Chapter 156 Knowledge Library!
The god you called upon is online.

Xiao En's understanding of gods is still at a relatively preliminary stage. According to his current knowledge, there are probably the following types of rituals specifically directed to certain gods.

1. The god you called is out of service area (cannot be connected, or has fallen.)
2. The spirit you called is busy. (Read but not replied.)
3. The deity you are calling is busy and is being transferred to human service. (The call is transferred to a lower-level deity.)
4. The spirit you called is busy and is transferring to intelligent service. (Transferring to the spirit for processing.)
5. The spirit you called is sleeping. The pollution source is in place and is automatically connecting. (Old days, I have read it randomly.)
Except for the last case, where the Old One will send you a crazy 'virus package', other methods are not too dangerous, because you can't communicate with the existence of such a powerful person. To cast a ritual spell, you must have at least some strength. Even if ordinary people know all the knowledge of the ritual, they may not be able to activate it. It's like an ant on the side of the road waving its antennae at you, and you, as a human passing by, can't possibly take a look.

But if a puppy barks at you a few times and wags its tail to beg for food, you will probably take a second look and consider whether to throw it a bone.

Of course, if you are very busy, you will probably just take a look and leave.

The Old Ones are an exception, because the Old Ones are "hungry and don't choose food", or in other words, all beings are equal, regardless of whether they are good or bad, normal or monsters, as long as you dare to call, the Old Ones will dare to send you a "virus package", which is likely to contain a little meat, but the problem is that you must survive first before you have a chance to enjoy it. Through this ritual summoning, you can also be promoted to a transcendent, but most of them will be polluted and exploded at the beginning, and it is difficult to be promoted to the second level. In the end, the souls are basically converted and recycled by the Old Ones.

Sean is now playing a 'proper' demigod.

After casting the teleportation spell and returning to his residence, Sean immediately began to arrange the response ceremony. A true demigod would not need to be so troublesome as he could connect to his believers and family with just a thought. However, Sean currently only had this ability relying on the true name of 'Amon', so it would be more troublesome to respond in a short period of time.

In a gray fog.

Xiao En saw the soul of a fat man through the sacrificial ceremony. He couldn't be called fat, but rather rather sturdy. His facial features resembled those of a northerner, and he was not the soul mage he had seen before. However, this man also had a trace of soul sequence power, and he was probably the apprentice of that soul mage.

"Are you worried there might be a problem, so you let your apprentice test it out?" Xiao En raised his eyebrows.

If there is really a problem, this apprentice will be dead.

Xiao En did not intend to show up in person. His spirit instantly anchored the soul of the northerner. With the huge suction force of the ritual, the other party's consciousness was directly sucked into Xiao En's spiritual space. In fact, this is also a little trick of illusion. It is just the law of the spiritual path. It brings it into one's spiritual world through the spiritual connection. The body of the recipient remains at the place where the ritual was arranged.

"Where is this?"

Ryan slowly opened his eyes and looked around curiously. He was surrounded by a faint gray mist that was dissipating. In front of him stood a row of mottled gray-black bookshelves that seemed to have faded. Unlike the real world, he could clearly feel that nothing here was real.

not dead!

As long as you don't die, that's fine.

Ryan took a step forward tremblingly, trying to look through the bookshelf in front of him, but at this moment a dark and strange invisible hand stretched out from the ceiling, and an eyeball appeared in the palm of his hand, saying lightly: "Please show me the token."

Keepsake?

Ryan seemed to remember something, and instantly formed a secret seal of the initiation ceremony on his palm. After taking a look, the dark ghost hand said coldly: "You can only move on the first floor of the library for now."

How many floors does this library have?
Ryan's emotions had stabilized a lot at this moment. He looked up and saw a strange scene. It was an extremely huge giant tree, and underneath it was a group of creatures that looked like elves. In the center was a dark-skinned female figure.

——Erohine.

When Ryan focused his mind on the painting, he was surprised to learn about the painting's information and even gained some "knowledge", knowledge about the otherworldly world of the Spider Queen - Rose.

This is a portrait of a deity.

"Incredible!"

"The knowledge was actually poured directly into my brain!" Ryan's face was full of disbelief.

He did not learn anything, but just by looking at the painting for a while, he gained some knowledge about the other world. Although it was not much, only about 10,000 to 20,000 words, but all this magic undoubtedly shocked him.

As if it knew his thoughts, a cold mechanical voice said, "Knowledge can be traded here."

“Knowledge is also a resource.”

“You can upload knowledge in exchange for downloading rights to other knowledge.”

Strictly speaking, with Xiao En's current abilities, he cannot directly grant knowledge to other people, but he can infuse knowledge into the other person's brain, just like copying and pasting, copying it to the other person's brain hard drive, and directly suppressing and controlling the other person's activated knowledge to complete the replication.

But this process is like using a USB flash drive to copy data. The data is copied into your brain, but whether you can learn and master it is your own business.

If you store the knowledge in a USB flash drive and don't actively study it, it will be impossible for you to master it.

Trading knowledge?

Ryan had seen people trading books, scrolls, ancient secret volumes and other rare items before, but he had never seen such a magical way of trading.

He looked up respectfully and asked, "Who are you?"

A hazy shadow emerged, like a shadow covered with a gray cloak. It was not a physical entity, but a spiritual manifestation. He said calmly, "I am the librarian here."

Ryan bowed his head respectfully and said, "Your Excellency the Administrator."

"So, can I exchange any knowledge here?"

The administrator's eyes seemed to be a deep abyss. He said calmly: "Of course. The premise is that we have the knowledge you need here."

He floated calmly in the air, as if introducing something: "This library has not yet been completed, so there is only limited knowledge here. You can try to upload your own knowledge first, get the corresponding contribution points, and then exchange for the download rights of other knowledge?"

download?

Ryan asked in confusion: "What is downloading?"

The administrator stopped and said calmly: "According to your way of understanding, the knowledge you need will be stored directly in your brain."

Is there such a good thing?

Ryan quickly followed. He realized that this was a chance for him to change his fate. The teacher's cautiousness made him successful. He was the first person to try it. He was very perceptive and asked, "If it's the same knowledge, can I get the contribution points?"

The administrator said calmly: "Not at this time."

“But you can go and learn and collect new knowledge, upload it here, and complete the exchange.”

Ryan seemed to realize something and immediately said, "I want to upload the knowledge related to contract magic, soul magic, soul contract ceremony, and soul mage path."

"Can this be exchanged for contribution points?"

The same knowledge can only be uploaded once!
If you are a latecomer and don't have new knowledge, you may only be able to exchange contribution points through other means.

He now has a perfect start.

Soul Mage Larius missed this opportunity, and when he came again, his apprentice had already uploaded the middle and bottom knowledge of the Soul Mage Path, which meant that he lost a lot of contribution points. Larius could only gain contribution points by obtaining more profound knowledge that his apprentice did not know.

"can."

The administrator said calmly: "But before that, you'd better take a look here to see if there is any knowledge you need."

Upon hearing this, Ryan suppressed his inner excitement and walked around the library obediently.

——General Knowledge

The first row of bookshelves contains the knowledge of ordinary people. Xiao En once used reading magic to memorize almost half of the library, so there is all kinds of general knowledge here, such as astronomy, history, geography, etc., and their prices are very cheap. It only takes 10 contribution points to get the professional knowledge that an ordinary person can learn until the university stage.

Ryan hadn't seen so many books in a long time since he came to the spirit world.

He casually opened a book, and the handwriting on it kept changing. It used the tablet computer template from his previous life. Each book contained a lot of knowledge. When you finished reading, the knowledge would automatically change and turn the pages.

If downloading is required, it can be copied directly into the activated knowledge in your brain.

Of course, the knowledge is in your brain, and you still have to continue digesting it, but it is much easier to digest, and you can look up the information anytime and anywhere.

The second row of bookshelves is a bit more complicated.

Ryan felt a mental tingling before he even got close. There were all kinds of books on it, and the second row of shelves was also very large, far beyond the knowledge of ordinary people. A light mist surrounded it, and it was difficult to see clearly beyond five meters. There were also strange reflections that materialized on each book.

——"Guide to Advancement in the Path of Flesh and Blood".

——"Advanced Force Field Spells".

——"Analysis of Super Magical Abilities".

——"How to Become Your Own Spiritual Doctor".

——"Guide to Self-Correction of Spiritual Pollution".

——"Outline of the Wizard's Path".

——"General Outline of the Spiritual Path".

——"Illustrated Book of Strange Things".

It contains a large amount of mysterious knowledge from before the legend, from specific spell information to related ability expansion, and even how to suppress mental pollution, how to correct oneself when approaching madness, etc. Each of the huge number of books is different, and Ryan was completely dazzled by it.

There was a separate bookshelf in front of him, which was full of knowledge about alchemy. With just a glance, he was sure that it contained the alchemy knowledge that the teacher also coveted.

Because there is even a book called "Infrastructure of the Floating City". I want them all!
If he learned all of them, he would instantly become a learned wizard.

The bookshelf in the third row seemed a bit shabby, because there were not many books in it, most of which were legendary knowledge, and some even involved evil things in the weird kingdom. Ryan couldn't read many of these books, and even a few more glances would make him feel mentally stinging, and a feeling of despair enveloped his inner world.

"You have not yet been promoted to a high-level spellcaster."

“It is not recommended to touch them.”

The administrator's voice sounded calmly: "Some knowledge, if you just know it, will also be contaminated."

The third row of bookshelves recorded the existence of many evil things, as well as some forbidden names. Ryan was too weak, so it was better for him to be ignorant.

"I can only read the first two rows of bookshelves." Ryan quickly realized this.

But he was still curious.

Ryan couldn't help but want to take a look at the bookshelf further back, then he moved his feet and saw a deep purple darkness. A bubble-like illusory reflection was suspended behind the bookshelves, and in the center was a book that was difficult to describe in words. Just one look at it made him despair and want to commit suicide!

Emotional resonance.

Completely passive emotional resonance, at this moment he felt Xiao En's inner despair, but he couldn't bear it. Just one look and the desire to commit suicide began to emerge.

——"Old Picture Book".

With the terrible pressure Xiao En was under and the despair he saw when he knew the truth of the world, just an emotional resonance was enough to make a low-level transcendent lose control and go crazy on the spot.

Blindness and stupidity are a protection for the weak.

"The old days! ..."

Ryan trembled all over and turned his head with difficulty. The first floor had knowledge related to the old days, so where did that dark vortex-like staircase lead to?

Is the above knowledge related to demigods?

At this moment, Ryan was both frightened and excited, because these were knowledge that the teacher would not easily teach him, but in this mysterious library, he could exchange them for other knowledge.

But what should I exchange?

Ryan's mind moved, and he carefully found the administrator who was tidying up the bookshelf, and bowed his head respectfully and said, "Your Excellency the Administrator."

"I have been stuck at the bottleneck of advancement for a long time, and I have never been able to integrate the next stage of extraordinary relics."

"What knowledge should I exchange for?"

The mysterious administrator simply glanced at him and said calmly, "Strengthen your self-awareness and suppress mental pollution."

"The main pollution in the path of spellcasting is mental pollution."

"If you contribute enough, you can also consider exchanging for help other than knowledge."

Is there something else here?

Ryan looked up in astonishment and asked, "Besides knowledge, can I get anything else here?"

"Of course." The administrator said calmly: "If you have enough contribution points, you can buy an insurance policy here."

"If one day in the future you go crazy and lose control."

"A certain Excellency will personally intervene to correct you from your uncontrolled madness."

“But that requires a high level of dedication.”

Ryan stood there in shock, unsure whether what the other person said was true or not, but everything he saw was completely beyond his understanding.

The administrator continued: "With your current strength, there is no need to go through so much trouble."

"If you are just not sure about completing the promotion, the sixth compartment of the second row of bookshelves contains the knowledge you need."

"If you're worried about not having enough willpower."

"You can redeem additional blessings by consuming contribution points in exchange for a one-time mental fortress."

This is equivalent to the big boss personally protecting you and helping you break through the bottleneck.

Exchange is not recommended.

It is more stable to rely on yourself for promotion, but if there is really no other way, it is not impossible to rely on the help of a big boss.

Of course, the premise of all this is that you have enough contribution.

Ryan thought of many things in an instant. He suppressed his excitement and whispered, "Mr. Administrator, how can I upload the knowledge I have mastered?"

The administrator said calmly: "Follow me."

As the fog dissipated, a strange room emerged. There was a huge black metal construct there. It seemed to be a projection of some living creature. Only a row of cold characters were reflected on the display.

——"Let go of your ego and recall the knowledge you want to upload."

——"I will read your thoughts through the mind link and record the uploaded knowledge."

——"If the knowledge uploaded is incomplete, you can only get a portion of the contribution points."

——"You can get the remaining contribution points if you complete it later."

Soul Mage Path.

Ryan began to recall all his knowledge about the path of soul mages. As a flying wire connected to his brain, he instantly sensed an enormous consciousness that was reading his thoughts and memories. He tried his best not to recall things that he should not recall, and maintained a focused state to upload the knowledge.

At present, Xiao En needs to rely on the power of the mind to accomplish all of this. If one day he masters the authority of a demigod, then all of this will be much simpler and more convenient, and he can just package, copy and paste it.

I don’t know how long it took.

Ryan got a strange emblem with patterns of stars and wheat ears reflected on it. After mental contact, a row of numbers appeared on it.

——Contribution: 860 points.

This amount could almost be exchanged for all the knowledge on the first row of bookshelves, but he was not interested in mortal knowledge. He was eager to exchange it for the super-magic ability of spellcasting and how to advance to the next stage more reliably.

Even some areas of knowledge that tend to be taboo.

All this knowledge will be imprinted in his brain, but many abilities still require him to practice and master them himself.

at the same time.

After sending Ryan away from the spiritual library, Sean also found that the mysterious knowledge in his brain had become even larger. Half of the silver knowledge rune was condensing. It was a matrix woven of knowledge, equivalent to a storage device, which contained knowledge about soul spells, contract magic, and contract rituals.

The rules of the field of [knowledge] seem to have loosened, and Sean seems to have opened up another way to spread "knowledge" through this method.

The laws of the world are slowly consolidating.

“The first step of building the knowledge dark web has been completed.”

"This is a law that is different from the old living knowledge, like the Magic Lady's Magic Web and the Night Lady's Shadow Magic Web."

Under the old rules, knowledge was a resource that could be plundered because it was integrated with the transcendent essence.

In the field of knowledge opened up by Xiao En, although knowledge is still a resource, it can be traded.

The prerequisite for all this is that he must personally use the power of the mind to complete the knowledge transmission, and the knowledge that can be traded must be mastered by Xiao En himself, otherwise it cannot be put on the library at all.

Currently, he has only opened the bookshelf for the arcane path, and he will consider opening the bookshelf for the spiritual path later.

The stronger Xiao En's abilities are, the larger this mental library will be.

"It's a pity that the souls from other worlds are all in the hands of the demigods. It would be great if we could contract a soul from another world."

The souls from other worlds all possess extremely unique talents.

They started out as rare character cards, and had extraordinary luck, born with a lot of alien knowledge and natural abilities. With Xiao En's current strength, he is not yet able to compete with the demigods for the cake.

Amon's true name law alone cannot support all of this. Sean himself must be promoted to become a demigod in the field of knowledge!
