Chapter III: Planning
After dinner and a half-hour routine family chatter in the living room, Dior and Lilia returned to their respective rooms.
After returning to the room, Dior sat on the edge of the bed in front of his desk, lit the oil lamp, took the books on the table, spread out a notebook, and prepared to carefully plan his future life.
Dior found a blank page, drew a large cross in the middle, and divided the blank page into four parts, each marked with subheadings.
"First of all, my goal is to avoid the catastrophe that will happen nine years later, which is the most fundamental goal and the result I want to achieve. ”
After deciding, Dior first wrote what he thought in the upper left part.
"So, what is the outcome that I don't want to achieve? Is it variable, well, it is, my greatest advantage is to know what might happen in the future, and then the book of the beginning, once the variables I have triggered are too large and the future has changed dramatically, will it make the original catastrophe not happen? Or will it make the catastrophe happen in a way I didn't expect, and it will be stricter and more powerless to resist? It's unknown, and it's not wise to trade an advantage I already have for an unknown outcome, or it doesn't seem advisable to cause too many variables in a short period of time before I have enough information. ”
Boom.
Dior filled in the lower left part with the idea he had identified.
"Next, what does it take to achieve this desired result?First, strength, the power to protect oneself, this is the most difficult originally, but it is very likely to make up for this with the Book of Primordial, in addition, I have heard several seniors talk about it when I was in the archaeological team, and it is said that there are some places such as martial arts places and underground organizations that may have ways to obtain power that ordinary people cannot have, and these can be used as backup options. ”
"And then the second point, is the information. Only the unknown enemy is the most terrifying, as long as there is enough information, even if the lack of strength can be thought of to make up for it. Now it seems that the source of information can be divided into two sources, one of which is to start from the sister's side, to see if she can get in touch with the hidden world that ordinary people can't touch, so as to grasp some enemy information, this should not be a big problem, since she entered the high school in the second half of this year, a total of three years, all living under the same roof, as long as you are careful enough, you will be able to find clues from her daily affairs; on the other hand, I can't put all my hopes on her, I must have another information channel, whether white or black。 ”
"Last but not least, I should be in the dark, so that my strengths can be maximized, so I shouldn't go to the front desk unless I have to......"
The upper right corner was also quickly filled.
"In this way, it will be clear, cultivate, become stronger, figure out what the identity of the enemy is, how big is the scale, how strong is the strength, and then choose the right response strategy, this is what I need to do in the future. So the last part, what else am I missing in order to reach my goal, and how do I get it?"
"Strength, this aspect has been planned, and it is not a big problem. Then in terms of information, if you want to establish your own channels, then first of all, money is indispensable, and then you must have a certain amount of power or network. ”
Dio picked up the pen and wrote the words great power, power and money in the space of the last section.
"In the end, in order to keep it secret, then my original trajectory should be as consistent as possible in the past few years, but in this way, it will conflict with the goal of making money and building relationships. Or do you secretly join a certain force and borrow someone else's power?"
He thought for a moment, continued to write down the words "hidden" and "borrowing", paused, and then added another question mark after the borrowing.
After rechecking what he had written, and making sure there was nothing more to add for the moment, he slowly closed the notebook and placed it in a drawer.
When he walked to the door, he listened to the movement outside, and felt that his parents should have gone back to the room to rest and would not look for him, so he locked the door, and then extinguished the oil lamp, and suddenly, the quiet and deep darkness surrounded him.
He sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, calmly distracting from all distractions, and soon he saw the Book of Beginnings in his consciousness again.
It was the first time he activated the illusion he had seen in the Book of Primordial, his blood began to boil again, his heart was pounding wildly, and there seemed to be thousands of insects dancing wildly in his head, making him want to grab the ground with his head and immediately withdraw from this illusion. But he knew from the information he had obtained that he must not give up at this time, so he endured the mental and physical torture, and used the greatest perseverance to control his spirit to touch the Book of Primor, and the Book of Origin seemed to sense Dior's request, and after a few tremors, he finally slowly turned the first page.
All the negativity receded like a tidal wave, and Dio finally saw the true contents of the Book of Beginnings for the first time.
Without substance, there was an image that came to his mind, along with a message or a message, and after digesting it completely, Dior's consciousness exited the Book of Primor.
"So that's the case, this Book of Origin is not a product of our world, and even before it came to our world, I don't know how many years it has existed, how many worlds it has experienced, how many masters it has, the Sun Sacred Codex, the Heart of God, the Soul Crate, the Supreme Scepter, and so on are all its former names. ”
Although his consciousness left the Book of Primordial, Dio still sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and began to sort through the information he had obtained, which he found was not from the Book of Beginnings, but from its previous owners.
"Hello, friend, when you can see this message of mine, then we are already companions in the same direction, I don't know what you see and what you get from this great being, but I can share my experience and insights with you, and I hope you can take a surprising path. —Jacob. ”
This information seems to have been processed into a language that Dio can understand, but the grammar used in it is somewhat strange, and it is difficult to say which era it is, and Dio also vaguely feels that this character named Jacob is probably not from this world.
Behind Jacob's message there are many words left by others, hundreds of people, or wise, or proud, or domineering, or humble, and after integrating the information inside, Diorton Guò finally has a general understanding of the original book.
"It turned out that what I saw was not the real content of the Book of Primordials, but only the title page. According to the words left by those who came before, every time the Book of Primordial Beings arrives in a world, a new image will be formed and left on the title page according to the rules of that world, and the old one will be automatically eliminated. ”
In the end, the cultivation method that Dio obtained from it was a set of movements called the Dance of the Sun and the corresponding breathing method, which he felt very familiar to him, and after a while he remembered that this was the dance he saw the primitive sacrifice dance in the illusion, and it seemed that this was a set of ritual movements used for sacrifice.
The Dance of the Sun definitely can't be practiced in such a small room, and this thing needs to be under the scorching sun to have the best effect, so Dio put the initial cultivation goal on the breathing method.
It is said to be a breathing method, but in fact, it includes the cultivation of heart rhythm, blood flow rate, muscle control, mental coordination, etc., which is very complicated.
But fortunately, these can be controlled by some special mantras and mudra movements.
Dio sat on the bed and began to change the rhythm of his breathing to the required one, chanting strange and awkward incantations in his mouth, and his hands were constantly changing all kinds of magic seals, although this qiē process had been imprinted in his mind, as long as he did it, he kept making mistakes at first, and it took him nearly four hours to meet the requirements of the breathing method for the first time.
The breathing gradually smoothed down to the point of almost imperceptible Cheng Dù, but there was a strange tremor frequency in the subtleties, and the body began to heat up slowly, and the steaming heat slowly overflowed from his body surface, and in his mind constantly shook the looming twisted patterns, as time passed, the patterns became more and more, more and more clear, and close to each other combined, and finally in Dior's mind for a round of golden sun.
At first it was just a ball of light, then it got bigger and closer, and finally with a bang in his head, Dio felt his consciousness become a living thing, circling around his body.
Muscles, internal organs, blood vessels, nerves, these all appeared in his mind clearly, as if every aspect of his body was under control, and all secrets were hidden.
But it was only for a moment, and then the image in his mind disappeared, and his consciousness returned to reality.
When I opened my eyes, there was no change in front of me, just darkness, but Dior had a feeling that everything was different, and his spirit was very full, and his mind was unprecedentedly clear.
Standing up, Dio came to the window, opened the curtains, and the stars outside the window were shining, and the bright moonlight poured in, staining the room a silvery white, and then he found that his body had been soaked with sweat and exuded a strange smell.
Looking at the time on the alarm clock, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Dior took a change of clothes, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and when he changed his clothes, he felt a little tighter, and he didn't know if it was just an illusion.
After washing, Dior went back to his room and lay down on the bed, taking advantage of this time to catch up on some sleep, for him, every moment from now on.
