Chapter 113 [Godhead] Law! The inheritance of Iolum!
Dream space.
The maze library seemed to be a kingdom of God on earth, covering Sean's dream world. He sat in front of Ms. Hecate, who appeared in the form of a young girl, and told her about his experiences and insights during this period. At the same time, he told the teacher in front of him some of his understandings and cognitions from the five thousand years of civilization on Earth.
At first, Lady Hecate listened casually. After all, it was rare for a demigod of death to condescend to listen to an apprentice's explanation.
But as time passed, Ms. Hecate's expression became more and more serious. She carefully thought about every word Xiao En said, and slowly a trace of shock appeared on her face. In her thoughtful eyes, she murmured: "Unification of knowledge and action?"
"Mind is better than matter? Transcend the ordinary and become a saint?"
After Xiao En finished telling her about his experience and insights during this period, Ms. Hecate fell into a long period of contemplation. She didn't know how long she had been in the dream. She slowly raised her head and murmured, "If this human sage who proposed the 'unity of knowledge and action' you mentioned was in our world, it would be easy for him to be deified!"
Sean was not surprised by what Ms. Hecate said. He even felt that Ms. Hecate underestimated the strength of the sage.
Conferred God?
If that sage really entered the world of supernatural powers, he would be a person who would attain enlightenment and become a saint.
Although Ms. Hecate's strength far exceeds that of Sean and she can easily crush a mortal like him to death, she is limited in her understanding of the world due to the cognition of the times.
To describe it in the way of driving raw magic, Ms. Hecate is driving the activated knowledge, just like riding a horse, even though her riding skills have reached the pinnacle and are superb, even though she has complete control over the activated knowledge and can control it with her own will.
But in essence she is still riding a horse. No matter how good her riding skills are, it is still riding. No matter how powerful her activation knowledge is, it is nothing more than a dragon horse, a Pegasus, a divine horse, and other creations. In essence, the laws of knowledge remain unchanged, and she is still a living creature. It's just that the living creatures controlled by the demigod of death are stronger, and can even inject their own will into the activation knowledge, completely transforming it into a carrier of their own personality fragments.
Lady Hecate is the master of her own animated knowledge, and she has reached her limits in this path.
Xiao En's understanding opened up another track.
Strictly speaking, when Xiao En asked the question, he had already killed the activated knowledge in his brain, erased its own consciousness, and also erased some false, crazy, and distorted laws.
To use the same metaphor to describe it, Sean's driving method is driving a vehicle, and his driving skills are not very good. Currently, he is just at the entry level. Maybe his driving skills will reach the pinnacle in the future, but it is definitely not good enough at the moment.
The mysterious knowledge in Sean's brain is another thing. It is like a bicycle, motorcycle, car, airplane, rocket, etc. It is essentially a tool, not a living thing with consciousness.
No matter how powerful Ms. Hecate is, she still uses activated knowledge. No matter how weak Sean is, he uses twisted mysterious knowledge.
The former is a living thing, and the latter is a tool.
Ms. Hecate's destiny is to inject her own personality fragments and consciousness clones into the revitalizing knowledge, and turn the revitalizing knowledge into a second personality fragment that she can control. In essence, she is replacing the old consciousness with her own consciousness and becoming the master of the revitalizing knowledge.
In the end, she still needs to rely on the laws of activating knowledge.
Before Xiao En achieved enlightenment, he wiped out the activity of knowledge and turned it into a tool similar to artificial intelligence. Unless he himself fell into a state of madness, the activated knowledge in his brain is no longer a living thing.
All this means that Sean's insights into what he told Ms. Hecate are subversive in the entire weird kingdom.
"Blind and foolish?"
"It turns out that we are also blinded by blindness and stupidity!"
Ms. Hecate stared deeply at Xiao En in front of her, as if she had reacquainted herself with her disciple at this moment. She murmured, "Do you know how important everything you said to me today is?"
Xiao En bowed his head respectfully and said, "I just want to do something for the teacher."
Hearing Xiao En's words, Ms. Hecate was stunned for a moment, then she smiled, as if spring flowers were blooming. She stared at the disciple in front of her and said solemnly: "I am thoughtful."
A new path to deification has appeared before Lady Hecate.
She never imagined that after hundreds of years of pondering, it was finally an unexpected disciple who enlightened her.
She had been taking the wrong path all along.
Without fundamentally changing the operating rules of activated knowledge, she will never be able to truly master the fundamental power of magic!
In order to truly practice what Sean said, Ms. Hecate must first kill the 'knowledge', kill the 'activated knowledge' that she has accumulated and plundered for hundreds of years. This process may weaken her strength, but if she really kills her own knowledge, then everything will be different.
"Kill knowledge?" Lady Hecate had a flash of enlightenment at this moment.
The lady fell into deep thought again.
After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes, and a faint golden divine light appeared in her eyes that seemed to shine like stars. Ms. Hecate looked at Xiao En in front of her, smiled slightly, raised her fingers and tapped the table, and said calmly: "You haven't been to class for a long time."
"Sit down."
"Today I will teach you some knowledge about this distant universe."
what?
No.
I came here to teach you a lesson, why are you suddenly giving me a lesson now?
Xiao En was stunned, but still sat down obediently.
After all, Ms. Hecate is one of the most powerful demigods in the Path of Death. She quickly digested everything Sean said, and even had a deeper understanding. She had her own realization of the "knowledge of killing". Now all she lacked was practice. She had to arrange everything first before she could concentrate on seclusion and transform her own original laws.
If Lady Hecate succeeds, she will be the most promising god-ascending person in thousands of years!
It’s still the small desk it used to be.
Lady Hecate smiled, as if she were the beautiful goddess of spring in ancient Greece.
Her attitude towards Xiao En changed invisibly. At this moment, Xiao En was no longer just her disciple. His value to her far exceeded that of anyone else!
blah blah blah!
Ms. Hecate knocked on the desk, bringing Sean back to consciousness after he was distracted by her beautiful smile. Then she said calmly, "Today I will tell you about the origin of magic."
"And things outside the universe."
This topic instantly woke Xiao En up. He knew that the teacher was going to teach him important knowledge that was beyond the syllabus.
Ms. Hecate said calmly: "In the Weird Kingdom, the origin of magic comes from other crystal wall universes."
"The most important place is a crystal wall system called the Kingdom Sky."
"It's just that after entering the Weird Kingdom, all this knowledge was distorted by the laws and could only be transformed again, which formed the many extraordinary paths in the Weird Kingdom today."
"The magical civilization of the Weird Kingdom has three different inheritances."
"The first one comes from the crystal wall system of the Kingdom Sky, mainly from the planes of Faerun and Grey Eagle. This is the magic of human civilization. Its origin is the ancient Nether scroll, the inheritance of the ancient witch. I will open the corresponding historical knowledge to you in the future, and you can read it yourself in the library."
"The second one comes from the ancient elves of the country of Avandor. It mainly inherits the advanced magic of the elves. They once had an extremely powerful interstellar empire. This branch of inheritance is more proficient in legendary spells, because the elves are a race favored by the source of magic."
"The third one is from the Eastern Kingdom in the Savage Sky Region. It is the inheritance of the Zhendan Empire, the embodiment of Eastern civilization, and the birthplace of Eastern witches. Their understanding of magic is different from ours. They are more adept at controlling the power of elements in the Five Elements. This ancient Eastern Empire almost ascended to become an interstellar civilization. The White Jade Capital in the sky, the Twelve Golden Men of Zhendan, Changyuan, etc., are all world wonders they researched and forged."
Lady Hecate calmly tells ancient secrets, some of which are even knowledge beyond this universe.
She pondered for a moment and continued, "You are now a transcendent who has been promoted through both arcane and spiritual paths."
"I can't give you too much guidance."
"So, let me tell you where the origin of the advanced profession of the Orionist comes from."
"But not before that."
"First, I want to tell you about a person. Or rather, an elder mastermind lich who can no longer be considered human—Iolum!"
"He is the most powerful being in the entire multiverse, mastering both the arcane and the spiritual."
"This being has also been to the distant universe."
"But He eventually went mad and gave up his identity as the greatest archmage, transforming into an abominable, crazy elder master lich."
Knowledge vibrates.
Sean realized that everything that Lady Hecate said now was very important to him, because that was the origin of the law of arcane and spiritual power. Lady Hecate calmly told everything about 'Iolum', the greatest arcanist in history, the founder of the Nether Empire, the inventor of the floating city, etc. He is also one of the most powerful arcanists known to date. (Challenge Rating 68)
Everything that Lady Hecate said stopped at the time when Iolum was transformed from a human into an 'Elder Mastermind Lich' due to madness.
There is no doubt about it.
This great arcanist might have also been corrupted by the crazy laws of the distant universe, or he might have seen something, which is why he suddenly transformed from a human into a mastermind lich.
Xiao En always felt that when he was promoted, the changes in his brain seemed to be somewhat obvious, and he inexplicably thought of the "master brain".
It turns out that the source of everything is here.
"The first union of arcane and spiritual laws."
"It originated from the invasion of other universes by the Mind Flayer Empire. At that time, the monsters brought the power of the laws of the mind path."
"At the same time, the mind flayers began to study the arcane knowledge of humans."
"During the millennia when they enslaved the Gith, many arcane spellcasters emerged in the Mind Flayer Empire."
“It was also during that period.”
"The legacy of the Orcs has appeared. This legacy has a lot to do with Iolum, because He is one of the earliest beings who mastered both the arcane and the laws of the mind."
"The inheritance of this extraordinary path was eventually carried forward by the Mind Flayer Empire."
"The anomalous creatures practiced both arcane magic and psychic powers, and dominated and enslaved one material planet after another, expanding their territory to a point that even the gods could not accept."
Lady Hecate pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "You have now transformed into the spellcasting ability of an arcanist."
"That is to say, your heritage is not exactly the same as those of the strange empires."
"Your destiny path."
"It is closer to 'Iolum', which is the combination of arcanists and the law of the mind. This is also the original origin of the heritage of the arcanists."
Knowledge is roaring.
Xiao En felt that the bottleneck of promotion had been completely broken through and he could start the next step of promotion at any time.
“This extraordinary path.”
"No one here can give you guidance unless you can find the legendary 'Iolum'. But you can't trust Him either, because He has gone mad and is hiding in a hidden corner of the multiverse."
Ms. Hecate told Xiao En everything she knew. After a long while, when Xiao En had digested and memorized this knowledge, the lady knocked on the table and said calmly, "Next."
"Let's talk about the origins of necromancy."
"This must involve a figure from the ancient god era, the ancient god of death - Jergal."
"An ancient being that is closest to the God above all gods."
"The original source of the Path of Death in the Weird Country is an unknown death recorder, a soul from another world in the Forgotten Country."
"He is the recorder who serves the ancient god of death, Jergal."
"This kind of existence is called the clerk of death, the notary of doom. Their job is to record death, the death of mortals, the death of gods, the death of the world, the death of the crystal wall system, and even the death of the entire multiverse..."
"After reincarnating into the Weird Kingdom, this soul from another world brought with it the ability of the death realm, forming the original inheritance of the School of Necromancer."
"Before he fell, he completed the record of death."
"And, he was the one who finally found the only way to kill the Old One who governed the Law of Death during the Dark Age."
"This last method was accomplished by the unknown people together!"
It's also because of this.
Among the twelve mythical paths of the weird kingdom, the path of death is the most powerful!
All the knowledge Sean had learned in the past was completed at this moment. Why the spells learned and mastered in the weird country must involve knowledge from other alien worlds, and why the wizard's extraordinary path would use spell systems from other worlds.
It turns out that the root of everything is here.
Back then, the nameless people came to the weird kingdom with only their thoughts. They used supernatural powers from another world, and their starting point was lower than that of Sean now.
At this moment, Lady Hecate was almost completely open with Sean and told him all the secrets she knew.
Just like Xiao En taught him everything he knew without reservation, the master and disciple completed the "fusion of knowledge" at this moment.
Originated from the inheritance of 5,000-year-old civilization on Earth.
Originated from the inheritance of many alien civilizations.
this moment!
The sparks of thought generated by the collision between the two had a profound impact on their future paths.
What Ms. Hecate needed most was the idea of 'killing knowledge' and the method of how to kill knowledge. Now Sean gave her the answer, and the road to becoming a god was now completely open to her.
In the old days of the weird kingdom, there were special gods without any godhood.
The demigods plundered a large amount of divine power, but they did not have the godhead to support themselves in seizing the priesthood and ultimately mastering the fundamental laws of the world.
Unless they accept the pollution and become the same old days without divinity.
——【Godhead】is actually here!
Killing knowledge, the mysterious knowledge of artificial intelligence that Sean mentioned, is the divine law of this universe.
Why does activated knowledge have such powerful capabilities?
By extracting a transcendent relic, you can instantly master a new spell?
Why is knowledge a resource?
In the weird country, the road chases people, rather than people chasing the road.
The source is right here.
In the old days, even the laws of the Godhead were activated, and the activated knowledge itself represented fragments of the laws of the Godhead.
All extraordinary people are potential gods!
In order to condense the godhood, the nameless people back then used computer hardware and artificial intelligence software to create Seal No. 0 and Seal No. 1. Their fusion together would become the greatest legacy - the artificial godhood!
This is also one of the important reasons why Xiao En was plotted against by other demigods.
Now, Ms. Hecate knew how she should condense the "Godhead". She had always had a church in the real country, but she had never actively accepted the power of faith because she did not have the "Godhead" law and she had no way to handle and transform the huge power of faith.
It is also because of this that there are no extraordinary paths for priests in the weird kingdom.
Those extraordinary beings called priests all use power from other sources. There is no real divine magic in the weird kingdom!
Killing the knowledge of life is the original law of the Godhead.
The Godhead is condensed by the laws of knowledge!
When knowledge is stripped of any self-awareness, it can serve as a carrier of the Godhead, like a super artificial intelligence used to process the vast network of beliefs of the gods.
The transformation of the world begins at this moment!
Sean may not have the power to interfere with the entire world for the time being, but Lady Hecate does. If she succeeds, the world will become different.
