The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

"My leg?!"

Cole exclaimed in surprise, instinctively taking off her black stockings and looking at her legs. The scales that had been becoming increasingly prominent were now much lighter in color.

Even the bespectacled official next to him stared in disbelief, even though he had previously spoken casually, saying that Demon Scale Disease was just a minor illness.

However, in Sumeru, this disease has actually troubled many people, and the incidence rate has been increasing in recent years. However, the scholars of the Academy City have not been able to come up with a cure and can only try their best to delay the worsening of the disease.

To Cole's disappointment, although the Demon Scale disease had faded considerably, it had not completely disappeared; upon closer inspection, traces of it could still be seen.

This means that the disease will continue to worsen over time.

Even so, it surpasses the efforts of all Sumeru scholars; at least they could not alleviate the Demon Scale Disease to this extent.

The bespectacled official looked at Bai Zhi with envy.

Is this the power of the gods? Humans have tried their best but failed to achieve this, yet the gods simply touched their heads and accomplished this.

If His Majesty the Great Sage's plan can be completed...

"That's all we can do, Cole. Thank you for the delicious food. This is just a small favor I can offer you."

Thank you so much!

Cole was excited; this was something she had never imagined. She had thought that she would slowly become a vegetable due to the disease, but now her condition had been relieved so easily.

Even if it gets worse in the future, at least the length of life has been extended, and I can experience the feeling of being healthy again.

"Honorable guest, you have come to visit Sumeru for the Void Terminal, right?"

The bespectacled official couldn't stand it any longer; he felt he should do something.

To not seize even a fraction of such a powerful force would be a waste of a divinely granted opportunity.

"Of course, that should have been mentioned in the relevant documents."

Bai Zhi nodded, affirming the words of the bespectacled official.

"You've come to the right place. The most amazing thing about our Sumeru is this Void Terminal. It can not only help our scholars learn more efficiently, but also transmit information and speed up our Sumeru's scheduling. As the representative of Liyue, you have a discerning eye to recognize its value."

"However, just my words certainly cannot demonstrate even a fraction of the Void Terminal's capabilities. Fortunately, I have a spare Void Terminal here. You can take it and try it out to gain a better understanding of it."

As he spoke, the bespectacled official took out a leaf-shaped object, resembling an earphone, from his pocket and presented it to Bai Zhi with both hands.

Bai Zhi gave the bespectacled official a meaningful look. This guy is so attentive; there must be something fishy going on with this void terminal.

Let alone that they wouldn't dare to harbor any thoughts about the demon god, these guys from Sumeru are all incredibly daring. Take that Great Sage, for example, who imprisoned the Grass God and created a god. This is not something an ordinary person could do.

Compared to these two, tampering with this void terminal is perfectly normal.

But Bai Zhi didn't expose the other party. Instead, she smiled and took the Void Terminal, then put it on her ear.

"Alright, let me experience the wonders of this void terminal first."

She wanted to see what kind of trouble this void terminal could cause.

The moment she put it on, a futuristic UI unfolded in front of Bai Zhi, followed by various operating interfaces like a computer.

It has to be said that Teyvat's tech tree is truly outrageous. Although Sumeru looks quite retro overall, this thing that is roughly equivalent to a brain-computer interface is already very advanced. Although it doesn't have various apps like a mobile phone, it still has the necessary functions for uploading and downloading, as well as some website-like features.

She could even see all sorts of announcements on it, filled with various policies of the Sumeru Cult.

"Huh? That void terminal has been activated?!"

In the office of the Great Sage of the Council of Commandments, Great Sage Azar suddenly widened his eyes as he looked at the notification that popped up on the Void Terminal.

He gave that special Void Terminal to the bespectacled official, indicating that he should find an opportunity to put it on the Geo Archon.

Of course, he was just looking for an opportunity and didn't have high expectations. He was focusing on making this idea happen when the Rock God came to visit the Order of the Sea. He would host the event and accompany the Rock God, using the excuse of letting the Rock God experience the Void to get the Rock God to wear it.

But unexpectedly, the chess piece that was placed casually actually succeeded.

This is a rare opportunity.

Thinking of this, the Great Sage quickly began to operate the console.

In that void, some special devices were implanted that could be used to scan the brain structure of an organism.

He had used this device to scan the brains of some people and copied them into a special network formed by the void to serve his own purposes.

Now, he was trembling with excitement at the fact that he could use this device to copy and scan the brain of a god.

As for whether the Rock God would notice, he had already thought about that. Anyway, the Rock God had never experienced the void. If he asked later, he could just answer that it was normal.

After all, this thing directly displays the image on a person's retina and scans your brain to adapt the solution, so it's normal, right?

Great sages are all intoxicated by their own wisdom.

"But... could there be any danger in what's inside this demon god's head?"

After much deliberation, the great sage decided to find a few people to share the burden, so that he could have a buffer if he received too much information.

"This feeling..."

While carefully examining the object, Bai Zhi suddenly sensed the fluctuations emanating from the void terminal.

This fluctuation was trying to invade her mind and take something away.

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow.

"As expected of you, Great Sage..."

But instead of stopping the wave from invading, she deliberately stuffed something into it.

And what is this thing?

It was really just a vague memory of Nanook's glance at her when she first received the Blessing of Destruction.

The image of Nanook was not preserved; only the destructive intent attached to Nanook's glance was preserved.

This destructive intent is undoubtedly a great tonic for those destined for destruction, leading them to a path of greater strength.

But what would happen to someone who hasn't yet reached that destiny, if they received such an abstract intention of destruction? Bai Zhi wasn't quite sure.

138 The Great Sage, Still Trembling with Fear

"Okay, it's been scanned!!"

Upon seeing the notification that popped up on the Void Terminal, the Great Sage Azar's face lit up with joy; it had actually succeeded.

Although he knew that the power of a god did not come solely from the brain, it didn't matter; he had already created the god's body, and all that was needed was a suitable core.

The core of this is, of course, the executor of the Fools—the skirmisher.

However, he wasn't entirely at ease with that guy, after all, that skirmisher had his own ideas.

If we could use a model of a god's brain to create a simulated god's brain structure, then perhaps we could create a god who would completely obey us.

What an exciting scene!

However, when the transfer button popped up, Great Sage Hazard hesitated for a moment.

As a great sage, his academic theories were quite solid, and he knew that everything concerning the divine required extreme caution.

In particular, since it may contain divine consciousness or related elements, it requires even more stable research.

Taking a deep breath, the Great Sage Hazard looked at the several extra people who had appeared in his office.

These people are essentially his agents, shields in front of him. They review and filter the relevant knowledge and data layer by layer before finally transmitting it to his mind, so as to prevent him from suffering greater harm.

Considering the consequences for those who used the divinely infused knowledge, Hazard felt that his decision was very wise.

After checking everything and confirming that everything was perfect, the Great Sage Azar clicked to transfer the data.

At the moment of activation, the entire Sumeru region felt a slight tremor, as if an earthquake had occurred.

The sky also changed color, revealing an extreme blackness, an eternal blackness carrying a terrifying, yet restrained, force. Fortunately, it quickly returned to normal, as if it had just been an illusion.

"...Nanook's light glance had such power?"

Bai Zhi shook her head. She felt that she might have misunderstood the existence of the Star God a little bit. It was just a blurry shadow in her mind, but it almost caused the void terminal to explode when she was outputting the power just now.

She had to actively restrict it, blurring it to almost one-thousandth of its original size, before it could be sent out.

Even so, the world of Teyvat has shown such a clear reaction.

"I wonder what it will be like for those who receive this glimpse of the celestial being?"

Bai Zhi's face showed an expectant expression.

The Great Sage Hazard also wore an expectant expression.

Everything was going so smoothly that he could already see on the progress bar that those who acted as his shields had already downloaded most of the file.

The impatient Great Sage Azar didn't have to wait long before the progress bar quickly jumped to 100%.

Seeing this, the Great Sage walked over to the tank-like figures and asked gently, "What did you see?"

"I..." The member of the Order of the Church, acting as the first line of defense, bulged his eyes, bloodshot rapidly filling them. "I saw it! Haha, the truth of the universe! The ultimate fate of everything is destruction—planetary, world, sun, everything will perish..."

His body radiated a golden glow, but this golden glow did not bring warmth and healing; instead, it seemed like a dangerous and unstable source, making people feel cold and panicked.

He began to scream wildly, and golden beams of light emerged from his mouth as it opened and closed, gradually spreading to his eyes, from which golden light also emanated.

The great sage was greatly alarmed when he saw it.

He was not unfamiliar with knowledge about gods; after all, most of the knowledge about gods in their jars had been confiscated by the Order of the Church.

This knowledge might drive those who come into contact with it insane, but it wouldn't turn them into such a terrifying state.

But then, his heart started pounding again.

The mere contact is enough to produce such an effect; how powerful would it be if one could control and utilize this power?

Thinking of this, he did not cut off the network of the church personnel, but continued to try out his filtering plan.

After so many resilient people filtered this information many times, what they conveyed to him should be quite harmless.

Even if some remnants remain, he believes that as a great sage, he is capable of enduring them.

He was well aware and accepted that to gain power, one had to pay a price.

Soon, the first person to receive this knowledge could no longer withstand it, and even the Eye of God he wore suddenly exploded after emitting a brilliant light.

"The world will eventually be destroyed..."

Leaving behind these words, the person who served as the first line of defense vanished into nothingness amidst the dangerous golden light.

He was taken over by the second tank, and when that scene entered his mind, he immediately calmed down.

The great sage asked cautiously, "How are you feeling right now?"

The man looked at the Great Sage with a blank expression, uttering, "Destruction, there is nowhere to escape..."

Then, pieces of his body began to peel off, replaced by a hard, black shell, and his blank eyes transformed into pupils filled with destructive desire.

Within those pupils, it seemed as if a dying light was burning.

This made the great sage's eyes widen, because the moment he was seen by those eyes, he felt as if his heart had been terrified by something terrible.

My thoughts seemed to have been banished to the universe, where everything around me was constantly being destroyed. The sun was collapsing, planets were dying, and the whole world was falling into a state of chaotic death and destruction.

No matter what we do or what we try to save, it's just another step closer to destruction.

Because the world is chaotic, any activity only accelerates the process of destruction; only by annihilating civilization and everything else can ultimate annihilation be prevented...

“Hmmmm aa ...

The great sage clutched his head and cried out in pain.

This was certainly not because of his extraordinary will, but because the energy of the person in front of him was not enough to support him in transforming into a phantom. So, halfway through, this person turned into nothingness, which indirectly saved the Great Sage's life.

Even so, the terrifying imagery of destruction terrified the great sage.

"How terrifying... how terrifying! Such destruction! I need even greater power. If I'm powerful enough, this kind of destruction won't be mine!"
