Dimensional Descent

hapter 3017 I Guess I Am

BOOM! BOOM! Minerva's eyes opened wide. The moment the carnage and destruction began, she had been forcefully taken away by her parents. Although she had completely formed her God Constitution now, she was still much too weak to participate in a battle of this level.

In the end, she could only grit her teeth and watch from afar. However, when the Pillars of Truth appeared, her pupils couldn't help but tremble. Those pillars were the treasure of their Minerva Race. They had been passed down for generations, but they had never reacted like this at all.

It was just unfortunate for Minerva that she wasn't aware of the history. And those Owlans that did… well, their gazes could only become incredibly solemn… even Elysium. And yet, not a single one of them did anything about it because they knew that it was entirely useless.

What was the purpose of the Pillars of Truth? The obvious answer was that they could test the grades of crafts, but that was surface level to their abilities, a history that Leonel was well aware of.

The Pillars of Truth had a far more important purpose, or else it would be impossible to spend so much effort on two treasures. Just think about it for a moment. Master Crafters wouldn't be Master Crafters if they couldn't analyze the good and the bad of their own Crafts. If they couldn't do at least that, they might as well give up on the profession entirely. In fact, even lower class Crafters had this ability so long as the treasure was within striking distance of them.

Pouring so many resources into a pillar just to tell you things that you already knew was the pinnacle of foolishness. Still, rich people tended to spend their money on foolish things. Who was to say the Minerva hadn't created it just because they could?

But the real reason was much deeper. The first was surface level again. The 99 leaves of the pillars represented the pinnacle of Minerva innovation. The existence of the pillar was like telling others that this was a height that they could never achieve. Since the Minerva could create a treasure to sense this grade, it also meant that they could easily create a treasure of such a grade. T

The second reason… was to pick the Head of the Minerva Race. Only by surpassing all other Crafters would you be worthy. Or, most accurately… only by increasing the standards of the pillar.
