If it really was a sacrifice
Zhou Yun strongly suspected that it was aimed at him.
I don't know what type it is.
If it's targeting the soul, then Zhou Yun can only say that cultists are in for a treat.
Zhou Yun's soul is not in this body; only his will extends from it.
Cultists can either curse in vain or curse their way to the Golden Throne.
If it's the second scenario, then the demon who took on this outsourcing job will definitely be very grateful to these cultists.
But Zhou Yun was worried that it was something that targeted the body, such as disease, plague, burning blood, or being struck by lightning.
These are things that can truly send Zhou Yun back to the Golden Throne.
He needs to make some preparations.
As he pondered this, Zhou Yun pushed open the door and entered Lucretius's office.
The brass fragments of the lock were scattered all over the floor, some even embedded in the wall.
Unlocking requires sophisticated telekinetic skills. Although this body has telekinetic talent, Zhou Yun has not learned any telekinetic skills, so he can only use this crude method to break the lock through the door panel.
He walked over to Lucretius's desk, squatted down, and opened one of the drawers. Inside the wooden drawer lay rows of jet-black stones.
After Zhou Yun crossed the realm, he would feel his spiritual energy being significantly suppressed every time he entered this room.
Sure enough, besides the piece Lucretius gave him, he had hidden quite a few others.
However, the number in the drawer was less than Zhou Yun had imagined. It was clear that Lucretius had taken a few pieces with him when he left Macragge for Odin. He was quite cautious.
Zhou Yun reached out and picked out two pieces, putting them into his pocket.
Then he stood up and walked to the bookshelf in Lucretius's office, where Lucretius's research notes were displayed, numbering more than ten.
Zhou Yun used his telepathic energy to grant himself a mental acceleration buff and quickly began flipping through Lucretius's notes.
"The Broken Lighthouse Cult claims that their Lighthouse God pierced Formarcus with an obelisk, creating a spectacle known as the Eye of the Father. According to astronomical observation, the Eye of the Father is formed by the periodic outflow of lava from within Formarcus. Strangely, when the Eye of the Father appears, Macrag's spirituality also increases."
Spirituality... What kind of weird word is that... Are you some kind of mystical aristocrat?
"If it was indeed an obelisk that pierced through and caused the Eye of the Father, based on the cycle of the Eye of the Father's appearance, then this event should have occurred in the early morning of the 9th of a certain month..."
At dawn on the 9th, isn't that tomorrow morning? And... nine...
"But I don't believe the Broken Lighthouse's claim. If an obelisk had indeed pierced through Formacas and entered the Mackrag atmosphere, it should have formed a crater, but no such structure appears on any known topographical maps of Mackrag."
"Furthermore, according to sextant stargazing calculations, the 'Lighthouse Star' mentioned by the Broken Lighthouse Cult is nearly a thousand light-years away from Macrag. It is hard to imagine that such an obelisk could traverse such a long distance in the Old Night that ravaged the warp."
That means we're not traveling through subspace... so it's a faster-than-light technology whose principles are unrelated to subspace...
Zhou Yun's gaze stopped. He saw a line of records and couldn't help but smile.
My teacher does have some real skills.
"I consulted the star charts from the golden age preserved in the Great Library and compared them with the current night sky. I found the exact location of Beacon Star. I can confirm that it is a planet located halfway out of the star field, near the edge of the Milky Way. The charts indicate that this planet is habitable, but has not yet been developed."
Half a star system away from Macurag, near the edge of the galaxy, habitable but undeveloped, with a lighthouse, and the black stone fragments dug up by Lucretius, the name of that planet had already popped into Zhou Yun's mind.
Sousa.
On this planet, there exists a guiding lighthouse forged by the former galactic overlords, the Necromancers of space. It can largely replace the Terra Starlight, and in some aspects, it is even superior to it.
Later, after the galaxy was torn apart, it was the lighthouse on Sosa that illuminated Macurag, ripped through the warp storm, and guided the ships of the Second Empire.
The name of that lighthouse is Pharos.
This confirmed Zhou Yun's guess.
In the prophecy, Zhou Yun saw himself, Tita, and a blond man walking on the land of Sosa, looking at the mountains where the Pharos Lighthouse was hidden.
That blond man... is most likely Robert Guilliman.
Guilliman, Tita, and I went to find the Pharos Lighthouse.
In the prophecy, Dita is not much older than she is now.
Excluding the almost impossible scenario that Macragge developed a subspace engine and found a navigator within a few short years...
That means Zhou Yun and his group must have crossed thousands of light-years in one go in the near future using some kind of non-subspace travel method.
If such a method truly exists, it could only be found on... that obelisk from Sosa that crushed the Wizarding King.
Which obelisk is located where?
In the future, I am going to Sousa with Robert Guilliman. Is the key still Guilliman?
I still need to apply for that tutor position.
After reviewing these records about the Broken Lighthouse Temple, Zhou Yun also found the records about the King of Wizardry in the notebook.
He took his notes and walked to the table where Lucretius had piled up artifacts. After rummaging through them for a while, he found a crystal eagle-headed statue that was full of cracks.
"During the reign of the King of Wizardry, eagle worship was quite common. It is said that the title of the god of wizardry included 'Supreme Eagle,' and these ornaments expressing eagle worship were often made of sparkling crystal. The crystal eagle head statues unearthed so far are all covered with cracks, which is quite noteworthy."
Zhou Yun examined the crystal eagle head statue and found no trace of spiritual energy... The spiritual energy within the crystal eagle head statue had completely dissipated.
He was still a little uneasy, so he gently squeezed the eagle-headed statue and channeled a golden stream of spiritual energy into it, but the statue did not change.
After confirming that it was harmless, Zhou Yun nodded slightly, then reached out and stuffed all the artifacts similar to the eagle-headed statue into his pocket.
Although he knew it was harmless, Zhou Yun remained cautious and planned to throw it all into the donation box of the Temple of the King of War later.
After all, Zhou Yun was now completely certain who the god of witchcraft that the eagle-headed statue pointed to was.
Skilled in witchcraft, fond of deceiving people, and marked with an eagle... that must be the old bastard with a dead eagle strapped to his chest, who plays with witchcraft!
It can't be some silly bird in a crystal maze cawing and saying "everything is going according to plan," can it?
From afar, it looks like the Imperial Eagle; up close, it's Carlos.
Zhou Yun couldn't help but think to himself that Tzeentch and the Emperor were also a pair of unfortunate two-headed eagles.
As he thought about it, Zhou Yun reached for the table again.
However, he did not intend to continue with Tarasin. Although he was engaging in blood raven activities, Zhou Yun did not harbor any ill will towards his teacher. He planned to give his teacher a small gift as compensation.
Relying on his intuition from his precognitive psychic powers, Zhou Yun began searching through the pile of artifacts and found a small silver-plated gold cross.
Zhou Yun held the cross in his hand, bringing it close to his eyes so that he could capture every detail on it.
"I bestow my blessing," Zhou Yun whispered.
The pale golden spiritual energy slowly flowed from Zhou Yun's fingertips and gathered into the cross.
This pale golden spiritual energy was something Zhou Yun obtained from the students' admiration. It was a power different from his own spiritual energy, more like the energy surrounding the golden throne. Zhou Yun guessed that this might be "faith".
After studying it, Zhou Yun grasped some of its uses, one of which was to bless items like this. His Emperor Tarot deck was also blessed with this "faith," but Zhou Yun didn't realize it at the time.
In addition, Zhou Yun felt that things tainted by the corruption of the subspace should also have some reaction after being injected with this psionic energy, but this conjecture has not yet been verified.
Zhou Yun has only accumulated a tiny bit of this "faith" so far, and has poured very little into this cross. If used as normal spiritual power, it would probably be only enough to lift an egg.
But this faith is ultimately directed at Zhou Yun... or rather, at the Emperor. Even if it's only a small amount, it's still a blessing from the Emperor himself. Zhou Yun believes that this thing can at least scare off things like warp demons—to put it bluntly, even if the Emperor peed on this cross, he could still scare a bunch of low-level demons to death with it.
Oh, I was so generous.
Of course, while Zhou Yun did this partly as compensation, the main reason was to prevent himself from looking up one day and finding that his teacher had turned into a bird's head.
Zhou Yun nodded in satisfaction and placed the cross pendant in a prominent position on the table. Unless Lucretius was a complete psychic idiot, he should be able to sense the power on the cross.
The moment Zhou Yun put down the cross, his body stiffened...
Found it.....
His gaze abruptly shifted back to the golden throne, looking at a soul flame in the vast sea of warp space.
