“…… Here I can give you some extended reading. The man who 'has completed the deterioration of the high divine arts' mentioned here has actually created a new profession, that is, the 'Demon Man' who transcends the path of the Dao......"

The Pure White Saintess was still patiently speaking to Evas.

But at this moment, Ivus's pupils suddenly became empty for a moment.

She was stunned for a moment, and then she saw that the bottom of Ivus's originally dark blue pupils suddenly ignited a trace of pure and shocking true red—

Like the rising sun, the morning sun leaps over the edge where the sky meets the sea. The crimson was accompanied by a golden ring, and it made people feel as if there was light shining on their faces.

…… What's going on?

Pure Bai's eyes widened suddenly.

In an instant, an unbelievable thought came to her.

Ivus, it won't be ......

Seeing that Aihuas's gaze focused again, the light in his eyes slowly extinguished, and pure white temporarily suppressed the terrible thoughts in his heart.

“…… From this point of view, Cardinal Hecati, who studied higher divine arts, actually had a conjecture. She believes that a prerequisite for mastering advanced magic is that it is 'possible to become an illusory egg'. ”

She continued.

And Ivas also asked casually: "Is it possible to think like this: being able to become an illusory egg actually has some special qualifications?" ”

"That's right."

Pure White nodded.

She continued to explain patiently, and Eivas listened attentively.

- Because the ability to be directly mastered through the system does not have relevant knowledge.

And the high-level divine arts are not the same as abilities such as "Radiant Fire". It's not a skill, it's a whole system...... Similar to "divination" or "alchemy". Even if it can be used, it is difficult to use it completely without knowledge.

When Pure White had roughly finished the first book, Ivas pulled out the second book.

This book is called "High Divine Art: Vessel of the Soul".

Without waiting for Ivus's request, Chunbai spoke directly: "To talk about this, it is necessary to involve the connection between the material world and the dream world. Not only do people enter the dream realm after death, but the phantom demons in the dream realm enter the material realm after death; The gods of the dream world can directly influence and transform the material world, and the various trends of thought and changes of the times in the material world will also feedback and affect the dream world.

And in these two processes, the only thing that communicates within the two realms is the soul. The power that transcendents get from the dream world will eventually return to the dream world after death, regardless of whether they become illusions or not, so the things in the dream world are always in the dream world; No matter how the material world changes, matter is ultimately conserved, so things in the material world are always in the material world...... Only the soul can communicate back and forth between the two worlds.

"When a person dies, if he can be sublimated into an apostle or a celestial priest, or if he is impregnated by the power of the path and becomes a wild illusion, thus escaping the fate of samsara, then he is tantamount to ascending his will into the dream realm; In the same way, both the Celestial Division and the Apostles in the Dream Realm can also be reincarnated back into the Material Realm, and the Apostles can walk in the Material Realm.

"Illusions such as goblins, demons, and fairies can also enter the material realm—if they die in the material realm, even if they can return to the dream realm as the essence of the illusion, they will still have some of their will destroyed in the material realm. So from this point of view, there is only the soul...... In other words, the will is able to travel back and forth between the two realms, and does not belong to either realm. The basic theory of higher divine art is here.

From this point of view, we think that the physical body is actually a temporary container for the soul, and that man is equivalent to a god in his infancy. The essence of the High Divine Technique is to make the soul a vessel for another will. That is, to transform the body into a 'container of containers'. If the original body is just a bowl with water in it, that is your soul; Then we now have to turn the body into a cupboard, and let the water-like souls condense into one bowl of ice for different divine wills......"

Hearing this, Ivas finally saw the pop-up window:

[Grey Eternal is teaching you the "High Divine Technique (2/11)", does you pay 112 public experience to master this mystical skill?] 】

This experience was less!

Ivas was overjoyed.

The total amount of experience he has accumulated is only 5,214 points, and if the demand for experience is getting higher and higher, I am afraid that he may not be able to learn enough. In that case, he's probably going to have to find a way to gain some more experience.

And pure white can clearly see that Aihuas's pupils have become empty again.

The glow of the morning sun once again reflected under his pupils—a little brighter than before. It's like the sun moves upwards for about ten minutes during sunrise. Although it is not very obvious, the difference can be clearly seen with pure white memory.

- Sure enough.

Chunbai's heart sank, and he was convinced of his previous conjecture.

A fragment of a memory popped into her mind—something the Eternal Pope had said to her while she was still conscious.

His Majesty the Pope told her that Bishop Mathers had written to mention ...... Ivas mastered the "Fire Ritual Method" even faster than His Majesty the Pope. He hadn't even finished the whole story before Ivas had mastered it all—even more deeply than many people who had studied it for three or four years.

"That feeling is closer to 'remembering' than 'learning'."

At that time, His Majesty the Pope exclaimed: "If it weren't for the fact that Ivas was just a human being...... I wondered if I should try to make him pope. Maybe he could even 'remember' it so easily even with high-level divine arts. ”

And before meeting Ivus, pure white scoffed at this.

In fact, she has great respect and yearning for His Majesty the Pope.

As an eternal saint, she shares a legacy called "Eternity" with the Eternal Pope. In a sense, the relationship between the two of them is like that of a mother and daughter...... Although the Pope's body now looks much younger than her.

But that is also because of the price that must be paid to bear the Most Holy Crown.

As the top artifact in this world, the [Supreme Holy Crown] that can allow a critical powerhouse to forcibly break through to the next energy level, of course, it comes at a price. And the price of it is the user's [years].

In the eyes of ordinary people, it seems to be an artifact with a rejuvenating effect.

But in reality, this kind of rejuvenation does not prolong life, but doubles the life expectancy - when you wear it, you will burn the years "forward" and "backward" at the same time. The appearance effect is to make the body smaller and smaller.

Normally, saints succeed the pope at the golden age of about three or four hundred years old, and at the end of their three-hundred-year term they will step down and become saints—the so-called saints, that is, "extra-ecclesiastical devotees" who "have the power of the fifth rank but have not become cardinals".

A four-hundred-year-old elf, if she has been a pope for three hundred years, then she will only look a hundred years old, like a human child of twelve or thirteen years old, but in fact she is already a thousand years old, and she is also dying by the standards of elves.

Then her body will grow at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and quickly return to its original state. The rate of aging is even faster than the rate at which humans grow. It may only take twenty years to grow from a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old to an old lady of eighty or ninety years old. The rest of the time is the "retirement vacation" for these saints to travel around the world.

The Virgin-in-Waiting could not leave the Twenty-First Circle, and the Pope could not leave the Twenty-Second Ring at will. On the contrary, the Holy Maiden stage can run around the church...... But it is also impossible to leave the church.

Only after leaving office can one leave the church and travel abroad.

This little life is the little time that these retired popes have at their disposal.

From this point of view, being a pope is not a "good thing". It is actually a sacrifice as well as a dedication. Because of this, only the most dedicated people are willing to sacrifice their lives in this ceremony.

After more than two hundred years of penance, he was able to communicate with the genius of the Nine Pillars God in his youth...... It takes more than 300 years of solitude and another 300 years of life sacrifice to get those last 20 years of freedom.

- Even if Evas could barely learn the high divine arts, he would never become a pope.

Pure white was so convinced back then.

Because this is an unbearable pain for short-lived species.

Not to mention, just learning the higher divine arts would almost burn out their lifespan. And if you have done anything to your soul, it may affect the evaluation after death...... What could have been an apostle may have been made less pure because of this. It's also for their good not to let them continue to study.

However, Ivus ......

There was only one thought in her mind.

It turns out that everything that Bishop Mathers said back then was true, and it turned out that His Majesty the Pope's paraphrase was so accurate.

There are really people who "learn" as if they "remember"......

It's a miracle.

If there is a first miracle, why can't there be a second?

…… Could it be that Ivas really has a chance to become pope?

Even a short decade, or even a short "vicarious pope", would be able to change the question of the Papacy – any cardinal would seem too extreme for the Church today.

Because they are not like the eternal saints, who received the most calm and balanced education from the very beginning, but have their own opinions. If he gains the power of the Pope, he may change the position of the Church of the Nine Pillars of God in the permanent neutrality of various countries...... No, not perhaps, but definitely.

But if Ahuas, an Avalon who is less than the fifth level, becomes the "Acting Pope", it may be much better!

As long as he can delay it for ten years, or even less...... Maybe in just a year or two, a drug to treat your own curdling will be developed!

At that point, he will be able to take over......

…… No, it still doesn't.

Chunbai shook his head and suppressed his heartbeat.

That would be equivalent to burning the lifespan of Ivus...... She couldn't do that, it would hurt Evas.

For short-lived species, any year is precious.

Pure White sighed secretly, gathered his mind and continued to explain the techniques of advanced divine arts to Ivus.

At the same time, she is still looking forward to-

- Anyway, let me see the miracle first, Aiwath.

Chunbai said in his heart.
