Three days later, in the stone marrow building.
In the silent basement.
No, it should be said that in the basement.
Even though this dilapidated basement was only about ten square meters, Huai Shi's physical strength and various tools still took him three full days to dig it out. It was only yesterday that he had finished digging.
The shoddy air purifier buzzed, slowly sending fresh air down bit by bit. However, it still couldn't disperse the oppressive atmosphere of this place. On the contrary, it made him feel even more annoyed.
Under the flickering yellow light, Huai Shi wore a mask. He expressionlessly raised the emerald green syringe in his hand and walked step by step into the corner.
In the corner, the tied up Crow was frantically struggling. It trembled and its eyes were filled with panic.
"To be honest, you've always helped me, but it's really hard to predict that things would end up like this … …"
Huai Shi grabbed its neck and stabbed the syringe. The emerald green poison was slowly pushed into its chest. "Rest in peace, my dear friend."
In the blink of an eye, the Crow quickly shriveled up.
It was as if it had been weathered for decades. In the blink of an eye, it was dehydrated and dried up. Only the poisonous Origin Substance rose from the shriveled corpse like mist and quickly dissipated into the air.
Huai Shi stared at it with pity. After a long time, he threw the Crow's corpse into the trash can in the corner without any pity.
"It looks like it was a success."
He turned around and looked at the Crow standing on the table. "What do you think?"
"I say, you're just testing a medicine. Can you not do all these fancy things?"
The real Crow stared at him. No, to be honest, Huai Shi didn't know if she was really a Crow or not, but she looked like one.
"It's one thing to test a medicine, but you deliberately bought so many Crows. You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
"Since I'm going to test the medicine anyway, why not find an animal that can make me a little happier, right?" Huai Shi stared deeply at the scammer in front of him. "As for why the test subject looks like you, I can only say that you're overthinking it. It's just a coincidence."
"Wow, what a scumbag's tone. You're no longer that innocent and cute little Huai Shi."
"… So whose fault do you think this is?!"
While bickering, the two climbed up the ladder to the basement. After closing the door, Huai Shi passed through the sterilization room and several sets of sterilization equipment before finally returning to the basement of the chalcedony hall.
The entrance to the cellar had been strictly separated by layers of physical isolation.
It was a biochemical level defense.
After returning to the basement, Huai Shi's first reaction was to walk to the corner and look at the wooden bottle that was solemnly placed in the center of the thermostat cabinet.
Or rather, the Tree Blood Urn.
Now, the wood grain and scars on it were completely different from when it was first brought back. The faces had already moved and overlapped with each other. In the end, it formed a three-dimensional face that resembled Huai Shi, as if it had been carved out of it.
It was already 80% similar.
If Huai Shi hadn't seen it become like this with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that it was naturally formed.
"It's about to mature."
Crow glanced at the bottle and nodded slightly, "Keep watering it every six hours. It will probably enter the final stage tonight."
Huai Shi shrugged, took out a knife, and cut his wrist.
Fresh blood with rich negative energy slowly flowed out of the wound and dripped down from his fingers into the Tree Blood Urn. After filling up the cup's groove, it slowly seeped into the wooden texture.
In the sound of growth, Huai Shi could even see his face on the bottle changing little by little.
It was becoming more and more like him.
This was what Crow said, a tool that was crucial for Huai Shi's advancement.
"Rather than an advancement, it's better to say that it's an adjustment before the advancement."
Crow said mysteriously, "You see, sometimes if you want to smuggle from Africa, you have to think of more ways …"
"Smuggle? What smuggle? "
Huai Shi subconsciously became alert, "Don't tell me it's a conversion of the system?"
"It's not a conversion of the system, emmmmm, how should I put it … Let me think."
Crow pondered for a moment and explained, "Now you know that the so-called Abyssal System is actually the Celestial genealogy established by the Astronomy Society … But in fact, the Astronomy Society is only a processor, not a creator. Do you understand?
No miracle comes out of thin air. No matter how powerful the Astronomy Society is, even if they can restart the world more than a dozen times, endlessly subvert the law of conservation of matter and recreate the universe, they still can't create a real 'miracle' out of thin air. "
"Isn't this a miracle?" Huai Shi asked.
"Then, let's have another basic lesson."
Crow paused for a moment and said seriously, "Strictly speaking, among scholars, the so-called miracle is not a supernatural phenomenon or an incredible thing created by the gods. It specifically refers to the changes above the laws of the world, the instructions and the embryonic form of the phenomenon that directly overflows from the axis of the world.
Of course, a large part of it comes from the gods that were born with the world, but there is still a part … that doesn't belong to the gods, do you understand? "
Huai Shi understood a little, but he always felt that the topic she was talking about was very strange, as if she was hiding something from him, but it seemed that he was just a little bit away from understanding it.
Separated by a layer of window paper.
"The so-called Celestial genealogy, which is the Abyssal System that has fallen today, is a part of this miracle converted into the source code through the records and recreated."
Crow said this and saw that Hao Ren was still confused. She couldn't help but sigh helplessly, "Well, I'll say it bluntly — the records and inheritance of the Abyssal System are created by humans."
For a moment, Huai Shi fell into a daze, "Created … by humans?"
"Yes, if it corresponds to the miracles created by the gods, what is recorded in the Celestial genealogy is the traces of humans — for thousands of years, it was obtained by humans, driven by humans, controlled and used by humans, and finally ended by humans and recorded by humans."
Crow's tone became complicated, "The real meaning of the name Celestial genealogy is to abandon the dead gods and create the paradise of heaven with the hands of humans.
But because of this arrogance, after the fall, it was called the Abyssal System, right? But this is too far away from you.
To be honest, I didn't want you to know these things, but now it seems that there is no point in hiding it all the time. You should have the right to know. "
The crow looked at him deeply. "Now you know what the 'Kingdom of Heaven' really wants to preserve, don't you?"
In a daze, Huai Shi took out the Book of Destiny and looked at its title page in astonishment. After a long time, he looked up stiffly, "You mean … all the paths of sublimation and advancement of the Celestial genealogy?"
"Ah, yes."
Crow nodded slowly, "In addition to the massive number of soul copies, the seventy-seven types of stigmata developed by the Celestial genealogy and nine complete paths of sublimation were all preserved in it until the Republic was completely divided. And with the disappearance of the previous president, all of this disappeared with the fall of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Now, the remnants of the Republic who have fallen into the Abyss may still hold a part of it, right? But they are not having a good time now, even worse than Green Sun. It is basically difficult for them to show up in the present world.
After all, they have been listed as the 'Elements of Destruction.' From the people who protect the world to the existence that destroys the world, I don't know what those guys from the Golden Dawn are thinking. "
Huai Shi's expression was stiff.
He did not know what expression to make.
He now began to consider whether it was too late for him to pack up his things and find a remote border to hide from the limelight. If he was found to have the Book of Destiny … he would definitely end up in a terrible state.
"Don't worry. Only you and I know. Besides, you are now just a passerby. How would others know that the Book of Destiny is in your hands?"
Crow selectively ignored KP and the others and comforted him, "Besides, although there are not many people in the Celestial genealogy now, there are still quite a few of them. It's normal to have one or two. Besides, even if you don't say that you are a Celestial genealogy, no one can tell! "
Huai Shi was already disheartened and did not want to pay attention to her, but this was related to his next advancement. He could only continue to look at her, hoping to hear good news.
"Presumably, you should have noticed that many times in history, human traces and divine traces often complement each other. The boundary between the two is actually not as clear as the definition above. It's just which side is the focus."
Crow paused for a moment and revealed a mysterious smile, "This leads to the fact that sometimes, the two areas may overlap —"
Huai Shi was stunned for a long time before he reacted and was furious, "Isn't this just a f * cking traitor!"
"Why are you saying it so harshly? Can an official traitor be called a traitor? "Crow said in a trembling voice," This is called the FBI! "
"…" Huai Shi was speechless.
"Ahem, what were we talking about? Oh, traitor … "
Crow continued, "From the beginning of its construction, the Kingdom of Heaven's genealogy pursued universality and adaptability to the Infernal Realm. Almost all of the Origin Codices of the Six Great Genealogies were absorbed, and the power of the entire human race was gathered to create a copycat … cough cough, the construction was completed.
Therefore, all the basic stigmata actually have their corresponding prototypes in the other genealogies. Of the nine paths of ascension, five and a half are reflected in the six major genealogies today.
In other words, although these paths of ascension carry the essence of Celestial genealogy, they still have the characteristics and signs of the other genealogies. "
"Why are there only five and a half?" Huai Shi was curious.
"Because before half of the path could be completed, the previous president who presided over the work disappeared …" Crow shrugged and revealed a mysterious smile, "In short, don't worry, as long as you choose the path of ascension well, even if you're a traitor in your bones, no one will be able to tell on the surface."
After all, the development of Hell had not stopped in these years. Newly discovered stigmata were common, and the various genealogies were constantly collecting and organizing them.
Moreover, the abyss genealogy was just a fallen one, and it was not a taboo. There were still many people wandering around, and no one was against it.
Although the existence of the Book of Destiny was more important, as long as Huai Shi could keep it a secret, no one would use it against Huai Shi.
After Crow's explanation, Huai Shi finally relaxed a little.
But there was nothing he could do. He was already in the car, and it was too late to jump out now. He only cared about what model Crow wanted to modify his illegal car.
"I've also been thinking about this problem these days."
Crow sighed, "After all, you'll be active in Dongxia and the surrounding borders for a long time in the future. Considering this point, and the fact that one of the paths of ascension of the Yin soul corresponds to the Dongxia genealogy, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
Letting you participate in the Culinary Demon Competition and obtain the Urn of Tree Blood was to prepare for this.
Next, we just need to slightly adjust the structure of the Yin soul to the prototype of the path of ascension, and then we can consider the matter of ascension. "
Hearing her description, Huai Shi was completely convinced.
So this illegal car of the Yin soul could be modified and modified at any time.
"No matter what, we'll put on the Dongxia license plate first, is that what you mean?"
Huai Shi sighed helplessly, and finally asked, "Which path of ascension is it? What kind of ascension is it? You should at least tell me, right?"
"Oh? Are you that impatient? I wanted to give you a surprise. "
Crow raised her invisible eyebrows and smiled.
"In Dongxia, 'Stigmata Yin Soul' should be called 'Ceremonial Soul'. People who have this miracle are given the mission of serving death.
Its corresponding ascension is called 'Mountain Ghost'.
And in the Celestial genealogy catalog, this path of ascension from Dongxia is called 'Heaven's Inquisition'. "
Heaven's Inquisition?
For a moment, Huai Shi was confused by this fashionable name, but then, he reacted.
"Wait a minute!"
He widened his eyes, "Mountain Ghost, isn't it a woman?"
Crow didn't say anything, just looked at him.
She smiled.
