Chapter 7026 Suggestions
The virtual world of history was recreated in Heopolis, inside a huge pyramid.
Inside the giant pyramid, surrounded by countless murals and inscriptions, on the altar above the abyss, at this moment, the remnant of "Enlightenment" from a distant era, the divine sage Viageta, is giving up her spirituality in a burst of light, and her withered body is gradually disintegrating in the process.
"Wait a moment, you just said that this holy land is where your divinity as the Judge of Heaven is hidden deep in history. So after you're gone, won't this place collapse?" Looking at Viageta who was gradually disappearing in front of her, Dorothy, who was standing in front of her, spoke bluntly, and Viageta's voice in response also echoed in the space.
"That won't be the case. Although I am gone, the rituals I left behind are still here. The spiritual energy stored in this holy land is enough to supply the rituals and continue to maintain the holy land."
Viageta responded to Dorothy's question, and Dorothy spoke again after a slight pause.
"Then if I take the divinity with me, does that mean the Holy Land will have to return to reality and will never be able to return to history again?"
"It doesn't... need divine support. It is the most critical recording ceremony. Since the ceremony has been successfully performed, the sanctuary can be freely manifested in the real world or recovered into the virtual history under the control of the divine holder. However, without divine support, it cannot function normally. And...
"To fully control this sanctuary, you not only need to possess divinity, but also need to truly reach the Protoform Realm. The gift I give you will only allow you to freely use divinity for a short period of time. During this period, you can materialize the sanctuary to help you repel powerful enemies. If there is still time left for the gift, you can also choose to hide the sanctuary again.
“But if you do this, after my gift is over, you will not be able to contact the Holy Land again... Because the divine master’s divinity is missing in the Holy Land, and there is no one from the Prototype Realm to preside over it, all abilities in the Holy Land will fall into a dormant state, including the entire virtual history. Unless you finally reach the Prototype Realm and return here with the divine master’s divinity, the entire Holy Land will be yours..."
Viageta explained to Dorothy in detail about the issues between the divinity of the Judge of Heaven and the Sanctuary. After listening, Dorothy understood what she meant.
'That is to say... once Viageta disappears and her gift to me ends, the strange and extraordinary power of the virtual world in Sanbusa Sanbusarit will completely disappear, and I will no longer be able to create or enter the virtual world in Busarit. Unless I become real gold and return here with divinity...'
Dorothy nodded silently after understanding what Viageta meant, and then continued to speak.
"Then I want to ask you another question. Since I am now the designated successor of the Judge of Heaven, will the four pharaohs outside recognize me? Will they think that I am your successor... or even the successor of the Judge of Heaven in the future?"
After listening to Dorothy's words, Viageta seemed to be silent for a moment, and then continued.
"This question... is actually hard to explain. The only one who can clearly know that you are the successor chosen by the Divine Master... is me, who has clearly received the Divine Master's oracle. As for the information about the foresighted people, they actually don't know. They don't understand that the Divine Master had already designated his successor before his death, instead of planning to revive himself.
“Among them, there are some people who still hope that the Divine Master will be resurrected and return after a long time since his demise. They will definitely accept the Divine Master’s return, but they may not necessarily accept the Divine Master’s successor ascending to the throne… because this means that the Divine Master has completely disappeared, so their degree of acceptance of you is actually an unknown…” Viajeta said silently to Dorothy. After listening to Viajeta’s words, Dorothy paused for a moment, and then spoke bluntly.
"Then can't you help me explain it? Say that I am the legitimate heir... If you can't explain it, at least give me something to prove my identity or something."
"You've thought too much about this. Even if I explain it to them directly, they probably won't listen to me. After all, they themselves have not received the oracle from the Divine Master. If I say that the Divine Master has completely fallen and will never come back, and you should serve the new successor, they probably will not only not believe it, but will also question what conspiracy I am plotting..." Viajeta continued to explain to Dorothy. After listening to Viajeta's words, Dorothy frowned and spoke again.
"So, the problem is that the Judge of Heaven only gave the oracle about the foresighted person to you alone? Then why did He do this and only gave such a crucial oracle to you?"
"Regarding this, I have no idea what the Master has considered... Apart from me, the Master is not willing to tell more people about his plans. It seems that He does not want more beings to know that He has chosen a successor in the distant past, except for me who is hiding in the depths of history...
"Apart from me, the only one who could have noticed this was probably Shepsuna, 'Bright Light of Wisdom'. The Divine Master seemed to have given her, who was very sensitive to us, some revelations, allowing her to know some outlines of His intentions, but that was only the outlines. Shepsuna was far less clear about the specific content of the oracle than I was." Viageta continued to talk to Dorothy. After listening to her words, Dorothy thought for a while and then responded.
"Are the four pharaohs more looking forward to the return of Judge of Heaven than to the emergence of an heir? What about you? Don't you hope that Judge of Heaven will be revived again? Are you really willing to give this divinity directly to me... instead of trying to use it to revive Judge of Heaven?" Dorothy asked Viageta. After hearing Dorothy's questions, Viageta fell silent for a while before answering.
"I... naturally also hope that the Master can return. But... the Master once said in the oracle he gave me that after His death, He will never be revived again. After this, if there is any existence that claims to be Him and tells me that He will come again, it is unbelievable... Any Him that appears after His death is hypocritical and blasphemous... The Master warned me not to try any form of means to revive Him. Even if the revival is successful, it will no longer be Him when it comes back..."
"No longer He..." Dorothy couldn't help but frown and whispered after listening to Viageta's words. Just as Dorothy continued to think about what Viageta meant by that words, Viageta spoke again.
"After this, I think it is inevitable that you and my old colleagues will have various intersections. Here I have some suggestions for you on how to get in touch with them."
"Suggestions... I'm all ears." Dorothy said bluntly after listening to Viageta's words, and Viageta's voice continued to sound.
"Among the four of them, the one you should consider contacting first is Shepsuna. She is the only female among the sage kings of the Holy Dynasty besides me, and she is also the pinnacle of the path that was once foreseen. I have said before that she has glimpsed the outline of the future and can roughly understand the will of the Divine Master to a certain extent. She is the person closest to the Divine Master besides me, and the person who respects the Divine Master's will the most besides me. If she can correctly judge the Divine Master's will, then she will be more receptive to you than the other three, but you must be careful and cautious during the contact process to avoid misunderstandings.
"The second is Setut. He was the master of the Way of Howling in the past. He has the characteristics of the branch paths he once mastered. Setut is the one with the most stable and amiable personality among us. He is also the one who pays the most attention and care to ordinary mortals. The country he ruled was the most dynamic one among the countries of the Holy Dynasty. I estimate that even if he becomes a spirit, he will not stay in the mausoleum all the time, but will travel everywhere, so he will probably have a better understanding of the changes of the times. You may talk to him more.
"Then there is Taharka, who was once the pinnacle of the Path of the Silken Silk... He is the one among us who pays the least attention to mortals. He has a strong desire to rule, and once manipulated his country and countless citizens like puppets. He is an excellent ruler, but also a ruthless ruler. The country he ruled was once the most powerful and the most indifferent among the countries of the Holy Dynasty. He is obsessed with collecting all kinds of subordinates, whether they are of the same race or different races. He always likes to rule and control others, making them sincerely loyal to him. Taharka is very arrogant... Even my orders sometimes don't listen. Except for the Divine Master, no one can really make him loyal and submit, so you must be extremely careful when you come into contact with him, he probably won't recognize you..."
Viageta spoke slowly, and Dorothy was carefully recording what Viageta said in her mind. After she finished talking about three people, she paused for a moment before talking about the fourth person.
"Finally... it's Hafdar. He should be the most difficult one for you to deal with... or the one you can't deal with at all. He was once the leader of the Path of the Gods, and was also the one among us who pursued academics and extraordinary research the most deeply, the most persistently, and the one with the highest talent and achievements. But he is also a stubborn and paranoid person. Although he is a genius, he is very likely to be stubborn and extreme in his emotions. It was him who researched and created the ritual that allowed the four of them to enter the spiritual transformation. Because of this character and talent, he was also the one who caused the most unpredictable situation in these long years.
"Hafdar regards the Divine Master as his only teacher and the source of wisdom he pursues forever. It is almost impossible for him to give up his faith in the Divine Master. Even if I personally persuade him, it will probably have no effect. Therefore, he is the person who is least likely to accept you. You'd better not contact him easily..."
Viageta said this to Dorothy in a disembodied voice, and at this moment her body, which was sitting on the seat, had dissipated almost completely, with only a small part of the head left.
Listening to Viageta's words, Dorothy nodded silently after taking note of everything. She looked at Viageta who was about to disappear, and finally asked.
"Then... Finally, I want to ask you a question. Do you expect me to become the second Judge of Heaven in the future?"
Dorothy looked at Viageta and said this with a serious look, while Viageta, whose head had completely disappeared, spoke in the last echo.
"About this... I don't know much either. I hope you can become the second Divine Master, but I don't want to see you follow the old path of the Divine Master...
"I can't answer your question, because I can't see the destiny beyond this moment, and I can't give any reference... So, believe in your own choice, the one who foresees."
Viageta's words echoed leisurely in the vast and empty sacrificial hall inside the pyramid, and then disappeared completely as the volume slowly decreased. On her original seat, only a limp robe and a small purple ball of light suspended in the air were left.
"Goodbye...teacher."
Looking at the scene in front of her, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as Dorothy was about to stretch out her hand and touch the suspended ball of light, the last sound of Viageta's words rang out in the space.
"Finally... I want to say one thing. I don't know if it's fate, but among those people you brought with you through this piece of history, one is my descendant. If possible, please take good care of her..."
"What?" Dorothy couldn't help but frown as she listened to Viageta's words. A familiar face appeared in her mind.
…
Time goes back to normal time. In the desert of Buserit, a city from ancient times is now appearing under the dark clouds in the night. Above this ancient city, Dorothy, wearing Viageta's robe, is now flying above it. She has just driven away the enemy and is recalling her last conversation with Viageta not long ago.
And now, above the streets of the ancient city of the Holy Land, several gazes were cast up to the sky, fixed firmly on Dorothy. The owners of these gazes were the four pharaohs who had fought with Yunina before and were seriously injured. They stared closely at Dorothy in the sky, and some of them were even a little excited.
"Won? The disgusting smell has gone away... Did Viageta win?"
"It seems so... But now the question is, is that Viageta? I always feel something is wrong."
"Hey! Shepsuna! Hurry up and say something, is that Viageta? You can change back to your original appearance because she used the legacy of the divine master to restore you!"
When several pharaohs were confused, Hafdal was the first to speak loudly to Shepsuna on the other side. In his eyes, Shepsuna must be able to know the current situation in more detail.
“…”
Facing Hafdal's question, Shepsuna, who was still maintaining her human posture, was standing there quietly, staring at the sky without moving, and remained silent. She did not directly answer Hafdal's question. Seeing this scene, Hafdal could not help but snorted in disdain.
