Chapter 643: Chapter 184 The Complete Secrets of Genesis_1

[You have gained the complete secret of the "Cup." Recite it in any forgotten language, and you will reshape the flesh (you can resurrect any mortal below the Gold rank, including yourself).]

[Having once touched upon this secret and possessing transcendental perception, you have gained additional information (integrating it into a ritual with any influence from a dark domain, it can transform into a secret of the "Night"; integrating it with any influence from a mystical domain, it can transform into a secret of "Secrets").]

[You have obtained a complete Genesis secret, and your mind can no longer bear any more, your soul is overwhelmed (advance to Gold or release this secret before you can gain any more "historical" or higher level of mystical knowledge).]

"...Unbelievable."

Annan couldn’t help but blurt out a swear.

He had never imagined that by merely observing as a bystander, he could directly gain knowledge of a Genesis level.

It was even more complete than what Annan had received from his grandmother.

It seemed to be because the person reciting this knowledge—the "opposing force"—understood this secret far less than the grandmother. Hence, the power it contained was not as forceful as the phrases about "Winter" from last time.

Last time, when Annan called upon his grandmother, he had almost fainted from the burdens of bearing the secret of "Winter."

He had even triggered the blood-locking effect of the Winter’s Heart.

After all, no matter how the "opposing force" had obtained the secret, it was through secondhand knowledge.

And the grandmother... she might have personally experienced the ancient gods at the dawn of creation.

Her divine office as the goddess of winter was likely obtained at that time.

—The "experience" of seeing with one’s own eyes is naturally completely different from the "knowledge" heard from others.

Just by accepting the knowledge given by his grandmother... Annan’s fully crystallized soul already couldn’t withstand it.

But it was precisely because of this that Annan was able to use the power of the "Winter’s Word" to kill Glover, the [Spider], in the Sporogenesis Mill.

Even after expending that knowledge, it left a deep mark in Annan’s heart—like the scar of a blade embedded in the wooden board.

Although he could no longer remember it completely, if he tried hard to recall, Annan could still faintly perceive an extremely blurred remnant image.

It was a wild land with neither light nor fire. The profound and thick grey sky was silent, while the earth buried everything impartially... Annan couldn’t look at the sky or the earth, even his lungs and heart seemed to freeze. Breathing became difficult, even feeling a bit suffocated.

—That night, Annan had a strange nightmare.

He couldn’t remember the dream at all, but when he awoke, Annan’s back, the palms of his hands, and his forehead were all covered in frost.

It was the mark of sweat being frozen.

This was a sensation Annan had never experienced before.

Even if it concerned secrets from the Second Epoch or earlier, if consumed in a ritual, they would be completely erased from the heart.

The lips are merely the mouth of the bottle, and the words are the vapors wafting out. What truly gets consumed is the liquid inside the bottle—the essence of that knowledge in the mind.

Only the mere act of reciting something that possesses power is likely from the secrets before the Second Epoch or even deeper secrets. That is, "historical" or higher-level mystical knowledge.

However...

Annan, through Lin Yiyi’s eyes, took a deep look at the Sacrificial Saint.

The "opposing force" seemed to notice this gaze.

He paused, looked around for a moment, and then fixed his eyes on Lin Yiyi.

The young man smiled a little and nodded in greeting.

He even looked somewhat polite.

Lin Yiyi felt suddenly anxious—why had the saint nodded at her out of the blue?

Could it be that her remark had been overheard? That seemed unlikely...

Annan, however, was startled for a moment.

—Could he actually see me directly through Lin Yiyi’s eyes?

When I use the players’ eyes, do their eyes exhibit some special reaction?

Or is it that...

"...Henry Walden sensed that I had just acquired this mysterious knowledge?"

Thinking about it, the reason he sought out the Blood Hand Brothers seemed to be because they had come into possession of "erroneous knowledge," and he decided to come and reclaim it.

—Then, his benevolent nod to Annan probably meant "if the knowledge Annan possesses is correct, he would not intervene unnecessarily."

...Could it be that this saint’s role is specifically to eradicate rumors?

"However, the power of a True God is truly outrageous..."

They don’t even need to take action.

Merely the legends about them and the rumors of their twisted words possess the power of the Elemental, capable of instantaneously eradicating the bloody sea created from sacred remains. That is at least the power of "perfect Elemental Power."

So, the question arises again.

How did Saint Henry know that the mysterious knowledge the Blood Hand Brothers possessed was faulty, taken out of context?

Logically speaking, after forcing the Blood Hand Brothers to use this knowledge, they should have forgotten it.

Then, there would be no need for Henry to come back to life and erase it again.

And by looking at how proficient the Blood Hand Brothers were, it seemed they had used this knowledge before... yet they still have not forgotten it and can even use it normally now.

—Could it be that there’s actually a way to use the secrets of Genesis repeatedly?

Annan was immediately intrigued.

However, since the Blood Hand Brothers didn’t just reveal it outright, even if such a method exists, it likely has its limitations...

"...But a silver-tier soul, just by receiving a complete secret of Genesis, is already out of memory?"

Annan complained, "How did I ever become a great Ritualist before? It looks like, if one doesn’t reach Gold, they can’t possibly reach the end of the ritual path..."

Indeed, in my first life, I must have had some special ritualist-exclusive equipment...

From this perspective.

"This Henry could be..."

Annan murmured to himself.

The instant he received this mysterious knowledge, it answered many of Annan’s longstanding questions.

The Mysterious Lady turned out to be the daughter of the Goddess of Cup... No wonder the Mysterious Lady is also known as "The girl who is both impending and not." Annan had originally thought this described the Mysterious Lady’s "I am not here, yet I am everywhere," adding to her mystique.

But as it turned out, from the very beginning the Mysterious Lady was "both existent and non-existent." It was "night" that granted her a material form, allowing her to grow from an infant to a young girl.

Considering this, the Lady of Silence—also known as the Silent Lady, the Unspoken, the Woman Without Words or Sight—must hold power far greater than both the Mysterious Lady and the Goddess of Cup—because the power of both the Mysterious Lady and the Goddess of Cup came from her!
