Of course, based on the annual physical examinations, the blue-eyed whale is clearly in a state of 'sub-health', and its theoretical lifespan is estimated to be only 70% of its original lifespan, which is about 1,400 years.

Furthermore, this theoretical lifespan will decrease more and more rapidly over time.

The reason is known to everyone.

Upon seeing this, Nems immediately frowned.

"It's down to only 70%, and every hundred years, that 70% multiplier will decrease." Nemus's words carried a hint of resentment.

This is his floating whale!

These people are so ungrateful for the environment and for the floating whales that nurture and sustain them; they are truly guilty!

Jiali nodded to the side.

She was a high-ranking member of the land-grabbing faction, and even one of the few leaders.

The most important point for land grabbers is to protect their own land.

The fact that Nemes was able to get angry when he saw this information shows that he was aligned with the enclosureists.

This time, Guilliman was punished and banished for failing to discover the Twin Demons' scheme.

However, in that kind of battlefield, as long as he can persevere, his stats can improve exceptionally quickly.

The Son of God he provided for the church has now truly taken on some of the features of the Son of God, which can be considered a meritorious service to the church.

Later, I might be able to use some of my power to ensure Killieman's safety there.

Once Nemus grows up, the church may truly have another top-tier fighter who is no less than a saint.

At that time, this southern region might be able to stabilize somewhat.

The joy on Jialisi's face flashed briefly and quickly disappeared.

The overall situation in the entire prime material plane is not good at the moment.

The Discipline Church was originally quite good, but more than a hundred years ago, the God of Discipline sent a secret decree to the Pope.

Significant changes occurred within the Discipline Church, which began to plan for war.

Four years ago, the Discipline Church dispatched a small number of its top experts into the Abyss to lay out plans, and then launched a war against the Abyss.

As a result, the God of Discipline is now in a deep slumber, with only some instinctive responses belonging to the gods remaining.

Meanwhile, other orthodox churches and evil gods have now ascertained the situation of the God of Commandments and are gradually approaching him, preparing to take action.

The Discipline Church is under too much pressure right now and needs more top-tier combat power to gradually stabilize the situation.

Naims flipped through the various detailed records in the Azure Whale's Secret Treasury.

Meanwhile, Garice would occasionally explain some of the coded messages in the secret text to Nemus.

This is why Galis remained here after her official appointment was announced.

These church scriptures mostly contain cryptic language. Without expert guidance to understand them, it is highly likely that misunderstandings will occur, leading to some embarrassing situations.

For example, it was a laughing stock from three hundred years ago, and it remains a laughing stock to this day.

The most foolish cult leader—the leader of the Mountain Bishop, the Lord of the Earth Mountain.

The other party infiltrated the headquarters of a church and stole a secret plan.

However, after deciphering layer by layer, they finally gleaned a single sentence from the secret text: "What the gods cannot do is mold clay."

Therefore, this leader believed that God had a huge flaw, namely that God's idol was made of clay. So he used all means and resources to finally cultivate a golden seed pastor who was an expert in summoning for the church.

Then he prompted the other party to cast a divine descent.

The most foolish cult leader, upon seeing the divine descent, burst into laughter, saying that he had secretly turned the statue that carried the divine descent into a clay sculpture.

The god who has descended is now trapped inside the clay sculpture and cannot escape, so I can immediately seize the god's power.

The result is therefore obvious.

The opponent was crushed to death by a single thought of the divine incarnation that had descended from the heavens.

The true meaning of the phrase, "What God could not do, He made of clay," is that God cannot easily move in the material plane, and therefore needs to use clay.

The Lord of the Earth Mountain had actually gotten something that was common knowledge to many cultivators wrong.

Then, they invested so much energy and resources in this, and even trained a summoning master for the church, all for the purpose of making God laugh.

It must be said that he succeeded; the god who descended that day was all smiles.

The Lord of the Earth Mountain naturally earned the title of the most foolish.

At this point, Nemus also came into contact with various secrets related to the gods that he had been longing for.

These secrets are essential for a local commander.

Without this knowledge, the Grand Master, unaware of these matters, could very well endanger the floating whale and the millions of lives on its back in the face of various emergencies.

For example, if a floating whale flies for a long time, it may encounter a special kind of calamity creature—the terror cloud.

It is essentially an extremely tiny insect.

They are conceived on the earth and then drift in the sky, turning into a normal cloud.

If the floating whale fails to recognize its opponent at this moment, it will enter the terrifying cloud.

Then all sorts of strange things will happen on the whale's back—false miracles.

The most terrifying aspect of the Terror Clouds is their ability to disguise themselves; they are so tiny that they can infiltrate the grid and then send messages to the priests along the grid.

In these messages, the terror cloud will claim to be a god, thus prompting people to worship it.

Because the information is transmitted through the grid, and because there are indeed related miracles—the terrifying cloud outside can fake and simulate phenomena similar to miracles, such as sudden changes in the sky, lightning strikes, and world tremors.

As a result, many Ironborn priests are deceived.

Some gold-tier paladins are unable to directly determine the authenticity of the grid because they have difficulty interfering with it.

Therefore, at this time, a deeper understanding of God is needed to make a judgment.

【The number of the precepts is nine, nine is a sacred number.】 Looking at the divine secrets that Galis had deciphered under her guidance, even if it was just this one sentence, Nemus knew that his hard work infiltrating the church and disguising himself for so long had been worthwhile.

As Nemus came to realize this, the number of divine beings within the True Spirit changed.

Just like when I realized that fate was in control and driving things, which led to my first maxim about fate.

Now Nemus will also receive his second motto of destiny.

[When the number reaches nine, all things acquire their structure, which is called discipline, governing change...] — Tablet of Destiny

“Incomplete…” Nemus thought for a moment, but he was not surprised, after all, he had only obtained one-fifth of the divine essence.

No, it should be one-fifth of a nine.

Chapter 391 Myths and Pitfalls

The number nine indicates that this rule of precepts appears in the ninth position.

Zero is the initial mud, without any change, a chaotic void.

The transformation from zero to one signifies the emergence of destiny, which is the primary driving force. Or, conversely, destiny is the primary driving force of this world.

Therefore, destiny is supreme, governing the operation of the entire world.

It can be basically determined that the earlier the number appears, the more powerful it is.

The number of the God of Discipline is ninth, while the number one, the number of destiny, does not exist in the God of Destiny.

Therefore, it can be roughly determined that the God of Discipline ranks high among all the gods.

No wonder the God of Discipline dared to confront the Abyss head-on.

You should know that even some demon princes dare to claim that they are no weaker than gods.

If a god were to enter the abyss, then the demon prince would truly dare to confront that god.

If the gods are not strong enough, they might actually suffer at the hands of the demon prince.

The Will of the Abyss, as the sum of the Abyss, is as unfathomable as its name suggests.

The fact that the God of Discipline dared to take action indicates that He at least had a certain degree of confidence in victory.

Furthermore, from the perspective of the Prayer Angels, the Abyss Will relied on Nemus's special soul as a key point to completely defeat the God of Discipline.

"If mastering the ninth digit is so powerful, then what about the digits before it?" Nems's thoughts began to wander.

This can actually be seen from the top-tier features.

Origin, destiny, spacetime...

The source material is very likely a power characteristic derived from the primordial mud.

As for fate, there's no need to elaborate.

"So, is spacetime number three?" Nemus guessed, but because he hadn't obtained enough information.

Since one cannot form a stable understanding through this, nor does one possess any numbers related to time and space, one cannot obtain any maxims about destiny regarding time and space.

Like other characteristics, without the corresponding medium, even if one knows the relevant knowledge, or can roughly deduce its number, there is no way to obtain the corresponding destiny motto.

"I'm already lucky to have obtained two maxims related to fate and discipline from this portion of divine power I've acquired," Nemus said, suppressing his greed.

Then continue watching the church's stories about God's secrets.

These secrets were meant to broaden the Grand Master's knowledge, ensuring he wouldn't be misled by any strange or unusual forces.

The more Nemus learned, the clearer he realized the preciousness of the portion of divine power he had obtained.

At the same time, we have gained a clearer understanding of mythical creatures, mythical species, and deities.

The ultimate number of species is the mythical species, and this is no exaggeration.

In the mythical age of this world, any life form born at that time is now called a mythical species.

Their number is all in the thousands.

According to the secret, as the number continues to grow.

The world then transitioned from the age of mythology into the golden age.

During the Golden Age, mythical creatures ceased to be born naturally.

However, the children born from the mythical species are a special case. They are neither mythical nor superior to the golden species.

Their species number is, to some extent, subordinate to the mythological species.

They have a clear subordinate relationship.

Therefore, the offspring of this mythical species are generally considered to be mythical creatures.

Just as the Source Whale is a mythical species, the Floating Whale, whose size and stats are significantly higher than those of the Gold species, is a mythical creature subordinate to the Source Whale.

These words did not mention any deities.

However, Nems had a general idea.

According to the prophecy of destiny, number one is destiny, and number nine is discipline.

These are not life forms in themselves, but rather a set of rules governing the world.

Therefore, it is very likely that some of the numbers mentioned earlier did not actually form a living entity.

These mythical beings, whose names are among the first thousand, acquired the relevant numbers and thus gained the corresponding authority, becoming deities.

"Judging from the current situation, the number of true gods is estimated to be around sixty... So it's the first hundred, which is a number similar to nine, a divine number?" Nemus thought.

Considering that not everyone receives this number, or that some deities possess more than one copy of the number.

It is reasonable to roughly estimate that the number of the top 100 is somewhat special among the sixty righteous gods.

Just as the first thousand numbers are mythical species.

Nems kept thinking about it and memorized the information.

At the same time, our understanding of the world has become more comprehensive.

Besides these, there are various interpretations of doctrines related to precepts, related secret techniques of precepts, and so on.

As Nemus looked at these things, he was certain that if he could understand them, he could further develop the functions of his divine nature.

At the same time, the accumulated power of faith can also find many new uses.
