Chapter 551: Inside the World

Leaving aside those things, Li Shiwei is currently in the midst of her own adventure.

There was no way, she had to take risks, because what she wanted was something like 'history of civilization', which was an extremely important thing in any civilization.

The development history of the entire civilization, its secrets, and the biographies of all famous people are not easily collected. Even for the civilization itself, it takes a lot of effort to sort them out.

Only then did Li Shiwei realize how luxurious she once was, and how precious the thousands of civilization histories she had spent more than ten years reading were.

However, if we want to find commonalities, we must look at the history of civilization.

Therefore, she made a plan. She planned to hide her identity and secretly establish a force of her own. She would use this hidden secret force to go to various countries in the world and sort out the history of civilization in this world from clues. .

This process should not be too ostentatious. Her current identity is an extraterrestrial intruder, and she has disturbed the original strong men of this world, so she should not be too arrogant.

A group of seventh-grade tough men will beat her to death, so she still has to be careful and keep her head down.

Therefore, the establishment of a secret force must be put on the agenda.

First of all, we need to find a few more suitable juniors, so that the juniors can become the highest-level existence in the organization, and start to develop as a local force.

And the way to find a younger brother...

She still remembered many of the stories her father told her when she was a child, and she could apply them now.

The third month of coming into this world.

In the middle of a country, inside the research institute of the royal capital.

The research institute here is the power of practitioners in this world. In Li Shiwei's understanding, it is similar to 'Taoism'.

The world is called Dao Tong, but in some smaller and more rustic places, this kind of force is called 'sect'.

Anyway, they are all similar things. A group of people may work together to survive, or may have the same goals. Anyway, they are a group that gathers together because of some common goals. Generally, they have the same obvious characteristics.

These research institutes generally have a high-level mentor as the core, because according to the laws of the country, only high-level mentors can open their own research institutes.

Since it is called a mentor, there must be students below, high-level mentors, paired with a few lower-level teaching assistants, and then some 'apprentices'. This is the main structure of a research institute.

This kind of organization is relatively strict, so there are relatively few people. It is basically the path passed down from master to apprentice. The apprentice almost unconditionally obeys the mentor in exchange for the opportunity to learn.

The content of the study is also very simple, which is to learn the exercises, or according to the parlance of this world, it is called 'truth'.

The natives of this world believe that what they learn is the truth of the world, and they are people close to the truth. Their strength, the ability to destroy mountains and seas, is brought about by being close to the truth.

Of course, from Li Shiwei's point of view, they were actually learning the techniques step by step. Except for those 'instructors', the others didn't even see the shadow of the 'Dao', they were all obsessed with small techniques.

However, for the local indigenous people, these small skills are their extraordinary power and the foundation for their livelihood.

At this moment, Li Shiwei quietly appeared in a research institute, hiding it from almost everyone.

She has already investigated with Shitou. The main research topic of this research institute is 'god'.

Of course, that's not how they say it in their native language, but that's probably what it means.

Their 'gods' are actually some indigenous gods who have adopted indigenous beliefs and inadvertently shaped their golden bodies. There are many such 'gods' in the world, but they are still very rare in the world.

Especially in this world, the importance placed on ‘gods’ is simply unbearable.

As mentioned before, there are two Taoist traditions in this world that focus on magic. One is the pursuit of truth, and the other is similar to the combination of primitive witchcraft and primitive Shinto.

The corresponding one is the research institute and another religious organization. The two don't like each other and have been secretly competing for a long time.

Li Shiwei is very familiar with this kind of contest.

Dao Zheng.

The research purpose of this research institute is to decipher the mystery of "god". Their research topic is how "god" was born.

For the indigenous people, it is already very good to have such awareness.

And this idea is also the reason why Li Shiwei likes it.

And Li Shiwei wanted to be this 'god'.

Anyway, in terms of cultivation, she is no different from a god to these people.

————————

Lu De is an 'apprentice' at the institute.

Apprentice and mentor are categories on the road to truth. Apprentice means that you are still learning, and being mentored means that you have reached the boundary of everyone's knowledge. Every step forward for mentors is creating new history.

Therefore, the mentor's knowledge is original. Almost every mentor has his own unique skills and understanding of the truth, while the apprentices can only follow their mentor step by step and learn the knowledge that the mentor has created.

As for a high-level mentor, it means that you are an outstanding one among the mentors, and you have far surpassed other mentors.

Of course, this is the view of the natives.

From Li Shiwei's perspective, apprentices are not of grade, and mentors are of grade nine. Most of the high-level mentors are the best among grade nine, and a very small number are truly grade eight.

As for grade seven, that is the top existence in this world. It is estimated that there are not many, and it is difficult to meet one by oneself.

Let's talk about Lu De.

This is a diligent young man, and the most talented young man in the entire institute. He has an extraordinary experimental intuition and a very good grasp of the truth.

Unfortunately, he is a poor boy from the countryside.

An assistant teacher in the institute, a kind old man with the title of mentor, brought Lu De up from the countryside, funded him to study here, and gave him many job opportunities.

But his funds are still difficult to support long-term learning. After all, experimental consumables are quite expensive things. Because of his background, he doesn't get along well with other classmates.

It's not that his classmates bully him. After all, everyone comes to learn the truth. There is no such thing as you have good talent and are poor, so we have to suppress you.

He just has a good family background, he's not a retard, why would he make enemies with him?

So, they just can't get along.

The classmates talked about dances, operas, and fine wines imported from other countries.

How could he possibly get involved in such conversations?

Since they couldn't get along... naturally, they couldn't get too close, so he was the most withdrawn person in the entire institute. Apart from the kind mentor who took him out of the countryside, he had few friends in the entire capital.

"Teacher Jin, these are today's equipment. They are all divine tools sent from the Holy City. They are said to be related to the gods. Along with these equipment came news from the Holy City. It is said that... there is a new miracle there."

An old man in a gorgeous robe raised his head and reached out to adjust his monocle: "New miracle? Is it the same as the faint light before?"

"No, it is said that during a large-scale sacrifice, the statue came to life... and then disappeared without a trace and ran away."

"Run away?" The old man called Teacher Jin widened his eyes: "Where did it go?!"

"I don't know." Lu De shook his head: "But it has been regarded as a miracle. The Holy City has decided to record this sacrifice and spread it widely. . "

Teacher Jin nodded, stood up, and began to pace around the room: "That looks real, so leave the equipment over there. Since there is a new miracle, and it is so significant, it shows that communication with the gods is indeed effective. We just haven't found that point yet, but the direction is right. "

Lu De, the shy little boy nodded, and then asked: "Also... Teacher Jin, do you think it is possible for a person's soul to exist independently without the body? I'm not talking about ghosts and spirits, but still living souls. "

"Well... In the current research, it is possible. Why? Have you encountered any problems in your studies? About the soul?" Teacher Jin looked up, a little curious.

This question is not often heard.

"No, I just have an idea. What is the difference between gods and this kind of living soul?" Lu De asked.

"This is an interesting idea. You can publish an introduction, but before finding a living soul, it can only be said to be an introduction, and it is not a real discovery." Teacher Jin said.

"I understand." Lu De said with his head down.

However, although he lowered his head, Lu De's expression suddenly became extremely distorted.

This distortion was caused by the strong emotional impact of shock, ecstasy, worry, fear and other thoughts all bursting out in an instant. In other words, he had strong emotions, but he didn't know what expression to make. He could only lower his head to hide his emotions to prevent being seen by others.

Then, he forcibly suppressed his emotions and said in a normal voice: "Then I'll leave first, Teacher Jin."

The old man didn't notice anything wrong: "Study hard, with your talent, it is very likely that you will get the qualification of a tutor within fifteen years. Don't care too much about the gains and losses now, the future is still long."

"By the way, you have made great progress in the past few days and put forward many useful ideas, which are all very good. I won't take your credit. I have written a report to the senior tutor. The reward for you should be implemented in two months. Keep working hard."

"I understand, thank you, Teacher Jin." Lu De saluted seriously and turned to leave.

Just after walking out of the institute, at the entrance of the corridor, he suddenly covered his chest, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, using this method to lower his heartbeat.

At this time, his chest spoke.

"Your teacher is okay. You see, his words have proved everything I said. Now you can believe it, right? I am a real senior tutor. When I still have a body, I am much better than all the senior tutors in the institutes here. Look at the award you got... I only need a few words to let you get the award you dream of."

"With this award, you can apply for more experimental resources, right? Is my sincerity enough?" A voice came from his chest that only Lu De could hear.

"...I don't know if you are lying to me." Lu De gritted his teeth.

"I don't want to argue about deception, which is hard to explain. I just want to tell you that meeting you is my chance, and meeting me is also your chance. Don't waste your luck. If you don't want to believe me, just throw me away. I don't have much power left, so I can't say too much." The voice in the chest said.

Lu De was silent for a while, and said, "How much energy do you need to keep talking?"

"The remaining energy crystals you have are the ones stripped from the monsters. All of them are enough for me to stay awake for two or three months." The voice in the chest said.

"So many?! Do you know how long I have stored those crystals? That's all my savings!" Lu De said in astonishment.

"Knowledge is priceless, truth is priceless, isn't it?" The chest continued to speak.

"How far can you help me go?" Lu De asked again, his fingers trembling a little.

And the voice in the chest was still so calm.

Because he knew very well that when Lu De asked, "How much energy is needed", the young man had actually made up his mind.

So, the voice said: "How far you can go has nothing to do with me. How far you can go is the result of your own efforts, but what I can tell you is that I am a high-level mentor, and I need you to help me reshape a body."

After that, the voice in the chest stopped, because Lu De had walked out of the door, left the institute, and came to the street.

Lu De walked on the street in a daze. The apprentice robe on his body attracted many eyes. The pedestrians beside him also looked at him with admiration and fear, and they made way, not daring to block his way.

Then, as he walked, he suddenly met another classmate wearing an apprentice robe, who also seemed to be going to the institute.

He was a noble and gorgeous aristocrat, tall and straight, with a dazzling white-gold hair.

Lu De was originally very conspicuous, but compared with the other party, he was like an ugly duckling.

The two just passed by each other without even saying hello.

There was no need, anyway, they were not familiar with each other, so the other party pretended not to see Lu De and walked straight past.

Lu De was the same as the other party, not even a sidelong glance.

However, after they walked past each other, Lu De suddenly grabbed his chest.

On his chest, there was a piece of jade pendant with a strange shape, which didn't look like a creation of this world at all.

Grabbing the jade pendant, Lu De suddenly stood still, clenched his fingers tightly, and his veins popped.

Then, he said: "I promise you..."

The jade pendant also made a sound, saying calmly: "Deal."

(I had my wisdom teeth pulled out, my teeth grew sideways, I felt dizzy and cramped, and I was in so much pain that I wanted to keep updating.)
