[With the passage of time, the traces of the sky carriage have become shallow. The thread of fate has become thinner, and the book of truth is no longer condensed... If the sky carriage does not reappear, a new era of disaster will inevitably usher in.]
Endymion thus said:
[Because (Silent) is not the god of foresight. The rules she set in the past will eventually become obsolete... One day, the Book of Truth will no longer appear]
In layman's terms, it means that the relic seal left by the "Tianchai Yushou" has almost run out of ink pads, or is almost worn out.
From the time of Duke Skeleton to the time of the Man in the Mirror, there has never been a new Book of Truth...perhaps not because no new truth has been born, but because of the "automatic hand" left behind by the "Tianchai Handler".
"Admission mechanism" can no longer be applied to the rules of the modern world.
If you think about it carefully, the book of truth about "machines" condensed in the Theocracy is indeed related to Annan's invention of the internal combustion engine.
However, the focus here is on "Annan" rather than "internal combustion engine".
“What exactly is the Book of Truth?”
Annan couldn't help but ask: "In other words... what are the specific rules that gave birth to the Book of Truth?"
[The emphasis is on the fragments of truth, not the book of truth]
Endymion replied.
[Each of the truth fragments in the light world corresponds to a truth and an authority in the mist world, which is the source of the authority of the gods. However, mortal souls and bodies cannot enter the light world, and the truth fragments do not have a material form]
[The crane can gather the fragments of truth into a book of truth. Through the mutual restraint of multiple fragments of truth, the truth has "directionality". And this kind of weakened, directional truth can only be understood by mortals.
The book of truth within reach of one’s abilities]
[After the sublimated person enters the light realm, he can only hold at most two fragments of the page. The remaining pages will return to the light realm again and be handed over to the sky wheel to be reorganized into a book and handed over to the new preparatory god]
Endymion passed on the secret knowledge to Annan through the light beam, and Annan gradually realized what the "Heavenly Car" actually meant.
——The successor of the chosen god.
The authority of the "Heavenly Car" includes making the Book of Truth, guiding mortals to ascend to the light realm, and eliminating the erosion caused by curses that pollute the soul...
That's why the Twelve Righteous Gods look forward to Annan so much.
——Because Annan hides the possibility of returning the world to its peak.
Although why the former "Crown Wheel Master" died, what were her specific powers and titles, why her death led to the birth of demons, and when did the demons form a new race... these are all still a mystery.
But Annan already roughly knew the significance of the existence of "The Book of Heavenly Chariot".
This is simply a list of gods from another world...
Rather, it is hard to say that the world has been able to continue to function in the thousands of years since the "hand of the sky chariot" has been lost.
That's why there are special cases like "Paper Princess" where a painting becomes a god - it is precisely because the sublimation ritual and the judgment of the Book of Truth are too mechanized that some strange gods appear.
No wonder the gap between the new gods and the ancient gods is a bit big.
The group of ancient gods from the Age of Gods...for example, the Twelve Righteous Gods, seemed to have no adventurous process of collecting the Book of Truth, as if it was complete when they obtained it.
I'm afraid that the first-generation "Crane Chariot" at that time directly stuffed the complete Book of Truth - it's because the AI of the "Crane Chariot" that runs automatically today is not very good, so starting from the second era, the remaining pages will be stuffed into it.
Distributed to all qualified people around the world.
Because the "Tianchai Elf" seemed unsure who should give the Book of Truth. So it simply gave one to everyone...
Although Annan has now lost his memory.
But it can also be known from a few words that the holder of the Book of "Machine" in Theocracy did not travel around the world to collect the Book of Truth. I am afraid that what he obtained was the complete Book of Truth... Of course, it may also be relatively complete.
Most of the books.
...But why do I have to collect it myself?
Now Annan is still at least two or three pages away - obviously the righteous gods have already appointed Annan as the new crane, but the "crane elf" still stubbornly decided to go through the process...
Does this count as me cheating myself?
When Annan understood the difficulties faced by various countries, he felt that "the times are about to usher in huge changes", which was not an illusion.
The birth of the new "Crane" will indeed directly change the situation of the entire world. It may even mean the collapse of the old system...
Because the "umbilical cord ritual" fails, the curse technology will completely collapse; the path of corruption may have new developments, or it may disappear directly; the devil may be purified, or it may die suddenly; the Book of Truth will start again
Appear, new gods will begin to be born in large numbers...
At least for this period of time - the world really revolves around Annan.
"...Can I take you away?"
Annan asked with some unfinished thoughts.
As an "ancient man" who also knew many secrets, Endymion answered every question he asked. Of course, this may be because Annan's authority as the "Heavenly Car" is relatively high.
The other gods never made it clear to Annan, probably because they were worried that once Annan knew his identity and importance, he would be too eager to collect the Book of Truth... which would lead to Annan not being able to find other mirrors.
Because destiny is a treacherous road.
They all know the sky train very well.
——But they don’t know Annan very well.
This level of intelligence will not interfere with Annan's behavior at all...
But Endymion is different.
Because the righteous gods gave priority to how to let Annan develop... Endymion just obeyed Annan just because he was his "mother".
This is probably the difference between the elders and the younger generations.
[If my mother’s wish is to reshape the Great Barrier, then I can leave at any time... In that case, my mother will also need to obtain two great-level spells, the "Smoke Mirror" and the "Sixth Phase Purana"]
Endymion replied without any concealment.
These two great-level spells had names that Annan had never heard of before.
...maybe it will be useful in the future.
Annan silently remembered it in his heart and asked again: "What if I hope you can leave with me in good health?"
【That needs to wait until I am born, mother】
Endymion replied unceremoniously:
[First of all, mother, you have to restore the name of Tianche so that I can be born as the son of Tianche... Before that, it will take about three years for me to develop to the point where I can be born]
"That's it..."
Annan was thoughtful.
He suddenly said to Si Anqi: "Is that [young man's hair] still there with you?"
"...Ah? Ah, yes!"
Si An was stunned for a moment and quickly replied: "Boss... Bah, I mean, Your Majesty, do you want to use it now?"
"Well, give it to me. I will compensate you three times later."
Annan said, stretching out his hand.
This is "the hair of an old and young person" that has been treated with a special medicine. It is a somewhat rare but not difficult to obtain curse. It can only be obtained from "the hair that does not age and is like a baby."
"Old man" or "Obviously just a child but already aging like an old man" is removed from the head and treated with special medicine.
This is a high-level curse material that is enough to kill a Silver-level extraordinary person.
The most correct way to use it is to restrain the life of a dying person - that is, the so-called "life-tying ritual", which delays death by extending the lifespan several times.
Its current "life-binding" power is still exhausted, leaving only side effects.
Those who hold it will be cursed to "accelerate aging". That is, the speed of aging will be doubled.
However, side effects are not always bad.
For Endymion, who has an unusually abundant amount of "nutrition" but a relatively slow absorption efficiency, accelerating aging also means accelerating pregnancy.
"With it, it only takes about a year and a half for you to be born."
Annan smiled: "I will help you kill the bad guys who draw strength from you. You can grow up here peacefully... I will come back to pick you up in a year and a half."
[Then mom will come at the end of October next year]
Endymion answered:
[Then this mark is my gift to my mother...]
As it spoke, a pale golden light burned on Annan's left shoulder.
It was a pale golden, horizontal "8", or an infinity symbol. Just like the positions of the two rooms here.
"Thank you. Also, if possible, you'd better call me father..."
