Chapter 532: Chapter 458 God Wants Xilan to Return to the Earth Again (Extra Double-Chapter)

Belvan nearly abandoned sleep and meals for the research in his hands; his originally orderly life was disrupted by his passion for research. He was so engrossed in the Ancient Language, seeking the intangible connections between them, that he often stayed up late into the night, to the extent that his students Kagu and Prince Mura had to substitute for him in his classes.

The Alchemist’s enthusiasm for the Ancient Language was unimaginable, and his mood was equally volatile. The originally gentle and scholarly demeanor was temporarily gone, replaced with impatience, restlessness, and eagerness. He had changed entirely—he even scolded the palace servants for cleaning the study room, venting his frustrations.

But it was all worth it.

Under Belvan’s day and night efforts, he had not only verified the descriptions in the Nameless Book one by one, but he had also preliminarily identified the early parts of two God-created Paths, and roughly outlined the range of Ancient Languages of these two paths.

Every moment, Belvan felt fortunate to have obtained that Nameless Book, yet regretted having only one. His fortune lay in being able to infer many secrets of the Ancient Language from the book’s descriptions without spending a great deal of time on trial and error. Since ancient times, who knows how many scholars of the Ancient Language had fallen at the step of trial and error, without achieving anything.

His regret was that he had only one book. According to the author of the book, he had written a full forty Nameless Books, signifying that the God-created Paths were not just God’s grace, but also a test and transformation for mankind, just as Prophet Noen had found the Ancient Elf Kingdom after forty days.

To fully understand the God-created Paths, having only one book was far from enough; many of the records within were isolated evidence, beyond Belvan’s ability to fully prove.

What he could do was to construct a framework with what he knew and had discovered.

After extensive research, Belvan had a rough grasp of the early parts of both paths, naming them: the Path of the Passerby and the Scholar’s Path. For the former, he deduced three Ancient Languages, respectively meaning "Silence," "Observation," "Travel." The latter required more, with five Ancient Languages, respectively meaning "Study," "Carefulness," "Curiosity," "Observation," "Patience."

It’s evident that there were repeated Ancient Languages between the two paths. Belvan noticed this and it gave him a great insight, which he recorded in his manuscript as an axiom:

"Where paths are close to each other, there must be shared Ancient Languages, there must be shared understandings."

After writing this, Belvan reverently placed the sheet of manuscript on top of the pile.

These days, the Alchemist had written thousands of manuscripts, not including various drafts. Even though they were all on linen paper, the cost would still come to several Gold Coins.

In his few moments of rest, Belvan would proudly gaze at his desk, where piles of manuscripts bathed in sunlight. Sooner or later, he would compile and bind them into a book and leave a simple word on that cover...

"Path."

Belvan did not know.

This simple name would later become a discipline, its brilliance the most dazzling presence in the study of Ancient Languages.

When future scholars mentioned Belvan,

They often say,

At that time, people were really too young,

So that the recognition of the new era could be summed up in a single book.

Belvan had made progress in his research, the first to know, of course, were his apprentices.

"Teacher, why do you divide the roads into seven levels?"

Prince Mura couldn’t help asking.

In Belvan’s preliminary theoretical system, he divided the different advancements of the God-created Paths into seven levels.

"Because the Gods themselves are divided into seven levels."

Belvan patiently explained to his students,

"We are the pioneers of this path; I must tell you, as for the God-created Paths, we are very ignorant.

Because of our ignorance, the priority is to first recognize it, understand it, dividing it into seven levels is just a tool for understanding."

At this point, Prince Mura couldn’t help but express his concern:

"What if the tool for understanding is wrong? You know, we really don’t understand much about the God-created Paths."

Belvan laughed heartily and, stroking his beard, said:

"Even the worst tool is better than no tool at all."

The teacher’s words made Prince Mura suddenly realize, yes, even the worst tool is better than none. Even if there are mistakes, it’s not the end of the world; plans can be made later.

"Teacher, have you tried the Ascension Ceremony?" freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Prince Mura, struck by a thought, asked curiously.

Belvan shook his head and said:

"Not mature yet, not mature... I’ve only done a few small experiments, plus the descriptions in the book, to roughly sketch out an Ascension Ceremony.

I haven’t really tried it... According to the book, attempting Ascension is not an easy path; on the contrary, it’s narrow, difficult, and full of hardships. One small misstep could cause you to lose yourself in the depths of the soul."

As an Ancient Language Scholar, Belvan had several times thought about trying the Ascension Ceremony, but he always held back because of the warning in the book.

Without being absolutely prepared, Belvan wouldn’t risk his life, for once it’s gone, he couldn’t continue his study of Ancient Languages anymore.

"Teacher, Kagu seems quite interested in the Ascension Ceremony. He has shared with me privately and wants to try something. Perhaps he could make a lasting name for himself."

Prince Mura mentioned casually.

Belvan shook his head, with a hint of reproof:
