Chapter 73 Finishing work
At this point, Lin Tuo finally understood the mystery of the falling ether, and the matter came to an end.
Behind him, the cheers of the reborn wizards gradually died down.
With the help of the main body, Lin Tuo also discovered the "reconnaissance personnel" who were riding flying monsters and flying towards here from the royal capital.
"We still have to deal with the follow-up." Lin Tuo sighed softly and began to think about the finishing work.
The "Nightmare" is dead and the polluted Holy City has been destroyed. However, this does not mean that the church as an institution has been completely eradicated.
There are countless large and small churches scattered across the continent, and a large number of pastors continue to maintain the operation of church branches. What is more profound is the faith embedded in everyone's heart.
Lin Tuo has no intention of eradicating these. As an integral and important part of human society, the disappearance of faith is likely to trigger a wider range of chaos.
Especially when the news of the destruction of the Holy City spreads, will he evolve into an "evil"?
After thinking about it, Lin Tuo sighed and whispered: "We still have to let the main body appear once and do a good job of comforting him."
With a thought, Lin Tuo's figure disappeared again, and his main consciousness switched back to his original body.
This once again caused a wave of tension among the wizards.
Moreover, when the officials riding flying monsters from the royal capital arrived and saw the ruins clearly, the nervousness became more intense.
At this time, thousands of wizards and the scout cavalry of the royal capital who had just arrived appeared with shocked expressions on their faces.
At the same time, I heard an extremely majestic and emotionless voice coming from the distant stars:
"The Northern Church has been polluted by evil spirits and has caused harm to the world. It is being wiped out today. All living beings in this world should take this as a warning."
This sound came from extremely high and far away from the depths of the sky, and spread easily to the entire world.
At this moment, countless creatures on the northern and southern continents raised their heads in astonishment and looked at the sky, feeling the indescribable majesty with different expressions.
Whether it's the wizards hiding in every corner of the continent, dormant in the shadows.
Or the unpolluted clergy in churches and monasteries, or the tens of millions of ordinary people, or even the spiritual monsters.
The moment they all heard this voice, the same word came to mind:
gods.
Thousands of wizards beside the huge fingerprints and between the ruins, as well as the knights from the royal capital, finally realized that the terrifying power that fell from the sky before came from the gods.
And that mysterious strong man may be an angel appointed by the gods.
All doubts have been explained.
"Click click click."
On the virtual screen and the running log, a new line of text was typed out at this moment:
[The evolution of the world, AD 3653, the spiritual world creatures died, and the Northern Church headquarters was destroyed... After three thousand years, humans once again heard the voice of the gods]
…
…
Lishan Martial Arts School, in the study room.
When Lin Tuo finished saying these words, he stood up, left the scope of the "isolation cover", and glanced at the contents of the operation log, the hanging stone in his heart finally fell.
By pretending to be a god again and sending down a real "oracle", it should be enough to solve the subsequent troubles.
Of course, there will still be conflicts in details, but Lin Tuo doesn't have the energy to calm all the forces bit by bit.
"Make sure there are no problems in the general direction, and leave the remaining internal conflicts among the people to themselves and their time."
Sighing softly, Lin Tuo lowered his head and looked down at the sand table, and then focused his gaze on the blue-white aura that was slowly dissipating after the death of "Nightmare" and gathered within the Holy City.
That is the ether that escapes after death of creatures in the spiritual world.
Of course, Lin Tuo was not prepared to let it go. He immediately used the "breath-eating method" to inhale most of it into his body. Of course, he also left some behind for the wizards to absorb and restore their strength.
However, despite this, this mouthful still brought him an income of about two thousand points.
I looked at the ether points I had reserved, and found that the total amount had reached three thousand points.
It’s not like the trouble was in vain.
Of course, the price is that the color of the arrow with falling ether concentration becomes denser, almost falling to the "low" level.
"Forget it, a little waste is acceptable. Once the nightmare crisis is solved, we can recover soon." Thinking in his heart, Lin Tuo did not immediately activate "Time Acceleration".
First, he was prepared to observe the follow-up and be more cautious, which was always the right thing to do.
Secondly, many of the books previously collected from the Terai Kingdom were still thrown on the unnamed desert island. They need time to sort out. If they are accelerated rashly, they will probably rot quickly.
But this is not urgent.
In contrast, it is more important to understand the information about the "spiritual world".
…
"Squeak...squeak..."
Taking his eyes away from the sand table, Lin Tuo looked out the window.
The waning moon hangs high.
Different from the evening in the sandbox, in reality, it was already around 9:40 late at night, almost ten o'clock.
Before entering the sand table cooking church, Lin Tuo and Hua Xi had dinner. At this moment, when he opened the window, he heard the sound of insects coming from the corner of the martial arts arena.
The courtyard is bright and quiet.
"At this time, Huaxi should be meditating in the bedroom."
After muttering softly, Lin Tuo poured himself a cup of tea, then sat at the desk again, called out the virtual panel, and focused his attention on the previous "reminder".
"Read information about the spiritual world." He whispered the corresponding thought in his heart.
[Relevant information has been transmitted]
The Evolution Sandbox immediately gave feedback, and an illusory flow of information was injected into Lin Tuo's mind. After about a minute or two, Lin Tuo opened his eyes again, with a little more understanding in his eyes.
At this point, he finally had a better understanding of the so-called "spiritual world".
Previously, Lin Tuo's only understanding of the "spiritual world" came from the definition of ether given by the Evolution Sandbox.
To put it simply, the energy of ether is the "material world" that enters from the "spiritual world".
The material world refers to the earth where he lives and the observable universe composed of "matter".
Correspondingly, the "spirit world" is more abstract, indescribable, mysterious and unknown. It seems to have no clear entrance and is everywhere at the same time.
Even for the information related to unlocking, there is no particularly accurate description of it. I don’t know if it is really difficult to understand or if the permissions are insufficient.
But it’s not like nothing was gained.
According to Lin Tuo's understanding, the spiritual world seems to overlap with the material world.
Therefore, in theory, any location is an entrance, and the existence of intelligent life will cause the ether to separate from the invisible spiritual world.
Similarly, once the intelligent life in the material world decreases, the ether will quietly return to the spiritual world and disappear.
Of course there are creatures within the spirit world, but their forms are incomprehensible to humans. In most cases, the two sides have no intersection and do not interfere with each other, but sometimes, there are exceptions.
For example, there is a very small probability that some beings born in the material world will connect with the spiritual world for some unknown reason, and obtain some revelations or extraordinary powers.
For another example, over a long period of time, there will be creatures from the spiritual world that enter the material world due to various accidents.
Like "Nightmare".
"According to the information given by the sand table, the state of creatures in the spiritual world is similar to that of souls, and it is difficult to directly affect the material world. Therefore, if you want to fully exert your power, you often need to be attached to certain entities."
"In Sandbox 2, the nightmare finally chose to possess the Pope and attack me."
At the desk, some of Lin Tuo's doubts were finally solved.
As for the "Secret Seal" in Sandbox No. 1, it is somewhat different from the "Nightmare".
"According to the information, in addition to ether, the spiritual world is also filled with a certain kind of power called 'spirituality', which is also the origin of creatures in the spiritual world...
Spirituality cannot exist independently, so once it accidentally enters the material world, it must be attached to an entity... The secret seal is a piece of jade, an extraordinary object that is born after being infected by spirituality."
"Previously, some of the 'superpowers' that some evolved people in the wasteland were born with were also possessed by spiritual beings."
in short.
Whether it is a person or a stone, once it is possessed by spirituality, it will naturally acquire some extraordinary power.
"Spirituality seems to be heritable, but it will also gradually dilute... This can explain the phenomenon of wizards' weakening power."
At the same time, creatures in the spiritual world are born with the need to devour "spirituality", absorb ether, and strengthen themselves.
Therefore, when "Nightmare" accidentally entered Sandbox No. 2 and sensed the weak "spirituality" in the bodies of the wizards on the mainland, it naturally tried to devour it.
