Age of Adepts

Disguised as a follower of that god of wisdom?

Such an idea Grim could never have possessed.

If the gods could also be divided into 3, 6, and 9 classes, then the god of wisdom, Yero, could only be considered a weak god, barely a little stronger than those faint gods that had just been promoted to gods.

And Grim, as a 4th rank wizard, placed in the world of the gods, would be a demigod by all accounts!

The demigods and the gods were just one step away....

Although the strength of both sides was the difference between heaven and earth, it was really hard for Grim to deceive his true heart in his mindset. Respecting the gods could still be done, but to believe in them religiously was something Grim couldn't do to death.

Although the latter was a high and mighty deity in front of the common people, to the sorcerers, it was just a group of high-powered creatures clinging to their faith and parasitic on the surface.

The so-called divine and evil that the deities spoke of were only the outward manifestation of some kind of supernatural power!

The gods, having mastered supernatural power, use this to fool the world and brainwash their followers with 'teachings' and 'conversions', making them repeat the specious 'truths' with a thousand words. ' and 'justice'. In the process, the gods gained the power of faith from devout believers, while the believers received only a dime a dozen in return for their faith.

In order to deceive believers and spread faith over time, the gods even walked the earth in mortal form and created a church organization with a strict hierarchy with their own hands. In this church organization, the believers' minds were clamped down, and day after day they followed the rituals and prayers inherited from the 'saints' to communicate with the deities in their hearts, thus turning themselves into a node of the other side's beliefs.

In order to prevent their devotees from having their minds cluttered and fanciful, the gods would also crack down on scientific arts and progressive ideas everywhere, keeping their devotees in a constant state of simple-minded, simple-minded stupidity.

In order to stimulate the outbreak of the power of faith, the gods would even deliberately provoke secular wars, eliminating those unqualified believers with bloody and terrible wars, and replacing them with new blood.......

And in a world ruled by the gods, it is natural to ostracize and combat those who wield supernatural power. So in many places, witches, mages, and arcane masters are inherently inseparable enemies of the gods!

It's because the gods have been studied and understood so thoroughly that trying to make witches condescend to believe in the gods...it's a great shame!

"Have you no other way for me to study this holy book of wisdom than to become a follower of Jero?" Grim muttered discontentedly.

"Drops, the Holy Book of Wisdom is actually a book of faith that records the divine origin and characteristics of divine power, and to parse the contents of it, it's not the physical eye that is relying on the experience of spiritual power... Changing the frequency of the self's spiritual fluctuations to match the divine power fluctuations within is the only way to read this book! "

"If it's simply a matter of changing the frequency of mental fluctuations, rather than changing the letter, that's acceptable to me. Chip, there are no adverse consequences to doing that, right?"

"Drop, after changing the frequency of mental fluctuations, the subject's thoughts will be subjected to the divine power within the Wisdom Sacrament... Based on the subject's current mental strength, as long as it does not exceed 27 minutes and 53 seconds, no thought mutation will occur.... After reading the sacred texts, the subject needs a long period of deep meditation to counteract the encroachment of the sacred texts' divine power..."

"Thought variation? What kind of thought variation?"

"It is the subject who accepts the divine information stored inside the sacred book, agrees intellectually with part of that God of Wisdom's philosophy, and becomes a pan-disciple of the other..."

A panbeliever is not a true believer, but one who partially agrees with the actions and philosophy of a particular deity. Their beliefs are not firm, or even can be called extremely thin, and they are easily disturbed by outside interference to change the object of their faith.

"Pan Believers? That doesn't seem so hard to accept!" Grim fought his chin and hesitated a bit.

"Dripping, becoming a pan believer is only the first step in divine infiltration. As the subject reads the holy book for an accumulated amount of time and times, the level of belief will also deepen. Therefore, it is most crucial to promptly perform deep meditation after reading and discard the residual effects of divine power fluctuations!"

"Understood! Chip, when I start reading the sacred texts later, remember to record and monitor my mental changes. Alert and interrupt me promptly if there are any signs of thought mutations!"

"Drip, subject commands received....full datamining of subject spirit underway....real time monitoring of spirit dynamics has begun... "

With the chip as a guarantee, Grim was able to put his mind at ease and refocus on the first page of the holy book.

God was omnipotent!

It was written in a bizarre language that Grim did not recognize at all.

By all rights, Grim shouldn't have been able to recognize such fancy, ghost-like, otherworldly writing. However, what was surprising was that when Grim placed his eyes on these words, their meanings naturally emerged in his mind like a book.

There was no need to interpret them, no need to identify them at all, from the moment he saw them, Grim naturally understood their meanings!

Grim was not surprised by this.

This was because most high level sorcery books also had the same effect.

Therefore, interpreting such books relied not on the eyes, but the spirit!

Grim's eyes gazed at this short line of text, and his spirit was suddenly pulled into another world as if he had entered a bizarre fantasy world. In that world, Grim was like a completely transparent and invisible person, following a deity and witnessing the other party exerting their divine power, gathering bit matter, and using their endless greatness to create a bit surface from scratch.

On the first day, the deity performed the 'Creation Magic'.

Countless tiny and real strange substances tumbled out from all over the Endless Star Sea and converged together....

On the second day, the gods created the Bitworld.

Using divine power as a binder, the deity held the tiny particles together and created the continents and oceans for the creatures of the plane to flourish.

On the third day, the deity isolated the energy storm.

When the bit world was created, the deity condensed his power and formed a large bubble to envelop the bit world, isolating it from the outside influences of the endless sea of stars.

On the fourth day, the deity created light.

At the moment when the membrane was raised, the surface world was completely formed, but it was so dark that it was impossible to see anything. Therefore, the deity dragged the sun, moon and stars from the depths of the starry sea and placed them on the vault of the bit world.

On the fifth day, the deity created life.

The world was vast, but it was just a thin glass ball in the hands of a great deity. The deity lay down on the glass sphere and blew a breath into it.

On the sixth day, the gods created an intelligent race.

The bit world became increasingly active and colorful, and the deity shaped an intelligent race according to his own form and sent them inside the bit.

This was the leader the deity assigned to the bit world!

On the seventh day, the deity became the guardian of the bit world.

Having done this, the deity also began to sleep in order to regain his power. And the deity's power condensed into a human or an elf or an orc (depending on the race of the reader) and began to walk the world, spreading civilization and faith....

During the seven days of watching the creation of the deity, Grim's spiritual fluctuation was gradually in harmony with the deity, and he understood some of the laws of heaven and earth that were usually hard to touch from this pioneering act.

However, just as Grim was immersed in this great divine power of raising his hand to create the world and overturning it to destroy it, the entire illusion suddenly began to crumble and shake due to a sudden alarm.

"Drip, warning, warning, subject mind has been infiltrated by alien energy, approaching critical mass... Wake up procedure initiated instantly..."

The spiritually condensed Grim looked around dazedly, only to see the entire heavens and earth rapidly crumbling and collapsing. The originally magnificent and resplendent sea of stars suddenly ruptured, and a star turned into a scorching ball of fire and fell from the dome of the sky.

The entire world began to burn silently....

In reality, Grim, who was sitting motionless in front of the stone table, suddenly held his head in his hands and began to loudly and painfully mouth this up. The eyes that were out of focus, however, became radiant, flexible and alert again in a burst of severe headache.

Grim took a deep breath, finally completely free of that bizarre illusion of near-reality and nothingness.

"Chip, start self-testing and provide me with a test report!"

"Drip, mission accepted...self-test begins..."

"Drip-drip-drip, self-test complete...self-test report being generated..."

With a shake of light, Grim's mind projected a screen of light that quickly painted his mental state.

Target organism: Grim (subject)

Target level: 4th primary

Target status: semi-regular shaman (fire specialization)

Target base data: Strength 27 (11) Physique 32 (14) Agility 18 (8) Spirituality 41 (29)

Target bloodline: star beast bloodline (unknown)

Target Body: Chaotic Body

Target identity: the heart of the rule

Target state: the original source is traumatized and in a state of soul weakness (total weakening of physical attributes); mental consciousness is infested with alien energy and is in the process of mind mutation....

Ever since returning from the Morian Plane with an injury, Grim had been in a state of soul weakness, and the direct consequence of this was that his physical attributes had brushed down. If it wasn't for the support of a few powerful sorcery weapons on his body, he would have had trouble maintaining even the level of a 4th rank sorcerer.

And now, wounded on top of wound, his spiritual consciousness was being invaded by the God of Wisdom's divine power.

Grim immediately left the chamber without hesitation with a flame jump and hurried back to his residence for deep meditation.

And when he left, the sacred book of wisdom was windlessly turned over to the second page with a brush....
