251. Then there is only one choice left--【16/25】(1/2)
Blake once discussed the characteristics of the six forces with Maiev, and they both agreed that the most generous of the six forces were evil and void.
These two forces are "responsive".
As long as you pray, they will give you power, but unlike other powers that need to show characteristics to win favor, the biggest problem with void and evil energy is that they are uncontrollable.
If you cannot control your rage and desire for destruction, evil energy will quickly turn you into a monster.
Without high rationality and outstanding wisdom, empty generosity will quickly drag you into the abyss of madness.
Therefore, for those who embrace darkness, the decision to embrace corruption does not mean the end, it is just the beginning of a new round of torture. From this perspective, every despised villain is actually a poor man struggling in the darkness.
But those are your own choices, so they don’t deserve sympathy.
To be honest, for these two uncontrolled forces, embracing evil energy is more difficult than following the void. After all, evil energy was born in the twisted void. It is difficult to find a place for evil energy to penetrate in the material world. You have to walk
The path to evil energy must be related to the devil.
As messengers of evil energy, the brutal character of demons makes it easy for them to have some "physical conflicts" with the summoner the moment they are summoned.
Worst of all, demons are generally better at fighting...
Therefore, for people who are already weak and in urgent need of strength, do not care about falling, and are very confident in their own wisdom, Void seems to be a better choice for strength.
Although the Sunless Sea in the Void Realm sounds very high-end, it is actually not very difficult to enter here.
As long as an intelligent life form is determined to seek refuge in the void and finds one or two spells or secrets that can summon the power of the void, it can easily contact the power of the void.
If he is not driven crazy by the breath of void, a cultist with "Great Expectations" will be born at this time.
It doesn't matter if he goes crazy, it means that a reserve Faceless recruit has been placed in place.
Anyway, no matter what the outcome is, Void will never lose.
However, being easy to get started often means that it is difficult to master it. If you want to make some achievements in the Way of the Void, greed and desire for power are just basic skills.
The most important thing in this line of work is to have enough brains.
Not only must you have a quick mind and know how to choose a less bad option to strengthen your strength among the generally bad power choices given by the void, but you must also have a sufficient brain on the physical level.
At least the brain capacity must be large enough to bear the blessing of empty truth.
Otherwise, the result of grabbing too much knowledge and not using enough brain is a "self-service craniotomy".
Of course, with Black's current status, he no longer needs to worry about these minor problems, but when it comes to truly coming into contact with the Lord of the Void's true thoughts, the pirate is still under great pressure.
While listening to the clear and magnetic whispers of the Lord of the Void, various complex magic formulas and graphical knowledge of divine power constantly appeared in front of Blake's eyes, and the wisdom that represented "truth" kept flashing in his vision.
go.
This knowledge from various fields often passes by in a flash. If you want to look at it carefully, you can't understand it at all, and it will make your head hurt when you look at it.
There is also mental oppression.
That might not be the Lord of the Void deliberately showing off his power, but rather the effect of some kind of "halo of truth". As he approached it, the pirate's mind was spinning rapidly, and the obscure magical knowledge that Dean Lanyue taught him was still there.
The mind is constantly being reviewed and rolled over, and various formulas are constantly being checked.
What we know about this scene is the conversation between the Lord of the Void and the Ancient God. I wonder if it also means that the two magic masters are holding a "seminar".
The reason why this happens is because this is the true meaning of the will of the void or the force of the void. All void creatures will instinctively pursue the concept of "truth" when they are born.
You can see this when you see that the place where N'Zoth is located in his holy city of Ny'alotha is named the "Ring of Truth".
They are essentially a group of monsters who are constantly pursuing and demanding knowledge and wisdom, devouring the food called "reason" and transforming them into real power.
For void creatures, the so-called "madness" is just the inevitable consequence of accepting too much knowledge.
Because "reason" can only see one side of the world, if you want to pursue more truth, you must look at the world in front of you in a different way. Only by abandoning the reason that restrains you can you embrace a broader world and more deviant wisdom.
Each Void Lord is a mobile "library of truth". As long as you can pay a sufficient price, you can exchange supreme knowledge from them.
Fallen void desires to absorb, while pure void desires to share.
This is the two-sided confrontation of the power of the void, but in essence, both are seeking absolute truth and knowledge, and they can be said to come from the same source.
To be honest, if it weren't for the corrosiveness of the void itself and the distortion of all things that are too dangerous, those real spellcasters would have plunged into the lightless sea full of supreme wisdom and scratched to their heart's content.
"I have seen your outstanding service to Elune and the Eternal Ones, and I am deeply... moved."
Under the rising and falling tide of truth in the sunless sea, that low and magnetic voice kept washing over Blake's wall of reason. He said with a voice of praise:
"In my opinion, all your actions are carefully planned and accurately promoted, while maintaining your own interests to the greatest extent while satisfying the desires of others as much as possible.
This is a wonderful balance.
This means that you possess the first-class wisdom under the stars, which means that you can abandon those boring shackles, not be affected by the ignorant world, and judge everything in the world from your own perspective.
The void is proud of you, Blake.
It is the honor of Sunless Sea in this era to have your support."
"Ahem."
Blake stood on the illusory beach. He was very respectful, and he resisted the discomfort caused by the various magic formulas and obscure wisdom that kept bursting out in front of him. He said:
"Your praise makes me ashamed. My dear Lord, although we have only met for the first time, I have no doubt that you are an excellent ruler who knows how to appreciate the merits of others.
But your appreciation also scares me.
Although you have endless existence, your time is still so precious. To allow you to waste so much time talking to me means that the cause you want me to serve you is quite difficult.
This makes me feel pressured.
I don't know if I can fulfill your request... Considering that I don't want to lose the little influence I have worked so hard to build today, I take the liberty to ask you to speak frankly.
We are all practitioners on the path of pursuing the truth, and we should make good use of every second, what do you think?"
"Hoo ho ho"
Blake's words set off ripples on the sunless sea. The great being hidden under the dark tide seemed to be amused. He let out a deep laugh, just like a wise old man holding a pipe in his mouth, and spoke unhurriedly.
:
"Are you afraid that your conversation with me will be discovered by your moon god and the Eternal One who is trying to use you? It doesn't have to be so, Black, in this land of truth, external forces will be suppressed.
In this place, brutal power is useless, and truth and wisdom are the rules here.
Elune is just a ignorant nun who is obsessed with faith and new life, and the Eternal One is too scheming. He is eager to cause imbalance in the Force. His efforts for countless epochs have made him ignore the value of pure wisdom.
They are all weak in this place, not even more valuable than you. You have walked the path to the truth of the Force, but only the void can realize all your potential...
The only regret is that you seem to be more eager to share knowledge with others than to possess more wisdom.
But this is not a big problem in the coming era of chaos.
The battle between the fallen void and the pure void is just a different understanding of the truth of wisdom. The most important issue at present is to discover more truths.
There is no one more suitable for such a mission than you."
The Lord of the Void, who seemed to have a very gentle and patient personality, paused, and amid the surging tide of darkness, he said to Black:
"Suspiciousness is a virtue, but Blake, you don't have to worry about my intentions. When you entered this place of truth, the empty will you served did not prevent me from appearing.
I think this is enough to explain what the Void Force expects of you.
I need you to serve me.
No, more accurately, serving the Void Force.
We must discover the truth and preserve the truth, and an era of disorder in the Force means danger, but it also means opportunity.
I will not ask you to stop advancing the conspiracy of the Eternal, nor will I interfere with your continued service to Elune's ignorant beliefs, provided that you keep your eyes open and do not let those boring doctrines blind your wise mind.
The void longs for more wisdom, from evil energy, from arcana, from death, from life, from the Holy Light... Our desire for truth has reached the point of greed.
It is hopeless poison, and we can only drink poison to quench our thirst.
Dedicate the knowledge you harvested to the void, Blake, and we will give you more wisdom in return.
This is not asking you to devote your loyalty to us. The Void is equal and generous. What we need is a collaborator, not a servant. How much you give us, we will give back to you..."
"Well, I like this kind of equal cooperation, my lord."
Blake suddenly raised his hand and said:
"But considering that my sacrifice to the void always requires extra effort and cost, I feel that one-for-one exchange is not in my interest. Maybe we should discuss the relationship between payment and reward.
if...
I mean, if I dedicate a star soul or an eternal being to you..."
"It is dedicated to the supreme void force, Blake, you must distinguish this point, this point is very important."
Lord Void corrected:
"We Lords of the Void are just manifestations of the Force at the level of rules. There is no essential difference between us, the Arcane Titans, and the Death Eternals.
We will also usher in the eternal silence of death, and we will return to the origin of warmth after annihilation.
For us, power or influence is meaningless. What we desire is only more knowledge, and to achieve this, we must continue to expand the force of the void.
Therefore, if you can really dedicate a star soul to the force of the void, the will of the void will grant you the supreme glory of truth.
Of course, I also know that for you, this kind of emotional language is meaningless. You only believe in tangible benefits, so I will give you a little sweetness...
