Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

"Teacher is such a kind person, that's wonderful," Natsumi Yase said to the kittens, her smile radiant.

"Meow~" As if in response, the kittens came closer to her feet and rubbed their little heads against her.

This scene captivated Shichen; the pure and holy aura of Natsume Yase and the affection of the kittens were truly purifying.

"How do you know I'm gentle?" Shi Chen asked curiously.

“That’s exactly how I feel,” Natsumi Yase replied with a smile.

"so."

This must be her special inspiration? No wonder she trusted him so easily; she sensed that he wouldn't hurt her.

He did not deny the gentleness in his attitude at that moment.

Subsequently, under the guidance of Natsumi Yase, Shichen quickly became close to the seven kittens.

One of the little snow cats was particularly affectionate towards him, running up to him and rubbing against him.

"Teacher, it seems like Xiaoxue really likes you." Yese Natsune was very happy to see Shichen and the kitten being so affectionate.

"Is its name Xiaoxue? It seems we're destined to meet. It's a pity I can't take it home."

Nangong Nayue's apartment doesn't allow pets, otherwise he would definitely have been able to persuade her to get a cat.

It's so boring at home, we don't even have a TV. If we don't get a cat to guard the house, he'll really have nothing to do.

"It's alright, it's fine as long as the teacher comes to check on them occasionally," Natsumi Yase said softly.

"I didn't bring them any food either. I can come back this afternoon and bring them some."

"Is the teacher coming again this afternoon?"

"Yeah, I'm a PE teacher, so I'm pretty free," Shi Chen replied with a smile.

"Can the teacher wait for me?"

"Are you coming this afternoon too?"

"I...I plan to come again after school, is that okay?"

"Why are you asking me?" Shi Chen smiled. "But is there anything wrong at home?"

"It's okay... my dad doesn't restrict me."

"Your father..."

"Actually, I was adopted, but he is my mother's brother and he is very good to me," Natsumi Yase confessed softly.

"I see." Shichen secretly clenched his fist, then smiled at Yese Natsune: "You really are gentle."

"I just like small animals," Natsumi Yase said shyly.

“It’s a good thing to like small animals. I like them too. We’re kindred spirits.”

"Ah."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here after school."

"Thank you, teacher."

"Let's stop here for now. You should go back to school. It's quite far from here. I'll watch over Xiaoxue and the others for you a little longer."

"I understand, then I'll leave it to you, teacher."

"Okay, leave it to me." Shi Chen smiled and patted his chest to assure him.

"Then I'll leave first?"

"Hurry up, don't be late."

"See you this afternoon, teacher."

"Okay, see you later."

Natsune Yase turned back every three steps, quickly crossed the small park, went down the hill, and left the place.

Shichen didn't rush to leave. He played with the kitten for a while, and only stood up after confirming that Natsumi Yase wouldn't be coming back.

"Xiaoxue, can you two go hide over there for a while?" he said to Xiaoxue and me.

"Meow~"

As if understanding the time, Xiaoxue led the other kittens away from the ruins.

Shi Chen was very happy with Xiao Xue's intelligence, and then turned around and went to the metal sign with two intertwined snakes.

[Sage's Blood Detected. Activate with Divine Shard?]

Sage's Blood is a crimson liquid metal life form with independent will, created by the alchemist Nina Adilard. If one's soul is transplanted into this life form, one can become a truly immortal being.

What makes this miracle possible is a control unit made of a bright red gemstone known as the "core refiner".

When one transfers their consciousness into the "core," they can maintain their consciousness even while merging with the "spiritual blood." Then, by transforming their physical body into an immortal metallic life form, they gain near-eternal life and possess magical power comparable to that of a true vampire progenitor.

Shichen came here because he thought of the Sage's Blood.

He had no interest in transforming his physical body into a metallic life form, since he already possessed an immortal life. But what if he could absorb the blood of a sage to gain magical power?

Opportunity favors the prepared mind; you should always give it a try.

He knew about "core refining," but thinking about his own fragments of godhood, he figured he might as well give it a try.

In hindsight, he was right.

Chapter 52 The Fifth True Ancestor

Shi Chen raised his right hand and pressed it against his chest. Immediately afterward, golden light surged forth, and fragments of divine essence emerged from his body and fell into his hand.

He held the fragment of the divine essence out in his right hand and slowly faced it toward the relief wall. Golden light enveloped the relief, and an incredible scene unfolded.

The relief sculpture began to undergo dramatic changes!

The carved surface rippled like waves, coiling and writhing like tentacles, as if trying to take the fragments of divinity in Shichen's hands into it.

The sculpture came to life, revealing its true form as a metallic life form with a deep red luster like blood.

As time passed, the divine fragments were pulled back, and the relief began to twist desperately, as if reluctant to part with them. But in the end, it did not go berserk; it simply returned to its original shape.

But anyone who has seen the scene just now can no longer regard it as an ordinary relief.

Shi Chen remembered that this relief was tampered with by Yase Kensei—who is now Yase Natsune's father.

The true nature of this sculpture is a deep red liquid metal life form with its own will, not a creature existing in nature.

Amorphous and eternally indestructible, only alchemical techniques capable of manipulating the structure of matter at will can give birth to such a life form that defies the laws of the world.

If one could transfer their soul into this immortal metallic life form, they would become an eternally ageless being.

What can achieve this is a deep red gemstone control device called "Core Refining".

However, Shichen doesn't need that thing; his divine fragments can do the same.

Time once again handed the fragment of divinity to the relief.

The relief sculpture also came to life again, constantly twisting and turning, trying to touch the fragments of divinity.

Instead of taking back the divine fragments, Shichen threw them directly to the relief sculpture.

The relief sculpture touched the fragment of divinity and twisted wildly; it was excited, it was joyful, as if it were tasting a delicious meal.

The fragments of divinity slowly disappeared into the relief, and then a miraculous scene unfolded.

The relief, which was originally the color of a dull copper sheet, instantly turned into a deep red liquid and began to drip.

The church's narrow altar was instantly enveloped by a large amount of liquid metal, resembling a pool of blood.

The liquid metal expanded continuously, instantly transforming into a giant, deep red soft body that wriggled like a slime.

This scene made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Smaller ones are fine; slimes are harmless and cute. But this big one is a bit creepy.

As if sensing the timing, the liquid metal lunged at him.

The time was immediately covered.

The crimson liquid began to seep up from Shichen's feet, slowly creeping up and attempting to envelop his body.

It felt like falling into a mud pit and getting your legs tangled up.

However, this crimson liquid is not as harmless as mud; it is eerie, conscious, and intends to devour time.

Shi Chen was not afraid of the crimson liquid, because at this moment, he could finally feel the power of his divine body.

His body began to radiate a pure white light, sacred and inviolable, radiant and holy.

The crimson liquid, like filth in the darkness encountering the sunlight that restrains it, is terrified and begins to tremble and struggle; it tries to escape.

But time cannot let it escape.

Another force within his body yearned, as if it had encountered a delicious meal, wanting to devour, absorb, and possess the deep red liquid enveloping him.

The power of the True Ancestor's body!

The crimson liquid fully realized the danger and tried to separate itself from Shichen, but it couldn't find it. It was as if it was sucked into Shichen's body and couldn't move. It could only tremble instinctively.

Time, responding to his body's desires, began to absorb the deep red liquid enveloping him.

The crimson liquid was suppressed by the divine body and absorbed by the true ancestor body, unable to move. It could only tremble and slowly seep into Shichen's body.

At this moment, Shichen felt that magical power was beginning to surge through his body!

The magic grew stronger and stronger, beginning to circulate throughout his body, flowing through his veins and blood.

He has magic powers!

The crimson liquid entered his body and transformed into magic!

This magic is powerful, vigorous, and inexhaustible.

"Wait! Wait a minute! Don't absorb me, please let me go! I'm not a bad person!"

Before they could even register the time, they suddenly heard a woman's voice begging for mercy.

Following the sound, he saw a small clump of dark red liquid on his leg that had transformed into a human figure, clinging tightly to his leg and begging for mercy.
