Chapter 1 New Abilities and Pure White Eyes
After being excited for a while, Abner recalled the experience he had just had after taking the magic potion, but he couldn't help but frown.
Because the state of being immersed in the "world of absolute rationality" and wandering in different tributaries of the "River of Destiny" is really too dangerous!
Of course, this does not mean that Abner encountered great danger during his promotion... On the contrary, his promotion was relatively smooth.
However, he is different from ordinary "secret instructors". As early as Sequence 9, he was accustomed to the mental "multi-threaded" state due to the ability provided by the "Pure White Eyes", not to mention the fact that he held a competition for promotion to Sequence 4. The scale of the "ritual" is definitely unique, and the effect of "anchoring" reality is also very good.
But even if all these conveniences are added together, Abner still has lingering fears about the horror of the "River of Destiny"... If he were not careful, he might be stuck in it forever and become a part of that world!
He is still like this. When other "secret masters" advance, how lucky do they have to be to succeed?
"Or, am I special? That's why I went deep into the 'River of Destiny'... When others advanced, they just watched from a distance?"
“Is this the influence of the ‘Wheel of Fortune’ that ran behind the ‘Pure White Eyes’?
"Well, I remember Lilith once said that after becoming a demigod, I am qualified to have a preliminary understanding of the secret of the 'Pure White Eye'... but it is best not to go in personally..."
Although the thoughtful Abner wanted to explore the "space" behind the "Pure White Eye" immediately, he had just completed his promotion and was very tired. To avoid any accidents, he was going to close his eyes first. Rest for a while and wait until you are fully recovered before taking action again.
Taking advantage of this time, he also sorted out the knowledge he gained during the advancement process, and gained a preliminary understanding and mastery of the abilities of the "Prophet":
First of all, because you have become a "prophet", you can initially glimpse the "River of Destiny", and naturally gain the core "prophecy" ability of this sequence.
This ability has roughly three applications:
First, combined with the original "breath extraction" ability and "scene retrospection" ability, the former is sublimated into "information extraction", truly realizing the famous saying "Everyone who walks through will leave traces", as long as they have not passed through the authority level With the interference of abilities, the "information" in a scene can be extracted out of thin air and "retrospect" its past "fate trajectory"!
Compared with the previous "breath extraction" and "scene retrieval", this is obviously much more advanced, and is similar to the method used by the "god" in a Chinese comic that Abner watched in his previous life to read dark data.
Secondly, it sublimates the "mechanical mind" ability and turns it into an "absolutely rational state", allowing Abner to observe the "River of Destiny" in this state and "retrieve" it based on some "keywords" Extract relevant information, and then use the improved "analysis" ability to analyze the direction of fate.
Most of the time, "destiny" will have multiple directions due to different choices. Generally speaking, an Extraordinary who has just become a "prophet" can only observe the most likely "tributary of destiny" at this time, and the success rate and accuracy will not be very high... Just like he is trying to obtain "destiny" It's the same as when using "Pure White Eyes" to experience "Active Prophecy" before "Wheel".
However, Abner's "prophecy" ability seems to have changed due to his deep penetration into the "world of absolute rationality" and the "river of destiny" when he advanced. The observable development of "destiny" is far more than that of ordinary "prophet" , and the results are clearer and more accurate.
However, it is worth mentioning that "prophet" is essentially a very dangerous profession, because after "predicting" the result, the "prophet" cannot easily tell the result, or carry out targeted actions, which will inevitably bring " Destiny" gives the change, so the "prophet" will pay the price.
Although fate has different directions, the fate of most people or things is determined.
Therefore, most "prophets" will only quietly guide others to other "tributaries of destiny" with better results, so that they will not be backlashed by "fate" and pay the price...or in other words, the price can be ignored Excluding.
And if you insist on changing a person's established destiny, you will inevitably encounter resistance from "fate". Even if you can successfully change your destiny, the "prophet" will pay a heavy price for it.
This price may be a loss of life, a decrease in wealth, damage to relatives, or attracting disasters... and many more, which is very similar to the "five disadvantages and three shortcomings" of the fortune tellers in previous lives.
Of course, this is not absolute. Some "prophet" can actually benefit from changing the fate of others...
Abner speculated that this may be because the underlying rules of the mysterious world are chaotic. The ancient "Key of Light" that symbolizes "destiny" even has the phrase "endless chaos" in its honorable name... So for "destiny" It is normal to have some problems with the application of domain capabilities.
Thirdly, it is a "passive prophecy" related to one's own destiny... This ability is only for oneself. When encountering a certain key person or object, or even a certain sentence or a certain voice, it will passively give prophecies and tell " What a prophet can do to avoid disaster or gain benefits.
Due to the lack of "information", such predictions are often not clear enough, but every "prophet" takes them very seriously! For example, Mr. Luca, the person in charge of the Church of Knowledge in West Balam, in the original book, he took the initiative to get acquainted with Klein because he "passively prophesied" that someone could bring a turnaround to a dangerous encounter for him.
Speaking of which, there is no need to worry about the backlash of fate for this kind of "prophecy" of one's own. It seems that the fate of Extraordinary people involved in the field of "destiny" is uncertain.
After studying the newly obtained "prophecy", Abner sensed other abilities and found that the "Heart of Energy" and the "Learning Space" had been integrated into the bookshelf in the incomplete room of the incomplete mythical creature after becoming a god. And countless black shadow-like eyes around the bookshelves.
In other words, the essence of this mythological form is a room displaying "knowledge" in the "White Tower".
"Learning Space" forms its prototype, "Energy Heart" provides the material foundation, and "Analysis" becomes the eyes in the shadows.
And because of the sublimation of the "Heart of Energy" ability, he can now use those "secret techniques" that required rituals or specific items to be activated in the past, and he can now use them as quickly as "extraordinary abilities".
Take the "Disintegration Technique" for example. When Abner used it before, he needed to use the long sword of "Admiral Hell" that could destroy everything as a medium.
But now, Abner can "create" the "characteristics" of the sword directly in his body and complete the secret technique.
Even the extraordinary items or spells that I have created in the past, because they are also included in the "learning space", are now integrated into a semi-mythical form and can be "created" in it.
Unfortunately, such a "creation" cannot last long in reality. Once it leaves the "incomplete white tower" in Abner's body, the power in it will be rapidly lost in a few seconds, and its "material" foundation will collapse instantly. .
In the case of "talismans", if they are played quickly, they can still exert their power, but extraordinary items are difficult to use, and there is a possibility of damaging themselves due to "collapse".
But since it has been included in the "White Tower", Abner can simulate the abilities himself, and there is no need to use such "created" spells and extraordinary items, so this application is actually a bit useless.
However, it reminded Abner of the redemption function of the "Dream Labyrinth Tower". The "Ninth Law Spell" he redeemed at that time was similar to the current ability application, and it could not exist in reality for too long...
"Lilith said that the composition of the 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' contains the extraordinary characteristics of the 'cherubi'... Haha, the entire tower was actually made by Russell relying on other people's mythological forms, right?
"The bookshelf in the reward room is actually the knowledge reserve of the dead 'cherubi'?
"Well, don't worry now. After I am promoted to the 'Insighter' of Sequence 3, I will take full control of the 'Dream Maze Tower'...
"Speaking of which, most of my 'Prophet's' potion was indeed digested just after taking it, at least only one-fifth. It might be completely digested within a month or two.
"Currently, it seems that the performance of the 'prophet' should have three directions: 'peeping fate', 'deflecting fate', and 'changing fate'.
“The most difficult thing among them is to ‘change your destiny’. After all, this requires paying a high price, and you may also encounter resistance and danger when changing your destiny...
"But I'm afraid I've already finished this part of the role... After all, my arrival has changed the fate of so many people... Not to mention those big guys, even Talim, Cherry, Dunn, Dai Li, Fu Leia, Buddy and Winter... these people all avoided death because of him, which definitely changed their fate.
"Not to mention, angels such as Zaratul and the Bound God, and more demigods who shouldn't have died, but died anyway.
"The strange thing is that I didn't pay a big price for this... Is it because I'm not from this world? Or is it because the 'Pure White Eyes' blocked it for me?
"And to spy on fate... Is there anything in this world that is better than reading the plot of a novel to spy on fate?
“In a sense, mystery novels themselves are the epitome of ‘River of Destiny’.
"What I lack now is the easiest way to deflect fate...that is, through guidance, let other people's fate enter other "tributaries" with better or worse results."
While thinking about it in his mind, Abner felt that his energy had almost recovered, so he took a deep breath and opened the "Pure White Eyes".
After becoming a demigod, Abner immediately felt the difference in the "pure white eyes".
First of all, because of his divinity, he can hardly feel the burden of this "gold finger". Even if it is turned on for several days in a row, it may not be a problem.
Secondly, unlike before, Abner, who had taken the mythical form, could clearly detect the existence of the "channel" behind his eyes.
That passage does not lead to reality, nor does it lead to the spiritual world or the star world... A voice from somewhere told him that it connected to an "unknown" world!
Abner had a hunch that as long as he transformed into his "mythic form", he could successfully pass through the "passage" and enter the world behind it.
But Lilith once warned him not to enter rashly unless he was an angel... So after thinking about it for a moment, Abner separated a small piece of shadow with "eyes" from the incomplete mythical form. This was his spirit. The avatar of reason is one of the "multi-threads". It is a mythical state that combines with divinity after the "analytical" ability is sublimated.
Abner named it "The Eye of Wisdom."
The shadow with the "eye" was quickly sent into the passage behind the "Pure White Eye" by Abner.
Immediately afterwards, an illusory giant sun inlaid with a pair of equally illusory brass eyes appeared in Abner's mind through the "eye of wisdom".
It's right at the entrance on the other side, completely blocking the "passage"!
"Pure White Eyes"... "Pure White Angels"... "Omniscient Eyes"...
It turns out that the name I picked casually actually has meaning? !
