Chapter 809: Chapter 623: The Sins Igula Has Committed
Igula gradually understood why the Gray Fox Mage used the cumberso yet insignificant chanism of the “Truth Link.”
Because they not only wanted future generations to ‘know,’ but needed them to ‘believe.’
Knowing is far too easy, like knowing there are icebergs in the extre north that feel like they’re on fire, knowing there are mountain-like whales in the deep sea, knowing a girl’s lips are soft, but if you haven’t experienced it personally, you’ll only be stuck at ‘knowing,’ and will soon forget.
People know many truths, yet often live poorly, because they do not genuinely believe. The most interesting aspect of history is its continuous repetition.
This point sufficiently proves the practicality of the “Truth Link”; it is no less effective than “Sanctuary” or the “Twin System”: it allows the youth to grasp the societal truths that require decades of experience to comprehend without the need for undergoing hardships.
Simply put, it truly can prevent successors from repeating the mistakes of their predecessors.
The intelligence recorded by Gwen now covers several walls.
Igula was sowhat worried initially, after all, the information they had ‘copied’ in the Dead City was unverified, akin to unsubstantiated ‘hearsay.’
Can such hearsay, which has not been seen with one’s own eyes, beco fuel for deducing truth?
Of course, it can.
The intelligence compiled in Igula’s hands slowly unfolded the scroll of the past Divine Era. The information left by predecessors wasn’t definitive intelligence like “What was the Fire Cat Era” or “What was the Blue Bird Era,” but rather scattered and miscellaneous worldview intelligence like “I saw murals inherited from the Fire Cat Era in so ruins,” “Gray Fox Era’s customs and habits” that, upon careful recognition, corroborated each other.
Historical data and observations from different eras and people built a real past in Igula’s mind. Even though he had never seen primary sources or the ntioned ruins, the tight logical relationships among the materials were enough to dissipate his skepticism completely.
This is the significance of the “Truth Link”: it will not tell you that the truth itself is worthless, it requires you to convince yourself.
“Which Great Skill can open the Divine Era, has nothing to do with the number of Believers, or the strength of forces.”
In the ruined house, Igula looked around at everyone and said, “The main influencing factor is only the will of Lord Senluo Zhan.”
“Whatever Divine Being He needs, that Great Skill will unify Senluo.”
Gwen’s face was deathly pale. Qikara’s Beastman face was hard for everyone to read in detail, but the loss in his eyes was plainly visible; the masked Black Crow seed unaffected, but when Ash patted his shoulder, he couldn’t help but shake slightly.
They did not refute because the materials were compiled by them into this room.
More than a thousand years ago, the Fire Cat Sect was just an inconspicuous sect on the land, but from so point in ti, sects opposing it began to experience accidents, and even Believers defected to the Fire Cat Sect. When it was in the spotlight and attracted nearby sieges, the major sects ‘Fangyuan Cicada’ and ‘Chasing Light’ both proactively allied with it, ultimately leading the Fire Cat Sect to dominate the north of Senluo.
At the sa ti, in the south of Senluo, the Golden Rule Sect also dominated the neighboring areas. Its rise traced almost the sa path as the Fire Cat Sect, erging from obscurity and suddenly dominating the south within ten years. Its tenet was ‘letting Technique Spirits work automatically,’ which, though differed from the Fire Cat Sect’s ‘enabling ordinary people to drive Technique Spirits,’ resulted in the sa outco—maximizing the productivity of Technique Spirits.
If this example is not sufficient, there are the examples of the Blue Bird Era and the Gray Fox Era—because of the Divine Fire System, the Kingdom of Senluo no longer needed wars to determine the Divine Era, but resorted to a similar election thod. Initially, the Great Skills of the Blue Bird and Gray Fox were only at the bottom of the election list, but all rival Great Skills without exception encountered accidents.
Even though the public preferred other faiths, the phenonon of Great Skills perishing during the Divine Fire elections beca blatant black box operations.
Therefore, the impact on Qikara and others was so significant: they always thought, although the Great Skill would ascend to godhood, which Great Skill was chosen, which sect could unify Senluo, was determined by the will of the Believers.
They believed they were engaging in fair trade with Lord Senluo Zhan, that they still had the freedom to choose their faith.
However, the information left here told them—it was not the case, which Great Skill would open the Divine Era had nothing to do with the Senluoians at all, it solely depended on what kind of Divine Being Lord Senluo Zhan needed.
Ash and others were even more touched.
Whether it’s the Blood Moon, Gospel, or Senluo, the Divine Lord would influence the thoughts of the public through various ans. Perhaps it was for better harvesting, such as in Senluo; maybe it was for easy governance, such as in Blood Moon; or perhaps for social experintation, like in Gospel.
But without exception, the Divine Lord would turn His mind into the mind of heaven, and indeed, They had the ability to create the world They required.
It’s hard to say whether this is good or bad, because even without the Divine Lord, there would be other existences filling the power vacuum—power doesn’t have a Master, but it always has soone who claims to be the Master.
“…That little brat Lord Senluo Zhan, if He wants a certain Great Skill, just say it, why make us compete over and over? If He says it, would we not bow?” Qikara quickly shook off the mud of worldview collapse, muttering curses: “Should just beat His butt with a cane.”
