Chapter 750: Deity Arbiter
[As time passed, the Traces of Divine Transporter became faint. The thread of fate had become thinner, and the Book of Truth could no longer materialize... If the Divine Transporter did not reappear, a new Epoch Disaster would inevitably usher in.]
Endymion added.
[Because **Muted** was not the Deity of Foresight. The principles she set in the past would eventually become obsolete... There would come a day when the Book of Truth would no longer appear.]
In simpler terms, it was like the relic seal left behind by the “Divine Transporter’s Charioteer” had almost run out of ink pad, or was almost worn out.
From the time of the Venerated Skeleton to the time of the Man in the Mirror, there had never been a new Book of Truth...perhaps not because no new truth had been born, but because “the Divine Transporter’s Charioteer” left the “automatic admission mechanism” under the system that could no longer be applied to the rules of the modern world.
Upon careful thought, the Book of Truth about [machine] materialized in the Papal Kingdom was indeed related to Annan’s invention of the internal combustion engine.
However, the focus here was on “Annan” rather than “internal combustion engine”.
“What exactly is the Book of Truth?”
Annan couldn’t help but ask, “Or... what are the specific rules that gave birth to the Book of Truth?”
[The focus is on the Truth Fragment, not the Book of Truth.] The source of this content can be connected to n0v3lb!n★
Endymion replied.
[The Truth Fragments of Light Realm each correspond to a truth and an authority in Mist World, which are the roots of the clergy. However, the mortal souls and bodies cannot enter the Light Realm, nor do the Truth Fragments have material form.]
[Divine Transporter can gather Truth Fragments into a Book of Truth. Through the mutual restraint of plural Truth Fragments, truth has “directionality”. And this kind of weakened and aligned truth is the Book of Truth that can be accessed by mortal understanding]
[After ascendants enter the Light Realm, they can only hold at most two page fragments. The remaining page fragments will return to the Light Realm again and be handed over to the Divine Transporter to be reorganized into a book and handed over to the new deity.]
The secret knowledge Endymion passed on to Annan through light flow helped Annan gradually realize what “Divine Transporter” meant.
—The chosen heir to the Deity Arbiter.
The authority of “Divine Transporter” included the creation of the Book of Truth, the induction of mortals into the Light Realm, and the eradication of the erosion rate in the soul that was born from the curse and pollution.
That was why twelve upright deities had such high expectations for Annan.
—Because Annan carried the possibility of returning the world to its peak.
The reasons why “the Divine Transporter’s Charioteer” died in the past, what her specific authority and title were, why her death led to the birth of demons, and when demons formed a new race remained as mysteries.
However, Annan already roughly grasped the meaning of the existence of the “Book of Divine Transporter”.
This is simply the Isekai version of enlisting deities...
Rather, it was remarkable that this world managed to function for several thousands of years since “the Divine Transporter’s Charioteer” was lost.
This led to the emergence of unique cases like the ‘Paper Princess,’ a deity born from a painting — a result of the overly mechanical nature of the Ascension Ritual and the judgments of the Book of Truth, leading to the rise of various unusual deities.
...Maybe this info will be useful in the future.
Annan noted the info in mind and asked another question, “What if I wish for you to leave with me in good health?”
[You need to wait until I am born. Mom.]
Endymion replied unceremoniously.
[First of all, Mom, you need to restore the name of Divine Transporter, so that I can be born as the child of Divine Transporter... Before that, it will take about three years for me to develop to the point where I can be born.]
“If that’s the case...” Annan pondered.
He suddenly blurted to Suuankou, “Is that [Elderly Youth’s Hair] still with you?”
“...Ah?Ah, yes!” Suuankou was stunned for a moment and quickly replied, “Boss... I mean... Your Majesty, do you want it now?”
“Hmm? Give it to me. I will compensate you threefold later.” Annan said, reaching out his hand.
These were the ‘age-old yet young-looking hair strands’ treated with a special potion. It was a somewhat rare but not too difficult-to-obtain curse vessel. It could only be obtained from the heads of ‘never-aging elderly people’ or ‘children who had aged like the elderly,’ and then processed with a special potion.
This was a high-level cursed material that could kill a Silver Rank transcender.
The most correct way to use it was to bind the life of a dying person — known as the “Binding of Fate Ritual”, by overextending their lifespan several-fold to delay death.
Its ‘Binding of Fate’ power had now been completely depleted, leaving only side effects.
Those who held it would suffer from the curse of “accelerated aging”, doubling the rate of aging.
However, the side effects were not always bad.
For Endymion, who had an unusually abundant amount of “nutrients” but a relatively slow absorption efficiency, accelerating aging also meant accelerating growth.
“With that, you’ll be born in about a year and a half.” Annan smiled, “I will help you get rid of the bad guys who extract power from you. You can grow up here peacefully... I will come back to pick you up in a year and a half.”
[Then, Mom, please come here by the end of October next year.]
Endymion replied, [Please take this mark as my gift to Mother...]
As it spoke, a faint golden light burned on Annan’s left shoulder.
It was a pale gold, horizontal “8”, or rather an infinity symbol; just like the layout of the two rooms here.
“Thank you. Also, if possible, you’d better call me father...”
[I’ll try my best, Mom]
What a naughty kid.
Annan smacked his lips.
