Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 190 Extraordinary Factor
The library's second-level authority assessment had a perfect score, which was nothing.

Even if you get full marks in less than two hours, it can only be considered excellent, not amazing.

The assessment teacher had personally witnessed some people in their early teens getting full marks in the library's second-level authority assessment in just a few dozen minutes.

Only such talents can be barely called geniuses in the Alliance of All Spirits.

And Solaus's identity column shows that he is already 30 years old this year.

A 30-year-old adult human passed the second-level authority assessment of the library's soul field and obtained full marks. There was nothing commendable about it.

But if you add the identity of a person without light, it will be completely different.

Anyone who knows anything about the People of No Light knows that their souls are born defective.

Normally, even concentrating his attention and thinking is a big problem. Only after taking the soul-soothing potion can he barely act like a normal person.

But he was just barely like a normal person, and it was still impossible for him to do whatever he wanted like a normal person.

Coupled with the lack of hope, their desires have been reduced to the extreme.

This resulted in hundreds of billions of people without light, and even trillions of people without light at the beginning.

In the past few decades, there has never been any special individual who can be called a genius.

Although Thoraus's performance could not be called a genius, he was a special person without light that the examiner had never seen before.

What's more, as a person without light, Thoraus certainly has not undergone any systematic learning.

The basic education of the People of No Light provided by the Alliance of All Spirits mainly focused on training them in some basic common sense, without any in-depth training.

In this situation, Thoraus, as a person without light, simply relies on the information in the library.

Being able to pass the library's second-level authority assessment in a nearly self-study manner is a completely different matter.

At this moment, the other candidates were still taking the exam, and the examiner's exclamation did not wake them up.

After calming down a bit, the examiner spoke again: "Your name is Thoraus, right? You are a person without light?"

"Yes."

Thoraus nodded expressionlessly.

The examiner did not pay attention to Thoraus's expression. After all, he was a person without light. It would be a bit outrageous if he behaved as enthusiastically as an ordinary person.

Based on Thoraus's temperament, the examiner was actually able to determine that he was indeed a person without light.

This kind of problem is unlikely to occur in the library's assessment system.

What's more, if you are a citizen of the Alliance of All Spirits, there is no need to pretend to be a person without light, as this is not a very popular identity.

He was just a little bit incredulous, so he opened his mouth to confirm it.

"As a citizen of the Darkness, it's quite remarkable that you were able to pass the library's second-level authority assessment."

"My name is Alvin. I'm a scholar specializing in the soul realm and have level three clearance in the library's soul realm."

"I am also one of the persons in charge of this dark place. If you have any difficulties in life or other matters, you can always come to me."

Alvin's expression was sincere, and he took the initiative to hand over his business card to Solaus.

Thoraus took the business card handed over, still expressionless: "Thank you."

Alvin didn't care about the other party's somewhat impolite behavior. It was too difficult for the people of darkness to show normal emotions to communicate.

"I'd like to ask, how many years have you been conducting research in the realm of the soul? Has anyone systematically taught you the relevant knowledge?"

This is what Alvin is most concerned about.

It would be incredible if a person without light could master so much knowledge through self-study.

The entire Alliance of All Spirits not only provides basic living security for these people without light.

There are also a large number of scholars who have been conducting research on the People of No Light, but there have been no groundbreaking results.

There is a key issue here, which is that the conditions of the people without light are basically the same, and the results obtained by any research institute are somewhat stereotyped.

Now they have finally met a special person without light, which may bring a new breakthrough to their research.

"I started studying the spiritual realm three years ago, but no one has ever taught me anything systematically."

Solaus did not hide anything and quickly told the truth about his situation.

At the beginning, he was still very unfamiliar with the entire knowledge of the soul field, and he only read some basic materials according to the recommendations of the library's intelligent system.

It was not until later that he developed some insights of his own into the realm of the soul and began to read various materials in a targeted manner.

In the past few months, he had almost mastered all the information that could be read with the first-level permission, and it would be difficult to gain any new understanding by reading further.

That's why he came here to take the second-level authority assessment.

"Amazing, really amazing..."

Alvin was full of admiration, and he did not doubt Thoraus.

After all, lying is also a painful thing for the people of the Darkness.

What's more, Thoraus has already passed the assessment with full marks, so there is no need to deliberately conceal anything in this regard.

"The current assessment is not over yet, so I won't talk to you for now."

"Anyway, add your contact information first, so I can find you when the time comes."

"We are also focused on the research of the soul field, and we can discuss and learn from each other when the time comes."

Solaus did not refuse.

He also knew that he was just a self-taught person, unlike scholars like Alvin who had received systematic training.

Communicating with each other will definitely bring him a lot of benefits, at least it can broaden his horizons.

Although the knowledge in the library is comprehensive, it is essentially a public communication platform formed by the major civilizations of the All-Spirit Alliance contributing some of their own information.

Information like this certainly won't involve the profound knowledge hidden deep within major civilizations.

If you want to know the most core information, you must gain the trust of major civilizations in order to achieve your goal.

The olive branch that Alvin took the initiative to extend to him might be his chance.

What's more, as a third-level scholar in the soul field, Alvin must have knowledge far beyond his current understanding.

A senior scholar like this might be able to resolve many of his doubts with just a few words.

Without staying in the examination room, Thoraus quickly returned to the library.

In less than two hours, he had finished the exam. He didn't feel tired at all and could continue studying in the library and rest when he got tired.

"Is your assessment over?"

Fia looked at Thoraus who had returned to the library with a look of surprise on her face.

She was not a half-elf who loved learning very much. The reason she stayed in the library like Thoraus was simply because she was the library administrator.

Although there are relevant intelligent systems inside the library of the All Spirits Alliance.

But some staff are still needed to maintain order and provide assistance to people who come to the library to study.

Thoraus nodded: "It has been passed."

Hearing this, Feiya smiled and said, "Congratulations, you can now read all relevant information about the second level of the soul realm."

Thoraus forced a smile on his face: "I can't wait any longer."

When reading secondary materials, you will not stay in the public area of ​​the library.

Because starting from the secondary information, it has already involved areas related to the extraordinary.

These materials all carry some special extraordinary factors, and both the readers and other people may be affected.

Therefore, when reading these advanced materials, you must also go to the corresponding secret room to read them.

And after reading, it must also be tested by the library's intelligent system.

Only after confirming that you have not been affected by the extraordinary factors can you leave the secret room.

After arriving at the secondary secret room of the library, Solaus input the information he wanted to read into the library's intelligent system.

Relevant information also appeared directly on the light screen.

This time, the information was no longer projected in front of Solaus in the form of simple text like before.

Instead, it formed a kind of physical volume, which required manual flipping through to see the subsequent content.

These volumes even have a tactile feel that is close to being real, which is the effect of the extraordinary factor simulated by the library's intelligent system.

When knowledge touches the realm of the extraordinary, it can no longer be expressed in simple words.

Instead, sufficient extraordinary factors are needed to preserve this knowledge in text or other forms.

As a special building, the library can simulate the effects of most extraordinary factors and thus replicate most extraordinary knowledge.

But simulating extraordinary factors will also consume a lot of resources, especially the trillions of citizens in the entire Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance.

Even if only a small number of citizens have the second-level authority to the library, they still need to consume a huge amount of information every moment to copy various kinds of extraordinary knowledge.

For this reason, the library has set up a special way to increase permissions by paying money, in order to fill some gaps in this regard.

However, as a talent who has passed the authority assessment, Solaus can read all the information for free without paying any fees.

Otherwise, he simply couldn't afford to pay so much money to help himself improve his authority.

The biggest difference between extraordinary knowledge and ordinary knowledge is the extraordinary factor contained therein.

This will not only easily affect the readers, but due to the existence of extraordinary factors, extraordinary knowledge will also be more difficult to understand than ordinary knowledge.

This is no longer a problem that can be solved by simple wisdom, but requires a good fit in the corresponding field so that the knowledge can be understood more easily.

Solaus didn't know what level of compatibility he had with the soul realm.

By the time he finished reading the first document in front of him, nearly eight hours had passed.

Compared with ordinary books that usually have more than 100,000 words or even more than 1 million words, this document has less than 10,000 words.

Even so, it took Solaus nearly eight hours to finish reading the document.

Normally, eight hours would be enough for him to read millions of words of information and form a clearer understanding.

But after barely finishing reading this document of less than 10,000 words, Solaus still did not form a clear concept of the knowledge recorded in this document.

I just have a vague feeling in my mind, but I still lack some understanding when I want to express and summarize it clearly.

Based on his previous reading experience, Solaus roughly estimated his progress.

It will probably take more than five readings to achieve a clearer understanding of this material.

This reading efficiency is thousands of times higher than before.

But Thoraus didn't care.

Compared to ordinary knowledge, extraordinary knowledge is a completely different field.

He has just entered this field, so it is normal that he finds it difficult to understand.

As he acquires more and more extraordinary knowledge, his corresponding comprehension ability will certainly become higher and higher. It is impossible for him to maintain such a reading efficiency all the time.

Without staying in the library, Solaus left the secret room after passing the intelligent system's test and confirming that he was not affected by the extraordinary factors.

"How does it feel."

Seeing Thoraus finally leave the secret room, Fia stepped forward and asked.

"not bad."

Thoraus nodded.

"Compared to ordinary knowledge, extraordinary knowledge is undoubtedly more difficult to understand."

"However, compared to ordinary knowledge, which basically remains at the surface level of understanding and concepts, extraordinary knowledge is much closer to the essence of many things."

“It helps me understand and grasp the essence of the soul, so that I can achieve my purpose.”

Feiya also nodded at this time and continued, "It's incredible. You may be the first person without light in our Wanling Realm to have level 2 authority."

"This is a miracle that has never been born. I believe you will not stop here."

Thoraus forced a smile again: "Thank you for your good wishes..."

In the years that followed, Solaus continued to study in the library.

But compared to before, he now has someone with whom he can discuss and learn.

With Alvin's help, Thoraus was also absorbing the extraordinary knowledge of the soul realm at an extremely fast speed to enrich his own foundation.

On this day, Alvin found Solaus again and brought him good news.

"I've told my teacher about your situation. He's very interested in you and wants to meet you."
