Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 191 The Grandmaster’s Invitation

The central world of the All Spirit Realm, the capital of the Yggdrasil Federation, the Garden of Life, is where the World Tree is located.

The current World Tree is still in the seedling stage and has not yet officially entered the growth stage.

It does not have the ability to absorb nutrients directly from the void, nor can it derive many independent worlds based on leaves.

It also needs to rely on the material plane to grow better.

Even so, when the true appearance of the World Tree is revealed to the world, it can still cause people to be shocked from the bottom of their hearts.

It was a behemoth that far exceeded the imagination and understanding of ordinary people. Each of its branches and leaves extended to an extremely exaggerated scale, making it difficult for ordinary people to get a glimpse of its full picture.

Rather than being an extremely huge tree, it is more like a complete world that exists inside the central world.

The entire Garden of Life is divided into two parts. One is the vast area near the roots of the World Tree, where tens of billions of citizens of the Yggdrasil Federation live.

The other is the main body of the World Tree, where billions of residents also live, and it is also the absolute center of the entire World Tree civilization.

Thoraus and Alvin, who came to the Garden of Life, did not stay near the roots of the World Tree, but directly entered the internal space of the World Tree.

Alvin's teacher is a grandmaster in the soul realm of the World Tree Civilization.

After he brought such good news to Solaus this time, Solaus came to the Court of Life with him without any hesitation.

As a top scholar with level six authority in the library, he is also one of the top leaders of the World Tree Civilization.

To Solaus, Alvin's teacher is a legendary figure with whom he cannot have any contact under normal circumstances.

This time he showed obvious interest in Solaus and wanted to meet him.

For Solaus, this is also a very rare opportunity.

Being able to come into contact with such a big shot has only benefits for him and no disadvantages.

It is difficult to achieve any significant results by simply working in isolation. Even though I can communicate with Alvin now, Alvin is not a scholar who is good at guiding teaching.

When communicating with Alvin, Solaus actually didn't gain much.

But Alvin's teacher is different. Solaus heard that Alvin's teacher has a very high status in the soul field of the entire All Souls Alliance.

Countless senior and even top scholars in the spiritual field are his students, and it can be said that his students are all over the world.

Such a top scholar not only possesses extremely profound knowledge, but also has top-notch teaching methods.

If he could learn from him, Solaus' future development might be completely different.

Alvin also spoke at this time: "The teacher has many students, but there are not many who can truly follow him and learn from him."

"I only studied with the teacher for a while, but then I couldn't adapt to the research pace of the teacher, so I had no choice but to leave."

"In terms of status, I can only be considered the teacher's registered disciple."

"Compared to the teacher's other registered disciples, my achievements can barely be ranked in the upper middle level."

"But compared to those direct disciples, there is still a clear gap."

"The teacher's direct disciples all have at least level four access to the library, and are masters of the soul realm."

"There are even quite a few top scholars with Level 5 authority. They are all powerful figures who are qualified to establish their own schools of thought."

Speaking of this, Alvin's expression was also a little emotional.

When he first followed his teacher, he thought that he might become a master-level leader, or at the very least a master in the soul realm.

But the truth is very cruel.

He was unable to adapt to the research pace of his teacher. It was not because he did not work hard enough or did not have enough resources to support him, but simply because he lacked talent.

There is no point in staying there reluctantly, except to add unbearable pressure to yourself.

So after thinking it through, Alvin took the initiative to leave his teacher's laboratory and chose to conduct his own research.

If it weren't for Solaus this time, Alvin would not have taken the initiative to contact the teacher, and at most would have just sent a greeting on some important days.

When Alvin originally headed to the dark land, he didn't have too many thoughts. He just wanted to relax and unwind.

Compared with the research on the People of No Light, even many great masters in the spiritual field, including his teacher, have not been able to achieve any breakthrough results.

If he had the ability to achieve any breakthrough results, he would not be unable to adapt to the research pace of his teacher's research institute.

What he didn't expect was that there was indeed no breakthrough result, but he just happened to meet a breakthrough talent.

"What level of clearance does your teacher have in the library?"

Solaus asked curiously at this time.

"Teacher, you are the only scholar in our Yggdrasil Federation who possesses level six authority in the soul realm."

At this point, Alvin's face showed undisguised admiration.

"Levels two to four can be upgraded through assessment or by spending Wanling coins."

"But starting from level five, upgrading your permissions will become much more demanding."

"It's no longer a problem that can be solved solely by personal talent or financial resources."

"Instead, you need to have made sufficient contributions in the corresponding field, or even promoted the development of the entire field, to be eligible for higher authority."

“For this reason, more senior scholars are more keen to communicate and learn with other scholars, because this is also one of the ways to promote the development of the entire field.”

"This is also one of the reasons why teachers bring so many students to conduct research and teach them attentively."

Hearing this, Solaus's face was also a little surprised.

"A figure at the Grandmaster level in the Soul Realm who has trained countless high-level scholars and a large number of top scholars, actually only has Level 6 authority in the library?"

"Then what kind of person is a scholar with level 7 library authority?"

Alvin shook his head: "In the entire library of the All-Spirit Alliance, there is currently no knowledge related to the soul realm that involves the seventh level of authority."

"Level six authority is already the highest authority in the soul realm."

"After all, the soul realm is relatively unpopular in the material world, and the knowledge in the library doesn't contain the top-secret information hidden in the deepest of major civilizations."

"Therefore, scholars in the soul field can only have a level 6 clearance at most in the library, which is not comparable to those in more popular fields."

Thoraus nodded: "So that's how it is..."

"Okay, we're here."

After arriving at the Garden of Life and several rounds of teleportation, Thoraus and Alvin arrived at their destination, an area inside the crown of the World Tree.

"This is the address of the teacher's research institute. We can just go directly to find the teacher later." "The teacher contacted me before and said he would arrange for someone to pick us up."

Alvin had just finished saying this when a voice came again.

"Junior Brother Alvin, long time no see."

Hearing this voice, a smile quickly appeared on Alvin's face: "Brother Reid, long time no see."

"Solaus, let me introduce you. This is my senior brother Reid, a senior scholar in the Soul Realm. He also has the corresponding Level 4 clearance in the library."

After seeing Ryder, the smile on Alvin's face basically never disappeared.

A senior scholar with level four authority came in person, which showed that his teacher attached great importance to Solaus.

And before Alvin left his teacher's institute, he and Reid had the best relationship.

They had known each other for thousands of years as early as their place of origin.

After leaving the institute, the two had not seen each other for hundreds of years.

Even for elves, this can be said to be a long time since we last saw each other.

Solaus also nodded at this time: "Hello."

"This is the Lightless People you and the teacher mentioned earlier, right? This person's temperament is indeed exactly the same as that of the Lightless People."

Reid looked at the expressionless Thoraus without any displeasure, still smiling.

"Let's go. The teacher is also very interested in this special person without light."

"We have even postponed some experiments so that we can see you as soon as possible."

Under Reid's leadership, the group quickly arrived at their teacher's research institute.

"Hello, my name is Ise."

Just after entering the research institute and before I had time to go deeper to meet Alvin's teacher, a voice came over.

Thoraus looked closely and saw an elf who was obviously not yet an adult. He had come to a place not far from him and was looking at him calmly.

Before he could react, Alvin and Reid's expressions changed, and then they bowed and said, "Teacher."

Reid continued, "Teacher, don't you have a small experiment to conduct? Why did you come here in person?"

The underage elf, whom Alvin and Reid called "Teacher," said, "The experiment was simple and went smoothly. It ended early."

After saying that, he looked at Thoraus again, as if wanting to get his response.

Thoraus could only nod: "Hello, I'm Thoraus."

Isser smiled and said, "They are indeed the people without light."

"I can see the huge hole in your soul and the immense pain you suffer constantly."

"While enduring the pain of having your soul torn apart, you can still concentrate your mental will more than an ordinary person. You are quite impressive."

"Alvin told me everything about you."

"In addition to confirming your identity as a Lightless Person, I'm meeting with you today for another purpose."

"Are you willing to stay at the institute and study? I will provide you with all the resources you need to grow and train you to the greatest extent possible."

After hearing this, before Thoraus could say anything, Alvin and Reid showed surprised expressions on their faces.

Of course, Iser is not an underage elf. As a grand master in the realm of soul, the physical body is just a carrier of the soul for Iser, a kind of prop for walking in the material world.

It is difficult to determine Iser's true age. Even for the elves with a long lifespan, Iser is like a living fossil.

He took the initiative to invite Solaus and offered to provide him with all the resources he needed for growth. The value of this was extremely high.

Even Reid, the direct disciple, did not enjoy such treatment.

As a grandmaster-level figure in the soul realm of the All Souls Alliance, a legendary transcendent in the soul system, and one of the top leaders of the World Tree Civilization.

If he could gain Iser's favor, Thoraus would immediately go from being an ignored lightless person to a hot new star in the entire Alliance of All Spirits.

Alvin and Reid both knew that Isher was very interested in Thoraus, an outlier among the Lightless People.

Otherwise, some experiments would not be postponed and we would meet him as soon as possible.

They were mentally prepared that Solaus would become their junior fellow apprentice.

However, it was still beyond the expectations of both of them that Iser would show such enthusiasm towards Thoraus.

Faced with Iser's invitation, Thoraus agreed without any hesitation.

He had no reason to refuse the other party, as this was his main purpose for coming here.

A top-notch platform will undoubtedly enable him to grow better than working behind closed doors in a library.

Although the knowledge in the library is also comprehensive and profound, if you can fully master it, it will no longer matter if you cannot understand the hidden knowledge of major civilizations.

However, without professional guidance, it is somewhat unrealistic to expect to master all the knowledge about the library by self-study.

In his previous communication with Alvin, Thoraus could probably judge that his talent was among the top in the entire All-Spirit Alliance.

But it is only at the top level and has not yet reached a world-shattering height.

It is sheer wishful thinking to want to resolve the plight of the people without light by one's own efforts.

The olive branch extended by Iser was undoubtedly his best opportunity to gain knowledge and receive training.

"very good."

After receiving Thoraus's affirmative answer, Isher smiled with satisfaction.

A slight spatial fluctuation occurred, and an ancient scroll of unknown material appeared in Isser's hand.

"This is a research paper on the soul field. It belongs to the internal information of our Yggdrasil Federation and has not been made public."

"According to the library's standards, the extraordinary knowledge here also belongs to the knowledge that can be accessed by those with level 2 permissions."

"Go and master this information to a certain extent first, then come back to me."

"Based on the time it takes you to master this information and subsequent tests, I will be able to understand you better."

"This way I can develop a targeted training plan for you."
