Chapter 249

"Cocayce's School of Spirit" Negri waved his hand, summoning a book from the other side of the bookshelf. It was a book that seemed almost illusory.

The miniature sun's light also flickered slightly, giving off the impression that it was watching everything.

Negri flipped open the book. It contained his observations of the Unrepenting Abyss, explaining why the souls of non-believers would be absorbed by the Unrepenting Abyss after death, as well as how the mist of regret and darkness of despair that settled within the Unrepenting Abyss would transform a person's soul into a dead soul.

Following that, the author of the book, Cocayce, used these observations to create the School of Spirit, explaining how to transform one's body through the axle ritual, turning one's body into a small Unrepenting Abyss.

It also explained how to prevent one's consciousness from being affected by vengeful spirits, a talent that even Negri couldn't help but sigh in admiration. Unfortunately, Cocayce was eventually killed by Life Bearer's Half Life Church.

The School of Spirit wasn't truly completed, and his successor wasn't willing to waste time to complete it, so he directly put it to use, using a mortal's body to control spirits and obtain supernatural power.

Naturally, that successor died, while the new successor, Saron, turned out to be an even more foolish individual.

After he obtained the School of Spirit's magical tome, because he couldn't read, he could only decipher the contents of the tome bit by bit and ask someone else to decipher it.

Ignoring this method for now, the truly foolish part was that after he obtained power, he immersed himself in enjoyment and didn't use his power to obtain more knowledge. At the very least, if he could read, he would be able to correct the magic he deciphered so that his body wouldn't rot prematurely.

"The Unrepenting Abyss was the burial ground of the elves' heroic spirits. The curse of the seven Gods, coupled with certain unique factors, turned that place into a resting place for souls" Negri flipped through the Tome of Spirit in his hand.

The first half of the book was still the School of Spirit that Cocayce created, as well as his successor's clumsy supplementation. The latter half of the book contained new information, including the changes that occurred after the Unrepenting Abyss was formed, as well as its many subsequent developments.

The truly shocking part was the analysis of the curse of the seven Gods within the Unrepenting Abyss, as well as the observation report on its formation with the Unrepenting Abyss, as well as the data recorded in this Tome of Spirit.

And this was also what Eternal Heat valued.

Omniscience was omnipotence, but this omniscience included how to use the knowledge. If one didn't know how to use the knowledge, then no matter how much one knew, it would be useless.

Every book here was created by Negri using germs. For example, this Book of Spirits was created through his observation of the Unrepenting Abyss, combined with Cocayse's School of Thought, to create a germ with spirit properties. This book itself was running spirit magic. At the same time, Negri had also used his understanding of the Unrepenting Abyss to form a link with it, allowing him to continuously obtain relevant data.

On this bookshelf, there were thousands of magic books, most of which were about germs. On one hand, they were records of that magic, but on the other hand, they were also practitioners of that magic. During the process of cultivation, all the data obtained would be stored.

After Little Sun saw the changes in the Book of Spirit Bodies, it quickly returned to its indifferent look.

"That's why the Unrepenting Abyss is special. Even for the seven Upright Gods, that place is special." Negri observed the Book of Spirit Bodies for a while, then commented: "Most likely, the will of the world is also being suppressed there"

"After all, that place is the only place that contains the power of the seven Upright Gods" Negri slowly replied. The Moon Tree world was divided among the seven Upright Gods, and only the Unrepenting Abyss contained the power of the seven Upright Gods. Other than that, the only other entity that was cursed by the seven Upright Gods was the elven race itself.

The so-called God Offering Day was actually the day when the world's fruits of labor were once again divided. While the will of the world was being suppressed, every once in a while, the world's ability to recover would allow the will of the world to accumulate a certain amount of Source Power.

"A world like a farm, but this farm has seven masters collecting the profits, and the ones being farmed also have their own thoughts" Negri smiled. None of them were simple.

Whether it was the seven Upright Gods, or the will of the world that was being farmed.

The power of the seven Upright Gods had completely suppressed the will of the world. Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be able to free itself, unless the power of the seven Upright Gods began to weaken.

The will of the world wanted to escape, while Eternal Heat wanted a larger share of Source Power. The two of them seemed to have reached some sort of agreement, and Chromie was nothing more than a chess piece that they used to complete their agreement.

In truth, the same was true for Negri, but after Negri realized this, he obtained control over a certain crucial factor that made Eternal Heat unwilling to directly destroy Negri. After failing in his attempt to assimilate Negri into his Dependant, the two of them managed to reach an equilibrium.

Negri fell into thought. Every living being had their own needs, the will of the world was like that, Eternal Heat was like that, and Negri also had his own needs, so what he needed to think about was how to satisfy his needs in this game.

"Then let's see if I can control a God" Negri smirked, the giant clock behind him slowly turned bit by bit under the push of the gears.

While Negri was thinking about how to become a player in this game, the pursuit on the other side had begun once again.

"It's here" Chromie cautiously observed a nearby branch of the sewers that led to who knows where. According to what he saw with his Spirit Vision, this was the location of a secret hideout that the other party had arranged.

Although this young man wasn't too old, he was extremely meticulous. He had arranged a large number of traps in this hideout that could trap or even kill him if he wasn't careful.

And although the other party would be in a weakened state after fusing with the Gear, it was only a weakened state. At that time, it would be extremely easy for him to escape or use the traps to counterattack, so the best solution was still to sneak in and subdue the other party while they weren't paying attention.

Darr looked up, feeling an ominous feeling in his heart. He greatly admired Negri, so after joining the Hermit Order, the power he chose was to imitate Negri's.

To understand and control the enemy, he had transplanted a unique bloodline into the other party, which was why his pair of snake eyes were an abnormal phenomenon.

His ability was naturally sensitive to everything around him, which made it easier for him to gather information. Chromie's Spirit Vision wasn't omnipotent, so no matter how careful he was, he still managed to draw Darr's attention.
