The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　The monster's upper body had just healed when its lower body was smashed to pieces. But the scattered pieces of flesh continued to wriggle and gather towards the main body. Its self-healing ability seemed to have no limit.

　"Boom!"

　Another impact.

　Miltank's Rollout attack still dealt 16000 damage. The monster was reduced to half its original size after the impact. But Miltank turned back and launched a fourth attack. This time, Rollout dealt 32,000 damage!

　The raging winds surrounding the "Big Milk Tank" seemed capable of tearing everything apart.

　It sprang up from the ground the instant it approached the monster, crashing into the very center of its massive body.

　In that instant, the monster's entire body was sucked into the turbine created by the high-speed rotation of the "Big Milk Tank" and then crushed into dust.

　In that instant, the monster seemed to vanish into thin air, leaving no trace.

　Its self-healing limit has been broken!

　But the situation is not optimistic.

　The monster's regenerative abilities do have their limits. But crushing its body to the point where it can no longer heal is far too difficult.

　If there are a large number of monsters of this caliber on the second level of this temple, the magical elves will be forced to slow down their progress.

　"Prepare for a second exploration team."

　After a moment's thought, Dak spoke.

　Professor Kazel asked, "Do you need my magical sprite?" Dark shook his head and said, "Not for now."

　He then immediately drew several Magic Cards from his card pack, first summoning "Momomon" and then evolving it into "Fairymon".

　"Fairy Beast, deploy 'Fairy Barrier'." Meanwhile...

　He infused Devimon with his spiritual power through the "Bond," causing it to evolve into Devimon.

　"Devimon" understood immediately and activated "Instant Teleportation". Its body appeared at the top of the stairs on the second floor in an instant. But its original teleportation target was the first floor.

　Is teleportation between different floors prohibited?

　Dac had already tested it before.

　"Devimon" can teleport freely within the first floor, but cannot instantly teleport to the second floor.

　But this could also be because they didn't enter the second level.

　Now, after entering the second floor and testing again, this cause was eliminated, confirming the fact that teleportation between different floors is prohibited.

　Then you can only be teleported to the entrance of the first floor corridor.

　Dark commanded Impmon to return to the first floor. Then, using its location as a reference, Dark shared the teleportation information with Fairymon via Mind Bond, allowing Fairymon to teleport directly there.

　Then, he summoned "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", "Blue-Eyes Girl", and "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye".

　"Blue-Eyes Girl" and "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" mounted the back of one of the mindless "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" and prepared to set off.

　Under Dark's instructions, Fairymon initiated a remote teleportation, instantly transporting four magical spirits to the location of Devimon.

　Immediately afterwards, the second batch of magical elves ascended to the second level and continued.

　About three minutes later, the team, which had grown from seven magical spirits to eleven, encountered another group of monsters.

　They tried their best to completely destroy the monsters, preventing them from merging. But their attempts failed.

　Even if they are blasted to smithereens, those monsters can fuse together after death to form giant beasts with powerful self-healing abilities.

　"Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Destructive White Light!" A beam of white light instantly pierced through the space.

　The halo around the giant monster was shattered, and the destructive power that invaded it clashed with its self-healing ability.

　You can clearly see the surface of the huge wound wriggling with tentacles, still trying to heal.

　But in the end, it didn't work. "Looks like it worked." Dark felt a little relieved.

　The giant monster's self-healing ability must come from the goddess of life. The destructive power of the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" may not be effective, so experiments are needed.

　But for now, at least the second layer is sufficient.

　The enormous monster was massive and extremely aggressive. However, its defenses were relatively weak after its outer aura was broken.

　Moreover, it moves slowly and has a limited attack method. Once you find a way to counter it, it's not difficult to deal with.

　While reporting on the situation of the magical spirit investigation team, Dark instructed the team to continue their advance.

　The second floor of the temple does not differ in architectural style from the first. However, the frequency of various exquisite carvings increases, the number of rooms is relatively smaller, the passageways are more spacious, and there is an increase in "green belts".

　Although there were no plants in those "green belts," their style suggests that they were originally filled with flowers, grasses, and trees.

　In addition, some special rooms that did not exist on the first floor appeared on the second floor.

　Dark sent "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" into the party in order to sense the flow of divinity.

　In those special rooms, there are occasionally remnants of divinity, though extremely faint.

　Therefore, by following the flow of divine energy, one can find those rooms. Then, in those rooms, one can find the "crystal ball." The faint divine energy emanates from the crystal ball. They are usually placed on a stand above the lectern.

　One can imagine that someone must have stood on a platform, praising the greatness of the Goddess of Life to the people below.

　The "crystal ball" placed on the stand will then slowly rise, float in the air, and emit a warm and healing white light, bestowing the blessing of the goddess of life upon the believers.

　This was the first divine object that Dark and his companions had found in this temple.

　After finding the first crystal ball, "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" carefully removed it from its stand.

　But when Dark pressed for details, it did not respond. Instead, it stared intently at the area around the crystal ball on the stand.

　There, a circle of mysterious runes was inscribed.

　Dark soon discovered that his magical sprite no longer needed his command.

　After discovering the ring of runes, "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" immediately had "Magic Secretary" record them.

　It then continued its search of the room and found the first book it had seen since entering the temple.

　Books are the carriers of words. And words are the tools for recording civilization.

　Although the text in that book is completely different from the current written language, if it is handed over to a professional archaeologist, they can always find a way to translate it.

　As for whether the book would be damaged after leaving the temple... that's not a problem at all.

　All you need to do is photocopy all the text in the book before it falls apart.

　In the subsequent exploration, the search target of the Magic Spirit Investigation Team gradually became clear.

　Their exploration speed has slowed down slightly, but they still make new discoveries every now and then.

　Each new achievement generates new motivation, propelling them forward.

　eight pm.

　Four hours have passed since the exploration of the second level began.

　The Magical Spirit Investigation Team's exploration progress is close to 20% of the second level.

　Although the overall speed has slowed down, it is still relatively fast compared to humans.

　The survey team's speed was far superior.

　Dak let them rest for half an hour before continuing their journey. He also took the opportunity to eat something.

　"Since entering the second level, we have collected a total of four books, six crystal balls, and a small bottle."

　"Of those four books, only one is complete; the other three are incomplete."

　"The six crystal balls were relatively intact, but the divinity they contained was very weak, like candles flickering in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time."

　"The last small bottle was found in a hidden compartment in the wall. It appeared to be empty, but a very faint divine aura emanated from it."

　"Leaving aside the books, those crystal balls are very likely (oracle orbs)."

　Dak said as he ate.

　Hannah asked, "What is the Oracle Orb?"

　Just as Dak was about to answer, he saw Professor Lily looking eager to try, so he wisely shut up.

　Professor Lily, hands on her hips, said, "You don't even know about the Oracle Orb? If I'm not mistaken, the Holy See has one..."

　The so-called oracle orb, as the name suggests, is an orb that records "divine words". Taking the oracle orb of the Holy Church as an example, they claim that the "holy" oracles inscribed on it can bestow blessings upon believers on behalf of the "holy".

　However, those pagans who firmly believe that the "holy" does not exist will claim that the divine words inscribed in the "holy orb" do not belong to the "holy," but come from other gods.

　As for the "Oracle Orb" that the magical elves discovered in the Temple of Life, it may belong to the "Goddess of Life," or it may belong to one of the "Goddess of Life's" subordinate gods.

　Each "Oracle Orb" bestows different blessings depending on the divine inscription inscribed within it.

　But regardless of the type of blessing, it contains divine power. Therefore, the "Oracle Orb" is undoubtedly a divine artifact.

　The question now is whether, once they are removed from the temple, they will disintegrate like ordinary objects.

　If there's a risk of it collapsing, then we need to find a way to repair it. Otherwise, we won't be able to retrieve the temple's artifacts, and they won't be of much use. After finishing his dinner, Dak watched as Professor Lily continued her extensive explanation of "what the [Oracle Orb] is," so he opened his notebook to a blank page and sketched out two incantations.

　"What's this?" Professor Kazel leaned closer, asking curiously. Dark replied, "The runes on the stand that holds the Oracle Orb." Professor Kazel immediately became interested: "Let me see." Dark tore off a page and handed it to the professor.

　Then he redraws the two runes. These two runes come from different rooms.

　Dark suspected that the divine words in the "Oracle Orbs" in the two rooms belonged to different lineages, which was why different runes were needed to maintain them.

　But until he has thoroughly studied them, he cannot be certain whether these two incantations are what he is looking for.

Chapter 1440 What Did the Cosmic Brain Monster Do? (4k)

　Half an hour passed quickly, and the Magical Spirit Investigation Team set off again. This kind of efficient sweep was bound to have some omissions, but with "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" present, at least nothing with divine power would be missed.

　As the research progressed, Darke's understanding of the two incantations gradually deepened.

　There is at least a 70% probability that the two runes are indeed what he needs.

　This was undoubtedly a huge surprise for him personally. Even if he gained nothing afterward, the trip would have been worthwhile. But of course, he couldn't stop there.

　Twelve hours of continuous map exploration allowed him to gradually grasp the architectural style and design concepts of this Temple of Life. He no longer needs Maxine's assistance or guidance.

　Under his command, the magical spirits' search efficiency improved further. Almost exactly at nine o'clock, they found a second small bottle in one of the rooms.

　The second bottle was exactly the same as the first. Until the cork was removed, it was impossible to tell whether a divine object was hidden inside.

　Then, at 10:46, the third small bottle.

　The three small bottles were all hidden in secret compartments. However, the styles of the rooms they were in were different, making it impossible to predict their purpose simply by observing the room's function.

　However, the fact that they were deliberately hidden suggests that they are likely "forbidden objects" relative to this Temple of Life.

　10:23.

　Following the flow of divine energy, "Fantasy Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" discovered a new divine artifact.

　It was a scarecrow the size of a palm, its heart pierced by a silver nail and nailed to a pillar.

　This is clearly a cursed artifact.

　Unfortunately, it appears to be a cursed doll that has already been used. However, the fact that an item has survived in the current environment of this temple speaks to its value in itself; we can investigate it further later.

　Twelve o'clock in the evening.

　The Magical Spirit Investigation Team's exploration progress on the second level has stalled at 35%.

　Dak decisively suggested returning home.

　But instead of having the magical spirits return the way they came, he instructed them to break through the floor and return directly from the second level to the first level!

　The temple itself is extremely sturdy. Even now, after countless years, some restrictions remain, preventing spatial teleportation from crossing floors.

　However, the walls within a single layer have been proven to be penetrable.

　Although the floor is stronger than the wall, there is no reason why it cannot be penetrated if the destructive force is sufficient.

　The scale of this Temple of Life is so large that it can be described as a "miniature divine kingdom".

　Judging from the furnishings of the rooms, it can be inferred that at least tens of thousands of people must have lived in this huge temple before the fall of the goddess of life.

　There are only nine passageways between the upper and lower levels, mostly located along the edge of the temple, creating a relatively enclosed space between the floors. This suggests that the temple was designed to differentiate social classes. The people residing on the second level were clearly of a higher class than those residing on the first level.

　Their living environments are completely different worlds, and the floor and ceiling are the "world walls" that separate these two worlds.

　What the magical spirits need to do now is break through this "world wall".

　The main force behind the "forced demolition" was the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and the "Blue-Eyes Girl." After giving a few instructions, the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" took the lead. In order to minimize damage, they chose an open space that looked like a plaza.
