Chapter 769: A hellish joke from the Tower of Reason

A hellish joke from the Tower of Reason

This was undoubtedly a hellish joke from a 【Truth】 believer. Although it wasn't funny, it was truly hellish.

Cheng Shi's head was buzzing. He had originally thought the Creation Alchemy Department was already inhuman enough, but he hadn't expected the Life Extension Department to have even greater experts?

Did this kind of racial extinction... no, this faith-extinction-style massacre not trigger resistance from the Natural Alliance?

Wang Mou was very smart; he clearly saw Cheng Shi's confusion, but his next answer made this unfunny hellish joke even more hellish.

"Resistance?

Naturally, there was resistance, but only the believers of 【Prosperity】 resisted seriously.

Although the believers of 【Birth】 were imprisoned, under the catalysis of the Tower of Reason's experimental methods, their reproduction speed far exceeded that of the free development period. Soon, a new generation of 【Birth】 believers appeared under the oppression of 【Truth】. They felt that this oppression didn't seem to be a bad thing; at least on the road to approaching the Benefactor, they were walking faster than before, so these people gradually chose to accept it.

Of course, you can also understand it as them becoming more devout under the circumstances of suffering 'persecution'.

The believers of 【Death】... needless to say, thanks to their own cooperation, these tribes soon disappeared within the borders of the Tower of Reason.

As for 【Prosperity】, the scattered resistance that had lost help from left and right was too insignificant for the entire 【Truth】 state machine.

Their only luck was that after the Tower of Reason selected 【Birth】 believers as experimental materials, they let go of other 【Prosperity】 believers who hadn't been captured. These 【Prosperity】 followers gained a breathing space, so they all migrated, merged with the rainforest tribes there, and thus avoided the various disasters that followed.

So sometimes resistance is useless. Only by jumping out of that crisis-filled environment is it possible to win a glimmer of breathing space. You're right, Fate Weaver, aren't you?"

Hearing this, Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, thinking that this Wang Mou was fond of metaphors. Was this perhaps the reason he wanted to leave that world?

Could it be that the 0221 of that world was even more radical than the current one?

But compared to that invisible and untouchable 0221, Cheng Shi was clearly more interested in the results of this experiment. Humans certainly couldn't create gods, and even if they could, they could never create a god recognized by 【Origin】.

You must know, no matter how complex this timeline was, no matter how many slices this universe had, 【Origin】 was definitely the ultimate of everything. It was 【Him】 who bestowed the authority and divine name, which led to the current sixteen true gods.

So the experiment must have failed. But since this early Life Extension experiment was destined to fail, why did 0221 choose to replicate it?

Cheng Shi couldn't figure it out. He could only associate the reasons for this with other reasons for experimental failure in history, so he asked again:

"How did the experiment fail?"

Wang Mou was a scholar who never stinted on sharing. Just as he said, he had been practicing the true 【Truth】 belief, which was that knowledge should circulate.

"You are very smart, Fate Weaver, thinking of the key point immediately. But I haven't found the logic for him to replicate this experiment from those reasons.

Because this experiment, which caused a faith massacre, was not interrupted by internal disputes, but was forced to end due to external pressure.

Correct, you probably guessed it: it was the Grand Inquisition.

As the largest force in the Continent of Hope at that time, the Grand Inquisition had always wanted to recover the 'lost lands' where 【Truth】 faith had sprouted. But hindered by so-called 'faith fairness,' they hadn't found an opportunity until this experiment began. With the accusation and support of the Natural Alliance, the iron hooves of the Iron Law Knights directly trampled over the borders of the Tower of Reason.

Surrounded and oppressed by 【Order】, the then-weak Scholarly Chair Committee had to abandon this experiment and hand over the presiding scholar of the experiment as the sole 'sinner'.

This period of history is too secret. Few people know it. Whether it is the records of the Tower of Reason or the records of the Grand Inquisition, they have blurred that transaction back then. If I hadn't been lucky enough to experience this period of history, I wouldn't know, and I wouldn't have such a deep impression of this experiment.

Thinking about it, his understanding of this experiment might also have come from me.

You should understand what I mean. All previous versions of me had to hand over their memories."

Wang Mou did not have any negative emotions due to the treatment he received in the past; he just stated all this in a narrative tone.

"So, I can't think of the reason he replicated this experiment. Perhaps we have overlooked something."

Overlooked something?

Cheng Shi also frowned. He, like the doctor, was frantically thinking about the answer, feeling that this answer was the key to recognizing this experiment. But Hu Wei clearly didn't think so. He stopped his steps, his expression turning serious:

"Alright, we've learned enough. We didn't come to investigate the type of experiment, nor to understand the history of the experiment. We came to find the method of combining divinity.

Doctor, you know this place best. Where do you think we will find clues?"

Wang Mou shook his head seriously and said:

"This experiment has no part concerning divinity combination. What it has is just some physical blending of faith carriers. So we were deceived. His inspiration did not come from this experiment.

It's just that I haven't figured out why he would capture such a large batch of players to do this experiment, making this experiment, which could have been completed secretly, so high-profile.

He only needed to quietly capture a batch of players, and he could let them gestate endlessly until he quietly completed this experiment under everyone's noses, if this experiment could have a result...

And from what we see now, he is clearly using these 【Birth】 newborns with little wisdom to splice that 【Him】 he wants to create. Doing so indeed increases efficiency, because these newborns with almost pure faith will not have thoughts of abandoning their faith, which can make the spliced faith more cohesive.

However... everything has its pros and cons. The reason the scholars of the Tower of Reason did not choose this plan was because they were afraid that the 'Him' spliced out would be uncontrollable. After all, these life forms resembling newborns don't have much wisdom to speak of.

Just like now, the Grotesque Mother Tree that rushed over is a product of faith mutation. It doesn't deserve the word 'god' at all; even a wild god can't compare to it. It can only be said to be an evil entity, a faith aggregate that has twisted the will of 【Birth】, like the evil entity recorded in the distant history of the Life Era, similar to 【Life】 God Gollyss before she ascended in the beginning."
