Larion, the Grand Patriarch of the Church of War who remained in a mythical creature state, opened the "Trentost Brass Book" in his hands.
A line of text immediately appeared: Information technology is prohibited here.
This is to prevent Odis from entering the state of the mythical creature.
Odis drew the "Gus Staff" from his waist and "recreated" a man in his twenties with brass-colored hair and a somewhat nerdy air.
Mystery reappears: The Night Emperor's Judgment!
The "Night Emperor" that was "recreated" exuded a terrifying aura. Extraordinary beings and soldiers within a radius of dozens of kilometers all unconsciously knelt down in the direction of the "Night Emperor," and even animals prostrated themselves on the ground, showing their submission to the "Night Emperor."
Only someone of Larion's angelic caliber could withstand such pressure and not kneel down.
However, the "brass book" in his hand showed submission to the "Night Emperor".
The Night Emperor glanced at the Brass Book, which immediately read: No one may possess the Brass Book of Trenshorst!
Larion's wrists were cleanly severed by a mysterious force, and the Brass Book fell to the ground. The High Patriarch gave a bitter smile. This was the helplessness of dealing with high-sequence extraordinary beings of the "Secret Seeker" pathway. The "Giant King" reappeared in front of extraordinary beings of the "Warrior" pathway, and the "Night Emperor" reappeared in front of the "Bronze Book".
How can we fight like this?
Even the "historical projections" of the "diviner" approach are not this difficult to deal with. After all, they are just projections in the end, and it is difficult to establish a strong occult connection. They are not like "reproductions" and can almost be mistaken for the real thing.
At that moment, a silver-white "Sword of Judgment" flew toward Larion because he was guilty by the "Night King" for "illegally" possessing the "Bronze Book"!
Larion focused his spiritual energy, and a layer of twilight-colored armor immediately appeared around his body. The silver-white "Sword of Judgment" was unable to pierce through this extraordinary armor of angelic level!
However, the judgment of the "Night King" was still reflected in an "abstract sense." Larion, inside the armor, suddenly froze and died.
But in the next second, the body instantly rotted, turning into a pool of black liquid.
Not far from the black liquid, a "brand new" Larion emerged from the spirit world.
This is the power of "decay," which can revive from decay.
But in the next instant, a torrent of knowledge appeared before Larion, and after the "brass book" fell to the ground, all the previously written "rules" disappeared.
So Odis can now freely enter the mythical creature state and rush towards Larion.
Larion immediately summoned the twilight-colored light, but it was too late. Odis, in her state of knowledge torrent, had already entered Larion's one eye. Larion's eye and part of his brain were instantly assimilated by Odis, turning into a state of information flow.
The reason it didn't all become information flow is because the twilight light blocked the encroachment of the extraordinary.
Odis, hiding inside Larion's head, first "confiscated" all of Larion's brain's experience in dealing with extraordinary individuals who had the "Spy" pathway.
Then Odis "modified" her own information, turning herself into a dense array of steel spikes that pierced Larion's normal brain.
Larion screamed, and a greatsword with a twilight glow appeared in his hands. He then swung the sword at his own head, severing about half of it off.
Odysseus was in the part that was cut off.
Larion, now missing half his head, suddenly froze. It wasn't because he was "brainless" now; after all, at this level, even losing one's entire brain wouldn't affect the fight.
Larion stood there stunned because he had lost much of his knowledge and suddenly didn't know how to deal with the enemy in front of him!
Just then, Larion seemed to sense something and suddenly looked south.
The war of the gods is over!
The skies above Backlund.
Within that dark "kingdom" overgrown with moonflowers and night-blooming jasmine, the "God of War's" longsword clashed with the "Goddess of Night's" heavy, jet-black scythe, resulting in a stalemate.
The intense friction between the surrounding twilight and darkness produced a bright ray of dawn.
The Earth Mother Goddess quickly approached the two deities locked in a stalemate, presenting a perfect opportunity to attack the Night Goddess!
Suddenly, a dark brown cane silently pierced the "God of War's" back, frantically absorbing the deity's life force and dragging him back to the earth, back to the embrace of his mother.
The other end of the dark brown cane was held in the hand of the giant "Earth Mother Goddess".
The "God of War" slowly turned his head and looked at the woman holding the illusory baby in one arm: "Lilith?"
The "Goddess of Night," standing directly in front of the "God of War," chuckled softly, causing the bird-shaped golden ornament in her hand to fly out on its own and accurately insert into the gap in the "God of War's" mask. Then, she tossed the "Crimson Moon," which she was holding in her other two hands, to the "Earth Mother Goddess."
The next second, part of the "God of War's" body collapsed, and clusters of orange-red twilight light pierced through the tranquil darkness and fell on the area around Backlund.
Some fell onto battlefields, causing countless soldiers to perish; some collapsed mountains, creating lakes that aged all living beings; some merged with certain lucky creatures, transforming them into crazed and powerful monsters; some shrouded the Twilight Stronghold outside Saint Milon City, instantly extinguishing the solidified orange-red glow there…
On a mountain peak hundreds of kilometers away, Medici, who witnessed the end of the war of the gods, also felt the impact of the "God of War's" fall. First, the spirituality around him underwent a drastic change, followed by a spatial tremor.
The fall of a god will cause a huge shock to the real world.
After all the commotion subsided, Medici smiled and said, "Four eras, thousands of years have passed, and there are still people who don't understand."
"Ah—the 'Goddess of the Night' has two powerful partners; no one can gain an advantage over her, let alone steal her uniqueness and characteristics."
After speaking, Medici went to Remburg's military camp, restarted the "Extraordinary Puppet," and began attacking the Fussack army, which had been greatly shaken and had lost all will to fight.
The border between Reymburg and the Republic of Intis.
High in the sky, the sun swelled to the point of covering half the sky, and the intense sunlight made it impossible for people hundreds of kilometers around to open their eyes.
On the other side of the sky is a phantom tower, each level of which is composed of thick books, each with a brass-colored eye on it. The higher you go, the darker and more mad it becomes.
These are the "Eternal Sun" and the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" currently engaged in battle. At this moment, they have already sensed that the divine war on the side of Backlund has ended, and they also know the outcome of the divine war.
The "Eternal Sun" made the sun even more dazzling, and just as it was about to leave, an ancient stone slab suddenly appeared in front of the "God of Knowledge".
That stone slab has a profound sense of history, as if it came from the distant past, and has an indescribable sense of grandeur. The first "blasphemous stone slab"!
The part of "Eternal Sun's" consciousness that was constantly being suppressed was deeply attracted by this stone slab.
At that moment, behind the tower, a phantom ocean appeared, an ocean that seemed to hold endless possibilities.
Chaotic Sea!
However, this chaotic sea appears to be very thin.
For a moment, "Eternal Sun" felt an irresistible urge to get closer to the ocean. For a few moments, he felt as if he belonged to that ocean.
But the "Eternal Sun" quickly regained its senses: "Desecrate the stone tablet!"
The next second, the "Eternal Sun" made itself even brighter, the surrounding sunlight turned incandescent white, and the plants and creatures on the ground underwent obvious mutations.
But soon, the intense sunlight was suppressed by the illusory ocean, and two spears composed of mystical symbols appeared around the tower, piercing into the sun that occupied half the sky.
Two black dots suddenly appeared in the bright white sun.
Just then, a hazy light and a hurricane powerful enough to topple mountains arrived.
Those were the "God of Steam and Machinery" and the "Lord of Storms" who had sensed something was wrong. Just a moment ago they were enemies, but now they had a common goal: to prevent the "Eternal Sun" from being harmed!
Without lingering, the "God of Knowledge" swiftly returned to the starry sky, carrying the first "Blasphemy Slab".
The remaining three gods, the "Eternal Sun," the "God of Steam," and the "Lord of Storms," watched silently in the direction the "God of Knowledge" had left. They couldn't understand why the first "Blasphemy Slab" was in the hands of the "God of Knowledge."
And why not use the "God of Knowledge" at the very beginning of the battle? He would have a better chance of succeeding then!
Suddenly, they looked up at the sky and saw faces, some ugly and some beautiful, lying on the barrier.
Outer God!
The "god of knowledge" is attracting the attention of the outer gods!
Ammanda Mountains.
Larion and the members of the Church of War remained there, their spiritual bodies deeply shaken.
Not only because no one expected the outcome of the war of gods to be like this.
Furthermore, the fall of their god, the "God of War," had a profound impact on their spirits.
In the next instant, some unfamiliar knowledge suddenly appeared in Larion's mind. This knowledge was very advanced and seemed to contain the mysteries of the gods!
Larion immediately understood; this was the way to resurrect the God of War.
Plop plop~
Odis "reappeared" as the "God of War" with his tattered armor, and his longsword, glowing with the color of dusk, pierced Larion's back, instantly making Larion appear old with the aura of decay.
Larion didn't dare look at the "God of War" behind him, but looked at Odis with some fear.
Odis also felt that he might have gone too far; killing someone by destroying their spirit was no more than this.
But then he shook his head. For a dead man—a dying angel—it didn't matter whether things went too far or not.
Then the "God of War" who "reappeared" pulled out the sword that was stuck in Larion's back and stabbed Larion again, breaking his spine.
As the "God of War" disappeared, a phantom orb of light appeared in Odis's hand, and several streams of information rushed toward Larion, turning his legs and arms into streams of information.
Larion summoned the twilight-colored light once more to counter Odis's "information-based" attack, but the light was very unstable.
The impact of the "God of War's" fall on this path is not yet over; the light summoned by Larion...
Unable to resist Odis's "informatization" process.
Larion turned his head slightly, "looking" at Odis with the remaining half of his head, which had no eyes.
Although she had no eyes, Odis felt a firm gaze upon her.
The next second, Larion was completely enveloped by the information cloud, and his determined gaze vanished.
Odis breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "Angels using the 'Warrior' path are really hard to kill!"
At this moment, he noticed that what was wrapped in the information cluster was not extraordinary characteristics.
With a wave of his hand, the stream of information dissipated, revealing a small bone sword inside.
Odis was also somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that a sealing artifact would be formed.
However, on the other hand, this is indeed better than special features.
It's still usable, at least for now.
Unless the "God of Steam and Machinery" personally intervenes, it is virtually impossible to create a sealed artifact with the characteristics of the angel level.
Fortunately, once they reach the level of angels, their spirits are already extremely powerful. A large number of angels, after their fall, will form sealed artifacts.
Odis glanced at the extraordinary individuals of the "Warrior" path who were still somewhat bewildered. With a wave of his hand, a torrent of knowledge surged in from all directions, turning these extraordinary individuals into a part of that torrent.
Then he obtained a small set of extraordinary properties.
As Odis was about to pack his spoils into the "Wilderness of Knowledge," he suddenly realized that he could no longer sense the existence of the "Wilderness of Knowledge."
He paused for a moment, then immediately realized: the Celestial Master was using the "Wilderness of Knowledge"! At this moment, the "Wilderness of Knowledge" was operating at full capacity!
Let's go back one minute to when the battle of the gods ended.
Inside a small, unnoticed chapel on the outskirts of Backlund.
A devout priest, dressed in a simple white robe and sporting a light golden beard, opened his eyes, revealing a childlike clarity and innocence in his gaze.
He calmly took out a bottle of golden potion from his pocket, unscrewed the cap, and poured the liquid into his mouth.
The next instant, without any transition or ascension, and without needing any transition or process, one becomes a "dreamer".
For a moment, the ocean of the subconscious mind was violently shaken, and everyone's heart seemed to be touched, but the next second, they ignored the touch.
Only demigods could vaguely recall a slight stirring, while the angels on Earth knew clearly that the new "
The "Daydreamer" was born.
A Taoist master, dressed in traditional Eastern attire, with a long beard and holding a whisk, suddenly appeared beside me.
The two exchanged a single glance and then immediately disappeared from the church.
In almost a second, they appeared underground in Trier, the capital of the Republic of Intis.
There is a huge space here, like a not-so-long canyon, with hard rocks on both sides.
Even the witches who frequently ventured into the depths of Trier were unaware that such a place existed underground.
After searching for a while, the two came to a "fossil".
It was a huge tree, only the trunk from the bottom to the top of the cliff; the crown and roots were nowhere to be seen.
The thick bark looks like a hard fossil, devoid of any life, as if it were an ancient tree formed in the same era as the surrounding rocks.
Under the watchful gaze of the Celestial Master's "Eye of Secrets," this great tree is full of vitality. Its roots are ethereal, connecting the desires of everyone in Trier. Its equally ethereal, enormous canopy lies beneath the surface of Trier, constantly sowing new desires.
This is the "Shadow Tree" planted by the "Mother Tree of Desire" during the Second Age using ingenious methods.
By the Quaternary period, the tree, with its back against Trier, had slowly completed its growth process.
When the gods discovered it, its roots had already penetrated deep into the real world, into the desires that Trier gave to individuals, and could no longer be eradicated.
However, Adam and the Celestial Master are not ordinary true gods. Just because the Seven Gods could not remove them does not mean that we have no way to do so.
Before this great tree, Adam waved his hand, and he "imagined" millions of virtual personalities.
The Celestial Master then immediately "reappeared" as an old man with white hair, flowing white beard, and a kind face, wearing a Bagua robe.
This is one of the forms that "Celestial Venerable" has shown before. The former "Primordial God" had already isolated this form, so "reappearing" this form would not further awaken the consciousness of "Celestial Venerable".
The phantom of the "Celestial Venerable" waved his hand at the "Shadow Tree," and the tree was immediately "fooled." Its roots mistook the personality that Adam had "imagined" for a resident of Trier.
Thus, illusory roots left the people of Trier and penetrated into the "imagined" human personality.
Then came the pulling process. The Taoist priest waved his whisk, wrapped it around the tree trunk, and pulled upwards with all his might.
Before Adam appeared a simple, unadorned stone slab. This slab also possessed a sense of grandeur, but it lacked the profound historical weight of the slab before the "God of Knowledge."
Then the illusory ocean pushed upwards from below, loosening the massive tree with its enormous root system, which was slowly moving upwards.
The entire population of Trier seemed to sense something, as if something deep within them had been pulled and touched.
Unbeknownst to them, a phantom tree was being uprooted from the ground in Trier. It appeared on the surface and was passed through by real residents without anyone noticing its existence.
Soon it grew taller than the city's skyscrapers, blocking out the sky, but no one noticed.
At this moment, a field with a clear and bright light appeared in mid-air above Trier. Its specific appearance was not clear, and only illusory figures could be seen moving around.
This is a "wilderness of knowledge".
The next second, the illusory tree that was underground in Trier suddenly appeared in that field.
The bright, clear fields vanished, and it was as if nothing had ever appeared in the sky.
When the Outer Gods sensed the strangeness in Trier and turned their attention to it, the "Shadow Tree" had already been taken into the "Wilderness of Knowledge" by the Celestial Master.
The Celestial Master and Adam suddenly appeared in the depths of the universe.
In the dark universe before them stood a colossal humanoid tree with chaotic scales, its surface covered with glistening, alluring fruits, wet, seductive flowers, various metal badges, a black heart, naked tumors, and metal coins from different civilizations.
High up in the giant tree are two heads. One is below, a male with closed eyes and filled with strange desires. The other is above, a female with bluish-green hair and an exceptionally beautiful face, possessing a charm that directly points to love.
The true form of the "Mother Tree of Desire"!
With so many Outer Gods gathered around Earth, the "Mother Tree of Desire" certainly wouldn't allow its true form to appear in such a dangerous place.
The Celestial Master and Adam wanted to uproot the "Shadow Tree" in order to find the "Mother Tree of Desire" in reverse!
One of them controls the Source Essence, and the other controls this "Desecrating Slab." They have a chance to damage the "Mother Tree of Desire," thus eliminating a powerful opponent in the future war of the old days.
Of course, given the Celestial Master and Adam's scheme, it was impossible to gamble with "certain hope." The main reason they launched the attack while the Outer Gods were distracted by the divine war was because the Celestial Master had obtained the "Dust-Avoiding Pearl" from ancient times in the Western Continent!
Legend has it that this magical artifact can make dust fly away, preventing a certain area from ever getting dusty again, but this is its effect in the hands of ordinary people.
This is the remains of the "original creator," which, in the hands of the Celestial Master, can temporarily strip away all desires.
Evil and depravity.
However, the downside is that each time the owner of the sealed artifact uses it, they will lose a portion of their sanity, and the divinity within them related to the "Primordial Creator" will increase. At most, after three uses, even a true god's spiritual body will suffer problems.
Even if the Celestial Master is in a pure divine state, he can only use it twice at most. Using it a third time would wipe out the advantage that Xiu had been planning for over a thousand years.
Fortunately, it can be changed to a different owner after being used twice.
However, angels and archangels can only use it once relatively safely. Only true gods or above can use it a second time without irreversible consequences.
After successfully finding the true form of the "Mother Tree of Desire," the Celestial Master raised his hand, and a pure white, jade-like "Dust-Avoiding Pearl" appeared. The fruits on the "Mother Tree of Desire" immediately fell off, the flowers withered instantly, and the entire "giant tree" looked lifeless.
This item indeed had a very good restraining effect on the "Mother Tree of Desire," immediately putting it into a weakened state.
Adam summoned the second "Blasphemy Tablet," and behind him appeared once again an illusory ocean, which seemed to contain all secrets and encompass all colors.
Just as the robe was about to launch an attack, it was suddenly touched by a spiritual force and used the "blasphemous stone tablet" to block it to its side.
The next instant, a surge of vitality swept over them. However, this vitality was so intense that if it weren't for the "blasphemous stone tablet" blocking their way, Adam and the Taoist priest would already be pregnant with the evil god's offspring.
In the dark universe, a colossal figure appeared, resembling a giant winged woman haphazardly stacked from various reproductive organs. The billowing smoke and crimson moonlight intertwined to form the outer clouds that served as her clothing, much like the accretion disk surrounding a black hole.
This enormous figure had a massive head resembling that of a female human, with features and contours that were...
Her long brown hair and scarlet eyes were flawless, directly embodying the concept of "beauty." She was a symbol of beauty in the universe and radiated a distinct maternal glow.
"Fallen Mother Goddess"!
In that instant, both the Taoist priest and Adam gained some understanding.
The "Mother Tree of Desire" foresaw that it would be attacked, so it revealed the location of its true form to the other Outer Gods and told them that there was an extraordinary force on Earth that wanted to ambush it.
To avoid being detected as malicious by the "Mother Tree of Desire," Adam concealed his and the Celestial Master's true plan before launching the attack. The Celestial Master didn't even tell Odis about their actions. However, the "Mother Tree of Desire" still managed to detect it beforehand.
Since the operation has failed, we must evacuate immediately to avoid being besieged by the Outer Gods.
However, before the evacuation, the Celestial Master used the "Dust-Avoiding Pearl" to temporarily resist the "Fallen Mother Goddess." Adam did his best to absorb the power of the "Chaos Sea," giving himself a little bit of the authority of the "Lord of the Stars," and exerting influence on the fleeing "Mother Tree of Desire."
For the next thirty years, the "Mother Tree of Desire" will be unable to use the astral plane to send its power to Earth!
The next instant, the Celestial Master and Adam vanished from the depths of the universe and returned to Earth.
Other Outer Gods arrived here one after another, but they found no target; at least none of them seemed to have the "Fallen Mother Goddess" as their target.
The Fallen Mother Goddess exclaimed, "The 'Sage' has returned."
Forces on Earth have once again launched a deliberate attack on the ancient stars, the last time such an event occurred was during the Quaternary Period.
On Earth, those who received the gifts of the "Mother Tree of Desire" suddenly found themselves unable to feel their extraordinary power.
Although the barrier is still very strong, the "Mother Tree of Desire" can still use the "Abyss" and the " Bound God " to influence the real world and "create" a group of Blessed Ones.
There aren't many, but they exist.
However, it's gone now. A phantom barrier suddenly appeared in the starry sky, blocking the source of the blessed power.
The "divine wrath" Si'a, hiding in the spirit world, seemed to sense something and stretched its head out of the spirit world into the real world, looking up at the sky.
The next second, he realized that his connection with the "Mother Tree of Desire" had been severed.
However, after watching for more than half a minute, I didn't see anything and had no idea what had happened.
Fortunately, if you actively pray to the "Mother Tree of Desire," you can still make contact, but you won't be able to provide any substantial help.
Although the channel through which the power of the "Mother Tree of Desire" descended was severed, the previous contamination of the "Mother Tree of Desire" and the power it descended still remain.
For example, the pollution of the "Abyss" and the "Demon King" has not disappeared; the "Abyss" remains a forbidden zone for all living beings.
For example, the contamination and sealing of " Bound God " still exist, and that contamination continues to slowly erode "Bound God."
The will of "Bound God ".
A small cabin on the top of a hill on Cruz Island.
Odis could only keep sealing it, and only then did the "Bronze Book of Trensost" remain in a relatively quiet state.
He finally understood why Larion hadn't brought the sealed artifact with him; for an angel...
The sealing is very difficult.
Odis estimated that, normally, this "brass book" was sealed within the divine realm of the "God of War".
Larion only uses it when necessary.
Now that the "God of War" has fallen, the seal on it has also disappeared, and the "Bronze Book" has become active again.
Suddenly, Odis sensed the "wilderness of knowledge" again, and he quickly gathered all of today's spoils into it.
Then he himself entered the "wilderness of knowledge".
Upon entering the "Knowledge Wilderness," a wave of heat hits you. In the very center of the Knowledge Wilderness, there is a huge bronze alchemy furnace, inside which a raging fire is burning.
The Celestial Master, using the Bagua steps, was circling the alchemy furnace.
Odis didn't know what the Celestial Master was doing, but it could sense the full power of the "Wilderness of Knowledge."
It was as if everything had gathered around him.
Half a minute later, the fire in the alchemy furnace suddenly went out. The Celestial Master let out a long breath, waved his whisk, and the furnace opened. An iron tree about the length of an arm flew out of it.
This cycad has a trunk about the length of a walking stick, just the right size to hold in your hand.
Further up are iron branches with sharp spikes, which look very sharp.
Odis's spiritual sense immediately detected that this "iron tree" possessed the rank of a level 0 sealed artifact!
However, Odis could not "see" what specific abilities they possessed.
After observing it for a moment, the Celestial Master let the "Iron Tree" float towards Odis: "You can take it and use it."
Odis smiled and thought to himself: What a bountiful day!
Then he asked, "Where did this come from? Where did you go just now?"
Holding the "Iron Tree" in his hand, Odis realized that it was by no means an ordinary level 0 sealed artifact.
The Celestial Master waved his whisk again, and the enormous alchemy furnace vanished.
Only then did he tell Odis about his actions with Adam.
Hearing the end, Odis was somewhat surprised: "You failed—I mean, you and Adam actually failed?"
The Celestial Master laughed and said, "Our opponents are the old ones, and all plans against them are fraught with uncertainty. Who told you that we would definitely succeed?"
He said seriously, "Even when our respective powers are at their peak, our actions against the gods often fail, and sometimes we even fall into their traps."
"The struggle against the old is inherently a very dangerous and brutal battle."
Odis scratched his head and said, "That's not what I meant. I just thought you must have planned this for a long time, but I didn't expect that such a meticulous plan of yours would fail."
D"
The Celestial Master said, "Do not underestimate your opponent, nor overestimate your own abilities."
Odis nodded, indicating that he understood.
Then he realized that although they had failed, their results were still quite good; firstly, they had obtained this item.
It is a level-one sealed artifact, and secondly, it weakens the influence of the "Mother Tree of Desire" on the real world.
This provides a very favorable premise for the subsequent crackdown on the "Rose School".
After the Celestial Master returned to the "Sage Time" space, Odis began to sort through the spoils of this expedition.
He first took the "Brass Book of Trensost" in his hand, and was about to use the power of the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to seal it when he suddenly realized that there seemed to be a consciousness in this sealed object, wanting to talk to Odis.
This startled Odis for a moment, and then he realized that he had not touched the sealed object before, but had let it float around him.
This was the first time he had ever held it in his hand.
Odis then extended her spirituality to connect with that consciousness.
In an instant, Odis heard a voice: "Great 'Sage,' I am Trensost, please help me to rise from the dead."
