In reality, after Bethel expressed his desire to investigate the future Lord of Mysteries, Lynn thought for a few seconds before selectively revealing some information about Klein. He mainly shared details about Klein's sequence, strength, character, and knowledge level.
Lynn did not disclose any information related to Klein's real-world identity to Bethel. This wasn't because he didn't trust Bethel, but rather because he didn't trust the Mother Goddess of Depravity. Just as Bethel worried about the corruption within himself, Lynn also had this concern. Therefore, he would not give the Mother Goddess of Depravity a chance to locate Klein in the real world. With the vague information Lynn provided and the isolation by the Sefirah Castle, not even the Goddess of Depravity, nor any other outer god, could divine Klein's location.
Only The Lord of Mysteries, however, is an exception and might be able to locate the Sefirah Castle.
As for sending people to search in the real world based on this information, Lynn could only wish them good luck.
Upon hearing that the future Lord of Mysteries was currently only Sequence 7 and had become a Beyonder for less than four months, even Mr. Door, who had seen many of Lynn's outrageous actions, was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you sure he has enough time?"
It's well known that the barrier outside Earth could only be maintained until 1368, and it was already 1349.
In a decade or so, it's challenging for an ordinary person to rise to Sequence 4, let alone become the Lord of Mysteries.
In response, Lynn, who had read the original story of Mysteries, calmly smiled and said, "Even without my help, in his original timeline, he would have become the Lord of Mysteries in three years."
Half a Lord of Mysteries is still a Lord of Mysteries. Even if he falls asleep immediately after becoming a half Lord of Mysteries, he still becomes the Lord of Mysteries.

Even Mr. Door, who was well-versed in many things, was deeply shocked at this moment. He looked at Lynn incredulously, and after a long while, uncertainly asked, "Is he as overpowered as you?"
—Having spent a lot of time with Lynn, Bethel had evidently picked up some slang from the Pre-Epoch.
"No, he's just a human, a respectable human," Lynn shook his head seriously.
Bethel fell silent again. After a while, he sighed and said, "I think I understand why you chose him so resolutely..."
A human becoming the Lord of Mysteries within three years was an achievement Bethel couldn't even imagine.
Suddenly, Bethel asked, "It sounds like he doesn't have a good teacher?"
"There is one, but not a formal one, and it's not from the three pathways. The teacher also has some memory issues..." Lynn shook his head and looked at Bethel in surprise. "Do you want to be his teacher?"
"I just hope he can avoid some detours..." Bethel did not deny it, then rarely smiled, "I may not be able to say much, but at least regarding the Seer, Marauder, and Apprentice pathways, I know a few things..."
"That's quite humble of you," Lynn couldn't help but tease.
"So, is it possible?" Bethel asked Lynn.
"Becoming an official teacher might be difficult, but just teaching some knowledge, I don't think he'll refuse. And given his character, he will likely respect you as a teacher..." Lynn thought for a moment and answered seriously.
"That's enough," Bethel nodded. His desire to become the future Lord of Mysteries' teacher was not just on a whim but a well-thought-out decision.
On one hand, Bethel truly hoped the future Lord of Mysteries could avoid some detours. For the Three Mysteries Pathway that rely heavily on information and pre-arranged plans, having a reliable teacher would definitely not be a bad thing.
On the other hand, Bethel hoped to better understand the future Lord of Mysteries through teaching, to confirm what kind of person he was and whether he was a suitable candidate for the Lord of Mysteries.
Teaching also serves as an evaluation.
Compared to pure observation or simple interaction, becoming a teacher and student would allow Bethel to better understand the other person.
Lynn was naturally aware of Bethel's thoughts and was pleased with them. Although Klein had not left the church, and compared to the original story, he had a more stable source of mystical knowledge, the Evernight Church did not possess explicit knowledge related to the Three Mysteries Pathway. The knowledge Klein could gain from the Evernight Church was general and basic Beyonder knowledge. In terms of training for the Three Mysteries Pathway, the Evernight Church could not compare to Mr. Door.
Lynn even dared to say that even the Evernight Goddess herself probably did not have as extensive knowledge in this area as Bethel did.
A good teacher may not make you progress rapidly, but they can certainly help you avoid many detours.
"I think he'll be very happy to have you as a teacher..." Lynn couldn't help but smile. Then, remembering something, his expression turned subtle, and he said, "By the way, if you find another me with him when you call, don't be too surprised."
"Hmm?" Bethel immediately looked at Lynn with confusion.
"Well, you know, I exist in many timelines simultaneously, and this one is particularly special," Lynn said with a calm face, "In this timeline, there are often two of me at the same time. One represents humanity, the other divinity. One possesses power, the other has just reached Sequence 7."
"And the human version of me has some memory issues. If he seems unfamiliar with you, don't be too surprised," Lynn continued. He was speaking the truth with no lies.
Bethel looked stunned. He hadn't expected this. After a few seconds, he asked, "Are you the divine version?"
"Surprised?" Lynn glanced at Bethel.
Mr. Door honestly nodded.
"Then when you meet the human version of me, you'll probably be even more surprised," Lynn said with a smile. Although they were the same person, his behavior when using his main account versus his alternate accounts did have some differences.
The first alternate account was the most childish, the second the most arrogant, the divine incarnation loved speaking in riddles, and the main account emphasized simplicity and obedience. This was not entirely a disguise but rather how a person can present different aspects of themselves in different situations.
"I look forward to it..." Bethel tried to imagine a more human version of Lynn but couldn't, so he gave up and asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"
"No need to worry. We will eventually merge into one. This is not an accident, and there is nothing that needs assistance," Lynn shook his head.
Recollecting the memories, Lynn looked at Klein, whose expression showed surprise but whose eyes were bright. He then controlled the Angel of Secrets to snap his fingers again.
"Snap—"
Once again, the space changed. In just an instant, Emlyn reappeared beside the group.
"Where did you just go? Where did you suddenly come from?" Emlyn was clearly very surprised, his eyes widening as he spoke.
However, the others didn't have time to pay attention to him. The Angel of Secrets merely smiled and said, "Until next time, Lynn and little Seer."
"When you need me, I will appear before you again."
