Chapter 760: It Should Not Be Called the Halo of Enlightenment

Famosis was dragged back to the platform, and a large group of Ancient Gods followed, all arriving in the Domain of the Undying Lord for the first time, curiously looking around.

Anthony floated over; interrogating was something he handled more smoothly, so Famosis was handed over to him for questioning.

Seeing Ange floated off on his own into the outer Chaos Mist, reached out with a virtual grasp, and the surrounding Chaos Mist was immediately pulled toward him, gathering into a ball in his palm.

Lord Nai Ge flew over and asked curiously, "What are you doing? Have you found anything?"

Seeing Ange continued to fiddle with the Chaos Mist in his hand while replying, "The mist is strange."

"Oh, how is it strange?" Lord Nai Ge became curious; he knew Seeing Ange's personality well and knew he never spoke rashly, so if Seeing Ange said it was strange, there must be something peculiar about it.

Seeing Ange scratched his head and said, "With the Source Body, what is seen is different."

"How is it different?" Lord Nai Ge immediately understood; the Chaos Mist seen by the Source Body was actually different? What was different about it?

There was nothing strange about this; even in the Material Plane, mortals and gods saw Faith Mana differently. Mortals saw the effects Faith Mana presented, but Seeing Ange saw Soul Flames, lines, and a Faith Network.

In the eyes of the Source Body, what did the Chaos Mist look like?

Seeing Ange pondered in distress for a while, then shook his head; this was beyond his ability to explain, likely the level that the Source Body understood at a glance but mortals could not explain.

Perhaps someone else with eloquent speech could explain it, but this was too difficult for Seeing Ange.

However, Seeing Ange still tried to demonstrate in a way Lord Nai Ge could understand. Suddenly, the Faith Mist in his hand turned into a pool of mud flowing downward, and after leaving his palm, it slowly spread out.

Immediately after, the Faith Mist turned into seeds falling downward, landing on the previously spread mud, taking root and sprouting.

The crop growth process seemed to be demonstrated in a simulator; on the small patch of land formed from mud, tiny crops bore abundant fruit.

Lord Nai Ge approached in shock, pinched one up, and said, "It's actually real? Alive? You can materialize these things from the Chaos Mist?"

Seeing Ange nodded.

"But... but, why can't the Old Undying materialize them? The crops he watered were all fake," Lord Nai Ge exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing Ange said, "He does not know them."

"Does not know them? You mean he doesn't know those crops, so he cannot materialize the real ones?" Lord Nai Ge asked.

Seeing Ange nodded.

Lord Nai Ge put his hands on his hips, tucked his head, and pondered there; knowing was required to materialize the real, while not knowing meant only the fake could be materialized. This "knowing or not knowing" certainly did not refer to the names of the crops.

How well must one know them to materialize real crops? If one didn't know the crops but knew other things, like minerals, could one materialize minerals?

Through what power is this materialization formed? Is it the power of the Chaos Mist? Or the power of the Source Body? Or are both required?

Just as Lord Nai Ge buried his head in deep thought, Anthony, having finished the interrogation, floated over and said somewhat troubled, "The questioning is clear, but there are some things I cannot understand, so I cannot employ appropriate rhetoric. Just as Your Majesty said, a plane-dwelling being like me understands the structure of the Void too little."

Although the Monarch had already explained the structure of the Chaos Plane to everyone, everyone just listened and moved on. Among all of them, perhaps only Seeing Ange truly understood it.

There was no way around it; just as it is hard to describe what colors are to someone born blind, no matter how much you say, it is not as real as him seeing it with his own eyes.

If one does not understand something, Anthony finds it hard to turn it into rhetoric to induce the other party to reveal truly useful information, so he can only use very conventional Q&A, but with this method, it is hard for him to judge whether what the other party says is true.

Ordinary humans have facial micro-expressions to observe, but this stele has no face, so what expressions could it have?

"According to its account, it is the Law Stele of Ten Thousand Worlds, a divine artifact possessing the power of Laws. Once engraved with the marks of Laws, it will possess the power of Laws, and it will roam the Void to uphold the majesty of the Laws. The Little Demon King and Starfire have confirmed this claim," Anthony reported.

Lord Nai Ge said in shock, "This is the Inquisition."

Anthony nodded: "That is how I understand it too. Not only the Inquisition, but also a legal code that flies on its own. No wonder it said it is the same as my lord Nai Ge; from this perspective, it is indeed the same; we are all books."

Lord Nai Ge pondered and said, "Then can I understand it this way: it is a book that has gained sentience? Because it awakened self-awareness, it engraved the Law marks on its body and flies around, judging others in the name of the Laws?"

Anthony's eyes lit up: "Understanding it that way works too. Why didn't I think of it? Truly, the proverb holds: a fool thinks a thousand times, and once it is useful. My lord Nai Ge, you are truly amazing."

Lord Nai Ge put his hands on his hips and raised his tail: "That goes without saying... oh my, you death cultist, calling me a fool!"

Although joking habitually, Anthony felt Lord Nai Ge's guess was very reasonable and was an angle Anthony had overlooked.

"Who granted you the power to engrave Void Laws and judge others everywhere?" Anthony pulled Famosis out again for questioning.

"Of course, the Laws granted me this power; I uphold the majesty of the Laws," Famosis said matter-of-factly.

Anthony smiled and said, "But, you seem to lack sufficient strength to uphold the majesty of the Laws."

Famosis said indignantly, "All Ancient Gods of the Source have the ability to violate the Laws, and Lawbreakers can also violate the Laws. I was just plagued by misfortune and accidentally bumped into two Ancient Gods of the Source."

Anthony and Lord Nai Ge exchanged a glance, thinking silently: Your misfortune has wrapped around you more than once; bumping into them also makes you a Lawbreaker.

Famosis's tone made Anthony realize one thing: it was not that the Laws were powerless, but that Seeing Ange and the Monarch were somewhat too strong, so even the Laws could not constrain them.

Thinking of this, Anthony asked, "Since engraving the Laws cannot harm us, what use do we have for keeping you?"

"I can engrave Void Laws, and I can also engrave Time Laws. As long as there is enough energy, I can use the Time Law to reverse time, resurrecting the Divine Light and the Tree God. With past experience, the Tree God will surely find a way to maintain the Void's balance, and the Void Will will never dare to drive us around again."

Hearing Famosis's indignant tone, a sentence once spoken by a heretic suddenly flashed through Anthony's mind: The planes have suffered under the Church of Light for a long time...

Lord Nai Ge interjected and asked, "How do we know you aren't trying to trick us with the Time Law? After engraving the Time Law, will you be able to control time? What if you reverse time and return to before we met?"

Anthony suddenly slapped his thigh: "My lord Nai Ge has changed; you have become so wise. What exactly happened?"

"Hahaha!" The Monarch, watching the show from the side, suddenly laughed heartily: "As expected. I had Seeing Ange withdraw its Halo of Enlightenment to test something. Nai Ge, have you ever thought that your Halo of Enlightenment should not actually be called the 'Enlightenment' Halo?"
