CHAPTER 94: CH 94 : THE DIVINE LIBRARY

"Seer Rem?" Light whispered the name to himself, his voice a quiet murmur in the stillness of his room.

He had seen the system panel flash with the name of the sender, and a wave of profound hope washed over him.

"Did I finally gain a chance to enter that place?" He slowly opened the chat, a sense of anticipation building in his chest.

[Seer Rem: "You are chosen to enter the divine library. I will be your host and caretaker during this time]

Light immediately replied, his fingers trembling with a mix of excitement and reverence. "Thanks for giving me this chance. I would follow all of your arrangements, Seer Rem."

He knew who the seers were. They were a special race created by the demigod of knowledge, Isiah, and were further divided into three parts.

The Managing Seers handled the immense library, sorting out knowledge, arranging it in order, and keeping it safe.

The Host Seers, like Rem, were blessed with the talent of Soul Plucker, and were responsible for bringing the souls of life forms to the Divine Library and guiding them.

The Knowledgeable Seers were the ones who tirelessly collected knowledge from all over Veridia with the help of the Preserver of Knowledge talent.

With high hopes, Light lay down on his bed and awaited the seer.

All life forms in Veridia were aware of this process; the seers only took the souls, while the body remained on Veridia.

It was a norm for them to select a comfortable position for their body while their soul was away.

Thus, Light was also doing things according to the tradition, laying himself down in a calm, peaceful state, his mind already racing with the possibilities.

A cool, unseen breeze entered his room, and with it, he suddenly felt a gentle pull.

It was not a physical force, but a spiritual one, a strange tugging sensation that lifted him out of his body.

He looked down and saw himself lying there, his body a familiar, sleeping form.

Then he looked at his hands and feet; they looked ethereal, made of shimmering light, like a small breeze could blow him away.

He looked up, and a beautiful girl, with one hand on her waist, her other hand emitting a strange force, was pulling him towards her.

"Greetings, Light. You are the first life form to be so calm in the soul state," Rem said, her voice a melodious whisper.

But Light didn’t listen to a single thing she said. His mind was in a state of epiphany, a new and profound understanding of the soul.

"What a strange and gifted child," Rem said, a genuine smile on her face. "Thank God, I was the one who found this guy first."

The reason for Rem’s happiness was simple: as a host seer, it was her task to find and host the best possible candidate, a candidate who was going to contribute to Veridia and the empire.

The more he performed well, the better her merits would be.

Yes, Sunny allowed even the apostles to earn merits from their work.

His goal was also to allow the life forms to earn merits through their contributions, but decided against it as it would take away all his faith points.

Instead, he created another method for the life forms, which was the system currency.

There were currently three currencies to use in the system.

The first was the Faith Points, a currency of Gods. The second was the Merits, a currency of demigods and apostles.

The third was the Cosmic Coins, a currency for the mortals.

The key difference between these was simple and easy to understand.

The Faith Points were used by Gods to manifest anything or buy different services through Thea.

The Merits were used by demigods to buy new talents, manifested items, and movies, novels, and other stuff to increase their imagination for the new powers they would choose.

The third and latest currency, the Cosmic Coin, was like online money to buy stuff from each other.

They were set in such a way that one cosmic coin was equal to one mana stones, with the circulation of more than ten billion cosmic coins.

And they can exchange for more cosmic coins from Thea using mana stones.

This system was many times more portable and easy than bartering and using mana stones.

Back to Rem and Light.

Rem carried the soul of Light to the Divine Library. The library was filled with glowing orbs all over the hall, and the ends of the hall were not even visible, as if it was a never-ending hall.

After an hour or so, Light opened his eyes and looked all around him. His eyes stopped at Rem, and he said, "Greetings, Seer Rem. I apologize for all the wait."

"No worries, you had eight hours in the library and you already used an hour, so you now have 7 hours left," Rem said, chuckling.

"Damn, I should get moving then," Light said, and started moving towards the shelves.

Rem kept her eyes on him and laughed in her mind.

After a few minutes, Light returned and said, "Seer Rem, can you help me find these books?" He then told her the topics, and Rem, this time, listened to each and every request and took Light there.

After seven hours of collecting knowledge on all kinds of techniques and spells, Light finally heaved a sigh.

"The knowledge here is so vast, even my lifetime would fall short to learn all these," Light said, as he looked at the time on the system panel.

"The seven hours already ended. Where is Seer Rem?" He said and looked around the library.

Today, he had learned over 50 spells and many fighting techniques in just seven hours.

He walked around the library, and after a few minutes of walking, he found a door.

He didn’t wanted to touch something in the divine library, but curiosity got the better of him, and he knocked on the door.

Suddenly, a deep and calm voice sounded from the inside, "You may enter, Light."
