Chapter 1377 - 541: Secrets
Listening to the words of the Four Divided Gods in front of him.
Alka silently perked up his ears, his expression serious.
Does that mean the Four Divided Gods also made some preparations?
"Do you know about equal exchange?"
Hearing those words.
Alka nodded. If he remembered correctly, the so-called God of Alchemy was integrated into the rule of equal exchange.
Seeing Alka nodding, the Four Divided Gods looked surprised: "It seems you know quite a bit."
"At the time, the leader of the fusion faction was the Divine, the God of Alchemy, whose divinity embodied equal exchange.
I revealed the secret of integrating equal exchange into divinity to him."
As the Four Divided Gods spoke, Alka suddenly understood.
"So, are you saying those Divines could integrate themselves into divinity to give the rules a certain consciousness because of you?"
"Don’t say it so harshly; they wanted to do it themselves, and given more time, they certainly would have succeeded.
It’s just that time was scarce then, with war breaking out, so I told them ahead of time.
At most, I merely accelerated the process for them."
Hearing this.
Alka couldn’t help but ask: "Do you know about the 12 Towers of Trial?"
"Yes, though by the time the Towers of Trial were built, I had already been divided again and again, but the planning for them existed long before that.
If you’re aware of the Towers of Trial, seek them out; they will bring significant change to this world, you won’t be disappointed."
Upon hearing this, Alka said: "I’m already on the path of searching."
"Oh, really? Seems the situation outside isn’t good."
"Yes, the Demons have invaded once more, and the gods are returning to start invading the world again."
Alka summed up the situation outside.
The Four Divided Gods nodded: "Indeed, it’s not good. But I can hardly offer any more help to this world."
"One of your divided selves has become one of the four gods outside, currently resisting those returning Divines."
"Is that so? It must be the purest wisdom."
Clearly, the Four Divided Gods comprehended that one of their divided selves became a Divine.
It seems this part was left in the river of history with the intent of the Four Divided Gods completely dispersing themselves. And it never left that river again.
"So, did you leave a part of your consciousness here to tell me about some plans and preparations you’ve made when I arrive?"
Looking at the God of the World, Alka asked.
"No, quite the opposite. What I said just a moment ago was just casual talk. What I truly wish is to observe you and give you a warning."
Speaking without waiting for Alka to reply, he directly said.
"After hearing about my experiences, do you still wish to continue using the eye that sees secrets?"
Hearing this, Alka nodded.
To be honest, this eye is very useful and incredibly helpful given the current situation; it’s probably his greatest trump card.
Especially at this time, Alka couldn’t possibly abandon it.
The Four Divided Gods nodded: "You actually admitted it."
"Not admitting it would seem hypocritical, wouldn’t it? How could anyone not use it?"
"You’re right."
"But as I mentioned, you can certainly use the eye that sees secrets, but I must warn you to restrain your curiosity in the end.
Limit your use, set rules for using the eye yourself. Otherwise, you’ll meet the same fate as me.
This is the inevitable consequence brought by the secret eye; no one can escape it; it’s inherent.
When you’re strong enough, and certain opportunities arise, perhaps abandoning this eye is for the best."
"Don’t be complacent, don’t think you can control the eye, don’t think you’re unique."
The Four Divided Gods spoke silently.
He was exactly like that once. Do you think he never realized the consequences of this secret eye?
Of course, he knew.
He just couldn’t quite escape it, believing himself to be a genius undoubtedly able to control the eye, feeling unique.
Perhaps for others, the consequences were severe, but for himself, they seemed no issue.
Until things grew worse, the Four Divided Gods only set strict rules for himself, limited his use of secrets, and still refused to abandon it.
Greed was slowly eroding him.
Until the secret eye sneakily committed an extremely grave mistake, finally awakening him to make a resolution.
"No problem, I’ve already established rules for myself on how to use the eye, limiting its scenes of use.
Once I’m strong enough, I’ll naturally abandon the secret eye."
Alka spoke with grand seriousness.
Upon hearing Alka’s words, the Four Divided Gods looked at him.
His expression immediately changed, seeming somewhat surprised.
He realized Alka was not lying.
In this stage, Alka truly intends to follow through.
At this stage, at the verge of Ascension to Divinity, when greed, confidence, and all emotions become amplified.
"You really... listen well."
"That may be my greatest strength. I am just receptive enough."
Just like the Four Divided Gods thought, Alka was also very self-aware.
He didn’t rely on many abilities for his journey; it was all this golden finger.
