172: Wizard Will's Notes

When the Hero arrived on this continent, he felt his heroic life was fruitless, he had nowhere to start, and he began to doubt himself.

As the Demon King, after growing tired of grinding monsters for a long time and finding no more joy in it,

you decided to seek some excitement yourself.

This was to reactivate your seemingly rusty body and mind,

and to gain new insights to confirm the direction of your future "Divine Path."

You arrived at one of the three forbidden lands of the Crimson Continent:

the Bloody Plains!

It is rumored that gods and demons died here.

But you know that's not a rumor; it's true!

When you arrived in this world, you were given information about it.

Many gods and demon gods died in this world,

slain by evil foreign gods.

The Abyssal Demon Realm calling a god evil sounds like a joke,

but it also proves how terrifying these foreign gods are.

You investigated the divine path of the foreign gods, hoping it would help you.

But too much time had passed; there were no longer any traces of the foreign gods, nor were they remembered by the world.

So you decided to visit the place where gods died.

The Bloody Plains,

a forbidden land on the Crimson Continent.

It is overrun with ferocious beasts, cruel, bizarre, and terrifying in appearance.

However, with your immense skill and courage, you fearlessly stepped into what ordinary people considered a forbidden land.

Among the deceased demon gods you knew about, you quickly identified this dead demon god as:

The Bloody Demon God!

A demon god who loved to shroud all living beings in crimson and create rivers of blood!

Cruel and perverse.

But he still died in the end.

Even after his death, he found no peace; the demon god's blood spilled, transforming the once Bloody Plains into a forbidden land where ferocious beasts roamed and roared.

Countless insane beasts wantonly devoured their kin and wantonly exuded malice.

If it weren't for the fact that the Bloody Demon God's fallen place was where they felt most comfortable,

the continent would have long been ravaged by the rampant beasts.

This was your first time entering a dungeon-like area.

It was novel.

But while the beasts were incredibly powerful to ordinary people, they were weak to you.

Even this so-called forbidden land had no impact or obstruction on you whatsoever.

Although you didn't know if the Bloody Demon God had reached the second stage of godhood,

as a god yourself, you felt no pressure facing the corpse of a dead god.

You swept through, and the beasts brought you a lot of kill value.

Eventually, you found a laboratory.

It contained the Bloody Demon God's divine authority and rank,

along with several research logs.

The logs stated that he squatted at the entrance of the Abyss, fishing, and reeled in a massive creature that called itself a demon god.

Then, after dissection and research, he replicated the Bloody Demon God's divine path.

Finally, he crushed the useless research material to death.

Those ferocious beasts were a new type of lab rat he had bred, but it seemed they were put aside before he had a chance to use them.

You looked at the research notes, a chill ran down your spine, and then your emotions began to uncontrollably surge with pleasure.

You felt that this researcher was very much to your liking, and you wanted to talk to him.

Clearly, the researcher who dissected and studied the Bloody Demon God was the foreign god, Wizard Will.

And the historical achievements of the demon gods you had learned about were very inconsistent with the true situation.

In fact, you had a feeling that this Wizard Will might not be dead at all!

Could an existence capable of treating a demon god as a fish, one who squatted at the entrance of the Abyss fishing for demon gods,

be killed by a few dead gods and demons?

You doubted it.

You packed up Wizard Will's research notes and all other useful items, then left the Bloody Plains.

You originally wanted to sink this plain with a single slap.

However, out of respect for Wizard Will, you spared the lives of these beasts.

Then, without stopping, you headed to the other two forbidden lands.

Since this was Will's experimental site,

it was not impossible that the other two might also yield some research reports.

This foreign god gave you some good ideas,

allowing you to make some deductions about your future Divine Path.

As you expected, the other two forbidden lands were also Wizard Will's rudimentary laboratories.

One was the research laboratory of the Goddess of Dreams.

The Goddess of Dreams, also known as the God of Fantasy.

She was the former patron deity of One of the Four Heavenly Kings, Lundnavi, under your command—the God of Fantasy.

This continent actually had the God of Fantasy?!

You mused, if the Goddess of Dreams in the divine realm once had believers on this continent,

then it is questionable whether this continent is still Wizard Will's world.

You couldn't help but feel speechless; these gods and demons were truly masters at altering history!

Finally, you acquired a laboratory from Wizard Will's research on a Hero.

The heros heart of this researched Hero had transformed into a heros heart, even surpassing the divine authority and rank crystals of the Goddess of Dreams and the Bloody Demon God.

If your predictions were correct, this Hero should be the heros heart of the legendary Over-Hero in the divine realm!

The Hero who stood shoulder to shoulder with the Eternal Demon King.

Alright, now there's no need to discuss whether the Over-Hero is dead or alive anymore!

This age-old problem has been confirmed by your own eyes.

The poor Hero actually became a material on the operating table of a madman's laboratory.

What good news for the Demon Realm!

Of course, it might also be terrifying news for the gods.

You also found the personal diary of this Over-Hero, the Chasing Light Hero.

It roughly describes a chuunibyou youth, following the script of a Son of Destiny.

Awakening SSS-rank talent, he swept through everything, making friends everywhere.

He even successfully romanced his superior goddess, the Goddess of Dreams.

Achieving his dream.

Finally, he lived a shameless life.

It was simply a glorious life's notebook, full of boasting and pride.

Unfortunately, he probably never imagined that his final moments would be spent in a madman's laboratory.

A glorious life met a desolate end.

At the same time, from the pieced-together research notes, you learned that this foreign god, Wizard Will,

followed the Divine Path of Knowledge Seeking!

He pursued truth and believed in reality!

He took knowledge-seeking as his path, and while upholding the fundamental path of knowledge-seeking, he also desired to encompass the Great Dao of Omniscience!

Moreover, on the path of knowledge-seeking, whatever he knew, learned, and understood the principles of, he could manifest and use.

Omniscience, and then Omnipotence!

Will's ambition was immense!

But he also possessed absolute rationality, knowing what to seek at any given period.

In Will's research notes, his free-flowing thoughts were often interspersed; he would always think of various things.

Such as, on the path of pursuing truth,

reality is the teacher.

Under the grace of the Tree Ancestor, the branches of knowledge-seeking grew.

After you understood Will's way of thinking, which far surpassed gods and demons, and his vast ambition,

and then compared him to the gods and demons who played games of divine and demonic chess, and the Hero and Demon King game,

if anyone tells you that Will is dead, that the foreign god overestimates himself,

you would only think that this god or demon, even if he is a god or demon, is an idiot!
