Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 385 God descends!

The reappearance of the "Hidden Sage" is even more aura than when he first appeared.

Previously, he spared no effort to change the terrain of the battlefield. On the surface, it was to attract the crazy god "True Creator" here, but in reality it was to leave coordinates and information media, so as to enter the God-forsaken Land more conveniently.

Although it was inevitably weakened due to not choosing the right path to enter the God-Forsaken Land, the damage was also reduced.

He is now approaching the activated uniqueness of his heyday, contaminated by the two source substances, "Wilderness of Knowledge" and "Mother Nest", and his status is close to that of a god!
Lu Ke tossed the crystal in his hand, which condensed a vast amount of knowledge and contained countless pieces of information, and played with the "corpse" of the "Hidden Sage" in front of him with a joking tone.

"I didn't think it would be that easy to kill you. After all, for someone in such a high position who has survived to this day, there is no such thing as an easy death."

The "Hidden Sage" did not communicate, his eyes were cold, and countless black and white eyeballs appeared on his huge body, and new illusory symbols appeared in the eyeballs.

They are not complicated, just simple numbers.

One is "0" and the other is "1".

Numbers do not directly possess power, they only bring corresponding mystical implications, but one of the core abilities of the "Hidden Sage" is to give power to numbers, giving them true, unique, and much weaker symbolic power than the original!

Among them, "0" represents chaos, the unknown, and the period before everything happened; "1" represents the beginning, the beginning, and the creator who created this world.

Those "0" and "1" in the black and white eyeballs connected end to end, and flowed rapidly in the transparent tunnel formed by the eyeballs, from "0" to "1", and from "1" to "0", from nothing to something, and from something to nothing.

With the appearance and flow of "0" and "1" one by one, the edge of this God-forsaken land, which was once a desert, changed instantly.

Mountains and hills, lakes and oceans, the cracked earth, the twisted monsters, and even the darkness and lightning that shrouded the place, everything presented countless "0"s and "1".

These numbers quickly changed from "1" to "0". When all the numbers of things became "0", they turned into chaos and completely collapsed.

Many numbers also appeared on Lu Ke's body, but the changes were extremely slow. It was not only because the "sage" as an "information creature" had a certain resistance to transformation, but also because of his "personality"!
The old personhood cannot be easily shaken, even if it is not real enough.

Although status does not directly provide strength, many ability effects are determined by the level of status.

Faced with the killing move of this almost god-like being, Lu Ke was not in a hurry to borrow strength from his original body.

He smiled slowly, and his body became transparent and illusory, as if he had ascended to a higher latitude, and the numbers on his body surface also became slower.

Then, Lu Ke snapped his fingers, neither light nor heavy.

As he moved, a seal in the distance was opened.

……

St. George's Quarter, St. Hilleran's Church.

In the secret prayer room, Archbishop Hormila, the head of the Backlund District of the Steam Church, was praying to the triangular holy emblem.

In front of the triangular holy emblem, on an exquisite and gorgeous bracket, there was an object with a metallic luster and inlaid with silver sequins. It was a holy object sent by the new "God's Favored One" Fors.

At this moment, this holy object suddenly emitted a dazzling light, the blockade inside was lifted, the uninterpretable knowledge revealed its true appearance, and a vast amount of knowledge was fully presented.

Hormila's eyes fixed, and with a solemn expression he outlined the pattern of the triangular holy emblem on his chest.

"Great God of Steam and Machinery, you are the embodiment of essence, you are the protector of craftsmen, you are the glory of technology."

……

Astral realm.

It is more abstract than the spiritual world, and encompasses the realm of all authority and symbols of the entire universe.

In an imaginary kingdom composed of countless precision machines and gears, powered by a large number of steam engines of different specifications, a hazy light slowly lights up.

The hazy and clear light is thick and magnificent, as if it embodies the civilization of the entire human history and represents the enlightenment and development of human society in different periods and stages.

……

A place abandoned by God.

The Hidden Sage suddenly began to tremble continuously, and he suddenly became panic-stricken, as if something bad was about to happen.

The next second, a figure emerged from the void behind him.

He was a tall man with a pair of plain glasses on his nose, a few light yellow beards on his face, well-developed chest muscles and strong arms, which almost stretched his blue shirt to the point of tearing it apart.

Stiano!

This is exactly the character that Lu Ke pulled out from the historical projection during his preparation!
He was not the real God of Steam and Machinery, but an incarnation who had visited Luke and had a drink with him. At this moment, the dull eyes of this "historical projection" had become full of spirit, and there were misty and clear lights in his eyes.

He was doubly covered by "unknown" and "secret" from the moment he came out, and stayed away from the battlefield until Lu Ke gave the signal, and then he came here.

The most suitable person to deal with a high-ranking person with strong life-preserving ability must be a higher-ranking person in the current path or the adjacent path.

"The Mysterious Peeper" and "The Universalist" are the two adjacent paths corresponding to the source substance "Wild Knowledge". The former represents the knowledge related to mysticism, while the latter is more inclined to the reality side.

After all, the "Hidden Sage" is only an Angel King with "uniqueness" and "Emperor of Knowledge". In essence, he is not even as good as the strongest Angel Kings, such as "Mr. Gate", "Amon" or "Adam".

It's just that because he's been contaminated by the source material, he has some special features and seems to be stronger than the ordinary Angel King.

Stiano said nothing, and the moment he appeared, his body transformed into one projection-like scroll after another and pounced towards the "Hidden Sage".

Some of those paintings recorded the powerlessness and misery of humans facing extraordinary species, some recreated in epic style the scene of humans using themselves as experimental subjects to fuse extraordinary materials in order to gain strength and save their race, some described Russell’s propaganda and speeches, showing steam engines and various inventions derived from them, and some carried countless advanced technologies newly acquired from Luke, depicting a brand new but unformed great blueprint...

The painting scroll carrying countless histories of human civilization instantly came before the "Hidden Sage" composed of complex information and illusory light resembling a giant python. The moment the two came into contact, they began to blend and entangle!

Feeling threatened, the "Hidden Sage" struggled frantically, causing the thick scroll to break and reassemble again and again.

Even if he is attacked by surprise, or even if he is restrained by a higher-level being in an adjacent path, the "Hidden Sage" in his true form is still stronger than the "Historical Projection" that is remotely supported by the True God.

"The mystery here is weakened, and reality is strengthened!"

Lu Ke stood at a higher latitude, chanting calmly and indifferently.

He did not use the conventional law, but combined the power of the "law" to imitate the "contract" of the original body and analyze the twisted and chaotic rules of the "djinn" to create a "judgment" that was not so fair. Both parties must abide by the law, and the "judgment" is dictated by him. Who is affected and how much is affected are all controlled by him.

Although referring to the "Distortion" of "Black Emperor" and the "Extraordinary Deal" of "Uncertain Mist", "Judgment" is not as powerful as "Decree", but it is more flexible and in line with the heart.

The aura of the "Hidden Sage" suddenly dropped, and in contrast, Stiano's aura rose and fell. He was on the realistic side, but his body at this moment was the "historical projection" of the mysterious side.

Lu Ke acted like a master of balancing the two sides, moving them from a situation where the "Hidden Sage" clearly had the upper hand to a stalemate with both sides, no more, no less.

The "Hidden Sage" who was in trouble twisted his body frantically, trying to disperse into multiple streams of information to escape but found that he could not do it. He uttered invisible and terrifying roars and mutters.

As the evil voice echoed, a strange scene appeared in the hazy sky.

It was a wilderness shrouded in gray fog, seemingly unreal and illusory. Above the wilderness, human figures wandered silently and slowly walked towards the edge. Something covered in blood and towering over the mountains, like a bird's nest or a womb, slowly and unsteadily emerged.

The "Hidden Sage" attempted to "mysteriously reappear" His original place, polluting His "wilderness of knowledge" and the "nest" that gave Him life!
He tried to give Stiano's "historical projection" and the true will of God it carried human nature and new life, thereby betraying his original body and Luke!

Lu Ke frowned as he watched the gradually taking shape of the picture. His body quickly fell back to the current latitude, and the numbers constantly circulating on his body surface had faded.

The next moment, his aura suddenly rose, and dozens of light balls made of countless unknown substances vaguely appeared behind him. The terrifying aura made the struggling "Hidden Sage" tremble uncontrollably.

Lu Ke picked up the upper part of the body of the "Hidden Sage" in his hand, pointed his other hand at the "Hidden Sage", and pulled hard as if he had touched something heavy.

"Get over here!"

The "Hidden Sage" suddenly felt a repulsion between himself and his information body, and the remnants of the previous information that were originally closely related to him produced a terrible suction force.

His will is uncontrollably separated from the current information body.

As consciousness was detached, the process of "mysterious reappearance" was interrupted, the gray wilderness and the mountain-like things disappeared, and the madly struggling illusory giant python also stopped moving and was obediently absorbed by the scroll.

Immediately afterwards, the "Hidden Sage" who had just entered the body of the information wreckage felt the rejection of his body again and felt the attraction of another body.

Only this time, the body that attracted Him became the one that had been sucked into the scroll.

The Hidden Sage felt the breath of death spreading, and he shouted out in despair and fear:

"Let me go! I will be loyal to you!

"Let me go! I'm willing to give you everything you want!"

Lu Ke paused for a moment, as if he was lost in thought.

Seeing this, Stiano's figure appeared on the illusory scroll, his eyes were dark and unclear, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"In this naturally isolated God-forsaken place, at this moment when I have blocked the information, if I kill Him, the information will no longer be transmitted or leaked."

He is now just a "historical projection", and all his strength is used to block the leakage of information about the "Hidden Sage", so he has no ability to influence Lu Ke's thoughts.

"I know, but there is still one step left to complete."

The layered light balls composed of countless unknown substances behind Lu Ke had disappeared. He smiled at the "Hidden Sage" with a calm voice.

"I accept your surrender."

The "Hidden Sage" felt relieved, but before he could show any joy, he saw a pinch of light blue and black flame on Lu Ke's fingertips, and he gently flicked it at the scroll that sealed the "Hidden Sage".

In the face of Stiano's gratified expression, the invisible and intangible illusory picture was ignited.

"why why!"

The horrifying screams echoed wildly, and the "Hidden Sage" asked questions filled with anger, despair and unwillingness.

Lu Ke did not say anything, but just smiled as he watched the scroll carrying civilization turn into smoke. A hint of crimson appeared in the curling green smoke, spitting out the final message.

"Save me, 'Great Mother'!"

Lu Ke scratched his ear nonchalantly, "You are not the 'eldest daughter', so you have no symbolic significance. He will not and has no ability to save you."

When the scroll completely dissipated, the existence called "Hidden Sage" had disappeared from the world.

At the same time, Lu Ke felt that the "Sage" Beyonder characteristic that had just been absorbed into his body was being digested rapidly, and it was only a little bit away from being completely digested. It was the kind of situation where he could directly take Sequence 1 without any problems.

A pair of eyelashless, indifferent and ruthless illusory eyes were left in the original painting, along with a large number of extraordinary characteristics of the "Mysterious Peepers" and "Comprehensive Peepers".

The "Secret Peeper" has the "uniqueness" of Sequence 0 "Hermit", one copy of Sequence 1 "Knowledge Emperor", three copies of Sequence 2 "Sage", and more to come.

The Beyonder Path has relatively fewer Beyonder characteristics, and the highest is Sequence 2 "Knowledge Mentor", which has only two copies.

"The harvest is good."

Lu Ke felt satisfied but also a little regretful. "Source Essence", "Uniqueness" and "Sequence One Extraordinary Characteristics" were the three things he really needed. All the previous promotions were just preparations for obtaining these three, and their importance decreased in sequence.

He has a good affinity with the "Knowledge Emperor", but since he intends to become a god through the "Red Priest", it would be best for him to accommodate the "Conqueror" in the first stage of the sequence.

For him, the requirements for becoming a god are relatively relaxed. As long as he is a "conqueror", the materials for becoming a god can be combined from the "uniqueness" of the "Red Priest" and any two other sequences.

If the current Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristics are incompatible with “Uniqueness”, the probability of successful ascension to godhood will decrease.

Lu Ke collected the spoils, looked at the earth that was riddled with holes and had its terrain changed arbitrarily, and snapped his fingers lightly.

Those fragmented, digitized terrains were rapidly "tampered" with information, returning to their original state.

Then, his body disappeared from where it was, moving at a rapid speed and flashing.

It's not about leaving the God-forsaken land, but getting closer to your destination.

Hunting down the "Hidden Sage" was only one of his goals, and not the most important one. His real goal was...

Pass through the barrier of the Western Continent and, with the help of the high-ranking people of the Western Continent, accommodate the source material in advance!
