Chapter 175: Immortal Form and Artificial Man (Two in One)
ˆ
The city of Servants of God, the capital of Hinsa.
In the doorway of the city wall with carved patterns, the thick iron door slowly opened.
Anhofors walked through the center of the sword-wielding guards and climbed the stairs, and was guided by an attendant to the outside of the garden.
The garden is entirely made of glass, more than four meters high and in the shape of a birdcage.
Beautiful and gorgeous, and can be said to be extremely luxurious.
Direct sunlight will slow down the growth of the Sun Cup, become sluggish or even wither, but this kind of glass can solve this situation. The royal garden was the first to use this method to cultivate the Sun Cup.
However, over at the Sky Temple, the garden that has been used for several eras is still maintained.
Anhofors walked to the glass and said after facing the figure with the crown.
“Your Majesty!”
The king looked over and looked at Anhofors carefully: "Here you are, my priest."
The king took two steps forward and patted Anhofors on the shoulder, appearing cordial and familiar.
“I heard that you are ready to take that step?”
Anghofors asked: "I wonder which step your Majesty is referring to?"
The king pointed it out directly: "I still know something. You have obtained the "Divine Grace Technique" from the Temple of Truth, so you must be ready to break through to the fourth level and become a priest of divine grace."
Anhofors did not mince words: "Some preparations are still needed."
The king laughed: "It seems that we will soon have a powerful fourth-level authority."
at present.
Whether it is the civilization of Xiinsai or the civilization of the Kingdom of Demonic Abyss, there are only two fourth-level divine priests.
They are the Sage of Truth Lan En and the Knight of the Abyss Elena. However, although the Sage of Truth Lan En is a three-leaf man, he is obviously a force independent of Xiinsai.
The dignified Xiinsai actually does not have his own divine priest.
After talking about this topic, the king immediately talked about another thing.
“I remember that the priest who serves the god is still alone, um... so be it!”
“I can give you my daughter Jeah in marriage, and we will be one family.”
“I don’t know what you think?”
The King of Hinsa had dozens of children, but Anhofors recognized only a few of them.
“Your Highness Yaya?”
“I have never seen this princess before.”
The king clapped his hands, and the figure in the glass garden came out.
Anhofors turned around and looked. It turned out that the king's daughter was the chief priestess in the Sky Temple who was responsible for singing oaths and hymns every day. These female priests were in the main hall of the Sky Temple every day. In Anhofors' view,
Just like a bunch of puppets.
It is also that mediocre thing. Do you even think that God is watching us?
The ordinary priestess who didn’t dare to answer.
He previously thought that the king only sent her to monitor him, but he didn't expect that it actually had another meaning.
He just glanced at the princess and flatly refused.
“Your Majesty.”
"I do not need."
Her Royal Highness the Princess was stunned when she saw Anhofors' answer, then turned around and trotted away.
You can see that he is very sad and angry.
It's just that Anhofors doesn't care too much.
His Majesty the King did not expect that Anhofors would refuse.
In his view, this is simply something that no one would resist, and cooperation would benefit both parties.
Anhofors will become part of the royal family, and Hinsey will also get a powerful fourth-level authority.
At the same time, this is also the honor given to Anhofors by the royal family.
He felt a little embarrassed and angry.
“Anhofors!”
“Are you rejecting the royal family? Or are you insulting my daughter?”
The two looked at each other. This time the king was very tough and it could be seen that he could not refuse.
In the end, Anhofors thought about it again and again, and after being silent for a long time, he agreed. He still needs the king's strength and help, and he cannot turn against the king.
He walked out of the palace and on the way back to the Temple of the Sky, his sleeves shook.
He took out the Haru bottle and placed it on the handrail of the stairs. The little skeleton man in the bottle looked at Anhofors.
“You have changed a lot.”
Anhofors: “What has changed?”
Skeleton Man: "You used to be an evil mage hiding in a castle. You ignored the so-called rights and power in the world."
“You never compromise, and you’re not like you were before.”
Anhofors: “Now?”
The little skeleton man nodded: "You look like a noble."
Anhofors disagrees: "I haven't changed, but sometimes I need to compromise."
“This compromise is not about surrendering to authority, but about better carrying out our plans.”
Although he said that, the little skeleton man's words made him feel the urgency.
He did feel that he was being assimilated. His exploration of the secret of immortality had been stalled recently. After he had the grace and huge help of the priest of the Sky Temple, he was also drawn into the whirlpool of power struggle.
middle.
He was pleased that he controlled the huge resources, but he also hated the intrigues between these people.
From his point of view, these people are like a group of bugs kept in a jar, fighting each other for a small amount of space, and they don't even know to take a look at the world outside the jar.
Once upon a time, he looked at them with condescension and disdain.
And now, I was pulled by these insects and fell into the jar.
He must speed up his plans. He is a noble man pursuing the secret of eternal life, not a mediocre being.
But before that, he had to go somewhere.
Anhofors led the people away from the Holy Mountain and headed to the Underwater River area.
According to convention, the priests of the Sky Temple are not allowed to leave the temple.
But this convention obviously has no effect on Anhofors.
The little stone demon's lower body rolled a little loudly as it ran on the road with a carriage.
Some robbers in the wilderness saw this gorgeous carriage with hollow edges, gold rims, and glass decoration, but fled far away.
Because they knew that beings who could use monsters to pull carts must be something they couldn't afford to offend.
Further forward beyond the border of the Kingdom of Hinsai, there is no road.
The little stone demon ran wildly until a bottomless rift valley appeared in front of him.
“A suspension bridge made by the Ritual of Bones.”
“Such a long building looks really impressive.”
Anhofors opened the carriage door, stepped down from it, looked at the bone bridge and stepped on it.
“Huhu.”
The strong wind howled and blew the suspension bridge, making it swing like a swing. Walking on it was really breathtaking.
But Anhofors walked steadily and slowly reached the other end.
The fog appeared on the other side of the suspension bridge. Anhofors was no stranger to it. There was also such a thing outside the Temple of Truth.
Although there are differences in the fog between the two, and their functions and layout methods are different, they are essentially the same thing.
“I didn’t expect to see the illusion barrier of the Silen family here.”
This kind of illusion that works on low-level priests and ordinary people certainly has no effect on Anhofors, so he walked in directly.
But it was completely different when he saw the huge city wall and the head on the city gate.
The skull was a little frightened when he saw Anhofors, and his eyes actually expressed fear, as if he really had wisdom.
"What's this?"
His eyes showed interest and expectation: "There is indeed something in the witch doctor's house. Maybe they really have secrets about life and eternal life."
Anhofors officially confirmed that his trip would not be in vain.
Sometimes there is some truth in the rumors.
The door opened automatically and Anhofors was welcomed in.
The fog has cleared.
There are seven figures standing in front of the witch doctor's house. One of them is obviously an ordinary person, and the other six should be the legendary witch doctors.
“Powerful Trileaf Priest, you should not be here.”
“Because you have nothing to ask us for help.”
Anhofors looked at the witch doctors. The witch doctors gave him a strange feeling, but he did not see that these witch doctors were not Trileaf people.
after all.
If the identity of the Bone Demon is so easy to identify, how can they hide in the city?
Moreover, the Bone Demon did not cover up the powerful power emanating from his body at all. It was obviously a fourth-level power, with a field of divine grace after the transformation of spiritual power.
This feeling was something he had seen in Lan En, the Sage of Truth.
Anhofors's expression changed instantly, and he even took a few steps back involuntarily.
A fourth-level divine priest is enough to scare the shit out of someone, let alone six fourth-level powerful men standing in front of him.
“Fourth level?”
“How is it possible? Where did so many fourth-level powerful people come from?”
This made Anhofors couldn't help but guess the origins of these witch doctors. They appeared suddenly without any warning.
Powerful power, pursuing the ultimate meaning of life.
This all looks so unusual.
“Who made you?”
He raised his head and stared at these witch doctors, as if he saw something that should never exist in the mortal world.
“Is it God? Or is it a messenger of God?”
“Where do you come from? Are you from the kingdom of the gods?”
Anghofors does not believe that these are natural creations. He prefers to believe that these witch doctors are escapees from the kingdom of God.
Only this statement can prove why they can appear out of thin air.
Looking for something.
Suddenly in the depths of the mist, he saw a huge statue of Sally, the Mother of Life, on a cliff by the sea.
The statue of the god is hazy in the mist, but the horn-like conch of all things is extremely conspicuous.
She is the existence that this group of witch doctors believe in.
For a moment, Anhofors thought he had found the answer.
Anhofors showed an expression of sudden realization and spoke to the witch doctors.
“The pursuit of the mysteries of life, the power to save lives and heal the wounded.”
“Is it the mother of life, the controller of all conchs, the supreme king of trolls, who created you?”
In the eyes of ordinary people, God Yinsai is the supreme creator.
So Sally, the mother of life who can create all life and exist eternally, is not another god.
Even in the eyes of today's Trileaf people, the First King Lederiki was also an ancient god. It was only because he distributed the blood of wisdom to all the Trileaf people that he finally decayed and died.
With this guess, Anhofors looked at these witch doctors in a completely different way.
Become fanatical.
With a desire for truth and secrets.
He has never been to the Kingdom of God, let alone met Sally, the mother of life.
But these six witch doctors must be related to the kingdom of God and Sally, the mother of life.
There must be a secret within them, a big secret, a secret belonging to the kingdom of God.
The witch doctors looked at each other and shook their heads: "We don't know."
Anhofors didn’t understand: “I don’t know?”
The witch doctor looked at Anhofors: "The reason why gods are called gods is because gods cannot be looked at directly."
“Mortal humans are not even qualified to remember His appearance. Even if you have seen God once, you will forget everything afterwards.”
"unless."
“God doesn’t want you to forget his existence, or that you are strong enough to withstand this memory, such as the Messenger of God and the Mother of Life.”
Anhofors suddenly remembered what happened when he first came to the royal capital. He seemed to have seen someone by the lakeside, and seemed to have said something.
But after just one glance, he couldn't remember anything.
Can’t remember who I met or what I said.
But the chill that goes deep into my heart, the blank space where my memory disappears automatically, is extremely profound.
“Is that God?”
“Or is it just a delusion on my part?”
If it were God, it would be really terrible.
God is actually such a terrifying being that even a mere glance at it makes people lose themselves.
The witch doctors looked at Anhofors who was deep in thought, and then asked.
“Comer.”
“Please tell me the purpose of your arrival.”
Annhofors finally broke free from the terrifying thoughts that were getting colder and colder as he thought about it, and raised his head to look at the witch doctor.
“I am Anhofors, and I want to make a deal with you.”
He firmly believes that as long as people have desires and goals in this world, they can trade, just like he and the King of Hinsai.
Six witch doctors spoke at the same time, their voices overlapping as if they were the same person.
“What deal?”
Anhofors: “First of all, I want to ask you a question.”
“What is the ultimate meaning of life?”
“Is it eternal life?”
The six witch doctors answered directly without thinking at all: "Eternal life is just an accessory to the power of life, just like people can speak and think."
“The ultimate meaning of life we are looking for is not eternal life.”
“But it is the part that exists in the life of all things and is missing in all living beings.”
Anhofors was stunned.
And everything that I pursue so hard is not a secret of the gods.
Even for Sally, the Mother of Life, is it just the same ability as speaking?
“So do you know the secret of eternal life?”
Witch Doctor: “We are the ones who live forever.”
Anhofors was instantly excited. He took a few steps forward, as if he wanted to get closer to these immortal beings to see what kind of power they were.
But the medicine men then said the next words: "We are immortal, but we do not know the secret of immortality."
Anhofors stopped and asked: "Why is this happening?"
The voices of the witch doctors synchronized together: "For it is not ourselves who give us eternal life."
“But because of the gift of the Supreme Being.”
As to whether this supreme being is the god Insai or Sally, the mother of life.
They don’t know either.
Anghofors could no longer suppress the excitement and desire in his heart. He looked from below at the six fourth-level powerful people in front of the witch doctor's house above, who had inherited the power of life and eternal life.
“Witch doctor!”
“Can I have a glimpse of the power of eternal life?”
“Just one look, one look is enough.”
The witch doctors did not answer, but looked straight at Anhofors.
Anghofors knew that even though the witch doctors thought like machines and seemed to have no emotions whatsoever, they were only moving forward to explore the ultimate meaning of life.
You ask them questions, and they will tell you the truth directly, unlike the three-leaf people who contain all kinds of thoughts.
This does not mean that they can be fooled at will.
It is impossible for him to glimpse the appearance of eternal life from the witch doctor, he needs to pay the price.
And it is the price that the witch doctors need.
Anhofors took out a scroll from his priest's robe.
"for exchange."
"I can hand over to you the three methods of making monsters: stone demon, fire demon, and bone demon. It also contains my complete concept of creating monsters, as well as the notes of my teacher Haru, the fire demon."
“Don’t you want to create life and find secrets from life?”
“The method of making monsters can definitely provide you with reference and guidance.”
The witch doctors looked at each other, and you could see that they were a little moved.
The method of creating monsters can indeed help witch doctors. They can better understand the forms of various life forms and find the missing part of the power of life.
But compared to the secret of eternal life, this seems too insignificant.
“This exchange is not equivalent.”
Anhofors thought for a moment and asked again.
“Do you have the fourth-level divine grace and the power to create mythical organs?”
Although witch doctors are fourth-level powerful people, they did not become fourth-level ones step by step. They were created by others.
So this also leads to them having fourth-level power, but in fact they don’t even know how to become fourth-level.
Anhofors knew that he had guessed correctly, these beings were created by the "Mother of Life" and escaped from the Kingdom of God.
For these things are missing.
Anhofors took out "Divine Grace" again and stacked it with the previous scroll.
It's like putting a weight on the other end of the scale.
“This is a divine grace technique written by Lan En, the second-generation sage of the Temple of Truth. It has a complete method of making divine grace stones and the power to fuse mythical organs.”
“Is this enough?”
“I just need to take a look at what eternal life looks like.”
The witch doctors looked at each other again. Although they did not speak, they were obviously communicating with each other.
Finally, all the witch doctors turned their attention.
"Can."
The leading witch doctor took off his mask, revealing a head that was completely different from that of the Trefoil Man.
Short hair, dark eyes, and simple face.
The other three-leaf man exposed his right arm, and it flew out directly.
Man created by God (head)
Man created by God (trunk)
Man created by God (left arm)
Man created by God (right arm)
Man created by God (left leg)
Man created by God (right leg)
Six parts are combined together to form a sacred luminous human body, which is the rubbing behind them, belonging to the human form.
It is also the case.
The complete life prop, the human being created by God, the existence of serial number 1.
Powerful power radiates from this human body, and all the surrounding beings feel their blood boiling instantly. It seems that just by looking at this human body, they are involuntarily starting to evolve and move towards this perfect form.
Their blood is longing to become a part of this human body.
Seeing the six limbs forming a complete human being created by God, Anhofors immediately had a different idea and at the same time thought of the pattern behind the witch doctor.
“Six parts? Is it a ritual?”
But as soon as this idea came up, he was attracted by the perfect eternal body.
Anhofors’s eyes were dull and he murmured.
“Is this the form of God?”
He finally saw what eternal life looks like.
This is an eternal treasure, exuding the breath of immortality.
His mental power immediately formed a picture and explored the secrets within the human body. He saw the inner structure of these organs, the flow of blood, and the composition of skin and hair.
Each one is extremely sophisticated, so similar to the three-leaf man, but completely different.
He believed that what was hidden in this form was the secret of eternal existence.
After a long time, the witch doctors finally recovered the life tool, the God-Made Man.
Anhofors still couldn't shake off the shock.
"ah!"
“What a perfect body, is this what the gods look like?”
The witch doctor told him: "No."
“This is a person.”
Anhofors do not understand that in their cognition they are human beings.
How could the person in front of me be a human being?
“No, we are the human beings.”
“This is the race of gods.”
“It is the form possessed by Sally, the messenger of God and the mother of life, the most perfect form in the world.”
But the witch doctor said: "You are three-leaf people. This is the real people."
Anhofors was stunned for a moment, and he asked tremblingly after a long time.
“So the Sanye people are just substitutes for humans?”
“So the Trileaf people have inherited wisdom, but cannot have eternal life?”
The witch doctors didn't say anything, but Anhofors thought he had found the answer.
He received a huge blow and turned away,
They claim to be the masters of the earth, the first intelligent beings born between heaven and earth, and the beloved children of God.
The results are now.
They were told that they were not human beings, but copies of human beings.
A substitute for man created by God.
No matter who you are as a Sanye person, you will find it difficult to accept.
The young doctor looked at Anhofors's retreating back and finally spoke: "Who is this person?"
Witch doctors have also heard of Anhoforth: "Anhoforth the evil mage, student of Haru the Fire Demon."
“A man who pursues the secret of immortality.”
The young doctor followed the witch doctor's order, walked to the bottom of the hillside, and took back two scrolls.
“So what do we do?”
The witch doctor looked at the scroll he got: "Maybe we should try a new method."
Another witch doctor also spoke: "We are one step closer to the ultimate meaning of life."
In the secret hall of the Sky Temple, the darkness was illuminated by gas lamps on the walls.
On the table.
Halu’s magic bottle emits a faint light, reflecting the words on the open scroll.
The very beginning of the scroll reads: "The Immortal Form and the Artificial Man."
Seeing the immortal form with his own eyes, Anhofors felt as if he had found a certain goal.
He thought he had found the right path, the direction leading to eternal life.
He carried out research day and night, and wrote everything he recorded in his mind on this scroll.
In addition to the dense text on the scroll, the most important thing is a mysterious pattern.
It is also the pattern behind the witch doctor.
A human figure with a round base and open arms.
There is only a blank rubbing on the back of the witch doctor, but the human body is painted very realistically on this scroll.
Even the internal organs, blood vessels, skin, and hair are drawn.
It is vivid and a perfect anatomical picture.
The little skeleton man in the bottle asked Anhofors: "How can you create such a complete life body? This is not a monster. The monster is an extraordinary life form completely relying on the blood of myth."
“Monsters are not typical beings. The blood of myth carries everything about monsters, and the brand of divine magic is their core.”
“For them, the body is just an external manifestation.”
The little skeleton man held his chin up: "You want to create perfect life, unless you can get the legendary artifact, the Mother Snail of All Things."
Anhofors had a different idea: "This is not just a living body, it is also a ritual."
“The ritual of eternal life.”
Anhofors looked at the graphics he drew with fascination in his eyes.
“Look at this pattern, how mysterious it is.”
“Look at how this human body looks like a perfect ritual formation.”
“The body obtained by the witch doctors is also divided into six parts. When combined together, it is the power of eternal life.”
“This is definitely a ritual, but the ordinary ritual is to create mortal objects, and this ritual finally created it.”
He said categorically: "It is the body of eternal life."
