Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

With the subsequent doors opening, they indeed found the statues of the Six Divinities, still in their complete forms—such statues are no longer describable in the current era!

"I suspect that behind the last door is a sculpture of the 'Emperor of Blood,' but the divination shows danger," Tao Yu spoke up.

"That makes some sense, but would the 'Emperor of Blood' be placed together with the Six Divinities?"

"I think all four emperors might be True Gods."

Tao Yu had no particular faith or irreverent thoughts of the sort, so he wasn't bound by such restrictions.

Klein had read many diaries before, but in the past, he had been partially constrained by thoughts regarding the True God. He guessed that the battle of the four emperors was for becoming a god, and that the 'Underworld Emperor' eventually became the God of Death.

Now, suddenly hearing Tao Yu point this out, he too felt an epiphany washing over him.

However, his spirituality reminded him that he could not think any deeper about it—there would be danger!

"Oh, right, don't dwell on this issue anymore, just listen, and don't think too much about it. Contemplating too much could lead to contamination from an unknown place, which can drive you insane."

Tao Yu seemed to recall something after giving his reminder and quickly added more, as if to remedy the situation.

This made both Sharon and Klein shiver inside.

"You think my aura is very evil, right? Knowing what you shouldn't know will be more troublesome than having my type of aura stuffed inside you..."

Tao Yu didn't explicitly explain why he wasn't afraid of the contamination, but after he said this, both Klein and Sharon guessed on their own that Tao Yu was already tainted, so he had some way to resist the contamination.

Seeing the aura of The Underworld on him, they both knew his words were true, the thought of such contamination affecting themselves made their skin crawl.

"Thank you," Klein expressed his gratitude seriously. He had been researching the diaries too, and without Tao Yu's warning, he might have truly fallen into trouble.

"So… shall we continue?"

Klein swallowed; the standards here were much higher than he had anticipated.

It actually involved True Gods, this…

Was it something we Sequence Sixes could even consider?

He glanced at Tao Yu, and combining that with Tao Yu's ability to suppress the offspring of the Evil God made it reasonable to see him as a temporary high-sequence powerhouse.

A lifeline indeed...

"This place is very dangerous, but the danger is constrained; it should be the domain binding of evil spirits."

Sharon, as a Sequence Five Wraith, had a strong perception here and made a judgment about what lay beyond the door.

It roughly meant that as long as they didn't go too deep in, they should be relatively fine.

"Don't worry, we have backups if necessary," Tao Yu said with a smile to Klein, showing an expression that only the two of them knew the secret.

This immediately caused Klein's scalp to tingle.

What do you mean by that expression?

Thinking of how the other party had prayed to him before dealing with the offspring of the Evil God, Klein felt like he was going mad.

You don't think that in trouble, you can ask 'The Great Fool' for help, do you?

The very Mr. Fool from the kid's table is right in front of you...

"Wait, I think at this moment, they can't interfere with us yet."

But before Klein could finish speaking, Tao Yu had already pushed the door open and walked inside…

Klein could only follow quickly with a heavy heart, maintaining his vigilance.

Ah, where did you get such confidence!

Even if it's a revived Divine Spirit, who knows how much power has been restored!

But in reality, Tao Yu's greatest confidence was his own Divinity's suppression over the mental aspect.

Against evil spirits, he possessed an extremely potent targeted attack.

However, the group had only walked a few steps inside with their lanterns before they found the passage completely collapsed, almost blocked.

All that was left was an extremely narrow gap.

Tao Yu activated his spiritual vision and looked inside, where he could see some spiritual radiance.

"There must have been extraordinaries here before, who then died inside," Tao Yu said.

"Hmm, there's also a blood-stained door inside. Good heavens, the blood hasn't dried yet; it's still dripping. Two thousand years already…"

At that moment, Klein, who had been holding the Azik Copper Whistle, suddenly felt a cold and desolate sensation from the whistle.

Azik was once the being that frightened Tao Yu into running away—an Angel, and his copper whistle can sense undead creatures.

"Be careful! It's an evil spirit!"

Just then, a wave of darkness surged forth, and the light from the lanterns was devoured in an instant. Before everyone could react, the darkness had completely engulfed Tao Yu, who was peeking through the small hole.

But the darkness vanished as quickly as it arrived, and soon, the lanterns returned to brightness.

Yet Klein and Sharon watched Tao Yu with guarded and horrified expressions, as if worried he'd been possessed.

"Uh, bad news, an evil spirit has possessed me," Tao Yu said somewhat stiffly, turning his head. The sudden possession had completely suppressed Tao Yu's spiritual warnings, indicating a being of extremely high status.

It even felt higher than the last follower of the Fool!

An evil spirit from Tudor?

"What do we do? Can you still move? Should I drag you out?"

Klein was also somewhat anxious now. He knew Tao Yu might be comparable to a high-sequence being, possibly able to confront the evil spirit, but he didn't know how he could assist.

And Sharon seemed to be hesitating, wondering whether to let herself be possessed as well to see if she could provide any help.

"The good news is there's not much trouble, my specialty gives me strong resistance to evil spirits and possessions. I've trapped it inside me. But the issue now is that I dare not let it out," Tao Yu said with a sense of gravity.

The thing that had come held an extremely high status!

It gave him a sense of being misled as he had been when facing Sun Guangyao.

This thing silently possessed me, flowing into my mental body before I even noticed!

My etheric body, mental body, and astral body were almost completely unresponsive and were breached without any resistance!

Uh, then it was pressed down to the ground by Divinity, trapped inside my own body.

Now it's cursing and swearing inside me.

It could be released, it's actually possible, just by retracting Divinity to open a gap, and it would be out.

Even, I could choose to have Divinity erase it completely, but doing so would be pointless, just like when I was impacted by the Evil God's statue before; Divinity is too domineering, choosing to grind it down wouldn't leave anything behind.

Anyway, it's no threat, just keep it locked for now, see if I can get something out of it...

"Trapped inside your body? You're not going to be possessed by it, are you?"

"I shouldn't be, tsk~, it's a bit troublesome, but I guess it's the malevolent spirit lurking here. I feel there's no danger inside anymore."

Tao Yu hesitated a bit, then said

"Shall I go inside and take out the extraordinary items?" Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

"It's really safe now?"

Klein was a bit worried, then tried to divine the outcome.

But he found that he couldn't divine anything, remembering how he couldn't figure it out over the Gray Fog, he sighed a bit.

However, considering that if even he couldn't see through his fellow countryman's secrets over the Gray Fog, then it might not be impossible for him to trap an evil spirit.

If an evil spirit came to the Gray Fog, he would be somewhat confident too.

"It's really safe now."

Tao Yu responded once again, then began to study the crevice.

"The crevice is small, but I can still get in."

As he spoke, he turned into a shadow and squeezed through the crevice. Soon after, he saw Sharon follow directly through the wall in the form of a wraith, but her face still held a wariness as if she wasn't entirely assured.

"Don't worry, finders keepers, we'll split it together."

Klein had brought the information, and then invited Sharon to help; Tao Yu wouldn't monopolize it.

Or perhaps, he had already vaguely felt that the biggest benefit had already been grabbed by him...

An evil spirit from two thousand years ago, a treasure trove of knowledge...

"I'm not worried about that."

Sharon spoke up.

"If you're worried about me, there's even less need to, although this guy is indeed annoying, but it's still within my range of handling."

Tao Yu began to pick up those extraordinary characteristics.

Then he pushed open the door that was flowing with blood and saw three chairs inside...

"What's going on, why are there three chairs?"

Tao Yu was somewhat surprised; the evil spirit should be inside here. Then he saw another item of interest.

It was a Tarot card, whose imagery was entirely different from other kinds. Seated in the chariot was not a King but a male Priest dressed in a deep red robe.

Moreover, Tao Yu had seen a portrait of this man before, Roselle Gustav!

"Is this one of the twenty-two Tarot cards he created?"

Picking up the card, Tao Yu looked to the back and there, starkly, was the complete sequence formulation for a path!

Sequence Nine 'Hunter'!

Sequence Zero 'Red Priest'...

'Red Priest'

Red Priest uniqueness*1, Red Priest Sequence One characteristics*3

Ritual: Start a war sweeping across the continent and achieve enough victories.

"Uniqueness? Indeed, is there only one True God? And also, it requires three Sequence One characteristics? Why three, only three?!"

Tao Yu looked at the information on the Tarot card, unable to calm his heart for a long time, then he looked again at the three chairs in front of him.

Well, three Sequence One positions?

So he caught three angels of the Red Priest Path at Sequence One?

"Gone mad after jumping to a non-adjacent path? But who helped him catch three angels before he became a god... was He that strong before becoming a god?"

So, could the evil spirit inside me be that of a Sequence One angel?

However, soon after, Tao Yu saw that the evil spirit sealed within him grew two additional mouths on its face and was quarreling and cursing at itself.

Hmm, probably wrong, it's three Sequence One angel spirits fused together.

This left Tao Yu silent for a while.

Why had he, at only Sequence Six, caught three Sequence One angel spirits?

You say you come with extraordinary characteristics, fine, can keep those on hand for myself for now.

But the key issue is these three idiots are just purely evil spirits!

"Someone helped Tudor become a god to maintain the balance of the Four Emperors, as for why they chose those three..."

Even though he had just begun to interact with them, from their mutual quarreling and the curses directed at himself, Tao Yu could vaguely understand.

From what could be seen on the Red Priest card, Sequence Eight is called 'Provoker', somewhat similar to 'Instigator' in a way, but one is overt while the other is covert.

It seems a bit understandable now.

Because the three of them were too noisy, some people, or gods, unified the consensus and caught them for sacrifice.

Oh snap, case closed...

"Shall we take note of this?"

Tao Yu didn't hide it, showing the Tarot card to Sharon as well, and Sharon too was shocked when seeing the contents on the card.

This was a path to godhood!

"There should be nothing left, let's go..."
