Chapter 522 Another World?

'What a complete mess.' Noel frowned. After everything they had shown in this place, he thought the knowledge inside this tower would be precious.

However, it turned out to be a complete mistake. He'd got some knowledge from Ardagan and the Moon Spirit.

It was the exact opposite of what they knew.

The spirits came from another world. It was true, but that other world was not in this place, but among the starry sky. Ardagan was a Spirit who had the most solid form in this world.

However, he was an artificial spirit that was made by the God of the Spirits. Meanwhile, the Spirits were like them. They had the ability to give birth to more spirits, and each person had their own spirit.

The only way to divide humans was by separating the people who had awakened their spirits and who hadn't.

As for reincarnation, he didn't know anything about that, but he didn't believe in all that. He only thought about living this life to the fullest.

Noel glanced at Sharkan, who kept smiling this whole time as if he was having fun sharing this knowledge with others.

He wanted to see how smart Sharkan was, so he asked, "So, what do you think about this book?"

Surprisingly, the smile disappeared from his face after that question. It looked like he was completely disappointed by Noel's question.

But it turned out he was wrong. Sharkan replied, "I don't think this book is correct. There is one big question that I always get every time I read this book. If people don't have a spirit in their body, why would many people who are desperate in their lives suddenly have their spirits?"

Noel fell silent, realizing that Sharkan wasn't a complete fool who would just follow anything written in the book. In fact, this was the true side of a scholar. They kept asking a question, even a question, to their own answer.

So, Noel couldn't help but tease him. "In the Demon Banner Army, we learned how to awaken our spirits. The best way to do it is to have a goal in life… Though, most of them can't awaken their spirits…"

Sharkan's expression suddenly became serious as if he had just got important knowledge.

Noel continued, "What if each person has a Spirit? What if the reason people don't think they have a Spirit is that they don't find their goal? The goal that they'll pursue for the rest of their life?

"You asked that question yourself, right? Why do so many desperate people suddenly get their spirits?"

"!!!" Sharkan widened his eyes as if he had managed to connect something from those questions. He couldn't help but think the same thing as Noel.

Everyone had their own spirit, but they simply failed to awaken them. In other words, each person was equal. There was no untalented person. They simply hadn't found their true potential. And once they realized it and got a goal for themselves, the spirit would awaken.

"This is…" Sharkan gasped. "Sir, may I use this topic as my research? I'd certainly not forget to put your name in it. You inspire me after all."

"Sure." Noel nodded casually as he didn't know the importance of research. However, what Noel knew was that Sharkan was actually a smart person. The only reason why he could actually link them was because the spirit had given him some information.

So, Noel chose a different path for Sharkan.

What if he managed to turn Sharkan into his own person? He had received a list of names that the Water Lord believed to be the spies for the Supreme Devil Organization.

Hence, Sharkan could become his own spy while researching spirits with all the clues he got. He hoped that he could give him information and find out more about spirits.

In other words, Noel's objective had changed from knowledge to spying.

With that thought in mind, Noel grabbed the second book and asked, "How about this book? Give me a summary of it."

"Certainly." Sharkan nodded excitedly. Noel had a different but blunt point of view. It made things easy for him to connect something to his own question and knowledge.

Even his casual remark might be something that his spirit had told him.

Sharkan immediately explained, "Like I said previously, this book contains information about why the spirits reside within us.

"However, this is a bit absurd because it's actually related to the demons. According to this book, the demons aren't from this world.

"Instead, they come from outer space." Sharkan pointed up.

"Outer space? Do you mean outside this world?" Noel was completely baffled by this information. But with how the spirits could enter this world to help the humans, the demons might be able to come here from outside. And they were the ones who caused the previous civilization's destruction.

"Yes. The author of this book was actually a Spirit Grandmaster, who was once a part of the Demon Banner Army. He had a lot of journeys outside the borders.

"Apparently, there was no record of the demons in the ruins he had encountered. This is the main reason why he believes that the demon is coming from the outside world. We don't know how and when, but their appearance might be similar to an invasion.

"They tried and are still trying to invade this world while the previous civilization resisted them.

"Unfortunately, our civilization lost and the demons controlled the world. That was when the spirits came.

"They were here to liberate us. Though, there was also a possibility that they were here to chase after the demons. By using us, they could exterminate them.

"In other words, the spirits might be like us, but to travel from their world to this world, they can only do it with their astral body. And that's the reason why they can only grant their power to us and have to reside within our body."

Surprisingly, Noel couldn't say anything about this theory. After all, he was somehow convinced by the content. The possibility was there, but he couldn't prove it.
