Chapter 54 The Awakened Light of the Fifth Luminary
It is not the road to sublimation, nor is it the road to ritual, nor is it the road to degradation...
It is the path of the priesthood, or the path of the priest.
It was precisely because Julius was so short-sighted that he failed to realize that Father Ludwig was not just giving him a bad check.
The burning jealousy in his heart, the shock of watching the bright star rising from his hands - the golden-level transcendent is no longer a legend far away in the sky, but very close at hand, even to himself
It's entirely possible to block his path.
It is this "sense of control" that can erase the strong inferiority complex caused by the sense of distance. Face the jealousy in your heart, and pursue the visible with all your strength with confidence... That is also a kind of sublimation.
Desire.
That was enough to ignite his desire and elevate the level that stuck him to gold.
But only if he doesn't really block Bernardino's path.
Only in this way can the sense of control that held Bernardino in his hand but failed to squeeze it out in the end can become a sharp sword that cuts through the thorn of inferiority.
The reason why Father Ludwig chose Julius to complete the second half of the task was not because he trusted Julius so much.
Rather, it was precisely because Father Ludwig knew that Julius was a jealous person that he gave him this opportunity.
Bernardino was like a moth flying towards the sun, and Julius was like the moth's shadow following behind.
——As long as Father Ludwig's plan succeeds, it means that he has created a pair of twin gods with his own hands.
As for his own survival... that is the least important thing.
Being able to become the bishop of Javon, he has long regarded his works as more important than his own life.
How many people have spent their whole lives dreaming of the opportunity to exchange their lives for an unforgettable masterpiece - and this opportunity was right in front of him.
Indeed, there may indeed be problems on Julius's side.
But now that he had thought about this future, this possibility... he couldn't bear to add a touch of his own to this peerless work of art that was destined to greatly diminish its elegance.
Whether you tell Julius this plan or use a curse to restrain Julius, it will have its craftsmanship and lose its natural beauty.
——So Father Ludwig chose to leave everything to fate.
He did everything he could and sacrificed himself—not to Yaon, but to art itself.
Twin gods born naturally from fate.
This is indeed a beautiful creation.
The most beautiful and profound art...is precisely this unpredictable fate itself.
It's just a pity that Julius's wisdom is not enough. In other words, his virtue is not enough.
At least when he attacked Bernardino, he didn't realize it at all. And by the time he reacted belatedly... it was already too late.
All he can do is to go to the dark side to prove that he is not wrong.
If you think about it carefully, that was probably what happened before Julius invited Bernardino to enter the Tower of Black Glory.
Annan sighed deeply.
"I see……"
He finally began to understand Bernardino.
——Bernardino originally had an extremely bright future and a character that could be called innocent.
But because of the malice of others... Bernardino became even more painful.
When he was thirteen years old, even if everything was erased by Julius, he could indeed go to Denisoya Theological Seminary to study. Theological Seminary is not a recommendation-based school, and letters of recommendation are just a means of adding points. But
Bernardino was afraid of the mistakes he had made and did not dare to try to make up for them.
If he can enter the seminary to study, there is no doubt that he will start another life. With his inherently irrational heart, he may become a bad scientist or a crazy philosopher.
But no matter what, his understanding of art is enough for him to at least become a bishop.
When Bernardino was in his twenties, he gradually established a foothold in the royal capital. His sculpture business gradually became prosperous, and he became somewhat famous. He could even open a shop and find a shop that was not so beautiful, but adequate.
A kind and gentle woman wants to have one or two children and live a prosperous and peaceful life.
At that time, he will become a Nithoyan living in the city instead of working as a miner or fisherman on the Silmaril Isle. His children may become sculptors or wizards. In any case, they will be at least better than
He will live a better life.
When Bernardino was in his thirties, he had already saved a lot of money in the Tower of Black Glory, and he could even use the money to make some investments.
At this time, Benjamin was becoming famous. The civilian use of many transformation products had opened up a new industry. Although he was not a wizard apprentice, he could walk freely in the gray fog... He even hoped to be able to
Become a real rich man.
Although his life has been wiped out of its most glorious possibilities.
But life is not a one-way street.
He still has many possibilities.
The earlier it is, the closer it is to the exam...the more choices he has.
"It is easy to maintain when it is stable, easy to plan when it is not showing signs...it is fragile and easy to be destroyed, and it is easy to fall apart when it is small."
Annan murmured: "But he chose to inherit this malice."
Bernardino did become someone else's work.
But he did not become the work of Father Ludwig together with Julius...but became the work of Julius and Ludwig together.
When Bernardino understood Julius' jealousy, an equally hot hatred arose in his heart.
He did take revenge on Julius.
But he became the new Julius.
Vent your hatred to the world.
This of course makes no sense.
It's just like Bernardino's talent... it's "irrational" anger.
——The light of the fifth ray is the light of the world reflected in the pupils.
The relationship between people itself can also become a kind of strength.
Repaying kindness is a kind of power, and so is revenge; kindness is a kind of power, and so is malice. People can influence others without any extraordinary power.
The world seen by human eyes is actually upside down. It is reason, or the correction of the brain, that changes it back into an upright image.
As the son of Ivan, Annan was thrown into the frozen water port alone.
From Viscount Rossburgh to Rufus, from Denton to Nicholas, from Philip to Winterbreaker... everyone wants to kill him, everyone wants to get rid of him.
What Annan saw was a lot of malice being inflicted on him...even far more than Bernardino. But he was always able to deal with it.
However, his own strength cannot be the reason for being targeted. Nor can it be regarded as "smaller hostility" because the hostility did not affect him in the end. It can even be said that the dark side of the entire world is surrounding Annan.
change.
Because what really wants to kill Annan is the worm.
The Devourer and Destroyer of Worlds.
However--
Even so, Annan never deviated from the right direction.
No matter how much malice he carries on his body, Annan will not vent it to others. He will not be infected by the malice of the outside world and become "blackened", let alone complicit in it.
——The light of the fifth ray is the light of color and bright light.
It is also the light of reason that [sees the world in a correct way].
"That's it...I——"
I've completely understood it.
At that moment, Annan felt that his mind was as clear as glass.
Six invisible lights lit up at the same time.
Annan's mind, heart, eyes, or the inside of his body...
Finally, a beam of light that will never be extinguished ignited.
