In the auxiliary city at the foot of the Holy Mountain.
The Stone Demon Merchant Group has become a well-known large business group in the royal capital, and the word "Dajin Dou Jin" is not enough to describe it.
With the advent of the ritual era, coins made of gold, silver, and copper gradually replaced the previous coins and became the main equivalent of Xiinsai.
The Stone Demon Merchant Group occupies the market by manufacturing and selling various gas lamps, fire candles, and glass lamps.
The Stone Demon Merchant Group has many small stone demons under its banner, which can be said to be strong, and its business radiates from the royal capital to the entire Xiinsai.
The owner of the business group is a middle-aged man wearing gorgeous clothes, who has recently become a popular figure in the royal capital.
And now.
The owner of the business group knelt in the yard and pressed his head tightly against the stone bricks.
Humbled into the dust.
“Lord Anhofors.”
Anhofors also did not expect that this business group, which was only used to provide funds and materials for his own experiments, could now grow to such a scale.
He said nothing but glanced at the servant, who immediately said.
“Don’t worry, Master, everything is ready.”
This is a manor by the lake.
There are castles, workshops, and fishing grounds.
The basement is divided into several floors. In the lounge on the first floor, through the thick glass, you can even see the fish swimming at the bottom of the lake.
The second floor is a huge and open square, with a pool-like structure dug out of the ground.
This is a ritual workshop.
“Master, are you satisfied with it?”
“If you are not satisfied, I can order someone to build another one.”
The former owner has long since become a powerful figure in Xiinsai, a high-ranking priest in the Temple of the Sky.
The owner of the business group got everything from Anhofors, so how dare he show any neglect.
Anhofors asked the servant to retreat, and started wandering around the underground ritual workshop alone.
Several little stone demons moved in one big box after another and began to decorate the place at the same time.
Anhofors spread out a huge scroll on the wall, with various mysterious symbols and words written on it, which made people dazzled.
Various pictures of the front and side of the human body reveal an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
This is exactly the plan and experiment he is about to launch.
However, unlike his previous plans and experiments, his final experiment this time was prepared to avoid the supervision of the priests of the Sky Temple and the King of Xinsai.
The scroll is generally divided into four steps, with names written on each step.
“The first step: creating an immortal body.” There is a structural diagram of the human body drawn on it.
“Step Two: Make the Divine Grace Stone.” The Divine Stone is emitting light, but it extends out to engrave four small stones.
“Step Three: Distribute and Create Mythical Organs.” The different organs of the human body are listed above, and each organ has the shadow of a divine grace stone on it.
“The fourth step: the birth of mythical life.” There is a human body painted on it that exudes endless light.
Of these four steps, the most important are the last two steps.
is also the most difficult.
This is also the biggest difference in Anhofors's thinking. Lan En's Divine Grace Priest only mythologized the brain.
And Anhofors wants to create a mythical being whose organs are all composed of mythical blood.
The real mythical life, the eternal existence in his imagination.
The little stone demon's extended arm took a flask out of the box and placed it on the table that had just been placed.
The little skeleton man imprisoned in the bottle looked at the huge scroll on the wall and said: "It's really spectacular."
Anhofors asked it: "Do you think there's anything wrong with it?"
Skeleton Man is not only an experiment he created, but also his companion and assistant in the experimental plan.
The little skeleton man imprisoned in the bottle put forward his own idea: "You think that the human body is a ritual for immortality, and then you create a ritual carrier through suturing. You have seen a real immortal body before this step, so I won't comment."
“But to create a mythical life, it definitely requires a lot of mythical blood and a lot of divine grace stones?”
“Furthermore, the plundered mythical blood will carry the memories and emotions of the living before, and even the monsters created are uncontrollable and crazy, and only the second generation can control and control them.”
“How do you solve this problem?”
Anhofors was already prepared. He pointed to the second part of the scroll: "What do you think humans are made of?"
The little skeleton man thought for a moment: "The body is still conscious."
Anhofors nodded: "I have created many monsters and seen the consciousness of many people. The impurities and backlash of the mythical blood can be said to be brought about by these consciousnesses and memories."
“Human consciousness can be roughly divided into four parts.”
He pointed to the scrolls on the wall and the branches demarcated on the Grace Stone.
“Spirituality: This is the foundation of all consciousness and the power of the blood of myth.”
“Wisdom: a derivative of the power of wisdom, an extension of spirituality.”
“Knowledge: It is also people’s memory. No matter what kind of memory it is, it can be said to be people’s cognition of the world, and it is also knowledge.”
“**: It is also a human emotion, fear, greed, kindness, and madness are all one of them.”
“These four things constitute the main structure of a person’s will.”
Anhofors drew a circle on the wall, just passing through the four small charisma stones.
“And the creation of the Divine Grace Stone is the blood of myth fused with spiritual power, and then fused with human consciousness.”
“It is difficult to peel off these things from the Divine Grace Stone, or in other words, it will be incomplete if the Divine Grace Stone is stripped off.”
“When I made the Divine Grace Stone, I prepared to break it down.”
“Made into spiritual stones, wisdom stones, knowledge stones, and sexual stones respectively.”
“The spiritual stone is used to deify his body, the wisdom stone is used to deify his brain, the memory stone is used to deify his eyes, and the sexual stone is used to deify his internal organs.”
“Thus, every organ in his body becomes a mythical organ, and finally becomes a complete, complete mythical life.”
“Instead of integrating all these mixed things into his brain, making him a madman with chaotic thinking.”
“In this way, only wisdom exists in his brain.”
“The spirituality, memory and body in the plundered mythical blood will be separated from the body and become a power he can control, just like controlling his own body, and will no longer directly affect its brain and wisdom.”
The little skeleton man in the bottle stood up and leaned against the glass wall.
His eyes looked at Anhofors with admiration.
"Wonderful."
“It’s really wonderful.”
“You can decompose human consciousness to this point, I have to say you are a genius.”
“In this case, he will become a blank white cloth with a mind that you can paint on.”
“Wrong.”
“His body also contains the knowledge and power of countless people, which he can use at his disposal.”
Anghofors shook his head: "This is not just my research, but a secret that the Samo family has spent generations of exploration to learn. It is also the core thing recorded in the secret of immortality."
“Paired with Lan En’s “Divine Grace”, it’s completely different.”
The little skeleton man in the bottle looked carefully at the huge scroll posted on the wall: "Then what?"
“What kind of chapter are you going to draw in the mind of this mythical being with a blank memory?”
“The Samo family’s secret technique of immortality will not work. Don’t pray or hope to transfer your consciousness and divine blood. There is a high probability that something will go wrong, and it is impossible for you to conduct multiple experiments to try it.”
“Accept him as your student?”
“Or let him be your thug, your helper in conquering the world and creating an empire?”
Anhofors shook his head: "That's so boring."
He looked at his artificial man plan and immortality ceremony, his eyes full of pride and obsession.
"at last."
“I will make a copy of my memories and emotions and integrate them into his mythical brain.”
“As for what he wants to do, let him do it!”
“I just looked at him quietly.”
“Looking at the other me who has become a myth, the me who far exceeds me in wisdom and strength, the me who lives forever.”
“What kind of things can be done, and what limits can be achieved by breaking the rules?”
The smile on Anhofors's face appeared, but there was a crazy color at the bottom of his eyes.
can only say.
As expected of being a descendant of the Samo family and the grandson of the Mad King?
“I will create a mythical person with my own hands!”
"No!"
“He is God, a newly born God.”
He wanted to create another self, one with his own thoughts and his own will.
Having everything of one’s own….
another me.
Little Skeleton Man in a Bottle: "You are a genius and also a madman."
“Aren’t you afraid that the self you created will kill you? Normal people will not create two selves, let alone accept that there are two selves in the world.”
Anhofors: "My body is just a mortal, destined to die."
“Died in the years and became an unknown corner of the world.”
“In a thousand years, no one will remember me in ten thousand years.”
“And now.”
“Not only am I not dead.”
“My will and everything continues in him to the end of the years.”
He closed his eyes, as if listening to a melodious piece of music.
“How interesting!”
“I personally created a me that transcends the mortal self, a mythical life of me, and an immortal me.”
"ah!"
“It’s really wonderful.”
the next day.
The Stone Demon Merchant Group sent a few corpses, and people died every day in the city. To this day, many places still maintain the habit of using the corpses of three-leaf people to make bone tools, which are not difficult to obtain.
Anhofors obtained the internal organs of the three-leafed people, put them into glass jars, and soaked them in liquid.
Then, the Stone Demon Merchant Group sent a corpse of a citizen of the Demonic Abyss, and Anhofors took out the muscles of the people of the Demonic Abyss.
He obtained the skin that had been shed by the giant beast in the sky from the fallen descendants of the Silon family as the skin of the artificial human.
He uses various methods to obtain the parts he wants from different lives.
Finally, through the power of ritual, these different organs and tissues are sewn together.
In the ritual workshop on the second floor under the castle, there is an extra "person" placed on the stone platform.
He created a stitched human body that is extremely close to a human being, but is pieced together by various lives.
However, according to Anhofors, this is the carrier of the immortality ritual.
This took Anhofors more than half a month.
Also on this day, he did nothing.
Instead, he was sitting on the table and looking at the little skeleton man in the flask.
Anhofors is a friendless man. He is a hermit immersed in his own world. All he cares about is mysterious power and the pursuit of eternal secrets.
The little skeleton man in the bottle is the only person he can talk to. They cannot be called friends.
More like a master and his loyal servant.
The little skeleton man in the bottle also looked at Anhofors, grinned and said.
“The blood of myth is not enough, is it?”
“But there is a lot of mythical blood in the magic bottle, and I have the mythical blood you need.”
Anhofors did not speak, but the little skeleton man continued.
"so."
“What are you hesitating about?”
“Are you worried about the contract with the spiritual world?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you pay the price.”
Anhofors shook his head: "It's not a contract with the spiritual world."
The little skeleton man in the bottle laughed even harder: "What is that?"
“You are so crazy that you can give up yourself, how can you still not give up on me?”
It’s face was pressed tightly against the glass wall, its eyes widened as it looked at Anhofors in front of the table.
The light from the lamp penetrates the glass bottle, but its small body casts a long and narrow shadow.
“Anhofors, when did you have such unnecessary emotions?”
“I am a dead thing, a tool to follow you to explore the mystery of eternal life.”
Anhoforth: "Are you so eager to become a stepping stone on my way forward?"
The little man in the bottle seems to have the same madness as Anhofors: "If this is your wish, I am willing to be a stepping stone to your wish."
Anhofors chuckled and tapped the glass bottle with his fingers.
"Well."
“Let’s uncover the mystery of eternal life together.”
Anhofors moved his hands, and the formation patterns under his feet continued to rotate and light up.
He pressed his hand on the flask, and the shadows of the fire demons rushed out of the flask, roaring in the ritual workshop, but an invisible force could be seen constantly compressing them, and finally with a pop
With a sound they collapsed and disappeared.
The little skeleton man is still imprisoned in the flask, but his body is melting little by little.
Even the little stone demons in the ritual workshop died one after another, and the power in their bodies turned into light spots and fell into the bottle.
In the magic bottle, more and more mythical blood has gathered.
Stirring up the waves of the sea of blood.
When the little skeleton man was about to disappear, he asked Anhofors: "Anhofors, I want to ask you a question."
Anhofors lowered his head: "You asked!"
The little skeleton man asked him: "Who was I before?"
“Why don’t I have the consciousness I had before I was alive?”
Anhofors said calmly: "Before you existed, you were just a dead skeleton that I picked up casually."
The little skeleton man laughed: "So...that's it!"
“I, a waste like me, can become a part of an eternal person, a part of another you.”
“It’s really an honor!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the little skeleton man melted little by little under the light.
Completely disappeared.
Anhofors picked up the flask and stirred the divine blood inside.
He received a large amount of mythical blood and could then start his own experiments.
He also lost the only person with whom he could talk, in exchange for a success in his exploration of eternal life.
Anhofors was not telling the truth.
The small bone man was made from part of his own bones. It was actually the first one made by Anhofors.
another me.
The master of the Stone Demon Merchant Group quietly entered the castle and once again brought a batch of supplies that Anhofors needed.
Anhofors looked casually, looking at the holy lake outside the window.
Not a single delicacy on the table was touched, and my mind had already gone elsewhere.
"Owner!"
“Why are those little stone monsters missing?”
The servant asked cautiously.
Anhofors turned his head, and just one glance made the servant tremble.
“The Stone Demon Merchant Group is mine, and the Stone Demon is also a servant created by me.”
“Do I need to explain to you where they go?”
The owner of the business group knelt down in fear and said, "No."
“Master, I just want to ask.”
Anhofors had the things delivered to the first floor of the basement, and then went back and started his own experiment.
The blood of myth has been made into the Divine Grace Stone according to Anhofors's needs.
It’s just that Anhofors’ Divine Grace Stone is obviously different from ordinary Divine Grace Stones. There are subtle differences in color, and they are classified into four types.
He held the scroll of "Divine Grace" in one hand, and while chanting the incantation, his mental power set off a strong pressure.
Things in the entire underground ritual workshop were levitating because of his powerful spiritual power.
Four divine grace stones floated above the human body, and the magic array under his feet lit up.
The power of the ritual is activated, and the creation of the deified organs begins.
Anhofors gives orders and spiritual power controls everything: "Spiritual Stone~"
“Corresponding to the body.”
The first thing to be deified was the artificial human body.
The Divine Grace Stone is integrated into the body, and one can see that the originally pale and dry skin turns into a jade-like luster.
A terrifying mental force field burst out.
The entire underground ritual workshop was shrouded in the light of myth and turned into a blazing white.
Had it not been blocked by the ritual formation, this power would have burst through the sky in an instant, attracting the attention of the entire royal capital.
“The stone of knowledge corresponds to the eyes,” a divine grace stone fell from the formation pattern and merged into the eyes.
The dim eyes were filled with luster for an instant, and you could even see countless pictures passing through those eyes, from which you could see the lives of many people, as well as the lives of monsters and monsters.
With the light reflected from the eyes, you can see the densely packed symbols and characters.
It was the knowledge of one powerful priest after another, the power they wielded.
“The stone of blood corresponds to the internal organs.” The colorful light blends into the internal organs, the heart, kidneys, spleen, and lungs, which light up one after another, revealing the brilliance of temptation, resentment, and hope.
The brilliance is so psychedelic that people want to be immersed in it involuntarily.
“The stone of wisdom corresponds to the brain.” At this step, Anhofors began to become cautious.
He was floating in mid-air, holding the Divine Grace Stone in one hand.
The index finger and middle finger of the other hand pressed the center of his eyebrows, and wisps of light and shadow continued to fly out from the center of his eyebrows and merged into this stone of wisdom.
He copied all his memories, from childhood to adulthood, into this divine stone.
Then, put it down.
The stone fell, penetrating the head like an illusory shadow and integrating into the brain of the "artificial human".
This time.
Qualitative change has occurred.
The "artificial man" floated directly up, with its arms spread out and suspended in the air.
The appearance of the artificial man has changed, and its outline has become somewhat similar to Anhofors.
One of them looks like a three-leaf man, and the other looks like a human being.
But the eyes and the corners of the mouth.
so similar.
What was originally just a sutured human body, like a corpse or a prop, started to slowly come to life.
“Gudong!”
“Gudong!”
The sound of the heartbeat came out, and the rhythm of the sound made the head dizzy.
Anhofors even felt that his mythical blood was beginning to agitate and even wanted to rush out of his body.
That is a scene that can only be caused by the existence of power far above his personality.
“I succeeded.”
“I really succeeded.”
He had a smile on his face and looked calm.
But you can see that his fingers are trembling.
Anhofors was extremely excited, even a little uncontrollable.
“Other me!”
“Please wake up now!”
“Tell me what kind of great being you are and how far you can surpass me.”
He turned back and looked at the table in the corner.
He wanted to find that figure from the past and share his happiness and excitement.
However.
All you see is an empty bottle.
At this time, the artificial man floating in mid-air suddenly encountered an accident.
Four different rays of light extend within its body, spreading to every corner of the body, trying to deify every tissue and organ.
But it’s obvious.
The power of myth seems to be somewhat insufficient. As soon as it spreads out of its core position, it becomes powerless.
“Hiss!”
Anhofors miscalculated the horrific divine blood needed to create a mythical life.
Although he thought he had given enough divine blood, in fact it was only a drop in the bucket.
The amount of divine blood required to create a mythical life entity was far beyond his imagination.
“Artificial humans” continue to condense and become smaller and smaller.
From a human form, he gradually degenerated into a child.
Then it continued to degenerate, and finally turned into an embryo no bigger than a fist.
Looks like a little mouse.
At this time, the power of myth spread to every corner of the body.
But gradually.
It became strange, turning into a shadow that seemed to be composed of light and dust.
The body is light and dust is black, the brain is white, and the eyes are transparent.
And the body is filled with colored light dust.
The moment it appeared, a strong will enveloped the earth.
The Sanye people in several nearby villages and towns a few kilometers away fell into a state of trance at the same time, and then fell down and fell asleep.
In the underground workshop, Anhofors watched as the newly born embryo, which he did not know what it was, was about to disperse immediately amid violent tremors and shaking.
"not good."
In order to maintain its existence, Anhofors had to put the embryo into a magic bottle.
Relying on the magic circle on the magic bottle and the special environment inside, Anhofors stabilized its form.
In a flask.
A new life was born.
This is an embryo composed entirely of mythical blood. He imitates the appearance of gods and inherits human names.
He was not created by God, but was born from a forbidden experiment.
And if you want it to truly grow up and wake up, it will require an unimaginably huge amount of mythical blood.
Anhofors held the flask, and he didn't know whether it was a success.
Still failed.
“What the hell is this?”
"I failed?"
The being inside the bottle cannot speak to him, let alone give Anhofors answers.
Anhofors looked confused.
It cost so much,
In the end, he got such an unknown thing, and the result was completely different from what he imagined.
Anhofors stayed in the underground ritual workshop for a few more days before finally coming up from below.
till the end.
He still didn't understand what he had created.
When he walked out of the underground, a large group of people outside were waiting for him anxiously.
The strange scene that appeared around me before was the strange scene where people in several villages and towns all fell asleep.
In their dreams, they all said they saw a terrifying and terrifying monster.
This frightened the leader of the Stone Demon Merchant Group.
He thought something unexpected had happened to Anhofors, but he did not dare to break into the underground ritual workshop.
Seeing Anhofors walk out safely, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Owner."
“How was it? Did you succeed?”
Anhoforth: "You seem to care about what I'm doing?"
Servant: "Everything I have comes from you, of course we are concerned about your safety and everything."
The experiment is over.
Anhofors returned to the Sky Temple with the results of his experiment, the flask and the embryos in it.
The previous excuse for leaving the outside world was to go to the outside world to collect experimental materials. This is also very common. He has already gone out once this year.
On the way back, Anhofors's eyes were empty.
"what to do?"
“Should we keep doing it? Or should we give up?”
If he continues on, he may spend a huge price only to get a wrong result, and end up with the same fate as his grandfather and teacher.
A madman, an unfathomably stupid villain.
He can pay a price, but it is not a unnecessary price.
At least.
See what he wants to see after paying a heavy price.
Isn’t it?
However, if we don’t continue, will everything we have done before be in vain?
The Little Skeleton Man also sacrificed his life for his failed experiment.
Anhofors returned to the Temple of the Sky. He slowly walked up from the secret passage in the City of Servants of the Gods, and dusk gradually turned into night.
When darkness falls, the moon has long been waiting on the other side of the sky.
Under the moonlight.
There was someone waiting for him, as if he had already known that he would return to the Sky Temple through this road.
That man had a tall figure, wore a white priest's robe, and had a string of silver bells in his hand.
After seeing him, he immediately ran down the stairs.
With a beautiful voice.
“I have met His Highness Yaya.”
Anhofors regarded it as a chance encounter and nodded to her.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know her identity before, but you should still respect her after you find out.
“I’ve been waiting for you to come home and want to talk to you.”
Princess Yaya was a little shy. In her opinion, Anhofors agreed to marry her, and the relationship between them would be different.
Anhofors felt funny: "Wait for me?"
"go home?"
“I have no home.”
He is the son of Anhuo, and he is a descendant of the noble Samo family.
but.
The Samo family died when he was born.
He has never felt a moment when someone was waiting for him to come home, and he has never been home.
Although this princess named after Crescent Moon, her appearance and personality can be called beautiful and gentle in the eyes of the Sanye people.
But Anhofors is obviously not a sentimental person. He is a rational and crazy person who pursues something different from ordinary people.
Her Royal Highness the Princess stopped. This was a completely different scene than she had imagined.
She was happy for many days when she heard that Anhofors had promised her father.
She was also looking forward to it, waiting here for many days for Anhofors to come back.
“Do you really hate me that much?”
“If you don’t like it so much, why don’t you refuse His Majesty the King?”
Anhofors: “There is no dislike or like.”
"I just."
“I just don’t care.”
He turned and left: "If you don't like it, you can tell His Majesty the King."
“Tell your majesty that I am not a suitable candidate to be a husband.”
“It’s not too late yet.”-
Dream world.
A new name has appeared in the ranking of props on the Cup of God.
Magical props·The little man in the bottle (embryo)
Serial number 2
The Trileaf people always call themselves human beings, but they don’t know that in the eyes of God, they have never been human. The Trileaf people and humans are two completely different existences; the crazy evil mage Anhofus in order to explore eternal life
He wanted to use taboo evil methods to create artificial humans, but in the end he created this weird life.
It is still just an embryo, and no one knows what kind of existence it will grow into.
This is an unformed magical prop, but more importantly.
It is already serial number 2 before it is fully formed, surpassing the Sacred Ark and second only to the Life Item·The Man Made by God.
Yin Shen looked at the projection of this magical prop.
The expression is dull.
Three-leaf people say they touch taboos, they say they pursue eternal life, they say they see the secrets of gods.
In his opinion, it is just a ridiculous and boring farce.
However, Yin Shen still saw something he wanted to see: "It turns out that the bloodline of wisdom and power will become like this after the whole body is deified."
The goblin didn’t understand: “What kind of thing?”
Yin Shen: "Anhofors wants to create artificial humans."
“But I don’t know that the mythical bloodlines of different powers are different. The bloodline of wisdom power is the embodiment of consciousness and thinking, and the path is contrary to life from the beginning.”
“A completely mythical body with wisdom bloodline must ultimately be an existence that is biased towards the spiritual body.”
The goblin was a little worried: "It won't cause any disaster!"
Yin Shen has watched Sanye Renming for so long and has some ideas.
“Every advance of the Ming Dynasty will be accompanied by risks and disasters.”
“They want to pursue a better life, they want to pursue a longer life, and that’s understandable.”
“But while they pursue greater power, a more comfortable life, and more developed civilization, they will inevitably bring about all kinds of unpredictable changes.”
“Whether it’s a madman or a wise man, their motivation is to pursue progress. They are all part of Ming. They are all bringing seeds of hope and disaster at the same time.”
Yin Shen: "Don't worry about him."
“More importantly, can you determine whether the final direction after our intervention will be good or bad?”
“Have we removed the seeds of destruction? Or have we eradicated the hope of enlightenment?”
“Fate is something that even God cannot control. You never know what the final result of your actions will be.”
Yin Shen walked towards the temple: "Three-leaf people's affairs should be handled by the three-leaf people themselves."
The goblins followed Yin Shen step by step: "What if they can't control it themselves and cause a disaster of mass extinction?"
Yin Shen said calmly: "That's it."
“Enter the next era!”
Even though he said this, the goblin still showed a worried look.
Yin Shen entered the temple, and his figure disappeared in an instant.
Leave only one sentence: "Whatever you want to do, just do it!"
“In a long life, there is always something to do.”
Too.
You can’t be like the God of Insai and sleep all day long!
