Chapter 577: Bang Bang Bang Smashing

The moment it heard it say "wisdom," everyone knew it wasn't anything reliable—it didn't have that thing in the first place—so they turned their attention to the glowing equipment and quickly found the items that carried the aura of the God of Knowledge.

"This is a… whip? So small, not a horsewhip, and not a disciplinary whip either, since there are no barbs—more like a teaching cane?" everyone discussed.

Held in the hand it was only as long as an arm, as thick as a little finger, soft yet tough—no matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like a whip that could hurt anyone, more like a teaching cane meant for admonishment.

Seeing Ange picked it up, and the information attached to the whip immediately flowed into its mind—better than any instruction manual.

"Yalita's Whip of Admonition. Yalita? Don't recognize her." Seeing Ange muttered.

"She should be a divine envoy cultivated within the divine system of the God of Knowledge established by Your Majesty—the kind that can define divine spells. Even her weapon became a divine artifact. What does it do?" Anthony asked curiously.

Seeing Ange said with a hint of disdain: "Give you a whipping and it pours a bit of knowledge into you—called Knowledge Flogging. Like when I taught Seeing Ange his letters, one whipping and he learned them. Huh, that actually sounds pretty good."

Being able to teach Seeing Ange knowledge while whipping him at the same time—couldn't be better. Seeing Ange had long had it in for that damned skeleton, always annoying it every day.

Everyone nodded in agreement—indeed pretty good. One whipping and you learn a bit of knowledge—couldn't be more practical.

Admittedly, Seeing Ange taught Seeing Ange written magic with ease, but he is the God of Knowledge. What he can do effortlessly is an ability many people dream of.

Many people were fooled by Seeing Ange's appearance of being someone anyone could bully, completely forgetting his identity as the God of Knowledge. Just listing his divine skills alone would be terrifying.

Not to mention Enlightenment Halo—even ordinary gods don't have halos. Take Truth Murmur, Vitality Boost, Staying Up Without Going Bald—which of these isn't miraculous beyond belief?

Knowledge Flogging's effect is similar to Seeing Ange's Truth Murmur, and even more practical—mumbling lets you learn the knowledge, no need to whip you.

But from Seeing Ange's perspective, clearly whipping you while teaching you gives a greater sense of accomplishment.

Seeing Ange instantly grasped the merits of Yalita's Whip of Admonition and was about to put it away when a large hand reached over from the side and took the whip.

The one reaching out was Seeing Ange, which made Seeing Ange's heart jolt: Did that damned skeleton see through its sinister intent?

It was willing to put away this less efficient tool—the only one it wanted to whip was that damned skeleton. Did Seeing Ange react that fast? Nipping its foolish impulse in the bud?

Not at all. Seeing Ange snatched it for his own use. He raised the whip and gave the little angel and little zombie—who were poking each other in the eye sockets—a whipping first.

The little angel and little zombie sulkily shrank to one side, not daring to get angry with Seeing Ange, so they could only glare huffily at Seeing Ange.

"I… kua ba da, I'm not the one who whipped you, why hold a grudge against me." Seeing Ange was depressed.

Belonging to the God of Knowledge was only this Whip of Admonition; the remaining divine artifacts belonged to the Goddess of Harvest, the God of Undeath, and the Goddess of Redemption.

As for the Goddess of Beauty and the God of Cultivation, both were unique to Seeing Ange and had not spread to this world, so naturally there was no corresponding faith network.

"Let me see, the Goddess of Harvest's torch, the Goddess's blessing, the Goddess's handkerchief, the Goddess's statue, millstone, waterwheel, plow, rake, harrow—why so many farming tools? Did these believers mix up the Goddess of Harvest with the God of Cultivation?" Seeing Ange complained.

Harvest is often linked with farming, but the meaning of harvest is actually quite broad: a bountiful rice harvest is harvest, a bountiful wild fruit harvest is harvest, a bountiful pasture harvest represents a bountiful cattle and sheep harvest, a bountiful seafood catch, a bountiful population.

In the theological system, the Goddess of Harvest symbolizes abundance and growth, not limited to farming.

This generalization of definition has its pros and cons. The good side is a broader source of potential believers; the bad side is that beliefs are too scattered, unable to form a combined force, divine spells are all over the place, very unfavorable for development.

According to Silver Coin's way of putting it, there's no brand effect.

So these divine artifacts are all very low-grade goods, with weak effects. For example, the Goddess of Harvest's torch can increase the brightness of other torches.

When holding a celebration, stick a bunch of torches around, then stick this one in the middle of the venue, and it can noticeably increase the brightness of the surrounding torches.

The Goddess's blessing reduces the danger of childbirth and improves safety.

The Goddess's statue, placed at the bedhead, can produce a gazing conception effect, increasing the chance of pregnancy.

The Goddess's handkerchief, wipe snot; millstone, grind powder; farming tools, till the land—what a simple and unadorned goddess.

Although not very useful, Seeing Ange liked them. He liked these divine artifact farming tools even more, excitedly storing them in his dimensional space.

There was only one divine artifact belonging to the Goddess of Redemption—a shrunken "stone coffin" with a blue surface.

"This wouldn't be the legendary Eternal Coffin, would it?" Seeing Ange said suspiciously.

"Eternal Coffin? What does it do, spit it out, don't keep us in suspense, there's still a pile of stuff to look at." Anthony urged. Even he, an old seasoned divine swindler, was now a bit dazzled—too much.

Only the Tree of Life and Holy Light City could have a larger vault than this, but the one at the Tree of Life was almost all damaged due to poor preservation, and Holy Light City's level wasn't as high as this.

What was collected here were all divine artifacts, and all were well preserved.

This was clearly a place the monarch used for collection. The surroundings were compacted with breathing earth, cutting off the destructive effects of air and water. Every implement was preserved extremely well—channeling divine power could almost activate them.

"The Eternal Coffin can seal away anything, until eternity—even life is no exception. Put a peach in, take it out ten thousand years later and it's still juicy and moist, and can still sprout." Seeing Ange said.

Anthony looked carefully and said: "The seal on this is closed—could something be sealed inside?"

If something was sealed inside, it wasn't convenient to look for now, so he handed the Eternal Coffin to Seeing Ange.

Seeing Ange took it and casually opened it.

"……"

Seeing Ange's "casual" move left everyone dumbfounded—even the thing inside was dumbfounded.

A wisp of mourning soul floated in the stone coffin, blankly releasing its consciousness.

Seeing Ange slammed it shut again with a bang.

"It's a mourning soul." Seeing Ange said.

Seeing Ange couldn't help roaring: "I'm not blind, I saw it! Is now the time to study what's inside?! Seal it up quickly, discuss with us before you open it, ahhhh!!"

Before Seeing Ange finished shouting, the stone coffin exploded with a boom, and the mourning soul inside shot up into the sky: "Hahaha! I'm free, I'm free! I, Giant Hand Barru, you undying old thing, look at me… huh?"

A tendril of mental force stuck to the mourning soul, yanked it down from midair, and went bang bang bang smashing it.
