v2 Chapter 1: New abilities and pure white eyes

After being excited for a while, Abner recalled the experience just after taking the potion, but he couldn't help frowning.

Because the state of being immersed in the "absolutely rational world" and wandering in the different tributaries of the "River of Destiny" is too dangerous!

Of course, this does not mean that Abner encountered great danger when he was promoted... On the contrary, his promotion was relatively smooth.

However, he is different from the general "secret master". As early as Sequence 9, he was used to the state of mental "multi-threading" because of the ability provided by "Pure White Eye", not to mention the fact that he held the promotion for Sequence 4. The scale of the "ceremony" is definitely the only one, and the effect of "anchoring" the 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"... It was an accident, I am afraid that it will stay in it forever and become a part of that world!

He is like this. How lucky did other "secret masters" have to be to succeed when they advanced?

"Or, is it that I am special? That's why I went deep into the 'River of Destiny'... When other people advance, they just watch from afar?"

"Is this the influence of the 'Wheel of Fortune' that ran after the 'Pure White Eye'?

"Well, I remember Lilith once said that when I reach the demigod, I will be qualified to initially understand the secret of the 'Pure White Eye'... But it's best not to go in in person..."

Thoughtfully Abner wanted to explore the "space" behind the "Pure White Eye" immediately, but he had just finished his promotion and was very tired. To avoid any accident, he was going to close his eyes first. Take a break and wait until fully recovered before moving on.

Taking advantage of this time, he also sorted out the knowledge acquired during the advanced stage, and also had a preliminary understanding and mastery of the ability of the "prophet":

First of all, because you have become a "prophet", you can get a preliminary glimpse of the "River of Destiny", and naturally acquire the core "prophecy" ability of this sequence.

This ability has roughly three applications:

First, combined with the original "breath extraction" ability and "scene retrospective" ability, the former is sublimated into "information extraction", which truly realizes the famous saying "everyone who walks through will leave traces", as long as they do not go through the authority level With the interference of ability, the "information" in a scene can be extracted out of thin air and "retrospect" its past "fate track"!

Compared with the previous "breath extraction" and "scene retrospective", this is obviously much more high-end, and it is similar to the method of reading dark data by "God" in a national comic that Abner had seen in his previous life.

The second is to sublimate the ability of the "mechanical mind", making it an "absolutely rational state", and allowing Abner to observe the "River of Destiny" in this state. According to some "keywords", "search" Relevant information is obtained, and then the "analytical" ability that has been improved again is used to analyze the direction of fate.

And "destiny" most of the time will have a variety of directions due to different choices. Generally speaking, an Extraordinary who has just become a "prophet" can only observe the most likely "fate tributary" at this time, and the success rate and accuracy will not be very high... just like he is getting "fate" It is the same as when using the "Pure White Eye" to experience "Active Prophecy" before the "Wheel".

However, Abner's "prophecy" ability seems to have mutated because he went deep into the "absolutely rational world" and the "river of destiny" when he advanced, and 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 a "prophet" is essentially a very dangerous profession, because after "predicting" the result, a "prophet" cannot easily say the result or carry out targeted actions - this will inevitably bring Come to the change given by "Fate", so "The Prophet" will pay the price.

Although fate has different directions, the fate of most people or things is predetermined.

Therefore, most of the "prophecies" will only quietly guide others and let them step into other "fate tributaries" with better results, so that they will not be attacked by "fate" and pay the price... Or, the cost can be ignored. Excluding.

And if you insist on changing a person's predetermined destiny, you will inevitably encounter the resistance of "destiny". Even if you can successfully change your life, the "prophet" will pay a great price for it.

The price may be a loss of lifespan, a decrease in wealth, a loss of kinship, or an attraction to disasters… and so on. It is very much the meaning of the “five evils and three deficiencies” of the past life physicists.

Of course, this is not absolute. Some "prophetists" can gain benefits after changing the fate of others...

Abner speculates that this may be because the underlying rules of the mysterious world are chaotic, and the honorific name of the old "Key of Light", which symbolizes "destiny", has the description of "endless chaos"... 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 item, or even a certain sentence or a certain voice, it will passively give a prophecy and tell " What the prophets can do to avoid disaster, or to gain advantage.

Because of the lack of "information", such prophecies are often not clear enough, but every "prophet" attaches great importance to it! For example, Mr. Luca, the person in charge of the Church of Knowledge in West Balam, in the original book he met Klein on his own initiative because of the "passive prophecy" that someone could bring a turn for his dangerous encounter.

Speaking of which, for this kind of "prophecy" of oneself, there is no need to worry about the problem of fate's backlash. It seems that the Beyonders involved in the field of "destiny" are inherently uncertain.

After studying the newly obtained "Prophecy", Abner sensed other abilities and found that the "Heart of Energy" had been merged with the "Learning Space" into the incomplete mythological creature form after becoming a god-the one of the incomplete room. bookshelf. And the countless black shadowy eyes around the bookshelf.

In other words, the essence of this mythological form is a room displaying "knowledge" in the "White Tower".

"Learning Space" constitutes its prototype, "Energy Heart" provides the material basis, and "Analysis" becomes the eyes in those shadows.

And because of the sublimation of the "Heart of Energy" ability, when he uses the "secret arts" that used to require rituals or specific items to activate, he can already do it as instantaneously as "extraordinary abilities".

For example, "Splitting", when Abner used it before, he needed to use the long sword of "Admiral Hell" as a medium that could destroy everything.

But now, Abner can directly "create" the "character" of the sword in his body to complete the secret technique.

Even the extraordinary items or spells that he has created in the past, because they are also included in the "learning space", are now integrated into the semi-mythical form, and can be "created" in it.

It is a pity that such a "creation" cannot persist in reality. Once it leaves Abner's body, the "incomplete white tower" will quickly lose its power within a few seconds, and its "material" foundation will collapse instantly. .

"Charms" can still exert their power if they are cast quickly, but extraordinary items are difficult to use, and there is a possibility of damage to themselves due to "collapse".

But since it has been included in the "White Tower", the ability Abner can simulate by himself, and there is no need to use such "created" spells and extraordinary items, so this application is actually a bit tasteless.

However, it reminded Abner of the exchange function of the "Dreamland Labyrinth Tower". The "Ninth Law Charm" he exchanged at that time was similar to the current ability application, and it could not exist for too long in reality...

"Lilith said that in the composition of the 'Dreamland Labyrinth Tower', there is the Extraordinary characteristics of the 'Angel of Wisdom'... Hehe, the whole tower is actually made by Roselle relying on other people's mythological forms, right?

"The bookshelf between the rewards is actually the knowledge reserve of the dead 'Angel of Wisdom'?

"Well, don't worry, after I am promoted to the 'Insighter' of Sequence 3, I will go and completely control the 'Dreamland Labyrinth Tower'...

"Speaking of which, my Prophet's potion did digest most of it as soon as I took it, at least one-fifth of it, and it might be completely digested within a month or two.

"At present, the role of 'prophet' should have three directions: 'peeping fate', 'deflecting fate', and 'changing fate'.

"The most difficult of them is 'changing fate', after all, this requires a lot of money, and there may be resistance and danger in changing fate...

"But I'm afraid I've already finished the part of the acting... After all, I don't know how many people's lives have been changed by my arrival... Not to mention those bigwigs, even Talim, Cherry, Dunn, Daly, Fernandez. Leia, and Buddy and Winter...these people avoided death because of him, definitely changed their fate.

"Not to mention, Zarathul and the Bound God and other angels, as well as more demigods who should not have died, but have died.

"The strange thing is that I didn't pay too much for this... Is it because I'm not from this world? Or is it because the 'Pure White Eye' helped me block it?

"And to spy on fate... Is there anything in this world that is more spy on fate than reading the plot of a novel?

"In a sense, the mystery novel itself is the epitome of the 'River of Destiny'.

"What I'm missing now is the easiest way to deflect fate...that is, by guiding others' fate into other "tributaries" with better or worse outcomes."

While thinking about it in his heart, Abner felt that his spirit had almost recovered, so he took a deep breath and opened the "Pure White Eye".

After becoming a demigod, Abner immediately felt the difference in the "Pure White Eye".

First of all, because of his divinity, he can hardly feel the burden of this "gold finger", even if it is turned on for a few days, it may not be a problem.

Secondly, unlike in the past, Abner, who has a mythological form, is clearly aware of the existence of the "channel" behind the eyes.

That channel does not lead to reality, nor is it the spiritual world and the astral world... A voice from somewhere told him that ~lightnovelpub.net~ it is connected to an "unknown" world!

Abner had a hunch that as long as he turned into a "mythical form", he would be able to smoothly pass through the "passage" and enter the world behind it.

But Lilith had warned him not to enter the angel without rushing in... So after a while, Abner separated a small shadow with "eyes" from the incomplete mythological form - this is his The avatar of the spirit and rationality is a branch of "multi-threading", and it is a mythical state combined with divinity after the sublimation of "analytical" ability.

Abner named it "The Eye of Wisdom".

The shadow with the "eye" was quickly sent into the passage behind the "white eye" by Abner.

Immediately afterwards, an illusory giant sun inlaid with a pair of illusory brass eyes appeared in Abner's mind through the "wisdom eye".

It's right at the entrance on the other side, completely obscuring the "passage"!

"Pure White Eye"..."Pure White Angel"..."All-Seeing Eye"...

It turns out that the name I picked up at random actually has meaning? !
