Gluttonous Warlock

Chapter 361 The Truth Society
Creating life and giving soul is a miracle that can only be accomplished by the "origin of life" combined with the "divine power of life".

Allen was amazed and even wondered whether, in addition to Luo Tianhua, the "Lord of Life" in the entire multiverse where the Warlock World is located, there are other powers that can create the same miracle?

Luo Tianhua seemed to see through his mind and shook his head gently.

"I can resurrect the dead, create life, and even create souls out of thin air. However, the 'origin of life' is not omnipotent. There are some things that even I cannot do."

"For example?" Allen asked.

"For example, liberating the souls imprisoned by the 'Wall of Heresy'."

Luo Tianhua sighed, his eyes looking a little more lonely.

"Alan, you also know that the City of Memories in the Shadow Underworld lost its owner many years ago."

"In fact, the previous generation's 'Lord of Death' Luo Tianye, before reincarnation, was my twin sister...named Yiluolin."

"She is smarter than me and has greater potential. Unfortunately, she was unlucky. In order to protect the Bloodline Galaxy, she unfortunately died in a fight with the ancient evil god. Her soul was bound by the wall of heresy."

"Over the years, I have been conducting research on creating life and souls, trying to resurrect my sister, but all experiments have ended in failure."

Allen's heart moved and he quickly asked her: "Your Highness Hua, does the soul of the previous generation of 'Lords of Death' being bound mean that there will be no new 'Lords of Death' born in the future?"

Luo Tianhua shook his head and patiently explained to him:
"The inheritance link of the Holy Demon Sect Master is not the soul, but the blood. What happened to my sister will not affect the reincarnation of the new Death Sect Master."

"It's just that the newly born sect master of death cannot find my sister's soul in the blood galaxy. The memory chain passed down through the generations is missing a link."

"Now that I have recognized the reality, I am trying to save Elorin's soul. The current strength alone is not enough, unless I am promoted to the ancestor or the true god."

"The Holy Demon Ancestor is on top. We, the sect masters, will never be able to become the ancestors. This road will not work. We can only turn to the Conferred God. This is my personal reason for supporting the Conferred God plan."

"As for saving the world and protecting fellow tribesmen...it's more out of obligation to find a high-sounding excuse for one's actions."

"You once asked Xiaoguang, will the world become better after the sect leaders become gods?"

"On behalf of myself, I tell you honestly that in the world after becoming a god, the lives of ordinary people may not be better."

"But my poor sister may be freed from this!"

"If you think I am selfish, I will not deny it. Precisely to combat selfish thoughts, I am more eager to become a true god. Through the faith contract, I force myself to take care of believers who are closely connected to my own interests and become less selfish."

Allen said nothing.

Luo Tianhua's idea is understandable and can even be said to be inevitable.

Attributing great power to oneself will inevitably lead to absolute selfishness and regard all living beings as dust.

Luo Tianhua is still thinking about his sister, which is considered sentimental.

The ancestors who left the world of warlocks were more ruthless than her.

"Alan, Xiaoguang and I, as well as several other sect leaders, have long been aware that the plan to become a god is not perfect."

"After we become gods, it is inevitable that the sects we created will conflict, causing brothers and sisters to turn against each other."

"But in order to take the overall situation into consideration, we can only bite the bullet and implement the plan to confer the gods, take it one step at a time, and find ways to solve the hidden dangers in the future."

"Until you appeared, you proposed a new way out that we had never imagined. It may be possible to fill the loopholes in the God Conferred Plan."

"Because of this, I will fully support you in implementing the Magic Network!"

"Thank you for your support, Your Highness Hua, and thank you even more for opening your heart to me and pouring out your sorrows."

Allen said seriously.

"My current strength is still very weak. Talking about helping you solve your problems would seem arrogant and ridiculous. If you find me useful in the future, I will definitely try my best."

Luo Tianhua nodded, with a smile on his face.

"I will remember your promise, Allen. When the day comes when you become the ancestor, don't forget our agreement."

After saying that, she held the reagent bottle containing Allen's blood, walked to the World Tree, and raised her hand to stroke a transparent fruit.

Inside the fruit is a peaceful world.

Along the clear lakeside, there are green grass and herds of bison walking.

In the blue sky, the golden sun hangs high.

However, at this moment, the sun suddenly turned into a beautiful big eye, blinking its thick eyelashes, overlooking the earth.

Immediately afterwards, a dimensional gap opened in the void, and the sky was slowly lifted, like a box lid being opened.

A big white hand reached in and poured out the blood in the bottle.

Accompanied by the sound of pattering.

Blood rained on the lake.

Tiny blood beads bounce and roll happily on the water, blending into the lake while maintaining their independence.

Like a group of crimson tadpoles swimming in the lake.

The big hand in the air swayed out a cloud of gray magic power.

Shrouded in this magical gray mist, the blood droplets accelerated their evolution and transformed into the embryonic shape of a human baby.

Allen stood side by side with Luo Tianhua, watching her cast a spell to catalyze the growth of blood drops.

This seems to be a legendary spell similar to the "Sands of Time", which also incorporates the origin of life, which can shorten the long growth and even evolution process of living creatures to a matter of seconds.

There are swarms of little creatures in the lake that look like human babies.

Occasionally, he becomes something like a dragon but not a dragon, or something like a snake but not a snake, which reflects the bloodline characteristics of Leviathan.

Not long after, these little creatures came ashore from the water and began to try to live on land.

They are still very young, but they have already mastered the technique of transforming into "taotie form" based on their blood instinct.

In this small world, rise to the top of the food chain!
Just like Allen himself, no matter how he evolves, he still retains more than 90% of human blood.

This group of little beings evolved from Allen's blood, as a new independent race, whether male or female, at first glance, they are not much different from humans.

However, their attributes are three times stronger than humans on average!
Stronger, prettier, and smarter!
Some of the little guys with super high spiritual attributes and awakened spiritual power can even sense Alan and Luo Tianhua who are paying close attention to them outside the sky.

He looked up at the sky and called "Dad" and "Mom" with childishness.

Allen was moved and a little embarrassed, and said to Luo Tianhua: "Children are ignorant and talk without restraint."

Luo Tianhua pursed his lips and smiled, and said calmly: "It is true that these babies are transformed from your essence and blood, but they are also fused with the origin of my life. It is not wrong to call me mother."

"Okay, let them grow up freely in this peaceful world, and let's talk about remuneration."

Luo Tianhua raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Magical energy rippled in the air, opening a dimensional cave specifically for storage.

She reached in and felt around, took out four potion bottles, turned around and handed them to Allen.

It includes one level 5 rejuvenation agent and one tube each of age-freezing agent. After injection, the effects of rejuvenation and life extension... can last for thousands of years!
There are also two legendary level super magic skills awakening agents.

……

Mass super magic: Consume three times the magic power, a single spell or supernatural ability, and spread it to the surrounding area of ​​the target.

Constant super magic: A spell or supernatural ability that consumes four times the magic power and lasts for more than one round will take effect permanently.

……

In addition to these gifts, Luo Tianhua also generously told Ellen: If you have any requests, you can make them and she will try her best to satisfy them.

Allen didn't intend to make any excessive demands.

"Your Highness Hua, I am very interested in pharmacy. I see many exotic flowers and plants cultivated in your garden. I am very envious. I wonder if I can collect some medicinal materials in the garden?"

"No problem at all."

Luo Tianhua readily agreed.

After Alan thanked him, he restrained his excitement and walked among the flowers.

Follow the system prompts to collect special ingredients.

After some searching, a total of 77 potential points were obtained.

The physical, agility and mental attributes were increased by 9 points, 5 points and 13 points respectively.

……

Current attributes: Physique 172, Dexterity 142, Spirit 190
Current resistance: Immunosenescence/Virus/Science/Prophecy/Psychic/Water/Fire/Electricity/Acid/Cold/Wind/Light, necrosis level 10

Potential reserve: 140 points

……

On the system panel, the "potential reserve" data exceeded double digits for the first time.

Allen was not satisfied.

In order to efficiently analyze spell configurations and enrich the magic network database, no amount of potential is too much!
……

Warlock world.

Silver Moon Island, New Quinte Town.

At dawn, the snow has not stopped.The Panthers' mansion was brightly lit all night.

Allen's mother, sister, and junior sisters Angel and Julie were all in the delivery room to accompany Tanya, who was about to give birth.

Allen and his father stood outside the delivery room, looking forward to the birth of the third generation of the Panthers family.

It has been three months since he returned to his hometown. Allen finally welcomed the day of becoming a father, and it was inevitable that he would feel a little uneasy.

In the delivery room, Tanya's painful moans could be heard from time to time, which touched his heart.

Tanya was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. She had been practicing physical exercises for many years and had a special constitution that made it more difficult for women to give birth than ordinary mothers.

But that's not a big deal.

Allen knew very well that all he could do was wait patiently, but he couldn't help but get up and pace, unable to hide his anxiety.

The mayor was sitting in an armchair, smoking his pipe.

Seeing his son spinning around, he raised his crutch and slapped him on the butt angrily.

"You kid, can't you just wait quietly? You're spinning around so much that my eyes are dizzy!"

Allen rubbed his butt and asked his father with a wry smile: "Dad, when I was born, were you nervous?"

The mayor shook his head and told his son frankly: "I don't feel nervous at all. After all, I have had experience. However, when your sister was born, I was a little nervous."

"Dad, you are too partial..." Allen complained angrily.

The mayor laughed and said to his son: "You can't sit still anyway, so why not go for a walk in the yard outside."

Allen thought about it and felt that going for a walk would indeed help relieve his anxiety, so he accepted his father's suggestion, got up and went out, walking alone to the courtyard where the snow was falling.

The night wind blew in my face, and snowflakes fell on my face, giving me a gentle coolness.

Allen's energy refreshed and his anxiety calmed down.

During his vacation at home, in addition to spending time with his family, Allen did not delay in testing the Magic Network.

He first promoted the Magic Network within the family. Kelly, Tanya, Angel, and Julie were the first batch of Magic Network users he developed, and they also obtained administrator rights to help him maintain the Magic Network.

The first phase of testing achieved the expected success.

On this basis, Allen expanded the scope of testing.

An organization called the "Truth Society" was specially created for this purpose and openly recruited members.

Allen personally designed the emblem for the "Truth Society".

The black sphere symbolizes the unknown universe.

In the center of the black ball, there is a white number "3" embedded in it, indicating the purpose of the Truth Society:
In addition to bloodline and religion, through your own wisdom and hard work, you can open up a third way to obtain extraordinary power!
Anyone who is interested in seeking knowledge can join the Truth Society and gain access to the Magic Network and learn extraordinary knowledge.

Those who join must swear to follow the "Oath of Truth", which is also the user agreement of Magic Network.

The content of the agreement is very simple. It promises that during the period of contact with the Magic Network, all learning experiences and insights, as well as the inspiration inspired and new knowledge created on this basis, will be shared openly and without reservation, and will be provided to other Magic Network users free of charge.

The simple protocol embodies the open source spirit, which is Allen's original intention in creating Magic Network.

Based on this spiritual core, the knowledge base carried by the Magic Network can continue to expand like a snowball and never be exhausted.

Members of the "Truth Society" are called "Masters".

Allen also designed an upgrade system for the new extraordinary profession "Mage".

The level of the mage is linked to the access rights to the magic network.

The lowest level mage apprentice can only access the most basic database of the magic network and obtain extraordinary knowledge of level 0 magic.

Mage apprentices who are proficient in at least one magic level skill have the prerequisites for upgrading.

On this basis, sufficient magic network contributions must be accumulated.

Uploading learning experience, publishing research papers, providing creative research topics, or contributing your own brain power to help analyze spell configurations can be regarded as contributing to the Magic Network ecology, and you will receive "experience points" rewards of different points.

After accumulating enough experience points, you can unlock higher-level access rights and learn level 1 magic, or extraordinary skills of the same level.

As a result, the mage apprentice was promoted to a first-level mage.

Next, in addition to studying, you must also contribute your own wisdom and energy to contribute to the Magic Network ecology and gain experience points to continue to improve your level.

By analogy, from mage apprentice to first-level, second-level, third-level... to ninth-level mage, a complete upgrade system is constructed.

The knowledge mastered by mages far exceeds that of warlocks and priests of the same level.

Although the actual combat ability is not necessarily stronger than the latter, the initiative is in your own hands as to what magic skills you want to learn.

You can freely choose to specialize in a certain school of magic according to your personal talents and preferences, and plan your career future.

Based on this alone, you have more freedom and a higher limit than a warlock who can only rely on his ancestors and luck to decide which spell to awaken, or a priest who passively prays to his idol for divine spells!

During the three-month test period, Allen found that Magic Network users who started on the same starting line quickly widened the gap.

Two people who joined the Society of Truth on the same day had similar efforts. Three months later, one of them was still an apprentice, and the other had been promoted to a first-level mage.

The mage system built on the Magic Network is similar to Allen's scientific research system in his previous life.

The smarter and more creative practitioners are, the more they will be able to thrive in this system.

People who are not smart enough can achieve some results through hard work alone, but it is difficult to become a pioneer in the academic field.

From this perspective, the mage profession is not absolutely fair.

The level of intelligence varies from person to person.

Based on this reality, it is impossible to require everyone to invest the same energy and master the same knowledge.

The Magic Network provides everyone with an equal opportunity to learn extraordinary knowledge. As for the extent to which they can ultimately grow, it depends on individual efforts and talents.

Allen does not demand that everyone can get the same rewards in the Magic Network. Such a mechanism will stifle genius.

Regarding the positioning of the "Truth Society", Allen once had a small dispute with his sister Kelly.

Allen did not serve as the president himself, but entrusted this title and related matters to his sister.

Astute Kelly, in the process of presiding over the society, keenly discovered that this academic organization could be transformed into a religious group.

For example, by adding the "Oath of Truth" that the initiates must abide by and the oath of worshiping the founder of the Magic Network, the initiation ceremony becomes a religious ceremony.

In this way, members can be more strictly controlled, so that every swearer can provide Allen with faith.

Kelly felt this would bring more benefits to her brother.

Allen explicitly opposed this.

If the mage becomes a priest and the dragon slayer eventually becomes an evil dragon, it will violate his original intention of opening up the third path.

Just like the promise he made to Luo Tianhua, in order to implement his concept, Allen must insist that the "Truth Society" draw a clear line between it and religious groups.

Neither Allen himself nor any other god is worthy of worship by mages.

The only thing worthy of worship by a mage is the truth.

However, things in this world often do not depend on personal will.

Luo Tianhua once said to him, "Some things are hard to pursue but cannot be obtained, and some things are not expected at all, but you can have them accidentally."

Allen didn't quite understand her intentions at first.

It wasn't until he returned to his hometown and founded the "Truth Society" that the promotion and testing of the Magic Network were proceeding smoothly, and Allen gradually realized the deeper meaning of these words.

Although the Truth Society deliberately obscured the creator of the magic network according to his wishes, it was attributed to the collective of the Holy Demon Ancestral Court.

However, as the de facto "Lord of the Magic Network", Allen still received many religious wishes.

The will power is very weak, and most of them cannot be said to be pious.

Believers do not expect to obtain divine magic or divine enlightenment from the "Lord of the Magic Network", but purely respect and gratitude from the heart.

Despite this, due to the large number, it still provided Allen with a lot of profits.

This made him realize that people could not only worship a specific god, but also an abstract idea.

For example, the mages of the Truth Society sincerely agree with the concepts of tolerance, justice and sharing of knowledge that the "Lord of the Magic Network" embodies by creating the Magic Network.

Those who agree with the above concepts will naturally become believers of the "Lord of the Magic Network", just like those atheists who believe in a certain philosophy or science.

It doesn't matter whether the "Lord of the Magic Network" is Zhang San, Li Si, or a certain organization.

From this perspective, philosophers and scientists are also "theologians".

Every teacher is a "missionary" of knowledge.

In the delivery room behind him, a baby cried suddenly, interrupting Allen's thoughts.

He turned around quickly, and with the excitement of becoming a father for the first time, he hurried to the delivery room and returned home to the people.
