Chapter 162 Became Half a Master of the Dark Lodge
A force that felt ethereal and abstract gathered around Raphael.
He felt no pain, only a stronger connection with the lava-filled valley.
It's a strange feeling, like an ordinary employee suddenly becoming the general manager of a company.
The employee did not undergo any physical changes, but in an abstract sense, his status and wealth increased.
Raphael's current situation is similar to that of the employee. He himself has not changed much, but he feels that he has gained some abstract power and connection.
The bright light emanating from the "original" human part, shaped like a white jade bead, gradually dimmed, and Raphael felt the powerful force around his body gradually disappear.
In the valley, the volcanic eruption immediately ceased, and the boiling of the "Source of the Curse" subsided instantly.
"Initially," said, "God had indeed laid some arrangements in the Shadow World before. Heh, luckily his plan to resurrect using the Abyss failed, otherwise, the moment he became the Abyss, he could have continued to contain the Shadow World, becoming half of the Old Ones."
Raphael was even more worried: "Is there any danger in 'God's' arrangement?"
"Initially" replied, "There's no danger before you become an angel, haha, he would never have imagined that one day his spiritual remnants would follow a human into this place."
The white jade-colored sphere shimmered slightly: "When you become a saint, you can use the spiritual remnants of God to suppress God's arrangements."
"Once you become an angel, you will be able to remove all those arrangements."
"I'll teach you the specific methods later."
Raphael nodded; now he believed that the dangers were truly gone.
In the wooden corridor over there, the second "Master of the Dark Lodge" looked at Raphael with his withered eyes: "I feel—you, you seem to be the Dark Lodge now."
Raphael's conversation with "The First" was blocked by "The First," so the second "Master of the Dark Lodge" was unaware of their conversation or the agreement they reached.
Raphael smiled and said, "I was just joking. I won't charge you rent."
The second "Master of the Dark Abode" looked at the white jade bead again: "Could it be that we've misunderstood the direction of our use of the Dark Abode?"
"That's right," Raphael said earnestly. "On the contrary, the method you've developed is brilliant, even groundbreaking!"
Even if the "True Scripture of the Demonic Source" is not used to deal with the corruption of "Dark Abode", if it is simply regarded as a cultivation technique, it can greatly reduce the damage that extraordinary characteristics bring to the spirit and soul of extraordinary individuals.
"That's good." The second "Master of the Dark Lodge" then closed his eyes again.
Raphael asked, "I'd like to experience the connection with the Dark Lodge. Where should I begin?"
"Initially," he said, "You can go to the pavilion over there."
After Raphael entered the wooden pavilion, a tree stump suddenly grew out of the ground, and then a chair back and armrests grew from the stump, and black leaves were added to the outside of the chair.
This wooden chair instantly possesses a rustic and natural beauty.
Raphael said, "I can take that as 'Please sit down.'"
As he spoke, he plopped down on the ground. His spirituality was immediately stirred, and with a slight movement of his hand, the layout of the courtyard changed. The wooden corridor where the four previous "Dark Abode Masters" had sat was moved to the edge of the courtyard, while the pavilion was moved to the front of the "Source of the Curse".
Then, the side of the "Source of the Curse" collapsed, creating a small pit filled with churning lava.
Within the magma, clusters of blue flames burned and flickered incessantly.
Raphael laughed, "I didn't expect this to have an autonomous control system."
He felt that he could accomplish some technical tasks by using spiritual guidance.
The next second, Raphael noticed that there seemed to be some noisy sounds coming from the blue flames.
He asked "Initially": "What were these flames—?"
The initial answer was: "Each flame represents a person's astral body. As long as you extend your spirituality to that person, you can establish a connection with them."
"These people can be roughly divided into three types. The first type is the disciples of the Dark Lodge of the Western Continent. Their power comes from the Dark Lodge, so they have a close connection with the Dark Lodge."
"The second type of people are those who believe in the 'Mother Tree of Desire' on Earth —"
Raphael was taken aback: "The Mother Tree of Desire?" Why is this place connected to their celestial beings?
"Of course, it's because of the existence of the barrier." "Initially" said, "For the 'Mother Tree of Desire' to have an impact on Earth, it needs a certain medium."
The extraordinary characteristics of both the "Shadow World" and the "Bound Ones" pathways, having both been part of the "Mother Tree of Desire," make them the best mediums.
Similarly, people on Earth also need a medium to connect with the Mother Tree of Desire, because the existence of a barrier blocks most of their prayers and supplications.
You can think of the barrier as a glass dome over a fountain, where the water is blocked by the glass dome and falls to the ground.
The prayers and supplications of the followers of the "Mother Tree of Desire" were also blocked from returning, remaining here in the Shadow World, which served as the medium.
Raphael slowly nodded, then asked, "Then could I impersonate the Mother Tree of Desire and give them a response? Make them believe in me?"
The initial answer was: "You can respond to some of it, but if you respond too much, the Mother Tree of Desire will definitely notice. Furthermore, the angels of the Rose School, as well as some special demigods, can detect that you are impersonating the Mother Tree of Desire."
Raphael said "Oh," and thought it looked fun; he'd like to play it sometime.
"Initially" continued, "The third type of people are the believers of the 'dark side of the universe' and the 'bound gods'."
"They are deeply influenced by the Mother Tree of Desire, especially the Bound Gods, who have been essentially controlled by the Mother Tree of Desire."
"Prayers directed at them are, to some extent, equivalent to prayers directed at the Mother Tree of Desire," and therefore will also establish a certain connection with the "Shadow World."
Raphael looked at the blue flames, his eyes gleaming. "Heh, the Mother Tree of Desire is too busy to deal with things on Earth. I can help her with that."
Then he asked, "Can the 'Mother Tree of Desire' find me through the 'Dark Abode'?"
"No," "Initial" said. "Because God's arrangement within the Shadow World forms a second barrier. The Mother Tree of Desire can use its mystical connection with the Shadow World, but it cannot truly control it."
Raphael nodded: "I can almost see my enemies killing each other."
