As the memory reading skill carried on, a large amount of knowledge hidden deep within Araniya’s soul began continuously drilling into Roy’s mind.
And as he read these memories, Roy’s expression kept changing.
Just like Roy had expected, the inherited memories of the spider demon were very complete because Araniya had a very clear understanding of the Abyss in her memories.
Through Araniya’s memory, Roy learned that this so-called Abyss was not a planet like he had imagined, but a special domain that ordinary people could never understand! The Abyss was in a cut off place between time and space, but it was not restricted by space and time. It was at the edge of dream and reality. It was a world in a different dimension formed into levels through all kinds of dreams and nightmares from the world of the living! An amalgamation of worlds!
This was the real reason why the Abyss could become a Side of the Infinite Worlds. The places connected to the Abyss could be a real world, a dream, or a world beyond fantasy. At first, the Abyss was only nothingness, a trivial singularity in the endless void. Then it began to evolve slowly under a kind of mystical, metaphorical power. It took billions of years or even longer before it became what it was today, a special world. But its evolution had not ended and was still continuing, causing the Abyss to continue extending deeper into the other dimension.
In other words, the number of levels of the Abyss was still increasing. Even now, no demon knew how many levels the Abyss had and where its bottom was.
This was why many demons called their world the endless Abyss…
In Araniya’s memories, the relatively complete and stable parts of the Abyss were the spaces where low, middle, and high-rank demons lived. Well, that also included the birthplaces on the surface and the ocean known as the Endless Ocean. The vast majority of Abyss demons and deep-sea demons lived in these relatively stable spaces.
The spaces at the lower levels of the Abyss, which were still evolving, were often full of unknown dangers, and there might be space distortions, time distortions, and so on. Therefore, only demons with sufficient strength could tear through the dimensional barriers and enter them. At the same time, because of the large number of these spaces in the deeper Abyss, demons with the strength to enter them would usually occupy a level alone. They were the so-called demon lords!
Magic power so powerful that it could tear through a dimensional barrier. Although this statement was not very detailed, it was obvious that this was how to promote to demon lord.
From Araniya’s memories, Roy saw the complete general method of promoting from low-rank demon to demon lord, which was similar to what Roy had experienced. As for the higher-level demon kings, it was not there. And the Deadly Sin Demon King level above the demon king level did not even need mentioning
Of course, the evolution of the Abyss was too big of a topic, and it was useless to Roy currently. Roy was more focused on searching for keywords such as ‘Demon Bible’, ‘creator’, and ‘Chosen One of the Abyss’.
There were some mentions of the Demon Bible in Araniya’s memory, but no information on the creator and the Chosen One of the Abyss at all. According to legend, the Demon Bible was seven ancient and strange steles, meaning that the entire Demon Bible only had seven chapters. These steles were hidden in certain lower levels of the Abyss, and they contained the mystical power of the spirit of language. If you could find these steles and obtain rubbings of them, you would be able to obtain a portion of the power on them.
But the power on these steles was not the kind that possessed powerful destructive force, and some of them were not necessarily as powerful as demons themselves, so demons did not deliberately search for these steles. As time passed, many demons gradually forgot about the existence of these things, and only some ancient demons and demons with complete inherited memories knew a little bit about the Demon Bible.
However, what was strange was that the demons’ knowledge of the Demon Bible seemed to be somewhat different from Roy’s!
In the sixth chapter of the Demon Bible that Roy obtained, it mentioned an existence similar to the creator. Logically speaking, there should be similar words in the other chapters of the Demon Bible. Thus, demons who obtained rubbings or saw inscriptions of the Demon Bible should know this information about the creator, but no one had ever mentioned the creator!
Araniya’s inherited memories came from the spider demon race, and maybe it was really like what she had said, that it came from the Queen of Spiders Lolth. In that case, these inherited memories naturally represented the knowledge of the demon king Lolth. But the problem was that even the inherited memories of the Queen of Spiders did not mention the word ‘creator’. On the contrary, in her inherited memories, the Seven Deadly Sin Demon Kings had already disappeared from the Abyss, and no one knew where they were. However, she thought that the seven steles that recorded the Demon Bible were left by the Seven Deadly Sin Demon Kings and that they were the evidence of the strength and will of the Seven Deadly Sin Demon Kings in the Abyss.
It was very strange. This gave Roy the feeling that some kind of force had distorted the cognition of demons, making them completely ignore the word ‘creator’ in the Demon Bible.
The concept of the creator had already been replaced with the concept of the Seven Deadly Sin Demon Kings… But Roy did not know why he was unaffected…
Without the concept of the creator, there was naturally no concept of the Chosen One of the Abyss. He could not find any information about the Chosen One of the Abyss from even the complete inherited memories of the spider demons. This made Roy feel more and more that the talent he had obtained mysteriously seemed to be something very… indescribable…
Therefore, he decided that he would not mention this term to anyone before he figured out what it really was…
In Araniya’s inherited memories, there were many other things, including the technique of soul splitting; the advantages and disadvantages of soul fragments; the names and characteristics of some minerals in the Abyss; the rank and strength division of the demons’ natural enemy, angels; the use of demon contracts and the corresponding angel contracts; even some secrets about Heaven; the meaning of the true names of demons and angels; and so on.
He did not dare to say that it contained knowledge of the entire Abyss, but at least it included most of it. After reading Araniya’s memories, Roy instantly had a deeper understanding of the Abyss.
In fact, as long as Roy survived in the Abyss, he would slowly figure out this knowledge sooner or later. However, he did not want to live muddleheadedly in this world like the demons who had cut off inherited memories. Now that he had used the power of the system to create a Soul Memory Reading skill, he finally filled up his inherited memories from Araniya’s soul.
If he had known that there was so much knowledge in the inherited memories, he would have found a spider demon earlier… But it did not matter. Araniya came to deliver him a present, so Roy happily accepted it…
