Chapter 208: Meaning

"Atheism" is unprecedented in both content and concept, and no other book in the charismatic world has attempted to organize the entire history of the world in such detail. Even if many mages have been reading another similar book recently--- the Book of Divine Grace, it is not at all comparable to Atheism in Lane's opinion. Both in terms of the richness of the content and the depth of historical discussion, "Atheism" is better than "The Book of Divine Charism" in all aspects.

This is understandable, since the Book of Charisms is to be published in a normal world ruled by the Church, and much of it cannot be described, otherwise the book would have died before it was published. Thinking about it this way, Ryan felt more and more that the Book of Divine Grace was also written by this mage under the pseudonym Ruilin.

Because in terms of time, "Atheism" should have been written at the same time as "The Book of Divine Grace", and even "Atheism" was probably written earlier than the "Book of Divine Grace". Because it is so much more than the Book of Divine Grace, it must have taken a lot more time to complete. Unless it's a coincidence, there are two separate books that have similar ideas and many similarities. In contrast, it is more likely that the author of two books is the same person.

After reading through the two books, the old mage Ryan was even more sure of his thoughts. As the leader of a chain book sales organization, Ryan naturally has a high ability to appreciate books. From his point of view, the two books have many similarities, both in terms of writing and narrative devices. The Book of Divine Charism is clearly the product of a compromise between the book "Atheism" and its normal release.

Generally speaking, for a certain book, Ryan always looks at its commercial value first, after all, in addition to being a mage, the old mage is also a businessman. But for Atheism, Ryan thinks differently.

Judging by the sales of the Book of Divine Grace in all stores, Atheism is bound to be widely circulated among mages. Ryan had never seen a book that didn't deal with the use of magic in the slightest, and the Charismatic Book was such a bestseller. The average mage attaches great importance to the practical value of a book, which is measured by the amount and importance of the knowledge of the application of magic contained in the book. By that standard, the Book of Divine Charity is worthless, but that hasn't affected its sales in the slightest.

A book can be like the Book of Divine Grace, allowing a mage to buy it regardless of his own values, which can also be described as a kind of legend. There is no doubt that "Atheism", a book that surpasses "The Book of Divine Grace" in all aspects and has high practical value, sells well in the underground world.

So the old mage Ryan was thinking more about what this Ray Rim mage, or should I say what Shri wanted to do?

With the Book of Divine Grace as a foreshadowing, the impact of "Atheism" on the world of divine grace must be far-reaching and long-lasting. The elementary magical theory knowledge annotated at the back of the book, Ryan secretly asked someone to verify it. As long as you have a little talent for magic, you can experience the charm of magic through this part of the study. In this way, the underground magical world will definitely add a large number of members. This part of the knowledge had more than that, and the old mage even found it helpful to himself.

When Ryan corresponded what he had learned with those basic theories and analyzed them, many of the problems that had been bothering him were solved. The old mage felt that this part of the theory of magic was certainly not as helpful to beginners as it seemed on the surface, and it was likely that it would be more helpful to those who were strong in the top mages than for beginners.

This book will not be circulated almost exclusively in the underground world like other magic books, and with the "Book of Divine Grace" in front of it, there must be many people who have not been exposed to the wizarding world before who will also be interested in "Atheism" and thus further contact with the underground wizarding world.

The future is unpredictable, and the old mage Ryan really can't figure out what this mysterious and amazing "Ruilin" mage wants to do with the Book of Divine Grace and Atheism.

In fact, smart people are often misled by smart thinking because they think too much. The purpose of writing Atheism is actually very obvious, as can be seen by looking at the title directly. What "Atheism" wants to do in the end is naturally godless.

Atheism wants to change the minds of all people in the charismatic world. After years of massive propaganda from generation to generation in the Church, the gods have been put out of reach by everyone in the charismatic world.

Divine grace is like the sea, and divine power is like this. The intelligent race in the charismatic realm naturally puts the gods in the dominant position. Except for the gods, everyone else is just servants of the gods and lambs who provide faith to the gods. Some people may oppose a certain god and his church because of their different beliefs, but the mainstream world no longer wants to oppose the overall framework and system of the god and the church.

Even the mages of the underground magic world are mostly thinking about self-preservation, thinking about surviving. Over the years, under the influence of the church and ordinary people, the mages have also come to regard the gods as beings far above themselves, and they do not realize that the gods are not that great.

Ciri did not live through the Nether period, but he collected a lot of information about the Nether period. Those Grand Arcanists certainly wouldn't have treated the gods the way these mages do today, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many Grand Arcanists planning the God Butcher during the Nether era. This can also be seen from the small amount of material collected by Ciri from the Arcanist of the Nether period, where the Arcanist's tone of voice when referring to the gods is no different from that of other powerful enemies. Some arcanists also realize that gods are easily tainted by the collective will of their followers, and compare them to high-level magical beasts with great strength but mediocre intelligence.

The ultimate goal of Atheism is to reverse the ideas that the church has long instilled in people and in itself. He doesn't know exactly how far Atheism can go, but he believes that "truth" is often more deeply rooted than "lies", and that "awakening" may be harder than "deception", but it must be quicker and more penetrating. Once awakened, the same method is difficult to confuse those who are awakened.

Regardless of the impact of Atheism, it is now time for Ciri to "disappear". He had already arranged all the matters related to "Atheism" to the old mage Ryan, and solemnly signed a magic contract with the other party.

After tidying up the library of the center where she lives, Ciri announced that she would travel far away to increase her experience and knowledge. He entrusted all the affairs of the central library to Ahbourne, and when he announced the retreat, all the affairs were managed by Ahbourne. After being guided by Ciri, Ashiburn has been doing well.

Traveling scholars don't tend to stay in one place for the rest of their lives, and people are not surprised by Ciri's decision. Many dioceses are inviting Ciri to study in their diocees, and with his current prestige, any diocese he goes to will add many believers to the Church and increase the firmness of many faithful at the same time.

In the end, Ciri didn't agree to any of the churches, and his goal this time was only --- the wizarding world.
