Whatever the method, as long as one existed, there was no problem.
The magic mirror quickly provided a solution, but upon seeing it, Olivia couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
She paused for a moment, then directly manifested the magic mirror from her palm, turning it into a small hand mirror and holding it before her eyes.
She asked directly, "Is there really no risk to this method? Won't there be any hidden dangers?"
【There are no hidden dangers to this method; it only affects the success rate of the endeavor. As long as the correct time node is found, the probability of success can still reach one hundred percent.】
The solution provided by the magic mirror was simple and crude: Olivia would advance to become a Domainist and then deal with the trouble in that capacity.
With the many methods Olivia mastered, even just becoming a Domainist would be enough for her to contend with a Skywalker.
Currently, Olivia had not yet felt that sense of state completion. To become a Domainist now, she would have to perform an early advancement, which obviously carried significant risk.
However, the magic mirror believed this was feasible.
It told Olivia that throughout the course of today, the probability of her successful advancement would range from a low of 10% to a high of 100%, with different success rates at different times.
As long as she chose the correct time and performed the advancement when the probability reached 100%, nothing would go wrong.
And that 100% window was not very far off.
Upon hearing this, Olivia couldn't help but feel a bit tense.
She knew she couldn't hesitate any longer; a decision had to be made quickly.
If she missed today's window, she would either have to wait for Everett to rescue Thales or attempt a forced advancement when the success rate was not 100%.
Rather than that, it was better to seize this opportunity.
Since the magic mirror said she had a chance for 100% success, she naturally had no reason to miss it.
Immediately, Olivia used the King's Domain to teleport to the back of the Sunset Forest. She then walked quickly inside to find Ivy, telling her that she was about to begin the advancement ritual and asking Ivy to help her prepare.
"So soon?"
When Ivy heard Olivia's words, she was clearly a bit stunned.
Only yesterday had she told Olivia to inform her when she needed to advance so she could make arrangements. She never would have imagined that Olivia would come back just the next day.
"You've already felt your state reach completion?" Ivy asked in confusion.
Regarding this question, Olivia could only choose to lie.
She told Ivy that she had indeed already felt that sense of completion.
"Since you've reached completion, I will naturally make the proper arrangements for you. As for the specific time..."
"Regarding the time, I'd like to decide that myself," Olivia immediately offered her opinion.
The time the magic mirror provided was for the advancement ritual to begin at exactly 2:00 PM, so she needed to schedule everything for after 2:00.
Ivy, naturally, had no objection to this.
She set to work on the arrangements immediately and told Olivia where the ritual would take place.
Just like last time, this ritual required two locations.
After discussing the details with Ivy, Olivia left the Daylight Cathedral. In her mind, the details of the fourth advancement ritual for an Ascetic surfaced.
...
Ascetic Fourth Advancement Ritual:
Personal Preparation: Must not have any emotions.
Items: One stick of Enlightenment Incense, 100ml of Mind-Nourishing Liquid, and one book written in Sylvan Runes.
Method: Light the Enlightenment Incense, drink the Mind-Nourishing Liquid, and finish reading the book written in Sylvan Runes to enter a state of sudden spiritual surge. Afterward, head to the city district. In an area with a sufficient crowd, place yourself in the center. The people around you must possess various emotions such as pain, anger, joy, etc. Feel their emotions and manipulate them, weaving them into your own emotional domain.
...
To start, when lighting the Enlightenment Incense and drinking the Mind-Nourishing Liquid, the environment had to be quiet.
The process of this ritual required a transition from silence into clamor.
Therefore, Olivia returned to her home at 88 Annus Street.
As for the bustling environment, it would be arranged at a square on Annus Street this time, so the distance wasn't far.
Back at home, Olivia pulled out a book written entirely in Sylvan Runes.
This was a book used for learning Sylvan Runes, containing short stories with relatively simple vocabulary.
There were many books written in Sylvan Runes, but the magic mirror recommended only this one; using other books might lower the success rate of Olivia's advancement.
Olivia didn't know why this was the case; it was likely a matter of metaphysics.
Of course, it could also be explained in a more transcendent way: her consciousness fluctuations would differ while reading different Sylvan Rune books.
Some fluctuations would increase her advancement success rate, while others would only bring negative effects.
In any case, since this was the magic mirror's suggestion, she would follow it.
Olivia had already obtained the Enlightenment Incense and Mind-Nourishing Liquid. All that remained was to wait for 2:00 PM to begin.
...
Time flowed slowly. With the magic mirror present, Olivia wasn't afraid of missing the time.
Gradually, 2:00 PM arrived.
Once she confirmed the time was precisely 2:00, Olivia lit the Enlightenment Incense in her room.
This was a special item that, once lit, emitted a peculiar fragrance capable of quieting the mind of anyone who smelled it while simultaneously stimulating their spiritual power.
One could say it was a special item capable of temporarily enhancing spirituality.
In many situations, transcendents would light a stick of Enlightenment Incense to ensure that whatever they intended to do proceeded smoothly.
Whether it was setting up a ritual, crafting runes, or, as in this moment, performing an advancement ritual.
With the Enlightenment Incense lit, Olivia smelled the drifting fragrance and felt her body become light as a feather.
Next, she took out the Mind-Nourishing Liquid. It was a bottle of deep blue liquid, and its effect was also to strengthen one's spirituality.
While breathing in the faint scent of the Enlightenment Incense, Olivia brought the Mind-Nourishing Liquid to her lips and drank the entire 100ml.
Then, she picked up the book of short stories written in Sylvan Runes and began to read slowly.
