Chapter 89 The Reason Adam Came to the Door
Gudong~
After drinking the potion, Raphael collapsed to the ground, flailing his arms and legs wildly. He couldn't breathe; he was about to die. He was going to die—
Raphael then entered a state of confusion, and he saw two massive bronze gates covered with mystical patterns in the distance.
That's the "Gateway to the Underworld"!
Raphael had heard that only the dead could see the gates of the underworld.
He couldn't help but approach the two doors, feeling as if he had reached the end of his life.
I'm not dead yet!
Raphael seemed to suddenly recall this important matter.
Yes, I just drank the "Living Life" potion.
Then the suffocating feeling and the pain of cardiac arrest returned, causing Raphael to roll around on the ground. He felt pain all over his body, as if he had been skinned alive and soaked in salt water.
Raphael convulsed incessantly, his body writhing in pain as if he were constantly teetering on the brink of death.
Just as this excruciating pain was making his consciousness blur again, a voice suddenly said, "Fool, why do you need to breathe?"
Why do we need to breathe?
The voice said again, "Idiot, why is your heart beating?"
Yes, why does the heart beat?
Raphael gradually regained his senses: I am a "living body" now. Does my body have a heartbeat? Does my body need to breathe?
He sat up abruptly: "I can't control whether my heart is beating or not, but I can stop breathing."
After realizing this, Raphael felt much better. His lungs, which had been burning from the feeling of suffocation, seemed to suddenly realize that he didn't actually need that much oxygen.
Gradually, Raphael calmed down and was promoted.
He then grinned: I never expected that going a little crazy once in a while would have such an effect.
In truth, he couldn't distinguish whether he was lucid in normal times or lucid in his mad state.
Then Raphael sighed: If only he had a teacher who could tell him before the general ascension that he must be a "living person" after drinking the potion. But he quickly shook his head slightly. Even if he were told, it didn't seem to have much effect, because the potion obviously had some impact on both the spiritual body and the mind. After drinking the potion, the ascendant's mind was not very clear.
At this moment, the voice of the jade-colored orb that Raphael had been waiting for rang out: "You're not in good shape - hmm, let me take a look. You use extraordinary traits every time you advance, and you've accumulated quite a few excess traits in your body."
It chuckled and then said, "Let me help you get rid of all your unnecessary traits."
Raphael's heart skipped a beat: "Could you also help me destroy an extraordinary property?"
The white jade-colored bead replied generously, "Okay."
Raphael hurried toward the wardrobe, but because he had just been promoted and was somewhat unfamiliar with his own power, he accidentally tore the wardrobe door off while trying to open it.
He simply left the door aside, opened the drawer, and took out the wooden box inside.
Breaking through the "wall of spirituality," Raphael crushed the wooden box, revealing the "demon's" characteristics: "These are the characteristics."
The next second, the traits in front of Raphael suddenly split into five. In addition to one set each of the "Criminal" pathway traits from Sequence 9 to Sequence 6, there was also an extra "Criminal" trait.
It seems that the previous "demon" also used extraordinary characteristics to advance during his ascension.
Then Raphael expelled seven extraordinary traits from his body: three "Innocent" traits, two "Madman" traits, and one...
One "Werewolf" trait, one "Criminal" trait.
It's no wonder the white jade-colored bead offered to help him expel his excess characteristics; there were indeed too many of them in his body.
However, because he had digested the potion quite well, Raphael didn't notice anything unusual before his advancement. But these "accumulated" effects only surfaced during his general advancement. No wonder he felt so uncomfortable during his advancement.
Raphael looked at the features surrounding his body and his first thought was: I'm rich.
I never expected that a successful promotion would come with such benefits.
At this moment, the white jade bead said, "My second help to you is that in the cultivator world, you can obtain a 'Little Jade Body,' and you can advance all the way up to the 4th Sequence 'Little Jade Body.'"
"As long as you advance in the extraordinary world, you can also receive the blessings of the secret realm in another world."
"And then there's the potion recipe for 'Wraiths.' I won't go into detail about recipe-related help anymore."
Raphael quickly said, "I regained some of my memories some time ago, but I don't know why those memories came back..."
He couldn't remember ever meeting Adam, and instead asked, "Did you seal away a part of my memories?"
The jade-colored bead replied, "I didn't seal it, but this seal was aimed at me."
"Some old things don't understand my current state. They just keep sealing me away to prevent me from waking up. Actually, I've never been asleep."
Raphael frowned. His intuition told him that if his memory were intact, he could fully understand what the other person was saying.
However, he clearly lacked sufficient information and did not understand the answer at all.
The white jade bead continued, "This seal actually helped me. Otherwise, if your memories hadn't been 'fooled,' although I could prevent you from losing control, those memories would still have caused you immense pain. And it would have attracted the attention of some stars earlier—heh, imagine, when you were still at Sequence 9, you were being hunted by the Angel King of the 'Bound One' pathway and Sequence 1, and I still wouldn't be able to offer much help—"
Raphael thought to himself: This is definitely a hellish start!
He then noticed that he had said "seal," while the other person had said "fool."
These two are very different.
The white jade bead also seized the opportunity to say, "The reason you regained those memories is because you saw Adam. Of course, you may not remember what happened at all."
"Hmm, the cross on your chest is what Adam gave you—let me see it. Hmm, the story Adam arranged for you is not bad."
"Here's what I'll do: I'll give you another way to help you. When you see Adam again, he won't be able to read your mind, and you won't lose your memories like you have now. Also, he won't notice you when you're talking about Adam or thinking about things related to him."
Raphael recalled Adam's characteristic: the more you know him, the more you know yourself.
This prompted Raphael to exclaim, "That's an amazing move!" He then asked, "Why did Adam contact me?"
The white jade bead remained silent for a second or two before saying, "One reason is because I have formed a deep bond with you, and the second reason is that 'God' once attempted to use the 'Abyss' to resurrect."
