A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 3 Divination is truly addictive.

Fenrir, the dragon, truly considered Xu Lie a friend. Not only did he let him watch TV with him, but he also swept up a bunch of broken bottle caps, matchboxes, and aluminum cans.

Despite his reluctance, he ultimately pushed the gift to Xu Lie, saying that since Xu Lie had given him a gift, he should reciprocate.

Faced with such a pure and innocent heart, Xu Lie, who was originally in a hurry to go back and deal with the nine source substances, couldn't help but soften his heart and stayed to play with the child for another ten minutes.

He packed the bottle caps in his backpack, said goodbye, and left.

She has no choice but to leave. Although the preparatory course is packed with classes today, and there are even practical training sessions, Xia Mi will most likely be unable to leave.

But what if Xia Mi senses remotely that someone has broken into Nibelungen and is about to return?

Wouldn't that be a disaster?

Although Xia Mi didn't notice the three nannies sneaking in when the original novel described it, who can guarantee that Lu Mingze wasn't involved?
Even if you possess the Source Castle, you might be able to preemptively resurrect a Miracle Master, but it's not guaranteed. Who says you can definitely be resurrected?
I risked visiting Fenrir before because I was nearly killed by the Nine Source Elements, so I couldn't care less about anything else.

Now that they have successfully advanced to Sequence 7, and have a chance to deal with the nine source materials, the three families of the Gou family should naturally play it safe.

Fenrir was very reluctant to part: "Huang Tao, will you still come to play with me?"

Xu Lie paused for a moment, then turned to look at Fenrir, whose body was half fused with the underground rock wall.

As the Dragon King, he never sees the light of day and is deprived of freedom. He can only be stuck in the wall and watch an 18-inch TV. Wouldn't such a life be too painful?

For some reason, Xu Lie suddenly remembered the tabby cat his grandmother used to keep when he was a child.

Every winter and summer vacation, he would go back to his grandmother's house. When he left, his grandmother's tabby cat would always squat at the door and meow at him.

The tiny cat and the giant dragon before it were vastly different in size, like heaven and earth, yet they gradually merged: "Yes, I will come back to play with you again."

Fenrir then let out a joyful roar, much like the roar of the central control center. As soon as he finished roaring, a train roared into the station and came to a steady stop in front of Xu Lie.

Xu Lie boarded the car and left, his journey proceeding smoothly and without incident.

Even though that wisp of gray mist had long since vanished, the dense Fenrir aura was enough to suppress all the Kamaitachi in the tunnel.

The train moved forward in the darkness. Xu Lie closed his eyes, trying his best to ignore the restlessness of the nine source substances in his mind.

Silently reciting: 'I won't run into anyone I know when I leave the subway station, I'm leaving...'

Repeat seven times, and your left eyelid will twitch twice without your conscious control.

efficient!

Xu Lie opened his eyes again, in high spirits. When he was promoted to Sequence 7 Decryption Scholar, he gained a lot of knowledge about occultism.

This includes sections on divination and counter-divination.

By relying on the folk belief that "a twitching left eye means good fortune and a twitching right eye means bad luck," one can make a reasonable prediction of good or bad fortune even without divination tools.

However, the occult knowledge obtained by the scholars who deciphered it says that divination relies on its connection with the spirit world and the starry sky to predict good or bad fortune.

But the Dragon Clan world has no spirit realm at all, so how can divination be performed there?

Because the mysterious system was forcibly embedded in this world, the world naturally adapted?

While pondering these questions, Xu Lie had already walked out of the subway station and re-entered the bustling crowd. Not seeing Xia Mi suddenly appear, he was completely relieved.

As long as divination works, that's fine. As for why it can be done even without a spirit world, the mystery might be solved when the divination sequence is higher.

As the crowd left the subway station, Xu Lie hailed a taxi to the small motel he had booked in advance, continuing to silently chant, as if addicted, "Arrived safely at the motel..."

Xu Lie's mood improved even more when his left eyelid twitched again. Although it is said that one should not rely on divination or be superstitious about it, the joy of being able to predict whether everything will go smoothly is truly irresistible.

Xu Lie booked a street-side hotel in advance, the kind that costs only a few dozen yuan a night and doesn't even require his ID card to be entered into the computer.

They hurried into the room, locked the door, closed the windows, and eagerly began the ritual. The first step was to spiritually seal the room, and then they took out the ritual materials they had prepared in advance.

He was just praying to himself. Xu Lie didn't need to make things too complicated. There were no candles made of flowers, herbs, or sandalwood, no essential oils or utensils.

The candles were cheap items that cost a few dollars a pack at the general store, and the essential oils and offerings were replaced with Six God Floral Water.

In other words, there is no true god in the Dragon World; otherwise, if you used this set of materials to pray to a true god, you might just die.

Xu Lie lit the candles one by one, muttering to himself, "Turning the hands of time."

"Traveling in the shadow of fate."

"The personification of fraud and mischief."

It's pure, authentic Chinese, not ancient Hermetic at all.

Xu Lie was also unclear about the specific reasons why rituals and prayers could be performed in Chinese.

Could it be because Chinese itself possesses a high degree of mystery within the mysterious system? I won't think about that for now; I'll explore it later.

As for the name of Amoghasiddhi that is being chanted? It doesn't matter.

For the past two months since his transmigration, Xu Lie has had a terrible headache. He has no time to reconstruct a new title and has to make do with what he has, since the Dragon Clan doesn't have Amon anyway.

After reciting the honored name, Xu Lie ridiculously took out Six God Floral Water, dripped it onto the candle flame, and when the fire and dew came into contact, they emitted a faint white smoke with a burnt mint smell.

"I pray to the power of deception."

"I pray for the power to be stolen."

"I pray for the blessing of the wrongdoers, I pray that you grant me the power to complete the clone spell."

As Xu Lie 'sincerely' 'praised,' endless gray fog surged in his mind, as if it would completely envelop Xu Lie, the hotel, and the world.

From within the thick, gray fog that seemed to obscure fate, a worm no longer than a finger and bearing twelve rings poked its head out.

Amidst the ritualistic prayers, and under Xu Lie's control over the Source Castle, the worm split off into another almost transparent twelve-ring worm.

Tiny specks of gray mist followed the brand-new, transparent worm, along with a very small number of Xu Lie's souls, all converging into the metal coin in front of Xu Lie, causing Xu Lie's mind to go blank for a moment.

The soul seems to have fallen ill, becoming somewhat weak, and some of its spirituality has been depleted.

After a moment of confusion, Xu Lie came to his senses. The candle had gone out, and only the metal coin lay quietly in front of him.

Success or failure hinges on this moment. Xu Lie's expression was complex, a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. In the end, he picked up the coin: "Clone."

The transparent twelve-ringed worm reappeared, twisting slightly in mid-air before instantly enlarging into a human shape. Immediately afterwards, a second 'Xu Lie' appeared in the room.

Xu Lie looked around, as if searching for something: "Didn't you prepare a monocle for me, main body?"

Receiving no response, 'Xu Lie' looked up and saw that the real body was speechless to the extreme and almost laughed out loud.

Xu Lie rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Fine, fine, I'll go to Yuanbao now, okay? Sigh, clones have no rights!"

Leaving behind complaints, the clone transformed into a transparent worm, burrowed into Xu Lie's main body's head, and then entered the Source Castle.

The heavy burden in Xu Lie's mind was immediately relieved. The Source Fortress stopped making a fuss, but the other eight Source Essences were still restless.

It works! The clone's inhabitation of the source essence really does suppress the source essence's restlessness!
Relighting the candles, Xu Lie began to pray mechanically, attempting to create more clones to completely resolve the problem of the nine elemental substances continuously holding concerts in his mind.
