Chapter 343: Prototype Model and Ten Sephirot

——Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.

——Kabbalah Tree of Life.

Strictly speaking, the two should be considered entirely different concepts.

The so-called Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil originates from the Eden Garden story in the Bible.

Its fruit allowed humans to first taste wisdom and free will, but also brought the burden of original sin; man ate the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, thus committed sin, and was driven out of Paradise by God.

And in this story, the existence of the "Tree of Life" is also mentioned.

The so-called Tree of Life is also located at the center of Eden Garden.

And Kabbalah uses this to describe the so-called path to God, or the way God created the world from nothing, symbolizing the entire universe with the Tree of Life growing in heaven.

It is generally believed that the Tree of Life signifies the vast universe, the human body as a microcosm, and the spiritual traversal of reaching the realm of God.

However, still that saying.

Symbolic meaning outweighs actual meaning.

Just from the two pathways of "man falling from the Perfect Man Realm" and "man needing to ascend in reverse to the Perfect Man Realm"...

Looking at it this way, they can still be connected.

Genesis 3:22-24——

God said: The man has become like us, knowing good and evil; now, lest he reach out his hand and take also from the Tree of Life and eat, and live forever.

So he drove him out; and he stationed Cherubim and a flaming sword turning every way at the east of Eden Garden, to guard the way to the Tree of Life.

——This is where the theoretical prototype lies.

If one is truly within Paradise, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and the Tree of Life indeed exist as entities, then they are indeed two different trees.

But if they merely symbolize the path of spiritual ascension, and do not refer to actual things...

Then this is just Two Sides of One, two processes, one positive and one negative...

………………

Xia Zhi is not too fond of Kabbalah thought.

But this does not hinder him from employing whatever comes to hand, directly taking this thing over for his own use.

Whether a black cat or a white cat, one that catches mice is a good cat... the same logic, no matter what ideological prototype it is, if it can be used by oneself, then it is a good civilization.

Anyway, he has already grown accustomed to such a hodgepodge.

From attempting to master the wisdom of, 000 Grimoires and stepping onto the road of Magic Cultivation, he found it hard to completely avoid such a miscellaneous art style.

After all, classics truly belonging to the immortal Dao cultivation are ultimately a very small minority.

Even with Index Librorum Prohibitorum like Index, she could not collect too much Daoist Canon knowledge, most of it still being Western magecraft as the main focus.

But unfortunately he cannot only study those immortal Dao classics.

Relying only on that small portion of Daoist Canon knowledge, it would be very difficult for him to become the God of Magic.

After all, only by completely mastering all the wisdom of, 000 Grimoires, correctly drawing forth that power, is there a possibility of becoming a Magic God—and merely a possibility at that.

Under such circumstances, naturally use whatever is useful.

——From the magecraft taught by Vivian, and the Age of Gods knowledge passed down by Medea...

——And the contemplation of "Magic", and the study of "Mystery" from things from beyond the heavens...

——Dao Arts, magecraft, Authority, Gray Gu, Artificial Intelligence, Divine Spark, Cross-timeline Information Transmission, Parallel World Observation...

He truly does not cling to form, truly achieving technique as the use of the Dao.

After all, they are merely means; as long as they can be used by me, then there is no problem at all.

The endless ocean of light surged, like the most mysterious blueprints in the universe.

They constantly sketched out the outline of the Life Tree Array Diagram, then instantly dissipated into invisibility, turning into endless radiance, filling this Void.

The young Daoist frowned, carefully and cautiously attempting several times, each time striking out trying to make the Life Tree Array Diagram exist stably.

However, every effort was like a stone sinking into the Sea, yielding no result.

Let alone carrying out reverse model modification on it.

——It is likewise a projection from a Higher Dimension.

——But in essence, it is merely a certain system pre-recorded on the Shi Jie Ceng Mian in the form of learning and religion.

After the Golden Core Cultivator retrieved all Intelligence information, he gradually formed a guess in his heart, feeling that perhaps Mio Takamiya's appearance, her existence and power, just happened to fit certain elements.

For example, filling the vacancies in the fields of religion and mythology called Demon, Angel, Elf, and such existences.

Probably also precisely because of this...

So one could also obtain stronger power and connection from "similar things possessing similar power" existing outside the world.

Everything is a Coincidence.

So this is the only possibility.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the bad woman has no intention of Shell Listing, but is more like giving up on herself, wanting thereby to destroy herself.

Even seeming not to realize she triggered some event chain.

As for others, needless to say, Elves or Wizards, back and forth they are just doing tricks revolving around those superficial powers.

Even if occasionally realizing that Elves and their guardian angels, and the Kabbalah Tree of Life, have some Corresponding Relationship, basically there has not been too deep an excavation.

Of course, in a sense this can also be considered a good thing...

At least this way, DEM Company is just constantly pondering how to seize the Elves' power, rather than hatching something big—

If really launching some all-humanity Orange Juice Plan, then that would indeed be big news.

The Golden Core Cultivator plucked the String of Time, ripples spread across the Void.

The Life Tree Array Diagram appeared again, took form...

Three Pillars, Four Worlds, Ten Sephirot, Twenty-Two Paths...

Some places are blurry, some places are clear, but most importantly, it's near the quality point corresponding to this treasure, the Book of Ages.

The Second Aeon and its guardian angel on the Kabbalah Book of Life have their corresponding quality point as "Wisdom (Chhokmah)"

The number is 2, the color is gray.

The symbolic gemstone is turquoise, the symbolic planet is Uranus.

Wisdom, pure rationality, the origin of creation, also representing the Heaven of Fixed Stars and the Primum Mobile.

And this treasure, the Book of Ages, was refined based on her spiritual power origin and the attributes of angelic power.

Even if reborn and completely unrecognizable from its original vessel, it won't change the essence and its correspondence to the quality point.

Relying on this treasure, one can summon the high-dimensional projection of the Life Tree Array Diagram.

It's just that whenever a Golden Core Cultivator wants to interfere and make some substantive changes, the tree array diagram will immediately disappear.

Like flowers in a mirror and the moon in water, a light touch, and the light and shadow will shatter along with it.

In the end, no matter how unwilling he was to believe it, after trying all his main methods, he had no choice but to give up for now, gazing at the endless radiance as he fell into thought.

It seems he still needs to forge the "controllers" corresponding to the ten quality points one by one before he can completely stabilize the model of the tree array diagram.

Of course—

Three Pillars, Four Worlds, Twenty-Two Paths...

These symbolic meanings are also fine, it's just that the spirits of the ten quality points are ready-made and can be used directly.

If he were to start from scratch, he would instead need to spend more effort, inevitably encountering twists and turns.

"Looks like I have to get serious..."

Xia Zhi opened the yellowed book in his hand, using this "super high-performance search engine" to search for intelligence on reality, the divine spark in his eyes gradually fading.

"Whether he can achieve Multi-Cosmic Divine Power depends on this one time..."

He didn't doubt in the least that once this "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil model" is completed, it will bring great benefits to his own cultivation.

But compared to the Immortal Dao...

It will undoubtedly bring a greater boost to the Divine Path, perhaps even touching the Root of divinity.

Even if it's just a little bit, the tip of the iceberg.

If a Divine Spirit Avatar can cross that key threshold through this, becoming Multi-Cosmic Divine Power, and spread its influence toward the Multiverse outside that world...

By then, he would finally have a firm foothold.

Having different aspects in multiple Crystal Sphere Systems, possessing different divine appearances and Divine Power levels, managing his own Belief, having his own Clerics and Temples...

Being hostile to some Divine Spirits, allying with some Divine Spirits, perhaps even being a member of some pantheons...

Occasionally thwarting others' plots, occasionally cooking up some plots himself, or investing in some interesting adventurers, watching them play tabletop RPGs in real life...

As long as he can achieve this and manage it properly over time, it's basically unlikely he'll fall.

Once he reaches that level, the world over there can also be seen as a retreat; if he really can't make it in the Main World, he can consider packing up and running away.

Of course, it's just a thought...

After all, Multi-Cosmic Divine Power has only just gained a foothold, and Xia Zhi also suspects that in that high-magic world, there may exist an Unknown Force capable of reshaping the entire Multiverse.

That's far more terrifying than any Greater Divine Power.

After all, every world has its own troubles; it just depends on whether the risk level is acceptable.

Pacific Ocean.

Neryl Island.

DEM Company built sturdy underground facilities on the island and did not record it on maps of the Pacific Ocean.

And with the fall of the headquarters, the once-mighty Sin Enterprise quickly became a street rat everyone shouted at, and various reckonings followed.

Naturally, the personnel on this branch base on a remote Pacific island were also disheartened.

The remaining personnel, whether combat troops or Researchers, had no loyalty to the Company and naturally prepared to run away.

There was a very secret and important project on the island...

They didn't intend to just give it up, but were planning whether they could sell this project to exchange for some chips.

Surely many people would be interested.

It's just a pity that while the idea was beautiful, reality didn't give them such an opportunity.

Before a group of DEM Company remnants could consider which country to sell to and how to quote a price, a new round of aggression struck the island.

A girl as gorgeous as a princess waved her Giant Sword, stepping lightly, and set foot on the island's branch base.

Just a light swing...

The streetlights, roads, and buildings in the distance were all severed in one strike.

Under the heavy sword pressure, those hastily responding tactical personnel had their Random Domains shatter at a touch, crying out miserably as they toppled.

"Is it here? You'd better not lie to me..."

The girl pouted, narrowed her eyes, and casually scanned the island before her, asking aloud.

"It should be here; I've been searching for this spirit's trail all along but couldn't find it, never expecting her to have been captured by DEM Company..."

Kurumi Tokisaki nodded firmly—

"She is the second spirit predicted to manifest after the First Spirit thirty years ago, and also knows of the existence of the Origin Spirit..."

"As long as we find her, she will prove that everything I told you before is absolutely not a single lie!"
