Chapter 12

There are some things in this world that no one can communicate or share. At such times, the inquiries from the optical brain didn't seem like those from a computer in Jiang Junming's mind, but rather like those from a living person. Although the optical brain analyzed itself with cold, hard numbers, Jiang Junming thought that having it to chat with was not a bad thing.

In this world, there were probably some things that, apart from the optical brain, he could only keep to himself, with no one to confide in.

Jiang Junming scratched his head and said, "Today, two knight attendants came to inform me that I need to take the entrance test for the Church Academy tomorrow. They will test whether I can sense divine power and if I have the foundation to receive it. I think this is an opportunity to change my life and make it better. I want to pass the Church Academy's entrance test, but I don't know what divine power is; I have no concept of it. I'm afraid of losing this opportunity, but I don't know how to seize it."

The mechanical voice of the optical brain fell silent. The gentle, soft light on the six walls of the rectangular room remained calm, and the small tree in front of Jiang Junming stopped swaying.

Bitterly smiling in his heart, Jiang Junming thought that, after all, it was just a computer. Even if it was an optical brain from a Level 10 civilization, it was the same. Treating it like a human and trying to communicate with it, how could it understand? Moreover, even if it understood, it wouldn't know what divine power was.

As Jiang Junming was thinking, the wall directly in front of him began to blur and change, forming a pattern that quickly became clear. At this moment, the mechanical voice of the optical brain said, "There is a lack of samples of divine power in this world, and so far, there is only one standard sample."

As it spoke, the pattern on the virtual screen in front of Jiang Junming became clear, showing the scene from last night when the dying Raphael, the priest of the Care Church, used divine magic to heal him.

Jiang Junming was puzzled. When did the optical brain collect this image? Could it be through his own perception?

The image of the severely injured priest on the virtual screen paused at the moment he released the divine magic for healing, then it was magnified. The focus of the image on the screen concentrated on the white light of the divine magic. The white light was continuously magnified, seemingly all the way to the atomic level.

Initially, Jiang Junming thought he would see countless spherical atoms, but as the white light was rapidly magnified, he was surprised to find that the white light of the healing divine magic released by the injured priest was composed of countless small crescent triangular flash symbols. They were not only white but also had a few black pure triangles mixed in. Each black pure triangle had a drop that looked like a tear in the middle.

"What is this?" Jiang Junming asked, recalling how the chest and lung wounds of the Care Church priest Raphael had unexpectedly healed without stitching after being "bathed" in the white light of the divine magic. He thought it must be related to these black and white triangles.

"According to simulation calculations, this is a manifestation of a form of power. It is projected from another space, stimulating the mental energy of the practitioner, causing changes in the form and energy at the molecular level. Specifically, according to Ferelden's Fourth Law, it should be explained like this..." The optical brain spoke incessantly, and countless lights flickered on the screen next to Jiang Junming. These data seemed to be using Ferelden's Fourth Law to explain what it was.

"..." Every word was familiar to Jiang Junming, but when put together, he found it hard to understand. Especially after the calculations, the optical brain's answer on the screen only confused him more.

The optical brain seemed to know that Jiang Junming didn't understand and continued to explain, "This energy reaction and conversion can also be simulated in your body."

Simulated in his body? Jiang Junming was stunned, then overjoyed. According to the optical brain, he might have a chance to pass the Church Academy's test! What he was worried about was not being able to sense divine power. If this problem could be solved, it would be great.

"Conducting energy conversion and receptor simulation requires calculation and energy supply. There is currently no extra energy for training. Training ends." As the optical brain said the training ended, numbers appeared on the six walls: 3... 2... 1...

Then Jiang Junming "woke up" in bed.

Recalling the experience, Jiang Junming felt that since the optical brain said it could analyze and simulate, he should be able to sense divine power and pass the test. Although he was still a bit anxious, he felt much calmer and more peaceful. After reading for a while, when it got dark and the shop assistants were all asleep, Jiang Junming started to refine potions again.

Until dawn, Jiang Junming repeated the experiment several times but found no change in himself. He didn't know how long the energy conversion and receptor simulation would take. If he missed today's Church Academy test, it would be disastrous.

Although there was no change, he still had to go to the Church Academy for the test. Going might work or might not, but not going definitely wouldn't work.

Moonlight City, where Jiang Junming lived, was a small city without a priest academy to train priests. Only the various temples and churches in Moonlight City recommended their candidates for the test. If they passed, they could go to cities with priest academies for further study.

The gods of justice and light, due to their similar nature and long-standing alliance, conducted unified selection and testing at the priest academies.

When the sky brightened, the Wild Herb Shop had just opened when a believer of the Care Church came to take Jiang Junming to the test site. When Jiang Junming learned that it was indeed the Care Church that recommended him for the Church Academy test, he suddenly thought of the severely injured Raphael and the countless black and white triangles of the divine magic he had seen magnified.

Although Jiang Junming had seen the basic structure of divine power, he still didn't know if he could sense it or how to sense it. He anxiously prayed that the optical brain would find a way to simulate divine power in his body before the Church Academy's entrance test.

After leaving the Wild Herb Shop, Jiang Junming kept thinking about how he got the recommendation. Could it really be that the priest Raphael from the Care Church recommended him? Saving his life was true, but he had performed surgery on him, touching a human body. Wasn't that absolutely taboo in the eyes of the temple priests? Wasn't that something only necromancers did? Not being wanted was already a stroke of luck, so why would they recommend him for the Church Academy test? Just because he saved him? Was this test a favor for him?
