Devil's Bible

Dartmanley paused for a moment, then nodded, acknowledging Nems's statement.

Because his revered grandfather was a saint, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Nemes's statement that saints followed the wrong path.

But after thinking about it for a while, I felt more and more that what Nemes said was right.

Purity and the inclusion of external things are inherently conflicting.

If you pursue purity, then you must continue to pursue purity.

Then perhaps we can obtain the characteristics related to 'source matter'.

The 'Source Matter' itself does not have any associated deities, which means that this thing is basically not disturbed.

If this is not the end of the world, then the pure path might be the easiest way to ascend from a golden species to a mythical species.

Unfortunately, the existence of the path of the saint has obscured this most correct path for so many years.

So much so that by the end of the era, this path was no longer suitable, and it was only under Nemus's impetus that Menghe appeared.

Menghe, relying on his spirituality, still couldn't truly move forward and could only introduce destiny and thought to stabilize the source of essence.

While this isn't exactly wrong, it does lead us astray a bit.

It's too grand; it's not a path that normal humans can take.

“But our goal now is piety, so that we can deceive the God of Discipline.” Although Dartmenley knew that the path of sainthood might be wrong, he was still not quite clear about Nemus’s purpose.

"The pursuit of true, pure power and the attainment of a devout heart are not entirely contradictory."

“We need to look at the problem from a perspective that goes beyond mere conflict,” Nemes said, without going into further explanation of what he meant.

As Hino walked out of the library, she felt that the entire town around her had completely changed.

Although nothing actually changed, his heart did.

Most of the passersby were likely of the Gold type, and his previous ideas about this small Steel type seemed particularly ridiculous now.

"Sino!" Klose suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Congratulations!" Xinuo was taken aback for a moment, then said congratulations.

"Haha, it's just a small improvement," Kroos said with a laugh. "It's good that you don't mind that I kept some information from you before."

The difference between the golden variety and the black stone variety is too great, and he was afraid it would be too damaging to Xinuo's worldview, so he didn't say it directly.

“I definitely won’t care.” Hino shook his head, knowing that Klose was doing it for his own good.

If he had known about Kross's golden seed beforehand, his interactions with him would definitely not have been as natural as before, and he would have had all sorts of thoughts running through his mind.

The two chatted for a while longer, and Xinuo learned many more details from Klose.

"Then I'll be leaving now. I also need to prepare for my advancement to the Gold Seed level," Hino said goodbye to Kross.

He still has many things to do, and the truce period is almost over. He needs to take advantage of this time to complete his promotion as soon as possible.

"No rush, come with me first!" Klose said, then pulled Hino to the front of the church.

Because he was worried about being discovered by Nemes, he had never dared to approach this so-called fictional church.

However, upon arrival, they found that a large crowd had gathered there.

Meanwhile, many people were happily walking out of there, each carrying a bottle of 'water'.

"That's the silver water?" Xinuo realized.

However, another question arose.

"Since most of these people are at the highest level of the Gold rank, why are they so happy to receive the Silver Water?" "That's right, this is the Silver Water, a special material created using the Philosopher's Stone, the highest achievement in alchemy," Kross said.

"It's also the best gold medicine for advancing to the Gold rank." With that, Kross walked into the church, then took out a portion of silver water and handed it to Hino.

This actually caught Hino off guard.

“This thing is so precious, I can’t take it. Brother Kross, you should keep it for yourself,” Hino quickly refused.

Although I'm not entirely sure what use this stuff has for gold, it's definitely not cheap.

And to be honest, although Klose was very good to him, he was, after all, an enemy.

By accepting the enemy's kindness in this way, he will find it difficult to conduct himself in the future, no matter what he does.

“Don’t worry, I can get one every day after I’m on the leaderboard.” Kross waved his hand and said, “One of these is enough for me for now.”

The key to silver water for gold lies in breaking boundaries.

After the boundary is broken, continuing to use the Silver Water will only accelerate one's own accumulation. Although it is still important, it is no longer as crucial.

"But the silver water has a different meaning for you."

"The best way to use the steel variety is with silver water. Besides using it directly as a gold medicine, it can also be used to make the steel variety into a silver variety."

"Those Silver Races who came out of the Silver City, although they are not as strong as us, have great potential, and may even have more staying power than us."

“Therefore, if you are planning for the future, using the Silver Water now is the best choice,” Kroos said.

Hino fell silent at that moment.

He thought of his master and the captain from his time in the Discipline Church.

They seem to treat themselves well too, but compared to Clos today, those people treating themselves well is more of an 'investment'.

He was given preferential treatment because of his talent, and that's why he felt that everyone he met after joining the church was a good person.

Compared to the preferential treatment given to Klose, who said, "Because you're a good person, I hope you can become better," it seems...

"I'm leaving now." Klose turned and left quickly without waiting for Hino to refuse.

Xinuo was left standing there, holding the silver water, somewhat at a loss.

Hino wavered slightly; he wasn't entirely irrational, acting solely on emotion.

He simply... simply adapted to the goodness of the church and attributed all the preferential treatment he received to the factor of 'God'.

However, Xinuo quickly dismissed these distracting thoughts and reaffirmed her belief.

Regardless, Nemus is a devil, not a good person.

He cannot let the demon go just because of Kross's kindness.

If we don't eliminate the evil root of all evil, then no matter how wonderful things we encounter now may be, they will all be destroyed in the future.

Just like his life on the Azure Whale, he was living a good life until Nemus's invasion caused everything to become a mess.

Just as Xinuo was gradually strengthening his resolve, someone not far away spotted him.

"Sino, it really is you!"

The moment the sound rang out, Xinuo felt a chill run down her spine, and alarm bells rang in her mind. (End of Chapter)
