NOVEL WEB Chapter 646 Promotion to Angel
Deep within the Star Realm.
Beneath the vast and boundless starry sky, a massive, round blazing sun spanned across it, almost obscuring more than half of the firmament.
However, the blazing sun was not dazzling, but rather dim.
Its surface was like an eclipse, half of it swallowed by the deep darkness, with jagged light arcs and densely packed spider web patterns, like writhing darkness spreading its claws, attempting to completely cover it.
On the silent and motionless Star Realm earth, a figure in a yellow robe walked barefoot, entirely shrouded within the robe, leaving only dry footprints on the loose dark gray soil.
Yet, whenever it passed by, these footprints seemed to reverse time, vanishing without a trace.
Gradually, the figure in the yellow robe stopped.
It turned around, facing the gigantic blazing sun across the starry curtain, and hissed:
"How pitiful you look now, Kingsley Huzzworth."
The voice drifted away, without any response.
The figure in the yellow robe was silent for a long time before continuing:
"Back then, Klaff schemed against us... You knew full well that without the Original Sin, the chances above the Transcendent Sequence were almost zero, yet you couldn't restrain your instinct to devour Black Sun Gorswaxi, and thus met such a fate... As for me, ha, I still haven't found the backdoor left on me by Klaff and have been hunted for an entire era by Angela and the Sub-Gods under her."
The blazing sun continued to hang still, without any reaction.
The figure in the yellow robe didn't mind, letting out a hoarse laughter.
"Klaff finally died, and now there's a successor, the King in Azure, Jack Spett... He destroyed your dark incarnation, seized your place of faith, assassinated your most favored emperor of the mortal world, and is now using the influence of these events to conduct the ceremony of ascending to Eternity."
It raised its head, and beneath the hood, from the pitch-black shadow, there seemed to be a pair of mocking eyes, staring directly at the blazing sun.
"This guy is much harder to deal with than Oscar. Once he ascends to the Nameless, he will truly become a climate, and with the authority left by Klaff, trying to kill him will be immensely difficult... Yet he can act at will, creating a new era in the mortal realm, removing our anchors, plundering our faith, and might not even take a thousand years before we, the remnants of the old era, will wither into eternal slumber, never to awaken again... On the day he becomes a God, it might be when we utterly fall."
After saying that, the figure in the yellow robe just stood silently.
It was unknown how much time passed, and the entire Star Realm remained deathly silent.
It let out a hoarse low laugh, then turned to leave.
However, not far along, the figure in the yellow robe stopped once more.
The blazing sun suddenly emitted a blinding white light, so enchanting that just a glance would trap one in confusion.
The entire Star Realm turned into a field of white.
The light persisted for several minutes before gradually fading.
And the area on the surface of the blazing sun covered by darkness increased by another fraction.
"Finally willing to use Strength to let the world forget him."
The figure in the yellow robe laughed heartily.
"The ceremony took hardly five years; the King in Azure is bound to fail, and the backlash will render him exceedingly weak, which is the best time to seize his authority... Kingsley Huzzworth, I will take care of this matter for you."
With that said, the yellow robe on it twisted into a vortex, growing smaller and smaller, finally disappearing abruptly.
Only the utterly silent Star Realm was left, the Galaxy still resplendent.

Outer Continent.
Brilliant Imperial Royal City, Redrock City.
In the underground chamber of the Redemption Church.
Chen Lun was controlling Neil, his consciousness returning from the Federation's reality.
He quietly gazed at the blue flame in the shrine, finally raising his hand to wipe his neck, erasing the "data interface" previously branded by the flame.
'To avoid leaving hidden dangers, it's better to remove it.'
Chen Lun thought.
At that moment, strong warnings suddenly came from Spiritual Intuition.
Sensing something, he immediately stepped forward, using "Cloud Leap" to leave the chamber in an instant, arriving at a forest thousands of kilometers away.
Standing amidst the dense jungle, Chen Lun thought to himself:
'Looks like the actions from before exposed my existence, drawing the attention of the Candelabra Goddess...'
After all, it is the True God worshiped by the Redemption Church, the Sequence Zero existence of the Holy Fire Pathway, and Chen Lun is quite wary of it.
He raised his hand and waved, the authority of "Hide and Seek" contained within the bookmark exerted to conceal Neil's existence.
Then, he returned control of the body to Neil.
Just as he was about to speak, Chen Lun suddenly received a notification from the panel—
[Completed Promotion Task: Lost Names!]
[Acquired Main Occupation "Sequence Two - Nameless (Destiny Faction)"!]
[Your body and Spirituality have been elevated, Mythical power is undergoing a grand transformation... ]
[In the Promotion Ceremony, you chose "Secrecy" as your authority, which you will thoroughly digest and master from the ceremony's feedback... ]
[You have completed Mythical Ascension, becoming an Eternal existence... ]
'How did the ceremony suddenly complete?!'
Chen Lun was stunned.
His mind spun swiftly, instantly linking to a possibility.
'Blazing Father...'
To make the world forget one's name in such a short amount of time, only the Blazing Father and the Radiant Empress, these two True Gods, could achieve it.
However, he held no great grudge with the Star God; rather, it was the Blazing Father who held a deep-seated hatred for him. Therefore, the most likely to intervene was the Blazing Father!
Just like before, using the "Deception" authority to obscure the world, alter people's understanding, portraying himself as the great antagonist, this time directly making the world forget his name...
As for why the adversary did so, the motive was simple.
It must have discovered his "fake death," so it prematurely interrupted the ceremony progression to prevent his ascension!
'Ha, Blazing Father...'
Chen Lun sneered inwardly.
'You're playing these insidious tricks well!'
The opponent's "removal of the firewood beneath the pot" was quite lethal. If it weren't for his early accumulation of influence, he might have truly been ensnared.
Now, attempting to plan another angel ascension ceremony would have been exceedingly difficult... Yet the Blazing Father, in all his calculations, could never have predicted that his century-long ceremony progress had already completed within five years.
What was solely needed was for people to forget.
The Blazing Father's intervention not only didn't ruin his good deed, but instead became a divine assist, allowing him to ascend on the spot.
'I really must thank you, righteous Sun God!'
Chen Lun immediately burst into laughter.
He couldn't wait to spend the 930 million experience points accumulated on the panel on his new main occupation [Nameless]—
[Main Occupation "Sequence Two - Nameless" has been raised to LV40!]
[You feel your body has been strengthened, Life Limit +24000, Physical Strength Limit +12000, Sanity Limit +240, Strength +400, Agility +400, Endurance +400, Intelligence +400, Faith +200!]
[You feel your body has transformed, Charm +40, Willpower +40, Insight +40, Luck +40!]
[You have gained 40 Skill Points, 100 Attribute Points!]
[You have comprehended a new skill "Materialize the Unreal"!]
[You have comprehended a new skill "Untraceable"!]
The Destiny Angel Sequence Ability "Materialize the Unreal" has the power to fabricate destiny and turn it into real strength, with a max level of 5. Each level up requires 5 skill points, and Chen Lun decisively maxed it out.
The other sequence ability "Untraceable" involves extracting and concealing one's destiny thread, temporarily making one's existence "imaginary," disappearing from the world in every sense and dimension.
It's a hidden mighty power that only deities possess.
Similarly, it maxes out at level 5 and requires 5 skill points per upgrade.
Chen Lun maxed it out again.
He was quite satisfied with the skill "Untraceable," as the authority he digested and mastered after becoming an angel was precisely "secrecy"!
The two combined, resulting in great synergy.
The ultimate effect that can be achieved is beyond Chen Lun's expectations…but he believes that even an angel would hardly find him easily!
'I will become the happiest rogue…'
Chen Lun thought sinisterly.
'And the nightmare of all high-ranking beings!'
He then spent all the accumulated attribute points and special attribute points, finally presenting a panel that shows —

"Your Serpent…?"
Neil knelt on the open ground, sunlight filtering through the dense branches and leaves, falling on him.
He prayed devoutly and cautiously in his heart.
"I am here."
The calm and deep voice responded.
Neil breathed a sigh of relief, having called out several times without a response, he thought the serpent might have fallen asleep again.
Yet the serpent's next words caused Neil's heart, which he had lowered, to tighten once more:
"I might have to leave, Neil."
Neil was stunned and lost in thought.
An expression of reluctance appeared on his aged face.
"You are leaving…"
He said solemnly.
His entire life, since his youth, was deeply connected to this great being. If it weren't for His Serpent, he would have died countless times.
Not to mention having his current strength, being able to control his own destiny.
Now, at the moment of parting, he felt immensely sorrowful.
"For an existence like me, being eternally undying, there is no need to worry about never meeting again… In a blink of an eye, perhaps you would age, while I still shine brightly, so only when you ascend to high rank and transform into the mythical, can you have more years to serve me."
The serpent's voice chuckled softly.
Hope and expectation rose again in Neil.
"I will not disappoint you! I will work even harder, traveling on the Holy Fire Pathway, and promote to Sequence Four early, forever faithful to the great His Serpent!"
The man knelt on the ground, prostrate with devotion, resolutely said.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed, a sparkling crystalline cube appeared before him at some point, spinning continuously.
"Take it and plant it in a place you find suitable, I bestowed it with authority powerful enough to obscure the sight of a True God, even if the Candelabra Goddess Sitheko personally seeks, she would not find you… Take your wife and children, and live well."
Neil carefully took the cube.
In his mind, there was an addition of high-level knowledge on destiny, nature, and magic, containing full knowledge from Sequence Four Saints to Sequence Three Demigods.
"My true name is not 'Serpent', you may call me henceforth—'King in Azure' Jack Spett."
The deep and magnetic voice echoed in his mind.
"Yes! The great King in Azure!"
Neil said excitedly.
However, the other party made no further response.
Neil's heart felt empty.
He stared into space, tears falling unconsciously.
He choked:
"Your most devout and loyal follower, 'Azure Apostle' Neil Lucius will never forget your kindness, serving you for generations and generations…"
