The spellcasters frowned as they watched Maginus, who seemed to have divine assistance, and began to whisper among themselves:
"This won't do. That woman seems to be planning to eliminate us all."
"I don't know what kind of book she wants. It's not like she wants to buy the whole library. The book spirit doesn't seem to allow that."
Just as everyone was plotting to unite against Maginus, the sixth round ended, and Rofai turned his attention to Maginus, who was once again in first place:
"We have enough. Would you like to exchange them for knowledge?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Maginus, Moonbeam, and the other adventurers all breathed a sigh of relief; their departure was better for everyone.
Maginus chose to exchange for the books, and five extremely thick books flew into her hands, all of them radiating magical light; all five were magical books.
Having obtained the items, Rofai pointed at the two of them. Yueqian, her eyes wide, disregarded any sense of distance and immediately hugged Maginos tightly as an anchor point.
A sense of spatial distortion washed over them, and the two vanished instantly. When the girl opened her eyes again, they were back in the dark underground, clearly having re-entered the ruins.
"Wok Zhi Fu Er Shan Ba Wu Oo!!!"
Yuexi gagged, her hands braced against the wall, her body trembling violently. Seeing this, Maginus sat down in the ruins and opened the first book.
What Rofai gave was not systematic; it was more like notes than books, with dense, messy handwriting, yet it contained the writer's own rules.
While adventuring using clones, I encountered an adventurer with divine blood. His rapid increase in strength in a short period of time piqued my interest in divine blood.
Although I had thought about studying divine blood and then further researching it before, I never took any action. So let's start today.
Although I don't know if the notes will fall into someone else's hands, I still have to sign them.
Those fortunate enough to receive my notes, I am the legendary mage Zodrin Mekaela. What follows is my research and record of divine blood creatures.
The words written in the book were in a casual, essay-like style, and the handwriting was very neat, even beautiful. But thinking about it, it makes sense, since the spellcaster had to draw the incantation and had to pay attention to the writing standards.
"Don't rush, we still have plenty of time, we can take a short rest."
Speaking to Yueqian, who was kneeling on the ground, Maginus flipped through a book about divine blood while wiping his cheek to transform himself back to normal:
"Yueqian, is there anything you want to obtain?"
"Uh... if I had to say, I'd say magical equipment. I'd like to get some magical equipment from the demiplane."
Wiping her mouth, Yueqian, still feeling dizzy and lightheaded, leaned against the wall to rest. She was clearly unable to fight for the time being.
Today is the first day of the experiment. I captured a gnoll, a creature with divine blood, whose bloodline originates from the gnoll king of hell.
Indeed, the King of the Gnolls is worshipped by the Gnolls. Although he is a demon, he is said to possess some divine power, and perhaps one day he may become the "God of the Gnolls".
No, according to rumors, it seems to have become a demigod.
Chapter 308 The Theory of the Divine Child
The Divine Blood Template is created by the existence of divine power and the influence of its essence. When divine blood is present in a creature, it can reduce the damage it receives. However, if the creature suffers too much damage, the divine power will leave it.
I tried to extract the divine power from the jackal's body, but unfortunately, this special energy, which surpasses most other energies, cannot be extracted by me in any way.
Magic, psychic energy, the power of faith, and even life force can influence it or be influenced by it, indirectly interfering with it, but they cannot completely control it.
It is there, seemingly there yet not there, in a mysterious state. It will disappear if you don't observe it, and it cannot cause strong fluctuations when you do observe it.
……
On the 20th day of the experiment, I bought it from the devil. It is said to be a descendant of the gods from other prime material planes. It is an ape with six arms, and I can feel a strong aura of majesty from it.
Strangely, this descendant of a god, who should have had a closer connection with the god himself, did not exhibit the presence of a divine blood template, nor did it possess any divine power.
According to research by some other old friends, divine blood creatures may not actually have a direct connection with gods. They may have obtained divine blood templates because their ancestors came into contact with the blood and power of divine incarnations.
Why are the descendants of gods weaker than the descendants of those who indirectly obtain divine power?
……
Day 40 of the experiment, wow~, the six-armed apes are more talented than I imagined!
The gnoll remains the same gnoll, unchanged. It hasn't made much progress in strength, and it's still a complete idiot.
In contrast, the six-armed ape clearly exhibited an emotion called thinking. It should be noted that the gnolls are humanoid beings, and their initial IQ tests were much higher than the apes'. However, after being taught, the apes actually surpassed the gnolls.
Its strength has also increased dramatically, even transforming it into a professional, a warrior. I personally witnessed it unleash the "Tidal Wave" technique.
Could it be that the descendants of gods, although lacking the divine bloodline template, possess greatly enhanced talents?
……
On the 60th day of the experiment, the comparison was still ongoing. I also managed to get some good things and some memories from my old friend in the other world through persistent pleading.
He had also studied divine blood creatures and even worked with a divine child, so he remembered that divine child very clearly.
The divine child in my memory grew up too fast. My old friend spent more than 20 years studying mages since childhood, becoming a mid-level mage in his twenties, and only becoming a high-level mage in his thirties or forties.
And that divine child, in just over a decade, actually became a legend first, which is truly unbelievable.
Unfortunately, according to his old friend, the divine child fell at the hands of another divine child, and the divine child who survived seemed to have become a sacrifice for the resurrection of the evil god.
It's a real pity. I've heard many similar stories, and I can't help but wonder if most of these kinds of descendants of evil gods are actually a backup plan for the resurrection of evil gods.
As for the descendants of the benevolent gods, their situation is much better. Another old friend provided information that he had a benevolent god's son friend who chose to live for hundreds of years and then die peacefully, his soul going to Mount Paradise.
……
On the 65th day of the research, new data came in, and I suddenly realized that the difference between divine children is sometimes greater than the difference between divine children and divine blood beings.
Some divine children are merely a backup plan for the resurrection of gods, while others are the reincarnation of gods themselves.
Another old friend shared a new memory with me: he once encountered a "divine child" who was originally a quasi-god but perished in a battle between gods and was eventually reborn in the womb of his own offspring.
Quasi-gods, demigods, and false gods. Among them, demigods and false gods are already immortal. Quasi-gods are at the boundary between mortals and gods. To put it this way, demigods are 0, false gods are 0.00... between 1 and 1, and quasi-gods are forming the number 0. The difference between the three is huge.
As for us mere mortals, we have absolutely no say in this.
My old friend had exchanged and sparred with that quasi-god reincarnation, but the result was that my old friend lost miserably and even lost his body.
The difference in essence between the divine children is enormous; I am merely one of the vessels for the resurrection of slaughter and fear.
After reading a small portion of the research on divine blood beings and divine children, Maginus deepened her existing understanding.
All creatures with divine blood were created unintentionally by the gods. The aura emitted by the gods and the divine blood that drips from them could lead to the appearance of these creatures.
The Ks basically choose to ignore these things, not caring about a creature that licked its own blood off the ground.
The birth of a divine child, excluding the type of quasi-gods who are reincarnated from beings between humans and gods, can be divided into intentional and unintentional.
Among them, the children of benevolent gods are usually created unintentionally. Many gods are kind by nature, but they like to "play" with mortals, so they accidentally create some children. They are patient and doting on these children.
These divine children are weak, but they have good talent. As long as they are ambitious, even if they don't encounter any extraordinary events along the way, they can still become legends in their lifetime by following the established path.
Some divine children are specially created by benevolent gods to deal with major crises that threaten the world in the future or are currently happening.
They held high expectations and strict requirements for these divine children, because their fate concerned the entire world.
They have only two possible outcomes: either they die in the crisis or they successfully resolve it. Once the crisis is resolved, their fate will end, and they will live a very happy life for the rest of their lives.
Strength, reputation, and even one's own aspirations will all be fulfilled.
The offspring of the two types of benevolent gods mentioned above are also considered divine children, but their talents will weaken with each generation until they return to mediocrity.
Compared to the children of benevolent gods, the offspring of evil gods face far greater difficulties in survival.
Because their birth is absolutely not accidental or unintentional, but only inevitable and intentional.
The first generation of the evil god's children had no freedom whatsoever; they were born to complete the evil god's mission or to reproduce as tools for the evil god's resurrection.
Like the offspring of the benevolent god's son, the descendants of the evil god's son are also considered gods, but their talents will also weaken until they become like mortals.
However, once the evil god falls, or for some reason launches an evil plan against the prime material plane, these weakened "sons of xx" will reconnect with the evil god, and K will unconsciously select suitable candidates.
Through their mutual slaughter, their bloodlines and powers will be reactivated, and under the influence of increasingly powerful divine energy, they will once again become "the divine children of xx".
Indeed, there is a ready-made candidate here. Maginus and her blood relatives went through such a phase, from "Children of Fear" and "Children of Slaughter" to "God of Fear" and "God of Slaughter."
Chapter 309
Children often resemble their parents, and the personalities of the first generation of divine children are usually close to the bloodline they possess.
The children of benevolent gods are bound to be good, and the children of evil gods are bound to be evil. However, the more diluted the bloodline becomes, the weaker this alignment will become. In the end, there might even be cases where the offspring of evil gods serve as priests in the temples of benevolent gods.
When the evil god dies, K's plan begins. The evil god's offspring in the Temple of the Good God will also be affected to some extent, but the good gods will protect their believers and will also know what the evil god is going to do as soon as possible.
The evil god can make his pawns unable to escape his control; Maginus was truly an accidental creation.
Under normal circumstances, the resurrection plans of the two evil gods would not collide, but too many coincidences happened to coincide, and the resurrection plans of the two gods collided. Maginus has some of the power of the two gods in her body, and it is unknown from which generation.
She happened to witness the destruction of her family, the death of all her direct relatives, and the previously scattered divine essence gathered together under these circumstances.
In despair, powerful negative emotions activated both forces, resulting in the extremely small probability that K's backup plans collided, leading to the unexpected birth of Maginus.
Even now, those blood relatives who are closer to the Father God are unaware of her unusual condition and think she is just an ordinary divine child.
I'm so lucky!
As the girl flipped through the various cases provided by the legendary mage Zodrin Mekaela, she chuckled to herself.
The descriptions were largely consistent with, and supplemented, what the Mind Flayers had said and Maginus's conjectures. She quickly flipped through the pages, trying to find the page about divinity.
On the 105th day of the experiment, I threw the six-armed ape out and replaced it with a human boy who was probably a descendant of the evil god within the last ten generations. I made a deal with him: he would let me experiment on him, and I would teach him magic.
That evil god is of course dead, otherwise I wouldn't dare to do this kind of experiment.
Hmm~, after precise testing, I did discover that there is indeed a very unique energy hidden in his body. No, it can't even be called energy. It's similar to the essence of the soul, belonging to that kind of ethereal thing.
How should I describe that feeling? This energy was far more profound and ethereal than the divine power I sensed in the divine blood creatures. Perhaps this is divinity? Unfortunately, it was far too little.
It's not even a grain of sand. If the human body were a planet, it would be about the same size as, or even smaller than, a fundamental particle.
No wonder the offspring of evil gods need to kill each other; they are probably fighting for divinity. Judging from their behavior, besides divinity, they may also be gaining the will of evil gods.
It seems we need to bring over some more offspring of evil gods. According to ancient legends, the offspring of the God of Slaughter and the God of Fear seem to have left behind many.
Come to think of it, they also died in their original world? Tsk tsk, how tragic.
……
"M...Ilsis, when do we set off?"
When she reached a key point, Yuexi's voice distracted her. Maginus closed the book, put it in her storage space, and stood up, saying:
"Let's go now, wander around the ruins and see if we can encounter space travel again."
Wandering aimlessly through the ruins, the girl released her life force to see if there were any secret rooms that had not been explored by adventurers. As a result, she actually found a closed room.
She pressed her hand against the wall, letting the life mist try to seep into the cracks, most of which were made of brick and metal, behind which were mud or stones.
However, as she reached a certain corner, the sensation from the life mist became blurred. Maginus stopped and continued to pour the mist into it, while simultaneously increasing the psionic fluctuations.
She discovered that behind the wall was an empty space containing a room. The walls of the room were covered with runes that blocked magical detection, which is why some spellcasters did not notice its problem.
"Step back a bit, I've found a secret room."
Commanding Yueqian to retreat, Maginus took out an ordinary greatsword from her dimensional bag, aimed at the wall, and smashed it with brute force!
Bang!
A loud crash was heard, and some cracks appeared in the wall. Seeing the cracks, Maginus increased her attack speed and force, and soon smashed a gap large enough for a person to pass through.
With the final swing, the gap widened, and she discarded the tattered ordinary greatsword, entering with Yueqian. They discovered it seemed to be a potion room, containing a considerable number of potions.
Unfortunately, most of them lost their original efficacy over time, with only a small portion retaining their magic. Their names were written on the potion bottles, but Maginus still dared not drink them indiscriminately.
"Half for each person."
She spoke to Yueqian, who did not refuse and nodded, beginning to collect the remaining useful medicines.
During the search for the potion, Yueqian's shouts attracted Maginus's attention. Maginus walked straight over, and the white-haired girl discovered a safe with strong magical fluctuations emanating from it.
"Step back, this magic might be troublesome."
Although Maginus was somewhat reluctant to try the safety measures set up by the legendary mage, Yueqian glanced at the safe with regret but did not touch it.
They're not qualified. Neither of them are even at the intermediate level, how could they possibly access the safe?
However, just as she was about to leave, the life force outside the gap made Maginus stop in her tracks. She glanced at the ordinary longsword in her hand and narrowed her eyes:
"Looks like someone's come to help us crack the safe."
Outside the gap, a team of five adventurers entered the cramped space. They had been drawn there by the sound of the wall being smashed and the gap itself. Once inside, they saw a shelf with potion bottles, two girls, and a safe behind them.
"You two are..."
