Chapter 8

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Flamme calmed her mind, selectively ignored the term she couldn't understand, and looked at him with strange eyes:

"You still want to learn magic?"

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows: "If you are willing to teach, why wouldn't I learn?"

Flamme shook her head: "No matter how powerful magic is, it can't compare to one of your thoughts. I can't understand the significance of you learning magic."

Lin Yu rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "That's not right. Why must there be significance? Let's talk about you. You have already mastered countless powerful magic, but isn't your favorite still the magic to create a flower field?"

"I am because—"

Flamme's words stopped abruptly, then sighed: "Alright, I understand what you mean."

Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction: "As long as you understand. So, do you have any ideas?"

Flamme pondered for a moment and hesitated: "Maybe there really is..."

"Oh?"

Lin Yu was a bit surprised.

Flamme raised her right hand, and a stream of light burst from her palm, condensing into a thick-covered book.

"What is this?"

"Scripture."

Flamme lowered her eyes, stroking the relief of the holy staff on the cover of the book, and said softly: "The scripture bestowed by the Goddess who created the world and is omniscient and omnipotent in myths and legends."

So it's this thing!

Lin Yu became interested, carefully sizing up this creation that clearly transcended the era.

"Looking at the language textbooks you brought before, I thought humans still used writing tools like animal skins and wooden boards. It turns out you invented paper long ago!"

"Actually, not yet..."

Flamme shook her head, raising the scripture in her hand: "This thing is not a human creation, but a specialty of the church. It is said that as long as the conditions for becoming a scripture are met, no matter what writing tool it was before, it will become like this."

Lin Yu said with interest: "Is this the Goddess's magic?"

Flamme nodded: "That's right. Using the Goddess's magic requires innate aptitude. Those who possess this aptitude will gain resistance to curses, so we call it 【Goddess's Blessing】."

"Wait!"

Lin Yu said speechlessly: "You don't think I have this Goddess's Blessing, do you?"

Flamme shook her head: "No, I mean, human magic is too small for you, just like a hundred-meter-tall giant cannot hold a one-meter-long sword, but the Goddess's magic might be just right for you."

Saying that, she opened the scripture in her hand, looking at the stories and commandments recorded in it, and said: "Although the scripture itself does not contain any content of the Goddess's magic, after a long time of interpretation, monks have discovered that these stories of the age of gods and the Goddess's commandments actually hide many ways to use the Goddess's magic."

"I didn't understand before why the Goddess had to hide magic in stories and commandments."

"Until that moment just now, I suddenly realized that perhaps it was because the true God's power was too great, and the Goddess could only choose this way to pass down her magic..."

"So now you understand, like curses that cannot be explained, the Goddess's magic is also an existence that transcends common sense. With human mastery of magic today, we cannot understand the principles behind it at all."

"Such magic might be just right for you."

"As for the Goddess's Blessing, you are a god from another world. If it's you, the Goddess might give you some face, or even break the rules and appear to see you!"

At the last sentence, Flamme's eyes burst with strange colors of curiosity and desire for knowledge.

Lin Yu had black lines all over his head: "In the end, this last sentence is your true intention, right!"

Flamme nodded calmly: "That's right."

"You really don't hide anything at all!"

Lin Yu complained while taking the scripture from her hand.

No matter what, let's try it!

Thinking of this, Lin Yu immediately mobilized his consciousness, cautiously extending his tentacles into the scripture.

In an instant, the scripture, thick as a brick, burst into dazzling light.

This light was too intense, so much so that Flamme, who was looking directly at it, had her eyes stung, and had to close her eyes, releasing several magic shields to protect herself.

Until a few seconds later, the dazzling light finally gradually faded.

Flamme kept her eyes closed, listening to the rustling sound of the scripture turning pages, and couldn't help asking: "Did it succeed?"

"... Rejected."

A slightly helpless voice came from the front.

Flamme was slightly stunned, and hurriedly opened her sore eyes, looking at the youth holding the scripture.

I saw the youth holding the open scripture, and the pages that should have been filled with myths and the Goddess's commandments had now become blank!

How could this be possible?!

Flamme's pupils shrank, staring blankly at the blank scripture.

Lin Yu turned the blank pages, a thoughtful look appearing on his delicate face.

In the process of his consciousness contacting the scripture, he did indeed sense an extremely powerful force.

This force was quite similar to the world consciousness that had blocked his entry earlier, but the two were by no means the same existence.

From this point of view, this Goddess was still far from creating the world and being omniscient and omnipotent, at most she had been able to touch the origin of the world, and was still far from Lin Yu's status.

As for the wariness she felt after discovering him, Lin Yu felt that perhaps in the process of the world blocking his entry, this Goddess also contributed some effort.

Then it couldn't be blamed on her; who told him to be an uninvited guest who forcibly broke into someone else's home!

"... This is really a situation I've never seen before!"

Flamme came back to her senses, looking at the blank scripture with burning eyes: "But no matter what, at least the scripture is still here!"

Lin Yu was slightly stunned.

Yes, the scripture is still here!

This thing withstood his consciousness and didn't instantly annihilate!

Could it be that the scripture itself also has some special wonders?

Lin Yu hurriedly closed the scripture and found that the relief of the holy staff on the cover was gradually fading.

Before long, the holy staff relief disappeared completely, replaced by a complex rune that was extremely profound.

Lin Yu was thoughtful; he tentatively extended his consciousness tentacles into it, and sure enough, he left his mark on the rune.

At the same time, a perfect circular relief appeared on the cover.

Lin Yu had a strange expression, and with a thought, the circular relief began to twist, first turning into a Song-style character "Lin," and then turning into the image of the "Ridge Peak Lord" Longlongyan in the twisting.

Flamme watched this scene from the side and couldn't help asking: "What is going on?"

Lin Yu raised his head, his tone a bit strange: "If I'm not mistaken, that Goddess should have given it to me..."

Does this count as showing goodwill?

Lin Yu muttered in his heart.

Flamme was stunned when she heard this, and then pondered: "So, it is your scripture from now on?"

"Hmm."

Lin Yu nodded, and then holding the scripture, his consciousness tentacles extended into it again.

Not long after, he raised his hand, and a blue light bursting with magic fluctuations appeared in his palm.

"Sure enough, it works!"

A smile appeared on Lin Yu's face.

He tried to use the scripture as a medium for magic cultivation and found that this thing could indeed transform and downgrade his spiritual power, thereby indirectly affecting the magic in the atmosphere.

"In this way, activating magic is no longer a problem. Flamme, teach me magic quickly!"

Hearing Lin Yu's impatient words, Flamme's face became strange.

After hesitating for a while, she said: "Lin, let's say it first, I have only taught humans before, and I don't know how to teach gods..."

Lin Yu said without hesitation: "Just follow the normal process~"

"Alright, if anything happens, I won't be responsible."

After speaking, Flamme began to explain the principle of magic composition.

After waiting for Lin Yu to nod to show understanding, she continued: "Current mages have developed the technique of non-chanting, but if beginners want to release magic, it's better to learn to chant spells."

"I'll teach you a few elementary elemental magic first, follow me and chant—"

"Sigh of the Wind... Blade of Splitting the Sky!"

"Whoosh—"

In an instant, magic compressed the air into a blade, carrying a sharp wind sound and slashing forward, leaving a cutting mark several feet long on the broken giant tree in front.

"What's this, the spell is so bluffing, it turns out to be ordinary wind blade."

"This is not difficult, watch me!"

Lin Yu held the scripture and said confidently: "Wind—"

"Whoosh—"

Before the words fell, countless magic existing in the atmosphere rioted, as if a group of wanderers who had finally found a harbor, cheering and responding to Lin Yu's call.

In just an instant, a terrifying wind blade a hundred meters long condensed in Lin Yu's gradually stiff expression.

The magic escaping from the edge of the wind blade constantly cut the ground and trees, making the already messy forest worse.

Seeing this scene, Flamme, who had long supported a shield on her body, sighed and said faintly: "I knew it!"
