One after another the people who had gone out came back, and the High Priest of Truth sat on his seat and accepted the worship of these people, just like a king summoning his ministers.
But after hearing the report, he immediately stood up and scolded everyone present.
"It hasn't been found yet. So many people can't find anyone."
"A bunch of trash!"
"A bunch of trash..."
His voice echoed inside and outside, and all the people dressed in religious attire lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the chief priest.
The Priest of Truth was very anxious, even manic.
The God of Knowledge issued an order to send Asai to the Holy Mountain as soon as possible, regardless of life or death.
This god is not a benevolent god, and he has never shown any mercy to his believers and servants.
This speed seems to have no time limit, but the chief priest of truth knows that his god has never been a patient character.
not to mention.
The God of Knowledge gave him the Gate of Truth not only to allow him to deal with Xiao, the chief priest of the Divine Contract, and Asai, the experimental subject of the Path of Wisdom, but also to put a layer of shackles on him.
If he can't solve Asai, when the God of Knowledge's patience runs out.
Divine punishment will befall him soon.
But the current situation is that the man named Asai has no idea where he is going, just like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Internally, he, who had just accepted the influence left by the Divine Contract Chief Priest Xiao, was unable to completely control the situation. There were people who were trying to hinder him, both covertly and covertly.
The people below were silent, and the High Priest of Truth became even more angry.
"Arrest all the friends that Asai knows and everyone who has anything to do with him, and put them on trial on the execution ground."
"Don't he like to go to execution grounds and rob people?"
"Then let him rob him all at once."
Someone below said: "Doing this will attract the attention of the Temple Demon Hunting Group and make them realize that they have completely lost control of Anhuo City."
"It is very likely that Asai will not be attracted by then, but An Li, the leader of the demon hunting group will be attracted."
"Even."
The man paused and slowly said the name that had frightened them for decades: "Vivien, the third generation sage."
Everyone knows that when the sage Vivien appears, it means that the terrible monster Steen will also descend on Anhuo City.
By that time, no one among them would be able to survive.
And what the following people from the Ghost Religion don’t understand the most is why they would go to war for such a character?
The chief priest of truth looked at these people with cold eyes: "Oh?"
"So, your fear of the Sages of the Temple of Truth has surpassed your faith in God?"
He roared angrily: "This is the world of God. What you need is to offer your most devout faith to the God of Knowledge."
"You must firmly believe that no one or existence in this world can stop God's will."
"The leader of the Demon Hunting Group, An Li, can't do it, the sage Vivien can't do it, and that monster named Steen can't do it even more."
The name of the God of Knowledge was mentioned, and the expressions of everyone present changed.
The people below expressed their piety one after another under the roar of the chief priest of truth, and the person who had just raised objections kowtowed.
After the chief priest of truth beat these people, he sat down.
"This is my order."
"It is also God's will."
Everyone immediately dispersed and started the next plan.
The Priest of Truth sat back in his chair, his eyes lost in deep thought.
He himself didn't know if this trick could lead to the Wisdom Path experimental subject Asai.
"Asai!"
"The Wisdom Path Experiment, Xiao's Defection."
"What is all this... for?"
Anhuo City fell into complete chaos. The guards broke into one house after another, put many people in chains, dragged them out and sent them to prison cars.
The tranquility of St. Ann District was completely broken, and all members of the local security team were arrested.
All of Asai's friends and neighbors were arrested.
In the name of evildoers.
In addition, many people in Rolling Stone Town were sent to Anhuo City in prison cars.
People everywhere began to spread the word that Asai was a heinous person who sold his faith to the evil god. These people were once his accomplices.
All those who are related to him and betray the faith of Yinsai will be tried on the execution ground of Anhuo City.
The entire Dark River area was in an uproar, and Asai's notoriety grew even higher with the spread of the news.
Anhuo City is obviously under the rule of Xiinsai, but now it looks no different from a city affiliated to the Ghost Order.
Although the dynasty's control over various regions began to decline after the death of the second generation king of the Henir Dynasty, such bad situations are still rare.
Someone immediately noticed something amiss and quickly reported it to the City of Gods.
---------------
on the street.
When he saw the newly reposted wanted notice and the trial and execution documents, Borick's expression immediately changed.
He pushed through the crowd and walked quickly back to Asai's residence.
But when he stood in front of the door, Polik stood still hesitantly.
He didn't know whether he should tell Asai.
His first feeling told him that this was a trap set for Asai, but he was worried that if he didn't tell Asai, the other party would blame him in the future.
In this anxious mood, Porick opened the door and walked in.
The white walls in the room are covered with various symbols, and various volumes and ancient books are scattered everywhere on the floor. These days, Asai has been shutting himself in the room, looking for some answer as if he was possessed.
Under the sun, Asai held high the slate of the Road to Wisdom.
He carefully looked at every symbol and text on it. Although the shining sacred stone on it had already been removed, this stone slab was much more precious than the sacred stone.
In other words, these patterns and words on the stone slab are the most precious things.
Polik was about to say something in a hurry, but suddenly stopped when he saw Asai's focused posture.
Asai asked him first.
"Porick!"
"Why do you think Xiao gave me this stone slab of the road to wisdom, and handed over to me the path of myth that he spent his whole life perfecting?"
Polik didn't quite understand: "Is he afraid that no one will inherit his knowledge after he dies?"
"But...it shouldn't be!"
After saying this, Porick also felt that it was impossible.
Asai also nodded: "Xiao is probably not dead yet, he is just hiding in a way that no one can find him."
Polik expressed another thought: "He wants you to deal with the God of Knowledge? Does this tablet contain the secret to defeat the Myth?"
Polik still objected: "That's not right either!"
"If that's the case, why doesn't he defeat the God of Knowledge himself?"
Xiao gave him this slate because he wanted him to defeat the villain in the bottle, and Asai felt the same way.
He believed that the secret of defeating the villain in the bottle was hidden in the stone tablet Xiao gave him.
That feeling is an intuition.
Two geniuses who also came from the Temple of Truth, both of whom were third-generation students of Sandian, had a tacit understanding.
Polik hesitated again and again, and finally prepared to tell what he saw on the street: "I have..."
Asai interrupted what Porick wanted to say: "If you have anything to do, please wait until I have figured out this set of stone tablets for the path of wisdom."
"I have checked all the books in the Yinsai Temple these days, and I finally understand what is recorded on this stone tablet."
"The power of divine grace is divided into four types: spirituality, wisdom, desire and knowledge. Desire can also be called personality, and memory can also be said to be knowledge."
"Xiao created this road of wisdom based on the growth trajectory of mortals and the life journey of every intelligent being, and depicted the road for mortals to lead to myths."
"According to the records of Xiao's Road of Wisdom, I am now the first reincarnated being on the Road of Wisdom, a person who has embarked on the path of myth."
Asai held the stone slab and walked around the room, muttering to himself.
"If the road to wisdom was perfected by Xiao, I was the first to embark on it.
"Then why can it become a myth? How can it wear the crown of myth without passing the path of wisdom?"
"If the God of Knowledge is already a myth, why should Xiao go find a way to embark on the path of wisdom?"
Asai didn't understand, it was completely illogical.
He felt that this answer was probably the secret that Xiao wanted to tell him, and also the weakness of the villain in the bottle.
Asai walked around the room, occasionally stopping to find a long scroll on the ground and write a lot of symbols on it that even Porick couldn't understand.
This wait lasts for several days.
Seeing that the execution ground was about to begin again today, Asai was still searching for the answer sleeplessly.
This actually made Porick relax.
He thought to himself: "Let's go through it like this and let the trap set by the other party fail."
Polik was sitting on a chair in the living room with his eyes narrowed. Asai, who was kneeling on the ground and writing something, suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
This startled Porick and made him stand up from his chair.
"I saw."
"I found the answer."
Asai held the stone tablet of the Road of Wisdom and laughed. He seemed to have seen the truth of everything, an extremely ridiculous truth.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"What...what is this...so that's what it is...that's what it is."
Asai held the stone tablet of the Road of Wisdom and smiled miserably. He turned back to look at the confused Polik and said with a smile.
"It turns out...it turns out...it's not a myth at all."
Polik looked at Asai and thought he was crazy.
"Who is not some myth? The god of knowledge?"
"How can this be?"
Asai laughed even harder when he heard Polik calling the little man in the bottle the God of Knowledge.
"What god of knowledge?"
"It's not a god at all."
"It's just a little man in a bottle who has mastered a mythical item."
Asai explained to Polik, and at the same time he was explaining the answer he was looking for these days: "When Anhofors created the God of Knowledge, although he also used the four-part secret technique of the Divine Grace Stone, he did not think of reincarnation.
This method."
"He obtained the mythical blood through plunder. This power is external."
"The God of Knowledge is not a god at all, nor is it a myth."
"It is just a little person locked in a bottle. All its power comes from the bottle that binds it. The bottle gives it strength and also imprisons it forever."
Polik: "But."
"Does this have anything to do with how to defeat the Man in a Bottle?"
Asai nodded: "It's useless to others, but it's very useful to me."
Asai held the slate of the Road to Wisdom, his eyes showing complicated emotions, and his originally smiling temperament gradually became colder.
After a long while, he said slowly.
"Xiao is very powerful."
"But one day he falls into my hands, and I won't show any mercy to him."
Asai saw the answer Xiao left for him, the biggest flaw in the God of Knowledge.
Perhaps the God of Knowledge himself was not fully aware of it, but Xiao was aware of it.
In this world, it is estimated that only Asai can see Xiao's arrangement and calculation. At the same time, only he can complete Xiao's arrangement and deliver a fatal blow to the weakness of the villain in the bottle.
Although.
He would never thank this guy.
Asai put away the stone slab of the Road of Wisdom and put on the windbreaker hanging on the wall.
He picked up the cane. Although the problem with his leg had long since healed, he was still used to holding it.
"Let's go!"
Asai opened the door.
Polik chased after him: "Where to go."
Asai: "Go and see an old friend."
Polik looked at the direction Asai was heading, which was exactly the direction of the execution ground.
He didn't know that Asai had already known what he wanted to say, and had even made his own plans. Unfortunately, he thought that the other party didn't know anything all along, and thought of just dragging it out like this.
I just don’t know that the old friends Asai mentioned are those old friends on the execution ground.
Or refers to the little man in the bottle.
-------------------
On the execution ground.
Screaming, crying, scolding and other noises mixed together, and the crowd was surging.
Most of the people on the field came to watch the fun, and they gathered around and shouted from a distance.
"Kill these evildoers."
"Burn them, burn them."
"Chop them into pieces."
Many people do not know the prisoners on the execution ground at all, or even have any relationship with them.
But as long as someone kills someone, they will make noise.
Today they applaud when Asai is killed, and when Abao is killed tomorrow, they cheer equally.
But what they don’t know is that there are secret sentries everywhere around the execution place at this moment, and priests disguised as civilians,
Ordinary people came to see the excitement on the execution ground, while other people's attention was already scattered in various corners around the execution ground.
As soon as Asai appears, he will definitely be discovered.
And it was just as they expected.
Asai really showed up.
Far away in the street, Asai strutted towards the execution ground.
Gazes were cast on him one after another in the dark, but he didn't care.
The crowd immediately changed. Many people began to gather in this direction, vaguely surrounding Asai in a large circle. The originally noisy voices also became a bit quieter.
As he walked to the execution ground, Asai shouted.
"Get out of the way!"
As soon as Asai finished speaking, he saw that the dense crowd really gave way to a spacious road. Everyone involuntarily walked to both sides, and Asai walked along the road to the front.
This abnormal situation also attracted the attention of all the spectators.
Asai was walking in the middle of a road that was out of the way.
Extremely conspicuous.
The wailing prisoners on the execution ground also saw Asai, those fellow villagers of Asai in Rolling Stone Town, and those who knew Asai in the past.
Although Asai had changed a lot, these people still recognized him.
"Asai!"
"You finally showed up."
"It's really Asai."
"What on earth have you done to harm us?"
It was not until this moment that the people present confirmed that the heinous murderer wanted by the entire Underland River area was the Asai they knew.
Asai faced everyone and bowed politely.
"Hello everyone."
"I am the evil villain Asai you are looking for."
He smiled, and then a huge skeletal puppet climbed up from his feet, carrying him and standing on the execution ground.
The terrifying skeleton puppet is tens of meters tall, showing a terrifying aura and power that destroys everything.
As soon as the skeleton puppet appeared, everyone in the square was scared away.
"ah!"
"Run quickly!"
"Evil man, that evil man is here."
"He's going to kill someone."
Everyone dispersed in a hurry, but at the same time many people came against the crowd towards the execution ground.
The scene was chaotic.
The former members of the security team were all now on death row, and they were all shocked and dumbfounded as they looked at the power displayed by Asai.
No one thought that the Asai they knew would have such a powerful side, a side that would make the entire Anhuo City and even the entire Xiinsai feared.
As for the people in Rolling Stone Town, they felt like they didn't recognize him at all.
"Asai?"
"How can this be?"
"He's a poor boy from the country? A man with no talent."
"He has such a powerful power. Is he the legendary cursed priest?"
Asai did not respond to these people's doubts, he just waved his hand gently.
Bone hands crawled out from the square, grabbed the chained prisoners, and then dragged them into the ground.
As soon as Asai arrived here, he immediately cleared the area, and now only those who wanted to arrest Asai were left.
Asai stood on top of the skeleton puppet and looked at the other people present.
"alright."
"Whoever wants to find me, come out now!"
Shadows fell to every corner of the execution ground, forming a large barrier that enveloped the execution ground.
A figure wearing a gorgeous robe came out, and his body exuded the power of the spiritual force field.
The chief priest of truth raised his head and looked at Asai: "You are finally here, the experimental subject of the path of wisdom."
Asai: "My name is Asai."
Priest of Truth: "You still dare to come out. It seems that you are ready to die."
Asai shook his head: "I'm still preparing to go back alive!"
The chief priest of truth smiled in the face of Asai's arrogance: "Don't you still want to resist the power of God?"
Asai's eyes moved slightly: "The power of God?"
"OK!"
"Then let me see it."
As soon as Asai finished speaking, the skeleton puppet at his feet immediately started to move.
At the same time, one after another huge skeleton puppets crawled out from under the earth, running quickly towards the barrier on the execution ground,
The chief priest of truth opened his hands, and light condensed in the void.
One after another, special puppets carrying stone tablets were born from the void, descended on the execution ground, and collided with Asai's skeleton puppet.
The puppets of the Priest of Truth are very powerful, and the stone tablets they carry can actually release a variety of magical spells. They cooperate with each other to fight against Asai's skeleton puppets.
But Asai's power seems to be endless. Even if those bone demons are scattered, they can be reorganized immediately. The bone demon puppets crawling out of the ground turned into an army and drowned the puppets of the chief priest of truth.
In an instant, the entire execution ground and some surrounding buildings were reduced to rubble.
The two sides faced each other, and the chief priest of truth discovered that he was no match for Asai.
This makes the chief priest of truth a little embarrassed. He is the chief priest of the dignified Temple of Truth and one of the most powerful people in the world.
Asai, who was standing on the skeleton puppet, looked down at the chief priest of truth: "Is this the power of God?"
The Priest of Truth was completely angered, and he wanted to make the mortal in front of him look good.
"ridiculous."
"Your power comes from God, your strength is just a castle in the air."
"Asai, you are just a plaything of God."
Until now, the Priest of Truth thought that what was in front of him was just a test subject.
Asai let out a chuckle, which looked more like he was mocking himself to the High Priest of Truth.
The Chief Priest of Truth fully unleashed his power, and dozens of ghost believers activated a huge ritual array together.
The ritual array bloomed with bright light, and endless symbols and words were released from it.
The entire Anhuo City felt a strong pressure.
It seemed as if something extremely terrifying was about to cross space and descend on Anhuo City.
"Let's go out of the city." The crowd surged at the city gate.
"Hurry up, the monsters are fighting over there, go out and hide." Some civilians have already sensed the crisis.
"No, no, we can't stay in the city any longer." The city was in chaos, and many nobles began to feel that it was not safe in the city and fled outside the city.
In front of the Yinsai Temple, a cursed priest had just sent the situation in Anhuo City to the City of God's Advent, and his eyes were helplessly looking in the direction of the execution ground in the distance.
"Two fourth-level divine graces."
"How can this be?"
"One is the chief priest of truth of the Ghost Religion. Who is the other? Why have I never heard of it?"
Several priests saluted each other: "Sir, leave quickly!"
"Go out and hide first. This situation is beyond our control."
These priests, who seemed to be extremely powerful in the past, used their magic to escape outside, not even daring to look in the direction of the execution ground.
On the execution ground.
Buildings collapsed and the ground cracked.
The battle between the skeleton puppet and the stone tablet puppet continued. The symbols emerging from the ritual circle turned into reality, and a huge door slowly stood in the city.
The giant gate stands on the earth and connects to the clouds in the sky.
Like a miracle.
After this scene appeared, everyone in Anhuo City was frightened. This was no longer a battle between priests, but the power of myth.
More and more people began to flee outside the city, and the priests of the Temple of Insai were no exception.
Everyone was in panic all day long under that huge door, as if the end was coming.
The Chief Priest of Truth summoned the Gate of Truth, and at this moment he felt the crazy power.
Like the previous generation of Priest of Truth, he was also shaken by this terrifying power.
now.
He is God on earth.
He stood under the giant door, spreading his arms and laughing wildly.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"did you see it?"
"did you see it?"
"This is the power of God, unrivaled power."
A powerful force shrouded the entire Anhuo City. As long as the High Priest of Truth had a thought, he could drag the consciousness of everyone in the entire Anhuo City into another world.
Whether it is a commoner, aristocrat, a priest, or someone who is known as the apostle of God.
But at this moment, he has only one target, and that is Asai in front of him.
"The Door of Truth."
"Turn it on!"
"Give the mortal in front of you divine punishment and let him feel true despair!"
Under the control of the chief priest of truth, the door of truth slowly opens.
Slowly, but with overwhelming momentum and power.
Asai looked at the giant door connecting the earth and the sea of clouds, and he could even feel that there seemed to be another world behind the door.
That door has locked him, even if it escapes to the ends of the earth, it will be useless.
As long as the door is open, he will never be able to escape from here again.
But at this moment, he didn't panic at all. He looked at the chief priest of truth and spoke slowly.
"god?"
"You know what? Your god has never been a god!"
"The secret technique of dividing the Divine Grace Stone into four parts has long been associated with its myth, and its power has also been divided into four parts."
Asai stared at the Door of Truth and looked at the patterns on it.
"If the light of original sin was born from its desire, it originated from its own greed, and then swallowed up the power formed by the desires of countless ghosts."
"Then the power of the Door of Truth and the foundation and source of everything is the knowledge and memory of Anhofors, because the little man in the bottle was born from nothingness."
"That's the weakness."
"This is why Xiao didn't tell the God of Knowledge when he discovered his weakness, nor did he go to it himself.
"Because I am the only one in this world who can exploit this weakness."
"Because that is my memory and knowledge, because there is another me locked in the door of truth."
Asai's voice became louder and louder, echoing across the square like a loud bell.
The chief priest of truth couldn't understand what Asai was talking about: "Are you scared out of your wits by the power of God?"
Asai ignored the Priest of Truth and just looked at the Door of Truth.
He suddenly raised his cane and struck it hard on the Bone Demon's head.
He said calmly: "This is not its door of truth."
"This is my door to truth."
"I am its real owner."
"He is my knowledge, my memory, and the manifestation of everything I am."
"It's not just strength, it's my past."
Finished speaking.
Something terrible happened.
The door of truth disappeared from behind the chief priest of truth, suddenly disintegrating into endless symbols and words.
The light turned into a long river and passed through Asai's side and came to behind Asai.
The Gate of Truth abandoned the Priest of Truth and stood behind Asai.
With his back against the Door of Truth, Asai was like a god at this moment.
And the chief priest of truth, who was still arrogant just now, suddenly transformed into a mortal under the door of truth waiting to receive divine punishment.
The chief priest of truth burst out with a sharp scream, and he was completely frightened.
"How can this be?"
"How is this possible... God... God."
"This is the power of God, how could you take it away?"
The Priest of Truth doesn't understand why the power God gave him was taken away so easily.
It is estimated that even the God of Knowledge does not quite understand the true power core of the Gate of Truth. It is just a monster created by Anhofors, and it is just a creature in a bottle that inherits Anhofors's power and everything.
It knows the secret technique of dividing the Divine Grace Stone into four parts, but he never understands its concepts about the pursuit of eternal life and truth.
It has gained the path of wisdom, but it will never understand all Xiao’s exploration and devotion to reincarnation and mythology.
Only the real Anhofors can understand all this, understand the details and everything in that power.
Only the real Anhofors can find and exploit the weaknesses of the villain in the bottle.
Asai opened the door of truth and targeted the chief priest of truth and his ghost cultists.
Endless light bloomed from behind him, spreading towards Anhuo City.
"Who are you?" The chief priest of truth looked at Asai dumbly, as if he had seen another god, another myth.
Asai didn't say it directly, he just said something.
"Guess who I am? Why are your gods so afraid of me?"
The Priest of Truth thought of Xiao, what a terrifying figure he was!
A terrifying figure who suppressed him for decades and single-handedly ruled the Ghost Order and the Dark World for an entire era.
If it weren't for God's support, he would never dare to confront Xiao.
But in the eyes of the God of Knowledge, Xiao seemed to be nothing compared to Asai. The God of Knowledge was so eager when he mentioned Asai.
even.
Somewhat panicked.
Think of everything, as well as what Asai did and said just now.
Until the last moment, he suddenly remembered someone.
He was so frightened that he didn't believe what Asai said.
"How can it be?"
"You would have been dead a long time ago. You would have been dead a long time ago."
"How can you still be alive?"
at last.
He called out the name.
"You are An..."
at the same time.
The door of truth opens wide, revealing the world inside.
The chief priest of truth, who was wailing in despair, was placed inside, and his body was instantly shattered into pieces.
But his cursed spirit, consciousness and memory were forever locked behind the door.
Asai turned around and walked step by step towards the opened door of truth.
The dazzling light completely submerged his figure, and he stepped into the door of truth.
"I am coming."
When ordinary people enter the door of truth, they will only reveal everything derived from their wisdom bloodline, but when Asai walked in, it was completely different.
A huge tree-shaped pattern emerged from his body. It was Asai's fundamental form, and it also represented that he was a reincarnated person who had embarked on the path of wisdom.
Asai entered the door with a serious expression.
He knew this was not the end, everything had just begun.
