"It is said that after the barbarians on the ancient grasslands snatched a woman, they would kill her firstborn because they were not sure whether it was their own..."
Aaron Sotos walked in Black Sun Town: "However, we Green Forest people are at least a little better than prairie barbarians, right?"
Thinking of the bloody sacrifice of [Grandma Green Banyan Tree], Aaron couldn't help but feel guilty.
However, he soon put all this behind him.
Because in front of him, Xiu had already knelt at the feet of the high priest and put on a black robe.
"Congratulations, the new Unburnt One!"
The high priest had a cheerful smile on his face, and black fireworks seemed to be flowing down from his eyes, mouth and nose at any time.
"I would like to respect the Black Sun as my Lord and practice His way!"
Xiu's cheeks were a little thin, but his eyes were full of energy.
Aaron could tell that this woman must have tried the church's breathing and meditation methods and reached a certain height.
"Black flame meditation can be divided into four levels of temperature, namely red flame, yellow flame, blue flame, and purple flame. You have passed the test of red flame..."
The high priest was very happy and said: "You can start the non-burning ceremony and become a true 'non-burning one'."
He motioned to the black-robed believer next to him to come forward and brought over a brazier burning with flames.
"As long as the spirituality of 'darkness' is awakened, ordinary flames cannot harm you."
The high priest stretched out his hand and reached into the flames.
"I……"
Xiu gritted his teeth and stretched his hand into the flames.
Bah!
Severe pain was felt instantly, and a smell of burning flesh spread immediately.
Not far away, Ike and Lin, who were watching, immediately closed their eyes and couldn't bear to watch anymore.
However, even though Xiu's face twitched, he held the palm of the high priest in the flames.
"Very good. It's your first try, so you'll inevitably get a little injured."
The high priest removed the brazier and saw Xiu's severely burned right hand. A smile appeared on his face: "Just try more. Let your body fully feel the heat of the flame. This will help spiritual awakening."
"I will follow your teachings."
A smile appeared on Xiu's sweat-soaked face.
"Aunt Xiu!"
When the high priest left, Lin immediately flew into Xiuxiu's arms, tears rolling down her cheeks: "Your hands..."
"Don't worry, I have begun to partially awaken. Although it looks serious, it is just a flesh wound."
Xiu comforted him: "In order to pursue my Lord and strength, this price is nothing."
Aaron couldn't help but nod.
If he hadn't been half-awakened to the spirituality of "darkness", I'm afraid Xiu's hands would have been almost cooked, as opposed to just being severely burned now.
After returning to the room and putting Lin to sleep, Xiu looked at Ike and his expression became serious: "How are you?"
"I praise the Black Sun every day, and they don't doubt me..."
Ike replied in a deep voice.
"Continue to maintain this, and when you become a true Unburnt One, I can come into contact with the spell and take you out of here."
Cultivate a firm path.
She doesn't like this cult, but she doesn't object to gaining power.
Aaron looked at all this without saying a word.
He knew that the black sun's influence on believers was subtle yet intense. Although this practice was well planned, there was really little hope of success.
"But...why wasn't I affected?"
Aaron pondered.
According to his inquiries, even those who have not practiced the secret transmission of darkness may still hear Black Sun's ravings.
And if you believe in the Black Sun, this influence will increase dramatically!
However, Aaron could not hear any gibbering at all except at the beginning.
Not only the black sun, but also those born on the moon, as well as other terrifying existences, he was not affected at all except at the beginning.
In addition, he secretly tried several times and found that even the obsidian altar dedicated to the [Black Sun] could not detect or warn him of his approach, which made him much bolder in exploration.
"The first possibility is that my status is too high? No, no, this possibility is not high..."
Aaron thought with some humor: "So...are these powerful beings like gods ignoring me?"
"In the beginning, when those beings were born, the signal was the strongest, so I could hear..."
"But now, they are just emitting influence naturally. The signal has weakened a lot, and I can't hear it anymore..."
"This is probably a more reasonable explanation?"
With a little bit of exploration, Aaron's consciousness returned to the real body.
"Daly, get me a brazier!"
He shouted to the door, and not long after, Dai Li came in with a brazier on an iron clamp: "Lord, although the weather is a bit cold, if you want to warm up by the fire, please remember to open the window."
"Well, you go out first!"
After sending the maid away, Aaron faced the flame and began to try meditation.
The black flame meditation method originally requires referring to the flame, starting to imagine flames of different colors burning in the thinking space, burning the body, and then stepping through them one by one.
According to the teachings of the high priest, before every meditation, you need to worship the Black Sun, hoping to get closer to that existence during meditation.
Aaron felt that he might not be able to practice this meditation method, but he still tried it without giving up.
One hour, two hours...
Three hours……
After changing the brazier several times, Aaron opened his eyes, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the flame burning in the basin.
"hiss……"
The next moment, his hand retracted as if he was electrocuted, and there was burning pain in his fingertips.
"It's completely impossible..."
"If I continue, my hands will be cooked..."
"If outsiders see me, they might think I'm crazy!"
Aaron shook his head and asked Dai Li, who looked confused, to take away the brazier and close the door.
The moment he closed the door, he seemed to see the maid's eyes. It was a look that pitied the fool and cared for the mentally retarded.
"Did she see it?"
"Forget it, it's nothing to see..."
Aaron sat back at his desk, opened the locked drawer, and took out his notebook:
[Tried Black Flame Meditation, failed!]
[Summary: Maybe I’m not suitable for the ‘dark’ path, or...is this really a world without demons? 】
[Spirituality exists in all things in that world, but does not exist in this world... So, where does spirituality come from? 】
Aaron suddenly thought of the scarlet sun in the dream world.
There is also the information that Xiu said that after the catastrophe, everyone went crazy and the craziest people turned into monsters.
[So...human beings in that world were originally non-spiritual, but were endowed with spirituality by the Scarlet Sun? So the craziest ones are also the most spiritual, and they can transform into monsters even if they don't follow the right path?]
He suddenly felt that this was a very reasonable explanation.
【So...I am the source of everything?!】
Aaron suddenly thought of the information he had obtained.
