"...Here I can give you some extended reading. The man mentioned here who 'completed the degradation of high-level magic' actually created a new profession, that is, the 'demon' who transcends the path...
…”
The pure white saint continued to speak patiently to Aiwass.
But at this moment, Aiwass' pupils suddenly became empty for a moment.
She was stunned for a moment, and then she saw that Aiwass' original dark blue pupils suddenly ignited with a pure and shocking true red——
Just like at sunrise, the morning sun jumps out from the edge where the sky and the sea meet. The deep red color is accompanied by a golden ring, which makes people feel as if light is shining on their face.
……How is this going?
Chunbai suddenly opened her eyes wide.
In an instant, an unbelievable idea came to her.
Aiwass, it can’t be...
Seeing Aiwass' eyes focus again, the light in his eyes slowly extinguished, Bai Bai suppressed the terrible thoughts in his heart for the time being.
"...From this point of view, Cardinal Hecate, who studies advanced divine arts, actually has a conjecture. She believes that a prerequisite for mastering advanced divine arts is the possibility of becoming a phantom egg."
She continued to narrate.
And Aiwass asked nonchalantly: "Can we think of it this way: being able to become a demon egg actually has some special qualifications?"
"That's right."
Pure White nodded.
She continued to explain patiently, and Aiwass also listened carefully.
——Because the abilities directly mastered through the system do not have relevant knowledge.
And high-level magic is different from abilities such as "Light Fire". It is not a skill, but a complete system... similar to "divination" or "alchemy". Even if it can be used, if there is a lack of corresponding
Knowledge is also difficult to fully use.
After Chunbai roughly finished the first book, Aiwass took out the second book.
This book is called "Higher Divine Art: Vessel of the Soul".
Without waiting for Aiwass's request, Chunbai spoke directly: "To talk about this, it involves the connection between the material world and the dream world. Not only will people enter the dream world after death, but also the phantoms in the dream world will enter after death.
Material world; the gods of the dream world can directly influence and transform the material world, and various trends of thought and changes in the material world will also feed back and affect the dream world.
"In these two processes, the only thing that communicates in the two realms is actually the soul. The power that the extraordinary person gets from the dream world will eventually return to the dream world after death, regardless of whether he becomes a phantom demon or not. Therefore, the power of the dream world
Things are always in the dream world; and no matter how the material world changes, matter is ultimately conserved, so things in the material world are always in the material world... Only the soul can communicate back and forth between the two worlds.
"When a person dies, if they can be sublimated into an apostle or a celestial being, or be infiltrated by the power of the path and turn into a wild phantom, thereby escaping the fate of reincarnation, then they are equivalent to ascending their will into the dream world.
; In the same way, the heavenly beings and apostles in the dream world can also be reincarnated back to the material world, and the apostles can even walk in the material world.
"Illusions such as goblins, demons, and fairies can also enter the material world - if they die in the material world, even if their essence as phantoms can return to the dream world, part of their will will still be damaged in the material world.
.So from this point of view, only the soul...or will, can travel back and forth between the two realms and does not belong to either realm. The basic theory of advanced magic is here.
"From this perspective, we believe that the body in the material world is actually a temporary container for the soul, and humans are equivalent to gods in their infancy. The essence of advanced divine arts is to make the soul become a container for another layer of will. That is to say, the body
Transformed into a 'container of containers'. If the original body was just a bowl with water in it, it was our own soul; then we must now turn the body into a cupboard, allowing the water-like soul to target different divine wills
And condensed into ice bowls..."
After hearing this, Aiwass finally saw the pop-up window:
[Gray Eternal is teaching you "Higher Divine Art (2/11)". Do you want to pay 112 public experience to master this mysterious skill? 】
Less experience this time!
Aiwass was overjoyed.
The total experience he has accumulated is only 5214 points. If the demand for experience becomes higher and higher, he may not be able to learn enough. In that case, he may have to find a way to get more experience.
And Chunbai could clearly see that Aiwass's pupils had become hollow again.
The underside of his pupils once again reflected the brilliance of the morning sun - compared with just now, the brilliance now is a bit brighter. It is like the sun has moved upward for about ten minutes during the sunrise. Although it is not very
It's obvious, but with a pure memory, you can clearly see the difference.
--really.
Chunbai's heart trembled, and she was convinced of her previous suspicion.
A memory fragment suddenly appeared in her mind - it was what the Eternal Pope had said to her when he was still conscious.
His Majesty the Pope told her that Bishop Mathers had written to mention that...Aiwas mastered the "Fire Sacrifice Technique" even faster than His Majesty the Pope. He had not even told all the key points, Aiwas
Si has completely mastered it - even more deeply than many people who have studied for three or four years.
"That feeling is closer to 'remembering' than 'learning'."
At that time, His Majesty the Pope sighed: "If Aiwass hadn't been just a human... I would have thought about whether I should try to make him succeed the Pope. Maybe he could even 'remember' high-level magic so easily."
Before meeting Aiwass, Chunbai sneered at these words.
In fact, she has great respect and yearning for His Majesty the Pope.
As an eternal saint, she shares the inheritance called "eternity" with the eternal Pope. In a sense, the relationship between the two of them is like mother and daughter... although the Pope's current body looks much younger than hers.
Already.
But that is also because of the price that must be paid to bear the [Holy Crown].
As the top artifact in the world, the [Holy Crown], which can allow critical experts to forcibly break through to the next energy level, of course requires a price. And its price is the user's [years].
To ordinary people, it seems to be an artifact that has the effect of rejuvenating one's youth.
But in fact, this kind of rejuvenation does not extend life, but doubles the life span - when wearing it, it will burn years "forward" and "backward" at the same time. The apparent effect is to make the body younger and younger.
.
Generally, a saint will succeed the pope at the golden age of about three to four hundred years old, and after the expiration of the three-hundred-year term, she will step down and become a saint. The so-called saint is someone who "has the power of the fifth level but has not become a cardinal."
"Outside the Church Giver".
If a four-hundred-year-old elf becomes pope for three hundred years, she will look only a hundred years old, like a twelve- or thirteen-year-old human child, but in fact she is already a thousand years old, by elf standards.
It can be said that he is getting old.
Next, her body will grow at a speed visible to the naked eye and quickly return to its original state. The aging rate is even faster than the growth rate of human beings. It may only take twenty years to go from a little girl of twelve to thirteen years old.
Aged into an old lady of eighty or ninety years old. The remaining time is the "retirement vacation" for these saints to travel around the world.
Candidate saints cannot leave the twenty-first circle, and once they become popes, they cannot leave the twenty-second circle at will. On the contrary, in the saint stage, they can run around in the Theocracy... but they cannot leave the Theocracy either.
Only after resigning can one leave the Theocracy and travel outside.
The few remaining lives are the few free time these retired popes have.
From this perspective, becoming the Pope is not a "good thing". It is actually a sacrifice and a kind of dedication. Because of this, only the most dedicated people will be willing to sacrifice their lives in this ceremony.
After more than two hundred years of hard training, he was able to communicate with the Nine Pillars of God in his youth... It took more than three hundred years of loneliness and another three hundred years of life sacrifice to gain the last twenty years of freedom.
——Even if Aiwass can reluctantly learn advanced divine arts, he will never become the Pope.
Chunbai believed so firmly back then.
Because this is an unbearable pain for short-lived species.
Not to mention, just learning high-level magic will almost burn out their lifespan. And tampering with their own souls may affect their evaluation after death... Those who might have become apostles may also
It will become less pure because of this. It is also for their own good not to let them continue learning.
However, Aiwass...
There was only one thought in her mind.
It turns out that everything Bishop Mathers said back then was true, and it turns out that what His Majesty the Pope said back then was so accurate.
There are actually people who "learn" as if they "remember"...
This is already a miracle.
Now that there is the first kind of miracle, why can't there be the second kind?
… Could it be that Aiwass really has a chance to become the Pope?
Even if it is just ten years, or even a shorter "acting pope", it can change the problems of the Theocracy - any cardinal will appear to be too extreme for today's Theocracy.
Because they are not like the Eternal Saint, who received the calmest and most balanced education from the beginning, but have their own opinions. If they obtain the power of the Pope, it may change the permanent status of the Church of the Nine Pillars in various countries.
A neutral position... no, not maybe, but definitely.
But it might be much better if Aiwass, an Avalonian who is not yet at the fifth level, becomes the "acting pope"!
As long as he can delay it for ten years, or even less... maybe it only takes one or two years, and the drug to treat his Ningbo can be developed!
At that time, I can take over...
...No, it still doesn't work.
Chunbai shook her head and suppressed her heartbeat.
That would be tantamount to burning Aiwass's lifespan... She couldn't do such a thing, it would be tantamount to hurting Aiwass.
For short-lived species with an inherently short life span, any year is precious.
Chunbai sighed secretly, gathered her mind and continued to explain the advanced divine arts to Aiwass.
At the same time, she is still looking forward to——
