The atomic universe, the top floor of the Tower of Babel.
The entire hall was covered with silver-white, light green, and transparent lines, which extended from the walls, floors, ceilings, and voids, forming a dense and complex magic circle.
And in the center where these lines converge, a liquid full of vitality continues to condense, like a hot spring source, flowing around, filling the circular altar where it is located.
Looking at the vibrant green in the altar, Lucian smiled at Natasha beside him and said, "The 'Gift of Nature' ceremony is ready."
"But how is this different from what I heard from Granny Hathaway?" Natasha looked at the legendary ritual components around her with interest.
A long time ago, she heard from Hathaway about the general scene of the "Gift of Nature" ceremony, because it was Fernando and Hathaway who helped Douglas preside over the ceremony, and this legendary ritual of extending life is centered on the "Spirit Tree Fruit", through the transformation of magic circles and corresponding complex steps, the power inside is extracted, and the soul and body of the recipient are fused in the form of illusory magic patterns, so as to achieve the purpose of prolonging life.
This is the highest level of life ritual, which can increase life by 3,000 to 6,000 years depending on the quality of the elf tree fruit, the quality of the ritual materials, whether the ritual is running perfectly, and the strength of the recipient himself.
But now the scene in the hall was so different, Natasha neither saw the elf tree fruit nor the corresponding magic circle components - although she didn't understand similar magic circles, the appearance and operation of some of the magic required for the "Gift of Nature" ritual were very obvious and could be seen at a glance.
And most importantly, there will be no "pool water" similar to hot springs in the center of the "Gift of Nature" ceremony!
Lucian maintained a smiling expression: "You forgot, we still have the 'Fountain of Youth', so I combined its characteristics to modify the 'Gift of Nature' ritual, although the quality of the 'Fountain of Youth' is not as good as the elf tree fruit, it cannot increase the upper limit, but it can effectively increase the base value, so the current 'Gift of Nature' ritual can last for 5,000 to 6,000 years, and can be used by two people."
"'Fountain of Immortality'?" Natasha then remembered Lucian's gains in the necromancer, and then looked at the hot spring-like pool in the center of the magic ceremony, and suddenly felt relieved, the "Fountain of Youth" should be in this state, "No need to find Hathaway and Your Excellency the Storm Lord to preside?"
Most legendary ceremonies need to be presided over by legendary powerhouses.
Lucian looked at the "pool water" in the center that combined the power of "Elf Tree Fruit" and "Fountain of Youth", and said with a smile: "No, this ritual that I have improved does not need another legendary presiding over it, as long as there is a legendary magician among the recipients, it can be effectively guided and controlled without any problems, it is a simple, convenient, efficient and comfortable life-extending ritual that integrates simplicity, convenience, efficiency and comfort."
Hearing Lucian's final description, Natasha couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, I now believe that you came up with those weird and fun advertising slogans in the 'Voice of Mystery' and 'World Reality' channels......"
"Haven't I always admitted it frankly?" Lucian spread his hands.
Natasha stopped laughing and her expression became serious: "What to do next?"
"Well, just soak in the water of the altar like a hot spring, and the ritual will automatically drive the power of the 'Spiritual Tree Fruit' and the 'Fountain of Youth' to immerse into our bodies." Lucian said with a serious expression, "In order to ensure the effect, you cannot wear any magic items."
"What?" Natasha was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Need a naked soaking ceremony? You wouldn't do it on purpose, would you?"
"Am I that kind of person? This is determined by the characteristics of the 'Fountain of Youth'." Lucian was serious.
"Really?" Natasha smiled, "Actually, I like this kind of creativity very much."
As she spoke, the lilac court dress she was wearing slowly fell to the ground like a fluttering butterfly, and the remaining clothes also flew one by one, slowly but full of temptation, revealing her infinitely beautiful body little by little.
Just like every time she took a bath, Natasha stretched out her toes and tapped some water in the pool, and then walked step by step towards the center of the emerald green pool, her body was gradually submerged by the water, and suddenly, she turned her head and looked at Lucian floating outside the altar, smiling playfully and with a faint charm: "Come on, don't be shy."
…………
Time seemed to pass quickly, the emerald green "pool water" became less and less, and both Lucian and Natasha felt that the liquid was slowly melting into their bodies and souls, bringing a wonderful feeling of clean, refreshing, and ethereal, and their whole body was completely relaxed.
"The ritual has been resolved, and as long as it is not interrupted by anyone, it will be completely successful, even now, I feel that my life has improved a lot, about four thousand years." In a quiet atmosphere, Lucian suddenly spoke, his voice was lazy due to the relaxation from the depths of his soul.
Natasha leaned on Lucian and said lazily: "I feel that the stress, anxiety, and worries about many things that I usually accumulate have been washed away by the spring water.
In this situation, she thought of what to say.
"Music festival?" Lucian asked in a rather ethereal voice.
"Yes, I have always wanted to hold a famous 'Rentat Music Festival' on the mainland, which can be regarded as pinning my longing for Arto, but in the past few years, there were not many musicians who could get rid of Rentat, but they were rich in playwrights, and it was not until this year, due to the foundation laid in the previous years, a group of very good musicians emerged, I was ready to start this matter, hehe, under your influence, Rentat is more popular in light music and various unconventional symphonies, I hope this can become the difference between Rentat's music and Aalto music......"
Although she likes Alto very much, Natasha does not have the idea of turning Rentat into a second Alto, she respects the cultural customs here, "When the time comes, I hope to use your "Valkyrie" opera as the opening of the 'music festival'.
Lucian underestimated the difficulty of opera creation, and it was truly original and demanding excellence, so he did not complete the work, which took nearly four years, until the electronic double-slit interference experiment, and was rehearsing with opera singers and the band.
"This is a gift for you, you can see it whenever you want." Lucian had no objection, "But we have to wait until 'Chaos Starry Sky' gets the 'Space-Time Slate'."
He was ready and planned to set off for the "Chaotic Starry Sky" on the 555th floor of the Endless Abyss in the near future.
"Of course, all my attention is now on the Endless Abyss and the 'Chaotic Starry Sky'......" Natasha sighed contentedly.
Ten minutes later, the emerald green "pool water" completely disappeared, and Lucian and Natasha were surrounded by layers of light green translucent light.
All the parts of the surrounding magic ritual lit up, and the energy converged, creating a huge and special pressure.
The transparent light contracted violently, penetrating into Lucian and Natasha's souls and bodies, and a faint natural fragrance emanated from their bodies.
"It has extended its life by about 5,600 years." Lucian said based on the feedback from the ritual and his own condition.
Natasha smiled and said: "So, I will have a long enough 'schedule' to catch up with you, and I won't be frustrated and admit defeat if I fall behind in a short period of time! I will definitely be able to catch up with you!"
She clenched her fists, her "fighting spirit" high.
…………
St. Ivan Fort, the capital of the Northern Shahran Empire.
"Pope, Lucian? Evans has only one recent paper, no, a book, "Fundamentals of Mathematics", which mainly solves the development problems in the field of mathematics and raises some problems." "Saint" Clement reported intelligence to Pope Berkovsky.
Berkovsky, who has a big nose typical of the Shahran Empire, nodded slightly: "This is no problem, thank you for your hard work, Clement."
In the Northern Church, the pope is only half a rank higher than the members of the cardinal conference, and does not have the authority and status of the pope, so his words are quite polite.
"Your Majesty, why do you have to pay attention to Lucian? What does Evans' research progress have to do with us?" Clement asked puzzled.
Berkovsky said solemnly: "Lucian? Evans has been to the Immortal Corridor and opened the Immortal Chamber, and his research results are likely to reflect this aspect of things, such as the previous quantum superposition state gave me some new ideas."
"So that's how it is." Clement got up to take his leave, left St. Ivan the Cathedral, and returned to his own St. Gono Cathedral.
As soon as he entered the prayer room, his peaceful and quiet face showed a gloomy and hateful expression, and he whispered to himself: "Lucian? Evans ......"
At the same time, he draws a cross on his chest, short at the top and bottom, and long on the left and right!
The Horizontal Cross Secret Sect within the Northern Church was created by him and the "Lord of Hell", otherwise it would not have been possible for the Lord of Hell to infiltrate the Northern Church to such an astonishing level.
Although Lucian's action to sabotage their plan was secret, with the presence of the Lord of Hell, Clement still knew who the murderer of Ivanovsky's death was, so he was ready to send his men to teach him a lesson and let him go to hell to repent of what he had done.
However, Lucian's strength increased faster than he could imagine, and every time he sent a subordinate, he would find that Lucian's strength was beyond what he could handle, so he had to re-send it - this kind of secret church could not easily deploy people like the Southern Church, and then repeated the previous process, and when Clement freed up his hands and planned to find an opportunity for himself, he learned the news of Lucian's promotion to the legend.
There is no news that makes him more angry than this, his revenge plan has not yet had time to be carried out, and the other party's strength has continued to jump and improve, reaching a level that is difficult to solve under normal circumstances, how many years has it been?
So, Clement wisely aborted the plan, no one would take revenge on a legend for such a trivial matter, unless he was a madman like Will of the Abyss!
"Strength is the ...... of everything," Clement prayed before the cross.
While praying, he suddenly felt a sacred and inexplicable aura gathering on the cross in front of him, and a little milky white holy light rippled out.
Then, a handsome angel projection like a woman appeared in front of him, with thirty-six wings slowly spreading out behind him.
"King of Angels?"
Clement blurted out in astonishment, he didn't understand why the King of Angels was able to penetrate the heavy defensive projections of the church to descend, nor why the King of Angels who worked with the Southern Church appeared in front of him!
Thank you for becoming the leader of the alliance ~ the first is to ask for a guaranteed monthly pass~
