Odis's thinking continued, and he soon realized that even in theory he could "express" all the abilities that did not involve authority.
But he couldn't do that.
Because if he did this, the "original creator" might very well awaken within him.
Moreover, this is ultimately just theory. Even with the help of the "Gus Staff," it should only be able to express a portion of the Sequence 4 level abilities, because many abilities require not only divinity but also the cooperation of extraordinary characteristics through corresponding pathways.
He then began to contemplate the abstract aspects of divinity, including its influence on intelligent beings.
Take Odis's promotion as an example. On the one hand, this influence modified and strengthened Odis's body to a certain extent, and on the other hand, it also affected Odis's thinking.
Odis had never understood the basis of this influence before, but now he did.
The process was as follows: the extraordinary properties of Sequence 4 level modified Odis's body to a certain extent, and the modified body then possessed divinity.
Because this transformation was ultimately carried out in the direction of the "original," Odis possessed divinity because he had a very slight resemblance to the "original" at this time, and divinity appeared in his body.
Saints, angels, gods, and beings of the past possess increasing divinity because they are getting closer and closer to the "original state".
The reason why divinity could influence Odis's thinking was that divinity covered a part of Odis's emotions.
The part covered is the "original" spiritual remnant.
Odis even thought that this was the reason why "The First" could always ensure that he would not perish, because every extraordinary being, once he became a demigod, would have "The First" resurrected one step at a time with each subsequent advancement.
However, "Initially" is currently in a dormant state and will not have a significant impact on extraordinary beings at the demigod level, nor will it actually awaken.
Therefore, the spiritual remnants of other beings can be more profound than those of the "original". For example, in the "Black Emperor" pathway, when Roselle ascended to the "Black Emperor", because the consciousness of the "original" was in a dormant state, the spiritual remnants of His were not so obvious.
The lingering effects of the previous "Black Emperor," Solomon, were even more pronounced.
But if the "Original" were to awaken one day, it might simultaneously resurrect all the demigods, gods, and ancient beings, thus piecing together a more complete "Original".
Odis took a deep breath, unwilling to continue thinking in that direction. Instead, he thought: My thoughts just now corrected a long-standing misconception. It's not that the extraordinary characteristics of demigods contain divinity, but rather that the characteristics of demigods transform the body, allowing the body to possess divinity!
Having figured these questions out, Oddess immediately felt refreshed.
The illusory symbols on his body quickly disappeared, proving that while Odis was thinking, the Sequence 4 potion had already transformed his body.
At this moment, Odis was relatively easily promoted to "mystic".
Then, the voice of the "Hidden Sage" appeared again, still as cold as ever: "Boundless universe!"
"You are not just a pile of material possessions,"
"It is also a collection of information and knowledge, and a chaotic leap of spirituality."
"The chaotic babbling is the song of the Creator."
"It resounds throughout the universe and has never stopped."
"Endless knowledge is the knowledge of the Creator."
"It operates the universe, and it never stops."
"...Kanal...Endless…"
Odis thought to himself: "Becoming a demigod really makes a difference; I heard several more things all at once."
With the help of the "Goddess of Night," Odis was not worried that the "Hidden Sage" would find her, so she confidently examined the poem, which was already quite coherent.
His first thought was: regardless of whether the "Hidden Sage" was misleading people, His descriptions of the authority of "talking" and the authority of "knowledge" were quite accurate.
Just as Odis had previously conjectured, the "original creator" was the beginning of all extraordinary things, representing all extraordinary authority.
The twenty-two ways, along with the ways held by the Outer Gods, reorganized and divided His authority.
For example, "hermits," "perfectionists," and "white towers" all seem to have authority over a category called "knowledge," only they are expressed in different ways.
Both the "Hanged Man" and the "Abyss" seem to have authority over the category of "talking," but the former seems to have more authority than the latter.
Based on current observations, the two authorities, "knowledge" and "talking," appear to be "adjacent authorities."
Odis then shook his head and stopped thinking about the problem, because it involved too high a level and there was no point in thinking about it now.
Just then, Odis suddenly felt that strange sense of shattering; the "Mystic's" potion had been completely digested.
Odis had imagined that the "mystic's" potion should be digestible in advance, but he did not expect that it could be completely digested.
But he thought about it and it made sense. The ancient secrets he knew were enough for him to digest the "mystic's" potion twice.
This made him somewhat emotional: having just been promoted to Sequence 4, he already had to plan for promotion to Sequence 3.
Having recently acquired the "Master of Prophecy" trait, Odis plans to directly advance using the extraordinary trait. Now, all she needs to worry about are the auxiliary materials and the ritual.
Even with prior preparations, Odis still planned to work as a "mystic" for a period of time first.
Having become a demigod, Odis now possesses basic self-defense capabilities and doesn't have an urgent need for advancement. It's better to slow down, adjust his condition, and then continue his advancement.
Odis then began to use her spirituality to examine the new abilities she had acquired.
The most core ability gained first is "mystical reappearance," which is actually a qualitative change in "witchcraft." It allows one to draw power from mystical knowledge and create "witchcraft" at a higher level.
The fewer people who know the mystical knowledge that provides power, the more power one can draw upon.
Moreover, Odis felt that it was a "reproduction" of the "character" or "scene" rather than a "reproduction" of the person or the event itself.
In other words, as long as Odis knew a certain person or event, he could make a corresponding "reproduction".
Even if he has no idea what the person looks like, and even if the information he has is different from the facts, it does not affect his ability to "reproduce".
This is the biggest difference between the ability of "ancient scholars" to borrow power from "historical gaps".
What is "reproduced" is more like the traces left by that person or event in the spirit world, rather than the real person or event.
This ability is among the stronger ones in Sequence 4; if used well, it can even take on Sequence 3.
However, the risks are also significant, as some occult knowledge is accompanied by malicious spying and hidden contamination.
For example, if Odis were to "recreate" some of the scenes of the "Night King," he could easily be observed by the "Uncertain Mist" or polluted by the "Disordered Kingdom."
Fortunately, Odis was protected by the "wilderness of knowledge," so ordinary attention and pollution could not affect him.
Furthermore, this ability is ultimately a "saint-level" ability. Even if Odis "reappears" a certain god, it will not be upgraded to a "god-level" ability.
Unless there are corresponding divine materials to match, such as the divine blood of the "Elf King", the level of "Mysterious Reappearance" can be greatly improved.
At the Sequence 4 level, "reproducing" scenes about deities is quite dangerous and should be used with caution.
Odis now understood why Bernadette mostly used fairy tales as a basis and the ability to "reproduce" them—because it was safe enough.
At this moment, Odis suddenly realized that in addition to the myths and legends from the East, she also knew the stories behind Chinese idioms.
In theory, it is possible to "transform" idiom stories into abilities, because after being passed down for one or two thousand years, those idiom stories are no longer just stories.
The understanding and application of those stories by generations are enough to leave special traces of them in the spirit world.
The only problem now is that when the "original creator" awoke, the spirit world was destroyed once, and it is unknown whether any traces of the spirit world still exist.
Odis then experimented and a phantom appeared before him: a figure that looked unreal, dressed in ancient clothes, holding a bronze wine vessel in one hand and drawing something on the ground with the other.
"Adding legs to a snake"!
Suddenly, the chair in front of Odis had an extra leg, turning into a five-legged chair.
It really works!
It seems that although the spirit world was destroyed once, it was not annihilated. Many traces of the previous spirit world have been "inherited" by the current spirit world.
Moreover, the older the idiom, the more powerful it is.
Most importantly, Odis's spirituality was not burdened by using these idioms and stories.
This means that when Odis planned to use Sequence 4, he could mainly use these idiom stories or some low-level myths.
Once you reach a higher level, you can then consider "reproducing" mythological stories at a higher level.
All other abilities have undergone qualitative changes, with the biggest change being the "Eye of Secrets." Odis now possesses the complete "Eye of Secrets," which can be freely opened and closed, eliminating the need to seal it with glasses anymore.
Furthermore, the "Eye of Secrets" can be placed on other people or objects for covert surveillance.
Odis's current scrolls have also undergone a qualitative change, and their abilities can be used to deal with demigods.
However, it is indeed quite troublesome to use. You have to throw it out and recite the incantation, which is more complicated than the ability to "reappear".
However, this kind of scroll at the demigod level can be a lifesaver for extraordinary beings below the demigod level.
Odis remembered that the "astrologer" he had killed in Backlund had several scrolls of demigod level on him.
Therefore, the scrolls should continue to be made, as they can be given as rewards to the subordinates.
The only problem is that the number of demigod-level scrolls that can be produced each day is limited, because these scrolls contain a trace of divinity, which is why they can affect demigods.
Sequence 4 possesses very little divinity; without affecting its status, it can create a maximum of 16 scrolls to attack demigods each day.
This is precisely why the number of these scrolls is limited, and therefore they cannot be used by too many people.
Meanwhile, for other "mystics", the materials for making scrolls also require time to collect and process, and the scrolls themselves are not very useful, so there is not much point in making scrolls at Sequence 4.
Odis thought for a moment and realized that he could try to use the "intelligent puppets" in the "wilderness of knowledge" to mass-produce these scrolls. After all, while other things might be lacking in the "wilderness of knowledge," divinity would not be lacking.
When the time comes, each of my subordinates will have several scrolls at the demigod level, which will scare people to death!
The last ability that underwent a qualitative change is the ability possessed by the "astrologer" level, such as "Star Cage" and "Star Pillar".
This is actually a special kind of "witchcraft," and it has been greatly enhanced. For example, the previous single attack has become a "group attack," and other abilities can be used while using "Star Cage."
In addition, Odis gained a unique ability through his study of the blood of mythical creatures: divine tides.
It can make the divinity within one's body surge for a short time, allowing Odis's "Reappearance" to basically reach the level of Sequence 3.
However, this ability can only be used once a day, and the duration of each use can be extended to a maximum of three "reappearances".
After learning about her newfound abilities, Odis carefully restrained her spirituality. Once she had largely controlled her surging spirituality, Odis used meditation to enter the "wilderness of knowledge."
Entering the tower made of spheres of light, Odis was ready to absorb some new knowledge.
But unlike before, no orbs of light flew over, and several images suddenly appeared in Odis's mind.
The first scene is set in a dimly lit space, where Odis can only see two very blurry figures.
Their conversation could be heard clearly. A person with a deep voice said, "'Chaos Sea' and 'Source Castle' are the 'original creators' who once stored all extraordinary things."
"Therefore, these two sources have a rather special significance."
The reason why the "Chaotic Sea" has such a diverse and extraordinary structure is precisely because it once contained such diverse and extraordinary characteristics.
The reason why the "Source Castle" is so strange and abstract is because it once held the "original" authority.
"There is another source substance, which also has special significance."
Upon hearing this, Odis was taken aback; it was the first time he had ever heard such an explanation of the source.
The conversation between the two blurry figures continued, when the other person spoke in a clearer voice: "Is the other source substance with special significance 'the Wilderness of Knowledge'?"
"Yes," the deep voice said, "it is the 'original' brain, representing his wisdom, his thinking, as well as his vision, hearing, smell and expression."
Odis gradually realized that what he was hearing now might be another version of the "creation myth," and since this conversation had been stored in the "wilderness of knowledge," the myth should be more in line with reality.
So Odis listened intently, and heard the clear voice say again: "Then the 'White Tower' should be the adjacent path between the 'Hermit' and the 'Perfect One,' since it seems to represent vision."
"For the 'original', all paths are adjacent paths," the deep voice said. "For us, we cannot do that; we can only break down the characteristics of the 'original'."
"Among the pillars of authority corresponding to the 'Chaotic Sea,' there needs to be an authority representing wisdom, so the 'White Tower' became an adjacent pathway to the four authorities of 'Omnipotence.'"
"I understand," Kongming's voice said. "As long as the authority has a certain similarity or conforms to a certain rule, and has been recognized by the 'Chaos Sea' and the 'Source Castle', it is equivalent to completing the splitting process."
"Two or more of these pathways become adjacent pathways that are acceptable to ordinary organisms."
"For example, the 'hermit' and the 'perfect one' are the remainder, representing two authorities of 'wisdom'."
"Yes," the other party replied. "If you want to open up another pillar path, you must have at least three authorities, and the third authority must be recognized by the 'Chaos Sea' and the 'Source Castle'!"
"Or rather, as long as it is recognized, it can avoid too much 'rejection'."
Upon hearing this, Odis was thrilled: the knowledge gained after ascending to demigodhood was so advanced! It was actually a way to open up a new pillar path! At the same time, it was also describing the process of adjacent paths.
Then he thought: So, besides "God," "Celestial Venerable," and "Fallen Mother Goddess," there could be other pillars! In other words, could utilizing the "wilderness of knowledge" also be considered a pillar?
Odis then gave a wry smile, because this required the "recognition" of the "Chaos Sea" and the "Source Castle".
"Source Castle" is manageable; once he and Klein reach a higher level, they can discuss it with "The Fool".
The Chaos Sea is a bit more complicated, because in terms of the concept of "adjacent authority", the White Tower and the Wilderness of Knowledge are the most compatible, but the holder of the Chaos Sea will definitely not "let go" of this adjacent path.
In the end, Odis shook his head, feeling that it was too early to be thinking about this question.
So Odis continued to look at the extra images in his mind. The conversation between the two blurry figures ended there, and Odis looked at the next image.
Those were actually the blueprints for making the "Gus Staff"!
This "blueprint" was very comprehensive. Odis only glanced at it and understood the entire process of making the staff.
This included how to handle the flesh and blood of the Outer Gods, and how to use divinity to shape the structure inside the staff. These were all advanced manufacturing techniques that Odis found very unfamiliar.
At the same time, Odis also understood why the "Sage" had "outsourced" the creation of the "Gus Staff" to the Elven race during the Second Age.
Because high-sequence extraordinary individuals of the "Hermit" pathway are susceptible to the influence of the ramblings within the flesh and blood of the Outer Gods.
The authority displayed by the "Hermit" is more like the "brain," and the "knowledge transmission" from the "Hidden Sage" to those extraordinary in this path is more like a "brain-to-brain" information exchange.
The authority corresponding to the "original" mode of expression is actually "talking in one's sleep".
Therefore, when facing the flesh and blood of the "Outer Gods" for a long time, advanced extraordinary individuals of the "Hermit" path are more likely to receive some highly polluted information.
Even with the protection of the "knowledge wilderness," this is probably not a very pleasant experience.
Therefore, it makes more sense that the "Sage" completed the design and outsourced the creation of the "Guth Staff" to a "Knowledgeable" pathway angel.
The third shot is clearer, but it's from a first-person perspective.
Before me stood a man in his early twenties, with blond hair, handsome looks, but with a somewhat nerdy air.
The other person was wearing a crown and a magnificent classical robe; he must have been an emperor.
However, His demeanor was rather polite at this moment: "So, in other words, I can only find the 'Land of Chaos' by using the 'Uncertain Mist'?"
"That's right," said the character providing this perspective. "The 'Land of Chaos' is currently sealed, and no one can break that seal, not even me."
"However, the 'Uncertain Fog' still retains a part of the 'Disordered Kingdom,' which can be used to establish a connection with the main body of the 'Disordered Kingdom,' thereby controlling the complete 'Disordered Kingdom' in an abstract sense and ascending to the status of the Old Days."
The latest novel is first published here!
"I can help you design the specific process and seal the 'Uncertain Fog'. Although there will be some risks involved, they seem acceptable compared to the final result."
Upon hearing the voice, Odis immediately realized that the person who provided this image was the "Sage"!
Because Odis had overheard the conversation between the "sage" and the "ancient sun god" during his previous exploration of the ruins of the God War, he remembered the voice.
Odis believed that the young man wearing a crown before him was the "Night King" Terence.
First, His appearance matches the description of the "Night Emperor" in historical documents.
The only thing that surprised Odis was that He was younger than she had imagined.
Secondly, this reminded Odis of something that Teresa, who guarded the library of the "Morse Ascetic," once said: "The Sage" once had a plan with the "Night King" to block the influence of the Outer Gods on the real world.
The whole story dates back to the rise of the "Ancient Sun God". It is said that during the Second Age, the "Ancient Sun God" and the "Sage" patched up the barrier left by the "Beginning".
Later, due to the fall of the "Ancient Sun God," those patches became invalid, and the influence of the Outer Gods on the real world increased. The "Sage" could not handle it alone, so he cooperated with the "Night Emperor," seemingly to fill those loopholes again.
With that in mind, Odis continued to look at the scene.
"Night King" Terence asked, "Why are you helping me?"
The sage replied, "Because I need your power to strengthen the barrier left by the 'original', I will take this opportunity to use some of the remains of the 'ancient sun god' to plug the loopholes in the barrier's existence."
Upon seeing this, Odis thought to himself: Just as I expected!
Terence then asked, "Didn't the remains of the 'Ancient Sun God' form the 'Profane Slab'?"
The sage replied, "I preserved a portion of it in a special way."
Terence paused for a moment and asked again, "In the whole plan, all I need to do is attract the 'Uncertain Mist'?"
"That's right, but don't be too hasty," the "sage" said. "You can't control the corruption of the 'Uncertain Mist' on you, so this plan must be carried out while I am conscious."
"One last question," Trensoust said, "Why is your condition getting worse and worse?"
The "sage" paused for two or three seconds before saying, "I was wrong in my approach to opposing divinity before, and it's too late to change it now."
He paused again and continued, "After I finish this, I may fall into a deep sleep."
"However, you are quite lucky, because I have found the right direction, and I will tell you that direction before I fall asleep."
"You can still maintain a good state after you become the past."
The scene ended there, and Odis breathed a sigh of relief, because he knew very well that the "Sage" and the "Night Emperor's" plan had ultimately failed.
He then remarked that in the Fourth Age, the "wise man" was in a very bad state, but he seemed to have found the best way to counter the divinity.
Odis quickly continued reading, hoping that the "sage" would provide an explanation later, as the most important ability after becoming an angel would be how to fight against divinity.
The fourth scene is also quite clear: Terence, who looks to be only in his twenties, stands in mid-air in front of a huge bronze gate, coldly looking at the sky opposite him.
The sky opposite is more spectacular, with the midday sun, the glow of dusk, and a patch of night sky.
There were also dark clouds with lightning and thunder; a tall tower with a white glow; and a mountain covered with herbs and wheat, with babbling springs.
Odis was taken aback; this was a scene corresponding to the six gods!
He then realized that this was a scene of the six gods surrounding and killing Ternsost.
Trensault's voice echoed through the sky: "You intend to attack me while the 'Hermit' is asleep?"
In the glow of twilight, a figure appeared, carrying a greatsword and wearing tattered armor: "It was you who took advantage of the 'Sage's' slumber to try and bring the Outer Gods to the real world!"
Trensault roared, "I have already blocked the Fog of Uncertainty with the Land of Chaos!"
"It wasn't that I wanted Him to descend; it was that He used the events within the barrier of the 'Disordered Kingdom' to create a breach in the barrier!"
Before the towering structure radiating white light, appeared the figure of an old man with a long beard: "The source matter has been sealed away. Where did your 'Disordered Kingdom' come from?"
"This is the part that the 'Sage' helped me peel off from the 'Uncertain Mist'!" Trensost argued. "Only the last step remains. Once the 'Sage' awakens, he can help me become an Outer God, and we can block the Outer Gods' path to infiltrate the real world!"
"Liar!" A handsome and energetic young man appeared in the bright sunlight: "'The Uncertain Mist' clearly did not fall!"
Trensault immediately said, "That's because of certain qualities of the 'Child of Chaos' that allowed him to break free from our trap!"
"The 'Uncertain Mist' is currently in a very unstable state. As long as I fully absorb the 'Disordered Kingdom,' its level will immediately show signs of decline!"
The handsome and energetic young man said with a righteous expression, "I'm afraid that by then, the Outer Gods will be able to break through the 'barrier' and wreak havoc in the real world."
"Hahahaha!" Trensost suddenly burst into laughter: "You're all just jealous! Jealous that the 'Sage' chose me instead of one of you!"
Instead of continuing the argument, Liu Shen responded with a surging tsunami, a scorching sun, and an exaggerated giant sword.
Soon, the enormous bronze gate in mid-air disappeared. At the moment the gate vanished, it was clear that Terensost had not yet been able to contain the source matter and quickly perished under the siege of the six gods.
Immediately afterwards, a blood-red vortex appeared in the sky, and malevolent gazes were cast from the starry sky onto the battlefield of the divine war.
The next instant, a blood-red vine sprouted from the crimson vortex, with sharp, barbed tongues, eyeballs without eyelids, and strangely shaped teeth growing from it.
The eerie vines quickly blossomed and bore fruit, and all the fruits opened at the same time, revealing a wooden female figure inside.
The six gods immediately rushed forward, using their respective powers and abilities to suppress the growth of the vines.
But at this moment, another crimson wave surged in from the crimson vortex.
Just looking at the scene, Odis was worried for the six gods of the Fourth Age. Judging from the scene, it seemed that after the "Land of Disorder" was no longer blocking the way, the "Mother Tree of Desire" and the "Fallen Mother Goddess" poured into the real world from the starry sky one after another!
At the level of the Six Gods, they simply cannot stop the erosion of the ancient-level Outer Gods.
At this point, Odis roughly understood the whole process of the six gods besieging Trensost.
It is likely that the "Sage" has fallen into a deep sleep, while the "Uncertain Mist" has "utilized" some rules about the "Disordered Kingdom" to open a passage in the "Barrier".
Having gained a preliminary understanding of the "disorderly country," Terence quickly plugged the loophole.
This prematurely exposed the fact that He was merging the "disordered kingdom," which aroused suspicion and attacks from the six gods.
But it's also possible, as "Night Emperor" said, that he was envied by the Six Gods.
Regardless of the reason, Liu Shen killed Trensost, and the invasion channel reappeared.
As Odis continued to look down, just when he was at his wit's end, a ray of pure white sunlight appeared and shone on the crimson wave. The crimson wave was instantly vaporized and struggled to escape into the crimson vortex.
The six gods turned their heads together and saw an incredibly tall, radiant figure appear between the sky and the ground! Behind the figure were phantom images of the sun, lightning, a white tower, and books, and beyond that was a vast, intangible ocean.
That is the "Ancient Sun God"!
Unfortunately, this is merely a "reappearance" of the "ancient sun god" by the "sage".
After driving away the "Fallen Mother Goddess," the towering figure of light and shadow suddenly became illusory.
A figure dressed in ancient Eastern-style clothing appeared near the blood-red vortex. His Eastern charm was very striking, but unfortunately, Odis could not see his face clearly.
That should be a "sage".
The "sage" then "reappeared" a majestic mountain burning with intense flames, and in his hand, he "reappeared" a fan, shaped like an ancient round fan made of banana leaves.
Odis was stunned for a moment: Flaming Mountain! Banana Leaf Fan!
From this perspective, the "wise men" must be prehistoric people, and they must have come from the "distant East".
The "sage" waved his banana leaf fan, and the flames on the majestic mountain suddenly intensified, billowing high as they burned towards the "wooden" "mother tree of desire."
The "Mother Tree of Desire" seemed terrified of the flames. One by one, the "wooden statues" patted the flames burning their bodies as they retreated back into the blood-red vortex.
The seeds He had just planted in the real world were also burned one by one.
As the towering Flaming Mountain vanished, a ball of golden sunlight appeared in the "Sage's" hand. He held the object and used it to plug the blood-red hole.
Odis paused for a moment before realizing that it must be the remains of the "ancient sun god" that the "sage" had preserved in a special way.
Suddenly, the sky brightened, and the blood-red vortex disappeared.
Odis also breathed a sigh of relief; the problem was temporarily resolved.
Then he couldn't wait to see the fifth scene, which was another first-person perspective view.
The scene depicts six enormous figures of varying shapes and sizes: a handsome and energetic young man; an old man with a hood and a long beard; a dignified middle-aged man holding a trident; a warrior in tattered armor; a plump woman holding a baby; and a woman whose face is obscured, with starlight shimmering on her long black dress.
Odis could probably imagine the scene: the "wise man" facing the six gods.
However, there was no tense atmosphere between the two sides; instead, they seemed more like they were preparing to talk.
The voice of the "sage" said, "The remains of the 'Ancient Sun God' have all been used up, and the hidden loopholes in the 'barrier' still exist."
"I will try to hold on with my remaining strength, but I can't last long."
The woman whose face was obscured said, "You're a 'sage'! Are you really not going to make it?"
The "sage" said in a self-deprecating tone, "I am not the 'original creator,' how could I possibly persist indefinitely?"
He paused for a moment and then said, "When you besieged Trensost, you were influenced by the Outer Gods. I will not hold you responsible, but you should bear the consequences of your own actions."
A phantom sphere appeared before the gods, and the "sage" said, "This is the solution I came up with. It will take seven true gods to completely plug the current loophole."
"I have also designed a magic array to protect your divine kingdom from the corruption of the outer gods. You will need to go to the astral plane and use your divine kingdom to resist the erosion of the outer gods."
The warrior in tattered armor asked, "Should we go find Salinger or Chik for help?"
"That's your business," the "sage" said. "I'm too tired to even make any more 'prophecies'."
He took a deep breath and suddenly said something out of the blue: "I tried my best, but I still couldn't change history!"
"The main current of the river of destiny is already determined. Unless it is the 'beginning', even if one has the corresponding authority, one can only change some of the tributaries."
At this moment, the scene suddenly fell silent.
After a short while, the "sage" said again, "I know what you are thinking. You are complaining that I did not choose you."
Then the perspective shifts, and the scene turns to "Eternal Sun," "Lord of Storms," and "God of Knowledge and Wisdom": "If you choose any one of you, the other four will immediately join forces."
"Tell us yourselves, how much resistance would we face if we chose you?"
Then the perspective shifted to the "God of War" and the "Goddess of Night": "You should know that it's not that I haven't considered you, but with the 'Grim Reaper' around, it would be difficult for you to accommodate the 'River of Eternal Darkness'."
"Sallinger is the most suitable candidate. I didn't choose to cooperate with him precisely because I considered your feelings."
"But it's too late now. He has already forcibly accepted the uniqueness of the 'Red Priest,' making it difficult to take the next step."
Finally, the perspective shifts to the "Earth Mother": "You know your own situation perfectly well. The moment you find the 'Mother Nest,' the 'Fallen Mother' could completely corrupt you."
This scene ends here.
Odis felt that the scene just now was somewhat reminiscent of a homeroom teacher telling a group of students, "You are the worst class I have ever encountered."
Generally speaking, deities are majestic and holy beings, and when they express their meaning to believers, they only use a few extremely concise words.
Perhaps it is only when communicating with the past that one can express one's meaning in a less concise and clear manner.
In the end, Odis sighed, for the outcome of this event was already predetermined. The "Sage" was too tired to continue, so he used his last strength to mend the hole in the barrier, and he was very likely to perish as a result.
The characteristics of the "Sage" have been adopted by the current "God of Steam and Machinery" and the "Hidden Sage".
At the end of the Fourth Age, the Seven Gods had no choice but to accept the arrangement and move their divine kingdom to the Astral Plane to resist the invasion of the Outer Gods.
As she pondered this, Odis looked at the last image that appeared in her mind.
After seeing the contents clearly, Odis took a deep breath. It was a spherical structure with seven points marked on it.
This was designed by the "Sage," a plan for "seven gods to mend the hole."
Odis was greatly amazed when he saw the magic array that the "Sage" had designed for the kingdom of the Seven Gods to resist the invasion of the outer gods. In his eyes, it was simply a masterpiece of art!
The basic theory of this magic circle is to use "barriers" as "abstract extensions" to filter out the invasion of external gods. As long as the true god continuously provides divinity and spirituality to the divine kingdom, it will not be affected by the invasion of external gods.
This method of "abstract extension" was the first time Odis had ever seen it, and he estimated that it required the authority of the "Hermit" path to complete such an operation.
Odis also realized why the "barrier" seemed to suddenly become less secure after the "God of War" fell.
Because the "barrier" exists not only in a physical sense, but also in an "abstract" sense.
Similarly, if even a tiny flaw appears, the "barrier" becomes flawed in an abstract sense.
If any of the seven divine kingdoms were to be missing, the plan devised by the "Sage" would have gaps.
After reading through all the knowledge stored in the "wilderness of knowledge," Odis sighed for a while and thought: This historical information must have been left behind in the "wilderness of knowledge" by the "sages."
Moreover, this history has clearly been completely hidden in the long river of history, and even Odysseus, with his "God's perspective," had never heard of it.
Odis then felt that this was deliberately left for "newcomers." After being promoted to "mystic," he suddenly learned such a big secret. He guessed that the "mystic" had almost digested all the magic potions.
However, Odis only thought about it briefly before continuing to look at the new abilities she had gained in the "Wilderness of Knowledge" after her advancement.
