Chapter 165: Chapter 163: The Revealed Truth

The value of this hidden information is not insignificant.

Yang Qizhou didn’t refresh the text but narrowed his eyes, repeatedly reading the contents on the text and making summaries and deductions.

"The weakest ’Star Spirit God’ accommodates at least one-thousandth of a singular symbolic whole; does this mean that if a certain symbol has no divine spirit above the rank of ’Angel God,’ and each ’Star Spirit God’ only accommodates the bare minimum symbolic units, then the entire universe can host, at most, only one thousand ’Star Spirit Gods’ per independent symbol?"

"And higher-ranked ’Angel Gods’ accommodate at least five-thousandths of a singular symbolic whole, which is five times that of a ’Star Spirit God.’ Based on the principle of ’symbolic conservation,’ the birth of one ’Angel God’ would occupy the share of five ’Star Spirit Gods.’"

"Using this as a deduction..."

"The more high-ranking deities there are, the fewer low-ranking deities can exist for the same symbol. Conversely, the more low-ranking deities there are, the fewer high-ranking deities exist for that symbol."

He then thought about the ’God of Victory.’

This deity was created using the epic-grade divine artifact, the ’lucky coin,’ as the deactivation core. According to the ’Tree Ancient God,’ epic-grade divine artifacts correspond to ’Angel God’ rank powers.

Recalling the current 3% digestion progress of the profane potion of the ’God of Victory,’ which granted the minimum rank of ’Star Spirit God,’ Yang Qizhou speculated further about the God’s potion. Once the digestion progress reaches 15%, the rank would ascend to ’Angel God.’

"The ’lucky coin,’ despite being an epic-grade divine artifact, holds symbolic significance exceeding the baseline five-thousandths, at over three percent—close to the limit of a ’Divine Sovereign,’"

"Of course, the symbolic limit isn’t equivalent to proportional representation."

"Even if the ’lucky coin’ holds over three percent of symbolic shares, if ’Fate’s’ entire symbolic representations are occupied by other gods, no matter how much Old Sacrifice the game character invests, they cannot further accommodate symbols to ascend ranks."

"Unless..."

"They eliminate the deities occupying the same symbol and seize the divine authority they’ve held. Then, the deity shepherded by the game character could further elevate its rank."

This was merely a hypothesis—practically, this issue didn’t exist for the game character.

The reason was simple: the ’God of Victory’ embodies Fate’s symbolism. With the fall of the ’Lord of Blasphemy,’ all authority, symbols, concepts, and power related to ’Fate’ had utterly vanished. In the pursuit of Fate’s symbolism, the game character faced no competitors.

"The ’Tree Ancient God’ really is a benevolent figure. Not only did it reveal the origins of the ’Three Ancient God Kings’ and connect the game character to ’Fate’ and the ’Lord of Blasphemy,’ but it explained in painstaking detail the relationship between ’rank,’ ’symbol,’ and ’authority.’"

"Also, during the earlier ’Fate Line,’ the ’Tree Ancient God’ informed the game character about the side effects of embracing divinity and revealed that the hostility of the ’Sky Blue Spear’ stemmed from the will of the ’King of Nature.’"

"This wool has been plucked to almost baldness, hasn’t it?"

"Isn’t the game character being a bit too ruthless?"

Despite these thoughts, Yang Qizhou didn’t feel an ounce of guilt, inwardly yelling enthusiastically, don’t stop now, push harder!

Soon, the game text continued to refresh.

...

...

"Satisfied, absolutely satisfied. These hidden revelations will certainly save me a lot of detours. ’Tree Ancient God,’ I’m deeply grateful to your ancestors."

"As for collaboration?"

"You inwardly scoff, wondering why you should agree to cooperate. Isn’t freeloading satisfying enough? Especially since this old fox clearly harbors ulterior motives."

"At this moment, you notice the ’Tree Ancient God’ still maintaining a friendly smile, but its expression was stiff. Deep within its eyes, flickering glimpses of vulture-like coldness revealed themselves, and the aura it emanated grew increasingly frigid, clearly reaching the edge of its patience."

"Yet you had no intention of accommodating the ’Tree Ancient God’s’ emotions, adopting a ’If you’re upset, so what? Not my problem’ mindset, and posed your fourth question... Respected ’Tree Ancient God,’ I find one thing peculiar: the ’Sky Blue Spear,’ originally left in the North Realm Abyss by the ’King of Nature’ to suppress the ’Endless Abyss,’ vanished without reason. As the subordinate god of the ’King of Nature,’ did you perhaps play a less-than-honorable role in this?"

"Such blunt words were nearly equivalent to tearing apart any pretense of amicability. Anyone with half a sense of propriety would never speak this way."

"But you remained nonchalant, casting a faintly amused look at the ’Tree Ancient God,’ as if saying, ’Let’s see how you wriggle your way out of this.’"

"Sure enough,"

"You watched as the ’Tree Ancient God’s’ face froze, its smile abruptly fading, emitting a lofty yet chillingly stern majesty."

"Around you, the abstract, distorted woods began to writhe as if crudely sketched by a child using thick strokes of oil paint. Trees came alive, their branches intertwining. Viewed from above, they formed the shape of a giant skull."

"A suffocating oppression swept in from all directions, as though you were submerged in viscous liquid, unable to struggle, unable to breathe, unable to utter a sound—left with only the despair that clawed from the depths of your soul."

"Yet you didn’t panic. You were perfectly aware that the ’Tree Ancient God’ needed the wizard to ascend in rank and absolutely wouldn’t deal a fatal blow. Let alone the fact you still had the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ as leverage, so you gazed at the deity with a mocking, inscrutable smile."

"What happened next proved you were right."

"You watched as the ’Tree Ancient God’ suddenly laughed, though its laughter was grotesque and sinister, sending shivers down your spine. Its voice carried venomous amusement... How did you connect the disappearance of the ’Sky Blue Spear’ to me?"

"Simple."

"You shrugged and provided your reasoning... You are the subordinate god of the ’King of Nature’ and the ruler of ’Asgard.’ By your position, you must have carried the mission of overseeing the ’Sky Blue Spear.’ Yet, three years ago, when the spear mysteriously disappeared, and the ’Bright Outpost’ nearly collapsed, you not only failed to act but even issued an ’oracle,’ sending the previous priest of Heroic Spirit Hall to the North Realm Abyss with the ’Circle of Friendliness,’ indirectly leading to his death. All of this cannot help but arouse suspicion."

Upon reading this, Yang Qizhou felt a renewed sense of clarity.

This had been a question nagging at the back of his mind.

Soon, the text updated again.

"You saw the ’Tree Ancient God’ smile once more, but now there was no trace of its earlier frustration or icy malice. Instead, it answered happily."

"It wasn’t indirect—the previous priest of Heroic Spirit Hall was directly killed by me in collaboration with the Abyssal demons."

"As for the ’Sky Blue Spear,’ isn’t it obvious? As the subordinate god of the ’King of Nature,’ I am a ’Divine Sovereign’ holding the authority of ’Nature.’ By leveraging the authority of the ’Deception Lord,’ it was effortless to impersonate the ’King of Nature’ and extract the ’Sky Blue Spear,’"

"Unfortunately,"

"Given the Abyss hadn’t fully returned and the sealing constraints in place, the power the ’Deception Lord’ lent me was limited. Before I could carry the ’Sky Blue Spear’ out of the North Realm Abyss, I was discovered, ultimately resulting in the artifact being lost."

"It’s out in the open now, huh,"

"You sensed not the slightest attempt to mask the truth; the ’Tree Ancient God’ candidly revealed it all, leaving you both surprised and astounded."

"You posed another question... So, ’Asgard’ being infiltrated by the Evil God to the point of resembling a sieve, that was also with your approval?"

"Of course, I allowed it. Otherwise, how do you think the Evil God believers and evil forces could’ve flourished right under the nose of a ’Divine Sovereign’?"

"But why?"

"The ’Tree Ancient God’ brazenly responded... Naturally, to sell ’Asgard’ for a great price. This is no longer the age of wizards. The Old Gods are returning, and outsiders are eyeing this world. The Three Ancient God Kings have all encountered varying degrees of issues. The ’Radiant Kingdom’ is doomed—it’s an unstoppable momentum. Instead of futile resistance, it’s far better to carry my own capital and place my bets with one side. That’s the choice of a clever individual."

Isn’t this treachery of the divine?

Yang Qizhou was stunned, never expecting beings representing the universe’s symbols, possessing ultimate power and a high stature, could bow to powerful foes like mortals. Moreover, the surrender was so thorough they were even prepared to bundle their believers and companions together and sell them to other deities.

The text continued refreshing...

"You felt utter disdain toward the actions of the ’Tree Ancient God,’"

"And then recalled your first visit to ’Asgard,’ when the ’Tree Ancient God’ noticed you immediately and proactively revealed how to open the Prayer Box. This piqued your curiosity, leading you to ask instinctively... ’Tree Ancient God,’ how did you discern my identity as a wizard? Was it because I carried the ’Ancient Roots’?"

"Not at all..."

"You noticed the ’Tree Ancient God’ shaking its head, proceeding to explain... Even if you possess the ’Ancient Roots,’ without shepherding divine spirits or emitting a wizard’s presence, it would be difficult for even a ’Pillar Level’ deity to know you’re a wizard."

"This further aroused your curiosity, prompting you to ask... Then how did you know?"

"The ’Tree Ancient God’ provided this answer... Because I noticed you came to Asgard through the Time-Space Gate of the ’Truth Hall.’"

"I see,"

"You nodded with a dawning realization. The Truth Hall is an institution cultivating wizards. Someone emerging from there would, of course, be a wizard."

"Having gleaned all you wanted to know, you decided there was no need to keep up the act. Gazing deeply at the ’Tree Ancient God,’ you said... You’ve divulged so much high-rank hidden information, not out of genuine goodwill, I presume. What I can’t figure out is: the ’Oath King,’ ruling the Radiant Kingdom, is one of the Three Ancient God Kings and highly likely possesses a ’Pillar Level’ deity rank. How, then, do you plan on breaking an oath established under Their witness?"
