Chapter 856: Chapter 644: Restoration
White Hair Sea Trench.
The divine power of Mei Lan formed a pale blue light curtain, temporarily filling the gap in the Ocean Nest.
As time passed, at the connection between the divine light curtain and the nest’s wall, new walls slowly grew.
Zhou Zhang stood outside the nest, maintaining a half-kneeling posture of prayer.
She watched the scene before her, hiding her worry in her heart—the divine power consumed to repair the wall was considerable, a significant expense for Mei Lan God.
"Next, I must conduct more blood sacrifices for my lord!"
Zhou Zhang made up her mind secretly.
Not far away, Cang Xu was also observing.
"God is omnipotent!" The old mage marveled secretly.
The Ocean Nest is a unique natural structure, yet under Mei Lan God’s methods, even if damaged, it can be repaired.
On the other side...
Cang Xu turned slightly, casting a glance at the necromancer mentor not far away.
The necromancer mentor was repairing the sacrificial array.
Previously, Qian Xing’s combat skill attack not only penetrated the array and cut through the Golden Level altar, but also pierced the Ocean Nest.
What surprised Cang Xu was that the necromancer mentor’s array repair not only involved magic runes but also included parts of the Charming Blue Divine Text.
"He has a profound mastery of Charming Blue Divine Text!"
Originally, Cang Xu thought that this part of the repair would be conducted by Zhou Zhang.
"Xu Jia, come over here." The necromancer mentor finished a part of his repair work and beckoned Cang Xu.
Cang Xu complied, coming to the necromancer mentor’s side.
The necromancer mentor smiled and said, "Next, you can assist a bit."
"Use the content of the Divine Blessing you received, those unique divine arts, and perform them at the locations I designate, forming new divine texts."
Cang Xu was greatly surprised.
Beside him, the ship ghost cast a gaze of envy. He knew this was another temporary guidance from the necromancer mentor, who truly valued Xu Jia.
It must be noted that Xu Jia was only at silver level, hardly qualified to repair such an array.
But the necromancer mentor was willing to make more effort, take a small detour, just to mentor Xu Jia (Cang Xu).
Apart from the necromancer mentor’s penchant for nurturing younger generations, it also showed his appreciation for Cang Xu.
Cang Xu, according to the necromancer mentor’s arrangements, performed divine arts at the specific locations in the array.
Divine Arts—Soul Link.
Divine Arts—Spiritual Navigation.
Divine Arts—Synchronized Conversion.
With each different divine art performed, the resulting divine texts within the array varied in quantity.
The necromancer mentor carefully selected among these divine texts, placing them at precise locations.
Cang Xu had previously studied the large array surrounding the altar, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became, inevitably asking, "Necromancer mentor sir, are you improving this array?"
The necromancer mentor smiled and nodded, "Indeed, you’ve noticed."
"It seems, in your usual observations, you’ve paid quite some attention to this array."
"That’s good, seeking knowledge is a commendable quality for mages."
"When I assisted in constructing this array, it was several years ago."
"People always progress."
"Now, I am fully capable of enhancing this array, improving efficiency by at least 7.8%."
Cang Xu asked again: "Necromancer mentor sir, I have one more small concern. How come you’re also well-versed in my unique divine arts?"
The necromancer mentor smiled slightly.
Cang Xu’s question was precisely what he hoped to hear.
Upon hearing it, the necromancer mentor replied: "What do you think, Xu Jia?"
Cang Xu had long speculated, hesitating a moment: "Could it be, these unique divine arts were actually created by you..."
"Yes." The necromancer mentor nodded, smiling lightly, "These unique divine arts were indeed invented and created by me."
"This is one of the cooperative efforts between our Undead Orthodoxy and the Charming Blue Sect."
"Creating these divine arts is actually quite challenging. Mei Lan God has been asleep for years, maintaining the sect only through divinity, responding to believers’ prayers, incapable of innovating divine arts."
"The reason I was able to accomplish this was largely not due to my own skills but because of the divine artifact, the Truth Stone Tablet."
With the speculation confirmed, Cang Xu couldn’t help but feel a shock in his heart, hurriedly saying: "Truly worthy of necromancer mentor sir. Not only did you create undead magic, but you can also create divine arts based on Charming Blue Divine Text!"
The necromancer mentor waved his hand, his smile growing more composed: "Isn’t that precisely what we mages should do?"
"We study the world, study the gods, create spells one by one, broadening the limits of our abilities."
"That is the quality we mages must have."
He spoke with intention.
Cang Xu’s eyes flashed, immediately realizing the necromancer mentor intended to teach him through this occasion, instructing him to learn by example that mages should not worship gods.
Everything can be studied, every material can be used better, every power can be leveraged.
As long as there’s a fulcrum.
"I’ve found the key fulcrum to leverage the Divine Country!" Within the Honey Snow Tower, Shuanglian’s eyes were glowing with excitement.
Although her dispatched team’s surprise attack on Anqiu ultimately perished entirely, her tactical goal had been achieved.
Through on-site detection, she obtained a wealth of data on Anqiu.
She had been analyzing this data for quite some time; the results gradually accumulated, until today, they finally transformed qualitatively!
Bu Quan had been assisting Shuanglian all along, and upon seeing the perplexing data, he immediately asked: "Teacher, this data is so strange, it seems to suggest that this hill is sentient."
Shuanglian smiled subtly, feeling a touch of comfort: "It’s nice that you can see this."
"You lack a lot of knowledge, but that’s understandable. The knowledge related to gods is exchanged at very high levels."
Shuanglian pointed to the data: "This data indicates that the hill contains a computation center similar to a tower spirit."
"Naturally, its actual computational power is far greater than that of a tower spirit, exceedingly greater."
"Its true name is—Divinity."
Bu Quan: "Di... Divinity?!"
While the mentor and disciple discussed Anqiu, outside the mage tower, duelists were discussing them.
Snow Ball gazed at the gradually narrowing crack on the ground, exclaiming in amazement: "No wonder it derived from the Great Decomposition Technique, the Ice Split Skill is truly formidable!"
"Although Anqiu Mountain has recovered, the Divine Country’s earth still bears a huge crack."
Others might find it challenging to gather intelligence on the Ice Split Skill, but for Snow Ball, it was relatively easy.
Because not only is she a member of the Alchemy Guild, her grandfather is the Snow Cake Tower Master, a powerful elder within the guild.
"I really wish I could witness the Ice Split Skill’s performance, but unfortunately, I wasn’t present at the time." Snow Ball lamented.
"Had our lord been truly complete, these fissures would not have remained partially." Another duelist named He Gaetou remarked.
Through all their experiences, these duelists had developed some reliable hypotheses regarding the God of Duels.
Snow Ball went silent.
Such topics were inconvenient to delve into.
Just then, a Golden Level fighter leaped forward.
It was Gudong.
It was his turn to replace He Gaetou.
Ever since the last Anqiu raid, the God of Duels’ Golden Level had consistently been only two members.
"You finally arrived," He Gaetou lamented slightly when he saw Gudong.
Gudong apologized: "I was delayed by some last-minute issues."
He Gaetou sighed: "I told you, today I have a meeting with the Ice Prison’s leaders."
Snow Ball asked curiously: "Why contact them? Did you bet heavily on this big duel?"
He Gaetou shook his head slightly: "Long Fu continues his winning streak, his form hasn’t dipped at all. This cannot continue!"
"I’ve spotted someone in the Ice Prison."
"I believe he can pose a real threat to Long Fu."
"I agree with Mei Lin’s arrangements this time, so let me speed up the process."
