"..."

A series of notices flashed across Deya's panel. He flipped through the entire panel and looked at the countless lines that showed all of his increased skill and level experience points.

During this nearly one and a half years, Deya did nothing but studied and understood spells tirelessly.

Whenever he encountered a problem with magic, he would go directly to the teacher for advice. Apart from that, he never left the house. Except for his rest time, he devoted all his energy to improving his ability level.

The teacher's words gave Deya a great sense of urgency.

Besides that, he still felt it was not enough and tried to make use of the ability of the Time Witch Lamia as much as possible.

Since being promoted to the sixth ring, Lamia has used her abilities in a completely different way than before.

She no longer needs her own flesh and blood, but can use spells to spend more time on the recipient.

However, there is a problem with this method, which is that the effect is not as good as using flesh and blood.

If you want to achieve better results, you still have to use the witch's flesh and blood.

Deya doesn't like to eat "human blood buns", so unless he is forced to do so and time is completely insufficient, he is not willing to use the method of "eating people" to strengthen himself.

There was no other way in the past, but now that he has other options, he will naturally not hurt Lamia again.

As a mage, this should actually be Deya's normal life.

However, due to various events in Susetani and England in the past, Deya had no time or concentration to study.

Now he can finally take out more than a year to perfect what he has learned in the past. At the same time, he is also checking for gaps and making up for them, and remembering again some knowledge that he did not learn in the past due to impatience.

As long as you study, you will be able to learn it. This is the greatest benefit that Deya’s golden finger brings to him.

But I have to say that as long as you work hard, you will get rewards. This alone is already the biggest cheat.

During this period, he also completed the promotion from the sixth ring to the seventh ring and started the world remembrance.

But the result of the promotion was somewhat unsatisfactory. Although Deya still completed the promotion with a perfect evaluation, he completed it with great reluctance.

With Deya's strength, he only barely got a perfect evaluation when he was promoted, which in itself was very wrong, because it was equivalent to that if other people were promoted, the probability of getting a perfect evaluation would be even lower.

In this way, the possibility of further promotion is almost cut off.

“According to the theory of promotion, as the number of rings increases, the difficulty of the world recollection you participate in should also become higher, but in the past thousand years, there have not been any major historical events that are enough to complete the promotion to a higher number of rings.

This time I was promoted from the sixth ring to the seventh ring, and the historical scope of the world recollection I experienced was still within a thousand years. Because the difficulty of the world recollection was not high, it was difficult to get a higher evaluation. "

Deya was thinking about the gains and losses of this promotion, and being promoted from the sixth ring to the seventh ring had already made Deya feel the despair of his path to promotion being cut off.

Because with such a difficult World Recollection, how could it be possible to advance from the seventh ring to the eighth ring? No matter how many times you participate in the World Recollection, the final result will definitely be failure.

That has nothing to do with your own strength, but the fact that the road has been blocked artificially!
"But I finally got the Enlighten Undead spell to its maximum level."

In Deya's empty room, he looked at the skills in front of him and was eager to try them out.

After Deya was promoted to the seventh ring, he found that it would be extremely difficult to skip the ring and learn the eighth ring spells.

This may be because spells above the eighth ring are already on two levels from those below the eighth ring.

But no matter what, Deya has now become a perfect seven-ring wizard.

If it were in the past, Deya’s chances of being promoted to the eighth ring would be very high, and he could even open the champagne in advance.

But now that the Eight Rings Road has been cut off, his excessive perfection will only bring greater pain.

Fortunately, there is always a way out. At least I still have a chance!

Deya summoned the first king of Susaitani and prepared to grant it intelligence.

In the past, Deya had always been quite critical of his undead creatures. The main reason was that these undead creatures had no intelligence at all. He had to give orders for all things, and they could only act on instinct.

Now, as long as they are endowed with enough wisdom, it would be equivalent to Deya having a real army of undead with subjective initiative.

The undead creatures at that time can be called the undead!
With excitement, Deya used the seventh-level spell "Enlighten Undead".

But strangely, this spell had no effect at all.

"What's going on? Could it be that these contracted undead creatures of mine are hero templates and require higher-level spells to use?"

Unwilling to give up, Deya summoned a low-level undead. After casting the spell again, the spell still failed.

Deya frowned. This was not right. A seventh-level spell of mine didn't work on a fourth-level undead creature. There was something wrong with this spell.

Just as Deya was about to ask the teacher if he had learned the wrong spell, Patricia, who had been quietly beside Deya, said:

"Don't go looking for Irwin. Even if you go to him, he won't be able to give you an answer. This is probably a question that all necromancy mages are wondering about now. Why can't undead creatures be given intelligence?"

Deya, who was about to leave, stopped and looked at Patricia and asked, "From what you said, do you know the reason?"

Patricia snorted: "I already said so, of course I know the specific reason."

"Then explain it to me."

"Then you must listen carefully, Deya. This matter is extremely important. It concerns your future and your choice of promotion to the Eighth Ring."

Patricia suddenly looked serious, and it looked like she wanted to tell a huge secret.

When Deya saw this, he also sat up straight. Since this concerned his own future, he had to be careful in responding to these words.

Patricia lowered her ruby ​​eyes, and after considering her words, she said, "After you were promoted to the seventh ring, I was also promoted.

As the number of levels increases, some memories that were harmful to me are restored. I have now restored most of my memories, the memories before my death."

Lady Dark Moon floated to the huge French window, looked at the wind and clouds below, and said, "You must have been wondering why half of the divine nature of the Singer of Silence is in me. That is the divinity and authority of the Singer of Silence.

You must have guessed that I once had a war with that 'God of Death'. Before I recovered my memory, I suspected that I was the loser of that war. However, in the end, I forcibly tore off the other party's 'essence', resulting in a lose-lose situation for both sides. "

Deya nodded slightly, he guessed the same thing.

Whether judging from the rumors of various sects or people's perception, the Dark Moon Goddess is no match for the Singer of Silence.

After all, one of them is a 'true God' and the other is a 'false God'!
Patricia laughed, and that laugh sounded more like a mockery of herself: “But as my memory recovered, I realized that this was not the case.

Quite the contrary, I am not a loser, I am a winner. I easily tore off half of the godhood of the Singer of Silence.

That stems from my greed, because the power of Dark Moon and Death is close, so I think that as long as I get the power of the Silent Singer, I can even go a step further and no longer limit the power of God to this material world, but expand it to other material worlds. "

Deya blinked and interrupted Patricia, "Wait a minute, you said you easily defeated the Silence Chanter and even took away half of His power? Does this mean that you are stronger than Him?"

Patricia glanced at Deya with dissatisfaction: "Don't interrupt me when I'm talking, wait until I finish speaking."

"Okay, okay." Deya also knew that this habit of his was not good, so he shut up immediately.

"But I can answer your question first. You are right. I am stronger than the Singer of Silence. To be more precise, I was stronger than all the so-called 'true gods' in my prime.

Judging from the strength and comparison alone, they are the false gods and I am the true God. However, in my self-cognition, I still recognize them as orthodox, which is a bit strange.

I haven't fully recovered my memory of this part yet, maybe you need to be promoted again before I can explain it to you."

Patricia didn't say much, but she gave Deya a great shock.

Is the Dark Moon Goddess more powerful? Is the true God the false God?

He didn't dare say more, holding his breath and continuing to listen to Patricia's explanation.

"I was the 'Eternal God' in the past, in charge of day and night, but because of my greed, I wanted to control more, so I tried to seize death.

I succeeded, but I also failed. I seized half of the power of death, but it also caused my power to become completely unbalanced, causing me to split.

Deya, actually the God of Dawn and the God of Dark Moon are actually one person. They are me, 'Patricia'. They are two gods that were split apart!
Simply put, the power of death is more suitable for the Dark Moon, so the power of death combined with the Dark Moon, after the imbalance, completely tore me in half, into flesh and consciousness.

My true consciousness, which is who I am now, has become the God of Dark Moon, and my body has autonomously developed a new consciousness, becoming the God of Dawn."

Patricia's words stunned Deya. Seeing that Patricia didn't speak for the time being, he quickly sorted out what he had just heard and said:

"So, you are the so-called 'Eternal God', the Dark Moon Goddess is the legitimate one, and the Dawn Goddess is your second personality? And you all want to fight for dominance, so there will be a war?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

"Then why are you weaker than the Dawn Goddess? You have obtained half of the power of death and are also adapted to the power of the Dark Moon. You should be stronger than her, right?"

“This is easy to explain, because we are fighting for dominance in the material world, but in the material world, the body is very important. This is why those gods want to use various methods to create a human body so that they can descend to the world.

Unfortunately, I lost my body, so I am no match for the Dawn Goddess. If it weren't for you, I would have been the loser and would have been killed by her."

Patricia sighed and said that she felt that her luck was extremely good.

Deya had no intention of taking credit for it. He thought carefully and felt that in the historical course of the game, the ending seemed to be really like this.

The Dark Moon Goddess, who was the subject, died, and the new personality of the Dawn Goddess, born from her flesh, became the new subject.

But that should be another timeline. Because of my own reasons, the past and the future have changed.

Just like this man named Deya Cavendish, his ending should have been death.

"Now that the consciousness of the Dawn Goddess is dead, your so-called resurrection by borrowing the body of the Dawn Goddess is actually just taking back your own body and restoring your original appearance.

The Eternal Goddess is not a name you made up, but your original power."

Deya finally figured out the relationship between the two gods.

He once had two guesses, one was that they were the same person, and the other was that they were sisters.

Now it seems that the first guess is correct, except that the Goddess of Dawn is a physical personality, while the Goddess of Dark Moon is an autonomous consciousness.

No wonder the Dark Moon Goddess would live in the doll. Deya originally thought that it was because she was dead, so she wanted to use the doll to resurrect her.

But if you think about it carefully, the Dark Moon Goddess actually used the body of the puppet a long time ago and even went to the Church of Silence to steal forbidden objects.

That’s because the Dark Moon Goddess has lost her body, and she can only move by living in a doll!
"Wait, the power of death that I control and these rituals of the dead are not your power at all, but come from the Singer of Silence?"

Deya suddenly realized that after all this time, I was not a follower of the Dark Moon Goddess at all. I should be a follower of the 'Silent Singer'.

Well, to be more precise, a blasphemer, someone who steals the power of the God of Death.

Patricia smiled and said, "The powers you possess are closer to the 'Silent Chanter', but some of my abilities are also part of it, otherwise your mythical power would not be so different from others.

This is also why I am going to explain to you why your spell to grant intelligence to undead creatures will fail.

As a mage, you know that every god has a corresponding race. The 'Fire of Order' corresponds to the celestial creatures, and the Will of Chaos corresponds to the 'Demon'.

These corresponding races are all spirits from the higher realms and they themselves do not have physical bodies, but they all have their own wisdom.

The first high-level undead creatures had some of their own consciousness from their previous lives, and the undead creatures corresponded to the 'Silent Singer', but when the Silence Singer had problems, the corresponding undead creatures naturally had defects. "

Deya digested the information he had obtained, and nodded slowly: "I understand why the spell of 'Enlightenment Wisdom' failed. Then, Patricia, what do you think is related to my future?"

Patricia hesitated for some reason, and then she said, "I said before that I can help you quickly advance to the eighth ring and gain 'cognition'.

Actually, I have some selfish motives here. The divine nature of the Singer of Silence is poison to me. Only by stripping it away can I return to my true self.

Otherwise, even if I get my body back, the final outcome will still be separation."

Deya raised his eyebrows and said, "So from the beginning, your so-called Chosen One is actually choosing someone to help you carry the power of the Silent Chanter?"

Patricia felt a little guilty, but she admitted it anyway.

Lady Dark Moon continued, "As long as you can obtain the power of the Silent Chanter that I have improved, you will obtain the essence of death, and naturally you will be able to immediately gain the 'cognition' of being promoted to the Eighth Ring."

"What's the price?"

Deja doesn't believe that this comes without any cost.

"The price is that you and the Singer of Silence will be in a life-and-death situation. He will definitely kill you to make himself whole again."

The price is not small, becoming a mortal enemy with a god, and it must be a life-and-death battle, and only one side can win.

But Deya is still a mortal, he cannot be a match for the original owner of "Death".

Deya looked a little strange. He said, "This is actually a good thing. I can't even find a way for a mortal to become a god. If I can defeat the Singer of Silence and take away his power, does that mean I will become the new God of Death?"

"That's true in theory, but Deya, are you really sure you can face a god directly?"

"Patricia, have you misunderstood something? This is not just my business. Since you were able to defeat the Singer of Silence in your prime, if I help you recover all your strength, can't you just kill Him?"

Deya said decisively, who says you have to rely on yourself to do things, living off others is the way to go!
Others eat women as gigolos, but I eat goddesses as gigolos, and even eat goddesses to become a god!
Patricia was stunned for a moment, but then she thought about it and it made sense. Why did Deya have to go alone to fight the Singer of Silence? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a righteous group fight?

I have fallen into a wrong thinking.

Deyad immediately urged, "Okay, then tell me how to obtain the divine essence that belongs to the Singer of Silence."

Patricia suddenly became shy: "In the material world, the body is the most important. If you want to transmit God's essence, you also need a medium, which means you need a body."

She gritted her teeth and said, "...The most important part of my body is with you. As long as I return my consciousness to my body, I can use the body-to-body communication method to make you understand 'cognition'!"

"Is the way this body communicates with other bodies what I thought it would be?"

Deya looked strange.

The body of the goddess of dawn is now like a human pig, without limbs. Can it be understood as an inflatable doll? Will this make people think I am a pervert?
But I'm a necromancer, so it's okay, necromancers are all corpse lovers...

Patricia forced herself to stay calm and nodded: "It's just what you think."
