A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 65 Blood-Red Beach

"I am the owner of this diary. My name is Lane Bart. By the time you read this, I may already be dead."

This is the first sentence in the diary.

"October 10th: This is the first day of my escape. I still don't understand why my colleagues who greeted me with smiles yesterday are like enemies today, but for the sake of the future of the flesh and blood gospel, I have no choice but to flee."

"October 12th: Everything changed. Everyone in the Blood and Flesh Gospel gradually lost contact with each other. They all died."

"October 15th: I was terrified when I was told what was in the ship's archives. Why would this happen?"

"October 17th: I gradually accepted my mission. The heavy responsibility of passing on the school of thought rests on my shoulders. No matter what, I will carry it on."

"October 25th: Why! Why did the school of thought abandon me! They simply don't understand!"

"December?: I can't remember how long I've been adrift at sea. What time is it today? I can't remember."

"..."

The following content consisted of meaningless ramblings, filled with insults against the Mage Alliance and resentment towards the Flesh and Blood Gospel School.

It is obvious that this mage was just bait.

His only purpose was to share the firepower for the true successor, but who could have imagined that the true successor had probably been wiped out long ago, while this bait was left behind.

The last page of the diary had a sentence written in blood.

"I will live on! The truth is approaching me! Everything in this world is made of flesh and blood; this is the truth of the world!"

He's gone mad, which is normal. The Flesh and Blood Evangelicals will modify themselves, and having two extra heads or two extra hands is quite normal. If their ability to modify themselves is insufficient, it's not impossible for them to drive themselves insane.

"That's terrible, but it has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Shuzhou shook his head. It was obvious that the mage eventually left the ship and established a flesh and blood lair in a cave somewhere. However, judging from the situation here, his final fate was self-evident.

It's time to loot!

While physical objects cannot be taken out of the country, knowledge can.

The dozens of books here represent the essence of a school of thought, and much of the knowledge and techniques are not available to ordinary mages.

It's important to know that the knowledge here even includes legendary-level items, which are more valuable than legendary weapons. These are the foundation of a legendary person's livelihood, and under normal circumstances, unless you become a core member, you won't even have the right to view them.

Now it's displayed here without any defenses, which is even more exciting than a succubus photo set!

As for the potential for mental pollution?

Someone has already tested Jiang Shuzhou in a game and found out that the players who were previously corrupted by the demons are now completely unaffected.

If that's the case, then what's there to be afraid of?

Jiang Shuzhou was self-aware enough to know that he couldn't possibly memorize the contents of so many books here.

However, he can use the system's built-in functions to record books. Do you remember he could also live stream?

Since it can be live-streamed, it can also be recorded.

Jiang Shuzhou planned to record the contents of these books and then manually take screenshots, so that he could preserve all the contents of the books.

Without hesitation, Jiang Shuzhou cleared the table, sweeping all the useless items onto the floor, including the diary.

He then used the magician's hand to piece the four books together, so that he could record the contents of all four books in one go.

Jiang Shuzhou opened the book and began taking notes. However, as the contents of the book unfolded, Jiang Shuzhou's page-turning speed gradually slowed down.

"A flesh and blood workshop? Using bioalchemy? This allows for the mass production of potions! A stroke of genius!"

"So that's how the Mage Alliance's war behemoths came to be?"

"A biological weapon! It can grow alongside humans?"

"To maximize the potential of ordinary people in order to mass-produce combatants?"

A fanatical look appeared on Jiang Shuzhou's face. This was the first time he had felt a connection between souls. The book in front of him was no longer a book, but a learned and talented monk who was instructing him face to face.

"Flesh Mage Tower and Flesh Floating City?"

"hiss……"

"Genius! Absolutely a genius!"

As Jiang Shuzhou read the book, he began to imagine the future application of flesh and blood magic.

It is said that there is no evil knowledge, only evil people.

This is the knowledge of the Flesh and Blood Evangelicals.

"They are nothing but mediocre people. Such great technology is used to manufacture weapons of war. The cheapest and most expensive thing in the world is the human body."

Jiang Shuzhou muttered to himself.

"Are you laughing at your mother? I think you're a good-for-nothing too!" After saying that, Jiang Shuzhou's expression changed, and he realized that his emotions were not right.

The moment he realized it, the kind-faced mage who had been guiding Jiang Shuzhou disappeared, replaced by a monster with five arms and three heads.

The staff he held and the jade badge embedded in his flesh revealed his identity to Jiang Shuzhou.

Legendary mages and alchemists of the Flesh and Blood Evangelical School.

He was already dead, yet he still tried to lead Jiang Shuzhou down the same old path.

Unfortunately, although Jiang Shuzhou appears to be very humble, he is actually quite arrogant inside.

He accepted the gift of knowledge from his senior, but dismissed his views with disdain.

The flesh-and-blood gospel believes that the body and soul are gifts from the world to all people.

Jiang Shuzhou, however, believed that the body and soul were nothing more than clay sculptures and wooden carvings, mere mortal objects, while only thought was a true gift.

Every living being has a body and a soul, but only thought distinguishes a higher being, and only by possessing the ability to think can one approach the truth.

He accepted the use of flesh and blood in the Gospel of Flesh and Blood, but was very dissatisfied with their reduction of thought in the soul.

"You're nothing but the afterimage of a loser, yet you dare to expect me to follow the same path of failure?"

Looking at the legendary alchemist in front of him, Jiang Shuzhou was not afraid at all. Putting aside the fact that this was a dungeon in the game, he was not afraid even if it were real life.

How many years have they been dead? Their bodies are long gone, and they must have lost the resurrection match, otherwise the Blood and Flesh Gospel wouldn't have been completely destroyed.

"Alright, I underestimated you. Here, young man."

Dude, I've insulted you like this, and you're not even angry? Don't you know that makes me seem petty?

Seeing Jiang Shuzhou's stunned expression, the legendary alchemist let out a sneer.

"I never intended to control you, child. You and I are the same kind of people."

"The words and rules of others and the outside world are nothing but bullshit. We only abide by what we are willing to abide by. No other people or rules can bind us, right?"

The legendary alchemist's three heads all laughed.

"I also know that this is a sub-plane that was temporarily created."

"Then do you know...?"

Jiang Shuzhou was about to ask him if he knew that he was just a copy.

"I know, but it's not what you think. Legends are unique. I can never be copied. There can only be one me in the entire multiverse, or rather, all of me will have the same soul."

"Unfortunately, I can't sense the other me."

Jiang Shuzhou's eyes flashed. Could this old man be trying to possess me?

"Don't worry, a bet is a bet, and besides, there's nothing I can do right now."

Looking at Jiang Shuzhou in front of him, the once legendary alchemist offered words of comfort. After a moment of silence, watching his body gradually become transparent, he spoke his last words to Jiang Shuzhou.

"My name is Mitters, the founder of the Gospel of Flesh and Blood, the legendary alchemist. My legend has ended; now it is yours."

"Youth is wonderful, so full of energy, truly..."

Jiang Shuzhou didn't hear what was said after that. Mitters had disappeared; he was a ghost of the past, and death was his only destination.

Finally, there was Mitter's gift.

"Fifty-two books, including 'The Blessing of Flesh and Blood,' 'One Hundred Methods of Flesh and Blood Cultivation,' 'The Voice of the Soul,' and 'The Cultivation Methods of Flesh and Blood Evil Puppets,' have been added to your bookshelf."

He hacked into the game system and passed on the gospel of flesh and blood to someone who had been wary of him from the beginning, someone who, like him, was steadfastly moving in the direction he had chosen.
