After treating five soldiers who had broken bones in the confrontation training, Renard went straight into the basement under the tent under the pretext of cultivation, and he set up a guard circle nearby before entering. This basement was dug by him for O'Neill on the grounds that he wanted to cultivate, and there was too much movement in the training in the army.
Because Renard was the only healer in the squadron, O'Neill readily agreed to this request, and asked a dozen soldiers to dig and repair the basement in just one day. Because the weather here is dry, it saves the cost of the waterproofing system.
In addition to arranging the basement in the past few days, because his money was almost spent, Renard also went to be a thief, in fact, he used the teleportation ability of the Shadow Magic and the Book of Death to cheat, and secretly emptied the vault of a squad leader of the city guard in the imperial capital. Not to mention the squad leader's thunderous outburst and cluelessness during the pursuit, Renard looked at a large amount of gold coins equivalent to more than ten times the total wealth he had earned in his previous mercenary career, and Renard felt that he had a new understanding of the world.
Another piece of news that is not big or small is that there is a small gang near the house that Renard bought in the corner of the imperial capital that somehow offended the nobles and was cleared by the city guards. A very fierce clash broke out between the two sides during the night, and it was only after the city guards called in the official mage to kill the scene before they cleaned up the scene. The only effect of this incident on Renard was that after stealing the corpses of a dozen gang members, he used zombies to dig a basement under his residence in the imperial capital, and cut down trees to build a hut in the woods near Shabak City.
After Renard entered the camp tent, he teleported directly to the hut near Shabak City, where he spent three days arranging various concealed magic circles and magic circles to expel wild beasts and idlers, in order to have a real cultivation place that could not be affected. The reason why he teleported here was because the Book of Death had finally developed a spell that could make better use of the corpse in the words of the Book of Death. He hadn't even absorbed the soul of this cultivator's corpse before, just to wait for this day.
"Can't you really tell me about the effect of this spell first? Renard mentally told the Book of Death that he was ready to use the spell at this point: to transform into a dark angel form. According to the Book of Death, this form can only be truly undisturbed by using this spell, which is better than the original sin demon god incarnation.
At this time, Renard's eyes became pitch black, the whites of his eyes had completely disappeared, and the shadow lines on the surface of his body continued to flicker with black light, and these lines were extended a little on his hands, making Renard's hands look like a pair of sharp claws, Renard's forehead and both cheeks have the same shadow lines as tattoos, the most conspicuous thing is the illusory black light wings behind Renard, which is more pure at this moment than when Renard first became an official mage, and it seems to have a little lighting function, shining everything around him with a slight black lightγ
Renard himself has completely lost his sense of all non-shadow magic elements, including the light element, but his sense of the shadow element is extremely clear, and even gives him the illusion that all around him is filled with shadow elements.
The Book of Death replied indifferently: "It's not good to say, it's better not to say it, anyway, this spell is not dangerous, just use it directly." β
Renard closed his eyes and recalled the dreams he had experienced in the past few days. The new research result of the Book of Death is a three-dimensional spell array, and it is more complex than ever, and it took three days of dream preaching before Renard basically mastered it. Renard's dreams in the past few days are basically in the cosmic starry sky, he has become a small luminous celestial body, surrounded by countless celestial bodies of all sizes moving irregularly, he carefully avoided all the large celestial bodies, and used this spell to devour various small celestial bodies to make himself bigger, but he did not become the largest celestial body in the universe in his dreams in the past three days, and was finally swallowed by other larger stars.
He asked the Book of Death in his heart: "The Star Devouring Dream Realm you have given me these days always makes me feel a little uneasy, according to the principle of celestial bodies, this cultivator who has opened the Nine Apertures should be a much larger celestial body than me, if I rush over, won't it only be devoured?"
The Book of Death replied a little impatiently: "I'm giving you the Dream of the Star Devourer so that you can understand what the situation is basically, and not everything has to be set according to that game. Moreover, even if this thing is a celestial body, that is, a corpse that is inactive, cannot be devoured, can only be swallowed, what is there to be afraid of?"
Renard released the corpse of the cultivator, and the corpse of the cultivator did not decay at all under the protection of the spatial ring, and remained the same as when he first died. The cultivator's expression was still a mixture of indifference and fortitude when he tried to kill Renard at the last moment of his life. Renard looked at his face for a few seconds and sighed, "I suddenly feel like eating human corpses when you say that." β
The Book of Death mocked: "You are a person who plays black magic, do you care about this? There is no such convenient magic element casting in the main world, their magic is controlled by a god named Mystra, Mystra has made a magic net himself, and the mage has to use his own spirit to trade with Mistra's magic net if he wants to cast spells, even so, some spells that consume a little more than spells of the same level, the magic net will not be able to support the consumption, and the mage himself has to make up for it with spell casting materials." For example, every time you use arachnography, you have to swallow the corpse of a spider alive. A guy like you in the main plane will never be promoted to a ring mage, and he will be eliminated when he is an apprentice. β
Renard frowned: "I have heard their stories on Earth, they are exactly the same, how can the earthlings know their affairs so clearly?"
The Book of Death seemed to be in a bad mood today, and there was no thorn in his speech: "You are really stupid enough to ask this question for so long." You haven't thought about it before, why are the humans on the earth humanoid, the demons are also humanoid, the humans in this world are also humanoid, and even the cultivators are also humanoid?"
Renard recalled the biology he had learned in his previous life: "Because the erect body shape helps the development of the brain, it ......"
The Book of Death interrupted Renard's words, "Why is this happening? Why is there a world rule that is upright for brain development?"
Renard remembered Sir Newton's principle of gravitation and its formula, but knew that he would still be asked why by the Book of Death if he said it, so he skipped the interrogation process and answered honestly: "I don't know either." β
The Book of Death snorted with a little contempt, Renard had long experienced the bad character of the Book of Death, and his human nature in two lives didn't care about this, and quietly listened to the Book of Death and continued: "There is no completely sealed container in the universe. Well, the words on earth seem to say that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and they all mean the same thing anyway. When the world's deepest scientific knowledge is now discovered, the original source is a very powerful universe that does not know why it appeared. At the beginning of that universe, several of the most powerful primordial lifeforms were born, which were directly condensed from the creation of matter, and they instinctively chose their current humanoid form, and then they created countless planets and civilizations in their own universe. β
"Before they were able to create a boundary gate across the universe and a sovereign hub that controlled the background parameters of the universe, there were countless particles, with the information they had disturbed, broke through the barrier and came to the void without any universe, and after they absorbed enough energy in the process of traveling in the void, they would become the original particle of the universe themselves, and then the Big Bang occurred, and a new universe was born. β
"The new universe born in this way will carry the information disturbance in the original universe, and most of them will eventually develop into cosmic rules suitable for humanoid creatures to generate intelligence, and basically a civilization will be born. Although some universes have changed, there are few counterexamples. The states of civilization vary greatly, and the forms of power come in many forms, but in the end, they are all controlled by the human brain. β
After listening to the narration of the Book of Death, Renard fell into a nameless shock. Once again, he thought seriously about the possible identity of the Book of Death, though he still had no clue as always. He casually asked, "Are the first few lifeforms gods?"
The Book of Death sneered: "They, gods, gods are nothing compared to them, and even if they want to, they can make the concept of gods disappear in countless universes at once." But that would throw a lot of worlds into chaos, so they didn't want that. β
Reynard asked, "I'm a little curious about what you said, what are they called, what are they like now?"
The Book of Death snorted, "I can tell you, but are you sure you want to know?"
Renard asked, "Do you know what bad things will happen?"
The Book of Death says, "It's hard to say. Their name has not yet spread in this universe, and if I tell you, you are the first being to know their name. The moment you know it, you're tainted with cause and effect from them. They won't go out of their way to embarrass you, maybe they'll throw you something that they think is funny and doesn't matter, but what about God...... It may also be a great blessing, but it will certainly not be a small matter. β
Renard: "For example?"
A 3D projection in front of him was slowly taking shape, and the construction of this projection seemed to be a bit laborious for the Book of Death, and the Book of Death explained as it was constructed: "This is what happened after the Hiling Censor learned the name of one of them. A familiar figure slowly appeared in the projection, it was the brick man that Renard had fought once in his dream before, and then Renard was killed by him in an instant.
The brick-man wore the same shield that Renard had seen, and several vague figures appeared around him, looking like women, one of whom appeared to have a snake's tail. In front of him, a giant demon five or six meters high, which seemed to be made of rocks and was covered in magma, seemed to have used a large spell, and with the completion of the spell, a huge asteroid fell from the sky and fell to a place. Renard looked closely at the place, he had thought it was a mountain and a forest, but now he realized that it was a creature full of tentacles much larger than a mountain.
The Book of Death pulled up the visual projection of Renard, and under the aerial projection, the creature looked much larger than it had just looked, and its size was conservatively estimated to be the size of three or four cities. The powerful asteroid began to slow down in the sky above it, and different magic arrays appeared on tens of thousands of tentacles, Renard couldn't count how many layers of magic shields were generated instantly, and after the asteroid penetrated several shields, it finally stopped weakly, and then the magic array on tens of thousands of tentacles changed, and then a wave of magic energy appeared under the asteroid, pushing the asteroid into space.
Renard was silent, if this thing appeared on the ground in this world, it was estimated that it would be useless for the mages and cultivators of the entire world to go together. After the shock, Renard asked the Book of Death, "Why did you teach me this?"
He's not stupid, and the Book of Death never teaches him anything for nothing. Even if it seems useless at the time, it doesn't take long for it to work. And Renard couldn't imagine what it would be like when he used this knowledge.
The Book of Death was not as silent or concerned about him as before, and it was clear this time: "I can sense that what you will do in the future will definitely not be limited to this world. You're definitely going to do a lot of things in a lot of worlds. Provided, of course, that you don't die. β
Maybe it was a little bit of sharing the Book of Death, Renard had the illusion that the trajectories of fate he had seen in meditation under Sally's wand had reappeared, this time he had seen very far away, but at the same time he couldn't see the details of those trajectories at all. His trajectory branched out into many paths, all but those that led to death in various ways, all of which led to the infinite starry sky, and then separated again in different worlds. And every road is full of endless hardships. And the previous loss of Natasha's experience, compared to the death crisis in the army, is just a small thing that cannot be smaller.
"You...... Why the hell did you have to bring me here, to go through this? Does it have to be me?" Renard asked the Book of Death. The Book of Death seemed to know what Renard saw: "You feel bad about this? You feel like you're going to have to pay too much? Haha! Look at your stupid questions, do I need to answer them? Even if I don't answer, what can you do?"
Renard sat on the ground weakly, he couldn't do anything, and he didn't even know if he would leave the army alive without the teleportation power of the Reaper's Book of Death. He couldn't have become a mage without the help of the soul spell before, and now he probably practiced sewing day after day in his father's tailor's shop. Natasha, Sally, and Jassam are all people who have nothing to do with them, and they will never have the ability to kill Leighton Green and Schalke.
"Lu Tianhao. The Book of Death called Renard's name on Earth, "Do you know why this is happening?"
Lu Tianhao did not speak. The power of the Book of Death appeared, and the previous trajectory of fate clearly appeared in Renard's eyes, and the current voice of the Book of Death reminded Lu Tianhao of the big boss he had seen in movies and games before: "Now look at your trajectory on Earth without me!"
Lu Tianhao looked at himself and avoided the moment when he received the Book of Death Express, and then, after living a dull life, he found a job that was not good or bad, and finally decided to go down with him after experiencing several times of love and love, looking for a bank loan to buy a house and a car, and later had a child, and then began to work hard for the child's affairs, he soon lost the spirit of a young man and began to become old, and then, his parents died, and he became the pillar of the family, desperately supporting the family.
Although he has experienced several promotions, he is not outstanding and has no strong background, at most he only stayed in the position of middle managers of the enterprise, and then the child also went to a general school, and let the child continue to walk into a position similar to his own good or bad, and then retired, and his old age was constantly quarreled over family trivialities, and finally died of pain.
This is the branch with the greatest probability, although there are other branches leading to the Soaring Yellow Tengda, but there are very few, and more branches are the sudden death of oneself, degenerate, imprisoned, and the wife is separated. And even if it leads to the branch of soaring, in the end, it can only face time, aging, life, and the powerlessness and sigh of the world.
The illusion dissipated, and the Book of Death asked Lu Tianhao softly, "Do you like these futures?"
Lu Tianhao was silent for a while, and finally sorted out his thoughts: "I don't like it." β
The Grim Reaper's voice was still soft: "Then take advantage of you now, Renard Carmel." Now you at least have the opportunity to control your own destiny, even if you need to pay a lot, at least you don't have to be a pawn that can be abandoned at any time for the rest of your life. β
Renard didn't say a word, he stared at the corpse of the cultivator, and his mind slowly crossed the spell array diagram studied by the Book of Death. Then, the cultivator opened his eyes, and his dilated pupils began to recondense as they met Reynard's gaze. Renard didn't panic, because he could feel that there was no life in the cultivator's body, only the shadow power that he could sense.
The cultivator's spiritual body was scattered by the shadow power and fused with the physical body, this process seemed to improve the cultivator's cultivation, and a force began to gather in his body, and the momentum of the cultivator's corpse rose step by step, and then broke through a vertex. Renard recognized that this was a symbol of the cultivator's breakthrough to the exterior scene, but the recorded vision of the exterior scene did not appear, presumably because the cultivator had completely died, and he only physically broke through to the exterior scene, nothing more.
Even if the physical breakthrough reaches the location, the time is very short. His flesh was destroyed from the inside out by the shadow power, and his entire body was like a black hole, and his flesh and blood began to collapse inward, and finally became a mass of chaos, and then this chaos was stretched and slowly injected into Renard's body.
Renard felt that his body and spirit were constantly getting stronger under the injection of chaos, and when the chaos was completely injected, the pass of the second-level mage who had hindered Renard for a long time finally ceased to exist, and Renard's thinking hall finally became a lot bigger. But as it grows larger, a gossip pattern appears between the Grim Reaper's Book illusion and the two lampreys for some reason.
Renard stood up slowly, it was late at night, and Renard teleported directly back to the basement of the camp, at this time the people of the Sharp Knife Force had been asleep for a long time. Reynard felt the power in his muscles and threw a punch that hit the ground and created a small pit. The Book of Death scanned it slightly: "Formal knights, less than big knights, those who change cultivators are between three and four tricks." Your previous body foundation is still too weak, otherwise the effect of the ascension can be much stronger. β
Renard replied angrily, "I don't have time to exercise every day!"
The Book of Death doesn't know if it misunderstood Renard's words or deliberately said this: "Don't worry, as long as your magic cultivation is not lost, you don't need to exercise to improve your body today, and it will definitely always be on you!"
