Chapter 163 The Essence of the Gods
Chapter 163
In a dreamy space, the void ripples gently like water waves, and a faint golden glow fills the air all around, like twinkling stars, making the entire space look dreamy.
Lin En stood in the empty sea of stars, with the mysterious Qi beside him.
The powerful alien creature stood with his chest folded, his figure looking particularly solemn and dignified in the golden light, like a god overlooking the world.
In front of the two of them, a golden scale was suspended in the air, slowly rotating and releasing extremely pure power fluctuations, as if declaring the highest fairness and equality.
Lin En stared at the scale in a daze, his heart in turmoil, and after a long while he slowly spoke.
[Help me improve my spiritual power? Accumulate energy for the spirit of the blue sky? There are actually these contents in the contract? ]
He couldn't help but turn his head and look at Qi beside him, his brows slightly frowned, his eyes full of surprise and disbelief.
All this was really beyond his expectations.
Lin En originally thought that the biggest benefit of this contract was that it would free him from Qi's threat.
From now on, he no longer had to live in fear all day, worrying that this terrifying alien creature would suddenly appear in front of him and kill him with a cold finger.
But now, Qi actually said that he would help him improve his mental strength and recharge the spirit of the blue sky? Lin En's mind was full of thoughts, and he couldn't believe that he could actually benefit from this "tyrannical contract" that he was forced to sign.
At this moment, he even had an absurd illusion that he was in an illusory dream and couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to him.
Qi's eyes were cold, his voice was calm yet majestic, and he looked down on everything like a judge.
[Everything is written down in the contract. As the contract is finalized, the contents of the contract are already in our memory and can be viewed at any time.]
Lin En was silent for a moment, and his mind couldn't help but recall the scene when the contract was signed.
In fact, he had tried to look at the contents of the contract, but those pages were filled with densely packed strange runes, which seemed to contain unspeakable power and could not be deciphered at all.
If he had not seen the words "Both parties shall not harm each other" clearly marked at the bottom of the contract, he would never have signed this incomprehensible contract under such circumstances.
After all, who can be assured if they can't even understand the contents of the contract? Qi seemed to sense what Lin En was thinking, and added lightly: [Follow the supreme power of fairness and justice, you can slowly check the contents of the contract, and as time goes by, you will gradually understand everything. ]
Lin En was slightly startled, and ripples appeared in his heart.
The balance scale symbolizes the supreme power of equality, and when talking about equality, it is natural to ensure that both parties can understand the contents of the contract.
Even creatures from different worlds, with different languages and cultures, can understand the true meaning through the power of the scales.
However, Lin En was not familiar with the power of the scales and had no idea that it had such a miraculous effect.
After Qi's enlightenment, he had an idea and thought that maybe he could take a look at the contents when he has time.
Lin En secretly thought that if he could gradually interpret the true meaning of the contract, he might be able to further understand Qi's true intentions.
But right now, what he was most concerned about was the matter that Qi mentioned earlier.
That is to enhance his spiritual power and recharge the spirit of the blue sky.
Lin En stared at the alien creature Qi in front of him, pursed his lips slightly, and his eyes were steady and calm.
In this dreamlike space, there was a faint golden glow all around, and spots of light floated in the void like stars, making De Qi's figure even more mysterious and solemn.
Lin En glanced around, his mind full of thoughts.
He still remembered that in [Landscape], there was a mysterious item as powerful as the "God's Blood Pill" in the golden scale.
This time, the other party wanted to help him improve his spiritual power. Could there be a similar treasure? Thinking of this, Lin En couldn't help but feel a little moved, and asked tentatively: [You said before that you wanted to charge the spirit of the blue sky and improve my spiritual power. What do you want to do? ]
Qi did not directly answer Lin En's question. Instead, he spoke slowly in a low and cold voice:
[Do you know the gods? Do you know the civilization of the gods? ]
These were just two simple questions, but when Qi asked them, there was obviously a reason behind them.
Lin En's eyes narrowed slightly, and he did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.
Gods, this word is not unfamiliar.
The world he is in now is an expedition world transformed by the civilization of the gods.
The members of the Star Hunters that he had faced before were the followers of the Goddess of the Demonic Net in the civilization of the gods.
However, when Qi asked this question, it was obviously not a general question.
Moreover, although these two questions are similar on the surface, there are essential differences when you think about it carefully.
"Gods, that should be the supreme being that rules the civilization of gods."
Lin En analyzed secretly, his eyes becoming more and more serious.
"Just like wizards are to wizard civilization, gods are the core of gods civilization. And gods civilization is a huge system that can compete with wizard civilization."
Even as he was lost in thought, Qi's gaze remained on Lynn's face, as if examining the ups and downs of his heart.
Seeing Lin En's thoughtful expression, Qi raised a faint smile and said slowly: [The core of the gods' civilization is actually the gods. Roughly speaking, the gods' civilization is actually composed of the kingdoms of gods one after another. ]
Hearing this answer, Lin En's eyes lit up slightly, and he suddenly understood something.
"The core of the gods' civilization is the gods. With the gods as the leaders, they govern countless kingdoms of gods and unite to form a huge civilization system."
"Wizard civilization is completely different. Its core lies in the growth of individual wizards and the accumulation of knowledge."
Wizarding civilization does not have absolute gods or rulers, and even the Wizarding Council is just a concentration of academic knowledge and power.
Wizards started out as weak mortals, and with their mastery of knowledge and rules, they climbed to the top step by step, until they surpassed the gods.
The civilization of gods is completely the opposite. Gods are born powerful, possessing divinity and power. They rely on the kingdom of God and faith to establish an immortal authority and divine power system.
Lynn gradually had a clear understanding in his mind.
"The two civilizations are completely opposite poles."
"One is from bottom to top, from mortals gradually evolving to gods; the other is from top to bottom, with gods controlling believers and the kingdom of God."
Realizing this, Lynn couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Why are you telling me this now?"
"Is it possible that the enhancement of spiritual power and the charging of the Azure Sky Spirit is related to the civilization of the gods?"
Qi still stared at Lin En indifferently without saying anything more, as if waiting for Lin En to digest this information.
The space was still filled with a dreamlike glow, and the golden scales were suspended in the void, like a sacred symbol of eternity.
Lin En stared at Qi intently, with complicated thoughts churning in his mind.
Sure enough, before he could fully sort out his thoughts, Qi spoke slowly, his voice calm but with a hint of coldness.
[The gods nurtured countless planes of the world, transformed them, and eventually pulled them into the Kingdom of the Universe, becoming a part of the Kingdom of the Universe.]
[The creatures in those planes will become believers of the gods, and at the same time, they will also be the nourishment for the gods' ever-increasing power. ]
[The faith of the believers is the secret, and at the same time, it is also our goal. ]
After listening to this, Lin En frowned slightly. Instead of feeling enlightened, he became even more confused.
"I know that the faith of believers can provide a source of power for the gods."
"But the problem is, faith and believers are areas that only gods can reach."
Lin En's mind raced, and he felt that something was wrong.
"Qi said he wanted to help me improve my spiritual power. Does that mean he wants to attack believers and their faith?"
"But I don't have any believers, and it's even more impossible for me to use the power of faith to enhance my strength like the gods do."
"What's more, does the charging of the Blue Sky Spirit also require the power of faith?"
Thinking of this, Lin En's heart rippled and his eyes flickered slightly.
The Spirit of the Blue Sky is an inestimably precious treasure in the wizarding world. It comes from the holy land of natural wizards - the Natural Divine Dynasty.
What is the connection between this treasure and faith? Could it be that the spirit of the blue sky can have an effect on the faith of believers? "No... Isn't this thing a natural wizard's thing?"
"How is it related to the power of faith?"
Just as Lin En was puzzled, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind.
He suddenly remembered that when he met the great wizard Yode, he had heard him mention the origin of natural wizards.
"Natural wizards seem to be related to a god from the Gods Civilization..."
"Could it be that the spirit of the blue sky..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Lin En's expression suddenly changed, and an indescribable shock surged in his heart.
Qi seemed to notice his change. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of mystery.
He said slowly:
[Dealing with faith requires divine nature, and divine nature also requires the power of faith. 】
Hearing this, Lin En's pupils suddenly shrank, and a huge wave of emotion suddenly rose in his heart.
"Could it be that the Spirit of the Blue Sky is actually the divine nature of a god?!"
The thought flashed through his mind, but the next moment, he felt something was wrong.
Although the Spirit of the Blue Sky is powerful, it has never displayed any godlike qualities.
Qi glanced at Lin En calmly, as if he saw through his inner speculation, and slowly explained: [The Blue Sky Spirit is not a godhead, or rather, it is not completely a godhead. But it is still possible to use the Blue Sky Spirit to process the power of faith. ]
[At that time, you can accumulate power for the Blue Sky Spirit and improve your mental strength at the same time. ]
After listening to Qi's explanation, Lin En remained silent for a long time, his mind churning with thoughts like the tide.
The amount of information he received today was simply too much.
Whether it was the revelation of the essence of the gods' civilization, the mysterious use of the power of faith, or the spirit of the blue sky that was closely related to the origin of natural wizards, all of them made his heart excited.
All the clues seemed to be connected into a complex and huge web, trapping him in it and making it impossible for him to escape.
"These contents really need time to slowly digest and absorb..."
Lynn took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
However, Qi obviously did not intend to give him such an opportunity.
Just as Lin En was thinking for a moment, Qi suddenly moved, his robe fluttering, and his steps were steady and graceful, as he walked towards the other end of the golden scale.
The jade-like slender fingers drew a smooth and round arc in the air, as if outlining a circle out of thin air.
In an instant, a brilliant golden light suddenly burst out from the golden scale, pouring down like a waterfall and converging into the circle.
Buzz! As the space trembled slightly, the circle turned into a golden door of light, which slowly opened, revealing a brilliant light.
Through the light gate, Lin En saw a magnificent and ancient palace.
It was an unroofed circular building, magnificent and solemn, with a broad central patio in the center, like an altar under the sky.
This palace is not luxurious, and gold and silver decorations are rare, but the thick stone pillars and intricate patterns demonstrate its unique grandeur.
Above the patio, various ancient runes and mysterious patterns are carved.
Even at night, the temple is still crowded with people. Church members in blue and white robes are either worshipping solemnly or gathering in the patio, gazing at the stars.
The starlight is shining brightly, flowing above it.
The starry sky, like bright gems inlaid in the night sky, is one of the symbols of Mystra, the goddess of the magic network.
For members of the church, the night sky is sacred and inviolable because the symbol of the goddess is a blue and white star.
Therefore, they often gather here at night, look up at the boundless sea of stars with a pious heart, and pray for blessings from the goddess.
However, in this sacred and solemn atmosphere, suddenly, a golden light gate appeared in the center of the central patio, abrupt and strange.
The golden ripples spread like water waves, impacting every corner of the hall, as if tearing apart the quiet night sky.
A unique and discordant force spread out, filling the entire hall.
Boom! The Temple of Mystra seemed to sense this strange invasion.
Instantly, a powerful and majestic wave of expulsion was released, like the wrath of a goddess, revealing disgust and rejection without any concealment.
The faces of the clergy around the hall suddenly changed, their expressions were horrified and angry, and their voices echoed in the air.
"Evil wizard!"
"The evil wizard has defiled the goddess' temple!"
At the same time, as the temple's reaction fluctuated, the person in charge of this branch temple was punished.
A powerful seventh-ring wizard, leading several fifth-ring and sixth-ring wizards, quickly rushed into the central patio.
They looked solemn, with anger and determination flashing in their eyes.
"In addition to the evil wizard, there is also the aura of a blasphemer!"
"Damn it! How dare you trespass into the goddess's palace? You're really courting death!"
"Activate the temple formation and purify these evil people!"
The mages quickly set up a complex magic array. Strong magical fluctuations filled the air, spreading in all directions like invisible ripples.
Although these wizards broke in here, they were not at all panicked, but full of confidence.
After all, this is the temple of the goddess, protected by the power of the goddess, and any blasphemer will suffer the most terrible purification and punishment.
At the same time, in the patio located in the very center of the temple, there were golden ripples rippling.
Accompanied by brilliant golden light, Qi, wearing a maple leaf robe, stepped out and officially stood in the temple of Mystra, the goddess of the magic net.
Following closely behind was Lin En, who had put on the somewhat worn Grey Eagle Armor.
However, as soon as the Grey Eagle Armor was opened, data after data appeared in Lin En's eyes.
"Seven-ring Mage", "Six-ring Mage", "Five-ring Mage"...
You know, a seven-ring wizard is a powerful person who is equivalent to a peak level two wizard. He is only one step away from breaking through to the level three wizard!
If Lin En had encountered this situation alone, surrounded by so many terrifying wizards, he would have definitely activated the Starfall Shoes to escape.
But at this moment, Lynn's eyes fell on Qi, who was wearing a maple leaf robe.
