Me and countless me.

Chapter 492 Shepherd

Li Ke didn't even feel anything, just like he hit an ant while driving on the street. It seemed that he felt something, but it was also normal to say that he didn't feel anything.

After all, it always feels a little different.

As this strange thing was killed, some memory fragments were also transmitted to Li Ke's mind. There were not many, and many of them were all about various debauchery, but one thing was certain.

That dead book is very useful! And there are no side effects, because in order to prevent his family from knowing that he secretly took out the book, the noble who wanted to eat him spent a lot of money to eliminate the tracking "mystery" on the book!
So just like before, Li Ke picked up the book without any hesitation, and then quickly fled to the place where Tang Seng Li Ke had set for himself.

The reason why we believe in Tang Monk Li Ke is very simple, because this person calculated the autobiography of the planet he was on based on his memory of customs, air humidity, constellations, and the surrounding environment through air humidity and various conditions, as well as the memories in his mind.

It can't be considered fortune-telling, it can only be considered as feng shui. In essence, it is a simulation and calculation based on the data of the natural world. It just requires a bit of computing power. It's not something that can be played around with by a person with great powers.

Although there was still a big deviation in reality, when he walked out of the slums and it was almost dawn, he successfully came to the wasteland not far from the urban area and came to the vicinity of a stream.

The stream is relatively clean and looks very clear. It should be groundwater from a nearby spring. There are also many shady caves nearby. Although it can be seen that there should be traces of fishermen and other people living here, at least there is no one here at this moment.

Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived here. After looking around vigilantly, he put down his luggage and began to take a bath with soap in the stream. He also shaved his hair short with the razor given by the other party so that the fleas and ticks on his body had nowhere to hide. Finally, he applied insect repellent ointment and medicine to heal the festering wounds.

He did not throw away his worn-out clothes, but soaked them in the water. Then he put on new clothes, opened the canned food and solid fuel provided by the other party, lit a fire to keep warm, and stewed the greasy canned beef.

He skillfully sliced ​​the bread and toasted it on the fire until both sides were browned. A faint burnt aroma was emitted due to the reaction of the cheese, but his mouth was not idle either. He kept chewing the bread, indulging in the aroma of bread, butter, and cheese.

The sweet and salty taste mixed together, coupled with the sweet taste of wheat, made Li Ke's saliva continuously secrete, and then he couldn't help but savor the taste. He didn't even have time to swallow it all, and couldn't help but take another bite.

The beef rolled in the fat, emitting an enticing aroma. The morning sun's rays reflected a golden glow on the fat, making Li Ke feel as if he was stewing gold.

But Li Ke endured his hunger. He extinguished the fire, waited for the beef to cool down to the right temperature, and then opened the Dead Book.

Because the noble's soul was shattered too badly, he did not get much of its memory. He only knew that the noble could really cast spells, and that the book was very precious. So he dipped the bread in his hand in some grease, and then while flipping through the book, he replenished his strength and nutrition.

The book is written in Latin, but many characters are from ancient Egyptian and even Hebrew. Most of the descriptions in the ancient Egyptian text are about the stories of "Ra" and the gods Osiris and Anubis, but the most are the stories of the sun god Ra, describing a being full of light, omniscient and omnipotent.

The same is true for the Hebrew text, but it talks about the 'Lord', but the description is still a text that is full of light and omniscient and omnipotent. Then the Latin text is 'Zeus', which is also described as a being full of light and omniscient and omnipotent.

However, the rest of the book is clearly a series of notes, filled with speculation about the 'Lord' and the concept of divinity.

Divinity emerges from human nature. Ordinary human nature is useless, but if 'human nature' is pure enough and constantly sublimated under the embrace of emotions, it may be upgraded to divinity.

People with divinity are immune to most magical attacks, and their souls will become extremely heavy. Even if this person weighs only a dozen kilograms, if his soul appears in the real world, it may weigh millions of tons.

And the more passionate the emotions of a person who possesses divinity, the stronger his divinity will be, and the more powerful the magic power he can use will be.

But most people who possess divinity are simply unable to use it, and may even lose it due to a change in their mentality or a lack of firm will. However, with just a few small tricks, people who understand magic and mystical studies can collect and use this divinity.

A hungry mother sacrifices her own blood for her children, and thus gains a divinity. At this time, if her soul is imprisoned, crushed and purified, one can obtain the divinity called maternal love, which makes the person with this divinity full of maternal love and compassion, and when faced with matters concerning 'offspring', one can exert powerful strength and even enhance the effect of the divinity.

Moreover, the extracted divinity will not really change a person's personality, which can be said to be extremely wonderful.

Not only that, if the souls of these people are used to sacrifice to certain gods, one can also obtain the knowledge of the gods, and even use the power of the gods to use all kinds of incredible powers!
You can even use 'divinity' to set constraints for yourself, perform oath magic, and make yourself abide by certain behaviors and constraints, so as to gain more powerful power, or even -

Become a god!

"So, the other party's sacrifice means to devour the souls of those people..."

Li Ke clenched the pages of the book in his hand and continued to flip through them, but what followed were various ritual magics, most of which were related to resurrecting the dead and summoning souls. Li Ke also found the green spell that almost made him lose his will.

Domination of Humanity. This spell allows a person of high status to dominate people of lower status without distinction, and the other person does not even need to sincerely believe that you are nobler than him. As long as you feel that you are nobler than the other person, and the other person also thinks that you feel that you are nobler than him, then this spell will work.

Even when it cannot take effect, it will produce a certain delay and immobilization effect, which can be said to be a very practical spell. The only drawback is that this spell must be maintained all the time. Once the spell is stopped, the effect will disappear instantly.

Li Ke turned his wrist and chanted an Egyptian spell. A green light appeared on his hand, but it soon went out because Li Ke felt the consumption of his mental strength. His young body felt tired after only a moment, so he immediately stopped casting spells and ended his consumption.

"It doesn't consume magic power, but consumes one's own attention. It's the same mechanism as in the Harry Potter world. It seems to be somewhat useful."

Li Ke continued to read, and suddenly felt speechless.

Because the spell to resurrect the dead can indeed resurrect the dead, but it can only resurrect a little bit. The dead resurrected by this book cannot see the sun and cannot touch any food that has been exposed to the sun, otherwise they will be burned. They will die again every seven days and must use the resurrection ceremony again to be resurrected. In addition, embalming must be prepared during this period, otherwise the resurrected person will be sick and even rotten alive.

However, this resurrection ceremony requires three days of preparation and consumes a huge amount of divine power, which is totally beyond the reach of ordinary nobles.

Or the skin and soul of the deceased can be peeled off while the deceased is still alive. The leather products with souls will always have consciousness and feelings, but will not be able to speak, wail, or even escape. The only effect is to increase the shelf life of the leather products.

Then, there is a kind of Holy Name Magic, or Contract Magic.

This kind of magic will bind you firmly to a certain place or a certain person, making it impossible for you to do anything harmful to this place without harming your own interests. However, you will also gain some power as a result, and your name must also be added with the name of this place, person, or thing.

If it is the name of your parents, you can get their talents and skills to a certain extent. If it is the name of your hometown, then you can get some of the characteristics of your hometown in the impression of others, or even special abilities.

For example, if your hometown is said to be brave, then you will become braver, less likely to be scared away by things, and your resistance to mental spells will also increase or decrease.

If it is a certain person or a certain event, it depends on your situation in the event, as well as the person's reputation and your opinion of this person, and you will get various special effects, and even a force that increases the lethality to a certain person or a certain place.

You can even enhance the oath magic mentioned before, and use it together with the holy name magic to greatly enhance the effects of the holy name magic and contract magic, and even gain some powerful and strange abilities.

Among the cases in this book, Li Ke also saw many people who, after making vows and performing holy name magic on themselves, moved their actions and power in this direction, thus possessing all kinds of peculiar qualities.

Some people follow the path of wealth and can pick up a piece of gold every day, while others run faster and faster, even surpassing the ability of spells, and some can even know what you are thinking without casting any magic just by looking into your eyes.

However, Holy Name Magic has a big flaw, which is that it cannot fail. Once the things associated with the Holy Name fail or violate the impression of the general public, or the impression itself is very bad, then the effect of the Holy Name Magic can easily become negative.

Moreover, this book does not discuss oath magic and holy name magic in great detail. Most of it is about the arguments of gods and demigods, and the ways to summon gods, the names of various ancient Egyptian gods and demigods, and the rituals and terms needed to communicate with them. There is also more magic related to the dead, but most of it is as abstract as the seven-day resurrection method.

There are some magic spells that can actually resurrect people, but they basically require the help of gods, and most of them have serious negative effects. For example, the resurrection method of the god Osiris will inevitably leave many scars and stitches on his body, and consume a lot of gold and gems.

The only cheap and practical one is Isis. Each time a ritual is performed, a person can be completely resurrected, but it requires a huge maternal divinity and wife-related divinity to establish a connection with the other party, and the resurrected person cannot resist aging, and each resurrection will greatly overdraw the lifespan. The notes above also indicate that one resurrection will consume about 30 years of lifespan, and there are many cases of death of old age just after resurrection.

Then, the magic arts with the most notes are those related to increasing youth and longevity, but they require something that is very common and can only be obtained when struggling between life and death.

The divinity associated with 'staying alive'.

It can be said that as long as it is 'divinity', there is no place where it cannot be used, and every kind of divinity is in demand by countless people.

After reading the book, Li Ke finally understood why the noble attacked him immediately after seeing him. It was because the anger and will to resist burning in his eyes were flames of the divinity of resistance in the eyes of the noble. Moreover, because of this, his body could show great potential and strength when facing any difficulties, and even show incredible power!
So he wanted the gods to swap their souls, let him own this body, and crush Li Ke's soul, extract the divinity condensed by his rebellious will, and then allow him to navigate various conspiracies without being killed by curses and black magic.

"So, the miserable conditions in the slums are not just for money, but also for divinity? And the happier people are, the more they want to live. So, does that mean that even people who crawl out of the slums will be deliberately killed and fall into despair because of the possibility of giving birth to divinity?"

Li Ke closed his eyes and instantly realized why the people of Great Britain were so miserable!

"We are the sheep, the sheep shepherded by these nobles, businessmen, kings, and churches!"
