Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 171 [171] The Land of the Floating Pagoda: Myriad Tribulations Make It Difficult for Yin Spirits to Enter Sainthood

pat!

The glass wall was covered with splattered blood and mud, which spewed out from the tentacles and mouthparts of the evil god's heart. The reaction was extremely irritating, especially when Wang Ya began to dissect and analyze the fragments of Gendass's consciousness to observe the internal situation.

This seems to be some kind of instinctive defense mechanism, but it is ultimately just a fragment of consciousness, and one that has consumed most of the mental energy.

An excited smile appeared on Wang Ya's lips. "Interesting. The fragments of consciousness contained within the dream bubble can actually affect the heart of the evil god itself. The Eye of Truth has done a preliminary analysis, and this is indeed the origin of the evil god. What exactly is the difference between this and a wizard? And what is the essence of the evil god?"

Is it faith?

It's still related to other things.

Wang Ya first denied the existence of faith, stating that the evil god Gendass did not seem to need the mental power generated by people's thoughts. If these people were lost, the power of the corresponding evil god would be weakened.

During the Mayan Kingdom, they directly possessed and transformed humans, thereby absorbing their flesh and blood as well as their spirit and soul.

The mind is born from the will, and when there are many people, even ordinary people, their combined mental strength can produce extraordinary results.

What you think about during the day, you dream about at night. Within the dream wizard system, there are some related research records. If you have an obsession with something during the day, the dreams you experience at night will be related to that.

Generally speaking, these are pleasant dreams, illusions, and nightmares are also common examples.

The reason why ordinary people cannot achieve what they imagine is that their personal mental strength is too weak.

If hundreds of millions of ordinary people share a common belief and pray for something, or seek proof of something's existence, then it is truly possible for that thing to be born.

"This path is not a balance between illusion and reality. It is all illusion and no reality. Even the evil god Gendas is not on this path. He still relies on the origin of the evil god. He erodes mortals one by one through the form of herding, fattening them up and then eating them."

Wang Ya then thought of the girl Lass, and the first mortal parasitized by the Gendass Hound that he encountered in that caravan.

Wang Ya had almost forgotten the name, but what he remembered most was that the Gendass Hound inside the host's body grew to a huge size after killing the enemy the parasite wanted to kill.

It can also trigger negative emotions in the host, and evil thoughts. Whether negative or positive, these emotions are related to consciousness and thought, and can naturally also affect the soul and spirit.

As it continues to develop, the parasite will become increasingly insane, eventually allowing the parasitic Gendass Hound to thrive.

This is not without cost. Just as there is a limit to the number of neurons in the pons of the human brain, such a method of improvement for ordinary people is to squeeze the potential of their soul and spirit.

The final result can only be that, from the inside out, even the soul will be completely dried up, turning into nourishment for the dogs of Gendass.

This is the true nature of the evil god Gendass, the truth of herding; all parasites are his lambs, his food.

Wang Ya gradually grasped something; it was a special feeling and enlightenment, but upon closer reflection, something was still missing.

For some reason, a phrase from a Taoist term from my past life suddenly appeared in my mind.

"If one only cultivates ancestral nature and not the elixir, even a spirit trapped in darkness will find it difficult to attain sainthood through countless eons."

Body, soul, and spiritual power. The essence of the extraordinary. Wang Ya's eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if the path that had always been blurry was gradually becoming clear, and the hidden truth was unfolding before him.

The illusion and reality spoken of by the ancient Sai shaman.

The illusion and reality that exist at the origin of evil gods.

The extraordinary knowledge, theories, and experiences that the Dream Wizard once spoke of.

As Wang Ya read through the many extraordinary knowledge he had learned from the Land of Inheritance, and the contents of the books collected by the Eye of Truth, he opened his mouth slightly, his expression blank, and his body remained motionless. His aura was released with the surge of extraordinary spiritual power.

All the scattered objects in the study gradually began to float up.

The fluctuations in particle energy also change accordingly.

In Wang Ya's mind, the images of his repeated research, manuscripts, and failures regarding the Hound of Gendas resurfaced.

The separation and fusion experiments of the properties of Gendass flesh and blood, the variable experiments of Harak's devouring process, the splashing black mud, and the surging tentacles.

All of this comes together at this moment.

Ripples of deep blue spread across his pupils, and amidst the subtle shimmer, a massive stream of data appeared, swirling up and down.

He seems to have grasped the future.

Antuen tribe's territory.

Kazeantun held the Black Sun Medal in his hand, his palm bearing obvious marks from the pressure he applied. The excited smile on his face testified to his current mood.

His expression was unlike anything any wizard in the entire Anton family had ever seen.

Stepping out of the study, I looked at the withered flowers and plants on both sides of the corridor and felt that they had a more charming quality than when they were in full bloom.

The autumn wind rustled the fallen leaves. Kazeantun waved the sleeves of his black robe, creating a gust of wind that swept the maple leaves aside. He pushed open the door and entered. The two people who had been waiting in the room after receiving the notification looked surprised.

The tall Hades glanced at his father, who was much shorter than him, then looked away and stood up from his chair.

Compared to before, Zac Anton has become much more mature and composed. Although he is not as burly as Hades next to him, he is still upright and tall, reaching about 1.8 meters.

Kazeantun sat in his chair, placing the Black Sun Medal on the table with one hand still resting on it: "The exact location of the Black Sun Ruins has been deciphered. This time, it's almost certainly the real location of the ruins."

The two brothers looked at each other, both seeing surprise and a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.

The Black Sun Medal is something the Anton family pursues.

Whether it's the main lineage, a branch lineage, or other third-level wizard apprentices or ultimate wizard apprentices within the family, they are all qualified to know the inside story.

However, after his father regained the Black Sun Medal, he did not reveal the information.

Only a few old wizards from the main lineage knew the situation.

Even when searching for the target location of the ruins, they did not use the power of the family branches, and even the main branch relied on the closest relatives.

Even Zac Anton was forced to create a large number of puppet wizards to explore the ruins, honing his puppet magic to an extraordinary level.

"Starting with the Skywing Wizard City incident ten years ago, and the many consequences that followed, the Wizard Family Alliance is no longer as pure as it used to be."

Instead of explaining the reason, Kazeantun said something else entirely.

Both Zach and the other knew something about the situation, more or less.

It is related to the wanted Berkeley family.

Ten years have passed, and the remnants of the Berkeley family still exist. Beta Berkeley, the family head at the time, has committed many evil deeds and murdered many wizards from the Underdark.

Now they are even more hidden, supposedly with the support of resources from foreign wizarding forces, and are lurking within the territory of the Underdark.

They can even conceal their own whereabouts, rendering the siren wizard's divination largely ineffective.

The cost is also enormous, no less than the resources required to train one or two ultimate wizard apprentices.

If any remnants of the Berkeley family were to make a move and utilize a certain level of particle energy, it would be immediately detected by the Underdark.

What awaits them is the thunderous strike of the Dark Hand, the elite of the law enforcement wizards.

"Ten years ago, there were ten great wizarding families; ten years later, there are only nine. Power and status are still earned through force, not through so-called unwritten rules."

Kazeantuen sneered and changed the subject to the Black Sun Medal.

"After so many years of research, we have finally achieved some results. The Black Sun Medal should be considered a key that can unlock the Black Sun Ruins, and it is also a map that records the location of the ruins."

"Zach, Hades, the location recorded in the Black Sun Ruins this time is extremely special. It is not in the Land of Mountains and Seas, but rather at the border between the Land of Mountains and Seas and the Land of Floating Pagodas."

"As for how to explore the Black Sun Ruins, we still need to find the other half of the Black Sun Medal's owner and discuss the details."
