Chapter 62, Sevenfold History, The Road to the Gods
Regardless of the Anti-Suppression Bureau, the slightly unusual sunset ceremony of the "Historical Research Society" will naturally not cause trouble again, and the world will be peaceful.
And Pan Long finally waited for Natalia to come home from work.
For this, he waited four days.
For most of the four days, he spent most of the day in the Bureau, but instead of staying in the telegraph hall, he sat in the reading room.
The Bureau of Suppression has a library with many books related to the invisible arts. He stumbled upon this place while wandering around the Bureau. So I was happy to stay here for a long time, browsing all kinds of hidden materials at will.
Among these books, he was most concerned not with books about spells or rituals, but about history and social knowledge.
The spell of the invisible art, to put it bluntly, is not worth mentioning, either it is to ask Si Chen and borrow power from them, or it is to hold a ritual - it is still borrowing power from Si Chen.
The spells that are really cast by one's own strength only account for a fraction of the total number of spells, and it can even be said that there are only a handful.
...... After all, there is the power of the great Si Chen that can be borrowed, and the neuropathy can only delve into the power of weak mortals!
This is like the world of Pan Long's previous life, when people stepped into the sea of stars, they did not give birth to the "super martial arts" that combined technology and fighting, but on the contrary, there was a special kind of remote-controlled robot fighting competition, and it was very popular in society.
At the end of each year, all regions of the Federation (including several universe regions) will unite to hold a large-scale remote-controlled robot fighting competition, and the various wonderful scenes in the competition will make people dizzy to watch. The players who operate these remote-controlled robots are also sports stars who are respected by the whole society.
And ordinary people's fighting competitions are also going on.
Albeit...... These flesh-and-blood fighters, perhaps dozens or hundreds of people united, are not enough for those remote-controlled fighting robots......
This has led to a polarization, with a contest between tech-made horror weapons on the one hand, and weak mortal bodies on the other, both of which have a market and are welcome.
On the contrary, those "humanoid mechas" or "super martial arts" that have been often mentioned in science fiction and combine mortal power and technology have not never appeared, but they are just short-lived, and they disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Things that can conform to human aesthetics are either powerful or simple, and there is no market for half-baked things.
In Pan Long's view, this world is probably because the level of productivity is still relatively backward, and people's pursuit of power is still at the level of "strong is good", so it is destined to be unable to be as powerful as Si Chen's power "mortal spells", and it has become an extreme minority in spells, except for some stubborn guys, almost no one cares.
Pan Long wasn't much interested in that either.
While these spells may be useful to him, he has more than enough.
The teacher said that before a person is immortal, he can master a lot of skills, but there is no need to delve into a lot of skills.
It doesn't take time to master, maybe it's just "dangdangdang", and it will be. But it definitely takes time to delve into it.
For example, in the invisible technique, Pan Long already knew what kind of game this world was, so he unlocked the corresponding character template of this game and integrated it into his own character ability.
However, in this game, there is never an introduction to "what spells did you learn?"
It has only various ceremonies
Although in the middle of the adventure, there are often passages of "please Si Chen, with his power", there is actually no mention of any spells.
In other words, among the abilities provided by the role template, only those who borrowed from Si Chen did not rely on themselves.
If you want to cast spells on your own, you have to do a lot of research.
Pan Long doesn't have that much time to delve into this!
If you have time, the most important thing is to study how to strike a balance between "doing what you want" and "governing the world", and even whether you should go out on your own path!
The teacher has a saying that is very right, immortality is the real starting point of the road to the strong. Only by being able to cultivate and be at ease can we be qualified to pursue all kinds of hobbies, strive for perfection in all kinds of skills, and pursue a level beyond mortals.
Until then, it's not worth spending too much time and energy on those skills that aren't core enough.
After thinking this clearly, he lost interest in the magic that studied the power of mortals, and began to read the documents that recorded the world and even the history.
Soon, he sketched a context about the history in his mind.
All histories have the same origin, but in the process of development, whether the original and strongest god of radiance, "Blazing Sun", fell, became the first disagreement in history.
The sun has never fallen, it is the original history, and this heavy history is regarded as a taboo by the Sichen in other histories, and no one is allowed to touch it, so that it has become a "lost history".
The sun fell, split into the four Sichen known as the "Four Sons of the Sun", and the monsters derived from the wreckage were a common source for the rest of history.
In this source, the wreckage of the sun spawned two types of monsters, "flying birds" and "worms". The birds are more at ease, while the worms are more gloomy.
The worm and Si Chen have fought many wars, and in a certain history, the worm defeated Si Chen - that is obviously not the history he is in now.
But that history is very similar to the world in his previous life.
The supernatural power gradually disappeared, the power of science and technology ruled the world, and finally mankind went to the sea of stars, leaving the remains of Sichen far behind, only historians would occasionally look back and smile with pity.
Another history is the so-called "right-of-way war", which was fought by the "children of controlled fire" (symbolizing Britain and the Industrial Revolution) who served the "Furnace of the Day" (another god of glow, who can be regarded as the only god of glow at present), and the "Sisterhood of Knots" who served the "Red Cup", "Cypress", and "Two-Horned Axe", and the "Church of the Sun" who served the "Four Sons of the Sun".
In addition, the "Wandering Traveler" in Si Chen, as well as the "Immortal Legion" with uncertain content, all participated in this battle.
The outcome of this great war is an important point of divergence in history.
Pan Long's current history is that of the victory of the British, and the "forged furnace" became the undisputed elder and leader among the gods, and he spared the Sichen who tried to challenge him, only depriving them of a part of their power—and he became stronger.
Correspondingly, the sun never sets on the British Empire, whose power on a global scale has reached an unprecedented glorious apex in human history.
Another history corresponding to this, of course, is that Britain and the Foundry lost the war for the right of way, and all parties in the world were in turmoil and fell into a long struggle for hegemony.
In the history of Britain winning the right-of-way war, there are two more differences, namely the history of compromise between man and Si Chen, and the history of man obeying Si Chen.
The former does not match the historical record in the library, and it is clear that the latter is the history in which he is now.
The timeline of his history is almost finished. The rest of the historical timeline has little to do with the UK, and the key points of divergence are elsewhere.
In such a history, a certain Si Chen, whose name was blackened, went through a ritual to bring the sun back to life. The price is naturally the fall or merger of the four sons of Jiaoyang, and at the same time, there are seven other Sichen who have fallen because of this.
Eleven Sichen fell at once, which can really be called earth-shattering. In this process, there are naturally other Sichen births.
That history is rarely mentioned, and it has also become taboo, just like the history of the sun not falling, it has become a "lost history".
It's funny, but all the history of Jiaoyang's life has become a "lost history" - whether he never fell, or whether he fell and was resurrected, in short, for Si Chen, as long as it is the world where Jiaoyang is alive, it is forbidden to snoop, let alone research and exchange!
The worm defeated Si Chen's history.
Two endings of the right-of-way war.
This is the triple history that can be determined at the moment.
In addition, there are two histories that cannot be determined, one is that in the history, the bird is particularly active, not only defeating the worm, but also suppressing Si Chen.
There was very little communication between that history and this history, and the historians studied that history, but they didn't achieve much—the practitioners of the invisible art of that history didn't seem to want to communicate with them.
In one notebook, a scholar whose name was blacked out said: "They regard us as unclean beings living in symbiosis with worms, and therefore come into contact with us and others." ”
From this point of view, perhaps that history will also be interesting.
The last piece of history is related to the Battle of Sichen, known as the "Bloodstone War". In most history, the blood-based gods who started with sacrifice defeated the natural Shiyuan gods, but in that history, it was the other way around, the Shiyuan gods defeated the blood-source gods, and since then, "sacrifice" is regarded as an invisible art, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to study and use it.
In that history, if you want to become Si Chen, you can only do it through down-to-earth practice. The concept of "Bloodborne Gods" has died out, and "Flesh Gods" (mortal ascendants) have become the mainstream of the gods.
There is a lot of exchange between that history and other histories, and many scholars who have offended the Blood Source God have gone to that history—and scholars who have offended the Stone Source God will run to this history, and everyone takes what they need.
The fivefold knowable history, the twofold lost history, and these sevenfold histories are the conclusions of the people of this world on the "multiple histories".
But Pan Long knows that this world is definitely not only about these seven histories!
Because among the illusions he can see, there are contents that are not in line with the sevenfold history.
Those histories should have not been studied by the people of this world, or they are ...... Some people have studied it, but their results have not been made public, and they have disappeared into the dust of history.
Pan Long was also not interested in researching and publishing the history.
He came to this world for a vacation and relaxation, not to do academics.
Even if you want to do knowledge, wouldn't it be more interesting to do some "invisible art of the East"?
See how the spell ideas of the two worlds collide, what kind of cremation is produced, and how much inspiration can be gained from it, how amazing it is!
Pan Long just did four days of study in the reading room of the Anti-Suppression Bureau, and learned a stomach full of useless knowledge.
It's funny...... That's what he says about this knowledge in general.
Yes, it's fun, but it's just fun.
He won't stay in this world for long, and maybe he won't even come back after leaving this time. So the history of this world, whether it is the power system, is "interesting" to him at best.
If he can become Si Chen in this world and become an immortal god, that would be good.
It's a pity that in this heavy history, if a mortal wants to become Si Chen, there are probably only three ways.
The first is to fight worms or birds, seize the power left by the sun, and become another god of radiance.
Second, go to participate in the ceremony that resurrects the sun, and in the ceremony, many Sichen will fall, and he will take advantage of the situation, and there is a high probability that he will become a blood source god.
The third is to make an agreement with some hidden Sichens to go around the world of death and nothingness, find new power there, and then those Sichens will resurrect themselves from death and become the new Sichen.
Of these three paths, in Pan Long's view, only the first one is more realistic.
Whether it is the second or the third, they need to develop a solid and reliable alliance with many Sichen. He has lived in this world for a short time, where did he come from the United States to deal with them slowly and improve friendship?
The first path seems easy, but it's hard to find worms or birds, let alone defeat them!
...... No, it's probably relatively easy for him to "beat them".
After all, he could choose to go to another world to level up, and then come back to fight after training himself to be strong enough.
