I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

Chapter 309 The Secrets of God, the Omniscient Demon, Teaching Sublimation and Initiation (4K)

Xue Jing tapped the table with his index finger.

"The paradox of omniscience?"

He thought about it carefully, but it seemed he had never heard of this saying before, so he shook his head.

"The author of this book is named Iyengar Wias, and he is an Indian."

Wu Youqing placed her palm on the cover of "The Paradox of Omniscience" and spoke softly.

"He devoted his life to studying extraterrestrial gods, especially those in the 'Old Genealogy,' and his achievements were immense, paving the way for humanity's understanding of these gods."

"In this book, Iyengar, based on his research on a particular ancient god, proposed a law called the Law of Omniscience and Omnipotence."

Xue Jing looked curious: "What do you mean?"

Omniscience and omnipotence... This is the highest theoretical pursuit of all beings in the world with the ability to think, encompassing all meaning and everything.

These four words were so captivating that even Xue Jing couldn't help but be moved.

Wu Youqing continued, "Iyengar proposed that the so-called omniscience and omnipotence seem to be two words and two concepts, but in fact they are one. That is, omniscience must be omnipotence, and omnipotence must be omniscience. If one cannot achieve either aspect, then the other aspect cannot be called 'omniscience'."

"This is also the origin of the 'omniscient paradox'."

"If you are 'omnipotent,' then you can easily achieve omniscience; if you can't, then you are not omnipotent."

“If you are ‘omniscient,’ then you must know the method to instantly achieve omnipotence. If you do not know it, then you cannot be called omniscient.”

Xue Jing looked thoughtful: "So that's how it is. Omnipotence comes from omniscience. If one is not omnipotent, then one cannot be called omniscient... This is the 'omniscience paradox'?"

"This paradox was posed by a special ancient god, whose name is 'The Omniscient Demon'."

Wu Youqing said.

“This is a very strange ancient being. Iyengar believed that His birth was a manifestation of the concept of ‘omniscience’.”

"...Such a grand concept should not have manifested as a god. The birth of the omniscient demon was an accident within an accident."

"The so-called 'Old Days' are superstrings that appeared when everything in the world was in chaos and ignorance, and there was no meaning. They only had a concrete form after the birth of the 'Serpent' brought meaning and order to the world."

"In other words, the Old Ones were born in a state of 'disorder and illogicality,' which gave 'Omniscient' the opportunity to exploit the loopholes and become a superstring being in the guise of the Old Ones."

“In a world without logic, there are no paradoxes, and thus the omniscient demon can be born. At the moment when the ‘serpent’ brought order and logic to the world, the omniscient demon with its grand concept should have become the supreme, omniscient and omnipotent being.”

"Therefore, He triggered the 'omniscience paradox'."

Xue Jing listened attentively like a student. Wu Youqing took a sip of tea and continued:

"Because of its own concept, the omniscient demon began to think in the blink of an eye about how to achieve 'omnipotence'."

"Then... He got stuck."

"The greatness He deserves propels Him toward omnipotence, but His own size, which is not even comparable to the 'Three Ancient Pillars,' cannot bear this greatness."

"Having achieved 'omniscience,' yet unable to attain 'omnipotence,' the omniscient demon was trapped by a special phenomenon known as the 'Paradox Prison.'"

"If we compare everything in the world to a computer, the omniscient demon is a program with a bug."

“He was born in a chaotic world where ‘any program can run’, but after the ‘snake’ brought order, as long as His ‘size’ is not as big as the snake, He cannot bypass the ‘snake’s’ order and operate on his own.”

Simply put, the old 'programs' can no longer run in the new 'system'.

Xue Jing exclaimed, "So that's how it is... The world of gods is truly amazing."

Omniscience and omnipotence, a paradoxical prison...

They're all concepts so lofty and absurd that they touch upon the most fundamental operating logic of the world.

That's fantastic!

"What is the connection between that omniscient demon and the parasitic candle that came from another dimension to find me?"

Xue Jing asked in confusion.

“Of course there is a connection.” Wu Youqing’s gaze shifted to the small, unseen and imperceptible figure pressed against Xue Jing’s body, and she sighed.

"You should understand that the concept of 'time' is not actually a thing; it is just a scalar created by humans to record the movement of matter."

Teacher Wu Youqing continued her explanation, and Xue Jing nodded.

"Therefore, the so-called time travel to the future is just a false fantasy. The only things that truly exist in this world are the past and the present. The 'future' is an unanchorable phenomenon. Even a 'god' who is a superstring existence cannot truly know the future. It is always in a state of 'unknown'."

"...So, why do you think some being from beyond this realm could prepare for over a decade, as if it were foreseeing the future, and send that parasitic candle across realms to deal with you today?"

Xue Jing frowned slightly: "You mean, this incident is related to the 'Omniscient Demon'?"

Could it be that the one targeting him is an ancient, terrifying, otherworldly god like the Omniscient Demon?

"No way... While it's impossible for anyone to predict the future in the absolute sense, as long as you have enough information, you should be able to make relatively accurate 'future calculations.' If that's the case, there should be many beings capable of doing this. What basis is there to directly target the most outrageous 'omniscient demon'?"

Wu Youqing said softly, "The basis is very simple—cross-border."

Xue Jing was slightly taken aback.

"If someone in the present world had laid out a plan to deal with you decades or even centuries in advance, it would not be surprising at all. The ability to 'calculate the future' is not too rare."

"But if one could foresee the current situation from a different perspective, things would be different."

"Existences beyond the realm... even gods, have extremely limited interference with the mortal world. Even conveying a single sentence and ensuring the accuracy of the information within it is incredibly difficult."

"Given the difficulty of even conveying a simple message by speaking, how many times more difficult do you think it is to predict events that are about to happen in the present world across different realms than to speak a sentence?"

Wu Youqing's calm and peaceful voice, which was reassuring, now made Xue Jing frown.

"So, we can basically confirm it then?"

Wu Youqing nodded and said, "Apart from the 'Omniscient Demon,' there is no other alien god that can transcend the limitations of the mortal world and forcibly seize information from it."

"If that parasitic candle crossed over to this world for you, then it must be related to the omniscient demon. Either it has designs on you, or another being is using its power."

Upon hearing this, Xue Jing rubbed his chin.

This is really bad; they've actually been targeted by such a terrifying thing.

“The troublesome ones aren’t just the omniscient demons.” Wu Youqing crossed her legs and took a sip of tea with the elegance of a queen.

"The Parasitic Candle is a servant of the God of Black Candle. As fellow beings of the Old Days, the God of Black Candle also had a hand in it. There are at least one more of them watching your existence."

Xue Jing: "..."

Wu Youqing smiled and said:

"Now, you should be able to understand how I feel a little better."

Xue Jing couldn't help but smile and nodded, saying, "Indeed, I feel the same way."

As a chosen one of the gods who was inexplicably targeted by an alien god, Wu Youqing has endured the fear of being 'disappeared' at any moment, and has come this far.

Previously, Xue Jing could only imagine what the other person felt, but he could hardly know what it felt like to have Bodhidharma on his head and the Sword of Oblivion behind him.

Now I understand a little better; it really is a bit creepy.

"But don't worry for now, the interference from outside the realm on the present world is extremely limited. Your situation is different from mine."

Wu Youqing began to comfort her softly.

"Just like this time, even though preparations have been underway since you were born, all they've managed to do is send over a mere parasitic candle. For the time being, it's nothing to worry about."

Xue Jing scratched his head: "Temporarily?"

Wu Youqing nodded and said, "Of course, you don't think that a god-level feat would only be this small, do you?"

"This is just the beginning. There will likely be many more things coming from other sectors to cause you trouble in the future..."

Xue Jing tapped his fingers on the table, making a dull thud.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled and said, "It's fine."

Are parasitic candles troublesome? I suppose so.

However, this is troublesome.

It is a great treasure that can bring four thousand divine qualities, equivalent to eight divine relics.

Many things change once you change your way of thinking.

Is some alien god targeting him and looking for trouble?

Was that troublesome? It was clearly warmth delivered right to my door.

However, all of this depends on whether he can accept this 'warmth'...

Xue Jing looked thoughtful.

He strives to become stronger, running at breakneck speed until the threats behind him can no longer catch up.

Only strength is the ultimate solution to everything.

In Xue Jing's pupils, the flame of determination burned quietly.

That's the roar of a more powerful engine.

Wu Youqing smiled gently and said with satisfaction, "It seems I don't need to say anything more."

“Ah Jing, you are the most special person I have ever met. As long as you keep going, the road will continue to extend.”

"...I'm really looking forward to it."

……

Xue Jing and Wu Youqing talked about many things before saying goodbye and leaving.

It was already 9 p.m. when I got home.

He petted the cat for a while, then rubbed the little maid's head before refusing Xue Wan's attempt to 'suck up' her brother and returning to his room.

Sitting on the bed, Xue Jing first glanced at his attribute table.
