The old man handed the knife to Su Qi: "You can start your baptism now."
"No need, sir."
Su Qi did not take it, but slowly took out the Dark Star and transformed it into a knife:
“I like to use my own knives.”
Chapter 239 The Great Venerable!
Su Qi had already walked to the side of the black mummy and glanced around.
If the black color on everyone's body is lines, then on this mummy it is like living liquid.
He looked at the question mark.
There is only one message all the time.
[Parasitic venom sealed in human skin]
The various black mummies densely packed in the dungeon before our eyes were not living people, but human figures sewn out of human skin.
The function of these human skins is to seal all the black liquid inside.
"Everyone, the so-called baptism is nothing more than transferring these parasitic venoms into your body step by step."
"This kind of thing is very strange and weird. It's the first time I've seen it."
"the most important is"
Su Qi stood in front of the old man's enthusiastic eyes and slowly raised his dagger.
The [Death Star Annihilation] that he obtained, which he called the Dark Star, sent him a hungry urge to devour.
It seems like these black liquids.
It is a great tonic for it.
In this case, Su Qi would naturally not miss this opportunity. He had already swallowed up most of his belongings, including the Thunder Bone Crusher, table tennis racket, etc.
It can transform into any weapon it has swallowed and maintain its original properties.
The most abnormal thing is that the original weapon attributes will also be raised to a higher limit because of the [Dark Star] itself, and have growth potential.
As for why it is called the Dark Star, it is because its form has not been unlocked yet and it is not worthy of the name [Death Star Annihilation] for the time being. The most important thing is that the name is too flashy, so it would be easier to survive if it were to change the name.
"Before the baptism, I want to remind you something." The old man could already feel the stirring under the human skin, and the parasitic fluid was more impatient than before: "Your sins are more serious than you thought, and perhaps you need more and longer baptism processes."
"Okay."
Su Qi knew what Lao Deng was thinking. The more of these parasitic fluids he absorbed, the more he would be affected. It seemed that he could even merge with the host and produce some changes.
"However, these are just guesses now. Let's see what this thing is used for first."
Su Qi smiled and stabbed the dagger down. The black liquid gushed out suddenly. They were magical parasites. When they saw the host, it was like seeing the most tempting food. They pounced on it madly!
But. The Dark Star in Su Qi's hand trembled slightly, not because it couldn't bear it, but because it was also extremely excited and agitated, as if it was extremely hungry. With even more terrifying madness, it swallowed up the black liquid directly and violently.
The parasitic fluid seemed to stagnate for a moment, and even wanted to retreat.
But there is no way to escape.
In an instant, it was swallowed up by the Dark Star.
Su Qi: “.”
It's hard for me to act if you do it so fast.
The old man's eyes were a little dazed. When other people were infected, it took at least ten seconds. How come the black liquid disappeared in just a moment?
The old man and Su Qi looked at each other, the latter coughed and clasped his hands together.
".Amen and no, sir."
Su Qi said devoutly: "I feel the power of the Venerable, I feel the purification."
"Please let me continue with the baptism."
The black lines on his body were surging, more violent than before.
The old man did not refuse, but smiled and said, "Of course."
He was well aware of the horror of these black liquids. The fact that the other party absorbed them so quickly only meant that the parasitic liquid was extremely interested in them, which also meant that the degree of fusion was extremely perfect!
More perfect than anyone else in this world!
How could he possibly stop it?
I must complete the task assigned by the Venerable. When the Venerable comes back and sees such a perfect parasite, he will definitely feel extremely happy.
Just when Suqi was being baptized.
In another world.
In the retro old-fashioned architecture school, a man in a long robe was sitting cross-legged in front of a group of students, and next to him was a picture with lines drawn on it. He looked at the students and said softly, "Research, learning, civilization, science can drive everything for us. Even for a king, there is no shortcut to studying."
"The beauty of science is that everything can be found in the complexity of everything."
"Just like," the robed man in front of him gently stroked his white beard, "if you give me a fulcrum, I can lift up our entire world."
The students listened to this sentence in confusion, some could not understand, and some were thinking hard.
Someone shook his head: "Teacher, how can you turn our world upside down?"
"Are you a god?"
"It is said that the great King Gulba could withstand mountains and cross seas, but it seems not as exaggerated as you said, teacher."
The man in the robe looked at everyone gently.
In their time, all kinds of wars were taking place, various bow and arrow weapons were developed, and how to fight was learned. These aspects of knowledge were like enlightenment to many students in front of them, and the seeds of thought were sprouting.
"God does not exist, and all laws are tangible and can be found."
“I’m sure you’ll understand soon enough.”
The man in the robe was suddenly speechless.
Because many students were looking at the distant sky with dull expressions.
They are teaching in the open space because their teacher, the robed man, believes that a broader vision will be more conducive to their thinking and free from the constraints of their original thoughts.
And at this moment.
Naturally, they noticed something was wrong at the first moment.
"what is that."
Someone murmured.
"Am I dazzled?"
"Teacher, why did a vortex appear from the sky, and someone walked out?"
The robed man's pupils trembled, and he looked into the distance in surprise.
Under the shining holy light, three figures are slowly appearing in the ripples!
"what on earth is it!"
Although he did not have much foresight, based on his own continuous research, he believed in science more than so-called theology.
And now.
Something happened that went against all his common sense.
Everyone looked at the few people illuminated by the holy light and falling to the ground in a daze.
Slowly walked towards them.
Many students knelt down muttering to themselves.
"It's the legendary servant of King Gulba!"
“A miracle has happened!”
The man in the robe opened his mouth. He was against theology, idealism, and insisted on enlightenment ideas such as equality for all, but now he was speechless.
"Who are you?"
The robed man couldn't help but tremble in his voice.
The three figures were all dressed in pure white, two of them had gentle smiles on their faces, while the one in the middle was slowly sitting in front of a statue, which was a symbol of knowledge in their academy.
The skin on his face was very dark and had deep wrinkles. He looked very old, but he had peaceful eyes.
"We are the saviors." One of the two spoke softly.
"Following the teachings of the Venerable, I came here to save you."
"Your Majesty?"
The words he had never heard of, the people he had never seen, and the strange sights all gave him a very bad feeling.
The robed man had a serious look on his face. His intuition told him that this was all very unsettling. The people in front of him had gentle smiles on their faces, but he felt a deep chill. He stood in front of the students and said with some caution: "Excuse me, three distinguished guests, I would like to ask what salvation means."
The person sitting in front of the statue spoke softly:
"What is salvation?"
His voice was hoarse, but it had a strange magic that made everyone fall into it involuntarily: "Do you know what the biggest weakness of human beings is? It's desire."
“That is the source of all sin.”
"Appetite, sexual desire, love desire, and the desire to kill are all sins."
“To cleanse oneself from sin and free oneself from desire is called salvation.”
The robed man looked a little dazed, but the next moment his pupils trembled slightly, and he came out of his previous words. He was a little doubtful about his previous state, and his expression became more and more uneasy as he said in a deep voice:
"That's not salvation. Desire itself is existence itself."
"Without desire, a person is incomplete. Restraining oneself in the midst of desire is salvation."
He was not some ignorant and foolish person. He mastered the most advanced ideas of the time. He was a strong opponent of many theologies and one of the promoters of the Enlightenment!
Having participated in numerous debates, all the gods wanted to kill him.
