Chapter 91: Transforming the Truth
Chapter 91: Transforming the Truth
In the Cafe.
Shen Yi sitting by the window was deep in his thoughts.
After getting from the dream world he monitored the library through ‘Book of Ten Travellers’ and as soon as Byron left after putting his knowledge he went on and retrieved the book.
The knowledge Byron compiled into the book was stored in the form of his memory.
Shen Yi recalled the forbidden knowledge he had read in the book.
It was both deciphered and profound.
At this moment his thoughts were little complicated, because he thought his thought were little nonsensical, now the truth was in front of him, the two pieces of knowledge he randomly given from “Prosperous Journey” and “Equality of Things”, was turned into powerful and twisted forbidden knowledge of “Beyond the Bondage” and “Unity of All Things”…
In case ordinary people were to hear this name, they would be driven into madness endlessly, and those below the distortion level would die on the spot by simply glancing at the contents, even if they survived what lay ahead for them was to become monsters.
It was a real taboo.
Only disaster-level occultists, such as Byron’s level could learn the content. Even if they did, they always have to be vigilant against being misled and seduced by taboo knowledge.“It is really worthy of being forbidden knowledge from Extraterrestrial god. It is full of indescribable knowledge. Its very existence itself is incomparably harmful for normal people.”
After reading all the content, he didn’t have any adverse reactions, perhaps because of his own special characteristics.
Now he became more clear and could confirm several very important things.
Firstly, after he is summoned, he will emit a strong aura of extraterrestrial God. Secondly, his self in the eyes of the summoner is not his real self but an “alien version” possessing an appearance that is almost like that of extraterrestrial God.
Second, the things he gives out in the summoning site will be transformed accordingly to respective gods things!
After a long silence he muttered to himself: “This seems to be the case, so in future I don’t have to be so panicked in the site.”
After discovering that his self in the dream had a different version not his real image he portrayed, he associated it with the bestowed object and thought it would be transformed, but felt that it was a bit too outrageous.
Any apple or poem could be transformed into a real mystical item, and this kind of thing didn’t seem plausible no matter how he thought about it.
But again if he thought it carefully.
The Byron’s initial aloofness had changed, and he really treated him with immense respect and honor, he even resurrect his dead daughter!
At the time Shen Yi also marveled at Byron’s succession of resurrecting the dead and felt this world occult things were so great and could do things that couldn’t be possible at all.
It was only after supplementing the occult knowledge from the Yare’s soul ball, he knew the human wizards to resurrect the dead was completely impossible, unless they seek relevant knowledge and power from extraterrestrial God!
Now putting these two information together, it was after he summoned him he gained relevant knowledge and resurrect his daughter.
As for the witch she summoned him to ask a weapon to gave it to Light Chaser Saint Flo to attack pseudo god. He also blurred it out and gave out the ordinary kitchen knife.
But after careful consideration, the witch didn’t come to settle the score with him for this spam.
It slowly became more and more bizarre to Shen Yi, and he gradually improved the conjecture. So he decided to do an experiment, by using an apple.
The experiment was very simple. During the summoning he would give Chaos Ember Order the most ordinary fresh apple, a few days later he will ask Aina again as an envoy.
“How was the sacrifice that day?”
By these he could test whether his guess was accurate without revealing the true situation.
But now, he encountered the praying Byron in the dream world, so he could directly use another method to test it.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi’s expression changed.
“The Fiery Heart is really the apple given by me?”
“It’s seems to be the case.”
It still felt outrageous to Shen Yi, and she had difficulty accepting it, and then began thinking about how to capitalize on it.
He went back to his room to take his notes from the drawer, then returning to the seat he began to noted down his current situation.
Picking up the pen he tapped it on the desk, while muttering: “Well, there are a few things that need to be sorted out.”
“First, the apple given to the summoner during the “summoning period”, turned into a fiery heart. So is it always like this, or will it turn into something else if the apple is given the second time?”
“Second, whether the thing given is food or knowledge, such as an apple that has turned into a fiery heart, and then is given to the summoner by one’s own hands during the “summoning period”, will it turn into an apple again, or it will still be fiery heart, does it “evolve” twice “?”
“Third, the gift I gave in the summoning time transformed to the mythical object or knowledge to the corresponding extraterrestrial God. What happen if I gave knowledge in the summoning ceremony of the Chaos Ember Order, and food to Byron’s summons?”
He almost wrote all the points so after writing here he stopped and saw the points and thought what was missing, then a point came.
“Fourth, what is the source of the power I got? Is it really just a cheat that comes with time travel? In this mysterious world based on chaos and madness, are there really cheap cheats that are given away for free?”
“Hey, my intuition tells me that things may not be that simple.”
“By contrast, the pseudo-god things don’t seem to be the biggest problem.”
Next, Shen Yi began to think about how to utilize the power of this “Transformation God Gift”.
The simplest way was to continuously give various things to the believers during the summoning, wait until they were transformed into real divine gifts, and then find a way to get them back into his hands.
Well, for finding way to get Divine gift back it wasn’t impossible. If he borrowed it in the name of Divine Envoy, the believer would not refuse, even would offer it to him happily.
With all of this thought running in Shen Yi’s mind his confidence increased, and felt the future would be better.
“In a sense, as I progress step by step, the gap between me and the true god seems to be getting smaller and smaller.”
It’s just the number of roles I have to play is a bit much…
Once again Shen Yi’s mind raced with thoughts and he fell into a dilemma of accepting prayers and sacrifices 24 hours a day. At that time, he might really issue an oracle and strictly prohibit every believer from praying to or offering sacrifices to him unless necessary!
Shaking the head he patted his face: “Well, that’s it for now.”
“Someone is coming.” While muttering, he turned his head and looked outside the window.
After frequent summon not only his physical strength increased, but his spirit, five senses and inspiration also improved at some point, so finding the little movement and different breath was so normal to him.
He found the person coming here was Su Ling.
He placed the notes away casually, with no worries of Su Ling might take a peak.
Because although Shangxuan people’s writing was also phonetic writing, it was still different from the modern Chinese where he came from. So apart from him no second person could read his content.
Su Ling, opening the cafe door saw Mr. Shen sitting be the window seat.
He seems to be waiting for someone, for her, or did he know she will come here?
Taken aback by this strange thought she stood still and greeted: “Mr. Shen…”
“You seem to have encountered some difficulties and is confused.” while speaking he calmly gestured her to sit down.
Though Shen Yi didn’t possess any mindreading abilities, the emotion that was written on her delicate face was clear to anyone who saw it.
“Um……”
Su Ling nodded in response and confirmed her innital guess ‘he’s really waiting for me’ calmly moved forward and took the seat.
Shen Yi got up and went to the room to get a roll of towels for Su Ling and made a cup of hot coffee for her.
“Tell me what happened.”
Su Ling silently took a sip of the hot coffee, and found it was new type of coffee, and after a long silence she recounted what happened today.
Only now Shen Yi realised that Su Ling was teeneager and just turned eighteen today, his past encounter gave him the illusion that Su Ling had already grown up.
Su Ling continued: “Actually, I know what they’re saying, but it’s just they want me to stop investigating and punishing them.”
“A lot of it is just acting.”
“But I still feel a little… confused.”
“… If I really take action, I will probably lose my friends.” speaking here her voice laced with tinge of pain.
For the first time Shen Yi felt Su Ling in front of him was really child. “You should know very well that this is not a misunderstanding or mistake, but a premeditated murder, because the old man’s birthday is the same as Earl Bute.”
“Yes.”
Su Ling nodded in a response before adding: “I also know that it is the groups and factions that carry out the bill, and Count Bute’s strength alone is not of the utmost importance.”
“But I still…”
Shen Yi continued with a smile: “How about this, first you calm down. Then take out a piece of paper and note down all the possibilities that may arise if you persist, and then write down the things that you can and cannot give up.”
“In the end, you’ll be able to see your heart.”
“See your heart…” Su Ling lowered her head pondered calmly, and sincerely accepted the suggestion.
She suddenly raised her head and asked, “If it were you, what will you do?”
Shen Yi did not answer directly, but said: “But I am not you, and no one is you.”
He glanced at the clock.
The time was not yet past twelve, and there were still more than ten seconds before the day passed.
Shen Yi sincerely offered his blessings once again.
“Su Ling, happy birthday.”
The corner of Su Ling’s mouth curved up somewhat helplessly, and said sincerely: “Thank you.”
Tonight Su Ling gone through a lot, and was already tipsy in Demi’s home and after a long walk and chatting she reached the end.
A wave of sleepines struck her and at some point she lay down on the table and unconsciously fell asleep.
Shen Yi shook his head and sighed: “Oh, I don’t have a bed to sleep on tonight.”
Is this the first girl to stay?
With a sigh he gently picked up the sleeping Su Ling and headed into the small room.
Su Ling was as light as she looked, as soon as he placed her on the bed she curled up slightly like a cat. Shen Yi carefully covered her with his quilt.
“I wish you a good dream.”
He decided in his heart, that no matter what decision Su Ling made, he would respected her choices and ideas.
——
Morning.
Su Ling tossed on the bed and gradually woke up from her deep sleep, her head still hurt a little. She slowly opened her eyes and what came into her eyes was n unfamiliar ceiling.
This… is… his room?
By now Su Ling was fully awake and looked around curiously and found that this place was… ordinary than expected? ordinary? narrow?
She hastily retracted such irreverent thoughts, and then, recalling yesterday’s incident, and was silent for a while.
In fact, Su Ling knew what her decision was without taking out a pen and paper.
She pulled out a piece of candy paper from her pocket that she had been carrying for a long time.
Su Ling stared at it for a full few minutes before putting it back again, suddenly she felt much more relaxed.
She got up from the bed, tidied her loose hair in the room, and bit curious about what Shen was doing.
