An abandoned city shrouded in yellow sand.

After war, famine, and disease, the bones of the dead are buried here, and the living are uprooted from their homes.

In the ruins of an empty city.

Countless ghosts and gods are wandering.

A scholar wearing a white-robed cloak of the Alchemy School walks among the ghosts and gods of the ruined capital.

The blood flowing from the wound in the palm of the hand has been trickling for years.

Blood is a thread, forming a complex ritual array, so huge that it covers every corner of the entire ruined capital.

The intersection of the two blood lines finally completed the closure of the ritual array.

The wound in the palm of the white-robed man's hand healed automatically, and she stepped into the center of the ritual.

I was about to speak.

A "person" suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air.

An African-American man with dark skin, a tall, thin build, and a hearty smile.

"The Courier."

The white-robed man's eyes narrowed.

"The spreader of truth and knowledge, the great alchemy sage Lin Wei, greets you from the chaos of the ambush."

The messenger was a gentlemanly greeting.

"Do you think the long time of immersion in the center of the earth is too boring and want to finish yourself early?

I think it's good that you can think like this, my land refining array will help you, just stand here and don't move. ”

"Great Sage, I'm just a messenger, I only appear when you need it, and after the land is refined, you plan to go to the 'cage', don't you."

"A drop of the Philosopher's Stone."

"Three drops, great sage, I am the only one in the cage of Raleiye who can send you silently."

The white-robed man did not reply, but recited a mantra in his mouth:

"The Gate of Truth, the Tree of Life, the Crown of Knowledge, I have given me an equivalent universal creation in exchange for the ghosts and gods of a land......"

Before the white-robed mantra could be recited, the messenger had disappeared in an instant.

When he appeared again, he was already outside the distant land refining array, and he smiled and bowed towards the land refining formation formation that began to fill the blood mist:

"Great Sage, thank you for your generosity, I will give you a ready way to Tokyo."

In the ruined capital, countless ghosts and gods became restless.

In the ritual array, the blood mist rose.

Faintly, the ritual array on the ground began to twist, and a huge stone door emerged.

On the surface of the stone gate, the upside-down tree of life formed by the connection of ten origins is strange and dense.

As the white-robed man finished reciting the last incantation, he pushed his hands forward, and the door of truth opened.

In the darkness behind the door, countless black hands stretched out, grabbing the ghosts and gods in the waste capital.

Those terrifying ghosts and gods with hideous faces, as if they were about to choose people to devour at any time, actually showed unprecedented fear under the black hand stretched out behind the door, and they were caught behind the door without the power to resist!

The ghost god was eaten by the door, and the blood mist became thicker and thicker, gradually enveloping the figure of the white-robed man and enveloping the entire ruined capital.

……

"This old day...... What is the meaning? ”

Su Qi asked.

This time it's not pretending, he really doesn't know.

'Beings who do not belong to this world', this statement now seems to refer to one's identity as a traverser?

But what does Director Alice mean by 'old days'?

Something may seem wrong, but this 'old days' has something to do with your original world?

"In the old days, when it came to this concept, you had to start from the beginning, and you had to understand the school system of the mystics, which was not ...... in the introduction to the occult."

Andersen was talking, but was interrupted by Alice.

"Let me tell him, the mystery involved in the old days is too dangerous, I'll talk about it, the risk of getting out of control is small."

The deep mystery that cannot be easily spoken, without enough deep sea and anchorage, to say it, can lead to the loss of control.

Alice's deep sea is deeper, and there are more anchor lines accumulated over the past hundred years, and she is still a family member of time, and when it comes to more dangerous mysteries, she can bear it.

……

"First of all, you have to understand the knowledge system of the mystic, and it starts with the 'door'."

Alice turned her wheelchair and went to the bookshelf, trying to pull out a book.

But...... It's too high.

The hatter came over and helped her out.

Alice opened the book and showed it to Su Qi and said:

"The three cornerstones of the mysterious world, the Spiritual, the Secret, and the Mysterious, you already know.

Next, I want to talk about the end point of evolution corresponding to these three cornerstones, which you can also understand as a goal, a lifelong pursuit.

The mysterious world, the end of evolution, the three doors that lead to the origin. ”

Su Qi looked at the book, there were three paintings.

A stone door with ten origins on the surface that form a tree-like relief.

The door of truth, corresponding to the mysterious.

A silver key.

The door of silver, corresponding to the idealist.

A two-column and a beam are composed like a door frame.

The door of nothingness corresponds to the one who has a secret agreement.

"Idealists and mystical believe that if you can reach the other side of the door, you can find the source.

The idea of the Secret Ones is that the other side of the door is the true self, and they guide the other side of the Source to find itself. ”

"Is this true? Where's this door? Someone made it to the other side of the door? ”

Su Qi's face was a little incredulous.

"No one made it to the other side of the door."

Director Alice shook her head.

"But this is the consensus of the mystical world, and since there has been writing, it has been circulated among every mystic, conspiracy, and idealistic person......"

"We can also know what the ghosts think?"

"Very few idealists, or by some means...... You won't be able to reach it for the time being, and that's not the point of this time.

The Silver Gate and the Door of Nothing, in relation to our mysteries, are the Gates of Truth. ”

Alice pointed to the picture of the door of truth in the book.

"This carving on the Gate of Truth, which we call the Inverted Tree, the Kabbalah Tree of Life, is the blueprint for the construction of the universe.

There are ten origins on it.

Crown, knowledge, reason, charity, precepts.

Aesthetics, Victory, Radiance, Cornerstone, Kingdom.

Each represents ten mystical systems of knowledge that peek into the origin of the world.

The ancient mystics, relying on these ten kinds of origin mystical knowledge, founded the most primitive and oldest ten origin ancient schools. ”

The ancient school of the crown has the knowledge of transcendence and god.

The ancient school of knowledge, with the knowledge of wisdom and creation.

The ancient school of reason, with the knowledge of elements and thinking.

The ancient school of benevolence has the knowledge of benevolence and greatness.

The ancient school of precepts, with the knowledge of discovery and law.

The ancient school of beauty, with the knowledge of mediation and art.

The Victory Ancient School, with the knowledge of justice and eternity.

The Glorious Ancient School, with the knowledge of glory and metal.

The cornerstone ancient school has the knowledge of all things and the core.

The ancient school of the kingdom has the knowledge of human reason and matter.

"The ten ancient schools of origin have long since collapsed in history and have become many small schools and organizations.

However, the system of occult knowledge will not change.

All occult knowledge comes from these ten origin systems. ”

"For example, among the mystical schools, the most abundant and authoritative branch of the knowledge system, the alchemy school, is derived from the 'cornerstone system' of the ancient school of cornerstones.

Master some of the knowledge of all things and cores.

The occult knowledge system of the Black Gate Club is inherited from the 'Kingdom System'.

Master some of the knowledge of human physics and materiality.

All of the ritual knowledge of the Black Gate also came from this system. ”
