"Theoretically, that's correct, but it's not the ultimate goal of a Travel Mage." Tu Men shook his head.
"You know that after achieving the three-level power system, some people can enlighten an element to become incomparably powerful. But you might not know that after enlightening an element, the next stage of strength is the Perfect Body, from Black Iron to Gold. The final step, however, is to pursue the Power of Existence, which only exists in legends."
"You know, fire is an element. Its upper-level manifestation is the Fire Element because the Fire Element is the origin of all fire in this world. But in fact, there has always been a rumor that above the Fire Element, there is an even higher-level element, which we call 'substance.'"
"Elements such as 'substance,' 'time,' 'space,' and even 'logic,' 'strength' itself, which represent the fundamental meanings of the profound world, we refer to them all as the Power of Existence."
Brand stared at Tu Men, speechless for a moment. He certainly knew about the Perfect Body because he had already gone through that stage in the past game—Level 130, the Silver Body. He had also heard of the Power of Existence, but the rumor was that after reaching Level 160, completing the Golden Body, experience would no longer progress; no one knew how to break through that final barrier to reach that almost just-a-step-away—Power of Existence.
None of them had thought that there was actually such a path.
"You mean," he couldn't help but ask stammeringly, "a Travel Mage can eventually reach the Power of Existence?"
Tu Men nodded and pointed at the card, "When you perfect your 'World,' when this 'rule' can be self-consistent, the gate to the Power of Existence will open. Of course, before that, you still have to undergo a long journey," Tu Men seemed to notice Brand's determination and continued, "starting from constructing your most basic card deck."
"How do I do that?" Brand asked instinctively.
"Actually, since you first touched a Destiny Card, you had already revealed your Fate Card Deck. But I find it strange, your deck is different from any I've ever seen, it seems to express a vast profession system through the deck. I don't understand why you are interested in the profession system, and what's the idea behind this 'All Professions Dominance'—what does that mean?" Tu Men pondered for a moment and asked somewhat puzzled. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ noⅴelfire.net
Brand, upon hearing this, couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. The first time he touched a Destiny Card, he was still Su's soul. As a professional player, it was instinctive for him to think of choosing a powerful profession, and honestly, which player doesn't have a dream of mastering all professions? Unexpectedly, this instinct was precisely captured by the Destiny Card.
He now realized what the opening of the Knight's Path meant...
Holy shit! Brand shouted in his heart. If the cards represent a worldview, does that mean he really has to dominate all professions this time?
(PS: Just got back from visiting graves. I wasn't home for the past two days. Starting from tomorrow, I will resume the regular updates and make up for the word count I owe from the past week. This chapter roughly has 7,000 words, so I'm not splitting it into different parts to avoid inconvenience in reading.
Oh, let me complain for a moment. Back in my hometown, while others were eating meat and drinking wine, I could only sit by the table, staring at a whole spread of dishes and eating vegetables and porridge. This New Year really was bleak. Hearing about eating makes me want to die now. Since I didn't have much time, this chapter was written over yesterday and today. I'm not used to using a notebook, and I didn't have any resources on hand, so I don't know if there will be any issues.) (To be continued.
