Hogwarts Summoning Guide

"Work with me, mortal!" Satogua said bluntly.

"It's not that it's impossible. I'm not a morally fastidious Puritan. To me, ancient gods and deities are essentially just aliens... But I want to know first what I have to give up and what I will get in return for cooperating with the ancient gods?" Bai Lin was quite straightforward and asked directly.

"You'll get so much more. What do mortals usually want? Ancient gods' treasures? Lifespan? Treasures? Or abilities comparable to gods? I can give you all of that!" Satogua smiled kindly, his expression as benevolent as the orphanage director in GodGarden.

"Stop! Stop!" Bai Lin couldn't help but cover his face and helplessly interrupt Satoguya's friendly suggestion. He paused and said, "I already have everything you mentioned except for the so-called treasures of the ancient gods. Do you think I would dare to use those ancient god treasures? Give me something practical."

Satoguya even showed a slightly embarrassed, "humanized" expression, chuckling, "Professional habit, professional habit..."

He seemed to ponder for a moment before saying, "Your solar system originally had six creations of the Order God, located on Venus, Mars, the Moon, Titan, Callisto, and Triton. I have observed for two thousand years and can confirm that only the Moon and Triton (Treton) still have power. I can help you reach these creations and perhaps find something that interests you."

"I see~" Bai Lin stroked his chin. Satogua's suggestion had indeed piqued his curiosity. Regardless of whether Satogua's "help" was a trap or even a way to use the defensive mechanism of the divine relic to kill him, even if he didn't go, Satogua's few words had opened up a new world for Bai Lin.

"Trinity is too far away. I'm afraid I'll be an old man by the time I get back... I don't need your help to get to the moon; I can go there myself... How about this, you give me a vehicle to reach Mars... Of course, first tell me what you want me to cooperate with. What kind of cooperation do you want me to do?"

"Help me do a few experiments... and if it's convenient, help me completely destroy Cthulhu," Satoguia said with a smile.

Before Bai Lin could question what he meant by "doing a few experiments," Satoguya continued, "You can back out at any time, but I believe you will make a wise choice... Your time is probably running out. Grakua has already reached the core of the Ray, attempting to extract the Ray's bio-energy. In at most an hour, he will return to his peak condition, and then it will probably not be so easy for you to catch him."

"One last question, why did you agree to Grakua's request?" Bai Lin asked.

"Because the core of the Ray ship, bio-energy isolates all spacetime capabilities, hehe~" Satoguya said with a sly smile.

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a stone platform the size of a round table appeared in front of Bai Lin. Around the platform, four stone pillars, each about two meters high and as thick as a bowl, rose up, resembling a stone-style "elevator".

Bai Lin shrugged. To be honest, he had no other choice. It was pointless to fight Satoguya to the death here. With the Ray ship around, Satoguya was practically immortal. Even if he exhausted himself, he couldn't do anything to him. His target, Grakua, was now at the perfect opportunity to eliminate any future threat. Grakua had lost his spacetime abilities. Bai Lin felt his fists itching to beat Grakua so badly that Hastur wouldn't even recognize him!

Of course, there are huge risks involved in stepping onto this stone platform, but Bai Lin felt it was worth the try, even if it meant he and Grakua would perish together.

The moment Bai Lin stepped onto the stone platform, he glanced at Satogua out of the corner of his eye. Satogua's expression was calm, and he did not show any smugness of having succeeded in his scheme. However, this did not mean anything. Ancient gods could spend thousands of years quietly observing the solar system. How could their cunning be like that of ordinary mortals?

Bai Lin simply ignored him, steadied himself, crossed his arms, and even closed his eyes, appearing relaxed, natural, and unfathomable, which surprised Satogua slightly.

However, unseen by Satoguya, Bai Lin was desperately uploading the image of the ray ship he had just seen to the "Myriad Realms Tree of Life Array" by summoning the encyclopedia.

Although he only chatted with Satogua for a few minutes, Bai Lin's comprehension and association abilities far exceeded those of ordinary people, and he suddenly realized a few issues.

First, Satogua mentioned that the "relics of the gods" need "power." What is this "power"? It is obviously not traditional energy sources such as solar or nuclear energy, but rather terrifying energy that can activate powerful forces like "Olisaga," enough to destroy a planet.

Secondly, why did the Sun God give himself a "Summoning Compendium" while giving Fujiwara Eiko a "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons"? What is the connection between the two? These two treasures are clearly not meant for the owners to fight against the ancient gods, but rather for collecting information. The abilities given to the owners are more like an encouragement award.

Third, this ray ship is so huge. According to Satoguya, the ray ship uses some kind of "bioenergy". What the heck is that?

After summarizing the three questions above, Bai Lin had a vague understanding.

Just like chaotic energy and orderly energy, energy itself is simply the "enthalpy" and "entropy" that objectively exist in the universe. There is no distinction between good and evil. Whether it is a world-destroying weapon like a ray ship or a lunar relic, it actually uses the same "power source", which is what Satogua calls "bioenergy". Of course, this name may be a popular and easy-to-understand concept that Satogua casually came up with to make it easier for Bai Lin to understand or to cover up the truth.

Could his own "Summoning Encyclopedia" and Fujiwara Eko's "Hyakki Yagyōroku" simply be tools for the Sun God to collect "bio-energy" for the function of lunar relics?

This thought was quite profound; the deeper Bai Lin pondered it, the more reasonable it seemed.

Everything Bai Lin is seeing and learning is being uploaded to the "Myriad Realms Tree of Life Array Diagram," and the feedback from the tree array diagram that he receives next will verify Bai Lin's deductions.

Information exchange in the "Summoning Compendium" takes time, but the battle at hand is what Bai Lin should be most concerned about right now.

The "Obsidian Elevator" sank underground, and Bai Lin's vision went dark for a brief moment before it quickly brightened again.

There were no cold metal walls, no orderly passageways; the entire space exuded a vibrant yet eerie "organic" feel—the ceiling, the surroundings, even the "ground" beneath one's feet were composed of a translucent, pale amber-colored tissue. Dark golden veins flowed slowly within its texture, like blood, or perhaps some kind of energy carrier. Each flow emitted a faint, fluorescent glow, illuminating this boundless interior space. The distant outlines were blurry and enormous, resembling mountains, or perhaps the internal organs of this "ray." Amidst the undulating contours, countless tiny, wriggling, tentacle-like structures could be seen, gently swaying and secreting a viscous liquid with a mixture of sweet and rotten odors, dripping onto the "ground" below with a soft "tap-tap" sound before being absorbed by the soft tissue.
