Chapter 4228 Perfect Seal
Gray Porcelain said thoughtfully, "I think I understand now. They tie up the prey first, then hand over the knife."
The book fairy smiled and nodded: "That's one way to understand it."
"Any more questions? If not, I'll continue with the sealing."
Seeing that Gray Porcelain did not ask any further questions, the Book Fairy continued the previous topic, saying, "Once this wisp of demonic divine thought has a body, then there will be a concrete plan for its sealing."
"This solution is... to trap His body."
As soon as the Book Fairy finished speaking, Gray Porcelain raised his hand again.
She wasn't annoyed and smiled, gesturing for Gray Porcelain to ask a question.
"If it's just about trapping the body, then isn't it already trapped?" Gray Porcelain remembered that the Book Fairy had mentioned that the Demon God's divine sense was now trapped inside the "Hall of Myriad Knowledge."
If it can be sealed by shackles on the body, then the powers of the immortal realm should be able to do it easily, right?
The book fairy seemed to see through Gray Porcelain's thoughts. She gently shook her head: "The trapping you understand is different from the trapping I mentioned."
Gray porcelain only refers to the confinement of His external body, which is quite simple.
But the book fairy's description of being trapped is not just about the external body, but also the core connected to that body...
"You can understand it as the mind."
Gray Porcelain vaguely understood what the Book Fairy meant. The "body" she mentioned was actually a unified concept of "fusion of spirit and flesh".
Rather than just the physical body.
"Then how can we trap His heart?" the rabbit girl asked.
Book Fairy: "This is what I'm going to talk about next, and it's the most common method of sealing. It's about anchoring His mind with faith, trapping His soul in the prison, and thus creating a sealing effect."
“Anchoring of faith?” the rabbit girl repeated softly. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she looked up sharply: “Are you referring to those proverbs we collected from the book demon?”
The book fairy gave the rabbit girl an approving look: "As expected, you are worthy of being the leader of the Rabbit Hole. You are able to lead the team to perfectly conquer multiple levels. You are indeed different from ordinary challengers."
"You're right, the Book Demon's words are the anchor of faith."
The Book Demon's Proverb is actually an important solution left by the Fairy Realm's powers for the final challenge.
“Book demons…” The book demon looked at the black leaders shrouded in dark mist in the square, a subtle emotion in its eyes: “They are actually believers created and cultivated by the cruel scholar himself.”
Everyone's gaze turned to the book demons floating in mid-air around them.
"The reason why the Abyss Demon God can send divine thoughts to all the heavens and myriad worlds, and even to the worlds that are far away, and can receive a response from the Demon God in an instant is because there is a point of faith anchor."
The strength of the Abyss Demon God is basically at the legendary level or above.
However, merely reaching the legendary level is not enough to spread faith across a vast array of dimensions.
For example, many legendary wizards were born in the Savage Cave, but after these legendary wizards went to the Source World, they basically disappeared without a trace.
Are they unwilling to send messages to care for the younger generation in the Savage Cave?
of course not.
The reason is that it is too far away... The spatial and temporal distance between the Origin World and the Southern Region is an insurmountable chasm, which limits the transmission of information.
But the Abyss Gods are different from other legendary beings; they can break through this insurmountable barrier and transmit messages quickly.
Therefore, their faith can extend from the Southern Region to even more distant worlds, and there are even followers of the Demon God in the Realm of Panic.
There are two reasons.
Firstly, it relies on the unique phase of the Abyss Plane to reach all the worlds; secondly, it relies on a solid anchor of faith as a transit station and amplifier for the extension of spiritual power.
"Although many demons have their own followers, and these followers can become anchors of faith, demons rarely use the anchors of their followers as transit stations for their hearts, because in their view, followers are not absolutely stable."
Who knows, a traitor might emerge from among the believers.
"Therefore, the only true anchor of faith that demons can trust is the servants they themselves have nurtured or created."
"Book demons are servants created by cruel scholars."
"The Book Demon's maxims are also the culmination of its lifelong beliefs. For the Cruel Scholar, they are the highest anchor of faith and a transit station for the extension of spiritual power."
The book fairy looked at the rabbit girl as she finished speaking.
"Therefore, when you defeat and imprint the Book Demon's Proverbs in the perfect completion mode, you can artificially obtain a cruel scholar's faith anchor."
"There are nine proverbs in total, and nine anchor points of faith as well." The book fairy paused for a moment, then added a digression: "Normally, I shouldn't tell you these numbers according to the rules. But since you already obtained the nine proverbs in normal mode, I can tell you now."
"When you go to the Hall of Ten Thousand Knowledges, you will find a sealing array there."
“Activating the rite requires nine faith anchors. In other words, you must imprint all the proverbs before you can activate this rite.”
"You'll find out the specific method for activating this ritual array once you get there. I won't go into details."
"In short, once the ritual array is activated, we can use these nine faith anchors to guide the Cruel Scholar's mental power to the pre-set 'sealed place,' trapping him in the present moment."
"That means you have successfully completed this level."
Hearing this, Gray Porcelain's eyes lit up: "You've already cleared the level? Is it that easy?"
It had previously thought that sealing the demon god's thoughts would involve a great war between humans and gods, but it turned out that all it needed to do was bring nine faith anchors to activate the array and it would be over.
If it's really that simple, then why not let it give it a try?
“Easy? The Book Demon Challenge is quite…” The Book Demon paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something: “Oh, I almost forgot, you already obtained nine Proverbs in normal mode. So it seems that this sealing method is indeed simpler for you.”
After all, normal challengers are unlikely to attempt the Book Demon challenge in normal mode.
Even if they actually take the challenge, they'll probably adjust their strategy after discovering that "imprinting" can only be done in perfect mode, and wait until they can go to perfect mode before attempting the challenge.
Therefore, the fact that the Rabbit Hole Squad managed to collect all nine proverbs in normal mode was completely beyond the Book Fairy's imagination.
However, what the book fairies didn't know was that the main reason they chose to obtain all the proverbs in normal mode was because this level involved "gods." In order to obtain more information and to decide whether to continue challenging perfect mode, they needed to learn about the gods through these proverbs.
In addition, getting used to the Book Demon's fighting style in advance will make it easier to deal with the Book Demon when you encounter it in the perfect clear mode.
"So, after we reach the perfect completion mode, we can go directly to the Myriad Knowledge Prison Palace to activate the sealing array?" After Gray Porcelain finished speaking, he looked at the Book Fairy with expectant eyes.
If someone else had asked that question, the book fairy probably wouldn't know what they were thinking.
But she did know a little about gray porcelain.
Especially now, with its expectant look, it's hoping to get confirmation from the Book Fairy: as long as you get the nine proverbs in normal mode, you can skip the challenge with the Book Fairy in perfect mode.
Unfortunately, the idea of gray porcelain "avoiding war" does not exist.
"No, although you have obtained the nine proverbs, your proverbs are not anchors of faith. Only after being imprinted can they be considered anchors of faith in the judgment of the immortal realm's powers and be used to activate the sealing array."
In other words, after the Rabbit Hole team completes the perfect run mode, they will have to challenge the Book Demon nine more times.
As soon as the book fairy finished speaking, Gray Porcelain wilted and turned to Angel: "Then, if we're going to go then, I'll still challenge the book fairy on the third floor..."
The book demon on the third floor, having already gained combat experience, will be relatively easy to defeat again.
However, before Angor could respond, the book fairy poured cold water on it again: "You have all been through the book fairy's test, so you should have seen that they fight by using books. They use whatever book they summon to fight."
"And the books they summon are random..."
In other words, if a book demon can be challenged twice, the same book demon may summon different books each time.
The previous battle might be about "Fire Mastery", and the next battle might be about "Water Mastery".
Therefore, even if Gray Porcelain still chooses to challenge the Book Demon on the third floor after going to the perfect completion mode, the final battle method may be completely different.
"Randomly summon books to fight?" Gray Porcelain froze upon hearing this.
It can't take shortcuts anymore.
"Then can I just hold onto one anchor of faith?" Gray Porcelain asked again.
The book fairy thought for a moment and nodded: "That's fine. The more people who have faith anchors, the less pressure will be on the teammates."
"Is this also related to sharing the burden?"
Book Fairy: "Yes, you'll know the details once you go to the perfect completion mode."
After a pause, the book fairy said in a calm tone:
"These are the conventional sealing methods," the Book Fairy said. "However, as I just said, while conventional methods can seal, they cannot completely seal divine thoughts. As long as the divine thoughts leak out even a little bit, there is a chance that they will attract the attention of the Demon God's true form."
"Therefore, in order to avoid any potential problems, what I am about to talk about is... the perfect seal."
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it.
Everyone knew that the so-called sealing of the cruel scholar's "body" was merely the limit that the divine power could achieve.
Whether it's the sealing array, the nine maxims, the anchor of faith, etc., they are all solutions created by the powers of the celestial realm, and they are the only solutions it can provide.
However, the only solution for the powers of the fairy realm is not the optimal solution.
The optimal solution is the perfect seal mastered by the Book Fairy!
“I’ll still use numbers to quantify it,” the Book Fairy said. “Assuming the reliability of a regular seal is 60%, then the perfect seal you need to create is to make up for the remaining 40%.”
In other words.
Perfect sealing doesn't mean bypassing the regular sealing; it means completing the regular sealing while adding more to make the sealing reach 100%.
But how can it be perfectly sealed?
"The conventional seal I just mentioned actually seals its body. So, to achieve a perfect seal, we must not only restrict its physical movement, but also restrict the movement of its mind."
"Therefore, the essence of the perfect seal is to trap the mind of the cruel scholar."
A thoughtful look flashed across Angell's eyes. Although he didn't know exactly how to do it, the sealing concept that the book fairy had pointed out—"to imprison the body and lock the mind"—was logically sound.
However, it is very difficult to seal away a metaphysical concept like "intention".
In particular, even if the "intention" of a demon god is weak, its status is still that of a demon god. Sealing its "intention" is even more difficult.
In reality, one might be able to seal a mind through powerful supernatural abilities, various hidden spellcasting materials, and extraordinary ritual props.
But now we are in the Dream Crystal Plains.
The Dream Crystal Origin is a place where no one has grown up yet and the extraordinary system is not yet abundant.
Angel couldn't think of any effective way to seal the demon god's will.
Not only Angell realized this, but the rabbit girl also understood: "The will of the Demon God is probably of an incredibly high level. With our current abilities, can we really seal it?"
The Book Fairy said, "You're right, His will is indeed very difficult to seal. That's why I suggested you leave temporarily, prepare outside, and then enter to seal it."
Rabbit Girl: "Even if we go out and make all the necessary preparations, it's still difficult to seal it off given the current situation, isn't it?"
“It is indeed difficult, but your world should have a lot of unfamiliar knowledge. Perhaps you can find knowledge that cruel scholars cannot solve, or cannot solve in a short time.” Book Fairy: “As long as you can do that, it’s fine.”
The book fairy's words stunned everyone.
They assumed the book fairy wanted them to go out and prepare various sealing materials. But what she actually said was…
“Knowledge?” Angel frowned, subconsciously linking ‘knowledge’ with ‘seal’, unable to immediately grasp the connection between the two.
The book fairy looked at Angel and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's about knowledge. As the team's intellectual leader, you should understand that scholars, once they encounter knowledge that interests them, will frantically study and delve into it."
Angell nodded, "That's true."
It is a well-known pattern that politicians are eager for power, soldiers are convinced of the power of force, and scholars are devoted to knowledge.
"Ordinary scholars can be 'sealed' by the knowledge that interests them, and they will continue to work tirelessly for decades without producing anything of note."
"And what about cruel scholars?"
"The Cruel Scholar, as the ultimate scholar, is also a mad scholar. He is keen on plundering knowledge and spreading transformed doctrines... For him, knowledge is the driving force of everything."
"Therefore, sealing His will is actually very easy. Just throw out a hook called 'knowledge' to Him, and He will take the bait."
"However, it's easier said than done."
"As the divine thought of the cruel scholar, it retains both the cruel scholar's fervent pursuit of knowledge and the ability to understand and analyze knowledge."
The cruel scholar plunders the knowledge of countless worlds; the knowledge he possesses and masters is arguably deeper than the bottomless abyss.
Knowledge is indeed the best bait to catch Him.
However, if it is knowledge that He already knows, or knowledge that He can easily analyze, He will not take the bait at all.
Therefore, the only way to lure Him, to use knowledge to seal Him, is through knowledge that He has never seen and cannot decipher in a short time.
If such knowledge were given to Him, He would stay put and study it in depth. Combined with the original sealing array, He could achieve a 100% perfect seal!
