"This is the method for a perfect seal."
After the book fairy finished speaking, everyone present was shocked.
After the initial surprise came a long period of contemplation.
After a while, the rabbit girl broke the silence first: "From a psychological and behavioral perspective, the 'perfect sealing method' mentioned by the observer can indeed restrict the actions of a mad scholar to a certain extent."
"However, I have a question."
Book Fairy: "Please speak."
The rabbit girl pondered, "This method of using specific knowledge to entice cruel scholars essentially hands over the power of choice to the cruel scholars. Can this really be a method of sealing?"
Her true form possessed the ability systems of many worlds seen through the Sea of Empty Mirrors.
Many of these systems possess extraordinary abilities capable of achieving a "sealing" effect.
However, the essence of these sealing techniques is to forcibly deprive or suppress the right to choose of the sealed person.
For example, if you catch a rabbit in the wild and put it in a cage, you are depriving the rabbit of its right to choose its own freedom.
For example, if an elemental being, in a fit of rage, decides to self-destruct and perish together with its enemy, but its energy core is sealed and it has no energy support, it cannot even entertain the thought of "actively dissipating," let alone self-destruct. This also deprives it of its own right to choose.
In other words, the sealing technique essentially deprives the sealed person of any choice, or prevents them from exercising their right to choose.
The book fairy's method of restricting the demon god's thoughts and actions through knowledge does not deprive Him of His right to choose. Is there really no problem with this?
The rabbit girl continued thinking along these lines: Suppose they really did find a kind of knowledge that could hook the cruel scholar's mind, and as expected, he became engrossed in the study of that knowledge.
However, because it was only a wisp of divine thought, even though it had the cognition and knowledge of a true body, its computing power was greatly reduced due to the lack of a physical body to rely on, which made it unable to decipher the inner meaning of this knowledge.
In this situation, is it possible that He suddenly gave up the research, or suddenly realized something along the way and decided not to work alone, but to change the research method: find other people to calculate together, find more information, or directly ask the original body for help?
Once He has any of these thoughts, He can completely break the so-called "perfect seal".
Because this seal doesn't deprive Him of any right to choose.
“Your concerns are understandable.” The book fairy looked at the rabbit girl approvingly. “However, demons are not ordinary people and cannot be completely understood using conventional methods.”
In Rabbit Girl's view, even the most eccentric scholar, if he finds that he cannot solve a problem on his own, will definitely think of seeking external help, whether it is searching for information, finding professional tools, or asking for help from others, which will disrupt the so-called balance.
But this is still conventional cognition, an inertial extension of self-cognition.
The perceptions of demons and gods are different.
"For ruthless scholars, the pursuit of knowledge is not a choice, but an instinctive obsession etched into their minds—an obsession so strong that it can devour all other thoughts."
Seeing that everyone was still confused, she gave an example: "Like a wild beast that is starving, it will only have eyes for its prey and will not think about whether to ask its companions for help to catch it or whether there will be any danger."
For a ruthless scholar, the unknown is the 'prey'; once encountered, all of his consciousness is occupied by it, leaving no room for any other thoughts.
Simply put, as the Great Demon God of the Abyss, the Cruel Scholar has a priority order in his "thoughts," with the pursuit of knowledge always being the top priority.
It could even be said that this is the underlying code of His action logic, which cannot be changed or overstepped.
This is an ancestral law, and it must never be changed!
It is precisely through this unchanging underlying code that He was able to rise from a knowledge-hungry little devil to a renowned demon scholar whose fame resounds throughout the world!
"But He is a demon god, not a beast!" Gray Porcelain couldn't help but interject. "No matter how deep his obsession, shouldn't he have some basic considerations?"
“It is precisely because He is a demon god that this obsession is more extreme.” The book fairy shook his head. “Mortals’ obsessions are influenced by reason and weighing pros and cons, but a demon god’s obsession is ‘existence itself.’ The core reason why He is a cruel scholar, rather than other demon gods, is this ‘obsession that only recognizes knowledge.’”
After refuting the book fairy's argument, the book fairy changed the subject again: "Of course, cruel scholars are not entirely inflexible. If a certain kind of knowledge really needs to rely on external forces, they are also capable of seeking external forces."
"But don't forget we still have the sealing array."
"The sealing array left in the Prison of Omniscience not only imprisons His body, but also has a special effect... amplifying His obsession with knowledge through the words of His servants."
This is why the nine maxims repeatedly mention: formulas, inscriptions, manuscripts, truth, enlightenment... These are not only meant to point to the ruthless scholar, but also to "amplify" His obsession with knowledge.
Originally, even without the so-called sealing array, the cruel scholar's inherent obsession with the pursuit of knowledge alone could have controlled Him for quite some time.
Now, thanks to the amplified effect of the sealing array, He can be completely "undistracted"!
"So, you can put your concerns aside for now." The book fairy looked at the rabbit girl.
At this moment, Gray Porcelain raised his hand again: "Even amplifying an obsession cannot last forever. You said it yourself, it will also change. When the effect of the obsession disappears and it starts to seek external help, won't it still be finished?"
The Book Fairy did not deny Gray Porcelain's statement, nodding: "What you said is correct. There will indeed be a moment when obsessions are completely worn away. However, that belongs to the future and the next stage."
"It may be a situation that needs to be considered hundreds or even thousands of years from now."
Such a long timescale allows for a great deal of change.
Let's start with the Sealers:
"If you still haven't found a way to completely eliminate this wisp of demonic divine thought hundreds of years from now, then I feel that you probably don't deserve the reputation of being the top team."
Although the book fairy's words sounded derogatory, everyone felt quite comfortable hearing them.
Yes, let alone hundreds of years.
If they still can't find a way to resolve this wisp of demonic divine thought decades or even ten years from now, then they shouldn't stay in the Dream Mirror Organization.
There's no way to solve it now, simply because everything in Dream Crystal Plains is in its infancy, in the pioneering stage.
When the future arrives, and all the ability systems are perfected, and all sorts of magical artifacts appear in abundance, that wisp of demonic divine thought will definitely not be a big problem.
Angel nodded silently: Centuries later, perhaps the powers of the Fairy Realm will have grown to a more powerful and complete level...
At that time, they might not even need to take action; the power of the fairy realm will be able to resolve all the hidden dangers on its own.
Gabriel then spoke up: "If we really have hundreds or thousands of years, let alone dealing with this wisp of demon god's divine thought, I could even curse and kill the demon god himself by then."
The book fairy smiled and said, "I like your confidence."
"See, as long as you can seal Him from the three aspects of body, mind, and will, even if you can only seal Him for a few hundred years, it can be called a perfect seal for you."
Moreover, the variable of time does not only apply to the sealers, but also to the sealed ones.
Can a wisp of demonic remnant spirit, without external support and constantly consuming its own inner essence, sustain itself for hundreds of years?
Hard to say.
Even if they manage to hold out for hundreds or thousands of years, the divine power of the demon gods will likely be extremely weak by then, making them much easier to deal with.
Therefore, as long as they can "perfectly seal" Him now, without revealing any trace of His aura or attracting the attention of His true form, time will always be on their side.
After addressing these potential concerns, everyone's focus naturally returned to the main objective: the perfect seal.
The essence of a perfect seal is very simple, but it is very difficult to execute.
Because the Cruel Scholar possesses so much knowledge that being able to bestow the title of "scholar" upon the true name of a demon god is enough to demonstrate how profound His knowledge is within the temple of knowledge.
“Finding knowledge that can pique His curiosity and make Him willing to study it madly is too difficult, isn’t it?” Gray Porcelain said.
It did not mention the matter of being afraid of battle again at this point.
Because, as far as it stands, the sealing of the demon god has not yet triggered the keyword "cowardice." In fact, in its own mind, fighting the book demon might be more frightening than sealing the demon god with knowledge.
That's why the level of enthusiasm for discussing it has also increased.
“You’re not quite right about that,” the book fairy said. “Actually, you don’t need to worry too much about arousing His curiosity. As long as it’s knowledge, He has no taboos and will accept it all with a smile.”
"In His philosophy, even the most common and mundane knowledge can be connected with some extremely profound knowledge, and may even inspire inspiration."
"Therefore, if you are looking for knowledge that can perfectly seal Him, you don't need to deliberately look for things that will arouse His curiosity. As long as it is knowledge that He has not yet collected, He will accept it. Even if the knowledge is very vulgar, such as theft, He will accept it without hesitation... Of course, knowledge related to theft is just an example I gave. Cruel scholars will not reject the art of theft, but I believe that His knowledge of theft is definitely more profound than that of many peerless thieves."
So, now the question arises.
What knowledge do they have, or rather, what kind of knowledge can they find, to seal away the cruel scholars?
"The most profound knowledge I can think of is Gleipnir's stargazing and astrology," the rabbit girl said. "Even though Gleipnir once tried to teach me systematically and shared a lot of knowledge with me, I still couldn't get the hang of it."
Everyone has their own talents and inclinations. Just like astrology, some people can't even get started, while others can play astrology like a pro.
The bunny girl is someone who has absolutely no talent for astrology.
It could even be said that even Laplace's original form might not possess astrological talent. However, as beings of the Mirror Realm, they can create time-space entities, and Gleipnir, who possessed astrological talent, filled that void.
"Stargazing and astrology..." Angell: "I don't know much about that, but I think even though it's obscure, it shouldn't be something you can't find in the multi-dimensional world, right?"
After all, there are celestial warlocks among wizards.
As a demon god of the abyss, the Cruel Scholar must have studied human wizards, and it's highly likely that the special profession of Celestial Warlock wouldn't have escaped his research.
"Culinary skills, extraordinary culinary skills!" Gabriel exclaimed, "I once saw a glimpse of time in a mirror within the Dark Mirror Realm. In it, an old man in human form was cooking something that attracted countless giant beasts from the void, including creatures as large as continents!"
Using special culinary skills to herd beasts in the void was definitely one of the most shocking scenes Gabriel had ever seen, so when he was asked to associate it with special knowledge, this was the first thing that came to mind.
Skills are also a form of knowledge.
"Cooking skills are quite common, aren't they?" Gray Porcelain said. "Even cooking skills capable of herding beasts are not uncommon."
“That’s a special culinary skill! A special technique!” Gabriel retorted.
Gray Porcelain curled her lip: "No matter what, isn't it still within the realm of cooking? Anyway, I think the Cruel Scholar must have researched the relevant knowledge, or at least included it in his records!"
"Besides, you saw that special cooking technique through time travel images. Who knows how many years ago that was? Even if it really works, where are we supposed to find that kind of skill?"
Gabriel choked, indeed, he could not refute the last point that Gray Porcelain mentioned.
Gabriel: "Then what knowledge can you offer?"
Gray Porcelain shrugged: "Of course I can't say, but that's not the problem. The problem is that we simply can't assess the Cruel Scholar's knowledge base!"
Without knowing the knowledge base of cruel scholars, it's impossible to accurately determine what knowledge to seek.
Gray Porcelain mentioned this point, which is indeed the most frustrating and difficult issue for everyone right now.
Suddenly, Gray Porcelain seemed to realize something and looked at the Book Fairy: "The Observer knows so much information, so maybe it also knows..."
Before it could finish speaking, the book fairy gently shook its head: "I don't know about the Cruel Scholar's knowledge base either."
Upon hearing this, Huici's expectations were dashed, and his head drooped.
"However, although I am unaware of His knowledge base, I can offer you some advice."
All eyes turned to the Book Fairy.
With a smile, she said, "Don't focus on the commonly circulated knowledge; instead, choose the knowledge that is kept secret."
Gray Porcelain: "But we don't know which knowledge is kept secret, do we? And even if it is kept secret, cruel scholars might be able to obtain information from special channels and conduct research."
The book fairy nodded: "You're right. As long as traces are left, cruel scholars have a chance to study them, but the probability is relatively small."
"As for the 'secret' knowledge I mentioned, you may have misunderstood. I was referring to specialized knowledge created privately."
"Just like..."
The book fairy suddenly stopped talking, her fingertips hovering in mid-air.
Everyone could tell that she wanted to give an example, but even though the words were on the tip of her tongue, she stopped, her eyes darting around as if she was hesitating whether to say what was in her throat.
Finally, she sighed and said, "Take me for example."
“I once studied book demons and then created…book spirits.” Her gaze fell on a glowing white leader nearby, which was a book spirit.
With a gentle beckoning motion, the book sprite hopped and skipped to her side, where she embraced it.
"The Book Spirit's creation technique is unique to me. Although the technique itself is not difficult, and it originated from the Book Fairy, a servant of the Demon God, I believe the Demon God will definitely be able to research it in a short time... But even so, it is still a specialized field of knowledge, and at least in the beginning, it will not be known to the Cruel Scholar."
