1095: Chapter 1095: Phonograph (Large Chapter, Request for Monthly Tickets) 1095: Chapter 1095: Phonograph (Large Chapter, Request for Monthly Tickets) “In your world, there is an old saying, ‘Knowledge is power.'”
The man completely descended the wooden ladder and looked at He Ao, “You probably can’t understand how wonderful it is to be imrsed in learning and knowledge.”
I can understand.
Every ti I get corrupted by my best friends, my mind is full of ‘I love learning, praise knowledge.’
He Ao calmly watched the man in front of him.
The man in front of him looked broadly similar to the ‘youth’ in his dreams, only older.
Was what I just saw the mory of this ‘Rong Guang Society Chairman’?
Is he a remnant of the ruins?
Judging by the passage of ti sensed from Hao Yi, it seems my entry and reading of those mories were rely a montary thing.
And all this originated from a disturbance in ‘Super mory’.
Could so forces inside this ‘Obelisk’ affect Super mory?
While pondering, He Ao followed up on the man’s words, “Aren’t you from the sa world as us?”
He tried to place a mark on the man standing before him.
It worked, but he could only sense scattered, unclear thoughts tangled with large amounts of unconscious, mad ravings.
The man was not a real Angel, yet he seed to possess a status close to that of an Angel, and Angel-tier power.
“In terms of the universe, yes,”
The man sighed, folding up the wooden ladder at his feet, “but on a planetary scale, we are not from the sa world.”
He doesn’t know I just read his ‘mory’?
That previous sentence was a probe by He Ao, testing whether the peculiar ‘mory replay’ was related to the chairman.
But from his response, he doesn’t seem to be aware of it.
Is sothing else influencing ‘Super mory’?
Sothing even this ‘Rong Guang Society Chairman’ doesn’t know about.
He Ao’s thoughts deepened as he gazed at the man in front of him, and he seed to recall sothing, whispering, “You co from the ruins?”
“You’re very clever,”
The man chuckled lightly, sliding the folded ladder into a gap between the books on the nearby shelf.
He then straightened his black robe that resembled both a Wizard and a Scholar, “Allow to introduce myself; my na is ‘Ruoke En’, from the Federation.”
“Federation?”
He Ao raised an eyebrow.
“Federation, the ‘ruins’ as you call them,”
Ruoke En seed pleased with He Ao’s confusion, his fingers brushing over a nearby book as he continued, “You can imagine it as a community of the ruins’ civilization, or say a sort of ‘world governnt’ that manages the entire civilization of the ruins.”
“Are you a person from before the destruction of the ruins?
How did you survive till now?
What exactly did the ruins’ civilization go through?”
He Ao gazed sharply at Ruoke En, rapidly asking.
“These questions you ask, I too wish to know,”
Ruoke En seed to recall sothing, heaving a sigh, “I have no mory from before the destruction of the Federation.
When I awakened, the world was already a wasteland, and I was just a baby about a few months old.”
No mories from before the destruction?
Were those all his mories that I just saw?
“I have been searching for the cause of the Federation’s destruction,”
Ruoke En picked up a nearby book, speaking slowly, “but they are hidden in the mists of history, all divinations and historical probes touch that period of history.”
He glanced through the book in his hands, then put it back, “From the clues I currently have, the disaster must have occurred within a very short span of ti, causing many people to be completely swallowed by that terrible disaster before they could even react.”
He turned his head, looking towards He Ao,
“But I’ve also discovered that the Federation governnt seed not entirely ignorant about the coming disaster.
“They seed to have been preparing related plans before the disaster started, during which many higher-tier Transcendents also attempted to preserve the last embers of civilization,
“For example, the city we are in now is built upon the remains of three Angels who died fighting the disaster.”
Accompanying Ruoke En’s narration, several scenes suddenly flashed through He Ao’s mind.
Those were scenes of a much younger Ruoke En roaming through the crumbling ruins of a city structurally similar to the City of Rong Guang, activating machinery, and searching through docunts.
Most of the involved machinery was severely damaged, and most of the docunts he found were decayed, those that hadn’t decayed had almost all their printed text corrupted, with only a very few scattered readable words.
Besides the mories of searching in the ruined city, there were also a few brief mories of searching in so type of research facility.
Was that ruined city the original City of Rong Guang?
Was it how Ruoke En first found these three Angel remains?
Those research facilities seed like they were for studying ruins, one of which was where Ruoke En ‘lived’, the rest He Ao had never seen.
And in all these mories, Ruoke En looked like he was in his youth or later.
Did Ruoke En return to the ruins after going to the Main World?
And more than once?
Why would these mory scenes appear?
Did they automatically recall in his mind as Ruoke En just ntioned, transferred over by the power of Super mory?
But isn’t this too realistically detailed?
Super mory normally can’t even grasp the gist of thoughts.
And even Ruoke En himself might not be able to recall such detailed content.
Is it because Ruoke En ntioned related content, triggering that connection with Super mory and Mysticism again?
Suppressing his thoughts, He Ao looked at Ruoke En, turned his head, glanced at the surrounding bookshelves, and continued to ask, “You seem to know a lot about the real world?
Have you been to the real world?”
“I spent quite a long ti in your world,”
Ruoke En smiled.
He did not ntion how he got there but comnted, “Your civilization has advanced to a very sophisticated level, honestly, I had a great ti there.”
“You can also travel between reality and ruins through the ruins’ passage?”
He Ao pondered and said, “And you know how to find where the passages are?”
Hearing his words, Ruoke En was slightly startled, then smiled again, “You are very perceptive.”
Of course perceptive, searching for a formula with an answer.
As they spoke, new mory scenes erged in He Ao’s mind.
That was Ruoke En’s experience after leaving the ruins and arriving in the real world.
It seed to be in a town in the Western Lands.
He was initially surprised and confused, encountered a lot of ‘Deceive’, but also received a lot of ‘goodwill’.
However, relying on the Hermit’s Extraordinary Power and his own extensive hunting experience, he quickly found his footing in reality and learned the basic language.
It sounded like Trolok language.
The ravings in his mind did not disappear, but constantly echoed in his ears.
Yet, he could no longer feel the attraction that accompanied the ravings in a certain direction.
Until one day, during his travels, he suddenly felt the attraction.
He went to the place of attraction, which just happened to be a ruins passage.
Such a coincidence?
He Ao slightly startled.
He rembered that at the beginning, the frequency of the relic passages opening was very low, and the intervals between two openings were generally far apart.
Going on a trip once just happened to coincide with the opening of a relic passage.
Was it so sort of guidance connected to high-level mysticism?
Originating from the whispering in his ears?
Or due to his identity as a person of the relics?
Or both?
But still, it was quite a coincidence.
As thoughts churned in his mind, He Ao looked at Ruoke En, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding books, and he continued with a smile, “Was this mysticism knowledge born with you?
Or did you find it in the relics?”
“Although that’s a nice thought,”
Ruoke En once again casually picked up a book, flipped through it and said, “Unfortunately, there was nothing in the place I was born, and this knowledge does not co from the relics, nor from the real world,”
He looked up, his icy blue eyes filled with a particular kind of piety, “They co from ‘Divine Inspiration’.”
“Divine Inspiration?”
He Ao slightly startled.
He recalled what Tiger Cane had said, the president of the Rong Guang Society could hear the Oracle of ‘Destroyer K’.
In mysticism, both Oracle and Divine Inspiration signify guidance from the Divine.
However, Oracle tends to lean more towards commands, the ‘orders’ issued by the Divine.
Oracles are generally quite clear, and the high levels of the Church usually understand.
Of course, whether they go mad from it is another matter.
While Divine Inspiration leans towards enlightennts and revelations, Divine Beings give vague directions related to fate, letting believers guess; because it’s sufficiently vague and doesn’t involve the direct will of the Divine, the contamination is also not as strong as Divine Inspiration.
Sotis Divine Beings also grant so knowledge to believers, unveiling so essence of mysticism.
Such knowledge often offers hints, helping them choose their paths.
“Are all these books on mysticism from the ‘Destroyer K’ that you worship’s Divine Inspiration?”
He Ao stared at the surrounding books, asking doubtfully.
“Of course,”
Ruoke En firmly replied, “All of these are the rcy of ‘Destroyer K’, teaching us to enrich our strength with knowledge.”
······
He Ao silently looked at the books stacked high like a tower.
He himself didn’t know this much about mysticism.
At that mont, new mory scenes began to erge in his mind.
This scene seed to continue from that previous mory.
Ruoke En, through that ‘coincidental’ passage he encountered, entered into the relic.
Following the guidance of the ravings, he found a research facility.
This facility preserved so research materials, but most of them were in codes.
A part of the materials ntioned the Regicide along with two other Angels.
Following the sound of the ravings, at the lowest floor of the entire Research Institute, Ruoke En found a classic gramophone.
Then the next scene followed.
Ruoke En sat in a room styled like the Main World, as the gramophone started playing automatically without anyone controlling it.
With the rotation of the vinyl record, the twisted, overlapping voices, sounding as if countless people were screaming together, erged from the gramophone.
These voices, along with the visions in this mory, suddenly pierced into He Ao’s mind.
Nurous twisted, overlapping mysticism knowledge, accompanied by the violent contamination, surfaced in his consciousness.
And in that vision, Ruoke En, who also heard these voices, was losing control, collapsing to the ground with blood-red eyes, copying that knowledge onto paper.
Unable to withstand the knowledge pouring out of the gramophone, transferring the contaminated knowledge by copying down?
Vaguely, under the influence of the overflowing power of the Eye of Truth, He Ao sensed a special mysticism imprint forming along with the contaminated voices he heard.
But this imprint had just begun when those mory scenes ended.
He Ao looked up, gazing at the towering books around.
The music just now only transmitted a small portion of the knowledge, a dozen pages would have been enough to copy.
How many tis must Ruoke En have listened to that violent howl to accumulate so many books?
However, this ‘wave of knowledge’ felt a bit like the contamination when establishing a connection with a ‘good friend.’
But the knowledge from the good friend held a higher status, denser, almost incomprehensible.
The knowledge that ca out from the gramophone seed to be more basic mysticism knowledge, and the density was low, making it easier to understand.
Apart from the inherent violent contamination and the special mysticism imprint, there was nothing else wrong.
Intentional?
Really ‘Divine Inspiration’?
What exactly is that gramophone?
Does it truly co from so ‘Divine Being’, or a Higher Being?
This guy, when logging on, why does he like using other people’s avatars and nicknas?
As his thoughts reached this point, He Ao, listening to the music echoing around, suddenly paused.
He glanced downwards, untraceably taking a look at the gramophone beside Ruoke En that was still playing music.
Different from the one in his mory, it looked very new, just a simple ‘gramophone’?
“Do you also like listening to music?”
He Ao withdrew his gaze from the gramophone, asking calmly.
Seeing He Ao paying attention to the gramophone, Ruoke En appeared slightly surprised, then he smiled and said,
“The singer by the Wilen Lake, from the most famous musician Groseth in Trock history, I really enjoy this song, it makes feel as if my spirit and flesh are unified.
“Most of the ti, great artists possess superhuman inspiration; they are more likely to glimpse the reality of the world and encapsulate it through their works.
“If he lived in an era where Divine Beings were active, he could have created even more astonishing works.”
He might also see what he shouldn’t and explode right there.
Copy World has many similar cases and legends.
Artists and Historians are high-risk professions, especially those with Talent.
He Ao completely withdrew his gaze, raised his hand, and the Shadowless Sword hovered behind him, “Your ‘Destroyer K’ only revealed his na these past few days, doesn’t that seem suspicious to you?”
“Mind your words,”
Ruoke En’s expression cooled slightly, “Divine Beings cannot be spied upon or doubted.”
Then he paused, continuing, “Destroyer K was once a Divine Being of the relics, He revealed the ancient Angels’ corpses from the deep space, letting the ancient glory reerge, guiding us that the old world will eventually be destroyed, and a new world of glory is about to arrive.”
“Do you want to rebuild the civilization of the relics?
After destroying the real world?
Relying on your ‘Destroyer K’.”
He Ao faintly understood his words, chuckling softly.
This is the true essence of the Rong Guang Society’s ‘myth’.
Destruction is not destined, but those leading the destruction want it to be ‘destined.’
And with the conversation with Ruoke En, several ‘mory scenes’ also quickly flashed through He Ao’s mind.
