 608: Earthly Esoteric Cult
A long while.
It wasn't until his body felt uncomfortable and his head ached that Chen Lun slowly stood up, left the White Throne, and walked down the steps.
The White Throne is the embodiment of "not returning home". Whenever Chen Lun sits on it, he can experience the overlooking feeling of being in control of everything. He enjoys this feeling very much and can also use this feeling to do many things. .
Like thinking completely uninterrupted.
Even like the omniscient true god, any divination, whether it is clues or information, can be obtained in this way, and the authenticity is extremely high.
Chen Lun stood on Tianyuan, feeling the gentle breeze of the old spiritual world.
He had never felt so peaceful.
Even though he knew very well that the battle in the spiritual world was just a prelude, and the real malice from the father had not yet come...
Chen Lun glanced at Maggie, who was napping under the sacred tree, and let out a long breath.
He slowly took out a mahogany music box.
[Unknown Token-Era Eternal’s Music Box]
This is a mysterious item obtained from Sigmund, the Clown of Destiny, after he hunted him down.
Chen Lun was wary of this unknown token at the time, so he didn't do too much research on it.
But now he has no fear at all.
With a soft snapping sound, Chen Lun opened the lid.
A male doll is revealed inside.
It has no facial features, stands upright, wears a striped white suit, and has a scarlet tie hanging on its chest.
No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel weird.
Chen Lun looked calm and slowly twisted the spring on the right side of the box.
Kakaka——
After twisting ten times and reaching the limit, he let go.
A soothing and crisp tinkling sound sounded, and the tune was quite weird. Listening to it can't help but make people think about it. When you close your eyes, you seem to be able to see a ball of fire swaying and dancing in the darkness.
The red tie puppet in the middle of the music box moved.
No, to be precise, it came alive.
A pair of three-dimensional facial features slowly appeared on the originally faceless face. After opening his eyes and seeing Chen Lun, the man showed a hearty smile.
His straight white teeth contrasted with his dark skin.
Impressive.
The man touched his chest and bent down, saluted Chen Lun, and then said:
"Dear Lord of the Spirit World, King of Blue Clothes, His Majesty Jack Spate, it is an honor to meet you..."
Chen Lun narrowed his eyes slightly.
He didn't expect that the puppet in his hand actually recognized him.
"Who are you?"
Chen Lun asked lightly.
The hearty smile on the man's face with the red tie seemed to remain unchanged forever, and he answered:
"My dear Knight Sofitel, you can call me Knight. Of course, I have had many names over the centuries, such as 'The Invincible', 'The Eternal Wanderer' and 'The Great Communicator', etc. Of course, one of my favorite names is 'Era Eternal'..."
"'Apotheosis' Knight Sofitel."
Chen Lun repeated the name.
He always feels that this guy is very strange. Since he has lived for several epochs, it proves that he is at least an angel...
But Chen Lun had never heard of this name.
And his intuition told him that this guy was anything but simple.
Knight caressed his chest and lowered his head in response.
Chen Lun thought for a while, decided to show the other party corresponding respect, and said:
"Your Majesty Knight, I wonder what the purpose of this token is?"
"Dear King of Blue Clothes, this is the ticket to the 'Earthly Esoteric Cult'..."
Knight explained with a smile.
"Earthly Esotericism?"
Chen Lun felt strange again.
"Yes, this is an ancient organization. There is no hierarchy within the organization. Members get along with each other in the form of mutual assistance. The rules are loose and quite free... Of course, for this reason, the conditions for members to join will be relatively stringent. Only recommendations from internal members will be accepted. , and requires half of the approval to enter. ”
Knight explained.
Chen Lun looked at him, thought for a few seconds and asked:
"Who are the members of the 'Earthly Esoteric Cult'?"
"I'm really sorry, Your Majesty the King of Blue Clothes, the identity information of the members is confidential. Please forgive me for not revealing it... However, the Earthly Secret Cult has been born since the end of the Second Era, and most of its members are ancient beings."
Knight chuckled softly.
Chen Lun's eyes narrowed.
Ancient existence...
Ancient God!
The Earthly Esoteric Cult is the secret organization of the ancient gods!
"It seems that Knight is also an ancient god."
Chen Lun took a deep look at the little man on the music box and said in a deep voice.
Unexpectedly, Knight Sofitel shook his head in denial.
"No, no, no, I am not an ancient god... I am just a humble messenger of a great existence, and I also serve as the disseminator of the 'Earthly Secret Cult'."
While Chen Lun was still secretly guessing which god the so-called "great being" in his mouth was, Knight said again:
"I wonder if Your Majesty Jack is interested in joining the 'Earthly Esoteric Cult'? I can make a decision and make a recommendation for you... I have heard about your great reputation recently. I believe that the members of the Earthly Esoteric Cult will be interested in you. Maybe, in Will it help you in the fight against the empire?”
Chen Lun thought for a while, and it didn't seem like a bad thing to get in touch with those ancient gods.
Anyway, with his current strength and trump cards, he has enough confidence and qualifications to talk to the ancient gods.
"Then please let Knight crown me."
Chen Lun nodded.
"You're welcome, it's my duty."
Knight Sofitel stroked her chest and saluted again.
At this moment, the tinkling sound from the music box stopped abruptly, the man in the red tie's movements became stiff and frozen, and the original vividness disappeared.

This world.
Night falls.
The purple moon hangs high, splashing with tranquil moonlight.
However, within the empire, countless residents raised their heads and were shocked to find that the moon tonight was exceptionally round and bright, while the stars that should have been bright were dim.
Almost at the same time.
There are a total of 132 main cities in the seven kingdoms of the empire, and all the wonder buildings "Day Obelisk" standing in the Church of the Sun area trembled.
A buzzing sound resounded throughout the country.
Ordinary civilians and even powerful and wealthy businessmen are puzzled by this.
Immediately afterwards, all the obelisks pointing straight into the sky emitted strong white light, reflecting each other in the night.
If you look down, you can see that the entire empire is shining, and each daytime obelisk is like the most dazzling node, connected to each other, seeming to form a strange array with an outer circle nested in an inverted triangle.
Gem State Amber City.
Pompeii Estate.
On the lawn outside the courtyard, Viscount Pompeii and Mr. Siebert were drinking and chatting.
The two have long since buried the hatchet and resumed their friendship as friends and comrades-in-arms.
"Speaking of little Rebecca, she must be twenty-one years old this year, right?"
Siebert took a sip of wine and asked casually.
The fat Viscount Pompeii smiled and nodded, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Yes, in the blink of an eye, this little girl has grown so big... The birthday dinner of the coming-of-age ceremony seemed like just yesterday, when the great Crown Prince Jack was Rebecca's tutor."
"Okay Pompeii, you've said this hundreds of times, I don't want to hear you show off anymore."
Siebert laughed and cursed.
Pompeii glared and pointed at the other person with the hand holding the cup.
"It is a fact, not a show off, that Rebecca is a student of mythical beings..."
"I also have the sword used by His Majesty Jack in my home!"
Seeing this, Siebert retorted unwillingly.
The two bickered with each other, and after a moment, laughed again.
"Oh, I really didn't expect that we could have friendship with such great beings..."
Pompeii shook his head and sighed.
He didn't know what he thought of and sighed again.
"It's a pity that Rebecca can't forget Him. No matter how her mother persuades her, it doesn't work. But the little girl doesn't understand at all. This is just a dream that can never be realized..."
"Speaking of which, the same goes for Miss Rey, the granddaughter of the old General Maledice."
Siebert whispered.
The two of them were silent for a moment, and they both knew what high-ranking people meant in this world... Let alone nobles, even if they were members of the royal family, it was meaningless in the face of the existence of myths.
After a hundred years, mortals have long been reduced to withered bones.
And they are still shining brightly.
"Sibert, I heard that the old general is not in good health recently. Do you know what's going on?"
Pompeii changed the subject and asked.
But after a while, he didn't hear his friend's answer and couldn't help but look at him in confusion.
Immediately, he was slightly stunned.
Because Siebert was keeping his head raised, raising his hands to cover his eyes, but his eyes were staring at the purple moon in the night.
"Sibert? Siebert!"
Pompeii called twice, but received no response, and gradually realized that something was wrong.
He stood up, quickly came to his friend's side, shook his shoulder, and tried to wake him up.
However, I could only faintly hear Siebert murmuring:
"What a dazzling sunshine, Pompeii, have you seen it?"
"Sunshine? What sunshine? It's night and you're drunk, Siebert..."
"I'm sure I'm not drunk, Pompeii, it's true, the sun is so dazzling... it's so hot, my skin is so hot, help me, Pompeii, help me."
Siebert's face showed pain and he fell to the ground slurring his words.
As if the scorching sunlight was really scorching him, his whole body curled up, his skin turned red and purple, and even countless blisters appeared.
Pompeii looked at this scene and felt his hair standing on end.
It was obviously still winter and it was night, so everything Siebert said and felt was very weird. Pompeii immediately thought that his friend was suffering from some illness.
But he quickly rejected the idea.
"It's a mysterious incident!"
Pompeii took a deep breath.
"Sibert, hold on, I'll notify the shelter..."
He turned around and ran towards the villa, intending to ask the old butler Binozzi to prepare the carriage, but not far away, there was a muffled sound behind him.
Pompeii turned around, his expression blank.
The former comrades and friends had exploded into a ball of blood foam, and the high temperature even caused their remains to emit thick steam...
This scene is not just one corner, it is happening all over the empire at the same time.
Whether they were common people, the middle class, or powerful and wealthy businessmen, countless people stared at the purple moon that night, and were later "sunbaked" by the light.
Of course, a very small number of them have undergone mutations and have been successfully promoted to become extraordinary people of the Sun Path...
But these people are also crazy. (End of chapter)
