Chapter 748: The Charioteer

The Charioteer of the Divine Transporter...

This was not the first time Annan had heard this term. You can track the origins of this material back to n0velbin★

In the past, he had always been somewhat unclear about the difference between the Divine Transporter and the Charioteer.

Before he heard the chants of “Ritual Spell: Trace of Divine Transporter”, Annan had always been referred to as the “Divine Transporter”.

The so-called [Divine Transporter] was the phenomenon of ascendancy ritual transporting people into the Light Realm. “The light of the Divine Transporter” was the light that the soul would see when he ascended into the Light Realm, which was the Seventh Luminary of the sun.

It was not a specific object, but a type of phenomenon.

Just like thunder, lightning, or a storm.

The word “Charioteer” was a derivation that humanized the “Divine Transporter.” It was probably similar to the relationship between “thunder” and “the God of Thunder”... The idea of praying to the “Charioteer” for extra forgiveness and to drive the Divine Transporter to pick oneself up was akin to praying to the Lord of Heaven or the Dragon King for rain.

[TN: Mostly Chinese cultural references to deities.]

Before the birth of the “Book of Divine Transporter”, there was no deity of Divine Transporter in this world, so such prayers served only as psychological comfort.

The Divine Transporter guided all living beings, enabling all things to ascend. It was the most equitable light and the most exalted light, yet it was also an unfeeling light — those who failed won’t get a second chance.

It fabricated the image of the “Charioteer is higher in status than the Divine Transporter” to dilute the terror brought by the Divine Transporter’s unfeeling and just judgment. Simply put, it was like creating concepts of an underworld or netherworld as the afterlife realms to lessen the great fear brought by the unknown of death.

Although Annan was previously referred to as “Divine Transporter” by Mr. Ray and others, after Annan understood the meaning of this term, he perceived himself as the “Charioteer of the Divine Transporter”.

I am a human being. How can I be a Divine Transporter?

If Storm Deity exists, it won’t be Storm itself, but the Storm’s controller...unless he is the Storm’s spirit.

Therefore, when Annan took control of the Book of Divine Transporter, he would be the so-called “Divine Transporter’s Charioteer”.

Although the “Divine Transporter’s Charioteer” did not exist previously, it would exist after Annan completed his ascension!

Annan felt relieved at the thought of being able to criticize like this openly.

But...

Another speculation arose in Annan’s mind.

That was the power of the element of [understanding] — a perceptive, non-reasoning ability to know that went beyond evidence and reasoning, directly reaching conclusions.

“When did the Divine Transporter’s Charioteer die? Specifically? Which era was it? If she is your biological mother, are you a deity’s descendant?”

[The First Age. It was her death that led to the end of the First Age, which was also the end of the Age of Deities.]

Endymion answered without hesitation.

[I was born in the Third Age, (**Muted**) is certainly not my mother. But I am the ‘Child of the Cup.’ My body entirely comes from my father, and my sentient from the Light of the Divine Transporter of the First Age. The ‘Umbilical Cord Ritual’ is among the Gail-holding Lady’s rituals. It’s related to the birth of the Mysterious Lady, a second optimized version of the simplified creation ritual. In the realm linked with many ‘umbilical cords’, only the hatched seeds will possess intelligence, born with inherent knowledge.]

The Umbilical Cord Ritual......

Annan was slightly taken aback, then immediately understood — this ordinary-sounding term referred to the very ritual that created the “World’ Child” by extracting curse energy.

According to Endymion, this seemed to be related to the secret of the Grail. The Mysterious Lady was born from the first sacrifice, and it was that sacrifice that gave desire to the night, life to the mystery, and knowledge to the Grail-holding Lady.

Using the fetus as a medium, absorb power from one place and give it to the other...

—This ritual, which extracted curse energy using a fetus as a medium, wasn’t it exactly like the ascendancy ritual when the Grail-holding Lady was born?!

Endymion continued to transfer knowledge to Annan through the “optical fibers”.

Unfortunately, the next knowledge was a secret that Annan didn’t understand.

[To use the Umbilical Cord Ritual, one must first create a “Child of the Holy Grail”. Although curse energy is the World’s Blood, it cannot be used for the “Child in the Grail” ritual. So if you want to create “the Child of the Holy Grail”, you must have “the Holy Grail” — born in the First Age and before the ascendancy ritual. Before the birth of the ascendancy ritual, it was used to shape the bodies of newly born deities. This is why the ancient deities in the First Age are more powerful than the new deities. It is (**Muted**)’s creation and relic. After (**Muted**) died, the process that continued to operate the Divine Transporter logically on its own is then called the “ascendancy ritual”.]

Endymion revealed the secret about the “ascendancy ritual”.

...I see.

After hearing this secret, Annan suddenly understood the ritual logic of the “umbilical cord ritual”.
