Chapter 404: Chapter 242 The Fall of the Gods, Stellaris Dims_1

“This is the Hall of Knowledge, the Gate of Truth, and behind is the statue of the God of Knowledge. I never understood why the statue looked so bemused, now it makes sense since it’s a realistic depiction. You look exactly like it, it felt so familiar from the first look. That’s why I casually asked and never thought I would trigger Truth’s Murmur. I have called upon your godly name before, why didn’t you respond? Do I have to shout your name face-to-face for you to answer?”

Auburnli was leading the way, chattering incessantly, her tone filled with resentment.

However, Negris didn’t have the mood to entertain Auburnli’s gripes. He was just staring at the intact Hall of Knowledge with an expression as if he was about to cry.

Unbelievable, the Master Plane actually still has a temple belonging to him, oh my god, his believers haven’t forgotten him after all.

“Yes, yes, they didn’t forget you, but they’re all dead. This temple was built by my teacher through countless hardships. Unfortunately, it was of no use. No matter how much we prayed, we never received a response. Everyone thought you were dead, so they went about their business. I just come to clean up every few decades as a remembrance of my teacher.”

With Auburnli’s ongoing explanation, Negris roughly understood what had happened.

Auburnli’s teacher was a fervent believer in the God of Knowledge, but said believer only emerged nine hundred years ago when Negris was sealed and thus unable to respond to believer’s call, all due to a knight novel.

A young Auburnli’s teacher once read a knight’s novel, featuring a brief description of the God of Knowledge, suggesting that praying to the God of Knowledge during exams would potentially receive his protection and ensure success.

At the time, Auburnli’s teacher was about to face the most important exam in his life, an exam that determined whether he could become an Intermediate Mage and receive a tripled allowance. So, he tried his luck and prayed to the God of Knowledge.

Since Negris was sealed, naturally he couldn’t respond to his disciple’s prayer, so Auburnli’s teacher naturally failed his exam.

However, he didn’t believe it was Negris’ fault at that time and instead thought he wasn’t devout enough since he only prayed a few times before the exam, hardly considered devout. Therefore, he believed that was why he didn’t receive a response from the God of Knowledge.

Since then, Auburnli’s teacher started paying attention to news about the God of Knowledge. Apart from acing exams, there was also Truth’s Murmur, Enlightenment Aura, Spirit Enhancement, Staying Up Late, and other practical skills. He was simply a deity born to spread knowledge.

If he could receive the protection of the God of Knowledge, he would surely become an Intermediate Mage in three years, a High-level Magician in five years, and a Great Magician in ten years.

Sometimes, once a person becomes obsessed, anything conflicting with this obsession would be subconsciously ignored. From then on, whenever Auburnli’s teacher failed an exam, he would think it was because he didn’t receive the protection of the God of Knowledge. He believed it had nothing to do with his own qualification, and even less to do with his playing around without reviewing before exams.

As for why he couldn’t receive a response from the God of Knowledge? It must be because he wasn’t devout enough, and so he became more and more manic in his worship of the God of Knowledge.

By the time Negris heard this, he was almost spitting blood, nearly killing him. Could it be that he didn’t have any fervent followers in the past due to him always responding promptly?

Promises were always kept, so the believers lost their awe. Was it that because it was too easy to obtain, it wasn’t cherished enough?

And in contrast, people like this one that couldn’t get what they asked for, thus digging deeper into their obsessions, became more manic as their obsession grew stronger?

Once a person becomes obsessed, they find the motivation to do anything. Auburnli’s teacher was only of average qualifications, but his obsession made him diligent and hard-working, eventually becoming a high-level magician.

Originally, according to the evaluation of the Magician’s Guild, he would remain at the level of Intermediate Wizard. But now, having broken through to high-level, he was a pleasant surprise.

This, isn’t it the protection of the God of Knowledge?

Okay, in a situation where Negris was completely unaware, the follower himself completed an act of God’s Grace. From then on, Auburnli’s teacher became even more fervent.

In order to spread the faith of the God of Knowledge, Auburnli’s teacher heard that there was a peninsula at the edge of the desert and surrounded by sea on three sides, where some desperate non-human species group lived and called themselves the Land of Stellaris.

Auburnli’s teacher traveled far to this place, planning to spread the faith of the God of Knowledge amongst these people. Because he followed the God of Knowledge, he drew a mental portrait of Negris through various scriptures and legends, inheriting Negris’ habit of teaching, always pointing out and guiding the beings gathered there.

Eventually, some began to learn magic from him, Auburnli was one of them.

Some people with mediocre talents were exemplary teachers, especially since he worshiped the God of Knowledge. Corresponding to Negris’ skills, he created many teaching methods.

Such as Truth’s Murmur, which he transformed into continuous nagging, nagging in front of his students every day until they mastered it.

He didn’t know whether it was a fluke or what, but he had taught quite a few outstanding students anyway. freeweɓnovel.cøm

In addition to teaching, Auburnli’s teacher also built the Hall of Knowledge, trying to get his students to also believe in the God of Knowledge.
