Chapter 768: Chapter 418: The Red Altar, Eye of the Chief Divine

The sunlight slanted down, shimmering over Lake Patzcuaro. The majestic Qinchongcan City stood at the lakeside, and the brand-new Divine Might University symbolized a vast future.

In the ancient myths of the Prepetcha people, the Patzcuaro Lake region was the driving force of the world’s rotation, and Qinchongcan City was the center of the world. At this moment, in the words of the King’s Divine Revelation, on the shoulders of countless future giants, Central American civilization’s exploration of the world’s laws would be reborn in a new form, nourishing the light of science amid religious beliefs!

"I hope that one day, this place will become the birthplace of modern science in the entire human world!"

Xiulote smiled, watching the young apprentices below the altar, his face full of expectation, silently contemplating. These Divine Revelation Priest apprentices were mostly fifteen to seventeen years old. Their minds, active and unbound by traditional thoughts, and their worldviews not yet formed, made them much more moldable than the adult priests...

The King pondered for a moment, then announced loudly.

"My students! Whether you understand or not, listen patiently to my teachings, learn the Mystery of Deities! Once you qualify and leave from here, you will be my students, my disciples!"

Upon hearing the King’s words, hundreds of apprentices were momentarily silent, then burst into excited cheers. The cheers resounded warmly through the university, like the rolling thunder before the arrival of spring rain.

Xiulote’s face beamed with joy as he looked at the enthusiastic young faces, feeling a sense of belonging as the head of the university. Just as saplings need nurturing to grow, so too does conferring the identity of a disciple to a Divine Revelator serve as an effective encouragement and protection.

The Divine Revelation Priest in charge of recording stepped up to the altar, respectfully presented the recorded teachings, and asked the "Divine Revelator" to review them. Xiulote glanced over them, nodding slightly. Seven recorded "Mystery of Deities" unfolded, laying the foundation for natural science. These "Mystery of Deities," seemingly mystical and profound, would be concise and straightforward in future language.

First, matter is composed of particles. On subdividing, these particles are molecules, atoms, and even smaller fundamental particles.

Second, different atoms form molecules in different ways, determining the physical and chemical properties of the matter.

Third, energy transfers between matter, causing matter to move and change. When the structure of molecules is altered by energy, the physical and chemical properties of the matter also change.

Fourth, energy is released in the form of heat, following the second law of thermodynamics, spontaneously flowing from a high-temperature heat source to a low-temperature heat source.

Fifth, the definition of force: the effect that changes the speed of an object or deforms it.

Sixth, the three laws of motion. The law of inertia, the law of acceleration, and the law of action and reaction.

Seventh, life is composed of cells.

Of course, to truly lay the foundation of natural science, these few "Mystery of Deities" are far from enough. Xiulote harbored ambitious plans to gradually transform the laws of physics, chemistry, and biology studied at all stages of compulsory education into a language acceptable to the times. Then, like today, teach them to the university apprentices as an enlightenment to science.

The process of scientific enlightenment would be lengthy and continue for many years. The initial students might not truly understand and would treat it as sacred teachings to memorize rigidly. But the significance of this teaching was undeniable, and the sense of achievement it brought was incomparable!

"I am changing the world, for the better!"

The King nodded with a smile and passed the recorded teachings to Bravo.

"Bravo, etch all my words today onto the stone wall so every apprentice can repeatedly contemplate them."

"I obey your decree, Supreme High Priest!"

Bravo bowed respectfully. He took the teachings, saw "All things in the world are composed of Divine Particles," and pondered slightly, feeling a touch of trepidation.

"Supreme High Priest..."

"Hmm?"

"May I add something to the engravings of your teachings?"

Bravo on the altar spoke in a lowered voice, cautiously advising.

"All things in the world are composed of Divine Particles... Are the noble Divine Descendants and the lowly slaves fundamentally the same?"

Hearing this, Xiulote raised an eyebrow, understanding clearly. He lightly looked at the unsettled Bravo and asked.

"How would you like to change it?"

"Could we add a phrase afterward saying, ’The divine particles forming the Divine Descendants were endowed with divinity by the Chief Divine, thus their noble status is elevated above all...’"

The King pondered for a long time. Whatever his teachings were, people of the time would interpret them according to the will of the times. These enlightening scientific doctrines needed to be augmented with annotations fitting for the times to spread within the religious system.

"Alright! Do not alter what I have said. Just attach a scripture annotation separately at the end."

"I obey you, great Divine Revelator!"

Bravo solemnly saluted, silently releasing a sigh of relief.

As long as he could write an annotation, he could find a way to manage before the traditional High Priests in the Council of Elders. Otherwise, etching so many astonishing "teachings" could spell the end of his vice-chancellor position. The Council of Elders of the Alliance was always conservative—they might not lay hands on the King, but couldn’t they sacrifice him, a mere Third Level High Priest?

Thinking this, Bravo hesitated, then advised again.

"Honored Supreme High Priest, it’s best not to mention these teachings when you go to the Capital City in Lake Patzcuaro..."

Xiulote stared calmly at Bravo for a moment, then nodded and smiled.

"Bravo, I understand your concerns. Don’t worry about me, and don’t worry about yourself. Just manage the university well, and one day, there will surely be a place for you in the highest Council of Elders!"
