Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 637 - 601: The Previous Generation God of Wisdom

"So tell me, what exactly are you? Since I first arrived in this world, you've been with me. I thought you were a cheat code that came with my transmigration, so I always trusted you and never thought you'd have any issues." Perfikot's tone was calm, yet there was a sense of deep disappointment in her words.

Facing such a Perfikot, the Jade Record could only reply helplessly, "First of all, the Jade Record truly is your cheat code, that's a fact."

Hearing this, Perfikot just nodded, not saying anything, showing a demeanor of 'go on, I'm listening.'

The Jade Record had no choice but to continue, "Actually, the Jade Record itself has no consciousness. This object indeed came with your transmigration, but I...or rather the Eye of Omniscience, did not."

"Wait...are you saying that the Jade Record came with my transmigration, but the Eye of Omniscience wasn't a transformation of the Jade Record? And the Eye of Omniscience was something I always had?" Perfikot was surprised, it was indeed unexpected.

The voice claiming to be the Eye of Omniscience continued, "Yes, the Eye of Omniscience itself is your right eye. It was something your parents implanted into your eye socket when they created you, an alchemical artifact also from the mythological era.

And when you transmigrated and merged into this body, I, as the consciousness of the Eye of Omniscience, took the initiative to communicate with the Jade Record, connecting the two, which is why you thought the Jade Record transformed into your right eye."

After hearing this, Perfikot finally nodded in understanding, feeling that everything made sense now.

After all, if her eye had transformed from the Jade Record, then the Jade Record before her would still be in the form of a book, which didn't quite add up.

Although one could explain it away by saying that the inner world is the true form or something, there were ultimately some parts that didn't make sense.

Now that everything was sorted out, Perfikot felt she had resolved a pressing issue.

You must know that ever since the previous godly war, she had been pondering the War God's warning, worrying whether there was really an issue with the Jade Record.

Finally having figured out the problem, she breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, she asked the voice in front of her, claiming to be the Eye of Omniscience, "Then what exactly are you?"

"I... should be considered the previous God of Wisdom." However, the next words from the Eye of Omniscience immediately widened Perfikot's eyes. She hadn't expected to hear such an answer, nor that there was a god inside her eye.

"God of Wisdom? The previous generation? Explain." Perfikot requested concisely, but her expression was no longer as stern as before.

After all, this thing had been in her eye for three or four years by now, if something were to happen, it would have already occurred. The willingness to confess now was the key thing.

Moreover, Perfikot could see that there must be a significant secret behind all of this.

...

After some interrogation and conversation, Perfikot finally understood the general situation.

Simply put, the Eye of Omniscience is a Divine Artifact created by the God of Wisdom Hermodis, and the raw material for its creation was the previous generation God of Wisdom.

Divine beings are not immortal; they can die if killed.

But for divine beings, the concept of death has a huge difference compared to ordinary creatures.

Although killed, as long as there is divinity left, there is still a chance for them to revive.

The previous generation God of Wisdom was killed, and the new generation God of Wisdom made His corpse into a Divine Artifact to cut off His possibility of revival.

At that time, the new generation God of Wisdom's approach was very successful, and the previous God of Wisdom did not revive.

However, after thousands of years, this artifact made from a generation of God of Wisdom fell into the hands of Perfikot's parents, who eventually chose to implant it into their daughter's right eye.

As for Perfikot's mother, who was proficient in human alchemy, this was quite easy to accomplish.

And so, Perfikot lived with a Divine Artifact in her eye, growing up until the incident occurred.

The previous generation God of Wisdom, imprisoned within the Eye of Omniscience, combined with the Jade Record brought by Perfikot's transmigration, successfully misleading Perfikot into thinking the Jade Record she brought transformed into the Eye of Omniscience.

Since then, although the God of Wisdom within the Eye of Omniscience had always attempted to revive, alas at that time, Perfikot's ability was truly inadequate.

He could only guide her to a certain extent in secret, trying to instill some knowledge and ideas that could help Him revive.

But Perfikot's parents protected their daughter comprehensively; her brain and mind had high-level protection, which were impenetrable barriers for the God of Wisdom back then.

Unless Perfikot lost consciousness, He could not find a way to use the power of the Jade Record to have brief communication with Perfikot.

And this brief communication obviously couldn't break through Perfikot's mental defenses to instill the idea of reviving the divine being in her.

After all, the God of Wisdom within the Eye of Omniscience had only a fragment of consciousness and divinity left, barely qualifying as a god, roughly at the same level as those Totem Poles dismantled by Perfikot.

Therefore, upon witnessing how Perfikot dismantled those Totem Poles, the Eye of Omniscience temporarily extinguished the idea of asking Perfikot to help in its revival.

If Perfikot directly extracted the last of its divinity and consciousness, then He would truly be dead with no hope of revival.

Although desperate to revive, after waiting for thousands of years, waiting a few more years didn't matter to the God of Wisdom.

Even waiting until Perfikot's lifespan ended was not out of the question.

After all, what Perfikot wouldn't do, someone else might be willing to do.

But now that the War God had exposed His existence, the God of Wisdom had no choice but to be honest with Perfikot.

Otherwise, provoking Perfikot into digging out her own eye would mean the real end for Him.

After spending these years figuring out Perfikot, she clearly knows that this lady can be truly ruthless, and digging out an eye is nothing to her. Human alchemy could even allow the eye to detach automatically, growing a new one in the meantime.

But after confessing everything, the God of Wisdom knew His fate awaited judgment.

If Perfikot was willing to help Him or just remove the Eye of Omniscience, it wouldn't be too problematic—a few more centuries, searching for a new opportunity for revival, wasn't the end of the world.

But if Perfikot didn't trust Him and wanted to destroy Him directly, then He would face nothing but the word "death."
