The gentle sea breeze blew, and the leaves in the forest rustled.

[Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your contributions to Dark Moon Island. You have worked hard, and I invite you to rest here forever. - Berna]

Reading the words on the stone tablet, you can feel Berna's expression at that time.

He succeeded, he used, he benefited, he eliminated, and he didn't even use hypocrisy to embellish it. Instead, he used a mocking tone to make a final mockery of them.

This is an isolated island that can hardly be reached without passing through the teleportation array in the other garden.

It is like a diary, where Berna presents a different side from the external packaging, revealing his true self.

The words on the stone tablet can be understood as another sentence:

"Oh, look, there is a group of fools buried here!"

Karun took out the Achilles Sword he brought with him from the sword box and walked to the stone tablet. He squatted down and slowly ground away the words left by Berna on the stone tablet with the sword.

Mr. Eisen and Richard sat behind, watching Karun grind the words.

Finally, the words on the stone were cleaned by Karun.

Karun placed the sword on his knee and looked at the clean stone tablet, lost in thought.

Because of his previous work at the Inmolese Funeral Home, Karun has become accustomed to engraving words on tombstones.

He closed his eyes, and a scene appeared in his mind. More than a hundred years ago, a group of people came to Dark Moon Island on a sea turtle. They poured their hearts into this island, hoping it would develop in the future.

More than a hundred years later, when they should have been filled with anger and seeking revenge, they chose to stop when revenge was about to be achieved.

Is it mercy?

No.

Describing them with just the word "mercy" is inaccurate.

They had hatred in their hearts, otherwise, Phileas, who had just escaped, would not have cursed the Dark Moon clan in anger, and the curse worm would not have been born because of it.

But more than a hundred years have passed, and Berna has long been dead.

When they came to this island again, in the eyes of others, they should have seen the descendants of their enemies, the Dark Moon Island that developed by sucking their blood and effort. They seemed to be angry, roaring, and unwilling to overturn all the glory built on their corpses.

If it were him, Karun felt that he would definitely do the same. He would let his anger burn the entire island.

However, what they saw was the growth of their crystallized efforts, their past dreams, becoming a reality.

They were the sowers of light.

They were not here to preach, but to sow the seeds of light. After these seeds took root, sprouted, and bore fruit, they did not name this fruit "light," but "beauty."

The Light Church is the Light Church, and the God of Light is the God of Light;

And light, is light.

For a moment, Karun was moved. He was not alone in this "divine" world, because more than a hundred years ago, there was such a group of people. They may not have the same clear cognition and dialectic as himself;

But they were better than him because they put it into practice.

This is probably the purest form of faith.

Karun once admired a painting in Piajie's wife Linda's studio. The painting was called "Twilight of the Gods."

In the painting, the last Pope of the Light Church stood on a high tower and shouted, "I don't believe there really is a God of Light in this world."

Historians in the church circle generally believe that the shout of the last Pope of Light is equivalent to the final death knell of the Light Church. Afterwards, the Light Church perished.

Phileas is the descendant of the mad Pope.

So, the shout of the mad Pope was not denying the light, he was only denying the God of Light.

Is there really a God of Light?

Certainly, there is. This is a "divine" world, where gods truly exist, and the dog in his own house is one.

But is that guy called the God of Light really the God of Light?

Just as in the absence of the God of Order, there is no order in this world?

Then, in the absence of the God of Light, have people never seen light?

In the eyes of the high-level members of the Order Church, isn't Grandpa Dis another madman?

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread.com ].

Some people are crazy because they are really mad; and some people are crazy because the people around them are mad.

The last Pope of the Light Church stood on the Tower of Light and made this shout. What is the difference between that and Grandpa Dis blowing up the Temple of Order?

They saw the truth that ordinary people couldn't see. What is even more commendable is that they didn't choose to go with the flow, but in their respective eras and backgrounds, they all made their own shouts.

Karun suddenly felt a little panicked, which made him sit paralyzed on the ground.

Because he suddenly realized that Mr. Phileas inherited the will of the last mad Pope of Light, while he inherited the expectations from Grandpa Dis.Essentially speaking,

Myself and Mr. Felias, we are actually the same kind of people. This similarity transcends regions, nationalities, churches, beliefs, and so on.

It's just that,

Felias has already put it into practice,

What about myself?

Can I achieve what Felias has achieved? Do I have the courage to do so?

Karun realized that his original confidence and determination in his heart suddenly became fearful in the face of the bloody "same kind" corpses.

No wonder Dis asked him many times before he left home, if he was really ready.

At that time, he always answered Dis with the reason of "wanting to go out and see the scenery", and felt quite satisfied with this somewhat stylish answer.

It turns out that he has always made things too simple.

He didn't know what kind of mood Dis had every time he heard his answer.

The scenery on the road is beautiful, but what if the road is covered in blood? If it's someone else's blood, it's fine, but what if it's his own blood?

Step by step, leaving behind a trail of bloody footprints, in this state, is there still the mood to appreciate the scenery?

"Hoo... hoo..."

Karun began to take deep breaths.

Richard looked at Karun at this moment, feeling puzzled, curious, and mostly bewildered.

Mr. Eisen turned his head to look at his son, then looked at Karun in front of him, couldn't help but sigh.

Karun adjusted his emotions and began to rethink the matter of engraving on the stone tablet.

"Thank you for letting me see the true light..."

Karun shook his head, he was not satisfied with this, because he didn't have the qualification to thank them like this.

"Please don't be sad for us, please don't..."

Karun shook his head again, this was not good either.

In the end, Karun still engraved his words on the stone tablet:

"Hey, we're setting sail again!"

Karun stabbed his sword into the ground, facing the mass grave, crossed his arms in front of his chest, without praise.

Then, Karun turned around and looked at the face-down Bernard, using his boot to flip him over.

At this moment, Bernard, whose originally neat and tidy black and white hair was now disheveled, had sand all over his face.

Karun closed his eyes seriously and felt it, confirming that Bernard's body still had a high amount of spiritual power remaining due to being well-preserved.

Richard couldn't help but ask, "Karun, what are you planning to do to him?"

"Insult."

"Are you going to start now?" Richard asked, "I should have drunk more water when I came, but it doesn't matter, there are many ways to desecrate a corpse anyway."

"What's the point of desecrating a corpse? I want him to open his eyes and feel it personally."

"Open his eyes and feel it personally? Do you want to use the Awakening Technique on him?"

Karun nodded.

"Are you crazy! He is a genius clan leader in the history of the Dark Moon clan. Do you know how high his realm is?"

Richard is currently a Divine Shepherd and has not reached the realm of a Judge where he can use the Awakening Technique, but this doesn't prevent him from knowing the cost and price of using the Awakening Technique.

Mr. Eisen corrected his son, "No, he can do it."

But obviously, the reason why Mr. Eisen believed that he could do it and the reason why Karun believed that he could do it were different.

Karun looked at Mr. Eisen and asked, "Is there any way to ensure the integrity of his body and suppress his resistance after the successful awakening?"

The Awakening Technique of the Order of the Gods and the Soul Contract of the Cycle of Gods are completely different concepts. After the contract is successfully signed, one can forcibly control the soul they command, but the Awakening Technique of the Order of the Gods simply "awakens" the dead.

The awakened dead are also free.

The most secure method is to cut off Bernard's limbs and put them in a jar to make a human pig.

But this kind of extensive damage to the corpse will cause a large amount of retained spiritual power to be lost, and it is very likely that Bernard's consciousness will become unclear after awakening.

After confirming that Bernard's body still had a rich amount of spiritual power remaining, Karun still hoped to torture him while he was conscious.

"There is a way, we can embed formations in various parts of his body, including his soul, in a hierarchical and phased manner."

"How exactly?"

"Set up suppression formations for each part of his body, including his soul, in layers and stages."

"How long will it take?" Karun asked.

"It won't take too long. This only requires quantity and doesn't pursue quality. For safety reasons, at least two larger formations need to be reserved to destroy him instantly."

"Well, of course. You can help me prepare now."

"Okay, um, I need a more enclosed space."

"That's not a problem. Richard, carry the body and follow me."

Richard lifted the body and followed Karun into the cave.

Karun walked to Mrs. Jennifer's coffin, pushed open the lid, and after confirming, he found that there was no spiritual power left in Mrs. Jennifer's body.Karun felt a bit regretful, but also somewhat fortunate.

"This coffin is very suitable," Mr. Eisen said, "the material of this stone coffin is inherently suitable for arranging formations. Its original design was created for the purpose of imprisoning formations."

Mr. Eisen pointed to the coffin where Mrs. Joffney lay and continued, "The formation of this coffin has been activated before, sealing the resistance from within."

"Then let's begin."

"Alright, Richard, carry the body in."

"Okay."

Richard threw Bernard's body into the coffin, fearing that Karun would think it was not rough enough and ask him to carry it again.

Mr. Eisen took out scrolls of magic spells from his robe and covered the coffin lid with them.

This scene surprised Karun. He didn't use any teleportation scrolls to bring things over, which meant that he carried all these magic scrolls with him.

"You can really hide things on you. Fortunately, you told me about it. If you were married and had children, with your ability to hide things, even your son's pacifier would be hidden," Mr. Eisen's breathing became slightly heavier.

"Richard, go outside and fetch some stream water. There are coconut trees outside the cave, pick a few coconuts as well. Be careful, there are many venomous snakes outside."

"Alright, leave it to me." Richard immediately went out to find supper for everyone.

After he left, Karun said to Mr. Eisen, "Prepare with peace of mind."

Mr. Eisen nodded and said, "The longer I spend time with him, the more I suspect whether he is really my biological son."

"There's no need to doubt that."

"Yes, but I find it increasingly difficult to accept." Mr. Eisen's mouth twitched into a smile, although it was brief. In the past, he would not have shown such an interactive expression.

Karun noticed that Mr. Eisen might have been suppressed for a long time. He had vented his anger on his son before, and now he had been involved in this "illegal and disorderly" act with the captain and himself, which allowed him to relax better mentally.

For some people, the combination of work and rest was an excuse to be lazy, but for others, if they didn't rest and release stress, they would really die.

Karun stood by and observed Mr. Eisen's actions.

First, he arranged formations on the coffin, or more precisely, supplemented the formations on this coffin, allowing it to be used in the future.

After that, he took out a magic cube, suspended it in front of him, and a thread overflowed from the cube. He used his fingertips to manipulate this thread, imprinting the formations from the scrolls onto Bernard's body while connecting his body with the thread.

This feeling was like treating Bernard as a wooden board, and the formations were like pendants hanging on it.

By using the thread as a traction, the damage to the body could be minimized, allowing more residual spiritual power to be retained.

It seemed simple, but it was actually quite complicated. This magic cube should be an exclusive ability of his mother's family, because on the night when he took action against reincarnation, Karun saw his grandfather, Lord Delong, also use it.

"Is this a sacred artifact or a magic spell?" Karun pointed to the magic cube and asked.

"It can be considered both a sacred artifact and a magic spell. Its function is to assist in calculations. For the manipulator of formations, it can greatly reduce the burden."

"Can I learn it?" Karun asked.

"Well..." Mr. Eisen hesitated for a moment, "You should have a better method."

"Is it related to bloodline?" Karun discovered something.

"Yes, people with the bloodline of the Guman family seem to have a more convenient mastery of it."

Mr. Eisen didn't say it definitively, but in fact, this magic cube was probably a bloodline-restricted ability.

"Can Richard learn it?" Karun asked.

"He can, but he can only truly activate his own magic cube when he reaches the level of a judge. He also has one."

"Oh, I see."

After returning, Karun could borrow Richard's magic cube and let Kevin and Puerh study it. As for the magic spells using this magic cube, he could also learn from Richard.

The bloodline of the Guman family... he also had it.

Karun now realized that his understanding of formations should not just stay at the basic level. He needed to improve his level as soon as possible. He still had the formation notes left by Mr. Hofen, plus the Guman family's magic cube. It would be twice the result with half the effort.

Mr. Eisen said again, "You didn't ask him to leave just now, I would have found a reason to let him leave as well."

"Well, you've spent a lot this time." Karun knew that each of these scrolls was valuable.

"It's alright. The scrolls were made to be used. I think it's worth using them here."After about two hours, Mr. Aisen finally finished setting up all the formations. If he were to draw the formations from scratch, it would probably take three days and require a lot of materials. However, with the use of so many spell scrolls, it was like using a ready-made meal kit. All he had to do was open the bag, heat it up, and it was ready to serve.

Bernar's body was covered in various colored marks, each one a different formation with different effects: weakness, gravity, mental suppression, binding, and so on...

Explosive formations were placed at the back of his head and heart, as a precaution against any possible accidents.

Karun couldn't help but sigh. No matter how powerful Bernar was in life, once he was awakened, he wouldn't be able to move. Because Karun had implanted countless bombs inside him.

Mr. Aisen wiped the sweat from his face, admiring his work on the body of the greatest clan leader of Darkmoon Island, a satisfied expression on his face.

At this moment, Richard came back, his left hand holding a vine wrapped with seven or eight coconuts, and his right hand holding a branch with a large piece of roasted python meat.

Seeing this, Karun suddenly felt that his little cousin was quite useful.

Karun and Mr. Aisen sat down and began to eat the roasted snake meat.

Richard cracked open a coconut for each of them and placed it in front of them. Then he went to the coffin to observe Bernar. As the young master of the Guman family, his current abilities might not be up to standard, but his appreciation ability was still there.

He excitedly said, "Damn, Memphis, you're a genius in formations. I think my dad is far behind you in this aspect."

Mr. Aisen looked up at Richard and asked, "Your father's formation skills are not high?"

"Huh, all he has left is the ability to beat me with the Order Cage. If you have time, teach me. I don't know why, but I've been dreaming these past few nights about going home and getting beaten by my dad.

I need to improve myself quickly. Next time he wants to lay a hand on me, I can use the formations you taught me to hang him up and let him sober up. Tell him that using domestic violence on his son is a very low-level and stupid behavior, hehe."

Mr. Aisen: "Hehe."

After eating their late-night snack and replenishing their energy.

Karun wiped his hands with a leaf and stood up.

Now,

It was time to begin.

Richard stared excitedly at Karun and asked, "My intuition tells me, Karun, you can really do it, but how?"

"The Awakening spell is also tiered. This is what I've realized. You need to keep this secret for me."

"Of course, we're good brothers!"

"Good, then I'll teach it to you when I have time."

"Haha, okay, okay!"

Mr. Aisen reached out and pulled Richard, signaling him to be quiet.

He knew that there were no secrets to the Awakening spell. What mattered was the realm and the price. Karun could awaken Bernar because he had the strength and foundation. His naive son actually believed there was some special shortcut!

Karun stared at Bernar lying in the coffin, raised his hand, and pointed at him. From under Karun's feet, a majestic and ancient black chain appeared.

"Do you think death is the end?

Now, wake up for me. Let's settle our accounts.

Order - Awakening!"

The black chain extended into the coffin and entered Bernar's body.

Karun closed his eyes, waiting for the spiritual power to be drawn from his body.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

Richard and Mr. Aisen, standing behind him, were on their tiptoes, trying to see what was happening inside. The father and son even had the same action of craning their necks.

Karun opened his eyes,

For the first time, his Awakening ability had failed.

But there was no disappointment on Karun's face. Instead, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, gradually turning into laughter. In the end, the laughter grew louder, revealing his excitement.

"Heh...hehe...hahaha..."

He didn't believe that his ability to awaken the dead would never fail, but he also didn't believe that the first failure would happen to Bernar.

So,

This only meant one possibility, a possibility that excited and surprised Karun;

That was:

"Bernar, you're actually still alive!"
