Lin Xun then solidified the Relic, raising his Soul Enhancement once again.

To his surprise, he discovered that solidifying the Source of the Apocalypse into a Relic led to a Soul Enhancement that gave Flesh Authority a considerable boost.

To be precise, Soul Enhancement actually provided a certain degree of amplification to all of his current authority powers. It was just that Analysis Authority and Chaos Authority were still too weak at the moment, so even if they were amplified, he could not clearly perceive it.

As for Flesh Authority, after his long period of training and the two enhancements from Beginning of the Holy Spirit, his level of control over it had undergone a qualitative leap compared to the other two authorities. That was why he could now clearly sense it when he gained Soul Enhancement again.

The answer the servant analyzed for this was that the Source of the Apocalypse, the so-called Relics, and even the Analysis Authority bestowed upon him by The Book of Salvation were all imitation versions simulated by The Book of Salvation.

The former simulated a god’s godhood, while the latter simulated a god’s authority.

Compared to the copying and replication of Omniscience’s Omniscient Authority, this kind of simulation had both advantages and disadvantages. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Its advantage was that so long as that god’s godhood and authority were within The Book of Salvation’s range of cognition, it could consume a vast amount of fuel to simulate them.

But the disadvantage was also extremely obvious. The upper limit of the simulated power had long since been fixed in place.

For example, the Flesh Authority Lin Xun had obtained was of the supreme grade, while Analysis Authority was of the immortal grade. If no unexpected circumstances occurred, he would forever be unable to raise these two authorities beyond their respective limits.

This drawback also existed for Omniscient Authority, but once Omniscient Authority copied something over, it was a complete version of that power. It could even perform secondary analysis to make the authority display might stronger than the enemy’s.

The simulation of The Book of Salvation, on the other hand, was like giving the Apostle a seed of power with a fixed upper limit, requiring the Apostle to raise and strengthen it personally.

Lin Xun also tried using Analysis Authority himself to analyze the reason behind all this.

The reasonable answer he got was that what The Book of Salvation hoped for was that Apostles would use their own innate authority to reach that transcendence no one had ever attained.

Rather than walking a road others had already walked once before, proving again the futile act that others had already proved to be a dead end.

The authorities bestowed by The Book of Salvation were equivalent to sidearms. They allowed Apostles to gain another combat method and display greater power, rather than putting the cart before the horse by focusing on strengthening sidearms instead of improving one’s innate authority, the main weapon.

After analyzing this answer, Lin Xun asked the Servant of Knowledge about it. When he received an affirmative reply, he understood what road he should take in the future.

To him, whether it was Analysis Authority or Flesh Authority, they were merely two of the many weapons in his arsenal. Only Chaos Authority was the arsenal itself.

There was no need for him to keep raising Analysis Authority and Flesh Authority. He only needed to improve Chaos Authority.

Because according to the servant’s analysis, when Chaos Authority was strengthened to +16, meaning when it reached the level of a main god, Chaos Authority would transform into Chaos Dominion.

Once authority transformed into Dominion, the rule-like concept in its description, you can control all authorities, would be brought fully into play.

The many sidearm authorities within the arsenal that was Chaos Dominion would rise together with it, and could even break through their original grade shackles, such as immortal or eternal.

“It’s really too absurd… Chaos Dominion even comes with the unique effect of the Visage of the Leader.”

Lin Xun could not help sighing deeply.

Over the next few days, he also met up with Rona and Bennett offline.

More accurately speaking, it should have been an AR call and still could not count as a true offline meeting.

That was because if he wanted to define the two of them into reality, his current Chaos Authority was still far from capable of doing it. He needed to coordinate with the servant to make it possible.

Rona was now the highest leader of the school. The task assigned to her by the Servant of Knowledge was to exterminate the remaining Veiled Aberrations in the world inside the book and help Lin Xun gain Divine power.

With the servant’s cooperation and assistance, plus the full mobilization of the numerous Scholars from both schools, Rona spent only a few days gathering all the aberrations in the book world together and nurturing a mythic grade Divine item.

Lin Xun had never increased his Divine power this easily before. In one go, he raised his Chaos Authority to the height of +9.

He had no choice but to sigh that cheats really were awesome.

If he had advanced normally in The Book of Salvation, who knew what year and month it would have taken before he could gain two more mythic grade Divinities.

It was also worth mentioning that Lin Xun found scenes of the subterranean Abyss demon race in the Book of Illusory Knowledge.

Omniscient True Knowledge had extracted the souls of all living beings from the world, and even preserved the heretical believers from the enemy camp.

Perhaps in Omniscience’s conceptual understanding, just as the servant had said, It had never regarded the Abyss and the stars as enemies. Or rather, the Abyss and the stars had never been worthy of being Its enemies.

Whether the demon race should now be erased altogether depended entirely on a single thought from Lin Xun.

His attitude toward that group of demons was quite complicated.

From an objective standpoint, the two sides stood in opposing camps and were enemies through and through.

But from a subjective standpoint, the demon race still regarded him as the leading figure who would recast the glory of their race. To be honest, having once fought alongside the demon legions, he did not have a bad impression of them.

After Lin Xun and the servant put their heads together, they quickly found a perfect solution.

In the servant’s words, since the true Lord was going to become an existence like The Book of Salvation, how could It not have battlefields for travelers to strive and struggle in?

The servant could separate the page of the subterranean Abyss into its own section and turn the chapter of the subterranean Abyss into a beginner tutorial stage for travelers.

And with the protection of the Book of Illusory Knowledge, even if monsters of the demon race died in battle, their souls would not truly die, but could be reborn and revived.

Because they would not truly die and could not produce any real gains, they were perfectly suited to serve as a beginner tutorial stage.

The Servant of Knowledge even completely shared the permissions of the Book of Illusory Knowledge with Lin Xun and had him personally design the beginner tutorial.

Lin Xun thought to himself that although the future travelers might all be veteran Apostles poached from The Book of Salvation, using the hell-difficulty Chapter Seven as their beginner tutorial stage was honestly still a bit too absurd.

After all, not everyone had monstrous strength like his.

Fortunately, the permissions of the Book of Illusory Knowledge were indeed overpowered. Lin Xun could use those permissions to suppress or raise the demons’ strength, allowing the game’s difficulty to fluctuate up and down within a certain range based on the traveler’s own strength.

The Abyss demon chapter was only the first step of the plan, and the beginner tutorial was only meant to let travelers adapt to some of the mechanics of the Book of Illusory Knowledge that differed from The Book of Salvation.

Its fundamental purpose was still to allow travelers to produce more resources, work for Lin Xun, and provide fuel for the operation of the Book of Illusory Knowledge.

A beginner tutorial stage clearly could not achieve that fundamental goal. Lin Xun needed more dungeon worlds to fill into the Book of Illusory Knowledge and turn into chapter stages.
