Chapter 1276: The Sublimation of Knowledge and Authority
In the sky above the City of Omniscience, billions of densely packed golden threads were entangled and floated towards the sky above the church dome, gathering at the top to supply the operation of the city. These golden threads sometimes entangled with each other, sometimes repelled each other, generating inspirations or insights, and then fell to the ground, forming countless walking torrents of knowledge on the ground.
This is knowledge! Knowledge from all of humanity! After the fall of the Guarani, this knowledge was drawn here by the City of All-Knowing.
What Zhou Ning needs to do now is to take control of the City of Omniscience and return 60% of the knowledge to mankind.
As for the question on the statue's base, "What is the meaning of knowledge? What does knowledge really mean?"
This question was the starting point of this power war. It was by asking this question that Guarani led Zhou Ning to the ancient city of Waters, leading him to a tragic situation where he was defeated repeatedly, lost everything, and was extorted.
Zhou Ning remembered his answer at the time:
“Knowledge is the most powerful force, the key to wisdom, and the sun in the sky.”
This answer was engraved on the base of the statue along with the answers of other wise men and was placed in the most conspicuous position.
There was a medium-sized groove at the base of the stone tablet, which vaguely resonated with the Book of Omniscience in his hand.
Zhou Ning walked step by step to the stone tablet and placed the Book of Omniscience into the groove.
The next second, the Book of Omniscience emitted a golden light, and it was pitch dark.
About three or four seconds later, Zhou Ning felt the statue in front of him move. It turned its head and looked at him. After a moment, an indescribable, ethereal voice said:
"The new master of the power of knowledge, the great god of knowledge and desire, may I know your current thoughts? Regarding the meaning of knowledge?"
After gaining control of the authority of knowledge and shouldering the mission of redistributing knowledge and completing the sublimation of the authority of knowledge, Zhou Ning's ideas have indeed changed to a certain extent.
Zhou Ning thought for a moment, then turned his right palm outward and pressed it against the stone tablet.
According to Zhou Ning's will, a line of golden words gradually appeared on it, replacing the original text:
“Knowledge means wealth, the gift of time, the trees planted by our predecessors, and selfless sharing.”
This answer reflects Zhou Ning's heartfelt feelings, including the first paragraph. As the leader of intellectual authority, he has a deep respect for knowledge. And there's also the second half of the sentence, which isn't included: Knowledge represents the tree of our ancestors, while wisdom is the flower on that tree.
In fact, as the source of knowledge and wisdom, Guarani did nothing wrong before his fall. He perfectly shared and distributed knowledge and wisdom, although he may have mixed in some private ideas. But human knowledge does indeed come from him.
"Excellent answer, salutations to you, praise to the great god of knowledge and wishes."
The statue repeated the answer several times before falling silent again with a look of unsatisfied satisfaction.
Immediately afterwards, the words on the stone tablet flashed with astonishing light, and then a new signature appeared in the lower right corner:
"The god of knowledge and wishes."
The authority of knowledge began to rise.
Zhou Ning's expression did not change at all. He closed his eyes and silently sensed the existence and trajectory of knowledge.
This knowledge was like countless tangled threads, each with its own origin and destination. A vast amount of complex knowledge and information poured into Zhou Ning's mind, creating ripples in his ocean of knowledge.
After the induction was completed, according to Zhou Ning's will, the knowledge was returned to the original owner along the same route.
A large number of golden threads representing knowledge extended from the church into the distance again, creating a spectacular sight.
Gifts are inherently difficult to deprive. Zhou Ning's level has not yet reached that of a true god, and his grasp of knowledge and authority is not proficient, which has put great pressure on his divinity.
If he were not still in his mythical form, if it were not for the bonus from the City of Omniscience, an ordinary god, or even a righteous god, might not be able to sustain this kind of consumption.
Docklands, Savia Street.
The fat little boy Alan West leaned back in his chair, rocking it with a worried look on his face.
Not long ago, a large number of knowledge abnormalities occurred in Darkland. No, not just Darkland, but throughout the entire Kingdom of Bryston, knowledge was being stripped away. The knowledge of some people suddenly disappeared. According to the propaganda of the Ascetic Church, this is probably related to the long-lost God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
He also lost his martial arts and even the knowledge of the family precepts of justice, which was a nightmare for the heir of the family precepts of "justice".
"Strength comes from justice." Alan West muttered to himself, but still no response.
Just when he was disappointed and frustrated, he suddenly "saw" a large number of golden threads extending towards him. The next second, a lot of familiar knowledge appeared in his mind.
This... Alan West's face was filled with ecstasy, and he muttered to himself again:
“Strength comes from justice.”
The next second, two wings like light opened behind him.
"This is a miracle!" Alan West somehow sensed the source of the miracle, a god called the God of Knowledge and Desire.
As the new head of the West family, Alan West, who is also deeply involved in the supernatural world, is naturally no stranger to this new god.
Boss Wayne… a complicated expression appeared on his face, and he lowered his head deeply:
"Praise be to the great god of knowledge and desire."
This situation is everywhere in Dockland, in the New Bryston Theocracy, in Nathaniel, in the New Falrick Kingdom, and in Dulles City.
Countless people who had lost the knowledge they relied on for survival regained it, bowed their heads and sang in unison:
"Praise be to the great god of knowledge and desire."
Finally, amidst the layers of praise and singing, the water in Zhou Ning's ocean of knowledge began to boil wildly, which represented that the authority of knowledge was being sublimated.
Immediately afterwards, the knowledge of the City of Omniscience also began to resonate, and the golden whirlwind representing knowledge and the remaining large number of golden threads gathered madly towards Zhou Ning.
Zhou Ning calmly lowered his eyes and did not dodge, but allowed the golden silk thread to wrap around him, interweaving into a white wizard hat and a gold and white robe.
At some point, a large number of living books and walking torrents of knowledge had gathered around Zhou Ning. These products of knowledge and wisdom now lowered their heads in unison and began to worship Zhou Ning devoutly.
"Praise be to the great God of knowledge and desire!"
The next second, the fog covering the statue's face dissipated, revealing Zhou Ning's face.
This means that Zhou Ning officially replaced the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and became the spokesperson for knowledge.
"Wayne is really getting better and better."
Infected by the sacred atmosphere, Jasmine and Leonardo couldn't help but lower their heads and pray devoutly.
The panel finally displayed a large number of task completion prompts.
