Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Chapter 442 Questions and Answers

The favored ones of the God of Steam and Machinery can indeed be called the favored ones of knowledge and civilization. Although Roselle has almost turned into the form of the Mother Goddess, as long as the Demon of Knowledge or the Lord of Mystery appears, you can still get something. The life-saving grace I received from you should be repaid by working part-time!

Renekton curled his lips slightly, and quickly calmed down his thoughts. He raised his head with feeling, and saw Botis looking at him intently, and the index finger of his right hand holding the cane moved slightly, as if Thinking about words.

After a moment of silence, Botis asked in a deep voice:

"Great Emperor Russell is still alive? And has he already reached that point?"

"If the other party is Emperor Russell, it wouldn't be worth marveling at, would it?"

Renekton responded with a chuckle, and at the same time sighed in his heart that even though he had just become a god, he was killed by the Eternal Burning Sun.

The expression on Botis's face changed from confusion to realization, and then he nodded gently and said:

"Indeed, that is Emperor Russell. No, it is not surprising at all that he has achieved such an achievement."

"So, Russell's appearance was the plan of the 'Erudition' from the beginning? To promote the development of the times?"

"No." Renekton shook his head slightly, facing the curious eyes of the people around him, and said with a chuckle:

"The 'Knowledge One' never actively interferes with the development and operation of the world. He only exists objectively, watching and recording everything in the world."

"Whenever a life bursts out with a spark of wisdom due to thinking, He will cast his gaze, and a true wise man can use this to catch a glimpse of Him from the boundless knowledge and mysteries, and become His fellow travelers."

Fellow traveler Botis narrowed his eyes slightly and said without much fluctuation in his tone:

"The 'Black Saint' occasionally mentions the 'Creator' and the 'Knowledge One' together. You are their envoy at the same time, so which one do you think is greater?"

Renekton looked around casually and saw the curious expressions of the people around him. He probably understood the reason for Botis's question. He chuckled and said:

"Their greatness is not something you and I can judge. Everyone has their own standards of measurement."

"But if you must make a forced comparison, you can understand it this way:

The 'Creator' is the creator of all things. Whether it is the earth under our feet, the vast starry sky above our heads, or you, as well as all life on this earth, all originate from the 'Creator'. His greatness goes without saying. "

The 'knowledgeable' is the embodiment of knowledge and civilization. This is the biggest difference between us and ordinary animals, because we have developed our own civilization and are still making progress. Knowledge and civilization have no end, so we will never see the 'knowledgeable' It is impossible to truly know His greatness without seeing the whole picture of Him. "

"If you think the existence of the world and the world itself are more important, then you can think of the 'Creator' as being greater. If you think that the future, which is full of fog and uncertainty, is more important, then you can think of the 'Knower' as being greater."

"Of course, from my personal point of view, there is no difference between them as to who is greater. What really affects our judgment is what path we have taken!"

Botis nodded lightly and took two steps forward, and said in a deep voice:

"It turns out that if I hadn't already determined my own path, I might have considered walking with knowledge and mystery."

Facing Renekton's confused and incredulous look, he chuckled and explained:

"My original intention of becoming an extraordinary person was not just for the extraordinary power, but actually to change myself and change their view of me."

"As my relatives passed away one by one, I gradually forgot about this original goal."

Botis's eyes became much deeper, and there seemed to be complicated emotions flowing through him. With a slight sigh, he ignored the topic and said instead:

"As the envoy of the 'Learned One', what do you think of our future? Will the Southern Continent be as prosperous as the Northern Continent now?"

Butis's question has received the approval and expectations of everyone around him. As natives of the Southern Continent, they have lived in lands colonized by all parties since childhood. There may be a small number of people who are content with the status quo, but there are more People still hope to establish a new country that belongs to their own people in the Southern Continent, a country that is as prosperous as the countries in the Northern Continent.

Renekton looked around, taking in the expressions of everyone around him. Then he condensed a burning match again and said with a chuckle:

"The future is uncertain, but I can show you a future that I can foresee, a future that is recognized by the 'knowledgeable ones'."

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the flames on the match became hazy and blurred, and colorful lights flickered everywhere. As their eyes narrowed, they realized that the lights of different colors were all light.

This is a city where tall buildings with strange shapes stand tall. Colorful lights illuminate every part of the city, revealing a strange scene that perfectly combines machinery and architecture. It has a strange beauty that does not belong to this era.

Roads that intersect in complex ways like a spider web connect every part of the city. Steam trains of different shapes stop and go on the streets, and there are also many airships with strange shapes hovering over the city.

"Is this light? Why are there so many colors?"

"There are also many lamps made into characters, just like the shop signs."

“The houses here are so tall!”

“Those steamy coffin carts?”

There were a lot of discussions around him, and even the "Saint of Secrets" Botis stared at this illusion in surprise.

"Even an illusion needs a real existence to appear so realistic, but does this kind of strange and magnificent city really exist? Even Backlund, who is known as the 'Capital of Ten Thousand Capitals', has nothing to do with this city. Too far apart.”

"Incredible city, completely beyond my imagination. Is this the future?"

Botis did not deliberately lower his voice. He was not only asking himself, but also guiding the people around him.

Renekton chuckled, nodded, and responded in a leisurely tone:

"The future is never fixed. It will diverge differently depending on every choice we make. This is the most suitable future chosen by the 'knowledgeable ones'."

"The fifth era is coming to an end. Before the real doomsday comes, the 'Erudition' will truly appear to lead the wave of the era, push the development of the era to the best future, and open up the sixth era."

"This is the struggle between civilization and doomsday!" Botis nodded lightly towards Renekton, and then stopped asking questions. Instead, he turned his attention to the crowd around him and saw the emotions flickering in their eyes, although he could not reach it. Now I believe in the "Learned One", but I also recognize the other person's teachings.

Under the guidance of the Lord, Protestantism is working hard to change people's current situation, help them live a better life in this world full of suffering, and let them see a little hope, but the teachings of the "Learned One" are telling them that they should improve yourself, to create a better future of your own.

No wonder they would unite. In addition to joining forces to fight against the Seven Gods and many evil gods, their ideas also agree with each other to a certain extent, and there will not be too strong conflicts between believers.

"Master God Envoy, how long will this future last?"

The thoughts in Botis' mind were interrupted by a somewhat abrupt voice. He turned his head to look at Renekton curiously, waiting for the other party's answer. He was also curious about this question.

The match in Renekton's hand also burned out at this time, and the dreamlike scene around him quickly disappeared. The midday sun shone again, bringing everyone who was still a little distracted back to reality.

He turned his body slightly to face the worker who had just asked the question. Under the gaze of his voyeuristic eyes, Renekton could easily tell that his true age was less than thirty years old, but his face looked a little old. He looked weather-beaten, with wrinkles on his forehead, his eyes were very bright, and he was full of confidence in his life.

Renekton chuckled and nodded to him:

"It won't be long. When the wave of the times reaches its peak, when the 'Learned One' arrives in person, it won't be more than ten years."

"Not more than ten years? That's great, that's great."

"Yeah, I still have no problem living for another ten years."

"There was a meandering river in that miraculous city just now. Is that the Pas Valley in the future?"

"Lord God Envoy, is it really possible to build such a city in less than ten years?"

Various voices sounded one after another. Renekton chuckled and said in a leisurely and mysterious tone:

"This world is not only filled with ordinary people, but also with various machines, extraordinary people, and gods!"

The surrounding area suddenly became quiet, so quiet that Renekton seemed to hear the sound of swallowing saliva.

After a while, someone murmured:

"Was that a city created by gods just now? No wonder, I always feel that it is like a miracle."

Renekton stood aside silently, quietly listening to the discussions of the people around him, without trying to explain more to them.

With the current level of technology in this world, it is indeed difficult to build a city that is close to cyberpunk. Even relying on the abilities of extraordinary people is difficult. Except for the perfect person, even if he cannot completely restore it himself, it will not be too bad. many.

After waiting for a moment, until the voices of discussion around him died down, Renekton said with a smile:

"That's it for today's sermon. I will come again at this time next week. If you are interested, you can come here at the same time and wait."

As soon as he finished speaking, the radiance in his eyes suddenly surged, and the bright stars reflected from his eyes, scattering stars around him.

These starlights have no temperature at all, but are extremely sacred. Anyone who is illuminated by the starlights clearly feels that their minds have become much clearer, and the discomfort caused by sitting cross-legged all the time has been wiped away.

The scattered starlight did not last long, and in just a few breaths, they dissipated along with the condensed radiance in Renekton's eyes.

"The soreness in my body disappeared immediately. It's amazing!"

"Is this the ability of extraordinary people?"

The crowd started talking again, but this time they stopped quickly because someone bolder asked a question that concerned all of them:

"Master God Envoy, can we become extraordinary?"

Botis looked at Renekton curiously and didn't know what he would answer. According to the theory of the Aurora Society, it was possible, but the number of extraordinary characteristics was constant. It was impossible to prepare a potion for everyone, even if it was only Sequence Nine. Nope either.

Renekton curled his lips. He casually showed off his extraordinary abilities just to wait for this question.

He turned his head to look at the young worker who asked the question, and said with a chuckle:

"Yes, any creature can become an extraordinary person."

"Currently known, there are two ways to become an extraordinary person. One is the current mainstream potion system. You can be promoted by taking the corresponding potion. However, the number of potions is limited, so you can become an extraordinary person by taking the potion. After all, there are only a few extraordinary people.”

At this point, he gradually slowed down his tone and made his voice deeper:

"The second method is the spiritual warlock who gains power through knowledge. This is the system of the 'knowledgeable one'. Any intelligent creature can step into it, even a rabbit or a kitten. As long as there is enough wisdom, You have the qualifications to become a spiritual warlock.”

"Unlike the potion system, the spiritual world warlock system has no limit on quantity, but it has high requirements for knowledge. It needs to gain power by exploring mysteries and mastering knowledge, and relies on the spiritual world to show substantial extraordinary abilities."
