"The second supernatural law is the law of supernatural entropy increase...Supernatural properties will not be destroyed, but will only be transferred from one carrier to another. They will not decrease, but will only increase."
Speaker Azgiel Luo said calmly.
"However, the world will develop from order to disorder, and eventually to irreversible destruction... This is the complete 'Law of Extraordinary Entropy Increase'."
"From order to disorder, and finally to destruction?"
Chen Lun was shocked.
The Speaker nodded.
"Looking back at the past few eras, the direction of the world has strictly followed this law."
She then brought the subject back.
"Then the question remains, where does the extraordinary power come from?"
Speaker Azgiero slowly raised his hand.
"There is only one answer, and that is pollution!"
His originally normal palm slowly turned into arthropod-like sharp claws covered with black thorns. Chen Lun suddenly felt a pollution spreading towards him. Even though it was mostly blocked by his own mysterious resistance, the strong feeling of suffocation did not decrease, and his sanity decreased accordingly.
The Speaker unfolded part of his mythical creature form!
“When a transcendent travels on the path of God, it is essentially a process of constantly absorbing pollution. Once they complete the transformation, ascend to the holy position, and become mythical creatures, they themselves will become a terrible source of pollution… Rather than saying that transcendent power comes with pollution, it is better to say that transcendent power is just a gift of pollution.”
She then restored her sharp claws to their original shape on her palm and sighed:
“Mortals seek transcendence, seekers pursue knowledge… But the truth is that pollution seeks the carrier, and knowledge pursues humans. Most people don’t know this, but they still enjoy it.”
Azgiero sat on a high seat, his hands folded, looking down at Chen Lun.
"Jack, much of the past history has been lost, and it is suspected to have been erased by a true god-level existence... It is unrealistic to trace the source. Even I don't know where the source of the pollution comes from, but one thing is worth noting, that is, in the earliest era, extraordinary power existed, but it was not mastered by us humans at that time."
Chen Lun listened silently to this secret truth, with a feeling of surprise spreading in his heart.
The Speaker paused for a moment, then spoke:
"At that time, the strongest supernatural beings were what we now call 'Ancient Gods'! The source of the pollution is likely related to them... So in other words, the supernatural power is most likely passed down from the 'Ancient Gods' to this day."
"Ancient God..."
Chen Lun murmured this word, and recalled the "Son of the Ancient God" whom he and Mr. Pinghu had killed in the spiritual world. Even his own Didak Armor originated from the descendant of the ancient god.
"And the next version is related to the turmoil in the spirit world, and it seems that the source is that ancient god!"
He thought for a moment, then looked up and said to the Speaker:
"I have heard of an ancient god named 'Destedak' and killed her descendants... Could she also be one of the beings who have survived from the First Age to the present?"
The Speaker was a little surprised.
"I didn't expect you to know this secret... Yes, her honorific name is 'Father of Darkness'. She is a powerful being living at the end of the dark world. She is indeed an ancient god who has lived for five epochs."
She hesitated for a few seconds.
"The way we spread mysterious knowledge now is actually what we humans do by imitating the 'Ancient Gods'... The high-ranking people can consume the corresponding mysterious substances to record the extraordinary knowledge of their own paths on paper and spread it in a way that we humans can understand... But from another perspective, this is also a manifestation of the high-ranking people sharing the pollution with others, because at my level, I have no choice, I need to stay rational and sober at all times, and I can't even fight with others easily."
The speaker's voice was calm, but it made Chen Lun feel inexplicably creepy.
“On the one hand, more reason is needed, and on the other hand, pollution must be eliminated. Otherwise, one will lose control, fall into madness, and become an inhuman mythical monster… This forms a cycle, confirming the law of extraordinary entropy increase. The world will eventually go from order to disorder, until the end.”
"this… ?!"
Chen Lun had a look of shock on his face and didn't know what to say.
Speaker Azgiero looked at his performance, but the solemnity on his face suddenly changed and he chuckled, as if teasing a child and deliberately intimidating him.
"Of course you don't have to worry too much, Jack... The current Solar Era belongs to the Fifth Era, and only 4,400 years have passed. It is still a long way from the so-called end of the world... Even if you can see the arrival of that day, it means that you have already been promoted to an angel and become a being with infinite lifespan. I believe that you can rely on the authority of an angel to avoid disasters and welcome the birth of a new world."
"You are joking, Mr. Speaker."
Chen Lun secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice.
Azgiero gave him a meaningful look, and finally said:
"If you want to copy knowledge from other sources and spread it, you need to learn some special skills... However, there is no record of it in the Kangkai Council. First, it is indeed very precious, and second, we don't need it. If you want to learn, then I suggest that you go to the Royal City and start within the Imperial Inquisition, provided that you have accumulated enough merits."
After listening to this, Chen Lun nodded thoughtfully.
Ginsberg and others had previously suggested that he look for subsequent mythological knowledge and rituals in the official shelter in the future. Now the Speaker also recommended that he go to the Imperial Inquisition to obtain the skills of the sequence knowledge in the transcripts...
It seems that the imperial government is indeed the largest and most comprehensive force, giving people a feeling that they can get whatever they want.
"Okay, Speaker. Thank you very much for your answer... and for telling me so many secrets."
Chen Lun bowed respectfully to Azgierro.
The Speaker waved his hand nonchalantly.

Completed the main quest: Scarlet Rite!
Based on the efforts made by the Second Ring to suppress the Red Disaster, we are now calculating your contribution points...
The Red Disaster in Xuejing City of Baoshi State, Linbi City of Yan State, Songsha City of Yan State, Rongshan City of Yan State... a total of 157 cities have been cleared.
18645 low-ranking clergy have been killed...
954 middle-level priests and bishops have been killed...
Killed the incarnation of Jermaine and Rafa, the Ten-Core Archbishop of the Scarlet Monastery... Rafa's true self...
Destroyed 65 abomination fortresses...
At this moment, Chen Lun was sitting on the sofa in the living room of the winery's main villa.
The circus executives were also present.
A series of panel prompt boxes popped up, making Chen Lun secretly astonished, and he sighed in his heart that he had completed so many tasks... Although a large part of them were the red disaster areas pushed down by his Golden Cup councillors and the circus, and even the recruited players, but half of the contribution was attributed to him.
This is why the current exaggerated settlement process has emerged.
'How much contribution will it make?'
Chen Lun was somewhat expectant.
"In my previous life, I only had 0.00013%..."
After about half a minute of settlement, the final panel popped up—
Final contribution settlement: 12.85564%
Obtain the main quest rewards: 4 million experience points, 8,000 gold pounds, 30 attribute points, 10 special attribute points, 20 regional fame points and 2 blessing points!
Your personal contribution has surpassed 99.99999% of players, and you will receive extra rewards!
Additional rewards (choose one from three): 1. Mystic resistance is greatly increased (by 30% on the original basis). 2. Mystic weight is greatly increased (by 30% on the original basis). 3. Mystic accumulation speed is slightly increased (each time experience points are obtained, increase by 10%).
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows, and then showed a look of joy.
'Such a generous reward... Not only are there special attribute points and blessing points, but there are also extra rewards! '
He looked at the options, hesitant.
Mystical resistance can exempt him from more extraordinary powers, even high-level pollution, allowing him to be more at ease when facing some strange abilities... and mysterious weight can increase the priority of judgment, and also involves the invisible confrontation between divination and being divined.
'Both are good...'
Chen Lun fell into deep thought.
'However, as you advance through the ranks, the Mystic Resistance and Mystic Weight will increase accordingly. As for the last option, the Mystic Accumulation Speed... Isn't this equivalent to a permanent experience bonus card? If you miss this one, you don't know when you'll get it again.'
He secretly operated on the panel that no one else could see and chose the final "Slight increase in mysterious accumulation speed".
'That's it!'
You have chosen a small increase in the mysterious accumulation speed (10% increase in each experience point gained)!
Chen Lun noticed that on his panel, behind the experience value column, there were corresponding brackets and entries—
Experience: 400W/30W (mysterious accumulation speed slightly increased)
He couldn't help but smile.
Afterwards, Chen Lun spent all the generous reward.
4 million experience points just allowed him to reach level 10, and all aspects of his performance were improved accordingly, and he obtained 10 skill points and attribute points.
Then, he used up all 40 attribute points, 10 special attribute points and 2 blessing points.
The basic attributes become: Strength 177, Agility 178, Endurance 177, Intelligence 178, Faith 10.
Special attributes are: Charm 50, Willpower 82, Insight 71, Luck 10.
Regional popularity is 132, epic popularity is 4.
'Juggler LV35... Not far from the maximum level 50, but more experience points are required. Now it takes 400,000 experience points to upgrade one level.'
Chen Lun couldn't help but shake his head.
'There will be no major quests next, so it will be difficult to accumulate experience points... After the players log off, I won't have any more sanity points to kill monsters in Wonderland, which is really difficult.'
Close the panel.
He took out the blood diamond, then smiled and called out to the outside of the house:
"Anton."
After a while, a cow's head popped out from the gate of the villa, and on top of its head squatted a big white cat with a little hedgehog in its mouth.
"Mr. Jack, you called me?"
Chen Lun smiled, nodded and waved.
"Come here, I have found a way to help you completely subdue the bad guy in your body."
"Um?"
Antonio was stunned at first, then he shook his head happily.
"Oh hoo! Bad guy, your end is here! Antonio is finally going to be free!"
The big white cat, Bibu, held its scalp tightly, swaying like a white hat.
This caused all the cadres in the living room to burst into laughter.
