Chapter 313 Black Emperor: How could you do this?
The Solomon Empire.
The human incarnations of the "Seven Lights" gathered together. These spirit beings exchanged glances, and a hint of melancholy could be seen in their eyes, although this emotion was not the mainstream.
I've been working hard for my boss, and now I'm even losing money on him. What should I do?
To resist?
The seven lights looked at each other, and there was not a trace of rebellion in their eyes. At this moment, they had neither the will nor the power to do so.
Moreover, these guys weren't actually that disappointed. As the Seven Lights of the Spirit Realm, they were somewhat looking forward to witnessing the birth of a god-level spirit being. This was especially true for "Red Light" Elmoria, who was most deeply affected. Admiring strength is an instinct of intelligent beings.
The hermit extracted the power of the Seven Lights Source without much effort.
After all, the Seven Lights offered no symbolic resistance.
However, Heraborg, the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom," wouldn't just stand by and watch. Even the Eternal Sun and the Lord of Storms spared time to unleash an attack on the Hermit. Golden rays and lightning storms struck, and the Black Emperor and the True Creator were not very proactive in stopping them; they weren't that considerate.
The hermit didn't care. He held up the seven lights in one hand and raised the other. Two illusory mercury snakes clasped tails together. The wheel of fate turned. He stood in the center of the storm. The sun's radiance was like a warm sun. His white robe fluttered in the wind, and his long black hair flowed freely. He was completely unharmed.
Meanwhile, Herabogen's charge came to an abrupt halt. Clearly, his two unreliable allies were also oblivious to the possibility that their wide-range attack might accidentally harm them. The wise dragon had no choice but to retreat and try other methods.
The wisdom of the White Tower prompted the god of wisdom to immediately adjust his strategy. He let out a silent dragon roar, and the White Tower, simulating a dreamer, spread ripples in the world of the mind, attempting to endow the nascent white light with unique humanity, to achieve the finishing touch, and to truly bring the white light to life.
Herabergen chose a good time. In order to survive the scorching sun and violent storms, the Wheel of Fate in the hermit's hand was on the verge of breaking, and its protective effect was also reduced. The hermit's "half-independent, half-integrated white light" was affected and indeed showed signs of coming back to life and having its own thoughts.
This "white light" that is closely connected to its own existence, has a great entanglement with the spirit world, and has grown into the King of Angels, will develop self-awareness and independent thoughts. Then, it will encounter troubles similar to those of the witch's path, and may face some obstacles during its advancement.
This is the power of thought.
In this way, the white light might become the fulcrum for the White Pagoda to move the hermit.
"The idea is correct."
The hermit nodded in approval of Helabogen's approach. If the external defenses were impenetrable, then they should address the problem from within. "It's just a pity..."
I have more cards.
The "Hermit" took out a smart chip and threw it into the "white light" that had developed some thoughts and self-awareness. A seven-pointed star array unfolded under his feet, with the seven stars connected by seven lights. It seemed that some divine forms of an Eastern dragon could also be seen.
A faint brass-colored light flickered in the eyes of the "Dragon of Wisdom," and mysterious runes surged. He instantly recognized that it was the uniqueness of the Perfectionist Path, and what was unfolding seemed to be the random transmutation array that was very popular in the Northern Continent.
"He wants to accommodate the uniqueness of the perfect one!"
Herabergen warned the other gods, while countless illusory books opened around him, and mysterious runes covered every aspect of the spirit world. As gods who were the means of reading, they had a deep understanding of the basic alchemy array that was widely circulated in the Northern Continent. It might be difficult to block the alchemy array from unfolding, but they could interfere with the hermit in other ways.
If things are delayed a little longer, perhaps the Black Emperor and the True Creator's mentality will change. That's what Herabergen thinks. After all... if someone like the Hermit successfully becomes a dual-path True God, even the Hermit's allies might feel the pressure.
In fact, Hrabogan did know Solomon and Grisha. When they saw that the Hermit was planning to ascend to the heavens in one step, their battle with the Eternal Sun, the Lord of Storms, ceased.
The Black Emperor had a dark face; he was also familiar with this thing.
This transmutation array is one of the many achievements guided by the hermit over two hundred years.
The Solomon Empire had practically popularized the knowledge of basic transmutation arrays. It was very simple; all one had to do was draw a simple tripoint, add spiritual materials and real objects, and then pray to the hermit as required. That would achieve a series of effects such as enchanting and transmutation.
The white light hanging in the spirit world by the hermit will automatically respond to every prayer related to the formation.
The Solomon Empire has connections with the spirit world, and even in remote rural areas, usable spirit world materials can be collected.
The hermit essentially set up a website in the spirit world, allowing everyone to use the craftsman's authority for free.
Even the sons of great noble families still learn related rituals, but they learn more advanced alchemy arrays. In this era without steam and mechanical churches, everyone is an independent craftsman, and at the high level, almost no one would refuse this divinely bestowed benefit.
Hermits have had plenty of anchors from the very beginning; in fact, they have so many that they need to be subdivided, simplified, and segmented.
Promoting the development of civilization is the preparation made by the hermit for the path of the compatible perfectionist.
The Black Emperor knew that He had been preparing for the compatibility of the Judge's path. The Hermit would not disrupt the Black Emperor's order, and the Black Emperor would not interfere with the Hermit's progress in civilization and the spread of knowledge. This was originally a tacit understanding between the two emperors, including this alliance.
Solomon hadn't expected the Hermit to make such rapid progress. He only wanted to intimidate and suppress the other gods again, so that the order the Hermit had promulgated in the spirit world could be implemented and gradually spread its influence throughout the spirit world. Even the order promulgated by the gods needed time to take shape.
Even the Sequence 0 deity, the judge, who symbolizes order, needs time to personally issue decrees in order to gain authority in the spirit world. The spirit world is too vast; it's impossible for a few decrees to have a lasting impact on it. Everything takes time.
Solomon's original expectation was that the hermit would gradually rise in power and deepen his authority in the spirit world, giving the divine power, at least for a period of time, to spread his influence through the hermit's channels in accordance with the order promulgated by the hermit.
It's like climbing a ladder, only to find the hermit spreading his wings?
Whoosh whoosh!
Wind, Wisdom, and White completely abandoned the Black Emperor and the True Creator, rushing towards the Hermit's training array.
The Black Emperor and the True Creator remained silent for a long time, without intervening.
