Although there were still many details and information about the so-called Last Kingdom, the so-called Church of Redemption, and their various systems and situations that she didn't know and was very curious about, she did not choose to ask further.
Because this information must have been basically included in the information Hill gave her. She could find out by just looking it up when she had time. There was no need to ask. Digging into these details would be inconsistent with her Outer God setting.
She stopped there and changed the subject:
"That is to say, if you cannot become a transcendent, then you may never be able to obtain spiritual items, and thus you will never be able to repay the debt of the talisman?"
These questioning words made Hilton nervous. She tensed up and hurriedly explained:
"No, that's not the case, Lord True Creator. I'm sure I can find other ways, such as... uh..."
But the more she tried to argue, the more desperate she became to discover that...what the "True Creator" said was true.
With her talent for cultivation, she would never be able to become a "Silent Soul Wizard", and even the most basic "disciple" would have no hope...
According to common sense, she could only be a scientific researcher engaged in geological surveys in her life, following the team to explore secrets, survey landforms, and draw maps in the endless and eternally silent "gray wilderness".
Until one day, one becomes too old to work and loses the ability to work, and enters the "training ground" to become a teaching staff, making use of the last bit of energy in the rest of his life.
Of course, it is more likely that he had died in an overseas mission before that, and his body was buried in this distorted land that buried countless dreams, hopes and lives.
——The final country does not support idle people!
This is their cruelest, coldest...but most practical rule of survival.
Hill thought sadly in his heart, his body bent down little by little, his posture became more hunched and lonely, sadness and heavy emotions occupied his heart.
…Or, should she try to make a request to the True Creator and see if He would accept her telling other people in the Last Kingdom about His existence?
If this great being did not resist such behavior, then things would be much easier, right?
Whether it is the high priests, archbishops, or the Punishers of the Holy See, they are far more capable and qualified than himself... to communicate and trade with a mysterious foreign god who represents the only hope of the Last Kingdom.
An ordinary person like me cannot bear the heavy responsibility of being a savior...
"...In other words, as long as you become a transcendent, you won't have these problems, right?"
At this moment, the childish voice of the "True Creator" came into my mind.
"what?"
Hill was stunned, and raised his head dully:
"You, you mean...?"
Qi Ji, who was far away in the safe, orderly, and bright human world, laughed and used his strength to lift up the thick documents. He retracted the hand that was originally used to lift it, and supported his cheek with the back of his hand. His eyes were as lively as water and moved:
"I've said before, I uphold the principle of 'fairness'."
She paused for a moment, freeing up a small part of her senses to quickly scan the information floating around her. In just a moment, she recorded and memorized all the information, and said in an unfathomable and leisurely manner:
"I believe that the value of the materials you sacrificed to me exceeds the meditation method I gave you. Therefore, in accordance with the fair principle of equal exchange, I will 'refund' you the corresponding 'difference'."
“The price difference…”
Hill looked confused as he chewed on this seemingly inappropriate word, and suddenly his eyes lit up:
"You mean, you can give me more...knowledge?"
"correct."
Qi Ji snapped his fingers, and without waiting for the other party to react, he continued:
"Based on my assessment of the 'price difference', I have selected three options that I believe are of equal value. You have the right to choose."
After transmitting this sentence, she skillfully "packaged" some of the knowledge that had been prepared in her mind and sent it to Hill through the channel of sensory sharing:
"I'll give you a hundred heartbeats to think about it."
Hill, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly felt dazed. A message that appeared out of nowhere unfolded in her mind like a dream:
"First, warriors. Steel is tempered into a soft silk, and the ladder to heaven is built against all will... Realm division: tempering skills, right mind, spiritual communication, underworld god... Note: incomplete...
"Second, the Mage. Seeing things with wisdom, staring at the light... The realms are divided into: Apprentice, True Mage, Mage, Lightsmith, Miracle Master...
"Three, the clergy. Worship with their hearts and sacrifice with their bodies... The realms are divided into: general believers, people who pray for mercy, preachers, saints, messengers of God (angels/apostles)..."
"This is... a completely new cultivation system?!"
After understanding this message that came out of nowhere, Hill's heart was shocked and his mouth opened uncontrollably.
What is this concept? !
The only extraordinary cultivation system in the Last Kingdom, the "Silent Soul Wizard", was created by the Church of Redemption and countless scholars over dozens or hundreds of years, through bloody sacrifices and dedication, and through the struggles of generations...
This is a path that has been developed through endless hardships and sufferings and has been proven to be effective, safe and stable enough!
If it weren't for the "Silent Soul Wizard" system that gave weak and tiny humans powerful strength beyond their physiological limits, allowing them to barely have the qualifications to fight against the brutal, bloodthirsty, fierce and tyrannical evil spirits, then this so-called "Last Kingdom"...
It has long been lost in this ruthless wilderness, becoming a relic that is gradually weathered!
And now, the "True Creator"...actually took out three sets at once? !
Even if He only promised that he could choose one of them, the information that "there are other stable and extraordinary ways" alone is important enough for everyone in the Last Kingdom to give their lives for it!
"And, and..."
As he browsed the information in his mind, Hill felt his breathing tremble.
Although the specific information of each system is not clear at present, judging from the known information, these three new paths have four to five great realms...
The "Silent Soul Wizard" developed and researched by the Last Kingdom only has three levels: "Disciple", "Quiet Master" and "Pure White Pope"!
Does this mean... that these three new paths, whether in terms of the upper limit of their levels or the completeness of their systems... are all higher than the "Silent Soul Wizard"? !
This is... what a huge gift, what a precious treasure!
And now, they are just quietly placed in front of me, allowing me to choose? !
"grown ups……"
Hill was so excited that he almost lost his ability to speak. He barely used his remaining rational thinking and asked tremblingly:
"I, my extraordinary aptitude is very poor. These paths... I, I may not be able to practice..."
"You don't have to worry about that."
The ethereal and tender voice was like the sound of nature, and it seemed like the comfort of a savior, floating in the air:
"The standards for 'qualification' in these systems are different from yours. Your qualifications as a 'Silent Soul Wizard' have almost nothing to do with these three paths. In a way, they are more suitable for you.
"…By the way, you have fifty heartbeats left."
"Oh! You can't just sit there in a daze. You have to think about this seriously! You have to think carefully before making a choice!"
Hearing the last reminder, Hill was immediately shocked and quickly threw all his random thoughts behind him. His mind started to work faster than ever before:
"The first one is the warrior. Judging from the name and description, it is mainly specialized in physical strengthening... From a survival perspective, this is good, but I don't know if this 'power' is just physical strength.
"If you just have great strength, it is impossible to fundamentally harm the filthy ghosts. The essence of their existence is the 'rust plague'. Simply destroying the filthy ghosts' bodies is completely useless. Only by purifying the 'rust plague' can we completely eliminate them...
"Moreover, according to the annotations at the end, this cultivation system seems to be incomplete. If you follow it step by step, you can only reach the fourth realm, while the other two paths have five levels... Its theoretical upper limit seems to be insufficient in comparison.
"For now, rule it out."
She then turned her attention to the two remaining paths:
"The priests... from the description, it seems that they gain power by worshipping a great being... It's a bit similar to our 'Silent Soul Wizards'. It is said that the source of power of the Silent Soul Wizards is also a gift from the 'Pure White Gate'.
"So, which god is served by this path? Could it be the 'True Creator' himself? If so, then I must choose this one... But the problem is that I can't be sure... Oh, I'm so confused..."
"time up."
In a trance, the illusory and ethereal voice of the "True Creator" interrupted her thoughts.
"Huh?! So fast!"
Hill took a deep breath in disbelief, and then heard the voice say in an irreconcilable tone:
"Make your choice."
"I……"
She swallowed and pursed her lips. Her heart was beating wildly in her throat and her whole body was so hot from excessive excitement that it seemed as if it was burning.
She knew she couldn't wait any longer, she had to make a decision among these three paths now, immediately, and immediately!
Chapter 307 Explanation
"Time's up, make your choice."
After transmitting this declaration-like words, Qi Ji only waited half a second before receiving the other party's reply.
"…Mage?"
Hearing the result, she nodded slightly and shrugged without any change in expression.
Afterwards, she packed up the detailed information she had summarized about the mage training system and sent it all over.
"See you in about 80,000 heartbeats."
After saying this, without waiting for the other party to respond, Qi Ji closed the Reed Mormon Mirror and severed the sensory connection with Hill.
"In the end, they chose the best solution...it's convenient for me too."
She shook her wrist slightly, causing the restored Reed Mormon Mirror to disappear from her palm, and she slowly exhaled.
Warrior, Mage, and Clergyman; these are the three most popular and common paths of extraordinary cultivation in the human world.
Among the three, the path of the warrior has the shortest history. According to academic literature in the spiritual field, it did not appear in the human world until the end of the Fifth Age and the beginning of the Sixth Age.
All in all, its history is no more than three hundred years, and it is a rather immature new force.
In contrast, priests and mages have existed since the ancient mythical era. Especially priests, their origins can even be traced back to a period older than the Moon Spirit Republic, a history that has now been completely forgotten and lost.
Therefore, compared with other paths, the path of warrior is obviously inferior in terms of the perfection of the system and the level and number of high-level powerful people.
So far, the highest realm of a "warrior" in theory is the fourth realm, "God of the Underworld", and it is only a theory. There has not yet been a warrior who has broken through to this level... at least that is the common sense among the public.
As for the fifth realm, there is not even a theory.
Over the years, many scholars in the supernatural field believe that perhaps "God of the Underworld" is the limit of this path, and warriors at the same level as "God's Messenger" and "Miracle Worker" who have obtained divinity and been promoted to demigod may not exist at all.
Therefore, if Hill chose to be a warrior, Qi Ji could only teach her the "tutorial" up to the level of Hades.
If Hill chose the priest, then Qi Ji would face the most complicated and time-consuming plan.
The power of a clergyman is essentially a "reward" from the main god he believes in.
In other words, if the Lord God cannot project his power to a certain area, then that area will become a restricted area for all clergy below the rank of "God's Messenger"!
As long as the clergy have not reached the level of "God's Messenger" and thus obtained their own divinity, as soon as they step into that area, they will undoubtedly lose all their powers in an instant, fall from being a transcendent being to the mortal world, and become a completely ordinary person!
In the desolate, silent and isolated gray forest, the only spiritual existence seems to be the "Pure White Gate" believed in by the "Redemption Church", the last country.
The rest of the gods, whether it was the evil god "First Creator" in a strange state, or the other nine righteous gods, seemed unable to use their own power to penetrate the thick and heavy lead-black cloud that stretched for thousands of miles.
Qi Ji even has reason to suspect that, except for the "First Creator", the rest of the external gods may not know the existence of that land!
In short, if Hill chose the path of "priest", then it would be meaningless for Qi Ji to transmit the method of cultivation to her. Even if she practiced for a lifetime, she would not be able to gain any extraordinary power.
But this was not a problem for Qi Ji. Although she could not yet let her power descend directly there, she could indirectly affect things there through the Redmormon Mirror and some operations.
The solution she thought of was to let Hill "believe" in the out-of-control angel in the sealed space, regard this former demigod of the "Moon" realm as his own main god, and pray to him for strength.
——As a demigod, the messenger of God already possesses his own divinity and is essentially no different from the real gods. Therefore, he can naturally enjoy incense and offerings, and develop his own believers and clergy.
What Qi Ji has to do is to isolate and eliminate all kinds of pollution released by the out-of-control angels for her, so that Hill won't be shocked by the divine pollution at the level of the messenger of God and mutate out of control on the spot as soon as he gains power.
In this way, Hill has the hope of becoming a priest in the "Moon" realm.
Of course, this method also has its flaws. That is, as a demigod, the out-of-control angel can only grant the clergy below it the power of a "saint" at most, and it is impossible to delegate its own limited divinity further.
That's not "developing downline", but abdication! A monster that has lost all its sanity can't do such a complicated operation.
In other words, if Hill chose the path of a clergyman, then in theory he could at most be promoted to a saint.
But this is not a big problem - even if Hill is gifted and a rare cultivation genius, it will take at least three to five years for her to go from an ordinary person to a saint.
By then, Qi Ji would probably have already found the location of the gray forest and figured out a way to enter it himself.
"But she chose the mage... so I don't have to do anything. I just need to send her the 'tutorial'. I can have some free time."
Qi Ji chuckled a few times, stood up from the rocking chair, raised his arms, stretched them, stretched his body comfortably, and looked around boredly.
Bernice, who was originally beside her, knew that Qi Ji had something to do after seeing her talking to herself silently and ignoring her, so she walked away tactfully and sat on a rattan chair not far away, chewing on a life energy ball and reading a newspaper to pass the time.
