Infinite Professions

Chapter 284 - 152: Mother of Ten Thousand

The celestial secret skill, although seemingly mysterious and unfathomable, is not really that inconceivable.

In fact, it is an information algorithm.

What information?

The world’s information.

Everything leaves a trace after it happens.

As you walk on the earth, the ground bears the weight, the air moves, the light refracts... All the materials you touch are influenced by you, ultimately leaving your mark.

This is the world’s information, recorded in the heavens and earth, wind and water, light and darkness, and other elements of the world, forming a massive information repository.

The essence of the celestial secret technique is to use a dharma gate to enter this information repository, query the information within through authority, and then calculate and deduce the causes, effects, and various possibilities.

Thus, the celestial secret skill can inquire about everything in the Three Realms, such as the existence of a person, the connection of an object, and its impacts, comprehending Yin and Yang, knowing life and death, understanding the past, and foreseeing the future.

This dharma gate has two key elements: one is the level of authority, and the other is the method of calculation.

The higher the level of authority, the more information is obtained.

The stronger the method of calculation, the truer the results.

The combination of these two forms the complete celestial secret skill.

The Profound Celestial Sect’s Profound Celestial Seven Mirror Techniques can comprehend the mysteries of the heavens and elevate one’s level to some extent. Supplemented by the calculations of the Seven Mirrors, most matters of the human world can be inquired into. Overall, it is a rather remarkable celestial algorithm.

But no matter how good the dharma gate is, it cannot withstand the brute force suppression of authority.

Some being with an extremely high status has, with their power, disturbed the heavens and the earth, causing the celestial secret to be in a state of severe confusion, making it impossible to obtain useful information, much less perform calculations.

Who has disturbed the celestial secret?

Is it the Evil God Sect?

Or is it the Empire’s machinery?

Both are possible. After all, the stalemate in the battle has reached its final stage, and both sides are eager, each wanting to use their hidden cards to deliver a decisive blow.

At this time, neither side can allow the other to detect anything through the celestial algorithm, so the high echelons of both have disturbed the celestial secrets of Yunlan Star, possibly including the influence of the Ultimate Professionals and the Cosmic Evil God.

In such a situation, Shen Hex’s Profound Celestial Seven Mirror Techniques lost their effectiveness.

"It’s a pity I have not activated a career related to divination."

"Otherwise, with Professional Power, even though the celestial secret is disturbed, I could still glimpse some traces."

"The Daoist Palace Master can enhance the effects of various magics, but it requires the support of the Daoist Palace..."

"The Empire has Professional Power, and the Evil God also possesses various inconceivable abilities, together with the Evil Professionals who take shelter under Them. What outcome will this great war ultimately result in?"

"Empire, Evil God, Ultimate Professionals..."

"To me, they are too distant."

"The priority now is still on Yunlan Star."

"The breakthrough direction of the Evil God Sect..."

Shen Hex sat silently on a rock, his thoughts swirling in his eyes.

Currently, the enemy is in the shadows while I am exposed, making the situation exceedingly chaotic. Even for him, it’s difficult to see through the clouds and discern heaven and earth.

"So be it!"

At last, he shook his head, deciding not to get caught in this deadlock anymore. He got up, checked on the spirit pet and the beast herd, then left the breeding ground, heading towards the areas where Evil God Cultists were active.

No matter what plans there are, in the end, everything must be dealt with by strength.

So, first, fight monsters to gain experience!

And so...

In Tianbei City, Lower City District, Shen Hex walked leisurely.

Although it is the Cosmic Era, some people and things remain unchanged.

The Lower City District, which already had a hint of "slum" essence, became even more chaotic after the outbreak of the war. The influx of a large number of refugees made governance increasingly difficult, providing hiding space for the Evil God Sect to operate and grow.

"Although the terror and danger of the Evil God are well-known, there is too much helplessness and desire in life. Some, out of necessity or driven by greed, still get involved, becoming Evil God Cultists and Evil Professionals."

"Profession is unique to the Human Empire; other races and the Cosmic Evil God cannot activate them. But that doesn’t stop Professionals from embracing various Evil Gods, advancing with their power and resources."

"To this day, the professions of these Evil Professionals are also extremely diverse, with various innate abilities, some for combat, some for disguise. Some can even infiltrate the Empire’s high ranks undetected."

"The Empire has been overwhelmed by the infiltration and penetration of these Evil Professionals, so it has been vigorously cultivating detection-type professionals to counteract them. For instance, the Saint Walker I reported has the ability to sense sins and can detect these Evil Professionals to some extent, receiving considerable investment."

"..."

Although this Lower City District gives off a hint of a slum, it is relative. As a civilization of the cosmos, the Human Empire, despite its intention to control resources, would never allow the kind of slums where sewage flows, garbage is everywhere, and a series of dilapidated houses crowd together into patches.

Here is quite tidy. It’s just that the buildings are somewhat dense, filled with cheap apartments and shops, leased to a mishmash of companies, martial arts halls, and training institutions. It’s crowded with people, a mix of fish and dragons.

Setting aside the Evil God Sect and Evil Professionals, the living conditions in this Lower City District aren’t too bad.

But the issue cannot be set aside. Who knows how many cultists are hidden here, with various terror incidents occurring frequently, compounded by some gray elements who take advantage of the chaos, creating an extremely poor security situation in this Lower City District.

Living in such a place, everything can be soft except one’s eight characters (horoscope), which must be tough.

Shen Hex strolled amongst them, searching for his target within the hurried crowd.
