Chapter 479: The Truth of the Continent

I don’t know how long it has been, but Karoso felt his soul has been completely restored.

Moreover, he is much stronger than before.

Normally, even with the Blackening Card guiding him, moving this quickly would make his foundation unsteady.

Now, this Acheron has completely strengthened his foundation, allowing him to start over and intertwine the laws within him.

Karoso leaped and jumped straight out of the Acheron.

Looking at the dark sky, Karoso felt a slight sense of familiarity.

Compared to the inside of the Acheron, this dark sky and thick blood mist already seemed better.

Looking at the tall figure of the Death God in the distance, Karoso glanced at the ring in his hand and smiled as he chased after the Flying Dutchman, which was already far ahead.

……

The Flying Dutchman.

『』 stared intently at Tige’s face.

These days, she had tried countless times to assassinate Tige, but all had failed.

『』 had only one way to carry out her assassination, which was to recover her strength, prepare her cards, and then unleash the power of the cards.

It seemed that Tige was also interested in her assassination attempts; no matter how 『』 tried to attack, he didn’t throw her into the Acheron to feed the fish.

Those pirates looked disgusting and awful, but Tige did not let them insult 『』.

Their teasing was limited to words only.

Of course, 『』 also felt that these pirates were a bit afraid of her because she would throw someone into the card if they upset her.

"How is the drawing coming along?" Tige looked silently at 『』. "A Card Maker and a master artist, and you still can’t draw? If you can’t finish it today, you’ll have no dinner tonight."

『』 was suddenly startled.

If she cannot eat here, her strength will not be restored, and she won’t be able to continue the assassination or avenge Karoso.

She calmed her mind and quietly looked at Tige.

Just when she wanted to put pen to paper, she realized she forgot what Tige looked like.

For so many days, 『』 had never successfully drawn Tige’s face, let alone the god.

"Why can’t I draw it…" 『』 frowned.

"Do you really understand painting and sculpting?" Tige mocked.

"Of course!" 『』 glared at Tige, "It must be you who did something!"

"Ha, if I were to do something to you, would I need to do it here?" Tige yawned and said calmly, "Is it really that hard to admit you are useless?"

"You…" 『』 was left speechless.

"To put it simply, after your breakthrough, you won’t be able to use it at all." Tige sneered, "Think carefully about how the ancients carved and painted the gods."

『』 paused for a moment.

She did not know!

"See, your knowledge is too lacking." Tige shook his head, "The true form of the gods would drive anyone below eighth-tier mad, and even those at eighth-tier would forget the gods after seeing them."

"Don’t even mention eighth-tier, even the current ninth-tier can’t remember."

"Haven’t you all received a divine revelation in a long time?"

"Yes." 『』 instinctively nodded; she knew a bit about what Tige was saying.

It was precisely because the divine revelations could not be given, and the gods could not show miracles, that the church’s selfishness had become stronger, no longer following the will of the gods.

However, hearing the message was not a bad thing, because when the gods said to go to war, it must be done.

Moreover, many reasons for the gods to fight are quite ridiculous.

"Hmph, actually, your connection with the gods has already been cut by a certain guy." Tige took out a gold coin and started to play with it in his hand.

"Cut off?" 『』 was taken aback for a moment.

She felt as if she was about to discover a hidden history!

"Hmm, I think I already know what happened up there. It seems that Card God has moved ahead of many gods. When you can’t hear the divine proclamations, it should be when His realm is fully opened."

"In the past, the way to practice was to consume Magic Potions. The powers in those Magic Potions were very mixed and contained many rules. So after taking Magic Potions, it was easy to hear chaotic voices, and the gods could more easily find you through those chaotic powers, to convey Their will."

"These chaotic powers can be both good and bad. The bad side is that they can drive you insane, while the good side is… you know, a long time ago, as long as you reached the fourth tier in Professional training, you wouldn’t go mad seeing the embodiment of a god, unless you saw the true form. And now, don’t even mention the true form; it’s easy to go mad just seeing the embodiment."

『』 shook her head, clearly unaware.

This knowledge could only come from Karoso and Neymar.

"The way you are currently training is as if you are separated from the big world; it is indeed safer, and you are all following the same path. Although your jobs are different, the path is the same, and it will only change when you reach the eighth tier, which happens after understanding the rules."

"Your training method is safer, but without a foundation from the previous seventh tier, it is hard to resonate with the divine."

"You must have stopped hearing it on a large scale in some year, right?"

"Exactly." 『』 nodded.

Her breathing became a bit hurried; she really wanted to know the secret within.

But thinking of Karoso, she buried the secret deep in her heart.

Nothing mattered more than taking revenge for Karoso.

As for the outside people not knowing these truths, what impact could it have?

These things had nothing to do with 『』; she was not someone who cared deeply for the world’s people.

In the past, her world had only Null, and now it is filled only with Null and Karoso.

"Yes, after a certain period of time, your bloodlines have been diluted. You are all descendants of those who drank the Magic Potion. These things are passed down through bloodlines, slowly decreasing until there are not many impurities left."

"Moreover, the opening of the Card God Domain further isolates the sound."

Tige sighed, "This Card God is quite interesting. Theoretically, all of you are followers of the Card God, and all Card Makers are Dependents of the Card God."

"Huh?" 『』 widened her eyes, "Everyone is?"

"Only Card Makers can use the abilities of all professions. What else could Dependents be?" Tige said with a half-smile, "That Card God is playing a big game."

"But most people do not believe in the Card God, they…"

"Even if your hearts do not believe in the Card God, the path you are cultivating is one He has left for you, which will surely reflect back on Him, just not as much as the complete faith does. He values quantity over quality." Tige shook his head, "And the number of Dependents is too high, which also shares the power He has given you."

『』 took a deep breath.

So, this is what our continent is like?

"Alright, even if you didn’t level up by eating Magic Potion, reaching the ninth level still gives you the ability to draw and sculpt the gods’ avatars. It’s just that you’re not part of the church and haven’t learned it," Tige pulled a worn-out book from his pocket and tossed it in front of 『』. "Learn from this, you useless one who can’t even draw well."

Upon hearing the word ‘useless,’ 『』’s previous shock instantly turned into anger…
