I have two principles as a human being:
1. Never lie.
2. Never believe anything anyone says, including myself.
“Sir, I must point out that your second principle contradicts the ...
Everyone present was stunned.
This scene was so unbelievable that they had to admire the Tower of Reason and Matter's various ingenious ideas and cunning methods in studying gods and divinity.
“These gossamer-like things are…divinity?”
To be honest, this was the first time that Cheng Shi saw a divine state beyond the light. Morabik nodded, slightly raised the Abyss Color Crystal in his hand, and signaled to his companion with his eyes that it was their turn to take action.
The leader of this experiment was obviously not Morabik who cut open the ore pocket, but Alan Doyle who had been standing aside without saying much. His expression was complicated, but after looking around, he resigned himself to his fate and walked over.
As Morabik said, they had no choice.
With a serious look on his face, he took Zaingil's finger and began to drive the power in the finger, turning it into a thin line that was far thinner than the divine filament. He tentatively reached down into the mist to sense and peel off the entangled divinity.
Allen Doyle had a serious expression and said nothing while operating. Morabik, on the other hand, looked more like a scholar of truth than a wise man of stupidity. At this moment, as the "experimental scaffold", he patiently and seriously explained to everyone:
“When the existence of the Abyss Crystal was first discovered, the Creation Alchemy Department tried various methods to approach the divinity within. However, divinity is holy and cannot tolerate any contamination from the filth of the mortal world. Once any ordinary power enters the mist, the divinity will instantly disintegrate and turn into real dust.
So don't think that Alan Doyle can send the "tool for stripping divinity" in so easily now. Just for this step, the Tower of Matter has been exploring for more than a hundred years.
Until one day, some scholars learned that Zaingil had completed the Star Dagger experiment and was stealing their authority. At that time, the scholars in the team came up with a bold idea. They set their sights on Zaingil himself. After waiting for many years, until Zaingil turned into the Hanged Man of Doom due to backlash, our fathers took action.
By then, Zainjil was no longer a mortal. Under the catalysis and tempering of authority, he was almost infinitely close to "Him". However, an accident eventually occurred in that experiment. What was a disaster for the Star Dagger was a one in a million chance for us.
So they bypassed the supervision of the Erudite Presidency, opened the door to the Star Dagger, and almost lost the life of an entire team before they cut off a piece of Zainjir's finger.
But who would have thought that their initial plan was not to take this small piece of finger, but Zaingil’s entire arm…”
Morabik's memories were also full of sighs. He sneered, as if he was laughing at his fathers' arrogance, but it was also as if he was laughing at himself, laughing at the fact that he would never have the chance to perform the same glorious feats as his fathers.
"They miscalculated. No matter how weak the Hanged Man was, he was still a being beyond the status of a mortal. Without any help or support from the Erudite President, they could not do anything to Zaingir. So they took the finger and retreated.
However, it was too difficult to complete the operation that should have been done with one arm with the strength of fingers alone, so they wasted a long time in taming the power of fingers.
During this period, they were exiled underground with nowhere to go, but the experiments continued, until... we took over the experiment and repeated it for decades, before we finally saw hope.
Alan Doyle is a fool in interpersonal relationships though….”
Before he finished speaking, the scalpel in Cheng Shi's hand trembled. He was afraid that this untimely contempt would interfere with the operation of the experiment, but Alan Doyle's hands were very steady and his state was extremely stable. He seemed to block out all sounds from the outside world, and his whole body and mind were immersed in stripping away divinity.
“But he is a genius in divine research and practice, a genius who is no less talented than our fathers!
He successfully researched a method to extract divinity, opened up all the links of the experiment, and stripped a small part of divinity from the last piece of Abyss Crystal in our hands. However, we did not have any conditions to store divinity at that time, so we let the extremely precious divinity dissipate in the wind...
Now, we have designed experimental equipment to store divinity. I believe that with the help of all of you... adults, we will have enough resources and conditions to refine a large amount of divinity!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Alan Doyle over there suddenly reacted. His whole body suddenly trembled, and then his face was as dark as ink and he sighed:
“Failed.”
“???” Cheng Shi was stunned. Didn’t your brother brag to us for a long time about how awesome you were, and you failed right after he finished bragging?
You didn't mean to hit him in the face on purpose?
But wouldn’t it hurt more if this slap were on my own face?
But soon, without waiting for the other party to explain, Cheng Shi discovered the reason. The two wise men seemed to be a little too tired. Their spirits were obviously a little weak after the long journey and the fright.
This time he realized that he had not thought it through. Cheng Shi curled his lips and casually used mental magic to hit the two of them.
Alan Doyle was shocked, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes again. It seemed that he wanted to try again, but this time Cheng Shi rejected him.
“Forget it, there is no need to waste time at this moment. After we deal with Arad and take ownership of the mine, we will have more time to deal with these Abyss Crystals.
What do you think, both of you? "
Of course, Cheng Shi’s question was not directed at the two wise men, but at the two fire bearers on the scene. Qin Xin and the blind man also felt that it was enough to know that the extraction experiment was feasible at the moment, and they were not in a hurry to get the first batch of divinity here before more resources were "deposited".
So the blind man nodded and looked at Alan Doyle's hand again.
Although this wise man failed, the so-called failure did not seem to be in vain. He had clearly extracted a small part of divinity in his hands, and this divinity seemed... a little familiar.
“It was the messy and useless divinity of the Wild God. I sensed the divinity of [Death], [Decay], and [Order] contained in it, but I was too tired to separate them out. I only extracted this small piece of the divinity of the Wild God.
But believe me, I can extract the divinity now. It won’t take long. It only takes one night.”
"......"
"......"
"......"
The three people at the scene fell silent again. This was not because they felt that the time was too long, but because of the divinity of the wild god that the other party was talking about...
But he is not a wild god at all!
This is clearly the divinity of [Silence]!
Cheng Shi's pupils suddenly shrank and his face changed drastically. It was strange, how come in the middle of the civilized era, when even [Stupidity] was still just a budding believer, the divinity of [Silence] had actually been... compressed into ore?
What is going on?
