Chapter 208 Decoding

On my way back from the Secret Garden Club Salon, I was thinking about the feasibility of collecting intelligence on Gali.

Directly using the little spiritual connection between me and Gali to perceive is undoubtedly a suicidal act.

Soon, I remembered the almost forgotten notebook I brought out from the ruins of the Apocalypse Sect laboratory.

Back then, I relied on it and Morse code to find four scattered relics of Gali's power, and initially absorbed those fragments, which allowed me to walk step by step to where I am today.

The power of the ruins had long been drained away. The large amount of experimental data on the "artificial container" and the contents recorded in ancient divine characters at the back of the notes were too much for me to delve into due to my lack of ability and turbulent mind at the time.

Morse code hasn't appeared for a long time. I don't know if it's because the Zhou Tian worsened and my parents can't contact me, or if something else happened.

I was a little worried, but I didn't have the energy to delve into it.

But right now, I can't keep counting on Morse code prompts.

Now, it's time to open it again.

Late at night, in the stillness of the room, I set up a simple illusory isolation barrier around my office, and then carefully spread the notebook that smelled of old paper on the table.

Under the influence of the illusory barrier, the light in the room occasionally refracted distorted light and shadows, shining on the yellowed pages and the frantic handwriting and charts.

I skipped over the places where the relics were recorded and my eyes fell on the uncomfortable content at the back.

The experimental data of "artificial containers" takes up a lot of space.

The previous chapters recorded in detail how to select living beings with specific spiritual potential, how to use drugs and rituals to destroy their will, and how to use fragments of Gali's power to erode and transform their flesh and soul step by step, trying to forge them into a "perfect vessel" that can carry the arrival of the old gods.

Countless cases of failure were recorded coldly: mental collapse, physical melting, energy backlash, transformation into twisted monsters... The words were filled with an inhuman, fanatical calmness that was sickening.

I forced myself to quickly scan the data, searching for any potentially useful information. Soon, I noticed that nearly all experimental records repeatedly emphasized one parameter: the "spiritual resonance threshold."

The experimental subject must reach a certain frequency of mental fluctuations in order to achieve initial resonance with Gali's power rather than being directly destroyed.

This threshold... doesn't seem fixed. Several vague notations in the corners of the notes relate this threshold to "the tide of illusory images deep within the earth's ley lines" and "the length of shadows during planetary motion." These terms are obscure, but they hint at some kind of cyclical natural phenomenon.

This reminded me of the second divine descent ceremony, when the people from the "Apocalypse Sect" seemed very eager, as if they were afraid of missing out on something.

Now that I think about it, it should have been at this point in time.

Turning the page again, there was a long paragraph of text written in the language of ancient gods. This kind of text was twisted and weird, and every symbol seemed to be constantly wriggling. Looking at it for a long time would even make your consciousness feel torn.

Although I could recognize these words before, because I could understand them, I couldn’t look at them for a long time.

But now, as my grasp of illusory authority deepens and I become more familiar with the source of Gali's power, although the content of these texts is still uncomfortable, it is within my tolerance range.

I concentrated my mind and began to carefully read the contents of the written records.

"…when the stars sink into the mirrored abyss, when the veil of reality becomes thinnest…"

"...stolen fragments of time resonate here, and the false crown seeks His forehead..."

"...The tide surges, and the ancient pupils are about to open, reflecting the end of all things..."

Fragmented phrases, brimming with metaphors and symbols, struggled to piece them together and decipher them. Cold sweat dripped down my forehead, and my brain felt a tingling pain like needles. This wasn't just reading; it felt like a mental struggle.

What does "Mirror Abyss" refer to? Is it some special astronomical phenomenon? Or a specific state of space?

“The veil of reality is the thinnest”…

Is this related to the lowering of the “spiritual resonance threshold” mentioned in previous notes or the “shadow of planetary movement”?

Could the "stolen fragments of time" refer to the fragments of Gali's power collected by the Apocalypse Cult and used to create vessels? They resonate at specific moments?

Does “the crown of vanity” refer to a “man-made vessel”? Or does it refer to something else?

“Tide”…is it energy tide?

But the "ancient pupil" undoubtedly refers to Gali!

After reading for a while, I had to stop temporarily due to the mental burden. If I didn't recognize this language, it wouldn't have had too strong an impact. The ancient divine characters themselves are not polluting, but the content recorded in them is a bit overwhelming.

I don't know under what conditions the Apocalypse Sect recorded this. Did they simply imitate the handwriting without knowing what it meant? Or was there someone more powerful?

If it is the latter, then it is most likely An Xiaowei.

If it is the former, then I can only say that the stubbornness and IQ of the Apocalypse Sect are indeed worrying.

After complaining in my mind, my mental state improved a little. I didn't continue to look at the notes, but instead verified these fragmented information with the changes in the "spiritual resonance threshold" in the experimental data and the "dramatic intensification of awakening signs" warned by the Secret Garden.

A terrifying conclusion gradually became clear in my mind:

Gali's awakening is not a gradual process at a steady pace, but will usher in a rapid and explosive acceleration at a certain point in time when certain conditions at the cosmic or spatial level are met.

At that moment, the "veil of reality" will become the thinnest, and the "spiritual resonance threshold" will drop to the lowest, which will not only be conducive to the completion of the "container", but also conducive to Gali himself tearing the dormant seal and fully projecting His power into the real world!

I flipped to the last few pages of my notebook, where there were more chaotic, seemingly hastily written calculations and fragments of star charts. I tried to understand these charts using the few keywords I had just deciphered.

That wasn't an ordinary star map. The symbols on it were a direct descendant of the ancient divine language, and the angles calculated involved the curvature of space and the frequency of some incomprehensible energy fluctuations...

My eyes were fixed on several time coordinates that I had repeatedly checked, and I painstakingly converted them to the current calendar I knew...

Fortunately, I had read widely before and learned a little bit of everything. After converting the result, my eyes widened slightly.

Cold sweat instantly soaked my back.

According to these incomplete calculations, at that moment when "the veil was thinnest" and "the tide surged"...

Just three days later!
