“Ugh, wasn’t this rock from the pocket of the robe on the wall?”
Lin Sheng endured the surge of information into his mind as he stood up .
The black lines from the rock had lessened as the white light and purple glow too had faded along with it .
Pieces upon pieces of memory fragments, countless voices, conversations, and sensations were all muddled in Lin Sheng’s already buzzing head .
Just like a massive stew with boatloads of ingredients thrown in at the same time .
“Are these… Ancellia’s memories?” Lin Sheng heard the name from the memories . But the memories from the rock were probably just a tiny portion, while the ones that were transmitted to him were chaotic and blurry .
As time passed, the memory transfer weakened and finally stopped…
*Crack!*
The mysterious rock seemed to have completed its mission as it shattered in Lin Sheng’s hand and fell onto the ground into a smattering of black dust .
Lin Sheng took a deep breath as he straightened himself .
“It’s finally over…”

He massaged his temple and felt the massage ease the biting pain somewhat .
To him, the memory fragments were like him watching a series of different movies at the same time . Not only was his vision locked in first person, but they also had a fully immersive virtual reality effect to them .
While it may sound terrifying, but in reality aside from a few muscle memories being absorbed, the rest of the memories did not seem to do much .
Most of them allowed him to see the world from a different perspective .
“I hope I can get more of this, but at the same time I worry about running into danger . ” Lin Sheng sat on the bed and wiped the sweat off with both of his hands .
This dream was so real that it had imprinted itself on all his senses .
“What a dilemma . ” He smiled bitterly .
Even though he would hesitate and worry about everything before any action, but when he actually runs into trouble, he would still march on .
“When you are hesitant and unsure, be stronger . The only thing you won’t regret is being stronger yourself . ”
This was Lin Sheng’s motto, and it was his drive to study ancient language in his past life .
Frankly speaking, he did not like those dry and dreary ancient languages, but at times, choices were limited and he had no other options .
As he broke out of his thoughts, he quickly got up and moved his body to check if everything was okay . Only then did he arranged the memory that he had absorbed .

There were not many memories about Ancellia, and most of the contents were dry and boring, mostly about her idyllic young life .
She was born to a middle nobility of Blackfeather City and her life was lavish and sheltered since young . Fortunately for her, she did not develop the typical noble pride and temper, and instead join the Sanctum and became one of the warriors of the Sanctum .
After that, it was the tale of her training in Blackfeather City and inheritance the Ashen Seal – Sanctuary as she climbed up the ranks of the sanctum and became a Sanctum Knight .
All of these memories were blurry and shortened, with scant details .
As if it was an unclear concept .
In Ancellia’s chaotic memory, there were two pieces of memories clearest to Lin Sheng .
One was her charging into a massive gate oozing black liquid, like a whirling black hole or a tide of writhing insects . Another was when she came to train in Snowgale Fortress and obtained the Ashen Seal there .
It was a seal unique to Snowgale Fortress—Furious Howl .
“An Ashen Seal! A second one!” Lin Sheng was excited .
The Sanctuary’s abilities were very practical, and if meditated on properly, plus a layer of armor, it is as good as having an extra set of protection that your normal folks . Good for keeping yourself alive .
“And I wonder what this Ashen Seal does?”
Lin Sheng forced his excited self to calm down and started to recall the mysterious seal in his memory .

That Ashen Seal in his mind was like a gray crystal, exuding a warm light . “It is really an Ashen Seal, it is all ash in color . ” Lin Sheng started meditating .
For him, meditating on the Ashen Seal was already a well-versed process . But this was a new Ashen Seal, and he needed to get used to it .
Lin Sheng closed his eyes and started focusing on the moving lines of the seal . When meditating the seal, he needed to focus and move along the lines . Once he had reached the other end of a line, a round is completed .
After trying it out, he finally latched on to the trick, and after three failures, he had finally managed to complete a full round of meditation .
*Bang!*
The moment he completed his meditation, the entire seal lit up .
Lines upon lines of information flowed from the seal into his mind .
“Oh unknown existence, when you have seen this message, that meant I’m already dead . No matter how determined you are, how resolute you are, the end may not always be perfect . Such is life . After putting everything on the line, my life, my soul, and even my existence, but I still failed . Yet I still believe that God does exist, but just that I was not able to meet God . ”
Lin Sheng could tell that this was Ancellia using the powers of the Ashen Seal to temporary store a message .
He then continued watching .
“If you are willing, you can choose to tread the path that I had not completed, and marched forth . Search for the existence of God, but if you are not willing . Consider me having said nothing . ”
“For you to activate the power of this seal; that means you have already awakened your holy powers . Here, I will leave you the last remaining trail regarding the Holy Sanctum, the last relic . ”
After that, it was all about the Holy Sanctum, the basic training methods of holy power, some points to note plus countless analysis, research, and laws regarding holy power .
In such a short span of time, Lin Sheng could not fully understand these few yet profound words .
He could only memorize them, and imprint them in his mind .
Then something struck him .
“If I can look for a permanent, unchanging place to stay that would not disappear, can I jot all of the important stuff in my notebook and leave it here?”
Lin Sheng was starting to think way too far ahead . The dream was always changing . But his current dream state has stabilized, and ever since he left Blackfeather City, he had managed to return to the room he had lived .
That made him think that perhaps there was a sort of function when something happened to him in Blackfeather City, he would instantaneously be brought back to where he lived .
“If I could make out this function, perhaps I could realize the idea of setting up a place to stay in the dream . ”
He then put the thoughts away and started studying the materials about holy power .
As for Ancellia, he had no comment . She was clearly a holy knight who bore much burden . She had the title, the light of hope, her disposition naïve and pure . He did not know what Ancellia was up to, but it was probably something grand like saving the world or the likes .
“Sadly, I’m not really interested in that, so I’ll take what information you have, as for your path, too bad . ”
