The development of the situation went beyond Quins' imagination. However, his previous decision to refine the legendary rare items as soon as possible happened by mistake. But now he feels that his preparations are not enough.
In a dangerous situation, if you are not careful, you will end up being shattered to pieces.
However, at this stage, he does not have many means to significantly improve his strength in a short period of time. Quins still decided to go to the Goronnu Grand Library according to the original plan. The seventh-level reading permission is not needed at this time, and more
When to wait.
He said goodbye to Olivia and got on the carriage that was already parked at the door.
The Great Library of Colonu is still crowded with people, exactly the same as when Quines first came.
Entering the seventh floor of Gronnu, even if Quins had a pass certificate, he still needed a series of procedures to enter. After waiting for more than half an hour, Quins was finally allowed to enter the seventh floor of Gronnu Library.
The seventh floor of the library is very large, but there are very few bookshelves related to occult knowledge. You can see the end of it at a glance, and there are about ten bookshelves. Despite this, the Gronnu Library has a very deep accumulation.
Quins walked through it from beginning to end. The ten bookshelves were divided into categories, such as common sense, alchemy, witchcraft, astrology, theology, esotericism, etc. After looking through it in general, Quines found that the esoteric part was the least, with only a few
Three, and they are the most common ordinary legendary secrets, warriors, archers, and assassins. Without thinking too much, Quins knew that the New Ottomans were very strict in this regard. Those rare and advanced secrets were not
Maybe it's on the surface.
On the other hand, other mystical sciences are much more complete.
Quins didn't mind it either, he picked them up and looked through them one by one.
In this way, he stayed for a whole day. In order to avoid wasting time in the future, Quins decided to scan all this knowledge into the Soul Witch Book at once.
It wasn't until he picked up a book about theology that his reading slowed down.
"Types of gods!" Quins muttered. So far, Quins doesn't know much about the gods in this world. Some of them are either hearsay or common sense.
But the book called Classification of Gods in his hand caught his attention.
It turns out that the gods in this world are divided into three categories: the Old Ones, the Ancient Gods, and the Outer Gods.
The book does not explain the essential differences between these three types of gods, but it does explain how to distinguish these three types of gods.
Ancient gods, the oldest type of gods, but the ancient here does not refer to the ancient on the time scale. The book is vague, only saying that it was spread in summer a long time ago, and its most obvious feature is
It does not take the initiative to pay attention to the secular world, and only has a certain chance of receiving a response when believers offer sacrifices or pray. Its initial spread relied on its own huge influence, which coincidentally affected a certain number of living beings.
God's name slowly spread among believers.
However, some research shows that the ancient gods are blind and crazy, so they will only passively respond to the prayers and sacrifices of believers, and will not care whether this response will directly drive believers into madness.
The most obvious example is the Evil Spirit Society, which Quins has come into contact with, and the Christian Church where the Lord of Hell is located. They worship these kinds of ancient gods. Believers who die every year or go crazy praying and offering sacrifices.
Even much higher than falling into the enemy
The Old Ones are the natural enemies of the Ancient Gods. This is because of the blindness and madness of the Old Gods. As long as there is an opportunity, they will not hesitate to devour the Old Ones and strengthen their own gods.
Power. Unlike the ancient gods, the old rulers are keen to spread their own divine names and will take the initiative to send down oracles. The most typical representative is the mother of all snakes that Quines is now suffering from, and even the New Ottoman Empire is legal
The gods believed in by the six major churches all belong to the category of the Old Ones.
But despite this, the ancient gods and the old rulers all have one thing in common, the destruction of the world.
Yes, even the six legal churches of the gods in the Neo-Ottoman Empire will not hesitate to destroy the world as long as they have the opportunity. The only difference is that the destruction of the ancient gods is based on instinct, which then affects the believers who believe in them;
But the rulers of the old days have deeply hidden the idea of destroying the world, and will not reveal it until they reach their goal. Therefore, in the current world, there are still countless believers who believe in gods without knowing what they believe in.
The ultimate goal of gods is to destroy the world.
Quins found some clues between the lines. It seemed that a long time ago, the creatures in this world had a devastating war with the Old Ones, a war that lasted for tens of thousands of years. And the Old Ones had
The author's theory of annihilation was passed down from that time. As for how credible it is, Quines himself is not sure. To really know the answer, he needs to advance to level 7 and enter Suigu.
Go to the library to find the truth. At this stage, Quines can only write it down.
Finally, there are external gods. There is very little written about this aspect in the book. It seems that there are very few external gods in this world, no, very few. So few that the author of this book even thinks that external gods do not exist.
The outer gods are also the only type of existence that is different from the first two. They do not regard the destruction of the world as their criterion. Generally, the outer gods are in the neutral camp, and a few are biased towards the evil or good camp. Mortals are very
It is difficult to judge the difference between the Old Ones and the Outer Gods, so the statement that the six major church gods are all Old Ones is purely a guess based on probability and does not have much solid evidence.
At the end of the book, Quines came across an unexpected name.
Heart Light Council.
The reason why the author mentions this parliament is because this ancient parliament was handed down from ancient times. It was precisely because of the different beliefs and ideas of the members of the parliament that it led to the beginning of the split.
After some members of the council who agreed with the ideals of the Old Ones split, they took away some of the assets of the Heartlight Council and established the existence of the People of Dusk.
Some members of the Council who did not agree with the theory of annihilation established the Order of the Dawn, whose purpose was to prevent the ancient gods and rulers from annihilating the world and to destroy the cults that existed in the secular world. Of course, the People of Dusk are the Order of the Dawn.
The highest priority enemy.
As for the last group of people who believe in the ancient gods, due to the characteristics of the ancient gods, they work independently and have not established a group similar to the Heart Light Council.
On the last page of the book, Quins saw a symbol. He was startled and frowned slightly because he felt a hint of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Suddenly, the shadow of the soul witchcraft book appeared next to him. Amidst the flipping, the soul witchcraft book stopped on a page. Looking at the incomplete symbols on the page, Quins murmured: "It turned out to be this."
It turned out that what was displayed on the witchcraft book was an incomplete token that he got as the final reward in the ruins of creation and the Miracle Building Arena. Some of the rune patterns on it were surprisingly similar to those in the book.
The symbols partially overlap.
That incomplete token turned out to be something belonging to the Heart Light Council.
Quins slowly closed the book. Regarding this unexpected gain, Quins raised his eyebrows and secretly remembered the symbols in his heart.
