Chapter 50: EP6.5: Art of divination - Scripture of divinities (2)
From Feng Mei calculation, he needed to make videos for a month or two to really become popular. But thanks to his servant *Sea of medical knowledge Dracula* It happened in merely one fight.
He has become popular among the human community as a hero, at least for some people! (though mostly still believed Feng to be a retard).
Popularity itself is the substance that a person needs to practice (i.e: recite) the «Scripture of Divinities».
Like its name, the scripture has the ability to grand one divinity to a person. The scripture of divinity produces a divine spark for a distinguished Mortal.
A mortal can integrate with this divine spark and transcend his mortality. (shed away his mortal body).
The «Scripture of divinities» has three pages.
A mortal like him should only recite the first page.
The first page of the divinity scripture is called Mortal!
The Mortal page of the «Scripture of divinity» provides a mortal with two paths towards divinity.
They are the path of Tyrant and the path of a Hero.
The path of the tyrant is extremely cruel. It requires endless killing, eating Hearts, and thoughts(i.e: mind) of mortals that are in different states. Such as a terrified mind, A heart full of anger, Mind filling with feelings of hatred, A heart carrying deep resentment, and the tastiest of them all is a mind of a mortal, broken down by fear.
At the end of the path of the tyrant, a mortal condenses a Devil divinity, loses his humanity and become a wicked deity.
While the second path, the path of the hero requires a person to be righteous. He has to help fellow mortals, earning their admiration, and also ignite a seed of hopes in their hearts. Basically, becoming the sun flare in their thoughts, in their wills(the condensation of their thoughts) in their mind, in their heart and in their soul.
At the end of the path of the hero, a mortal condenses a righteous, ethical, etc type of divinity, integrates it with his body, and becomes a righteous deity.
Thanks to the video, which a lot of people have watched, Feng Mei; The Neutral Evil Empyrean has met the requirement of the path of the hero. Moreover, he would have naturally choose the path of Hero.
The first reason for his decision is,
A. He has met the requirements to walk on the path of the hero
The second reason for his decision is,
B. The path of the hero will make him become a righteous deity, which also suited his human nature.
The third reason is the main one,
C. It is because his parent is human and he did not want to eat thousands of mortal hearts, once again.
Furthermore, Feng Mei was actually not gonna become a righteous deity, right away, or something along the line.
He is Reciting this scripture because it will help him obtain a ‡Mystical energy‡. This mystical energy is the reason why gods build a temple on mortal land and mandate the mortals to visit their temple and pray to them.
A normal mortal pray to the god with his thoughts. A better devote pray to God with thoughts, mind, will. A devotee lost in his God light prays with his thoughts, mind, will, heart, and soul. These prayers turn into the mystical energy called ‡Divine Energy‡. Gods use mortal prayers as a source of power to help build their divine lands and in turn, they bless mortals with their protection.
The ‡Divine Energy‡ is the mystical energy which he will use to practice the First Evil Empyrean «Art of Divination».
Feng has to go through all of this because this damn world didn't have any mana. The «Art of Divination» needs different substances to practice.
The substances range from Light elemental mana, Dark elemental mana, Law of time, Thunder elemental mana, the world soul, and much more.... none of which, Feng Mei who has become an Otaku after defeating his final enemy had.
The only thing that can substitute for all these stuff is the mystical energy called ‡Divine energy‡ obtainable through the scripture of divinities.
Feng pressed on top of his wireless headphones version HT-HH LBE (Hub-tub Holographic Headphone Limited Blue edition).
A blue light went over his hand, scan King it and a holographic screen open up.
"Pause the song" Feng commanded and the music playing out of his headphone, parked on his neck, stopped. The holographic screen automatically closed after ten seconds.
The reciting part must be done loud, that is also the reason why he send Arnold and Dracula ahead. He didn't want to share the information related to this scripture with them. Because it will inflict them with an unknown danger. A danger known only to Feng Mei!
He opened his mouth and recited the entire Mortal page of the scripture of divinities
"From the endlessness came one.
One produced two.
From a total of three came everything.
Endlessness is huge and the flame that flickers in it is small.
It is like the Comparison between a Mortal and ants.
It is like the Comparison between God and mortals.
Mountain beyond Mountain, Heaven beyond Heaven.
The fact is so, truth too.
Don't be a frog in the well and try to tread upon the path of tyrant or hero.
Killing the flame in the endless.
Mortal Tyrant Cause senseless slaughter.
Let the flame tremble, Make fellow Mortal fears.
A Tyrant rising in the midst of mortal by forming an ocean of blood.
Crowd so big yet no different than ants.
Limbs scattered everywhere.
Bodies missing heart and brain.
All alone on the blood-filled land, the tyrant glorify and become a wicked deity."
Feng read the first two paragraphs. The starting basically was about a life an ignorant mortal and the middle part explained the path of Tyrant. Nothing happened when Feng recited them. After all, he wasn't on the path of the tyrant.
Feng continued on reciting, this time he has finally reached the part which contains words about the path If hero.
"Igniting flames in the endlessness..."
Along with Feng words, the world around him tumbled in excitement, as if responding to him.
"Righteous hero Merrily face viciousness and roams the world."
A thunderstruck the land around Feng Mei, by falling through the skies but it was inaudible. The thunder was shaped like a divine dragon.
Feng Mei didn't even blink in response and continued reciting.
"Heart laid out for mortals, performing Endless Selfish sacrifice."
As if Feng vowed to the heavens, divine pale gold lights in the shape of the sun started condensing upon his head. This Sun is the Mystical energy called ‡Divine energy‡.
"Soul of gold, will of gods."
Ten thunderstruck down but none produce a single voice. Arnold and Dracula didn't even know that lightning is striking on the land right around Feng Mei. The lightning was inaudible because it has submitted before Feng Mei and didn't dare let out even a single hush.
He recited the rest of the lines in one breath.
"Walk ahead on the land.
Causing Thousands of flame to twinkle and burn brighter.
The great hero glorifies under the stares of the world, transcending morality by condensing righteous divinity."
Along with the last three lines, the pale gold sun made out of Divine energy dropped upon Feng Mei head.
The Sun didn't harm Feng Mei rather got absorbed inside him. It followed down on a well-intended path, from the top of his head where lies the gate of wisdom towards his heart where lies the gate of the dragon.
But Feng did not let the ‡Divine energy‡ follow it's natural pathway.
Feng Mei started circulating his «Art of Divination».the moment the sun made out of divine energy entered his body through the brain.
The golden sun made out of divine energy got pulled from where ever it was going to go and moved on an altered path, towards its doom.
Basically, becoming nutrition for the «Art of Divination».
Feng action would make every God head burst with jealousy and hatred.
The gods fight day and night in order to collect people who will join their religions and become their devotees. All to obtain some of the ‡Divine energy‡.
But Feng skillfully wasted it upon on Art called Scripture of label.
All gods don't know about this art with a very common name. A art with such a name is usually sold on a stand or a table of two-faced people, basically called scammers.
If any God knew they would have called out to Feng Mei as a heathen. They would dare to curse only if they did not know that Feng is actually an Evil Empyrean...
He could easily be label as a scum by the worlds itself.
Feng has chosen the path of the hero And performed the actions of a scum.
Obtaining a new title by the system(Author).
The scummy hero!
