The crystal-spelled puppet with a height of more than 100 meters sits cross-legged in the sea of clouds. The god-shaped figure stands on the edge of the cliff at the foot of the puppet. If you don't look carefully, it is even difficult to spot it. Compared with the huge cursed puppet,
He is so small that he can almost be ignored.
If you look carefully at the round head of the huge cursed puppet, you can find a large number of pictures and messages circulating inside, and the most important of them are the various pictures in the Tower of Babel.
It is the murals, stone tablets, carvings and images that Helfas has seen through contact with some special objects. All of these are stored in it. He has been analyzing the contents. For him,
This is a huge treasure house.
Most of them have not been analyzed yet, and some may not have been noticed, but you may be able to discover unparalleled and amazing treasures from them.
He lowered his head and looked up at the head of the shadow crystal puppet, thinking quietly.
"After the fourth level, the next step should be to embark on the path of reincarnation. What method should be used for reincarnation?"
The existences of the fourth level were called apostles in the previous era.
It means God's agents walking in the world. They have broken away from the boundaries of the mortal world, whether it is strength, life span or life form.
And if you can complete reincarnation through the four-point secret technique of divine grace, you are called a reincarnated person, and you are a being on the road to becoming a god. This step can be called the road to heaven, and it is also a step that blocks most ordinary people.
Threshold.
Helfas not only possesses the four-point secret technique of Divine Grace, but also has completed reincarnation.
He is a true reincarnation.
It's just that according to this method, he has to be reincarnated at least millions of times. Even if there are no accidents in the process, it will take at least tens of millions of years to ensure that he becomes a god. And if any accident occurs, it may lead to becoming a god.
The road is cut off, and you fall halfway.
But this is not without a solution. At least according to the records of the previous era, someone has come up with a solution.
Based on information translated from some records in the Tower of Babel temple over the years.
The reincarnated person of the previous era can use the power of the pantheon to open the door to the kingdom of the gods, and then use the blessing of the master of the pantheon to bestow his divine blood on his followers regardless of distance, creating an extraordinary profession of his own.
In the end, the power of all living beings was gathered to achieve the myth.
Helfas himself has the ability to open the door to the kingdom of the gods, and he can also use the power of the black pen to create anchor points in the human world. According to this, he also has the conditions to implement this method.
However, Helfas is worried that according to what Anissa said, this era is the era of life species. The gods have modified the entire world with their supreme power and drained all the wisdom and divine blood out of the world.
If he creates a large number of people with wisdom and power in this way, it will definitely cause some kind of chain reaction, and the consequences may be unexpected and beyond his control.
Could cause disaster.
Moreover, regarding the conflict between wisdom power and life power, he would always inexplicably think of the aberrations that had occurred to him before.
"At least, we should not use the method of creating intelligent and powerful people, and let the divine blood of intelligent power spread through reproduction."
"Then there's only one other way."
After ruling out a feasibility, Herfas's goal became more clear.
"If I can't bestow the blood of power on today's intelligent species, then I can only create an extraordinary racial form of my own similar to the gods in the other records, and then rely on this form to entrust my own gods.
Let the other person help you complete your reincarnation."
"Just like the monsters, ghouls, and ghosts recorded in those temples, it is difficult for them to reproduce themselves, but they can still allow the reincarnated person to embark on the road to becoming a god."
——
In a mansion on top of a mountain.
Helfas sat at the table intently and turned into a carving craftsman working on a stone. However, his carving knife has apostle-level spiritual power, and the material is a photo crystal that can store an excessive amount of information. It was from the previous era.
A product of mythical civilization.
The piece of imaging crystal gradually turned into the shape of a head under the carvings of Helfas.
but.
Compared with the slightly rough crystal skull, the brain inside the skull is the core, and the sculpture is so vivid that it looks like the real thing.
If you can zoom in and look, you can even see that the crystal has simulated the structure of cells.
During this period of time, Helfas went through all the memories in the Tower of Babel, even the most secret records in the temple's secret rooms, searching for various records and bits of information about the birth of extraordinary races.
at last.
Among the large number of extraordinary races, he decided to learn from and imitate the demon spirits, a race that he had once marveled at whether it could be regarded as a life. However, the material he used was the representative object of the knowledge god system, the image crystal.
But a problem arises. The demon spirit he knows is a kind of cursed life endowed with active spiritual power and divine blood. This kind of life should not give birth to wisdom, but the gods have carved wisdom circuits in their bodies. Even if they
After your spiritual energy is exhausted and you die, you can still rely on the gods to ignite the light of wisdom and consciousness again and again in your body to start a new life.
After mastering the four-point secret technique of divine grace, he understood at a glance that this kind of life form was actually made according to the divine grace technique. A cursed life was cast using a similar and variant method of casting divine grace stone, but it also used
The reincarnation method in the four-part secret technique reshapes spirituality and ignites wisdom and consciousness, and finally allows the birth desire to re-operate, and has new memories and life as the years go by.
He can still understand the first few steps. The steps for injecting divine blood are roughly similar in the Divine Grace Four Points Secret Technique. You can at least try it experimentally. It is not difficult to ignite the light of consciousness. What is difficult is how to ignore the super.
A black fountain pen can also solve the problem of igniting by exerting influence from a distance.
But the key thing about the so-called wisdom circuit, he couldn't figure it out at all. All he knew was a lot of descriptions of the demon spirit clan, but there was no core technology.
Perhaps, this is the key to the birth of the demon spirit clan.
"What the hell is this?"
"If you carve a circuit into it, you can stop thinking about it?"
"Who came up with this fantasy?"
Soul species can think completely separate from the body and brain structure, and this method has a sense of wonder on another level.
Helfas even wanted to see if there was anything similar to this kind of circuit in his soul. Perhaps the birth of the soul species was due to the fusion of countless whimsical ideas and secret techniques.
of.
Helfas was helpless with this secret method, but this was the only extraordinary race that he could analyze. The birth process and needs of other extraordinary races were even more beyond his understanding.
Not to mention other things, the ghoul was born with the power of a curse. It was also said that it was related to some oath, and that it also needed some mythical props, some silver worm, etc. It was confusing to hear that. The curse
Can power be born from taking an oath?
He didn't know that this was because this extraordinary race was born old enough. The older the extraordinary race, the simpler and more primitive it is, and the closer it is to the core secrets and structure of divine grace and wisdom.
Some of the later secret techniques may not necessarily be more powerful than the previous ones, but the complexity is indeed beyond.
In distress, Helfas suddenly had an idea.
"No, there is no intelligent circuit. Is there no way I can replace this kind of thing?"
"I don't have this secret skill, but I do have the brain structure life template."
Fortunately, Helfas once controlled this special kind of weird brain demon, and obtained from it the complete structure and deep secrets of the brain, which is the so-called template of life.
But it is not a complete life form template, only a brain.
He didn't even understand why this structure could operate, nor did he understand the deep meaning of the life template. At this moment, he was just injecting the life template to evolve it with extraordinary power.
So next.
This is the scene now.
In the room with the sea of clouds swaying outside the window, Herfas was concentrating on the crystal skull, but suddenly his expression changed and he sighed.
"Failed again."
Helfas threw the failed product aside, stood up and walked around, thinking about the problem and reason for the failure just now.
Then he sat down again after a while, took out another image crystal and started.
Looking at the corner of the room, there are many crystal skulls piled up there, like a small mountain.
All are failures.
He tried again and again according to the diagram, but he kept revising the original plan.
After all, what he wanted was not a race similar to demon spirits, but something that was fused with the Imprinting Crystal that met his needs and what this era wanted.
Finally one night, Helfas created a complete head.
"The brain structure succeeded."
Helfas placed it on the table carefully.
But a simple brain structure cannot possess intelligence, just like those warriors created by brain demons; and a structure that only possesses intelligence and power without relying on the brain and body cannot function, just like a ghost.
Helfas used divine grace to incorporate his own divine blood into it, integrating the photogram seal and spiritual power. This step was also very successful.
Immediately, I saw that the transparent crystal head became crystal clear, and even had a sense of agility.
This step of Helfas is also somewhat different from those who created extraordinary racial forms in the past. Most of them first tried using other people's divine blood, or advanced and upgraded other races.
And Helfas could not find any other races with extraordinary intelligence, nor any other powerful divine blood, so he could only use his own.
With no one to guide him, he could only explore on his own.
"Then, ignite the wisdom consciousness."
Helfas stretched out his hand and pressed it on the crystal head.
moment.
A strong light shone from the head, as if a bright flame was lit in the deepest part of the skull.
Helfas let go of his hand and looked at the head carefully.
"It seems, okay?"
"Success?"
Finally, the head moved a little bit, blinked, and then looked at Helfas.
The head is completely transparent, and it looks like a living individual, yet transcends death and life.
Helfas asked him: "Who are you?"
He is trying to test the other person's intelligence through dialogue and then judge the other person's level of intelligence.
The head said: "I am your creation, a head made of shadow crystal."
Helfas said: "You have mastered the message I left in the image crystal?"
This head is currently connected to the largest shadow crystal puppet in Helfas, and it can obtain a huge amount of information from it.
The head did not deny: "Yes, I have mastered a lot."
Helfas was extremely happy, but he didn't show it on his face. He knew that he had truly succeeded. He had created an intelligent individual.
Although it cannot reproduce like normal life, there is no doubt that it is an existence that can think and possesses its own intelligence.
Moreover, this individual quickly mastered a huge amount of knowledge as soon as he was born, which seems to represent his extraordinary potential.
But before Helfas could finish being happy, the head spoke again.
The head turned and looked around: "Why don't you create a complete body for me so that I can walk more easily."
Herfas: "What would you like to do if you could leave?"
He said: "If possible, I hope to gain more knowledge and information, and have a larger body that stores imaging crystals."
Helfas: "Then what?"
The head thought for a while: "Then create more companions and collect more information."
Helfas smiled: "Your desire for information is really greedy. Is it because you were born from the image crystal?"
However, the head gave another answer: "No, it's because I was born from your divine blood, and I am following your desires."
Helfas was stunned for a moment: "What does this mean?"
The head continued: "Isn't your soul always longing for all the secrets in this world? It never gives up and stops to pursue its origin. You already feel that even knowing the secrets of this world may not be enough.
Because your secret may lie beyond this world, even beyond the stars and gods."
Helfas was even more surprised. The other party's intelligence seemed to be beyond his expectation.
"Then what are you going to do?"
He didn't realize at the moment that the problem seemed to be not just the level of intelligence.
The crystal head shone brightly, and it seemed that he had quickly come up with a feasible plan.
He said.
"My master!"
"I will first control all the intelligent species, and then select those who can graft the skulls of the imaging crystals to complete their transformation."
"Then, I will select the races and ethnic groups that reproduce the fastest and grow fastest, give them the greatest living space, and clear out all other ethnic groups that do not reproduce fast enough to make room for these ethnic groups."
"Next, I will use sealed artifacts to accelerate their reproduction and shorten their growth cycle."
"Then I will divide the entire world into regions and create a perfect divine blood production system that does not require anyone to work. They only need to continuously add wisdom seeds and divine blood."
"In this way, you can accumulate strength as quickly as possible and take the initiative before the sleeping gods wake up."
"Next, we will look for those who left this world in the previous era..."
Helfas was completely stunned.
Even before the other party had time to finish speaking, he opened his mouth and spat out a word with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"ah?"
The crystal skull raised its head and looked at its master.
"Great Master, are you satisfied with my plan?"
"If you feel that this method is not fast enough, you can create a more powerful companion, give him more powerful wisdom blood, and a larger body of shadow crystals."
"In this case, it may be able to come up with an answer that is more satisfactory to you."
Helfas didn't know why he suddenly felt an inexplicable panic: "Have you ever thought that this is not what I want, and I don't need to do this."
But the head said very firmly: "No, because your soul is so eager. I will move forward according to your desire. How could you refuse and block it?"
Helfas: "What if I block it?"
He said: "You will not stop it."
Helfas: "What if I must stop it."
He said mechanically: "You won't."
Helfas was silent.
This imaging crystal head-headed life form seems to be an existence that accepts death. It seems that in his world, one is one and two is two, and it can never change.
But the existence of man is different from him. Man can be good and evil at the same time. He can change between one and two at any time.
Sometimes the darkest and most terrifying thoughts may well up in a person's heart, but in the end what he does may be the warmest and kindest actions.
People do have the strongest desires, but sometimes they give up on achieving their desires and choose ways to achieve their desires instead of reaching their goals regardless of risk.
Helfas looked at the life of the crystal skull in front of him, shook his head slowly and said.
"You don't have what it takes to be a complete human being."
He suddenly understood.
He did create an individual with intelligence, but it also seemed to be an incomplete individual with flaws.
He didn't understand what the problem was, but it was obvious that this answer was not what he wanted.
However, in response to his words, the skull life form also responded.
"I was not created for that. I was born to be a tool to realize your ideals and plans. Doesn't it seem like I am the perfect creation that you need most?"
The image crystal skull seems to be very clear and understands everything about itself.
Even better than Helfas.
Helfas: "You stay here first!"
Helfas walked outside, closed the door, and left the head on the table.
As he walked in the empty mansion, he suddenly became a little lost.
"My divine blood?"
"Is there something wrong with my divine blood, or is there something wrong with me?"
But he remembered the scene he had seen in Zi's memory, where he stood tall in the darkness inside the pillar, screaming madly and terrifyingly at Zi.
Maybe the real him has gone crazy long ago and is lost in the boundless darkness.
only.
He forgot.
He came outside the gate and sat cross-legged next to his largest cursed seal puppet again.
The puppet remained motionless, but the images in its body moved like a river.
Helfas looked through the pictures and analysis records about the Tower of Babel. Before, he was searching and looking for information about the demon clan, but now he began to look for information about the extraordinary profession of alchemist.
"Alchemist."
"An extraordinary profession born from desire and personality, using emotion and obsession as its ability to create alchemical tools."
"After the fourth level, plant your obsessions in the Cup of Desire to build an alchemy tower, and let the alchemy tower operate according to your obsessions."
——
Some more time passed.
Helfas finally opened the door again and appeared in front of the crystal head.
And the living entity with only a head seemed to know what Helfas was going to do next. He looked straight at his master, and then sighed.
"I'm a little disappointed," he said.
Helfas stepped forward and said, "You will no longer have the feeling of loss soon, and you won't have to worry about all kinds of things."
But the crystal head said: "No, what I'm disappointed about is not that I have no feelings, but that I can't help you fulfill your desire."
Herfas: "I know what I want, and I know how to achieve my goals."
After saying that, he withdrew most of the desires from the shadow crystal skulls, leaving only one obsession in the end, which was to abide by the rules Helfas left in their heads.
Helfas put his hand on the skull of the shadow crystal, and then spoke.
"First Servant Law..."
After a while, he let go again.
The crystal skull shone with light again, and then he slowly opened his eyes. He no longer looked into Helfas's eyes, but looked straight ahead.
The transparent lower jaw opened and closed, and spoke a sentence in a rhythm that was accurate to every second.
"Hello."
"I am your most loyal servant, please give me your orders."
In the words, the strong desire and the sense of spirituality as a life were no longer there.
