Chapter 94: The Book of the Dead
At this time, Futani and the others also came to the top of the building, and Futani first asked, "Chi Lin, you didn't recognize the master of that book, did you?"
Chi Lin pointed to the book in his hand and said, "Of course not, such a strange book, how can I easily recognize the master?"
"That's fine. Futani breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Otherwise, I don't know what fate this will bring you." β
Chi Lin asked in surprise: "Is there anything unusual about this book? Do you know this book?"
Futani nodded and said, "If my memory is correct, the name of this book should be "The Book of the Dead"!"
"The Book of the Dead?" Suddenly, not only Chi Lin, but even Lin and the others all showed their doubts and interests, and the strange beasts in the sky couldn't help but panic when they heard what Futani said.
Futani smiled: "The Book of the Dead actually refers not only to this book, but to a type of book, to put it bluntly, the Book of the Dead is actually a manifestation of the death of the gods!"
The death of the gods? This mere magic book involves the death of the gods? Why is that?
"Although the gods have an endless lifespan, there will also be fights between the gods, so the gods often fall, and because the gods die in different ways, there are already various forms of death of the gods, and this "Book of the Dead" is a manifestation of the gods dying under extreme resentment!"
"What? Could it be that the fall of this god could manifest itself in a different form?" everyone was amazed.
Futani nodded: "Yes, the death of the gods is somewhat related to the laws of the universe, and it is normal for death to have a little vision." And this "Book of the Dead" is that before dying under the great resentment of the gods, the great resentment led the contract laws in the universe, and under the traction of the laws, they used their divine bodies to condense into such a "Book of the Dead", and then used their souls to write the words on this book, and finally formed this "Book of the Dead" that symbolizes the death of the gods!"
Peng Nuo shuddered: "How can I listen to this book as if it is very scary." β
"No, this is not terrible, but the price that the gods have to pay if they want to form such a "Book of the Dead", and once the "Book of the Dead" is formed, then it means that the gods will fall forever, there is no reincarnation, and there is no possibility of resurrection!" Futani said directly: "This "Book of the Dead" is the last hope of revenge for this god!"
Futani also said a little helplessly: "Actually, this "Book of the Dead" should be regarded as an encyclopedia of the cultivation of a god in his life, because it is written by the soul of the god, and under the law of contract, it cannot be faked. β
"Wow, doesn't that mean that a Book of the Dead is a god-level cultivation encyclopedia that will never go wrong?"
"If it were that simple, then Chi Lin would have confessed to his lord a long time ago. Futani shook her head and said: "If you want to see the content of this book, there are only two ways! The first is to have much stronger strength than the fallen gods, and forcibly open and read, but the gods of that strength generally have enough background to teach their juniors, so forcibly opening the Book of the Dead is dispensable, and if you open too much indiscriminately, it is a provocation to the law of contract, and generally the gods disdain to do so." β
At this time, Chi Lin asked, "The second way is to recognize the Lord, right?"
Futani nodded: "Yes, as long as you make a contract, then you can read what this god has learned in his life, and this text is written with the spirit of the god, with the help of the contract, don't worry about not being able to understand it." β
"Then it must have a limit, right? The specific content of this contract is the main reason why you prevent me from confessing the Lord, right?" Chi Lin asked.
Futani nodded: "That's right, because the contract conditions of this "Book of the Dead" are always the same, that is, to avenge this god! You have to kill the murderer who killed it in order to truly reach the contract, and the deadline is as long as this fallen god has been flexible, that is, as long as the deadline is, if this period passes, then it will be wiped out because of violating the law of the contract!"
Chi Lin was suddenly afraid in his heart: "It's okay, you want me to find a god to help you avenge you for no reason?
Futani smiled: " That's because it's a god after all, and you can take advantage of the loopholes of the law, leaving a little remnant soul to do the selection of the new owner of the book and the guidance when recognizing the master, of course, this is a bit of a suspicion of tricks, so naturally, the person who recognizes the Lord can also take advantage of this, so as to reflect the fairness of the contract, that is, the contractor can be fine even if he does not help the gods to take revenge after the time limit, but if he unfortunately meets the target who needs revenge, no matter what the occasion, he will also force the need to shoot, and he will not die, as a punishmentγ β
Chi Lin said with a smile: "So that's the case, it turns out that you are just a guy with a guiding role, no wonder you can't hurt anyone, it turns out that you are really affected by the law of contract." β
"Of course, because it is dead after all, and the whole has turned into this "Book of the Dead", and if someone wants to sign a contract to avenge themselves, naturally the people who sign the contract with them are people who are not strong or want to become gods and want to be useless to fight to the death, if there is the coercion of the gods, even if it is a god corpse, it is not something that ordinary people can approach, so who else can recognize the Lord? It is the only way of death of the gods that is bound by the law and cannot have much influence on ordinary people. Futani also said.
"Ah, is it possible that there are still people who are willing to sign a contract for such a book?" asked Chi Lin in surprise.
Futani said as a matter of course: "That's of course, and many people can't ask for it, to know the knowledge of gods, how many people who want to break through but can't get it? Even if you have to take on the mission of revenge, it will be at least a very long time, right? And once the object of revenge has fallen by itself, then you can even pay the price of a drop of blood to obtain the knowledge of a god's life, how lucky is that?"
Chi Lin nodded as if he didn't understand: "Then an advent envoy like us doesn't have to worry about the problem of breakthrough at all, and it doesn't match the attributes of this book, so it's not suitable to recognize the master, but it's a big trouble, right?"
"So to speak," said Futani, "you show me the name of the second page, and that's the name of the deity, and I'll see if I know the name of the deity, and if it's the name of a deity that has died, then we'll be developed, so you can recognize the Lord without any worries!"
At this time, hearing Futani's words, the strange beast in the sky was a little excited and even hideous, and said: "You can help me think about whether that bastard is dead or not!......!"
A series of lengthy names took hundreds of words to read, thinking about how much hatred it would take to be able to pronounce these hundreds of random names so smoothly after hundreds of millions of years.
"It is the god of the Divine Beast Night Dread Clan, you may not have heard of the Night Dread Clan, the Night Dread Clan is a marginal branch of the Dragon Clan, the Divine Beast Race, and it is the lower Divine Beast ......"
Just as the beast was chattering, Futani said to Chi Lin: "Chi Lin, let's get it away, it's very annoying to quarrel!"
Chi Lin responded, and then flew towards the phantom in the sky.
"Hey, hey, what do you want to do? You know that I am an illusion formed by the divine soul of the gods, you can't beat me, we have an absolute difference in strength!" Seeing Chi Lin flying towards him, the strange beast suddenly said.
Chi Lin was not flustered at all: "Yes, the soul of the gods, but it is the soul of the gods who do not pose the slightest threat, will I be afraid of you?"
......Suddenly, a scorching hot aura spread out, instantly destroying the entire phantom and making the entire phantom disappear in an instant.
"What's wrong with the phantom of the divine soul? Isn't it suddenly overwhelmed?" Chi Lin said disdainfully, but he said so, but Chi Lin knew that doing this by himself actually had no effect on the divine soul at all, at most, it only took a little time to be a phantom again, but just such a little time was enough, Chi Lin directly closed the book, "Hmph, close the book, see how you still come out." β
Suddenly, the entire "Book of the Dead" kept roaring, and kept asking Chi Lin to let him out, but Chi Lin just didn't care.
"Turn the second page, if you don't turn the third page, it won't come out, if it wants to come out, you have to go through the contract magic array on the third page. Futani said reassuringly.
Chi Lin opened the second page according to his words, and after reading the name of the second page, Futani nodded and said, "Receive it into the space ring, although this is a divine object, but it can be included in the general space ring." "Generally, items that are too high-level, due to their own high energy, the general space ring can't carry too much energy, just like the space ring on Chi Lin's current body, if they go to install the artifact, it will definitely explode in an instant, just because the level is too low, but this "Book of the Dead" is not inferior to the artifact in terms of level or energy, but it is not among them, it seems that what contract law is at work.
After Chi Lin put the Book of Death into the space ring, Futani said: "The enemy he said is not wrong, it is indeed the name of the patriarch of the Night Terror Clan, and the Night Terror Clan was also exterminated tens of millions of years ago, and the patriarch of the Night Terror Clan was already wiped out in public at that time! β
"Really, then why did you want me to put this book away just now? Can you just tell it to be different?" Chi Lin asked curiously, since Futani asked herself to do so, there must be a reason.
"Because if it knows that its enemy is dead, then it may even self-destruct, because although this "Book of the Dead" is a divine object, but after all, it is composed of its body and divine soul, and it is essentially controlled by itself, so if its divine soul wants to self-destruct, it is just a matter of thought, and this is just its unilateral breaking of the contract, there is no second party, and the law of contract will not care about this matter. Unless it is to recognize the Lord, after recognizing the Lord, under the influence of the contract, it will be instantly erased by the law of the contract with a trace of remnant soul. Futani explained.
"Well, in fact, if you think about it carefully, this dark "Book of the Dead" is actually not suitable for us, right? And if the "Book of the Dead" formed after the death of a demonic beast, it is even more unsuitable for us, I think, I don't know if the plane store recycles this kind of book, and I don't want such a thing, or Futanni, you take it and confess it. Chi Lin said directly.
Futani also shook her head: "I don't want it either, I don't know this monster, it's obviously a common monster in a certain plane that becomes a god, and it's not a mythical beast, it's probably unexpected, its book of the death of the gods obviously doesn't have much research value, and the general monster gods don't pay much attention to the accumulation of knowledge." β
"So, what should I do with this Book of the Dead? is it really sold like this?" Chi Lin asked.
