Chapter 10: The Truth Society
Creating life and giving it to the soul is a miracle that can only be accomplished by combining the "source of life" with the "divine right of life".
Alan was amazed and even doubted that in the entire multiverse where the Warlock World was located, apart from Luo Tianhua, the "Lord of Life", there was any other power that could create the same miracle?
Luo Tianhua seemed to see through his mind and shook his head gently.
"I can resurrect the dead, create life, and even create souls out of thin air, but the 'Source of Life' is not omnipotent, and there are some things that even I can't do."
"For example?" Alan asked.
"For example, the liberation of the souls imprisoned by the 'Wall of Heresy'."
Luo Tianhua sighed, a little more lonely in his eyes.
"Alan, you also know that the city of memories of the Shadow Underworld lost its owner many years ago."
"In fact, the previous generation of 'Death Sect Master' Luo Tianye, before being reincarnated, was my twin sister...... His name is Eloline. ”
"She is smarter than me and has more potential, but unfortunately she was unlucky, and in order to defend the bloodline galaxy, she unfortunately fell in the battle with the ancient evil gods, and her soul was bound by the wall of heresy."
"Over the years, I have been conducting research on the creation of life and souls, trying to resurrect my sister, but all experiments have ended in failure."
Allen's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked her: "Your Highness Hua, the soul of the previous generation of 'Lord of Death' is bound, does it mean that there will be no new 'Lord of Death' born in the future?" ”
Luo Tianhua shook his head and patiently explained to him:
"The inheritance bond of the Holy Demon Sect Master is not the soul, but the bloodline, and what happened to my sister will not affect the reincarnation of the new Dead Sect Master."
"It's just that the newborn Sect Master of Death can't find my sister's soul in the bloodline galaxy, and the chain of memories passed down through the generations is missing a link."
"Now that I have recognized the reality, I am trying to save Ilorin's soul, and my current strength alone is not enough, unless I am promoted to the Ancestor or the True God."
"The Holy Demon Ancestor is above, and I will never be able to become the Ancestor by the Sect Master, this path will not work, I can only turn to the gods, this is my personal reason for supporting the god plan."
"As for saving the world and protecting your fellow citizens...... It's more out of obligation, to find a high-sounding excuse for one's actions. ”
"You once asked Xiaoguang, will the world become better after the sect masters become gods?"
"On behalf of myself, I honestly tell you that in the world after the gods, the lives of ordinary people may not be better."
"But my poor sister may be relieved by this!"
"If you think I'm selfish, I don't deny it, it's precisely to fight against selfish thoughts that I want to be a true God, and through a covenant of faith, force myself to take care of believers who are closely connected to my own interests, and become less selfish."
Alan didn't make a sound.
Luo Tianhua's idea is understandable, and it can even be said to be an inevitability.
The attribution of great power to oneself will inevitably lead to absolute selfishness and selfishness, and the sight of all living beings as dust.
Luo Tianhua is still thinking about his sister, and he is already affectionate.
Those Ancestors who left the world of Warlocks were more ruthless than her.
"Allen, Xiaoguang and I, as well as several other sect masters, have long been soberly aware that the plan to seal the gods is not perfect."
"After we were canonized gods, it was inevitable that the sects we created would clash, causing brothers and sisters to turn against each other."
"But in order to take into account the overall situation, we can only implement the plan of the gods, take one step at a time, and find a way to solve the hidden dangers in the future."
"Until your appearance proposes a new way out that we have not envisioned, it may not be possible to fill the hole in the plan of the gods."
"Because of this, I will fully support you in promoting the magic net!"
"Thank you for your support, Your Highness Hua, and thank you even more for opening up your heart to me and confiding your grievances."
Alan said with a serious face.
"My strength is still very weak now, and it seems ridiculous to talk about helping you share your worries and solve problems, in case you have a place where you can use me in the future, I will definitely do my best."
Luo Tianhua nodded, a smile on his face.
"I will remember your promise, Alan, and when you become the Ancestor, don't forget our agreement."
After speaking, she held the reagent bottle containing Allen's blood, walked under the World Tree, and raised her hand to caress a transparent fruit.
Inside the fruit, there is a peaceful world.
Clear lakeshores, green grass, herds of bison walking.
The sky is blue, and the golden sun hangs high.
However, at this moment, the sun suddenly turned into a beautiful big eye, blinking its thick eyelashes, looking down on the earth.
Immediately after, a dimensional gap opened in the void, and the heavenly dome was slowly lifted, like the lid of a box that had been opened.
A large, white hand reached in and poured out the blood from the bottle.
With the sound of dripping.
Blood rained down on the lake.
Tiny beads of blood bounce and tumble happily on the surface of the water, blending into the lake while maintaining their independence.
Like a group of crimson tadpoles, swimming in the lake.
The big hand in the air swayed a gray magic veil.
Under this magical gray mist, the blood droplets accelerated their evolution, transforming into the embryonic shape of a human baby.
Alan stood side by side beside Luo Tianhua and watched her cast spells to catalyze the growth of blood droplets.
This seems to be a legendary spell similar to the "Sands of Time", which also incorporates the source of life, which can shorten the long growth and even evolution of living beings in an instant.
A herd of little creatures in the lake, looking like human babies.
Occasionally, it looks like a dragon but not a dragon, a snake and not a snake, reflecting the Leviathan's bloodline characteristics.
After a while, this group of little creatures left the water and began to try to live on land.
They are still very young, but they have already mastered the art of turning into "gluttonous forms" with their bloodline instincts.
Jump to the top of the food chain in this small world!
Like Alan himself, no matter how he evolved, he still retains more than 90% of his human blood.
This group of small beings evolved from Allen's blood, as an independent new race, both male and female, does not look much different from humans at first glance.
However, their attributes are on average three times stronger than those of humans!
Stronger, prettier, and smarter!
Among them, some of the little guys with super high spiritual attributes and awakened spiritual power can even sense beyond the heavenly dome and are paying close attention to their Allen and Luo Tianhua.
Looking up at the sky, he shouted "Dad" and "Mommy" with childishness.
Allen was both moved and a little embarrassed, and said to Luo Tianhua: "Children are not sensible, and they are open-mouthed. ”
Luo Tianhua pursed his lips and smiled, and said calmly: "It is true that these little babies are transformed by your essence and blood, but they also integrate my life origin, and it is not wrong to call me a mother." ”
"Alright, let them grow freely in this peaceful world, and let's talk about the reward."
Luo Tianhua raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Waves of magic ripple in the air, opening up a dimensional cavern dedicated to storage.
She reached in and touched them, took out four potion bottles, and turned to hand them to Alan.
Including a 5-stage rejuvenation agent and a frozen age agent, after injection, the effect of rejuvenation and longevity is ...... Up to 1,000 years!
There are also two legendary-level super magic skill awakening potions.
……
Mass Magic: Consumes three times the mana, a single spell or supernatural ability, and spreads to the area around the target.
Constant Magic: Consumes four times the mana, and spells or supernatural abilities that last for more than one round.
……
In addition to these gifts, Luo Tianhua also generously told Allen: If you have any request, you can put it forward, and she will try her best to meet it.
Alan wasn't going to make any excessive demands.
"Your Highness Hua, I am very interested in pharmacy, and I am very envious when I see that there are many exotic flowers and plants cultivated in your garden, I wonder if I can collect some medicinal herbs in the garden?"
"Absolutely."
Luo Tianhua readily agreed.
After Allen thanked him, he restrained his excitement and walked through the flowers.
According to the system prompts, collect specific ingredients.
After some searching, a total of 77 potential points were obtained.
Physique, Agility, and Mental stats increased by 9, 5, and 13, respectively.
……
Current attributes: Physique 172, Agility 142, Spirit 190
Current Resistances: Immunosenescence/Virus/Discovery/Prophecy/Psychic/Water/Fire/Electricity/Acid/Cold/Wind/Light, Eclipse Tier 10
Potential Reserve: 140 points
……
On the system panel, the data of "potential reserve" exceeded double digits for the first time.
Alan wasn't satisfied.
In order to efficiently analyze spell configurations and enrich the magic web database, there is never too much potential!
……
Warlock World.
Silvermoon Island, New Gwent Town.
At dawn, the snow still hasn't stopped.
The Panthers family's mansion was lit up all night.
Alan's mother, sister, and younger sisters Angel and Julie are all in the delivery room to accompany Tanya, who is about to give birth.
Alan and his dad stayed outside the delivery room, looking forward to the birth of the third generation of the Pansers family.
It's been three months since he returned to his hometown, and Alan finally ushered in the day of becoming a father, and he was inevitably a little apprehensive.
In the delivery room, Tanya's painful moans were heard from time to time, tugging at his heart.
Tanya is pregnant with a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, coupled with the perennial practice of physical exercises, her physique is special, and it is more difficult to give birth than ordinary mothers.
But it's not a big hassle.
Alan knew very well that all he could do was wait patiently, but he couldn't help but get up and pace, unable to hide his anxiety.
Mr. Mayor sat in an armchair and smoked his pipe.
Seeing his son spinning around, he raised his cane and jerked him on the ass angrily.
"Can't you just wait quietly, boy? Turning around, my eyes are dizzy! ”
Alan rubbed his buttocks and asked his father with a wry smile: "Dad, were you nervous when I was born?" ”
Mr. Mayor shook his head and told his son frankly: "I don't feel nervous at all, after all, I have already experienced, but when your sister was born, she was a little nervous. ”
"Dad, you're too partial......" Alan complained silly.
Mr. Mayor laughed and said to his son, "You can't sit still anyway, so you might as well go for a walk in the yard outside." ”
Alan thought about it for a while, and felt that going out for a walk would indeed help relieve anxiety, so he accepted his father's suggestion, got up and went out, and walked alone to the courtyard where the snow was flying.
The night breeze blows in your face, and the snowflakes fall on your face, sending a gentle coolness.
Alan perked up, and his restless mood calmed down.
During the vacation home, in addition to accompanying his family, Alan did not delay the test of the magic net.
First promoted the magic net within the family, Kelly, Tanya, Angel and Julie were the first users of the magic net he developed, and they also obtained administrator privileges to help him maintain the magic net.
The first phase of testing was a success as expected.
On top of that, Allen increased the scope of testing.
For this purpose, an organization called the "Truth Society" was created to openly recruit members.
Alan personally designed the emblem for the Truth Society.
The black sphere symbolizes a universe full of unknowns.
In the center of the black ball, the white number "3" is inlaid to indicate the purpose of the Truth Society:
Outside of bloodline and religion, through your own wisdom and hard work, you can open up a third path to transcendent power!
Anyone who is interested in learning can join the Truth Society and gain access to the magic web and learn transcendent knowledge.
Membership members must swear to follow the "Oath of Truth", which is also the user agreement of Mowang.
The content of the agreement is very simple, promising that during the period of contact with the magic network, all the learning experience and perception, as well as the inspiration inspired on this basis, the new knowledge created, will be open and shared without reservation, and will be provided to other users of the magic network for reference free of charge.
The simple protocol embodies the spirit of open source, which is exactly the original intention of Allen to create the magic web.
Based on this spiritual core, the knowledge base carried by the magic net can continue to expand like a snowball and never be exhausted.
Members of the "Society of Truth" are called "mages".
Alan also designed an upgrade system for the new transcendent profession of "Mage".
Mage level, linked to access to the web.
The lowest-level mage apprentice can only access the database of the most basic level of the magic web to obtain extraordinary knowledge of the level of 0-ring tricks.
A mage apprentice who is proficient in at least one trick level has the prerequisite for leveling up.
On this basis, it is necessary to accumulate enough magic net contributions.
Uploading learning experiences, publishing research papers, providing creative research topics, or contributing your own brainpower to help analyze spell configurations can all be regarded as contributing to the Magic Net ecosystem and obtaining "experience points" rewards of different points.
Accumulate enough XP to unlock a higher level of access, where you can learn 1 ring of magic, or an equivalent level of transcendent skills.
As a result, the mage apprentice was promoted to a first-order mage.
Next, in addition to learning, you must also contribute your wisdom and energy to contribute to the Magic Net ecology and gain experience points to continue to improve your level.
And so on, from the mage apprentice to the first, second, and third order...... Up to the ninth-order mage, a complete upgrade system has been constructed.
The knowledge of the mage is far greater than that of the warlock and the priest of the same level.
Although the actual combat ability is not necessarily stronger than the latter, what magic skills you want to learn, the initiative is in your own hands.
According to one's talents and preferences, you can freely choose to specialize in a certain school of spells and plan your career future.
This alone is much freer and more capped than a warlock who can only rely on his ancestors and luck to decide which spell to awaken, or a priest who passively asks for divine magic from idols!
During this three-month testing period, Allen found that the users of Mowang who started on the same starting line quickly widened the gap.
Two people who joined the Truth Society on the same day worked at a similar level, and three months later, one of them was still an apprentice, and the other had been promoted to a first-order mage.
The mage system built on the magic net is similar to the scientific research system of Allen's previous life.
The more intelligent and creative practitioners are, the more they can be in this system.
People who are not smart enough can achieve some results just by working hard, but it is difficult to become a pioneer in the academic field.
From this point of view, the mage profession is not absolutely fair.
The level of intellectual knowledge varies from person to person.
Based on this reality, it is not possible to require everyone to devote the same amount of energy and knowledge to the same level.
The Magic Web provides an equal opportunity for all to learn transcendent knowledge, and the ultimate level of growth depends on individual effort and intelligence.
Eren doesn't demand that everyone get the same reward in the magic net, and that kind of mechanic will kill genius.
Regarding the positioning of the "Truth Society", Alan once had a small argument with his sister Kelly.
Alan did not personally serve as the president, and entrusted this title, as well as related affairs, to his sister.
The shrewd Kelly, in the process of presiding over the society, keenly discovered that this academic organization could be transformed into a religious group.
For example, the "oath of truth" that must be observed by those who join the membership is added to the oath of worship of the creator of the magic net, and the initiation ceremony becomes a religious ceremony.
In this way, members can be more tightly controlled, so that each oath bearer provides Alan with the power of faith.
Kelly felt that this would bring more benefits to her brother.
Allen, for his part, was categorically opposed to this.
If the mage becomes a priest and the dragon slayer becomes an evil dragon, it defeats his original intention of opening up a third path.
Just as he had promised Luo Tianhua at the beginning, in order to carry out the idea, Allen must insist that the "Truth Society" draw a clear line from religious groups.
Neither Eren himself, nor any other deity, is worthy of the worship of mages.
The only thing worthy of the mage's worship is the truth.
However, the affairs of the world are often not subject to the will of the individual.
Luo Tianhua once said to him, "There are some things that are hard to pursue but cannot obtain, and some things that you don't expect at all but can have inadvertently."
At first, Alan didn't quite understand her intentions.
It wasn't until he returned to his hometown and founded the "Truth Society" that the promotion and testing of the magic network were going smoothly that Alan gradually realized the deep meaning of these words.
Although the Truth Society deliberately obscured the creator of the Demon Net according to his wishes, it was due to the collective of the Holy Demon Ancestral Court.
However, Allen, as the de facto "Master of the Magic Net", still received a lot of faith willingness.
The power of the will is very weak, and the vast majority are not pious.
Believers do not expect to receive magic or revelation from the "Lord of the Net", but purely from the bottom of their hearts of respect and gratitude.
Despite this, due to the large number, it still provides Alan with a lot of benefits.
This made him realize that people could worship not only a specific deity, but also an abstract idea.
For example, the mages of the Truth Society sincerely agree with the concept of tolerance, fairness, and sharing of knowledge embodied by the "Lord of the Devil's Web" through the creation of the Devil's Web.
Those who agree with these ideas will naturally become followers of the "master of the web", like those atheists who believe in some kind of philosophy or science.
As for whether the "master of the magic net" is Zhang San and Li Si, or a certain institution, it doesn't matter.
In this sense, philosophers and scientists are also "theologians."
Every teacher is a "missionary" of knowledge.
Behind him, in the delivery room, a baby crying suddenly sounded, interrupting Alan's thoughts.
He hurriedly turned around, and with the excitement of becoming a new father, he hurried to the delivery room and returned to his family.
