Chapter 98: The Essence of the World
Shen Yi stretched out a hand and accurately caught the offering that flew in front of him.
This not-so-behaved living sacrifice began to tremble violently when it came into Shen Yi’s hands. Then, as if it had encountered something extremely terrifying, it stopped moving and lay motionless in his hand.
Shen Yi knew what was going on, and smile contently, of course, the terrifying aura of the Extraterrestrial god subdued it.
He looked at the still expectant Byron, his tone calm.
“Give you a new gift.”
This time he had three gifts for Byron.
In this summon, he could complete his experiments of “whether things that have already been transformed will evolve a second time if given again” and “whether only things within one’s own domain can be bestowed.”
For what has been given, whether it would become the same thing when given a second time, he decided to leave it to the Chaos Embers Order to experiment with.
This time he was not going to let Byron listen the same “Xiao Yao You” and “Qi Wu Lun” twice.
In any case, he felt that either outcome, “repeated knowledge not transformed” or “transformed into repeated forbidden knowledge”, would be very confusing to Byron, and that he would be a bit embarrassed as the extraterrestrial god.However, he did have some other “knowledge” that he wanted to give Byron to try out.
Since he was going to do experiments, he came fully prepared, and the thing he going to bestow was no longer ancient Chinese. Instead, it was an important scientific knowledge of the modern era.
The Periodic Table of Elements.
——
Meanwhile, Byron even he was kneeling on the ground, his upper body remained straight.
He much anticipatedly waits for the new knowledge. A feeling of chasing taboo and peeking into them was always unforgettable and makes people unable to extricate themselves.
But the situation this time was… a little different from what he expected.
A while later, a large amount of indescribable information emerged in Byron’s mind again. They kept arranging and combining in a special pattern, and finally evolved into an extremely strange forbidden knowledge.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”
Byron only felt a splitting headache, he couldn’t help but rise his head and covered it tightly to subside it, but to no avail, even his eyes turned bloodshot.
Byron was prodigy among the acclaimed geniuses in the intricate of occultism.
His profound mastery extended over a myriad of invisible techniques, a staggering feat that set him apart from the masses who could scarcely grasp even a fraction of his vast repertoire in the span of their lifetimes.
Despite his unparalleled intellect and dedication, even Byron encountered insurmountable challenges in his attempts to fully comprehend and assimilate the elusive forbidden knowledge that beckoned from the extraterrestrial god.
A while later, his splitting headache subsided a little and he fathom the bestowed knowledge!
“I get it.”
Byron’s body trembled at the intense, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead even his face lost all its color but still the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.
He couldn’t and didn’t want to suppress his excitement!
“This is the new knowledge…”
The new forbidden knowledge was just right for use with the forbidden knowledge of “The Unity of All Things.”
The Essence of the World
The “Unity of All Things” that he gradually mastered was the knowledge of decomposing and reconstructing everything!
The Essence of the World, on the other hand, was the knowledge that allowed the master to gain insight into the “fundamentals” of everything!
As an example, he has mastered a small part of “The Essence of the World”, from this he could able to discern the essence of a certain mysterious relic by simply glance through “peeping ”. ȑ
Then, using the power of decomposition and reconstruction gained from “The Unity of All Things”, one can transform the other party into the most basic “elementary matter” and recast it into a new mysterious relic.
And most importantly, only by mastering both at the same time one could truly create a soulful beings!
Together with the knowledge of the soul realm in “Beyond the Bound”… Could it be that the Great One intends… to let me create a completely new race in the future?
Thinking of this great possibility, Byron couldn’t help but tremble all over.
He always felt that the White Mist had other ideas and arrangements besides exchanging “benefits” with himself, and it definitely be a horrible plan as well.
Now that this great plan was finally revealed, it looked like it was only the tip of the iceberg.
The difficulty of creating a completely new race was extremely great, and this was a fantasy that Byron had never thought of in the first half of his life.
But now he knew that he was getting closer and closer to being able to achieve this.
As long as he could fully master the existing forbidden knowledge, perhaps he could try… this great plan with an almost incredible possibility.
Byron knelt on the ground, his eyes full of excitement and joy, immersed in great longing.
Not only that, he had a strong urge to peek into the white fog around him…But in less than a second he suppress his death-defying curiosity.
“It was a close call. I was almost killed by ‘knowledge’.”
Byron breathed a sigh of relief. The strong impulse just now was actually the temptation given by the forbidden knowledge itself.
This was the dreadfulness of forbidden knowledge, the slightest carelessness would lead to the path of destruction.
Even if he could really peer into the successful extraterrestrial gods, the human mind and will would be utterly unable to afford the information available.
Just then Byron suddenly discovered two new things appearing on the magic circle.
A ball of blazing flame floated in the air, burning fiercely. It contained unimaginable energy, making everything around it scorching.
Byron looked at it in astonishment and dismay, peering into the essence with his newly acquired forbidden knowledge, and in an instant, he received a massive amount of information, which almost made him dizzy. Holding the head he closed his eyes tightly. Amidst the knowledge, he could only break down some part of it and digest part of it to find out the nature of this thing.
“The Fiery Heart!”
It was actually a legendary thing!
Byron was incomparably shocked, this was the essence of the substance left over from the world destroyed by the Lord of Ashes in the mythology!
The White Mist Across the Ashore, He was undoubtedly the mortal enemy of the Lord of Ashes. Perhaps, this was taken from Him by some means.
He actually gave me such a gift and taught me forbidden knowledge… He subconsciously felt strange, the Extraterrestrial god should not be so generous, right?
Then, he saw that on the other side of the spell, there was actually a plain apple placed.
“An apple?”
Because it was too close to the Fiery Heart, this ordinary apple quickly lost its moisture and immediately dried up.
What kind of gift is this?
Byron was stunned. He looked at the shriveled apple and found nothing unusual.
As if, it was really just a plain, ordinary apple?
The things bestowed by the Extraterrestrial god could not be that simple.
Just now he thought, he grasped four to five points of forbidden knowledge which obtained just now.
But now seeing this Byron fell into the dilemma of whether he made any mistake in identifying it, or he’ve only grasped a bit of skin, in the knowledge point.
That’s why he couldn’t tell the true appearance of this shriveled apple.
The logical conjecture allowed Byron to identify himself.
“Go to the place where we met and look for my messenger.”
With these final words, the “White Mist Across the Shore” began to dissipated from its surroundings, and everything in the basement returned to peace.
“So that’s how it is. These two gifts were not for me.”
With this realization he nodded in understanding, and then looked at Yana who had collapsed into an unconscious heap.
“The money will be transferred to your account.”
His tone was calm, just like in the past.
——
Shen Yi re-surface to the coffee shop, with a bloodless, shriveled arm in his hand, it was motionless.
“Whew, it’s a good thing it won’t jump up and strangle me.”
He breathed a sigh of relief and went back into the house to take out the soul ball.
Shen Yi sat on the bed, holding the soul ball tightly, and meditated on outlining the shape of his arm, trying to find out who “Thorsus” was from Yare’s memory.
However, this time, Yare, the “encyclopedia” also has no corresponding knowledge, completely unclear about the existence of Thorsus.
He also did not know what the use of Thorsus’s arm was.
“All
Shen Yi shook his head. This time Byron sacrificed something very unpopular.
So, where to put this thing?
“If I put it in the refrigerator, Tina will definitely find it.”
Even after sometime, he couldn’t come up with a better place, so he simply stuffed the arms under the bed.
He put this matter aside for the time being and calmly used the shadow mask to change his shape.
Then he put on the golden mask again, a black windbreaker, and held the threaded cane in his hand, and completely transformed into a mysterious gentleman.
Taking out the Book of Ten Traveler, he flipped through the pages and finally stopped at the library of the Beland Imperial Academy.
“Fortunately, no one is around now.”
“Travel.”
The next instant, the scenery around him changed, and he was standing in front of the library in the darkness.
Shen Yi silently waited here for Byron to arrive.
It was already one in the morning, fortunately there was no rain today. About half an hour later.
Byron, wearing a brown coat, walked over from a distance, carrying a black box in each hand, and saw the messenger of God in front of the library at first sight.
Byron muttered to himself, “Sure enough, the Lord of God is already waiting here… It took me quite a while to get from the suburbs to the city.”
Of course, Shen Yi also saw him at a glance.
His mind was occupied with the thought of. “The truth about transformation can be grasped.”
——
Meanwhile, in the Cafe.
Coke once again jumped up to the doorknob and very skillfully opened the door to the back room.
In fact, just now he was surprised to find this scent, so following it, it crawled forward, and soon it came under the bed and sniffed around, always feeling a very odd stench.
Of course, he knew what it was, it belonged to the smell of a high-level blood race.
The “alien species” on the second continent should have been extinct long ago, and the stories that were circulating now were just a few.
Coke sat up, raised his front paws and scratched his neck, feeling a little strange.
At this moment, a shriveled and bloodless arm emerged from under the bed.
Grab its neck suddenly and hold it tightly!
“Meow!”
Coke stomped up on all fours in horror, flinging the bizarre arm away violently with real force, and without hesitation turned and ran out directly through the crack in the door.
The shriveled and bloodless arm fell to the side, twisted and squirmed slightly, then gradually lost its vitality and became motionless.
A while later, half of a cat’s head appeared from the gap in the door.
A pair of yellow eyes stared intently, at the motionless arm.
