Chapter 871 Thirty-six variants and seventy-two changes
"Then I want to learn even more!" Ivy happily exclaimed.
Why not kill two birds with one stone?
"You shouldn't learn anymore. Learning too much will displease God, don't you understand? Besides, you haven't contributed anything. Once you become stronger than God, you will be suspected of plotting to seize power. Sooner or later, someone will scheme against you," Satan quickly discouraged.
"But God can make Himself stronger, right? I'm not stopping Him."
"He's making progress," Ivy said.
"Ivy..." Satan faced Ivy sternly, "God became God not through powerful spells, but through kindness and justice. If he weren't kind, and only focused on making himself stronger, he could have used any means necessary to gather the six immortal hearts. But as you know, once these six immortal hearts are collected, many lives will be lost. If the hearts of the dragon, phoenix, fire, and dream are collected, the Dragon King, Phoenix King, Demon King, and Warlock must die! If the heart of the spirit is collected, your spirit world will disappear; if the heart of water is collected, you will lose the Water Magic Pearl and your position as a witch. God not only shows kindness to others but also cares for you! You mustn't be ungrateful! If it weren't for his kindness, countless people in the six realms would have overthrown him long ago! Of course, the Dragon King and Phoenix King are exceptions. They have long had ambitions to usurp power. No matter how good God is to them, they won't appreciate it. They are both scoundrels, and you shouldn't trust their words, understand?"
"Grandfather, I understand. Don't worry, I won't collect the six immortal hearts. I only want to learn about the 108 divine generals. Just tell me about them."
"You, child!" Satan helplessly took out a scripture.
This was the detailed information on the 108 divine generals.
As Satan flipped through the pages, he introduced, "The thirty-sixth celestial lord and the seventy-second archangel are both called divine generals. The spells they use are the Thirty-six Variants and the 72 Changes respectively."
"Thirty-six Variants and 72 Changes?" Ivy's face lit up with excitement.
"Are you referring to the description in that travelogue?" Satan furrowed his brow slightly. "I wonder how the author of that book knew our heavenly secrets."
Alexander chimed in, "Perhaps they dreamt about it? I often dream about heavenly matters, no, about God's matters."
"It's because you are a part of him," Satan said.
"Don't interrupt, don't bring up irrelevant things," Ivy persisted in pestering Satan. "Grandfather, may I ask, which is more powerful, the Thirty-six Variants or the 72 Changes?"
"The Thirty-six Variants are the spells used by the thirty-sixth celestial lord, while the 72 Changes are used by the seventy-second archangel. Of course, the latter is more powerful than the former! Why would you even ask such a question?" Satan lightly patted Ivy's head. "Don't ask such childish questions in the future. No matter when, heaven is always the greatest! Heaven is God, the ruler of the six realms! No one can surpass him!"
Ivy became a little confused. "But the travelogue mentions that fairies learn the Thirty-six Variants, and they also learn the 72 Changes. Why are the latter more powerful than the former?"
"How would I know? You shouldn't ask me such questions.
"Go ask the author," Satan furrowed his brows.
Ivy didn't actually care about the answer to this question. What she really cared about was what it meant that one fairy could perform Thirty-six Variants spells and the other could perform 72 Changes spells.
It meant that a person could learn many Divine General spells simultaneously. Given the opportunity, she wanted to learn all 108 spells!
