I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Although everyone believed O'Reilly, no one wanted to believe the truth.

Therefore, the high-dimensional topology of the Crimson Temple and many other ruins, along with the topology of the Holy See, has been secretly sent by Roland to various wizarding academies with the tacit approval of the Church's reformists.

The various wizarding academies have already replicated the bronze mirrors and are currently deciphering these higher-dimensional topologies, attempting to find the final piece of the Holy Throne puzzle within the Crimson Temple.

With the assistance of various colleges, Roland's workload was significantly reduced. However, Mario, Johnson, and others clearly wanted Roland to work at full capacity, so they assigned him another task.

This event provided the theoretical basis for the restoration work of the Holy See.

If finding the last fragment of the foundation is like searching for a needle in a haystack, then this task is akin to exploring the ultimate truth in the vast cosmos. It is far more complex and far more uncertain.

In reality, however, this task is much simpler, because the Vatican possesses a vast collection of documents concerning the Holy See.

Although these documents consist of various myths and do not contain any technical content, they are of almost no value.

But ever since Johnson and other old abysses entered the Vatican, they have made use of these myths and used them to develop many theories about the Holy See.

Throughout history, various schools of wizarding have had their own methods for exploring the mysteries. The most famous of these is the 'descriptive method'.

The 'Nameless Straw Church' is the masterpiece of Uksa's mentor and a certain Twilight Wizard. They used a church to depict the mystery of straw, thus sealing and studying this mystery. Roland also developed many magical techniques within the Straw Church based on this.

While studying Baron Dryad and the goddess Heracles, Dryads fortress employed painting and sculpting of divine statues. Roland, building upon this foundation, further aided the Black Abyss School in creating the 'Path of the Shepherdess of Black Blood' by describing the deities.

The old Black Abysses further described the Mind-Stealing Spirit through the 'Seven-Pointed Table,' thus developing its theory, which was eventually applied to the Sanctuary.

Wizards believe that whatever mysterious thing is, as long as it can be described, then the truth, laws, or theories about that thing will appear on paper, whether through divination, prophecy, or deduction and experimentation.

The descriptive method is a powerful tool for wizards to decipher mysteries. For thousands of years, it has transformed unknown and mysterious objects into known knowledge for wizards.

Today, they also apply descriptive methods to this mysterious ruin left by the gods.

This work began after Johnson and others entered the Vatican and joined Andorra's team.

The Vatican possesses a wealth of documents concerning the Holy See, which, although composed of mythological stories, contain numerous allusions to the Holy See.

This information can all be used to describe the Holy See.

Although the content is incomplete and cannot fully describe the Holy See, it is described using advanced tools such as the 'September Table' and the 'Question Machine'.

Once the Holy See is described, everything becomes extremely simple. Wizards won't even need to conduct any deductions or experiments to explore the theories about the Holy See.

Because the wizards now possess a tool that grants them near-omniscience—the Mirror of the World, also known as the Mirror of Faith in Malrod.

With this thing in existence, as long as you provide a description of anything, the wizards can retrieve all the knowledge about that thing from the well.

In fact, extracting knowledge from the lower realms is an extremely complex and tedious task. It involves a complete magical industrial system.

But the wizards have another, even more overpowered cheat code—'Well Keeper Dalark'.

In Merlin's words, Darak, the working god, is like an incredibly versatile intelligent industrial robot from an alien civilization. Before wizards have perfected their own magical industrial system, the working god can perfectly meet their current needs.

Therefore, exploring the mysteries of the Holy See seems very simple. However, in reality, Johnson and others encountered enormous difficulties when they attempted it.

Because people discovered that even though the old myths contained a great deal of information about the Holy See, and even though people could translate them completely, this content was still indescribable to wizards.

In Johnson's words, "Even if the sun were right in the sky, ants couldn't describe it accurately. Because ants don't even know what the sun is."

In Roland's words, "Before the Trisolarans' droplets started moving, Earthlings couldn't understand what they were."

People discovered that the technological gap between this world and the gods was so vast that even when the gods' things were right in front of them, or even written on paper, they couldn't understand them.

However, the old Black Abysses slowly lifted a corner of the veil covering the Holy Throne.

Even without the Well of Faith, these old guys still managed to create a 'seven-pointed table' to solve part of the theory behind the 'wishing machine'.

Although no one has yet been able to solve the mystery of the wishing machine, the old Black Abyss members have figured out how to use it through research.

The abilities of these old guys are beyond question. Their work efficiency is also terrifying.

From the time Johnson and others left Vermeek to join the Papacy, to Roland's arrival at the Holy See, the old Black Abyss faction only took about two years to describe nearly 0.1% of the Holy See's contents!
It takes two years to complete 0.1% of the work. In other words, the task can be completed in just 2000 years.

However, technology and theory are constantly evolving with the times, and as the mysteries of the Holy See are continuously unraveled, there will be more references for the work, so the work of the Old Black Abyss will accelerate. It is expected that the work will be completed within a few hundred years.

This time seems long, but it is actually very short.

Because this is like a group of natives who have just left their home planet to explore the moon, and in just a few hundred years, they are able to unravel all the black technology of the corrupt empire that rules the entire galaxy!

The Dawn of Light (the Holy Throne) is hailed as the God above Gods, encompassing almost all the technological theories of the forbidden creators. The theoretical framework of the gods on the path of civilization is also based on it.

Therefore, once you understand it, it's essentially equivalent to solving all the technical theories.

Therefore, several hundred years is indeed a very, very short period of time.

But for the people of this world, this time is still too long.

According to the joint prediction of the Vatican and wizards, the Angel of Peace will break down within fifty years. Without the protection of the Angel of Peace's divine wings, everything in this world will sink into the sea of ​​the lower realms.

According to Olivia, the world must restore the Holy See to a certain extent within fifty years so that the gods can help when the next 'pulling of the rope' occurs.

Otherwise, relying solely on the Kingdom of Heaven, this rope certainly cannot be pulled out.

Theory must precede engineering. Johnson believed that in unraveling the mysteries of the Holy See, they must complete 20% of the work within 20 years. That is, at least 1% of the work must be completed each year.

The old Black Abyss members had spent two years completing only 0.1% of the puzzle. This speed was far too slow; it needed to be increased 20 times. (End of Chapter)
