Armitage continued, "The Glorious Court was a relatively short-lived dynasty that existed about four thousand years ago, lasting only about one hundred and fifty years."
"But in the span of 150 years, they founded the Church of Glory and preached a doctrine."
"The light that overflowed from the gates of the world created the whole world."
Chapter 0191 Newton After Eating an Apple
"The Gate of the World shines brightly; indeed, there are many bubbles within it," Los thought to himself.
Then, Los recounted in detail what Borg had told him to Dr. Armitage.
Armitage's spirits lifted upon hearing this: "Mayor, where did you hear this from?"
Los said, "We were attacked today, and it seems to be related to these guys, so I've done some investigation."
Armitage clenched his fist and said, "Come with me."
Armitage then led Los out of the office and to the library on the second floor.
The library on the second floor is smaller than the one on the first floor, and there are far fewer people there.
The second floor contains very old and difficult-to-understand materials. The books here contain a total of 724 languages, many of which are small languages that have been lost to history and have little practical value.
More importantly, in a corner here are many rare books and fragments that have been destroyed many times in history, such as the Necronomicon written by a madman, and other contents written by many strange people.
This includes, but is not limited to, the Corpse-Eating Ritual, the Yellow King, R'lyeh, the Hymn of the Megadrome Worm, and the Soul of Chaos.
Armitage climbed the ladder and took out a very old-looking gray book from the southwest corner.
The book looks to be at least a hundred years old. The pages on the inside are completely yellowed, and there are faint traces of special liquid staining them.
The book is not large, only about the size of two adult palms. The cover is made of special metal and features a tree printed on it.
A snake was coiled above the tree, with an apple in its mouth.
At the base of the tree, numerous messy characters were written, resembling the roots of the tree.
Even though Los possessed a great deal of superhuman knowledge, he still couldn't understand these words that were completely from a different system.
“Doctor, what is this?” Los asked.
Armitage placed his hands on the book, his eyes behind his glasses fixed on it as if he were mesmerized, and said earnestly, "The Book of Judgment."
“The Book of Judgment?” Los immediately searched his mind for all knowledge related to the Cthulhu Mythos, but found that there was no such book.
Armitage said, "It is rumored that the Russell empire collapsed because of this book."
“Oh? How so?” Los asked.
The Russell Empire existed approximately 4,800 years ago, and it was also the first great empire in history to rule the entire eastern continent.
During that period, alchemy flourished like never before, and the supernatural had entered human life.
This vast empire lasted only five hundred years before suddenly collapsing for unknown reasons.
Even now, there is no definitive conclusion about the reasons for the fall of the Russell Empire, and countless historians and archaeologists have not been able to arrive at an answer that satisfies everyone.
Armitage said, "The Russell Empire was not the origin of alchemy; your research is correct. The true origin of alchemy is a dynasty called Newton's."
"Newton!?" Upon hearing this, Los's expression immediately became quite interesting.
When did our tech cult leader start getting into alchemy?
But thinking about it, there's nothing wrong with it.
It is said that in his later years, Newton firmly believed in the existence of the First Move, a force of God.
"Considering that Newton never married and remained a virgin until his death, he did indeed believe in the existence of the hand of God to help him masturbate."
Armitage, standing to the side, looked at Los with a completely bewildered expression: "Mayor, what are you saying!"
Los immediately snapped out of his daze and coughed, "It's nothing, it's just that the name Newton sounds somewhat familiar."
Armitage was somewhat surprised after hearing this: "The mayor is indeed knowledgeable. The surname Newton has become taboo after multiple rounds of purges. Now only a few people know that the surname Newton still exists."
Los frowned slightly and asked, "Are there any taboos regarding the surname Newton?"
"Go back to the office first."
Armitage took the book, led Los back to the office, sat down, and solemnly opened the book.
On the first page of the book, you can see a young man with curly hair standing under a tree, and a snake with an apple in its beak is looking down at him from the tree.
Beside the calligraphy and paintings, there were also some messy characters.
Armitage said, "This young man was Newton. The book records that he came to the Tree of Truth for unknown reasons, and then, guided by the serpent, ate the Fruit of Knowledge, gained infinite wisdom, and thus developed a special discipline that could greatly develop the limits of the human body: alchemy."
Looking at the painting, Los touched his chin, somewhat bewildered: "What is all this nonsense?"
This book, this serpent, this apple—it's clearly a scene from the Garden of Eden, depicting Adam and Eve.
But at this moment, he clashed with Newton.
Armitage turned to the second page of the book, which showed the young man walking in the world, radiating light.
Armitage pointed to the words below and said slowly and deliberately, "Newton, who obtained the fruit of wisdom, became a great being, and he walked the world to spread the truth."
Turning the page again, the illustration shows Newton with two children, now a thing of the past.
"Newton had two children, and he perfected alchemy by focusing on himself and his son and daughter, which consisted of three systems."
"Among them, Newton's son was called the Red King, his daughter was called the White Queen, and Newton himself, who was at the top, was called the Great Sovereign."
"Subsequently, in the course of history, these became three important systems. The Red King was the most perfect man in the world. He possessed all the handsomeness and prowess of men, and was therefore known as the perfect Red King."
"Newton's daughter possessed countless feminine gentleness and radiance, and was therefore known as the Brilliant White Queen."
"And Newton, who created this system, was called the supreme monarch by all the alchemists of the time."
As he turned the pages of the book, Los witnessed the founding and rise of the entire alchemical school.
Armitage then turned to another page, on which it was revealed that the supreme monarch, Newton, had suddenly perished, and no one knew the cause of his death.
"With the fall of the great monarch, the entire Newtonian dynasty collapsed and was eventually replaced by the Russellian Empire."
"The Russell Empire, which developed alchemy to its zenith, completely concealed the existence of the Supreme Sovereign, leaving only the Red King and the White Queen."
Chapter 0192 The Book of Judgment
Seeing this, Los stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
What he can now be certain of is that the Newton of this world probably did not become a god, but rather encountered misfortune or went out of control due to some problems in his later years.
"Will his later years be unlucky, with red hair growing all over his body?" Ross imagined Newton's thick hair turning red and spreading all over his body.
"Doesn't it look a bit like a red-haired golden monkey?" Los couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Armitage, standing to the side, looked on with a strange expression. This was a secret forgotten by countless people, mixed with numerous conspiracies and unknown solemn history. What was it about this mayor that made him find it so funny?
Los coughed and said, "Continue!"
Armitage nodded, then turned the pages that were about a third of the way through.
"Under the development of the Russell Empire, the two systems of the Red King and the White Queen were completely separated, evolving into a completely new system and going in two completely different directions."
"Later, the Russell Empire perished due to special circumstances, and the two completely separate factions formed different organizations."
"The White Queen, symbolizing gentleness and light, came into contact with a radiant door for some reason and subsequently founded the Church of Radiance."
"And the Red King, who symbolizes composure and power, also developed his own system: the theory of the divine realm."
"The theory of the divine realm?" Los's heart stirred, as if he had grasped the key point of the matter.
According to Charles, these guys seem to want to create a world.
Armitage said seriously, "Yes, the Red King has formed a patriarchal system of rule centered on himself. He claims to have the ability to make all humans gods and to recreate the lost divine realm in accordance with the will of the creator god."
"And he claims to be the Father God."
Upon hearing this, Ross immediately understood: "So that's how it is. No wonder they joined forces with the Forbidden Gate. It turns out that these two organizations were originally one family. So, judging from Mason's forced abduction of Minnie, this Minnie is very likely the White Queen of this generation."
"However, since the White Queen's system has come into contact with Bubble, it must have been completely transformed by the discussions of those Outer Gods, and is no longer on the same side as the Father God."
"It seems that from now on, Minnie will be the core of the Father God's Salvation Society."
With this in mind, Los finally gained some understanding of this suddenly appearing mysterious organization, and his heart immediately felt more confident.
"Speaking of which, I haven't met Minnie before. Rumor has it that she's a mature woman who's juicy, beautiful, and alluring!"
Thinking of this, Ross immediately wanted to have an in-depth conversation with Minnie to test her understanding.
Having finished reading the book, Los's gaze immediately fell upon it, and he asked curiously, "What I'm more curious about is who wrote this book, and how did he know so many secrets?"
Armitage then turned to the last page of the book, where the author's signature was a jumble of crooked characters.
"Newton!?" Los was quite surprised to see this.
After reading a page of the book, Los naturally recognized the appearance of the Newtonian character in this ancient language.
Armitage said with a serious expression, "This is also something I don't understand. Logically speaking, this book should have been written by later generations, but from my comparison of these words, I found that, in terms of both the appearance of the words and the grammatical format, this book was written before the Newtonian dynasty."
"The Book of Judgment, the Book of Revelation, which means this book was written by Newton himself, and its purpose was to enlighten his descendants?" Los put forward his conjecture.
Armitage nodded seriously: "I used to think so too, but it was too fantastical. But after seeing your arrival, it suddenly occurred to me that this might be what Newton wrote."
Los reached out and took the book out. After examining it carefully, he suddenly said, "This is only the first half of the book. There should be a second part."
"Is that so!?" Armitage stood up in surprise.
Los pointed to the page numbers in the book and said, "Look, the page numbers start with three digits, and the last page is exactly 099. There should be more content following it."
“Look at the title of this book, the Book of Judgment and Revelation. Judging from the content here, it is just a book of revelation and has nothing to do with judgment.”
Armitage looked at it and suddenly realized, "Yes! Yes! Every time I've seen this over the years, I've felt a sense of incompleteness. I thought it was just my old problem, but now that you've said this, I realize that the book is indeed unfinished, or rather, the second half has been cut off."
Los put down his book and said calmly, "Newton was someone who had eaten the fruit of wisdom. At his level at that time, at least in terms of thinking, he should have reached the level of an ancient god. And the alchemy school he founded was definitely more than just that."
"It is even less likely that the Russell Empire could be so easily destroyed."
Thinking of this, Los frowned slightly. He felt as if he had forgotten something important, but he couldn't remember it no matter what he did.
So, under Armitage's watchful eye, Los simply removed his head.
"mayor!"
This almost gave the elderly doctor a heart attack.
Just as Armitage was in shock, Los's voice came again.
