Chapter 61 A New Level of Excellence Among All Wonders

"curse?"

Oz looked at the brilliance in Sieg's hand and asked.

"Yes, this is a binding curse. Once you accept it, you must comply with my demands, or your life will be in danger. Rest assured, I advocate fairness and will not make overly harsh demands."

Sieg spoke in a calm tone.

Oz was already somewhat displeased: "You want to control me?"

"It's just an equal exchange. The answer you asked for is priceless, so paying a small price for it is not harsh at all."

"..."

Oz looked at the strange black-robed man in front of him, unsure of what to do.

The fact that this "Master of the Fire Palace" dares to make such a request suggests that he may indeed possess something special.

She was well aware, of course, that the path she had chosen would be fraught with difficulties.

The path to godhood is a secret beyond secrets; even a powerful figure might not be able to master a complete path.

The [fusion path] requires the sequencer to simultaneously enter three paths.

Planning ahead is impossible, and subsequent developments cannot be predicted. "Sequence 1 of Fusion" is not difficult, but Sequence 2 and Sequence 3 will inevitably be full of pitfalls, causing head injuries and bloodshed, and most likely all efforts will be in vain.

Oz had no way out.

She has been targeted by a powerful figure, and only by embarking on the path of fusion can she escape the all-pervasive surveillance and search of the "Sky-Patrolling Ghost Chariot" and the "Earth-Penetrating Maggots" and truly break free from the "painting".

if--

If the Lord of the Fire Palace truly has a mature and reliable plan, that would be of great help to her!

Oz showed no emotion: "An interesting point. But Lord of the Fire, how can I know your answer will satisfy me?"

"Good question. I can answer you first; your abilities are worthy of my respect."

Sieg picked up a pen and paper from the round table and wrote something on it: "The most difficult part of the path to ascension is choosing the right one. Every path to godhood has its own characteristics, and utilizing those characteristics can make it easier for you to succeed. I recommend these three paths."

He pushed the paper in front of Oz.

Oz looked down and read, and saw the names of three pathways:

[Everyone's Pathway]

[Pathways to Destruction]

[Heterogeneous pathway].

Oz, puzzled, asked, "Could you explain your reasoning, Lord of the Fire Palace... Your Excellency?"

"The first recommendation is the Renren approach, because the Renren approach has two major characteristics."

"First, the number of seats is fixed. From sequence one to sequence nine, the number of seats available to everyone is fixed at one thousand;"

"Secondly, power feedback. Individuals in the Human Sequence can draw power from other individuals in the Human Sequence."

Sieg smiled and said, "With these two characteristics, the Sequencers of the Human Path are the most united and friendly group among their peers. A master like you can give back a lot of power to other Sequencers, so they will not only not ostracize you, but will also rush to help you ascend to godhood."

Is this even possible?

Oz was shocked!

She asked, "What about the path of destruction? Why do you recommend the path of destruction?"

Sieg said calmly and coldly, "Because the Destruction Path is the most dangerous path. Destruction Sequence members are keen on killing their own kind; their power increases with each fellow member they kill."

Oz nodded slowly: "I understand. Because I'm strong enough, I'm not afraid of them coming to my door, I'm afraid they won't come to my door, so I'm suitable. And because 'vendettas' exist, there are always vacant spots on this route, making it relatively easy to obtain."

Sieg concluded, "As for my final recommendation of 'Alien,' there's no other reason. Alien-path Sequencers possess irreplaceable functionality, but they don't offer much help in combat... You should understand what I mean."

Oz certainly understood that she was a smart woman.

True powerhouses would never choose a functional path to godhood; they must first ensure their own combat strength, for power is the foundation upon which they stand.

Oz can fill the gaps and seize ecological niches.

She is a world-renowned witch with formidable fighting power. Once she embarks on the path of the alien species, she is engaging in differentiated competition.

At that time.

Organizations, forces, and even kingdoms in need are likely to actively provide assistance, making the path to godhood much easier!

The master of the Fire Palace gave insightful and incisive guidance, which immediately opened up a new situation.

Oz initially thought that she couldn't go very far on the "fusion path"—it was too difficult.

Sequence three?

Sequence four?

It's impossible for it to exceed sequence five in any case.

However, now...

Oz felt that she might be able to complete the entire journey and reach the summit, becoming a Fusion Sequence Nine!

"Truly, the clouds have parted and the sun is shining!"

Oz was completely convinced. She extended her hand and said, "Lord of the Palace of Fire, your knowledge far surpasses my expectations. I apologize for my initial doubts. Now, it's my turn to pay the price. What do you want me to do?"

Sieg raised his hand, once again conjuring a death curse, and placed it on Oz's fair palm: "Take care of yourself, Your Excellency."

The crimson magic surged into his body, circulated, and finally imprinted itself on Oz's right palm.

Take care of yourself. Or die.

The information imprinted on my mind quietly surfaced.

Oz looked up at Sieg with suspicion: "What does this mean?"

"Nothing else, just... a token gesture."

Please explain more clearly.

Oz seemed somewhat uneasy.

The information provided by the Lord of the Fire Palace was of great importance, and what he asked for... no, he asked for nothing at all.

What was sent into her body was less a curse and more a beautiful blessing.

Oz didn't know what he wanted to do.

Sieg laughed, "You pay the price, I give the answer; this is the ironclad law among all wonders, and it's also my rule. However, I don't have any needs for the time being, nor do I want to refuse a true witch, so I'm asking you to 'take care of yourself.'"

"..."

Oz squinted.

She vaguely realized something, but the clues were fleeting and elusive, more frivolous than willow catkins, and she couldn't grasp them for the time being.

Sieg continued, "In a sense, taking care of your health is a difficult thing. No overwork, no heartbreak, plenty of rest, a healthy diet... it's not easy, is it?"

I appreciate your kindness.

Oz stood up: "Well then, Lord of the Palace of Fire, I'll take my leave. I will come again. Next time, please think carefully about what I should pay you. I don't like owing anyone favors."

"I will."

Sieg raised his hand and extinguished the wick of the kerosene lamp: "I look forward to seeing you again, Lord Oz."

……

……

Darkness descended upon all the wonders, and Oz was forcibly expelled.

"call……"

Sieg let out a long breath, and his tense body relaxed.

He took off his hood and realized that his forehead was covered in sweat. Facing Oz again after several years, he felt a little pressured.

I feel fulfilled inside.

"Integration approach", is that right?

Learning of Oz's specific goals inexplicably filled Sieg with...joy. He didn't know where this joy came from.

Sieg turned his head and looked at the system notification on the side:

You now have three followers.

[The myriad wonders can be upgraded.]

Sieg raised his hand and clicked the upgrade button.
