Chapter 96: Forging Immortality
Wu Chang looked at the key in his hand, confusion appearing on his face.

No, man, do I still need you with this?
Why are you posting the task here? Don’t you understand your identity and situation until now?

Ebert saw the confusion on Wu Chang's face and asked, "Any other questions? If you have any, please speak quickly. I'm a little tired."

Wu Chang shook his head. "No problem. You should have a good rest."

After saying this, he reactivated "spreading plague" and "warding off evil spirits".

Just when Ebert felt that his health was getting better, the illness came back again, even more severe than before. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Wu Chang curled his lips, turned around, his face full of panic.

He ran to the door and shouted outside: "Nurse! Nurse! Professor Ebbett is dying!"

Ten minutes later, the disease successfully defeated Professor Ebert.

This master scholar in the theology and history circles of the Kingdom of Ogri died inexplicably in a simple ward on a deserted island.

Why was Wu Chang so sure that Ebert died in unclear circumstances?

Because this old professor, whose will and inspiration were extraordinary, left behind a bloody will after his death.

The last words were not attached to him, but to the lighthouse key that was handed to him.

The color of the bloody will is not ordinary bright red, but deep red.

Wu Chang said to the young nurse beside him: "Things in life are unpredictable, don't you think?"

The young nurse nodded. She wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

Wu Chang sighed and said, "He was an elder I respected. His passing made me very sad, so I need some comfort."

The young nurse blushed and gave Wu Chang a hug just like before.

“You are truly an angel in white.”

After feeling the girl's innocence again, Wu Chang left the town hospital, humming some music, and walked towards the lighthouse on the beach.

The lighthouse on the seashore is about fourteen meters high and has five floors.

The lighthouse was built when Earl Germaine first arrived at Brever Island, mainly to provide directions for merchant ships.

After the port of Briver was completed, the lighthouse was no longer needed for guidance, so the top floor of the lighthouse was sealed off and handed over to Professor Ebert for management and use in astrology research.

The main job of a lighthouse manager is to maintain the normal use of the lighthouse, including the maintenance of facilities inside and outside the lighthouse, but he does not actually operate the lighthouse.

When Wu Chang arrived at the shore, he saw Ji Feng following the old lighthouse keeper, clearing the bird droppings accumulated outside the tower.

Jian Xing has already told other helpers how Wu Chang became a town councilor, and also included Wu Chang's speculation about the value of good and evil.

Because of this, Ji Feng was working extra hard at the moment and did not notice Wu Chang approaching.

He didn't ask to become a councillor, he just wanted his goodness and evilness value to be higher so that he could avoid being attacked by the townspeople.

As a town councilor, Wu Chang was very pleased to see Ji Feng working hard, so he planned to let him rest for a while.

He put on the Shadow Mask, summoned the Mist Demon, and whispered, "Let them sleep for a while."

A wave hit the cliff next to the lighthouse, creating a cloud of mist.

The fog monster carried the water mist and turned into a cold wind, enveloping Gale and the lighthouse keeper.

Under the power of the fifteenth-level fog demon, the two men had no power to resist. Their heads tilted and they fell into an illusion and fell asleep.

Wu Chang waved his hand to take the fog monster back, and then walked into the lighthouse openly.

He walked up the stairs inside the lighthouse. The lighthouse was equipped with an ordinary wooden door, but it opened automatically when he approached, welcoming his arrival.

On the top floor of the lighthouse is an observatory room with a large telescope. Scattered around it are Ebert's manuscripts, which record the trajectory of celestial bodies and his messy interpretation of the stars.

These manuscripts look fancy and seem to be the real thing, but they are actually fakes just to deal with some uninvited guests.

Wu Chang took out the key given to him by Ebert, closed his eyes, and following the guidance of inspiration, inserted the key into the star map drawn on the wall.

As the key was inserted, the clicking sound of mechanical gears was heard from the top floor of the lighthouse.

Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows on the stargazing side, you can see the top floor of the lighthouse rotating.

The top floor of the lighthouse rotated 180 degrees, and after an obvious pause as the machinery stopped moving, the lighthouse became quiet again.

Looking out, the sunny sky facing the floor-to-ceiling windows has turned into a deep starry sky.

He has entered the other world of the lighthouse.

Walking down from the top floor of the lighthouse, you can see that the lighthouse in the other world is filled with various alchemical devices and mystical ritual props.

The entire lighthouse is like a huge alchemy workshop.

In the center of the first floor of the lighthouse stands a huge obsidian slab with a complex human body diagram engraved on it.

The human body diagram is accurate to every blood vessel and every muscle. Just looking at this drawing, one would think it is the most advanced anatomy textbook in the copy plane.

The human body diagram was filled with notes, marking each part of each area and what materials were needed to create it.

Only if you look closely will you realize that this is not an anatomical diagram, but an assembly drawing.

The human body, no, it is the assembly diagram of the divine body.

If it were any other player, they would definitely be surprised by what they found, but Wu Chang, who had already seen Ebert's resentment, was mentally prepared for the scene before him.

He looked at the huge obsidian slab, but his gaze returned to Ebert's resentment.

Ebert's resentment was extremely deep. It was not the resentment he felt when he was dying, but the resentment that lasted throughout his entire life and filled him with all his energy.

…In the office, an elderly man in a professor’s robe threw the thick manuscript in his hand directly into the fireplace and said angrily:
"It's ridiculous. God is high above us. We are the supreme beings born as gods. Using human power to explore the realm of God is a blasphemy against God. Ebert, are you worthy of your faith by doing such a blasphemous thing? You deserve to be hanged more than those pirates!"

"Go away. Ogri First University doesn't need scum like you."

……

A team of fully armed knights kicked open the barn door and dragged a thin middle-aged man out like a dead dog.

The leading knight stepped on the man's face, pointed at the bones, stone slabs, and various strange antiques piled in the barn, and shouted:
"Burn this blasphemous place! Then tie up this damned blasphemer and send him to the Inquisition!"

……

Inside the dungeon, on the cold floor, the archbishop in a black robe came alone late at night. He said to the middle-aged man lying on the ground with scars all over his body and dying:

"I read your paper and it's very interesting. I can give you a chance. Do you want to try it?"

The next day, a heretic with a sack covering his head was hanged in front of the church.

The next day, a group of serious criminals escaped from prison and slaughtered people in the city, killing and injuring hundreds of people. Coincidentally, the middle-aged man's friends, colleagues, acquaintances, including the neighbor who reported the man and the leader of the Knights who arrested him, all died in this man-made disaster.

A month later, Archbishop Gilman personally brought a church scholar to the First University of Ogden and appointed him as a professor of theology and archaeology.

……

In the basement of Ogri Holy Light Cathedral, a little girl opened her eyes wrapped in complex instruments. She did not cry or make a fuss, but looked at the man in the distance with a smile.

The man waved at her subconsciously, a smile that had not been seen in many years appeared on his face.

But behind him, Archbishop Gilman looked at the golden crystal at the ceremony terminal with a gloomy face.

"We failed. Souls are born with original sin, even if they are artificial. This defective product can only serve as a container for the stigmata, but cannot bring out the power of the stigmata."

The resentful man spoke for the first time, "What should she do then?"

Archbishop Gilman said coldly: "Decompose and recycle."

……

In the Cathedral of Holy Light, a man was teaching the little girl beside him knowledge while writing and drawing in a notebook.

The little girl finished her homework and ran over and asked, "Professor, what are you doing?"

The man smiled awkwardly, "The professor also has his own homework."

……

The little girl's body had grown bigger and looked about three or four years old. She lay in the center of the instrument, looking around with curiosity on her face.

"Professor, can I really see the Virgin Mary when I wake up?"

The professor nodded.

Outside the ceremony, Archbishop Gilman said solemnly: "This is about our future, and yours. The stigmata must be removed."

As the ceremony began, the little girl in her sleep groaned in pain. The man looked reluctant and adjusted some details of the ceremony while Gilman was not paying attention.

Five minutes later, the golden crystal exploded and the ritual failed.

The man said dejectedly: "The stigmata have been integrated into her original sin. Forcible removal may cause the stigmata to be damaged."

Archbishop Gilman showed a disappointed look. He shook his head, but his tone was slightly relieved: "Then we can only find a way to make use of the waste."

……

At the King's banquet, the church's newly discovered saint became the center of attention.

She was born blessed by the gods. Although she was only eight years old, her smile was enough to infect even the most vicious villains. After only one year of appearance, she was loved by everyone in the kingdom.

Even the Pope is far less influential than her.

The man sat in the corner of the banquet hall, looking at the saint in the center of the crowd from afar. He took out his notebook dejectedly and wrote and drew on it.

A noble with eyes as sharp as an eagle sat down next to the man and said calmly: "I know your research, and I also know that you haven't given up. The capital is no longer suitable for you. Do you want to come to my territory and try?"

……

In the Earl's Manor, looking at the dolls scattered on the ground, the man shook his head.

"The idea is right, but the grace of the gods on the island is too weak to be the core of a true god."

Count Jermaine walked up behind the man and said slowly, "So, we need the stigmata, right?"

The man looked at the broken dolls on the ground, was silent for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes."

Count Jermaine smiled and said, "The missionary fleet of the church will pass by this island. I will take care of the matter of the stigmata."

……

On the main rooftop of the Earl's manor, Earl Jermaine and the man stood together. Behind them, a faceless nun doll was standing up from the alchemical device.

Jermaine looked at the flames burning in the cathedral and the seven shadows gathering in the sky above Briver. He filled the glasses with red wine for himself and the man.

"The seven deadly sins are dispersed, the holy marks are peeled off, and the ceremony begins. I salute the immortality that you and I are about to achieve."

With a whoosh, the surroundings fell into darkness and the scene of resentment ended.

Wu Chang opened his eyes, and Ebert's bloody last words appeared before him.

[Destroy the ritual at Earl Jermaine's manor and completely liberate Saint Irene.]
