Chapter 617: 582, Master Mani!

Haven’t you turned into a bunch of Eyes of Destiny?

Charles blurted out, “Master Mani!

Weren’t you turned into a bunch of Eyes of Destiny?”

He was deeply impressed by the Eye of Destiny, after all, that monster made up of countless faces had posed innumerable questions in an attempt to erode his consciousness, which he had defeated with a barrage of math papers—quite the memorable encounter.

Especially since it was the Serpent of Destiny who told him that the Eye of Destiny was Mani!

...

That piece of information was one hundred percent correct!

The True Gods surely possess secret knowledge about the mortal realm.

An extremely old man, his face bearing an age nearly impossible for humans, appeared before Charles, leaning on a cane made from a tree branch.

The old man smiled slightly and said, “You encountered the Eye of Destiny?”

“That thing is quite troublesome.”

Charles shrugged and replied, “He asked me some questions, and I asked him some too!

After that, the fellow with the countless faces just disintegrated into dust.”

The old man looked incredulous and asked, “What questions did you ask?” He was quite skeptical of Charles’s boasts but decided to give him a chance.

Charles tried, knowing that the Great Emerald Book wasn’t reality.

He used his thoughts to conjure up hundreds of test papers and tossed them to the old man claiming to be Mani.

The old man picked up the first test paper, displaying slight disdain.

Discarding the first one, he moved on to the second with a bit more seriousness.

By the time he reached the seventh or eighth test paper, his face was completely solemn, and when he got to more than ten, the ancient face was covered in streams of sweat!

Yes, he was utterly unable to solve them.

Despite Charles Meklen’s thoughtful notes on the test papers outlining the necessary mathematical knowledge, including, but not limited to, various mathematical concepts and theorems, this self-proclaimed Mani was completely stumped—even if he really was the greatest Alchemist since the inception of Magic Alchemy!

But still, he couldn’t solve these math problems.

When it comes to mathematics, if one cannot solve it, then it cannot be solved!

Even Transcendents, even those who understand magic, cannot—solve—it!

Mani carefully collected all the test papers and sighed, “From today on, you are the Sage of the Great Emerald Book!

As a Sage, you possess the following rights: automatic appointment as Librarian, automatic succession to the Curator, the right to designate knowledge infusion five times, and you can also have me craft one Extraordinary Object.”

“Your test papers will appear in the knowledge repository of the Great Emerald Book.”

Charles was overjoyed upon hearing this.

As a teacher, what troubled him most were those dense students who just couldn’t seem to learn.

But then he thought of these students, not his own children, which always allowed him to relax a little.

But what if one day he also had such slow children?

This question was the ultimate concern of every teacher!

No teacher can accept…

Charles gently tapped his chest, musing, “Now that’s settled!

No matter how slow my future children are, I can imbue them with knowledge, or even fill their little brains to the brim, ensuring that, no matter how foolish they are, they have a baseline in life.”

“This is truly a Divine Skill that so many parents dream of!”

For a moment, Charles almost forgot the many questions he still had.

He looked at the exuberant Curator Mani, who was holding a test paper and deeply engrossed in a math problem, and finally remembered the question that the Serpent of Destiny had refused to answer.

He asked, “How did you end up like this?

And what’s the deal with the Eye of Destiny?”

Mani, holding a test paper and smiling warmly, said, “I knew you’d have that question!”

“You’ve now gained all the knowledge of the Great Emerald Book—you should be able to answer that yourself.

But digesting knowledge takes time, and you’ll probably need a few years to ponder it.

It’s not really a great secret, so I’ll tell you in advance.”

“You know about the Four Challenges of the Divine Level?”

Charles nodded, indicating that he did.

Master Mani continued, “The physical challenge is the easiest to overcome, and many have found ways that suit them.

Of course, there are also fools who simply resort to enlarging their bodies.

Though it comes with many side effects, it’s possible to survive the physical ordeal this way.”

“Crafting one’s divine body is a highly complex and refined process.

The Great Emerald Library has collected at least eleven methods—you should consider them carefully.”

“The soul’s challenge!

That’s a bit more difficult.

However, I’ve discovered the best method—to combat the contamination of the Evil God with knowledge!”

“As long as your knowledge is rich enough to form a fortress, you can withstand endless terrible divine thoughts.”

“As for consciousness…”

“There’s no complete solution!

To this day, I have no idea how the Nine Great True Gods solved this problem and ensured the purity and integrity of their core consciousness.

But I came up with a method: to store my own consciousness in the Jade Scroll, and throw out the contaminated consciousness, turning it into Eyes of Destiny.”

“Of course, there are serious drawbacks to this approach!

The biggest one is that I can’t get out anymore.”

“Hmm, those who used my method to ascend to the Divine Level can’t get out either.”

Charles had long sensed that there were many “people” around, but these people hadn’t “appeared,” and he couldn’t see them; however, he could feel them because they were perusing his papers, which were a concentration of his consciousness and could transmit perceptions to him.

He also thought of Zimmerman, an unparalleled genius who had something to be truly proud of.

He could develop solutions that even Master Mani hadn’t grasped.

Despite the fact that Zimmerman might still face problems ascending the Divine Level, Charles believed it was only a matter of time before he overcame them.

In other words, Charles was likely to encounter a Divine-Level enemy.

What a headache!

Mani sighed and continued, “As for Divine Office, it might be the simplest—just obtain the Office and you can ascend.

But it can also be the most difficult—until you get it, you can’t get it!

Just like these math problems, if you can’t solve them, then that’s it, no matter what you do, you can’t solve them.”

Charles remembered his own Divine Office of the God of the Labyrinth and thought, “That’s true!

The most wondrous thing about mathematics: once you get it, you get it.

It’s reliable beyond imagination.

Mathematics and truth are eternal.”

“But surely, when it comes to Offices, can’t one cheat?”

Charles suddenly came up with six or seven possibilities and waved the handsome Librarian over, asking, “Are you also a half-baked Divine-Level being?”

The handsome man smiled sheepishly, “Yes!”

“Do you have an Office?”

“No.”

“I have an Office, but it might not count.

Anyway, want to give it a try?”
