Apocalyptic Sequence

Chapter 30 The Heavenly Principles Society

Heaven... Heaven's justice?

Lu Fan was stunned for a moment, completely unprepared for this turn of events!

However, he immediately realized what was going on and connected it to the description of the item on the golden hourglass.

Golden Hourglass

Rank: Special Item (No Rank)

Equipment effect: This is an invitation from the Heavenly Principles Society. When you possess it, you can attend a special gathering of the Heavenly Principles Society. This is a blessing that spans more than three hundred years, and also an ancient curse.

An invitation from the Heavenly Principles Society!

This is the function of the golden hourglass, allowing him to attend this special gathering.

So this is the meaning of the invitation… Lu Fan seemed to understand, and immediately asked the girl, “Is this the function of the golden hourglass?”

"That's right. The fact that you were able to obtain the golden hourglass means you are a lucky person favored by fate." The mysterious girl nodded gently and continued, "This is the Heavenly Principles Society, a special space located in the cracks of the spirit world. Don't be too nervous. Your soul has come to the Heavenly Principles Society, but your physical body is still in the real world."

"Is this a gathering for souls? By the way, what is the spirit world?" Lu Fan caught the key words in the other person's words and raised his own question.

The mysterious girl continued to answer his questions:

"The spirit world is the source of extraordinary power."

"The source of all extraordinary power is in the spirit world. You can think of the spirit world as a reflection of the real world. The two are like two sides of a coin, neither can be missing. One side is the real world, and the other side is the spirit world."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Fan heard a notification sound in his ear.

[Hint: You have triggered the puzzle-solving quest "Secrets of the Spirit Realm (Lv.10)"!]

Can you trigger a task on the "Idiot Panel" here? Lu Fan was dumbfounded. He didn't expect the panel to be so reliable. Even though he was a soul who came to the Heavenly Principles Society, it still followed his steps and faithfully triggered the task.

Since the spirit realm is the source of extraordinary power, is the apocalypse related to it? Lu Fan had a guess and hurriedly asked, "Is the apocalypse related to the spirit realm?"

"Intelligent. It seems you have a deep understanding of the apocalypse." The mysterious girl said loudly, "The reason for the apocalypse is currently unknown, but after the apocalypse, the spirit world returned, and its door to the real world was opened. From then on, the difficulty for humans to advance to the extraordinary level was reduced."

"Simply put, after the apocalypse, because the gate to the spirit world opened, the chance of humans losing control after taking the secret medicine dropped significantly, from the original 60-70% to about 30%."

"If it is someone who has mastered extraordinary skills, the chance of losing control is only 10%."

So that's how it is... Lu Fan suddenly realized that the mysterious girl's words had revealed many secrets to him, and at the same time, the mission progress had increased significantly.

"So you're saying there were extraordinary individuals even before the end of the world?"

Lu Fan, drawing inferences from one instance to another, questioned the mysterious girl.

"That's right, but most of them live in seclusion in the world. After all, the gate to the spirit world has not yet been opened, and even high-ranking extraordinary beings will experience a significant drop in strength."

After explaining the spirit world, the mysterious girl changed the subject and said to Lu Fan:

"You are the last member to join the Heavenly Order."

"According to the seven sins, you may call yourself 'Mr. Lust'."

Lust is my code name? The Heavenly Principle Society uses the Seven Deadly Sins as code names for its members? Lu Fan pondered, feeling that his code name was somewhat indecent, being the most unpleasant of the Seven Deadly Sins.

But since he arrived the latest, all the other titles were taken by others.

"My code name is Gluttony, you can call me Miss Gluttony."

The mysterious girl who had previously explained the spirit world to him revealed her code name, and at the same time, she introduced her companion beside her: "That is Lady Sloth, and as her name suggests, she is extremely lazy."

"Bingeing!"

Lazy Lady finally spoke up, unable to resist complaining, "I just hate monotonous work. That's not laziness, that's just being lazy!"

"It's all the same anyway." Miss Gluttony shrugged, then said to Lu Fan, "Do you know the strength ranking of Extraordinary Beings? From Sequence One to Sequence Nine."

"I know a little bit, but only about the sequence names," Lu Fan replied truthfully.

"Let me give you a brief explanation of the sequence classification. In ancient times, sequence one and sequence two were called low sequences, sequence three and sequence four were medium sequences, and sequence five and above were high sequences."

As Miss Gluttony spoke, her tone became expectant: "As for those above Sequence Seven, we call them God Sequences, because those above Sequence Seven already possess divinity within them and can be regarded as mythical creatures, such as the legendary ancient gods."

God sequence?

Lu Fan's spirits lifted; it was the first time he had heard of this, and he couldn't help but feel hopeful.

If one can ascend to the divine order, it means transcending the ordinary and becoming a true mythical being.

Who wouldn't want to be a god?

Next, Miss Gluttony dropped another bombshell: "The progress of human digestion of the elixir depends on the 'role-playing rules.' The more you follow the sequence name and the closer you are to the origin, the faster human digestion of the elixir will be. For example, if your sequence name is The Thief, then you'd better be a thief."

Role-playing progress? That's the reason for the role-playing mentioned on the panel...

Lu Fan suddenly realized the truth and felt that he had benefited greatly.

However, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Why would the Heavenly Justice Society help him? Revealing so much information for free... Lu Fan hesitated, "Then, what is your motive for recruiting members?"

As if sensing his suspicion, Miss Gluttony smiled and continued, "The purpose of the Heavenly Principles Society is to select the lucky ones in life and help them grow step by step."

"Finally, with their power, they helped the guild leader, 'Lady Arrogance,' escape from the ancient dream."

"Escaped?" Lu Fan was taken aback.

"Yes, Lady Arrogance is the founder of the Heavenly Principles Society and a powerful being in the God Sequence." Lady Gluttony revealed a shocking secret and continued, "However, Lady Arrogance is trapped in an ancient dream, a terrible trap set by an ancient deity related to the authority of the [Dream], which successfully trapped Lady Arrogance."

"Our mission is to grow and, when the time is right, help the arrogant lady get out of trouble."

Miss Gluttony recounts the responsibilities of the members.

"How can you be sure we can help?" Lu Fan asked curiously.

Miss Gluttony replied:

"Because the Prideful Lady's sequence is related to [Fate], she can see the future destiny nodes and also perceive the lucky ones favored by fate. The golden hourglass she created is a kind of selection method."

"The fact that you obtained the golden hourglass proves that your destiny is intertwined with the Lady of Pride, and that you will be able to help her in your future life."

So that's how it is. But my Golden Hourglass came from the panel rewards, and the difficulty panel is also related to the Arrogant Lady? Lu Fan pondered, and one guess after another bubbled up in his mind.

Since he obtained the panel, he has grown step by step with the help of the panel, and then advanced to become a Mystic.

It can be said that the control panel is Lu Fan's biggest trump card.

But after listening to Miss Gluttony's account, Lu Fan couldn't help but have a guess.

Since gods and terrifyingly powerful beings with divine ranks truly exist in this world...

So, is your own panel related to a deity, or even comes from a certain deity?
