After a round of coaxing from Leyton, Bugs Bunny finally decided to study. After rummaging through Leyton's study, the fellow grabbed a picture book full of illustrations.
His original words were: "You have to start with the simple things first."
Leyton didn't intend to make things too difficult for him. Anyway, when the time came, he could just ask the Hidden Sage to instill knowledge into him.
Bugs Bunny, who was sitting on the ground flipping through the picture book, suddenly felt a pang in his heart. Startled, he immediately jumped up and looked around several times. Only after confirming that there was no danger did he touch his head and sit down again.
"Beloved of knowledge and wisdom, ancient guardian, eye that sees through the world, sage who sits in the sky, guardian of reason and knowledge."
Leyton leaned against the windowsill and recited the honorific name of the angel of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom in Dragonese.
"Caw!"
A crow with some red feathers on its head, wings, and legs landed on the windowsill opposite Leyton.
"Why are you reciting my honorific name? I almost thought you had encountered Amon again!" the crow said in a hoarse voice.
"I remember you told me before that there were no more avatars of Amon in the entire Madan City."
"As He said, that was not an avatar, so He escaped the gaze of my Lord," the crow also felt that Amon's operation was outrageous and completely unexpected.
Leyton was speechless for a moment. This guy had indeed arrived a long time ago, but he had hidden himself. No wonder Amon was just chatting with himself at the time and didn't try to parasitize or attack himself.
"What do you want me to do?" the crow interrupted Leyton's thoughts.
"I have some questions about the spirit world that I want to ask. I can't find a suitable person, so I can only ask you," Leyton replied simply.
"Spirit world? Can't you just ask your captain or the local bishop?" The crow's tone contained undisguised disgust.
"Maybe, my question is a bit unconventional. I think asking you is the best choice," Leyton said politely.
"What's the question?" The crow was a little curious.
"Today I learned that some of the mutated creatures in the corrupted area are using Beyonder abilities by relying on the spirit world. In other words, is it not necessary to take magic potions to advance in order to use Beyonder abilities?" Leyton asked his question.
"You could say that. The magic potion system is the most complete and mature system, but as you said, it is not only Beyonders who have taken magic potions who can use Beyonder abilities," the crow agreed with Leyton's words.
"For example, some wraiths formed after the death of Beyonders. The Beyonder characteristics on their bodies have already been extracted, but they can still use some Beyonder abilities within their pathways, but they will be weakened accordingly compared to when they were alive," the crow gave an example to explain.
"Wraiths also rely on the spirit world to use their Beyonder abilities from when they were alive?" Leyton asked with certainty.
"Yes," the crow nodded.
Then he continued: "Wraiths have changed the structure of their souls by taking magic potions when they were alive. This allows them to sense the spirit world even after death, and continue to exist by relying on the spirit world, and can use Beyonder abilities."
"Then if ordinary people have this kind of connection with the spirit world, can they also use Beyonder abilities?" Leyton asked further.
"In theory, it is possible."
"But ordinary people's bodies and souls cannot withstand the corruption brought by the spirit world. They will die long before they can leverage the power of the spirit world to use Beyonder abilities."
"The deepest connection between ordinary people and the spirit world is that they can use spirit vision, but at this time, their souls and bodies have already been severely polluted and they may die at any time."
The crow gave a detailed explanation sentence by sentence.
After listening, Leyton felt that his previous ideas were a bit too naive. If it were that easy to allow ordinary people to use Beyonder abilities, the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom would have researched it long ago.
"Why are you suddenly concerned about this kind of thing?" the crow asked curiously.
"I just think this is a direction. If it can be successful, this will be a completely different system from magic potions. Although the upper limit will definitely not reach the level of magic potions, there will be no problems with losing control," Leyton said.
"What is your idea?" Leyton's answer made the angel a little interested.
"Establish a stable connection with the spirit world through special meditation methods, and at the same time improve one's own body with potions prepared from Beyonder ingredients to slowly adapt to the influence brought by establishing a connection with the spirit world."
"If this connection can be gradually strengthened under stable conditions, then in the end, one can use Beyonder abilities by leveraging the power of the spirit world."
Leyton explained his previous ideas to the angel little by little.
"A very interesting idea, but this would be too deeply bound to the spirit world," the crow responded.
"After all, without Beyonder characteristics, there needs to be another stable, huge existence to provide power. And the spirit world is the best choice," Leyton explained the reason for his idea.
"A very good idea, but you need at least Sequence 6 to Sequence 5 to start researching," the crow said, flapping its wings.
"Why?" Leyton was a little puzzled.
"Because only when the basics of the Reader pathway have been reached, can you truly understand Beyonder abilities and this world, and then it is possible to realize your idea," the crow's answer was not very understood by Leyton.
In Leyton's mind, Mystery Pryer or Savant, as the two pathways under the Knowledge Moor, are the biggest confidence for Leyton to create a new extraordinary system.
"Reader and Mystery Pryer have great similarities, but they are not two interchangeable pathways. Do you know that?" The crow continued, seeing that Leyton still didn't understand his words.
"I know," Leyton nodded.
"The Mystery Pryer pathway is more inclined to the knowledge of the mysterious side itself, while the Reader pathway represents the omniscience with 'omniscience and omnipotence'. Compared with knowledge, the meaning of the Reader pathway is more inclined to a conceptual symbol," the crow explained the essential difference between the Mystery Pryer and Reader pathways.
Leyton swallowed. The angel used the Mystery Pryer and Reader pathways to explain, which made Leyton very suspicious that the other party already knew that he had the characteristics of these two pathways.
The crow glanced at Leyton, who had become a little nervous, and continued to speak without asking.
"Being more inclined to a concept of omniscience is the best choice for breaking through from 0 to 1. If you rely on knowledge to achieve your goal, you need to accumulate a lot of knowledge to reach a qualitative change caused by quantitative change."
"If you want to realize your idea, the best choice is to obtain the blessing of my Lord, who represents omniscience."
Leyton felt dazed while listening. He was just asking a question, but in the end, how did the crow say something that made him go to receive the blessing of the God of Knowledge?
"As an angel under the throne of God, can't you represent the will of God?" Leyton asked cautiously.
"The current pontiff of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom can represent the will of God to a certain extent. I can't," the crow said frankly.
Leyton felt that the corners of his eyes were about to twitch. What is the difference between standing in front of the current pontiff of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and standing in front of the God of Knowledge? Moreover, it is impossible for me to have the status and ability to meet the current pontiff.
"I'll pray after I have a mature idea!" Leyton prepared to temporarily give up this idea.
"A wise choice. For you, the most important thing now is to advance upwards," the crow agreed with Leyton's idea.
"Can I ask you to trade characteristics and magic potion formulas when I need to advance later?" Leyton asked smoothly.
"Why do I feel that this sentence is your purpose?" The crow said suspiciously.
"One of the purposes. After all, following the church's process is okay when the sequence is low, but it will become more and more difficult later," Leyton said very honestly.
"If you can give me satisfactory conditions, of course you can. You are the first person who dares to set his sights on the angels of the church," the crow's tone was quite strange.
"Well, the difficulty for the average person to meet an angel is no lower than finding a high-sequence characteristic!" Leyton thought it was normal for him to think this way.
After all, as an angel, the Beyonder characteristics on his body are likely to be many! After taking so many magic potions, there must be times when Beyonder characteristics are used as the main ingredient of magic potions.
