9 Seven True Gods

The first floor of the library was reserved for the juniors in the first and second year of high school. Bai Yu went straight up to the second floor.

On the whole floor, only one person could be seen from several tables away. Not everyone would come to the library to learn. Without the guidance of a teacher in class, it was very easy to have the opposite effect if one learned incorrectly.

Adding on the fact that the library was huge, it made the place even more spacious. In fact, the number of students who self-taught in the library was less than the number of social warriors.

Bai Yu comfortably found a seat and sat down. At the same time, he officially began the elite mission!

He spent eight hours in the library studying!

"Let's start with the last volume of Introduction to Mysticism."

This was the last volume that was provided for Mysticism in high school. Although it was an elective course that will not be included in the exam scope, Bai Yu still considered it a fun read.

A steady man would not slack on such things.

Bai Yu picked up a thick book from the bookshelf and attentively got to work.

He had to be 100% focused when studying!

Especially for a subject like Mysticism!

"The seven gods protected the entire Azure planet, but there were many evil gods lurking in the dark. When ordinary people come into contact with their ravings, they will go crazy and even become abnormal..."

Bai Yu was slightly startled.

On the title page of this Mysticism book, it began introducing a few gods from the start.

He knew that there were rumors of gods being in this world.

Turns out it was not a rumor, but true gods did exist!

However, there seemed to be a gap in the history of the world. Before the glorious calendar began, which was about a thousand years ago, gods rarely appeared in the eyes of the world.

In the end, even miracles rarely happened.

The seven gods were recognized by the entire continent as positive gods. Only the seven positive gods could openly establish churches on the continent.

The other secret organizations were widely regarded as heretics.

"The God of Steam and Machinery, the Fool, the Goddess of Harvest, and… Why aren't the last four not mentioned?"

Bai Yu was stunned.

He had tried searching for this information before, but he could not find any information about the seven gods on the internet.

This was also the most puzzling part of it all. The seven gods were the true gods recognized by the government, the people, and the entire empire. They had countless believers and churches, but he could not for the life of him find any information on the internet.

This time, he was surprised to find records about the seven gods, well a few of them at least.

It seems that there were very few records about gods.

'Okay, just calm down.

'At least some of them were recorded. The God of Steam and Machinery actually drew a circle first and then crossed it. By the way, which genius came up with this holy title?'

Bai Yu dared not to say it out loud, but he could only curse in his heart.

The gods could not be blasphemed, and no common citizen could casually mention the gods' name in vain. Otherwise, it was very likely to cause some uncontrollable changes.

For example, attracting the attention of the gods. Although this possibility was very small, it was still a possibility that could happen. At that time, there would be no time to even prepare for the funeral.

Gods could not be looked at directly, and could not be probed!

'It should be fine to complain in my heart, right? God of Steam and Machinery. I'm not complaining about you, it's just that your holy title seems like a mouthful."

Bai Yu quickly drew a circle on his chest.

He was not a believer of any god, but now that he had the opportunity to understand the holy title of their church and some basic prayers and methods, Bai Yu naturally would want to take that chance.

Time flew by quickly without him noticing.

Although there was not much content, it was not an easy thing to remember everything. Many things needed to be learned repeatedly, or one might forget it in a blink of an eye. This had nothing to do with memory. Anything related to transcendence could not be measured by common sense.

Three hours later, Bai Yu closed the book and shut his eyes, calming down the messy, dark, and depraved thoughts that arose from reading all sorts of secrets.

"After three hours, I didn't hear a single raving or break off midway. Is it because of the genius system?"

Looking at the time, Bai Yu fell into deep thought.

Reading books on Mysticism for three hours was a terrifying thing to do. Just by understanding the knowledge related to Mysticism and understanding things related to gods could make people feel upset. Bai Yu had to stop after learning and memorizing for a period of time.

While reading this knowledge, one may also be affected by the ravings of the void from time to time.

Usually, Bai Yu would also be affected by the ravings. This time, however, he was not affected at all during the reading process. His mind was clear and there were not a single bit of ravings.

"Looks like it's because of the system. I was on time for the mission, so I guess that means I can finish everything according to plan?"

It was as if Bai Yu had discovered a new world. If that was really the case, then he would not need to hold back.

[The seventh volume of Introduction to Mysticism has been completed. Comprehension level 100%!]

An electronic synthesizer sounded in his mind.

Having a comprehension 100% meant that he had memorized most of the content.

The efficiency Bai Yu had was surprisingly high.

It was already ridiculous to be able to remember 10% in three hours let alone 100%!

Bai Yu put down the book in satisfaction and prepared to continue his enjoyable journey of reading.

To his hindrance, when he raised his head, a terrifying and familiar face came into view.

It was Yue Zian!

Actually, two hours ago, the number two student had already arrived at the table opposite Bai Yu. He stared at Yue Zian blankly, and he looked terrifying. Now, Yue Zian's expression could be seen more clearly with the light shining from the window.

His eyes were bloodshot, and two dark circles hung on his face, making him look like a panda. His entire face was devoid of blood, like a poor man who was on the verge of death.

"The f*ck, are you planning on becoming a live corpse?"

Bai Yu was shocked.

Yue Zian shook his head, there was wisdom in his eyes. "I only slept for eight hours in three days. I am at my peak.

"As expected, you must have been working hard in secret to achieve today's results. 

"Heh, you've been reading for three hours. You should have reached your limit by now. It seems like my presence here is pressuring you.

"You came to the library just to tell me this?"

After making sure that the other party did not show any signs of distortion, Bai Yu was finally relieved.

"Of course!

"Perhaps others might not understand, but to me, continuous learning is the most important thing. 

"No matter how strong the obstacles in front of me are, I will not back down. 

"I, Yue Zian, will definitely surpass you one day!"

Yue Zian's eyes were burning with competitive flames.

Bai Yu shivered with goosebumps.

Could it be that this b*stard was a world-leading character in this story?

Seeing the other party's blood boiling, Bai Yu quietly moved aside.

Id*ots were contagious.

He silently pulled out another book on the bookshelf next to him, it was about the unbreakable bond between mysticism and warriors, and carried on studying.

"Hey, hey, you've already read for three hours, how can you still go on?"

Yue Zian's expression did not look right.

"I asked the lady to give me eight hours, of course I can't waste the remaining five hours I have left," Bai Yu replied in an idiotic tone.

Yue Zian's face darkened. Even if he used his life force, he could only last for four hours at most, and he had to stop constantly to calm himself down during that time.

Could this guy really read for eight hours with all kinds of negative emotions being shoved into his mind?
