Chapter 636 The Secret of the Stone Tablet
Suren looked at the contents of the notes and confirmed that he had entered the sealed space and seen some incredible existence.
However, the notes didn't leave anything behind.
Even after deciphering, there were only these few lines.
So, he saw nothing of value?
The expression on Mister Mirror's face was also a bit strange, slightly surprised, "You've seen 'Truth'?"
Suren's lips twitched slightly, uncertain, "Probably... yes?"
He didn't know how to describe his current mood.
The good news was that he might have witnessed the ultimate secret of the alchemy field—Truth.
But the bad news was that he had no memory of it at all.
Mister Mirror looked at Suren again, "You still don't remember anything?"
Suren nodded helplessly, "Yeah."
If that's the case, did he go for nothing?
He almost died.
But judging from the contents of the notes, he was very excited, even feeling that it was worth sacrificing his life to glimpse Truth.
Obviously, Suren felt that he left these notes for a reason.
He felt that he must have left some clues, and thought to himself, "So it seems that the underground sealed world really has a mysterious power to prevent me from bringing out what I saw..."
Mister Mirror frowned and analyzed, "I once heard my father mention a possibility. He speculated that some supreme beings in the universe have imposed a 'cognitive restriction' on lower life forms, so that even when humans see things beyond their cognitive range, their brains and consciousness will ignore and forget their existence. That is a field that only gods can set foot in, a taboo for mortals..."
Suren nodded as he listened, knowing about this theory.
Because Isaac's fourth notebook expressed a similar view. And the Mechanical Alchemist [Isaac the Blasphemer] was created to solve the problem of human cognitive constraints.
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind...
Suddenly, Suren thought of something. That's right, the garbled text in the five notebooks!
In the notes he wrote himself, he deciphered the ultimate secret of the five notebooks.
His eyes turned, and he already had an idea in his head. He turned to Mister Mirror and said, "Senior sister, I may have found the key to the problem, it's on that stele!"
Mister Mirror's bright eyes flickered, "Oh?"
Suren couldn't wait to unlock the secret, "I want to go take a look."
As soon as these words came out, Lolota, who was listening in a daze, immediately said, "But Mister Suren, your body?"
Suren got up with difficulty, a smile squeezed out on his face, "It's not a big problem."
The injury was no longer life-threatening, and recovery was only a matter of time.
Compared to the pain in his body, he was more eager to know what the ultimate secret Sir Isaac left behind was.
......
Suren was now struggling even to lift his hand, so naturally he couldn't walk.
In the end, he sat in a mechanical wheelchair, pushed out the door by Lolota.
The group went all the way to the deck, and when the Dawn members saw Suren alive, the entire Evernight was in an uproar.
"Look... it's Mister Suren!" "Mister Suren is okay!"
"Hahaha... I said Mister Suren would be safe."
"... "
Before, everyone watched Suren fall out of the spatial rift covered in blood and on the verge of death. They had been trying to rescue him for seven days without any news, and everyone was worried sick.
Now that they saw him come out, although he was in a wheelchair, the big stone hanging in everyone's heart finally fell.
Tani, Tatu, Karma, Aberke, Tatu... The younger generation of members immediately flocked over, asking questions all at once. Many people's eyes sparkled with tears.
Even Mister Black, Number Nineteen, Barrett and other high-level combatants all showed relieved expressions on their faces.
Seeing that the mainstay of Dawn hadn't fallen, nothing was more gratifying than this news.
Suren was surrounded by everyone, looking at the faces that were crying with joy, and smiled with relief.
He had long lost his fear of death, but found that everyone seemed to care more than he did. This feeling of being cared for was quite good.
At this time, Yuta also rushed over. She was still holding a bag of herbs that hadn't been prepared, and her tired face couldn't hide her surprise, "Suren, you're awake?"
Mister Mirror said, "These few days you were injured, it was thanks to Elder Yuta sparing no divine power to save your life. Otherwise, relying on Doctor Banks and I alone would not have been enough."
Suren looked at Yuta, who was full of worry, his eyebrows twitching slightly, "Thank you for your hard work, Yuta."
Yuta smiled gently, stroking a strand of silver hair beside her temple, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had a thousand words to say in her heart, but at this moment she simply said, "It's good that you're okay."
Suren raised his hand and gently caressed her restless hand, smiling brightly.
He didn't say much.
Suren exchanged a few words with the crowd, then got off the ship and landed on the deserted island.
Only he and Mister Mirror were there.
......
Not everyone can see the stele left by Sir Isaac, nor is everyone qualified to see it, otherwise their lives might be in danger.
Suren had previously gone to the seal and saw that ultimate secret, and was both seriously injured and suffered amnesia. This was still because he now possessed the top-level strength of the alchemy plane.
If it were someone else, their consciousness might have collapsed long ago.
Mister Mirror pushed the wheelchair, and the two came to the stele.
Suren saw the stele again and understood everything, sighing, "No wonder... Grandmaster actually thought of using this method to record the secret, it's really ingenious."
He had some doubts when he first discovered this stele.
If the [Blasphemer] was only used to provide a continuous supply of energy to the seal, and to leave messages to his two daughters, there was no need for such high "intelligence".
The rank of this Mechanical Alchemist was very high.
It gave people the feeling that it was being used for something insignificant.
So Suren guessed that the stele might have other uses, but he never understood it.
Now he completely understood.
The function of this [Blasphemer] was actually a decoder!
Sir Isaac used this Mechanical Alchemist, plus a thousand years of time, to decipher the "ultimate secret of alchemy."
......
The reason why "super-order cognition" is not understood by lower life forms is because it inherently has a cognitive threshold.
Even if Sir Isaac discovered some great secret, he recorded it, but later generations would not be able to understand it.
Just like the advanced text of the Dragon language.
The reason why humans can't understand it is not because of the difference in intelligence, but because of the limitations of the level of life.
Dragon language contains complex laws of heaven and earth, which is the domain that at least ninth-order professionals can touch.
It's like a frog at the bottom of a well. If it can't jump out of the well, even if someone uses language to describe the vastness of the outside world, it won't be able to understand.
And the key is that those standing at the wellhead are "gods".
Higher creatures will never describe how the upper world is to humans, who are lower creatures.
Especially for the alchemy civilization whose inheritance has been cut off and no longer has a divine order, the scenery above the wellhead is almost unknown.
Moreover, all the signs indicate that the "wellhead" of the alchemy plane has been specially sealed by some higher beings, and a lid has been put on it.
Cutting off the chance to become a god.
Now that they have finally found some treasures left over from ancient times, it is naturally impossible to let them continue to be buried in the dust.
And Sir Isaac thought of this method.
He used the powerful computing power of the Mechanical Alchemist [Blasphemer] to decipher that "ultimate secret."
He was not afraid that the world above the wellhead was too complicated to express in language, but that there was no way to understand it at all.
Now, after a thousand years, some secrets have been deciphered, all of which are on this stele.
......
When Mister Mirror heard Suren's explanation, his face was full of shock, and he murmured to himself, "I should have thought of it long ago. Father must have left hope for the alchemy civilization..."
Suren listened and agreed very much.
He was also filled with emotion for that Grandmaster he had never met. He truly deserved to be called an alchemy demigod.
He didn't feel anything before, but now that he was standing higher and higher, the sense of responsibility became stronger and stronger.
He didn't think much, raised his hand and outlined something in the void.
Suren had the notebook of the [Blasphemer] in his hand, and he was very clear about the principle of this Mechanical Alchemist, and his fingertips outlined one "garbled symbol" after another.
A magical scene unfolded. The garbled text was like a password to a safe. As he wrote one in a specific position, the mark of that garbled text lit up on the stele.
While deciphering, he was also filled with emotion.
The brilliance of Sir Isaac's method was that it was not only encrypted, but even if someone who did not have the five notebooks discovered that there was something hidden in this stele, they would not be able to know the secret inside the stele.
But wanting to collect all five notebooks, one could hardly avoid Mister Mirror.
Multiple safeguards ensured that this secret would not be leaked to existences outside the alchemy civilization.
Before long, Suren entered all the strings of garbled text left in the five notebooks. At this time, the stele gradually lit up with light.
The Mister Mirror beside him watched intently, and the expectation in his eyes could not be concealed.
At this moment, words reappeared on the stele.
"Ophelia, I am very gratified that you can see this content, which means that you are qualified to touch these secrets."
"It's not that I'm deliberately mystifying and not telling this secret directly. It's that what I understand and what you need are different. The Emerald Tablet records the ultimate secrets of alchemy, and everyone sees and recognizes something different."
"Furthermore, without reaching that height, contacting these secrets too early is not a good thing for you, but harmful. It's even harmful to the entire alchemy civilization. Everything must start from the source of this burial ground of the gods..."
"I have deduced a series of causes and effects in fate. When the civilization collapsed, countless powerful enemies coveted the alchemy plane. A powerful alchemist hid a fragment of the alchemy plane and left countless treasures, which is our current alchemy plane. But even if Dawn collapses, countless powerful enemies are still coveting the fruits of the alchemy civilization. That great power did not want to cut off the alchemy civilization, and in order to hide this treasure, it could only be hidden in the deepest place. It cannot be perceived by people, cannot be remembered by people, and is extremely dangerous... Only in this way can it be preserved. Waiting for someone who is qualified to touch this secret to appear."
"That's right, this burial ground of the gods is the treasure that the ancestors of the Dawn era left for civilization, and alchemy is the path to the divine order!"
"[...]"
Suren and Mister Mirror looked at each other when they saw the words on the stele.
Only then did they realize that this burial ground of the gods was actually a treasure deliberately left by ancient great alchemists.
Moreover, the reason why Suren had amnesia before was actually to ensure that the secret was not leaked.
Looking further down, there were still a few lines of words on the stele.
"I discovered this secret. But the Emerald Tablet is a treasure pointing to the Truth, and it is difficult for humans to understand. Even with my current realm, I can only glimpse some fur. This secret has existed for countless years, and I know that if this secret is buried again, it may not be deciphered for countless years in the future. And the abyss plane channel of Old London has signs of collapse, and some other space channels are also gradually having problems as time goes by. A little carelessness is a disaster that destroys civilization, and the time left for our alchemy plane is running out."
"Therefore, I used a clever method, which is [Blasphemer]. Using computing power and time to solve and describe those 'indescribable' existences, to give some help to the existing alchemy civilization..."
"And if you can decipher the clues I left in the notebook, then you should know my intention. Take good care of the content deciphered on the stele, it can guide you in the future direction. Praise the original creator."
"[...]"
Suren's expression was very solemn when he saw this.
The Mister Mirror beside him was also the same.
Seeing the content on the stele, they realized that they had come into contact with a huge secret.
This secret was so big that it even made people feel that it took great courage to touch it.
Now they had obtained the key to open the vault, and the things inside were treasures, but also a terrible monster.
Perhaps it would make people breathless.
Suren glanced at his senior sister and asked, "Senior sister?"
Mister Mirror pondered for a moment, then nodded solemnly, "Yes."
The situation of the alchemy plane was indeed not something that could wait.
Even if there were risks, it wouldn't be worse.
Suren's eyebrows raised as he listened, and naturally he meant the same thing.
After death no longer made people afraid, only expectations remained for the unknown.
Without hesitation, he concentrated his power and shouted softly, "Unlock!"
As soon as the voice fell, the luster that lit up on the stele suddenly rotated, slowly condensing into a black hole vortex.
Looking intently, the vortex was infinitely deep, as if it allowed people to see the deep world of the starry sky at a glance.
On the small stele, there seemed to be a mysterious world of knowledge creation hidden.
That world seemed to have a magical power, attracting people's eyes deeper and deeper.
Suren's eyes shone brightly, and a string of dense content like data codes appeared in front of him.
The [Blasphemer] complicated those indescribable knowledge layer by layer, so that it became to the extent that it could be understood by humans.
But correspondingly, it had been complicated countless times, and the content had become extremely bloated.
Just with this one glance, he could see that the amount of knowledge contained on the stele was really terrifying.
The amount was so large that it was simply impossible for human cognition to completely digest it.
Suren estimated that even with his fast reading speed, it would probably take 100 million years to finish reading it completely?
And this was only a small part of the content deciphered by the [Blasphemer]. The real Emerald Tablet was still in that mysterious space under the seal.
"That's really exaggerated..."
Suren glanced at it, and this feeling was very familiar.
It was like when he used the All-Knowing Eye to look at some high-level existence, too many things suddenly poured into his brain, and he felt a little indigestion.
Moreover, this stele was not only an explanation for a certain existence, but it was all-encompassing, nothing was missing!
It was like opening an original database about the creation of the world.
Everyone needed different data, and could only specifically search for what they needed.
The Mister Mirror beside him was also attracted into the vortex.
After watching for a while, the look in her eyes became stronger and stronger, and she murmured, "I seem to see the mystery of the 'Myriad Manifestations Rules'..."
When Suren heard this, he also turned his head and glanced, "Hey?"
He knew that his senior sister had been troubled at the ninth order for a long time.
After all, wanting to comprehend the "rules" and step into the demigod realm required more than just talent. What was needed more was a lack of direction.
At the height she was standing, no one in the entire plane could give her any professional advancement experience.
The road ahead was full of fog, and everything could only be explored by herself.
This stele left by Sir Isaac was like a suddenly lit lamp, allowing her to find the direction.
Mister Mirror's pupils were slightly scattered, and she whispered to herself: "The mirror image has its advantages in being able to simulate everything, but it also has its shortcomings. When I look at the objects in the mirror, I can only see the appearance that I can see. And the world after the mirror image is unknown and emptiness to me. Humans perceive the world through the five senses, and are also limited by the five senses. When you stand at a high enough height, you will find that what you can see and touch is only the superficial projection of the world..."
Suren listened thoughtfully.
But he was also surprised, "You have figured out the usage of this stele so quickly?"
After a pause, Mister Mirror said again, "Suren, think about what you need in your mind, and this stele can guide you to find those secrets hidden in the universe."
"Okay."
Hearing this, Suren also turned his gaze to the stele. What did he need? He needed a lot.
His understanding of the laws had already touched above the ninth order, and his understanding of the rules was also equally urgent.
There were also things about death, about the universe, about ninth-order advancement...
As he looked over, it was as if he had opened a window to a new world, and some unprecedented knowledge poured into his mind: "The world was originally primal, and all things are differentiated from the primal... In this way, you can obtain the glory of the world and stay away from the darkness... The world is created in this way, and by this you can reach the truth..."
......
Comprehension is a very long process.
Even with a treasure like the stele.
Suren and Mister Mirror stayed on the deserted island.
They didn't tell the others in the Dawn group about the situation here. After all, this secret was related to the rise and fall of civilization, and it must not be leaked. And at present, only a few people were qualified to come into contact with this secret.
Suren, Mister Mirror, Potala and Pestoya were the only four whose cognitive level had reached above the ninth order.
And Mister Black, because he drank from the Mimir Well, also possessed wisdom far beyond the same order.
But after watching for a few days, he also had a little "indigestion" because his level was not high enough, and he returned to the ship to recuperate.
In this way, nearly a month passed again.
Because the environment had a super high probability of causing malformations, the Dawn group had left this space, leaving only a small number of people and a large number of machines to mine activated silver ore nearby.
Suren and Mister Mirror and others had been staying on the deserted island, comprehending the secrets of the stele.
The more they studied, the more they realized their own insignificance.
In the face of knowledge, humans are really ignorant.
Every day spent here brought great gains.
Originally, according to the plan, they would stay here until their bodies could no longer bear it.
But until this day, an unexpected situation occurred.
Sabina, the intelligence leader of the London Mirror Organization, suddenly sent an urgent intelligence report that a demigod powerhouse from the Celestial God plane had attacked London, causing huge casualties in a short period of time.
The magicians from the Celestial God plane had launched a full-scale war!
