Chapter 497: Omniscient Thinking Model, Light

~8 min read 1,491 words

At this moment, the Magic Net in the area where the ritual was held erupted with an incomparably intense oscillation, but it seemed to reach a point where things turn into their opposites, and the next moment it went completely quiet.

In the eyes of the crowd of observing Elf Mages, the impact produced by this ritual was incomparably profound; if it had not been in an area specially modified like the Elf Court, 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 trance-like state. Just as the surrounding observing Mages were about to step forward to ask about the results of the ritual, one of the Spellcasters standing on the Spellcasting Node suddenly stumbled and vomited with a "Wah" sound.

It was Weilanse, the youngest of the thirteen high-level Mages. Realizing she had lost her composure, she immediately cleaned up the mess, took out an anthropomorphic puppet that looked exactly like her, picked up her true body, apologized to the approaching Mages, and then left directly.

The condition of the other Spellcasters was also very poor—pale faces, dilated pupils, trembling—but they did not lose their composure like Weilanse; they still managed to control themselves well.

Looking at the onlookers coming over who seemed to have many questions to ask, Faluo suddenly felt a trace of impatience. His head was a complete mess right now, with countless pieces of information swirling inside; if it hadn't been for that retching sound from Weilanse, which gave him a jolt, he would have even forgotten his purpose for being here.

The 【Omniscient Rite】 was indeed worthy of the name "omniscient" to a certain extent. After the spellcasting was completed, countless pieces of information poured into the thinking model constructed by the thirteen Spellcasters, and most of this information was incomprehensible.

In that instant, the thirteen high-level Mages were equivalent to the extension of an omniscient being's mind, but this omniscient thinking model was constructed from parts of the minds of the thirteen high-level Mages, and their primary minds could extract refined and organized information from it.

What Faluo naturally wanted to know was the "possible changes at the former site of the Alabaster Tower" mentioned in the Oracle of the main god. Of course, the primary mind, which was Faluo himself, could not completely control his Subconscious, and a thought would occasionally surface.

For example, if he wanted to know specific information about a certain Spell, the omniscient thinking model would also transmit information to him; even if he felt a breeze brush against his skin, the omniscient thinking would also analyze the breeze, tracing it all the way back to the source.

In fact, it was precisely because of the existence of chaotic thoughts that these thirteen Spellcasters received too much meaningless information. Of course, there was certainly meaningful information as well, and this was also a hidden benefit of participating in the 【Omniscient Rite】.

Faluo's goal had been achieved. Facing the Mages gathering around, he endured the physical and psychological discomfort to greet them with a few words, and then left quickly under the inquisitive gazes of the onlookers.

……

It was three days later when the organization members gathered again, still in a hall within the Tower of Governance. Besides the original sixteen members, this time there were three additional high-level Mages from outside the organization; two of them had participated directly in the ritual, and one was on the substitute list.

This meeting of organization members, besides discussing the results of the ritual, was mainly to accept these three high-level Mages into the organization.

Watching the organization grow stronger day by day, Faluo could not help but feel a sense of self-satisfaction, but as soon as he thought about the information regarding the Oracle's Indication obtained from the omniscient thinking model, he frowned again.

"First, let us welcome our three companions, Jielinisi, Haidelei, and Kennisi, to join us!"

This time, there was no need for Faluo to introduce them one by one to the members; they had already gotten to know each other during the previous activities participating in the 【Omniscient Rite】, as these three new members were already well-acquainted with one or several of the organization's members.

"Everyone, since you all already know each other, let's talk about the results of the ritual. What did all the Mages who participated in the ritual see?"

Of course they had seen many things, but the other twelve Spellcasters who participated in the ritual were also clear about the task Faluo had assigned, which was regarding the content indicated by the Oracle, and they themselves were also quite interested.

Setting aside other gains, the twelve participants had all learned about this at the first opportunity. The information displayed by the omniscient thinking model to the participants would vary according to their respective cognitions, experiences, and even psychological emotions.

This allowed for a comprehensive analysis of the results from multiple angles.

However, after Faluo asked, the thirteen participants revealed expressions of confusion. Faluo's heart sank; he certainly knew what he had "seen" in the ritual, and now that the other participants were showing such expressions, could it be that they had seen the same thing as him?

And the other participants, seeing the confused expressions of their companions, were also lost in thought.

"Lord Faluo, regarding the 'possible changes at the former site of the Alabaster Tower' indicated by the main god in the Oracle, I only saw a piece of dazzling light in the ritual, with wisps of shadow occasionally wandering within it. I do not understand if this is the change the main god was referring to?"

After one high-level Mage finished speaking, another high-level Mage immediately spoke up, "Lord Faluo, I also saw the same scene."

"Lord Faluo, me too."

……

Soon, all the participants stated their results. Faluo did not suspect they were lying, because there was no need for that, and he himself had also seen a piece of light.

That light was so dazzling that he almost thought he was looking directly at the sun. Thinking of the sun, Faluo immediately thought of that god of the Netherese.

Known as the incarnation of the sun, the Lord of Radiance, who holds dominion over order and law, He was undoubtedly a great existence; even the main god would not deny this.

But He was, after all, the god of the Netherese, not the god of the Elves.

If that light referred to the Lord of Radiance, then what exactly was the change? With wisps of shadow wandering in the light, did it mean that the Lord of Radiance would meet with an accident?

However, how great is a 【God】? Even if Faluo were bolder, he would not truly believe that the Lord of Radiance would meet with any accident, even if He were a god of a different race.

Faluo pondered, what kind of change could it be? The main god's Oracle clearly pointed out that this change might affect the fate of the Elves. If it were not the Lord of Radiance, what could it be?

Faluo was from Keman, and he had already entrusted the Keman Ambassador to Netheril to help investigate the abnormal situation in the Netherese territory, and the Yierlan Ambassador was also being helped by the Yierlan Mages within the organization to make contact.

It was just that the results from there had not yet been sent back, and this situation had already appeared here.

For a moment, Faluo could not sit still. He felt that the situation had already exceeded his control and that he must report to the main god and wait for further Indication.

In Keman, Faluo also had his own family. Hurriedly ending this meeting, Faluo left the Tower of Governance and came before a small Altar inside his family estate to pray devoutly.

The process for a Priest to contact a god did not need to be too complicated. Soon, Faluo reported the entire situation, but he was unable to receive a reply from the main god.

Faluo did not feel surprised by this; even if some of his subordinates or juniors reported something to him, he could not possibly give a reply immediately, let alone a god.

Unless it was a very urgent situation, but at present, the change indicated or rather foreshadowed by the main god could not actually be considered urgent; at most, it could only be called important.

But who can truly control the things of the future? Even the main god himself could not be certain whether the so-called "change at the former site of the Alabaster Tower" would have a good or bad impact on the future fate of the Elves.

Receiving no reply, according to Faluo's understanding, it meant he should continue to investigate and wait and see.
