Chapter 2 Dual Path

After lunch, Wang Xiaoming went straight back to the dormitory.

First, he read Zhao Guangxian's resume. After making sure there were no problems, he put the resume away and put it aside.

He began to mobilize his memory and began to recall the novel Lord of Mysteries in his previous life, listing the twenty-two paths to becoming a god one by one in his mind.

Then list the sages and the voyeurs separately.

The generalist path is the path taken by Emperor Russell in the novel Lord of Mysteries. People on this path are basically great scientists and inventors. They focus on knowledge itself, and their most famous ability is the creation of extraordinary items.

So this sequence is also called the Artisan Path.

It’s just that this world doesn’t have extraordinary characteristics and extraordinary materials. Wang Xiaoming only hopes to use ghosts instead. If he can succeed, he can continue to turn ghosts into supernatural items and reduce the cost of use. By then, the headquarters will have a supernatural item, which will be helpful for maintaining the domestic Order helps tremendously.

The Mystic Path represents the arcane aspect of knowledge and can also create some spell scrolls. At a low sequence, you will master certain mysterious knowledge and can learn magic, witchcraft and divination.

So this sequence can also be called the Wizard Path.

In Wang Xiaoming's view, these two approaches are very similar, complementary and have their own characteristics.

Unfortunately, at low sequences, both paths have little combat effectiveness.

Of course, no matter which path you take, you will gain certain combat power and special abilities as you advance through the sequence. The True God Zero who is promoted to the final sequence is even more invincible.

Further up from the True God is the realm of the Old Ones. You need to monopolize the uniqueness of the two sequences and the characteristics of each sequence, plus the Wilderness of Source Knowledge to be promoted to the Old Ones.

And now that he has all the resources, he only needs to continue step by step to achieve the past.

After locking the dormitory door, Wang Xiaoming took out all the materials collected by Zhao Guangxian, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses. They were some candles and metal pieces, which were needed for arranging rituals in occult science.

The dormitory is very large, more than 60 square meters, with separate bedrooms and living rooms, and no surveillance. After Wang Xiaoming classified everything, he was not in a hurry to arrange the ceremony, but first prepared to incorporate the Secret Peeper potion.

Entering the consciousness sea space again, there is only one ball of light left in the consciousness sea space, which was formed by the secret-seeing man's potion. There is an eye-like symbol on it, but compared to the beginning, the secret-seeing man's potion became It feels a bit illusory, as if the power has passed away.

Observing this scene, Wang Xiaoming was not surprised. He just put his consciousness into the secret spy potion and got part of the information.

After reading the information, the doubts in his mind were lifted, because according to the information he obtained, he knew that the magic potion in the Secret Peeper's symbol had disappeared and the power was still there, but in the form of a gift.

Just like in the novel, if you want to obtain the second path, it can only exist in the form of a gift. The gift is the end of this path - the power given by the past.

In the world of the Lord of Mysteries, everyone can only choose one divine path. If you are greedy, tread two boats, and cross two paths, you will easily go half crazy or die, and some will even turn into monsters.

This is because the extraordinary power itself contains madness and chaos, which come from the original Creator who created the world. Even the powerful pillar-level Old Ones are not immune to it, so the magic potion must be taken in the correct order and method.

Therefore, if you want to have the power of the second path, you can only get the gift from the past. Only in this way can you not lose control.

The power of the gift is no different from the extraordinary ability obtained by taking potions in terms of use, but there is a difference in the source of the extraordinary power.

The extraordinary abilities of those who become Extraordinary after taking the magic potion come from the magic potion they have taken. They need to digest it and then move up the promotion sequence step by step.

The gifted power is a power given from outside. Because it is a power from outside, it may be withdrawn. And as the power increases, the recipient's body and mind will move closer to the other person.

The advantage is that the power of gifts does not need to be acted out and digested. You only need to obtain the gifts corresponding to the old days to advance.

Wang Xiaoming now has two paths to God. The path of the generalist can be advanced by taking magic potions, and the secret peeper can pray for gifts in the wilderness of knowledge.

This is his golden finger, which is the guarantee for his survival in this supernatural world. Wang Xiaoming also has a guess about the origin of the golden finger.

"I think it has something to do with the games on my phone."

Wang Xiaoming thought to himself that it was because he was playing games on his mobile phone when he got into the car accident. As soon as he chose a career, his vision went dark and he was sent away.

The game he played at that time was Mystery, and it was very possible that the account in the game traveled through time with him.

Without thinking any more, Wang Xiaoming concentrated on piercing the secret-peeping man's light group. The familiar starlight spread out like fireworks, slightly illusory, and this time the color was purple.

There was murmuring in my ears again, but it was more serious than the first time, and there was also an inexplicable feeling of weightlessness.

However, having already experienced it once, he had some experience and remained calm and unmoved.

Soon there was itching all over his body, as if the hairs all over his body were squirming, and he couldn't help but want to scratch. Only then did he realize that his body had frozen, as if he had been hit by a immobilization spell and couldn't move.

Slowly, the strange feeling gradually disappeared. Just when Wang Xiaoming felt that it was about to end, his vision began to distort. Everything in the room was like the scene reflected in a mirror, began to distort and lengthen, and then returned to normal.

The light turned into runes and the shadows turned into worms. After they penetrated hard into his body, the surroundings became completely normal.

After the fusion was completed, Wang Xiaoming took a long breath with lingering fear. He did not expect to meet the unique Knowledge Chaser among the Secret Seekers in the late stage of the gift. He almost thought that he was going to mutate.

Fortunately, there is no hidden sage in this world, otherwise, he would have died on the spot.

The phenomenon of knowledge chasing people is unique to the path of the voyeur. The voyeur pursues knowledge, and knowledge also pursues the voyeur. This is also a more dangerous point of the Secret Peeping Path.

But there are good and bad. As long as they can survive this stage, the secret peeper will gain some special knowledge.

After checking his body and finding that there were no extra arms or legs, Wang Xiaoming began to check the abilities he gained after becoming a secret peeper.

There is a lot more mysterious knowledge in my mind about magic, witchcraft, divination, and some basic ritual magic.

It's just that most of the rituals cannot be used. There are no foreign gods in this world, and his ritual magic cannot cross the world barrier.

As for other mysterious knowledge, he still needs to test one by one to determine the situation.

The most obvious thing is that the eyes have undergone some changes, and they can see things more clearly. This is also a characteristic of people who peep into secrets. Their eyesight is particularly good. Otherwise, how can you peep into mysteries?

When you reach the seventh wizard in the wizard path sequence, your eyes will undergo greater changes, and you will have half-finished eyes of voyeurism. At that time, you will not only be able to peer into more, but you can also put your eyes on spiritual creatures and peek at them remotely.

It is equivalent to a camera, but this method requires a specific spiritual world creature. There is no spiritual world in this world, let alone any spiritual world creature.

In the end, when knowledge was chasing people, a piece of knowledge appeared in his mind out of thin air, that was - the method of making identification charms.

Appraisal is the ability of Sequence 7 in the Artisan Path. It can quickly identify magical items, intuitively grasp the abilities and problems of most extraordinary items, and use them to avoid danger as much as possible.

Although it is not a battle spell, it is very useful for him to study supernatural ghosts.

Back in front of him, Wang Xiaoming prepared to meditate to activate spiritual vision. This is a special ability that can be activated after becoming a Sequence Extraordinary.

After becoming an extraordinary person, he will gain the ability to use spiritual power. Wang Xiaoming can mobilize his spirituality through meditation and open up his spiritual vision.

Wang Xiaoming only prepared to turn on spiritual vision after becoming a voyeur, just because voyeurs are better at this aspect than those who have a general knowledge.

Spiritual vision is a special ability that only extraordinary people have. It allows extraordinary people to see the spirituality of all things, see the various auras of living beings to perceive their emotions and physical health, and also see some ghosts that cannot be seen with the naked eye. and the undead.

Somewhat like an enhanced version of Yin Yang Eyes.

The method of activating spiritual vision is mentioned in the mysterious novel. Wang Xiaoming imitated it step by step according to the content of the novel in which the protagonist swallows the magic potion.

The meditation process went smoothly, maybe because the world was different, or for other reasons, the spiritual power was waving like an arm under Wang Xiaoming's thoughts.

Finally, he turned on his spiritual vision according to the plot of the novel and looked around.

Everything is business as usual!

Well, he kept no living things in his room except himself.

Spiritual power is possessed by every life, but it cannot be mobilized and used unless it is an extraordinary person. Compared with extraordinary people, the spirituality of ordinary life is very weak.

Wang Xiaoming lowered his head and looked at his limbs and stomach, and instantly colorful colors appeared in front of his eyes.

"Um?"

Wang Xiaoming's face showed a solemn look, and the red color representing the health of his limbs became extremely thin, which indicated that there was a problem with his motor system.

This reminded him that later in the novel, he was paralyzed in a wheelchair due to a terminal illness, which may have something to do with it.

Their family seems to have been cursed. Their parents died young, and his younger brother Wang Xiaoqiang will soon become terminally ill and be forced to become a ghost controller.

This led to his brother's continued resentment towards him, and his lack of discipline towards Wang Xiaoqiang, which indirectly led to a series of subsequent tragedies.

Counting time now, Wang Xiaoqiang's terminal illness will soon be diagnosed.

Turning off his spiritual vision, Wang Xiaoming took out his mobile phone, opened the phone book, and found the Wang Xiaoqiang phone page, but stopped just when he was about to press it.

Wang Xiaoming's expression became calm,

"Since it's a terminal illness, it doesn't matter if I knew it sooner or later. It won't make any difference. My choice makes him resentful, so let him make his own choice this time."

Wang Xiaoming, who has the memory of two lifetimes, has already changed his personality and will no longer dote on his younger brother. He decides to give his stupid younger brother an unforgettable experience.

Since you want to change the world, let’s start now!

Putting down his phone, Wang Xiaoming felt relieved. From now on, the world will be different.

As for his own physical problems, Wang Xiaoming felt that it was not a big problem. According to the memory of his past life, he still had about two years to live. By then, he would have become a demigod, so terminal illness would naturally not be a problem.

His current idea is to improve his sequence as soon as possible. Only in this way can he have the power to fight against supernatural beings and save the world.

The next step is the most important thing, entering the knowledge wilderness and checking the status of the knowledge wilderness. This step is necessary. Only by confirming that the knowledge wilderness is under his control can Wang Xiaoming's subsequent actions be meaningful.

The method of entering the Wilderness of Knowledge was obtained when he first saw the apparition of the Wilderness of Knowledge. The ritual was not complicated.

Wang Xiaoming took out four books from the bedroom, placed them in the four corners of the room, and then came to the middle of the room.

"The essence of knowledge, the source of mystery."

"The glory of civilization, the persistence of truth."

Every time he read a sentence, Wang Xiaoming took a step forward, until he took the fourth step, Wang Xiaoming suddenly felt his body lighten, as if he had stepped into space.

The whole person floated up, and Wang Xiaoming only saw himself surrounded by endless white light.

Suddenly, he heard mumbling in his ears, and countless information emerged in his mind, just like a 1982 computer running Genshin Impact high-definition. Even if his head was smoking, he couldn't process so much information.

Fortunately, the information disappeared soon, and Wang Xiaoming realized that he had arrived in the wilderness of knowledge. The white light he had just experienced was like a dream.

"It seems that this is the pollution of the wilderness of knowledge." Wang Xiaoming thought in his heart.

The essence of the wilderness of knowledge is an information body composed of the mystery of knowledge. Everything here is illusory, and everything is real. Every leaf and every grain of sand here contains a lot of information.

With a thought, the surrounding environment changed rapidly. He came to the black tower and looked up, but he could not see the end.

Wang Xiaoming walked into the black tower and saw that it was empty inside, filled with countless white gauze. They looked like light and gas, and they would dissipate like smoke when he touched them.

After coming here, Wang Xiaoming instantly realized the connection between him and the tower, and inexplicably learned some information. This black tower was the core of the wilderness of knowledge and the magic potions of the path of the generalist and the secret voyeur.

As the rules of the game, every time he contained a magic potion and obtained a gift, he could gain part of the control of the wilderness of knowledge.

When he became a true god, he could try to contain the wilderness of knowledge and be promoted to the old days.

And because this is not the world where the original creator is, the world isolates part of the influence of the original creator, which indirectly makes it easier to digest the magic potion. Although the divinity and madness left by the original creator are still there, He will never revive.

This makes Wang Xiaoming's journey to become the old days relatively easy.

Until this time, Wang Xiaoming had been smiling on his tense face, because there were too many old silver coins in the mysterious world. He had always been afraid that the knowledge wilderness was alive and he was just a puppet in front of the stage. Now he was finally relieved.

Then he waved his hand casually, and the black tower transformed by the origin disappeared. Wang Xiaoming hid the origin and would only appear when he was promoted.

Then buildings began to emerge where the tower disappeared. The earth was like being arched by a giant beast, and high-rise buildings rose from the ground and continued to spread around. After a while, an empty and deserted Dajing City appeared in the knowledge wilderness.

The essence of the knowledge wilderness is an information material collection. Wang Xiaoming, who has some authority, can simply control it here. Everything here can be changed at will, and Wang Xiaoming does not need to consume excess energy. He only needs to pay to maintain his spirituality here.

Looking at the newly-launched Dajing City, Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but feel childish. He kept teleporting in Dajing City, appearing on the high-rise building and in the river.

Wang Xiaoming did not leave the Wilderness of Knowledge until he felt a pain in his brow.

In the real world, in the dormitory.

The characters in the books in the four corners of the room turned into twisted runes, which gathered together to form a rune in the shape of an eye and fell on Wang Xiaoming's wrist.

The books in the corners turned into a wordless book.

Wang Xiaoming was not surprised to see this scene. Just like Klein in the mystery, he would not need to arrange the ceremony again when he entered the Wilderness of Knowledge in the future.

After putting several wordless books back on the bookshelf in the bedroom, Wang Xiaoming rubbed his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth. He gained a lot from this trip to the Wilderness of Knowledge. Not only did he completely confirm his control over the Wilderness of Knowledge, but he also learned that the original creator could not be resurrected.

Now he only needs to face the problem of digesting the potion, which is simply giving food to his mouth.

After recovering for a while, Wang Xiaoming recalled the memory of making the identification spell. This was the first time he encountered the knowledge obtained by knowledge.

The spell is a major feature of the mysterious world, and it is almost a necessity for the Seven Gods Church in battle. This makes their methods varied and can deal with a variety of scenarios.

Unlike the spells in the immortal cultivation novels, the spells in the mysterious world are produced by low-sequence extraordinary people praying to high-sequence beings to send down power.

When you reach the middle sequence, you can also pray to yourself through rituals. This is a technique for extraordinary people to mobilize spirituality and use extraordinary power.

However, because the world is different, there are no other high-sequence extraordinary people here, so Wang Xiaoming can only pray to himself.

He plans to use the knowledge obtained from the secret peeper to arrange the mysterious ceremony, pray to his part of the authority in the knowledge wilderness, and finally respond with the original authority.

However, before that, he needs to design a three-part honorific name for himself. The role of the honorific name is to better point to himself in the knowledge wilderness in the ceremony.

The prayer ceremony without a specific honorific name is likely to be sensed by the evil god and send down power, which is very dangerous for extraordinary people.

Many tragedies in the mysterious world are caused by the evil god, so it is still necessary to design a honorific name.

Not long after, based on the mysterious knowledge in his mind and some plots in the mysterious novel, Wang Xiaoming quickly designed the honorific name and the utensils used in the ceremony using the draft.

He first took out some utensils prepared by the gold-rimmed glasses to make the body of the talisman. Fortunately, the prepared metal types were rich, and it didn't take long for him to make six rough bronze metal pieces.

Then, according to the ritual knowledge in his mind, Wang Xiaoming arranged the ceremony on the coffee table in the living room, and took out a bag of lavender dried flowers from the bedroom, which he usually used to soothe and help sleep.

He opened the sachet, crushed some of the dried flowers and sprinkled them on the candle, replacing the floral essential oil.

He used a silver knife to guide the spirituality to arrange the spiritual wall, and finally read out the three-part honorific name he had just designed:

"The extraordinary person who does not belong to this era;"

"You are the mysterious master on the tower;"

"You are the perfect king who peeks into the truth."

"I pray to you;"

"Pray for you to give me strength;"

"Give me the power to make identification spells!"

As the owner of some authority over the wilderness of knowledge, Wang Xiaoming soon got feedback. There was a buzzing sound in his ears, as if someone was talking, but it was a little intermittent, as if the signal was not good.

Wang Xiaoming took four steps forward, silently chanting a spell with each step, and returned to the wilderness.

Following the sound, his eyes penetrated through the barriers and saw himself in the dormitory, and then used the origin he mastered to respond.

In the real world, the six bronze sheets on the ritual coffee table changed, emitting white light, and it seemed that unknown energy was poured into the void.

As time passed, three of the sheets began to crack, and the white light disappeared when the cracks appeared. In the end, only three talismans were made.

After returning to the real world, Wang Xiaoming felt a little sleepy. Although he consumed the power of the knowledge wilderness, as an operator, his sequence was too low, and he still lost a lot of spirituality.

There is also the differentiation of the world. The world of the Lord of Mystery was created by the original creator. All things in the world retain the power of the creator, and the underlying rules serve the extraordinary power.

But this world does not have the power of the original creator, nor the spirit world and the star world, and it is a bit unsuitable.

Originally, he wanted to make more talismans, but he didn't expect that because of the differences in the world, the talismans failed half.

However, these problems were not something he could solve at the moment, so Wang Xiaoming did not worry too much. He looked at the three identification talismans on the coffee table. These were talismans made from the ability of a craftsman, a sequence seven appraiser, and could identify extraordinary items.

It was just that his sequence was too low, the power granted was too little, and it was the first time he operated it, so the power of the talisman could only last for a week, after which the power on the talisman would gradually fade until it could no longer be used.

Carefully putting away the talisman, and then cleaning up the coffee table, Wang Xiaoming, who was a little tired, went back to the bedroom to rest.
