Chapter 51: Ch 51 : The Divine Library

All the humans and elves in the Citadel of Veridia greeted every demigod who came to their city. Apart from Nova, the most eye-catching was the demigod of the Titan race, Goliath. His towering pressure was the greatest after Nova’s, a fact that was clear from the sheer size of the massive creature. The reason for all these races visiting the Realm of Advancement was simple. When their respective demigods told them about the realm and the battle that was about to happen, they all wanted to take part in it. They sought to fight alongside their allies and earn high status for their races. The Dragonborn’s reason for coming was also simple: they had assumed their role as the protectors of Veridia and wanted to walk the same path as their ancestor, Nova. All the demigods relayed this information to Sunny, and he gave them permission to go without thinking much, as he wanted all the races to combine sooner or later. It had been about five hours since the demise of the previous system, and through the constant flow of messages in the God Chat, Sunny earned a huge amount of faith points every second. Still, this was not Sunny’s biggest source of faith. It wasn’t even the life forms of Veridia. The largest source of faith came from Shenlong. Shenlong had now saved many life forms in the Realm of Advancement—life forms that felt abandoned by their own gods found the hope they required through Shenlong. He helped each and every life form he met during his travels. All the life forms Shenlong saved now formed a cult, assuming Shenlong as their new god and praying to him every day. The prayers from these billions of life forms provided Sunny with a huge amount of faith points. Thus, Sunny currently possessed 14 billion faith points, of which 500 million came from Veridia, 6.5 billion from the God Chat, and the remaining from Shenlong. Sunny now had the time to manifest his next faith source the Divine library. the Divine Library. It was not a place built of stone or wood, but of pure knowledge and celestial light. A serene nexus where the wisdom of all ages converged. The architecture was grand yet ethereal; towering archways seemed to be made of solidified starlight, and the floors shifted with the constellations. The shelves did not hold books in the traditional sense. Instead, they were filled with glowing motes of light, each a single thought, a recorded memory, or a complete history of a world. When a seeker reached for a specific piece of knowledge, the mote brightened, and its contents were instantly transferred to their mind. The library was silent, save for the gentle hum of countless truths. In the heart of this library, Sunny created the first holy book of his religion: "The Genesis." Inside "The Genesis," there were deeds of Sunny creating life in Veridia. They were exaggerated in such a way that they felt unreal and mystical, but that is what made this book a holy book. This book currently had seven verses, each representing a godly day that Sunny spent as a god. The first verse talked about the creation of life, detailing how God Cosmos created life in Veridia and how he used his powers to evolve life to create humans on that same day. It also consisted of his first misfortune of oxygen depletion and how God Cosmos solved it. It even told about the god’s visit to Veridia and how he appointed Thorn as the leader. The second verse consisted of the evolution of elves, his second misfortune of an increase in mana levels, and how Sunny created basic magic techniques and body refining techniques for the life forms of Veridia. The third verse contained the third misfortune of hygiene and how they should always take care of it. The fourth to sixth verses only held some history of Veridia and how the demigods were created, and how the revolt happened because of Demons, how Nova defended Veridia and how the revolt was taken care by Umbra and Thorn It even talked about Nova, the first demigod, Umbra, the demigod of shadows, Loki, and Shenlong, and then Thea. The seventh verse contained information about how God Cosmos saved different races from different parts of the universe and gave them the home and protection they required. Sunny then manifested a divine embryo and began to think of what shape to give this new demigod. He thought for a few seconds and decided to go with the description of the "Seers" from a novel he had read. They possessed a similar build to humans, but the only thing that set them apart was that seers were blind and had many talents related to wisdom, fate, and seeing the future. Sunny designed it as a human male, with a white beard and eyes covered with a white blindfold with golden patterns. All the demigods reflected the thoughts Sunny spent on making them. For example, Nova reflected the arrogance of a dragon; Umbra showed the shyness of Shadow; Loki reflected the mischievous nature that Sunny wanted; and Shenlong reflected the magnanimous and kind nature to help all life forms. Similarly, the newly created demigod reflected the knowledge of epochs, ancient and wise. As for the talents, Sunny decided to give it the talent "Preserver of Knowledge." All the knowledge that is created and found in Sunny’s territory will automatically be learned by this demigod. It can preserve it in the Divine Library as a ball of light, which can be transmitted to anyone with his permission. The second talent was "Wisdom Master," which gave him great wisdom. This ability differed totally from Thea’s "Omni-Cognition," as it provided Thea with computing power that could analyze and run simulations. The "Wisdom Master" talent gave the user great wisdom, which helps in innovating and discovering new things. The third talent was "Soul Plucker." This talent was the most important part of this demigod, as it allows it to pluck the soul of any life form into the Divine Library for a fixed amount of time. In this time, the life forms can learn many things from this library. After giving the demigod these talents, Sunny named him "Isiah." With a single mental command, Isiah came to life. Suddenly, all of Veridia was covered with an intricate web of ethereal energy. This was because of the "Preserver of Knowledge" talent; these intricate webs inserted a huge amount of knowledge into Isiah’s mind every second. Sunny sent Isiah to take care of the Divine Library. The Divine Library was situated in a subspace on Veridia, as Sunny could not place it directly inside the God Space, as it would create a huge time difference between Veridia and the library.
