Afternoon.
Wen Qimo sat boredly in the forbidden ruins experiment field, glancing at the time.
"This lad... why hasn't he arrived yet?"
As soon as he spoke, a figure slowly pushed open the door, moving towards him like a zombie...
"Good Lord!" Wen Qimo exclaimed in surprise at the sight of the newcomer. "Qiyue, you... what happened to you?"
With a bruised and swollen face, Lin Qiyue waved his hand dismissively, about to say something, when he stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.
Wen Qimo quickly rushed forward to support him. "Did you spar with the captain?"
"Yes."
"Hmm... it seems your talent is not bad."
Lin Qiyue stared into his eyes. "You call this 'not bad'?"
"When I first sparred with the captain, I was left lying on the training ground for a day and a night before I recovered," Wen Qimo sighed. "Currently, only Hongying can barely hold her own in close combat against the captain."
"I heard Zhao Kongcheng is a master of close combat. Isn't he good enough?"
Wen Qimo fell silent for a moment before slowly speaking. "His sparring with the captain isn't just holding his own; it's more of an even match. Of course, this is under the condition that neither of them uses forbidden ruins."
"Alright..."
Enduring the pain in his body, Lin Qiyue struggled to stand up. If one were to lift his clothes, they would find his body covered in bruises.
Chen Muye's dagger was too fast, too heavy, and too ruthless!
And... he seemed to have no intention of holding back.
"Don't worry, we'll go see Xiaonan for treatment later, and tomorrow morning, you'll be back to getting beaten up again," Wen Qimo comforted him.
Lin Qiyue:...
"Now, let's begin the lesson," Wen Qimo cleared his throat.
Lin Qiyue straightened his body.
"First, let's start with what forbidden ruins are..."
"I already learned this from Zhao Kongcheng."
"Alright, let's talk about divine ruins then..."
"I already know about this too."
"Okay, then let's discuss forbidden ruins generated by objects..."
"I've heard about this."
Wen Qimo:...
"How much did this guy secretly tell you?" Wen Qimo massaged his temples. "What about the sequence of forbidden ruins? Did he mention that?"
"He didn't."
Wen Qimo breathed a sigh of relief and began to explain. "The sequence of forbidden ruins is a classification of the danger level of forbidden ruins by humans, arranged in a sequence from 001 onwards. The higher the sequence, the more dangerous it is."
"Is this similar to divine designations?"
"Not quite. Divine designations represent the order in which humans discovered the deities, unrelated to the deities' own strength or danger level. However, the sequence of forbidden ruins indicates their level of danger."
"I see."
"Forbidden ruins with sequences above 600 are considered 'harmless ruins.' These ruins have minimal effects, at most helping plants grow, killing pests in people's mouths, or even creating instant noodles out of thin air."
"Ruins with sequences from 400 to 599 are classified as 'low-risk ruins.' They have some destructive capabilities but are not overly dangerous. If used properly, they might even have miraculous effects."
"Ruins with sequences from 200 to 399 are 'dangerous ruins,' capable of posing a significant threat to human society and possessing combat abilities."
"Sequences from 90 to 199 are 'high-risk ruins,' capable of causing large-scale threats to human society. Those who possess ruins in this sequence are mostly high-end combatants, such as the captain."
"As for sequences before 89..."
Wen Qimo emphasized, "They are classified as 'ultra-high-risk ruins.' These ruins either have extremely powerful large-scale destructive capabilities or possess unimaginable special abilities. In short, ruins in this sequence are completely beyond the realm of 'human,' capable of destroying an entire city with ease!"
Wen Qimo reiterated, "This is not an exaggeration. Several years ago, a powerful mythical creature appeared in the Northwest Desert with the forbidden ruin sequence 063, known as the 'Rotten Sky Sifter,' nearly burying several nearby cities under a sandstorm. It was only when a special task force arrived that it was finally killed."
Lin Qiyue was stunned. "I remember, Zhao Kongcheng mentioned that his forbidden ruin sequence is 083..."
"Rapid Oblivion Flash," Wen Qimo added. "Ranked as an ultra-high-risk ruin, although it's among the last few, it's still extremely rare. If he truly possessed this ruin from birth, perhaps... he would have joined a special task force early on and become a general."
"These rankings are for forbidden ruins? What about divine ruins?" Lin Qiyue asked curiously.
"Divine ruins are also a type of forbidden ruins, so they are included in the sequence," Wen Qimo paused, casting an envious glance at Lin Qiyue. "Among the top 30 in the sequence, 23 are divine ruins."
"The powers bestowed by the deities are naturally beyond the reach of ordinary humans, both in terms of danger and uniqueness."
"So, you're saying that within the top 30 sequences, there are still seven human ruins?"
"Yes," Wen Qimo's eyes sparkled. "Moreover, among the top five ruins, there is one belonging to a human!"
"Which one?"
"I don't know."
"..."
"Don't look at me like that. I've only been with the Night Watch for a few years. How would I know such confidential information?" Wen Qimo innocently shrugged.
"What about my ruin?" Lin Qiyue pointed to himself. "What sequence is it?"
Wen Qimo glanced at him and spoke softly:
"The divine designation is 003, the realm of the Archangel Michael's divine ruin... called the Realm of Mortal Dust.
The forbidden ruin sequence is also 003."
"The forbidden ruin sequence 003, the Realm of Mortal Dust..." Lin Qiyue murmured to himself.
"But don't get too excited. 003 is the Archangel's ruin sequence, not yours, Lin Qiyue," Wen Qimo added. "Only in the hands of the Archangel is it truly 003.
In the hands of a newcomer like you, who has just stepped into the world of mysteries, its power might only be considered that of a high-risk ruin.
When the day comes in the future, and your realm is high enough to rival that of a deity,
Then, it will be 003."
Lin Qiyue nodded. "I understand."
"By the way, I have one more question."
"Go ahead."
"Is it possible for the same person to become the agent of several different deities?"
"Impossible," Wen Qimo shook his head without hesitation. "At least in human history, there has never been such a precedent."
"I see." Lin Qiyue nodded.
From now on, it was possible.
In addition to the Realm of Mortal Dust bestowed by the Archangel, Lin Qiyue also possessed the Starry Night Dancer from the Goddess of the Night. In a sense, he was the agent of two de
ities.
Of course, this couldn't be revealed for now. If the higher-ups of the Night Watch caught wind of it and decided to study him, he would be in trouble.
At least for now, he was too weak. Perhaps when he became strong enough one day, he wouldn't fear exposure anymore.
"Now that the basic knowledge is covered, let's talk about your ruin. What can you do with the Realm of Mortal Dust in your hands?"
"With me at the center, within a radius of 20 meters, I can perceive everything," Lin Qiyue replied.
"Oh?" Wen Qimo raised an eyebrow. "What color is Hongying's underwear today?"
"White."
In the test field, the two men briefly locked eyes...
And then they both smiled.
