Devil's Bible

However, in these seemingly casual notes written on the ground during research, Xinuo's little bit of secret technique is basically just some scraps.

Hino then quickly went to the table.

He had seen some metal sheets placed here before.

The first and most obvious thing is the metal plate placed in the middle, on which a will is written in fine inscriptions.

"My lifespan is limited, so this research will end here." Hino picked up the metal plate and read the contents on it softly.

"I learned this after I got out of there, but it's enough that I got out."

"I will quietly return to the melody, becoming a note above it. I can be revived by need, but I'll leave it alone otherwise."

"I left behind two copies of my research; one to be sent to the library, and the other to be kept here."

"Let those who are interested later take it for themselves."

“Chivis Granvia”.

There are many parts of this suicide note that Xinuo cannot understand.

What does "that place" mean?
What are musical movements and musical notes?
What does "recovery" mean?
"Could it be some kind of custom regarding death?" Hino knew that some places had customs that made it taboo to talk about death.

"Or perhaps this person is a follower of the god of music?" He had heard that there was a true god who was the god of music.

With this in mind, Hino continued to examine the remaining metal pieces.

Then Xinuo couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Because apart from the metal plate containing the will, the remaining five metal plates each recorded a technique, which together constitute a complete set of cultivation methods.

The first image shows a breathing technique, specifically the 'Cause and Effect Breathing Technique'.

It needs to connect with other people and then breathe through those connections.

After completion, it can condense the characteristic 'sensation'.

The second image is about swordsmanship, which made Xinuo frown slightly because it is a modified version of the Sword of Fortune, which connects the existence of fortune with cause and effect, making it more causal.

"It seems this place is connected to the outside world, which is why the demon's swordsmanship was able to spread here." Hino's emotions were very complicated, because the Sword of Fortune was indeed very useful.

Even those in the Discipline Church had to study it.

Many church members consider this act of learning the techniques of one's enemy to be an insult.

The third metal plate contains a secret technique.

This secret technique allows people to perceive cause and effect to a certain extent.

The fourth metal plate contains a potion. Using certain materials, a special potion can be made. After taking the potion, one can review their past and examine the causes and effects of their past.

The fifth metal plate is a ritual. After performing this ritual, one can gradually integrate one's own causal network and possess a powerful causal characteristic.

If this set of knowledge were made public, it would be enough to make many gold mines fight tooth and nail for them.

However, it's just sitting here like this.

Hino felt a little dizzy and began to question the authenticity of these things.

This thing is so valuable that he feels he doesn't deserve to have it.

So much so that he once again wondered if he had truly entered the Kingdom of God.

With this in mind, Hino immersed himself in this knowledge.

He found that Chivis Granvia was a very capable scholar who could explain his knowledge very thoroughly.

Even if he were just a Black Stone Seed with a basic understanding of cause and effect and a slight talent in the related field, he could still comprehend this kind of gold-level knowledge. Then, he had an epiphany: it wasn't that he understood it, but rather that this knowledge made him understand it.

From the moment he entered the house and chose to pick up those metal pieces, the causal relationship between him and Chivis Granvia began to intertwine.

That is why he was able to understand this knowledge so easily.

And it was quite natural for him to conclude that if everything went smoothly, he would only need about ten years to complete a whole set of cultivation and become a golden seed who had mastered the characteristics of cause and effect.

"It probably involves some kind of fate-related ability. I was chosen because I have a talent for cause and effect." Xinuo was overjoyed after reaching this conclusion.

He was quite talented. If it weren't for his teacher constantly urging him to hone his faith, and the subsequent invasion of the Azure Whale by Nemus, he probably would have already obtained the necessary resources to become a Steel-type.

"Ten years... I will definitely return to Azure Whale after ten years, overthrow the rule of Nemus, and let the glory of God shine on Azure Whale again!" Xinuo made a vow.

Then he knelt down and thanked the God of Discipline for the blessings He had given him.

After all, that's the doctrine of the church: as long as one keeps the precepts, then a corresponding blessing will appear upon oneself.

In Shino's devout heart, he believed that he was able to have this extraordinary encounter entirely because he had faithfully observed the precepts.

After Xinuo finished his prayers, he was about to stand up when he realized that his legs were weak.

It was only then that I belatedly realized that I had been studying those principles of cause and effect for more than a day.

I survived the day entirely by sheer physical strength.

He was so hungry that his stomach was practically touching his back.

So Hino went out of the house, wanting to see if there was a tavern or something similar in the town.

However, after wandering around, Xinuo still couldn't find a place to eat.

Wanting to leave the town to go hunting in the countryside, they discovered that the town was surrounded by guards.

The guards looked like they were ready to fight at any moment, and without knowing the true situation in the town, he was still hesitant to go out.

Hino had a terrible headache. This town was so strange; it was as if no one needed to eat.

"It's as if...they don't need to survive." Thinking of this, Xinuo suddenly realized the strangeness of the town.

People gathered together to form towns, hoping to live better together.

However, although the town has a large population, it lacks a sense of everyday life.

The lack of food is one aspect; it also includes the lack of growing vegetables, raising poultry, and everything else related to food.

Secondly, there are no shops, as if no one here needs to buy anything.

These necessities for people's lives could not be found in the town.

Growing increasingly wary, Xinuo then heard arguing nearby.

Several people were seen surrounding and beating one person.

"Kross, you'll lose badly next time!" the leader said after beating the man.

Upon seeing this, Xinuo immediately shouted, "Hey you over there, what right do you have to hit people?"

The questioning attracted the attention of the assailant. Upon seeing that it was Xinuo, the man didn't even bother to answer and turned to leave with his men.

Hino was furious. He couldn't stand seeing the majority bullying the minority, and he was about to chase after them and question them loudly.

However, the next moment, Klose, who had been hit, stood up and came to his side.

"Newcomer, stop shouting, this is just a 'game'." (End of Chapter)
