Chapter 761

The Enlightenment Halo is the most indescribable of all Negris's skills. Even a divine skill like muttering has a very cool name—Truth Whispers—with immediate effects.

Because the Monarch was afraid of his muttering, he simply wiped his memory, so one can imagine the power of this move. At the very least, it changes everyone's cognition; at the very worst, it rewrites history books.

However, the Enlightenment Halo had never shown any concrete power. Back then, Ang even placed the Huang Tong Book in the circle of Holy Spirit skeletons, trying to enlighten their wisdom to see if he could create a batch of intelligent undead creatures.

However, it didn't work. The eye-socket-poking was purely taught by the Little Angel. At that time, the Enlightenment Halo was not on the Huang Tong Book and had no enlightenment effect at all.

Therefore, whether the Enlightenment Halo is useful and how it exerts its effect, everyone is not very clear. Even Negris only discovered that students staying with him were particularly shrewd when cheating on exams, so he felt that their wisdom must have been enlightened, hence naming it the Enlightenment Halo.

But now the Monarch says it's not an Enlightenment Halo. Could he have made some other discovery?

"When I was in the Starburst Plane, I discovered that when I was with a bunch of idiots, I was very smart. Everything I thought about was clear, and everything I learned was immediate."

"But when I was with those very smart guys, I would discover: how are these guys so smart and full of wisdom? Even if the Enlightenment Halo could enlighten their wisdom, it couldn't possibly make me stupid, right?"

"Later, when I was with a bunch of stupid skeletons, I suddenly understood. Didn't you say before? The Enlightenment Halo enlightens others' wisdom while one's own remains unchanged, which is equivalent to a disguised reduction of intelligence. Could it be that you were mistaken? This isn't a disguised reduction of intelligence, but a real reduction of intelligence? After all, you yourself have this cognition," the Monarch said.

Anthony slapped his thigh fiercely. He understood at this point:

"Any divine skill must function according to the god's cognition. Lord Nai Ge's cognition of the Enlightenment Halo became 'disguised intelligence reduction.' Therefore, even if the Enlightenment Halo had the effect of enlightening wisdom when it first awakened, the moment Lord Nai Ge produced the thought of 'disguised intelligence reduction,' the Enlightenment Halo became an 'Intelligence Reduction Halo.'"

Thought is reality.

The Monarch said: "It's not exactly an Intelligence Reduction Halo; it can only be considered a 'Halo that lowers one's own intelligence to increase others' intelligence.' Damaging oneself to benefit others—Negris, you are truly great."

"Ah, pah! Pah-pah-pah-pah-pah—" Because the halo was turned off and he wasn't being disguisedly intelligence-reduced, Negris immediately heard the mockery in the Monarch's words and was so angry that he spat wildly at the Monarch.

The Monarch said with a chuckle: "So I put the halo on a Petrified Dragon. That dragon's IQ is quite high, so the degree of reduction is large, and the degree of increase is also high."

"Oh—" Everyone realized. No wonder the Monarch didn't carry the halo on himself. After all, this kind of halo that damages oneself to benefit others was brought over from the Main Plane, so it could naturally be brought to the Chaos Plane.

"Then what should we do? Find someone smart who doesn't need to use their brain and put it on them?" Anthony suggested.

Everyone looked left and right, and finally, their gazes fell on Negris.

Negris pondered for a while under everyone's gaze and said helplessly: "Just put it on me. Not having to use my brain is actually quite nice."

Thinking it over, the most suitable person here is himself. In terms of schemes and plots, he can't compare to Anthony; in terms of scamming people and doing business, he can't compare to Silver Coin; in terms of fighting, he can't compare to Ang.

But it still requires a certain amount of wisdom. You can't put it on the Little Angel, right?

Thinking carefully, it is true that after he got the Enlightenment Halo back, he became less and less fond of using his brain. At the time, he thought it was because Anthony was there and he had become lazy. He didn't expect it was caused by this damn halo.

However, it seems there is nothing bad about this. He never liked using his brain anyway; he just likes knowledge. Moreover, his calculation ability hasn't weakened. Calculating back and forth, it's still most suitable for him to carry it.

Thinking of this, Negris sighed: "But it's no longer appropriate to call it the Enlightenment Halo. Let's change the name to the Intelligence Balance Halo. Without me balancing your wisdom, you will all become stupid."

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed, and the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Famobis, who had been tossed to the side, was depressed. Everyone was talking perfectly well, so why did they toss him aside and start studying a halo?

However, he didn't dare to urge them, because what Negris said hit his hidden thoughts exactly. After reversing time, all relationships will change. As long as one chooses a time node most favorable to him, everything can start over.

However, inscribing Time Laws is not an easy task. Ever since the Time Origin disappeared, Famobis thought he would never have this opportunity again. He didn't expect the Ancient Dragon hadn't died.

As long as he inscribes the Time Laws, he can not only reverse time and return to a node favorable to himself, but he can even reverse it back to the time when the Time Origin was just born and become friends with the Ancient Dragon.

As long as he and the Ancient Dragon join forces, the laws of the entire void will be defined by them.

Just thinking about it makes him excited. However, to complete this vision, he needs to first trick them out of the Time Laws. He feels there is still a lot of hope, because this is already the last resort.

The void is collapsing. If the Eternal Divine Light and the Myriad World Divine Tree are not resurrected, the collapse of the void cannot be reversed. Although they have these doubts, in a situation where they have no choice, they are very likely to accept his proposal.

Before that, he needs to dispel the other party's doubts: "I am willing to offer my mark to the Time Origin."

Ang first took out the Huang Tong Book and activated the Enlightenment Halo—oh, it's renamed now, called the Intelligence Balance Halo.

Not knowing if it was psychological, everyone said: "I seem to have become smarter."

The smarter Anthony turned to ask Famobis: "If the Ancient Dragon is the Time Origin, then what origin is the Abyss Big Mouth? And what origin is the Hole-Hole Worm?"

"The Hole-Hole Worm is the Space Origin, and the Big Mouth is the Destruction Origin," Famobis said.

"Then what about the Void Will?" Anthony threw out the question he truly wanted to know.

Famobis was stunned for a moment and said: "The Void Will is not an origin; it is the will of the void, the collection of all laws."

"Why are you so sure? Aren't you afraid he is deceiving you?" Anthony asked.

Famobis said: "No, the First Void Law was inscribed for me by him."

Anthony asked again: "Is there a possibility that it only mastered the Void Laws but is not the true Void Will? Could it be that the void has no will?"

Anthony has seen too many guys in the church who pass on false teachings and distort the scriptures. Could this Void Will, which hides its head and shows its tail, also be in such a situation?

"This... this... I don't know about this," Famobis said distressingly. Anthony's guess was something he had never thought of.

Anthony shrugged and spread his hands: "Then I'm sorry, but we actually have another way, which is to dismantle you and plunder your ability to inscribe laws. We talked so much about plundering halos just now, and you heard it all, yet you have no sensitivity at all. I can't help you."

Anthony retreated to the side, and Ang slowly leaned over, pressing one hand onto Famobis's center point.

PS: Recently, I've been stuck on the manuscript to the point of being miserable.
