Chapter 1389: Omniscient Mind, Endless Private Work

With the official support of Cormanthor, Faluo's Omniscience Ritual this time was incredibly efficient, both in terms of material preparation and personnel assembly.

Only a month had passed since the last Omniscience Ritual; if this level of efficiency continued, would there be any worry about failing to find the truth revealed by the Oracle?

But no matter how Faluo felt or what he hoped for, this time would be the only time; never mind whether Yilisier Mianwang would be willing after this, even if he were, Faluo himself would not be.

Yilisier's influence within the organization was already quite considerable now; if he allowed him to interfere further, Faluo was truly worried the organization would spiral completely out of control, and he had to suppress this budding trend.

After sending Jielinisi away, Faluo had private chats with Xierdalanna and Aomosi for a while; besides the intention to win them over, these two were also key participants in this Omniscience Ritual.

Ever since Xierdalanna and Aomosi both obtained new revelatory information in the last Omniscience Ritual, Faluo had been finding ways to arrange for them to contact the two suspected Fate Messengers in the new revelations—Iolum and Xia Duo.

Now that Xierdalanna and Aomosi were participating in the Omniscience Ritual again, they were bound to obtain further information, perhaps enough to completely uncover the truth shown by the Oracle!

……

After everything was ready, on the grass near the Elf Court, under the watchful eyes of the few Elders and the Envoy of the Crown King present since the establishment of the Northland Alliance, the seventh Omniscience Ritual of the Faro Organization began.

As the spellcasting proceeded, winds and clouds surged around the Elf Court, and the sky even seemed to darken, while various mysterious phenomena difficult to comprehend constantly emerged around the Magic Array.

The watching Elves retreated slightly away from the Magic Array, but not a single one left; since they had chosen to watch, they certainly had some psychological preparation.

Before long, a light rain began to fall from the sky; Faluo and the others had no Protection, letting the raindrops hit their faces, but the rhythm of their incantations remained completely steady, even faintly resonating with the surrounding wind and rain.

It was not until over half an hour had passed that the wind stopped and the rain ceased; a rainbow appeared on the tips of the oak trees not far away, while Faluo's side had reached the most critical moment.

Everything before could be understood as the process of Spellcasting, but there was still the result afterward, which he and the other twelve participants had to bear together.

Omniscience is not necessarily a good thing; without the capacity to bear it, one's brain might be blown apart by the massive amount of information in an instant.

Faluo's method was to use Spells to link the minds of thirteen high-level Mages together, constructing a simple mental model to incorporate, organize, and draw conclusions from all the information.

Furthermore, the mental model could not be complex; if it were too complex, the processing speed would slow down, and once it slowed down, accidents would happen.

Finally, except for Faluo, the incantations of the other Spellcasters stopped; when Faluo finished the final concluding incantation, the Magic Array erupted with a burst of intense light.

This included both Magic Aura invisible to the naked eye and blinding visible light, causing the surrounding crowd of Elf Mages to squint, some even closing their eyes entirely to sense the changes in the Magic Net at the Magic Array.

At this moment, the Magic Net in the area where the ritual took place erupted with incredibly intense oscillations, but it seemed to reach a point where things turn into their opposites, and the next moment it became completely quiet.

In the eyes of the watching high-level Mages, the impact produced by this ritual was incredibly profound; if it were not in an area like the Elf Court that had been specially modified, it might even have caused permanent changes to the Magic Net environment.

It is unknown how much time passed before the thirteen high-level Mages who performed the spell finally emerged from their dazed state; one high-level Mage who was participating in the Omniscience Ritual for the first time even vomited with a "wah" sound.

Faluo had organized the Omniscience Ritual seven times and had long since prepared for this; he gave a look to a young Elf watching nearby, and immediately an attendant came over to help the several high-level Mages in poor condition to a nearby resting spot to take a break.

Generally speaking, high-level Mages would certainly not be so pathetic, but the Omniscience Ritual, this powerful Spell obtained from the Main God, was even more extraordinary!

It was, to a certain extent, fully worthy of the name "Omniscience"; after the Spellcasting was completed, countless pieces of information would flood into the mental model constructed by Faluo and the thirteen Spellcasters, and most of this information was incomprehensible.

In that instant, the thirteen high-level Mages were almost equivalent to the extension of an omniscient mind!

But because this omniscient mental model was constructed from the partial minds of the thirteen high-level Mages, their primary minds could extract refined and organized information from it.

What Faluo wanted to know most was naturally the "possible changes at the former site of the Alabaster Tower" mentioned in the Main God's Oracle; there was no doubt about this.

But Faluo could not completely control the occasional thoughts arising from his Subconscious; for example, if he wanted to know specific information about a certain Spell, the omniscient mental model would transmit that information to him as well.

Even feeling a breeze brush against his skin, the omniscient mind would analyze the breeze, tracing it all the way back to its source.

Faluo, a Spellcaster who had experienced the Omniscience Ritual many times, had such experiences, let alone those first-time participants; it was already very difficult for them to still be standing after the ritual.

In fact, it was precisely because of the existence of these chaotic thoughts that the thirteen Spellcasters received too much meaningless information.

Of course, there was certainly meaningful information as well, and this was precisely the irresistible participation benefit for the ritual participants—they could use the omniscient state for their own private gain, finding secrets they wanted to know.

For this, even if they had to pay the price of a decrease in Magic Web Compatibility, they would not hesitate.

Like this time, Yilisier Mianwang sponsored all the expenses of the ritual and recommended four Gold Elf high-level Mages who had never participated in the ritual; what he sought was certainly not just to find the possible mastermind behind the Wuweilun survivor Hande Yisita.

This was just an excuse told to Faluo on the surface; privately, who knew what investigation missions those four high-level Mages had accepted!

Faluo did not care about this either; with so many participants, all of whom were high-level Mages like him, how could he force them not to do any private work.

As long as it did not affect the search for the truth shown by the Main God's Oracle, it did not matter; didn't he himself do private work intentionally or unintentionally!

……

Resting spot.

Since the future changes revealed by the Main God's Oracle involved the entire Elf World, it could be considered "official business" in the absolute sense, so Faluo did not privately ask about the gains of the ritual participants.

Of course, this was also to prevent some Elves from going back to "collude" and making "fine-tuning" to the ritual results to suit their own needs.

Asking directly in front of everyone made it appear more fair, open, and without selfishness—at least in the matter of revealing the Oracle, there was no selfishness.

"Mage Miyilian, this is your first time participating in the Omniscience Ritual; did you gain anything?"
