Within the cafeteria, Ka Diya carefully explained to Luo Ya the structure of this world's supernatural powers, allowing Luo Ya, who had never really understood much about these things, to completely reconstruct himself.
Ka Diya first explained the concept of Shamans. Shamans were a term used to refer to some people, but it wasn't actually an accurate term. It was a bit like the workers in Luo Ya's previous world.
Repairing cars, writing code, moving bricks — most people could be called workers, but it was impossible to know who they were and what they did. It was very vague.
"To describe a supernatural person's power, we should start with Origin Substance, then Origin Grade, and finally the path. For example, the Saint Might Warriors in the Holy Capital should be called [Benevolence] Origin Grade 3, Light Protectors."
"Benevolence?"
"That's right. This is their Origin Substance. It can also be said to be the classification of power and the path to advancement."
Ka Diya earnestly explained to Luo Ya. After expending a lot of effort, Luo Ya finally understood the meaning of Origin Substances.
There were originally no paths in this world, but after many people walked them, they became paths.
This saying came from a famous person in Luo Ya's previous world, but in this world, it could be used as an explanation for Origin Substances.
The pursuit of transcendence and the acquisition of greater power was the main theme of this world that had not changed since the first era. It was not recorded in the history books of mankind and only existed in poems. Naturally, there would be winners and losers in the long road of exploration.
Let's not talk about losers for now, but when a winner appeared, they would often do one thing: record down their own path for future generations to refer to. This was the Origin Substance from the very beginning.
Origin Substances could be understood as a relatively stable path to advancement. It allowed people who were originally aimlessly exploring to quickly enter the supernatural realm, and then safely climb up step by step according to the experiences of their predecessors.
"Father, how many Origin Substances are there?"
"No one knows. Since ancient times, we've discovered tens of thousands of Origin Substances, but there aren't many that are common, and there are even fewer that are suitable for humans."
"Suitable for humans?"
"That's right. The Origin Substances that humans use now are actually left behind by the ancient races that disappeared. For example, [Benevolence] from before. Legend has it that it was an Origin Substance discovered by the angels, and it belonged to the Heathcliff family. It's a system that only the Theocracy has."
Ka Diya's words opened a door for Luo Ya. Before this, the youth had never thought that the supernatural power in this world would be so complicated, and there was no such thing as a warrior profession... No wonder the game in his previous life had completely omitted it.
"I understand. Then, father, you belong to the Origin substance [Benevolence] system?"
"No, my Origin Substance is [Wisdom], an Origin Substance that originated from the Scholar's Country, Bulonia. Its origin can no longer be traced, and it is one of the three Origin Substances recognized by the Church."
"Three substances" Origin substances? "
"Yes, Saint Mestre's [Mercy], Bulonia's [Wisdom], and Pendor's [Courage]. These three Origin Substances are deemed to be the most suitable for humans and are also recognized by the Church. Other than that, the Church doesn't recognize any other Origin Substances. Those who use them as the source of power are deemed as heretics."
"But, but why is that?"
"Apart from these three most suitable Origin Substances for humans, the other Origin Substances are either very unstable or unsuitable for humans. Following this system might have serious consequences, such as not being able to advance smoothly or having terrible side effects."
"I see. Then, what happens if I'm judged as a Heretic?"
"If you're judged as a Heretic, you won't be able to enter the Holy Capital. The Xi Ya Church in all the countries will not receive you, and you won't have any of the benefits of the Church. You can say that you're being ostracized, but that's all."
"… Won't I be caught and burned to death?"
Luo Ya asked carefully, and Ka Diya was stunned.
"Of course not. There are too many small sects in each country. Even the Theocracy doesn't have the power to do such a thing. Besides, many Heretics didn't commit any crimes, so how could they be burned to death? However, there are some extremely vicious Heretics that are within the Theocracy's attack range. "
"Oh, that's good. That's good."
Hearing the man's answer, the boy heaved a sigh of relief and felt a little safer.
It seemed that the Church in this world wasn't as scary as the Middle Ages in his previous world. They wouldn't randomly use witches to judge people and put them on the stake. This made Luo Ya, who was in the Gold Exchange District, calm down a little.
"Then, what happens if the nobles in our Theocracy are Heretics? Won't they be killed? "
"Not if they haven't committed any crimes, but they will be stripped of their noble status."
“.....”
Tsk, isn't that the same as being crippled?
