***
Opening his eyes, numerous insights lingered in his mind, the illusion evolved from the God-Given Object failing to dissipate for a long time.
“It can actually pull a person’s consciousness into an illusion…”
Karl retracted his palm, muttering softly:
“God-Given Objects are truly bizarre, but this is the first time I’ve directly gained a Holy Technique from one.”
Among the gods he knew, the God of Hunting was one of the lesser-known and weaker ones.
He should be a Lower God of the Fourth Order.
However, compared to the God-Given Objects left behind by other deities, His seemed more complete.
‘Could it be that the weaker the deity, the fewer the fragments, and the more concentrated the divine power, so it’s easier to gain techniques from the God-Given Objects?’
Steadying his mind, Karl looked at another God-Given Object.
“Bai Zhi?”
Strictly speaking, ‘Bai Zhi’ was not a deity, but merely an avatar of the God of Wisdom.
His rank barely reached the Fourth Order, but his strength was probably not even comparable to the ‘God of Hunting’.
Steadying his mind, he reached out and picked up the stone book, slowly closing his eyes and immersing his spirit within it.
“Ding…”
A melodious, clear chime sounded from nowhere, and an invisible ripple quietly covered his Sea of Consciousness.
Karl’s eyelids twitched, and he was shocked to find himself in a hall filled with endless books.
He casually pulled out a book from the bookshelf beside him.
Meyer Swordsmanship!
Hmm?
With a slight movement of his eyes, he pulled out another book.
Cross Swordsmanship!
Broken Steps!
Detailed Explanation of the Principles of Flight Magic!
Discourse on Lightning!
***
“These are all knowledge I’ve previously mastered or come into contact with, what use are they to me?”
Frowning, he slowly opened the book on Cross Swordsmanship.
Instantly.
Numerous insights about this swordsmanship technique flooded his mind, and certain ‘exquisite’ moves appeared one by one.
But this was meaningless!
Cross Swordsmanship was just a combat technique, and a very ordinary one at that.
If Karl wanted to, he could increase the rank of this combat technique himself, but even if he did, what would it achieve?
It couldn’t compare to a Holy Technique!
Nor could it compare to Wizardry!
“Snap!”
Closing the book, Karl was lost in thought.
“So, the special characteristic of the God-Given Object left by Bai Zhi is to help people organize what they need and accelerate their insights into the techniques they practice?”
“Wisdom…”
“I see!”
A certain insight quietly surfaced in his mind, likely an awakening from the God-Given Object, allowing him to understand instantly.
The God of Wisdom had two avatars.
Bai Zhi and Hui Nü.
Intelligence and Wisdom!
Intelligence,
Represents IQ.
Wisdom,
Represents insight.
These two are not the same.
Bai Zhi could memorize any technique he saw, and with a little practice, he could perform it proficiently and even master it.
He had gained knowledge of all kinds of techniques in the world.
Even the authority wielded by the gods, he had mastered a little of it.
Moreover, he could use what he had learned to fuse various techniques into one, evolving advanced techniques.
Although Bai Zhi was a Fourth-Order deity, he was known to have mastered all techniques and was an indispensable avatar of the God of Wisdom.
But without other techniques as a reference, his understanding of a technique would never surpass its creator.
Even if he could use other techniques to evolve an existing technique, it would only be at the level of skill, and he would not be able to break free from the original boundaries.
Just like how Bai Zhi mastered the ‘power’ of the gods, they were all weakened versions.
Hui Nü was different.
She could not quickly master complex techniques, and she did not know many techniques, but her importance surpassed Bai Zhi’s.
Because…
She did not need to observe the techniques of others.
Walking on the earth, Hui Nü could comprehend footwork; watching people enter the water, she could comprehend how to control the flow of water…
Bai Zhi could learn from all schools and innovate, but he was ultimately limited by himself and would never be able to break through.
Hui Nü, however, could ascend to the heavens in one step.
The combination of the two was the Fifth-Order Peak God of Wisdom.
“Whoosh…”
The pages of a book flipped quickly, and a thick book made Karl pause, with many thoughts rising and falling.
Thousand Buddha Hands!
‘Thousand Buddha Hands encompasses all things, theoretically, I can integrate everything I’ve learned before. With Bai Zhi’s divinity, I should be able to deepen my insights into this technique.’
‘As for other techniques, even if I completely comprehend them, they won’t be of much use.’
His choice was correct.
When he opened a book, all the other books related to it in the hall would vibrate.
***
The corresponding knowledge would also flood into his mind.
The number of books that vibrated varied depending on the book.
Only the Thousand Buddha Hands…
The moment Karl took it, all the books in the entire hall vibrated together, without exception.
“Buzz!”
As Karl’s consciousness entered the Thousand Buddha Hands, countless books flew up, transforming into streams of light that merged into it.
He didn’t know how long it had been.
Karl slowly opened his eyes, lowered his head to look at the stone book in his hand, and his mouth twitched slightly.
The divinity of this God-Given Object had been completely exhausted by him.
“I hope it doesn’t blame me…”
After muttering softly, a smile appeared on his face, and his gaze turned to the data panel.
In the Techniques column.
The original Thousand Buddha Hands had disappeared.
What replaced it was…
Ten Thousand Buddha Hands!

Name: Karl
Constitution: 22.6
Mental Power: 18.3
Source Essence: 0.2
Level: Second-Order Holy Knight, First-Circle Wizard
Abyssal Bloodline Fusion Rate: 53%
Holy Techniques: Ten Thousand Buddha Hands, Holy Demon Transformation, Heavenly Wolf Phantom Demon Fist…
Wizardry: Tidal Force, Thunder Wings, Thunder God’s Wrath, Second-Circle Spell ━ Water of Life…
“It’s been so long since I advanced to Holy Knight, but not only has my Constitution not increased, it’s actually decreased by 0.1.”
Karl shook his head speechlessly:
“The suppression of the world’s rules is too great!”
Fortunately, although his Constitution had not increased, his Mental Power had increased by leaps and bounds, from fourteen point something in the middle stage of the First Circle to eighteen point three.
He was not far from the peak of the late stage of the First Circle, and perhaps it wouldn’t be long before he broke through the First Circle boundary.
However…
At that time, he would probably find it even more difficult to stay in this world.
Not only had his Mental Power increased, but thanks to the insights gained from the God-Given Object, he had successfully constructed a Second-Circle spell while still in the First Circle.
Even in the Kalim Continent, where there were many wizards, this was an exceptional feat.
“Divine Envoy Karl.”
Hardy walked over:
“Everyone else has arrived.”
“Okay.”
Karl regained his senses:
“I’ll go take a look.”
Several Divine Envoys gathered in the Unreal City’s square.
Besides the familiar Hardy, Sam, and Yun San, there were also three Divine Envoys from other Unreal Cities.
The strength of these six was among the best of the Divine Envoys.
In terms of strength, even if they were not as good as Bowen, they were not far behind, and they had the power to resist Nightmare-Level Evil Creatures.
“Good!”
Karl scanned the group and nodded slowly:
“You all know what this trip is for, we must try our best to clear out the Evil Creatures near the Unreal City.”
“Especially the Nightmare-Level Evil Creatures, even if we can’t kill them, we must try our best to find a way to drive them away, so that more and more Unreal City inhabitants can migrate here and extend the burning time of the Divine Fire.”
“Yes!”
“We understand!”
***
The others nodded in agreement.
Some of them had originally wanted to migrate their Unreal Cities here, but they had hesitated due to concerns about the dangers.
Now that the dangers along the way were resolved, they could bring people here with peace of mind.
“We have a large force, Nightmare-Level Evil Creatures are not a big problem, unless they are like Sin Stone Statues that exist in groups, the main problem is that there is a Despair-Level Fallen Angel outside.”
Karl said:
“It’s quite troublesome.”
The expressions of the others darkened.
Despair!
These two words explained everything.
Faced with such an existence, numbers were useless, and their appearance often meant the destruction of an Unreal City.
Even a place like Mujou Unreal City, which had gathered hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of Divine Envoys, would find it difficult to eliminate a Despair-Level Evil Creature.
Driving it away.
Was already the best outcome.
“Don’t worry.”
Karl smiled:
“Originally, I didn’t have a good way to deal with the Fallen Angel, but fortunately, I recently mastered a special marvel.”
“Perhaps I can’t kill it, but it should be enough to trap it.”
As he spoke, he took out several short rods and handed them to the people in the group.
“This marvel is called the Twelve Zodiac Palaces, it originally had twelve rods, but I haven’t yet deciphered the other ones.”
“Each of us will take one of these seven, and we can form a formation. Once the Fallen Angel enters it, we can trap it in a spatial fragment.”
