Three days later, the Stone Marrow Pavilion, in the quiet underground.

No, it should be said that it was in the basement below the basement.

Although this broken cellar was only about ten square meters, with Huai Shi's physical strength and various tools, it took more than three days to dig until it was completely finished yesterday.

The inferior air purifier hummed and slowly delivered fresh air, but it still couldn't dispel the stuffiness here, making it even more annoying.

Under the flickering yellow light, Huai Shi, wearing a mask, expressionless, raised the green needle in his hand and walked step by step into the corner.

In the corner, the bound Crow struggled frantically, trembling, with a panicked look.

"To be honest, your help to me has been unpredictable until today..."

Huai Shi grabbed its neck, the syringe pierced, and the green poison slowly pushed into its chest, "Have a good journey, my dear friend."

In an instant, the Crow quickly shriveled up.

As if it had weathered for decades, it dehydrated and shriveled in an instant, leaving only the poisoned source material to rise from the dried corpse like mist, quickly dissipating into the air.

Huai Shi looked at it compassionately, and after a long time, he unceremoniously threw the Crow's body into the trash can in the corner.

"It looks like it was successful."

He turned around and looked at the Crow standing on the table, "What do you think?"

"I told you to try the medicine, can't you stop all this fancy stuff?"

The real Crow glared at him, no, to be honest, Huai Shi didn't know if she was really a Crow, but she looked like one.

"Forget about trying the medicine, you deliberately bought so many Crows back, didn't you!"

"Since I have to try the medicine anyway, why not bring an animal that can make me happy, right?" Huai Shi glanced deeply at the merchandise in front of him, "As for why the test subject looks like you, I can only say you're thinking too much, it's just a coincidence."

"Wow, this scumbag-like tone, you're no longer the innocent and lovely little Huai Shi."

"...So whose fault do you think this is!"

As they bickered, they climbed up the ladder from the basement, closed the door below, and after passing through the disinfection room and several sets of sterilization equipment, Huai Shi finally returned to the basement of the Stone Marrow Pavilion.

The entrance to the cellar had been strictly divided by layers of physical isolation.

It was like a biochemical-level protection.

After returning to the basement, Huai Shi's first reaction was to walk to the corner and look at the wooden bottle placed solemnly in the center of the constant temperature cabinet.

Or rather, the Tree Blood Urn.

The wood grain and scars on the top were already completely different from when he brought it back, and the faces had shifted and overlapped, forming a three-dimensional face that looked very much like Huai Shi, as if it had been carved from above.

It was already eighty percent similar.

If Huai Shi hadn't seen it with his own eyes turning into this, he wouldn't have believed that it was naturally formed.

"It's almost ripe."

The Crow glanced at the bottle and nodded slightly, "Water it every six hours, and it should enter the final stage tonight."

Huai Shi shrugged, took out a knife, and cut his wrist.

The blood, rich in negative energy, slowly flowed from the wound, dripping into the Tree Blood Urn, filling the cup-like groove, and slowly seeping into the wood's texture.

In the sound of fragmented growth, Huai Shi could even see his face on the bottle changing little by little.

More and more like himself.

This was the important prop that the Crow said was crucial for Huai Shi's advancement.

"Rather than saying it's an advancement, it's more like an adjustment before the advancement."

The Crow said mysteriously, "You see, sometimes if you want to sneak into Africa, you have to think of more ways..."

"Sneak into? What sneaking?"

Huai Shi was instinctively alert, "Could it be changing lineages?"

"It's not exactly changing lineages, um, let me think."

After pondering for a moment, the Crow explained, "You already know about the so-called Abyss lineage, which is actually the Heavenly Kingdom lineage laid down by the Astronomy Society... But in reality, the Astronomy Society is just a processor, not a creator, do you understand?

Miracles don't come out of thin air, even if the Astronomy Society is so awesome, even if they can restart the world a dozen times, endlessly overturning the law of conservation of matter, and recreating the universe, they still can't create a real 'miracle' out of thin air."

"Doesn't this count as a miracle?" Huai Shi asked."Then, let's have another basic lesson."

After a pause, Crow said seriously, "Strictly speaking, among scholars, the so-called miracle does not describe supernatural phenomena created by gods or incredible things, but specifically refers to changes that transcend the laws of the world, the direct overflow of instructions and phenomena from the world's axis.

Of course, a large part of this comes from the gods born with the world, but there is still a part... that does not belong to all the gods. Do you understand?"

Huai Shi understood a little, but felt that the topic she was talking about was particularly strange, as if she was hiding something from herself, but it seemed that she was just a little bit away from understanding.

Through a layer of window paper.

"The so-called Heavenly Kingdom lineage, which is now the fallen Abyss lineage, is to transform this part of the miracle into source scriptures through recording and reconstruction," Crow said.

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread.com ].

Seeing that he still looked confused, Crow couldn't help but sigh, "Well, I'll be more straightforward. The Abyss lineage records and inherits what is created by humans."

For a moment, Huai Shi was stunned. "Created by humans?"

"Yes, if it corresponds to the miracles created by the gods, what the Heavenly Kingdom lineage records is the power obtained, driven, controlled, and used by humans over thousands of years, ultimately ending and being recorded by humans," Crow's tone became complex.

"The true meaning of the Heavenly Kingdom lineage is to abandon the dead gods and create a heavenly paradise with human hands. But because of this arrogance, it was called the Abyss lineage after the fall, right? But all of this is too far away from you now.

To be honest, I've never wanted to let you know about these things, but now it seems pointless to keep hiding it. You should have the right to know," Crow looked at him deeply.

In a daze, Huai Shi took out the Book of Fate and looked at its cover in astonishment. After a long time, he stiffly raised his head. "Are you saying... the path and advancement of all Heavenly Kingdom lineage?"

"Yes, that's right," Crow nodded slowly. "In addition to a large number of soul copies, until the 'Ideal Kingdom' completely split, the Heavenly Kingdom lineage developed seventy-seven holy marks and nine complete paths of advancement, all of which were preserved. With the disappearance of the previous chairman, all of this disappeared with the fall of the Heavenly Kingdom.

The remnants of the 'Ideal Kingdom' that have fallen into the Abyss may still have some, but their current situation is not good. They are basically unable to show themselves in the realm. After all, they have been classified as 'destruction elements,' from protecting the world to destroying it. I don't know what those guys from the 'Golden Dawn' are thinking."

Huai Shi's expression had become stiff.

He didn't know what expression to make.

He was now considering whether he had time to pack up and run to a remote border to avoid trouble. If he was found with the Book of Fate... the outcome would definitely be unbearable.

"Don't worry, the heavens know, the earth knows, you know, and I know. Besides, you are just a passerby now. Would anyone know that the Book of Fate is in your hands?" Crow selectively ignored the KP and comforted him, "Moreover, although there are not many people in the Heavenly Kingdom lineage now, there are still some. Even if you don't say that you are from the Heavenly Kingdom lineage, no one can tell, right?"

Huai Shi was already desperate and didn't want to talk to her, but this was related to his future advancement, so he could only continue to look at her, hoping to hear some good news.

"You should have noticed that many times in history, human miracles and divine miracles actually complement each other. The boundary between the two is not as clear as defined, it's just a matter of emphasis," Crow paused and smiled mysteriously. "This sometimes leads to the possibility of overlap between the two."

Huai Shi was stunned for a long time, then suddenly realized and became angry, "This is just a bunch of nonsense!"

"Why are you speaking so harshly? Can you call the official two-five?" Crow said in a loud voice, "This is the FBI!"

"... " Huai Shi was speechless.

"Cough, where was I just now? Oh, two-five..." Crow continued, "From the beginning of its construction, the Heavenly Kingdom lineage has pursued universality and adaptability to hell, almost drawing on all the source scriptures of the Six Great lineages, and gathering the power of all humanity to be able to... uh, complete the construction."Therefore, all basic Holy Marks actually have corresponding prototypes in other lineages. Among the nine paths of ascension, five and a half are reflected in the current Six Great lineages.

In other words, although these paths of ascension carry the essence of the Heavenly Kingdom lineage, they still possess the characteristics and signs of other lineages."

"Why only five and a half?" Huai Shi asked curiously.

"Because there is still half a path that has not been completed, and the previous generation's chairman in charge disappeared..." Crow shrugged, with a mysterious smile. "Anyway, rest assured, as long as you make the right choice in advancing, even though you have the nature of a ruffian, no one can tell on the surface."

After all, the exploration of hell in recent years has not stopped, and newly discovered Holy Marks are common, and each lineage is constantly collecting and organizing them.

Moreover, the Abyss lineage has only fallen, it's not a taboo, and there are still many people wandering around, and no one is calling for their heads.

Although the existence of the Book of Fate is important, as long as Huai Shi can keep the secret, no one will use it against him.

After Crow's explanation, Huai Shi finally relaxed a little.

But there's no way not to worry, the car has already been boarded, and it's too late to jump off now. He only cares about what type of modification Crow wants to make to his illegal car.

"I've been thinking about this issue these days."

Crow sighed, "After all, you will be operating in the border areas of East lineage for a long time. Considering this, and the fact that several paths of ascension belonging to the Yin Soul correspond to the East lineage, we can secure a position with the Social Security Bureau. I took the liberty of doing so.

Participating in the Cooking Demon Grand Prix to obtain the Tree Blood Urn is preparation for this.

Next, we just need to adjust the structure of the Yin Soul slightly, correct it to correspond to the prototype of that path of ascension, and then we can consider the matter of advancement."

Listening to her description, Huai Shi was simply amazed.

So the Yin Soul, this illegal car, can be modified and processed to match at any time.

"Anyway, let's start by hanging the license plate of the East lineage, is that what you mean?"

Huai Shi sighed helplessly, and finally asked, "So which path of ascension is it, and what kind of advancement are we talking about? You should at least tell me that, right?"

"Hmm? Are you in such a hurry? I was planning to give you a surprise."

Crow personified, raising an eyebrow that couldn't be seen, and smiled.

"In East lineage, the 'Holy Mark · Yin Soul' should actually be called 'Ritual Soul', and the person with this miracle is given the mission to serve death.

The corresponding advancement is called 'Mountain Ghost'.

And in the catalog of the Heavenly Kingdom lineage, this path of ascension originating from East lineage is called 'Heavenly Inquiry'."

Heavenly Inquiry?

For a moment, Huai Shi was confused by this trendy name, but then he reacted.

"Wait a minute!"

He widened his eyes. "Mountain Ghost, isn't that a woman?"

Crow didn't say anything, just looked at him.

And smiled.
