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

　Because it is already very close to "god", if it continues to grow, it might accidentally become a god.

　If it's an individual unrelated to "Kukuku," that's fine. But if it's one of "Kukuku's" clones, the chain reaction it could cause is for "Kukuku" to awaken.

　The more you understand Quetzalcoatl, the more you understand the power of Kukuku.

　It is highly likely to be a first-rate god, no less powerful than the twelve gods of Poropus. Awakening it so easily in this way carries unpredictable consequences. Therefore, whether to continue requires careful consideration.

　After a moment, Dark made a decision: "Let's call Ergani over too!"

　Two days later.

　Early morning of February 14th, Sunday.

　With the necessary materials for "Summoning the Evil God," Ergani left St. Marian Academy for the first time in her life and came to this settlement.

　Accompanying her was Professor Steven Harvey. Professor Harvey stepped out of the carriage woven from bones, his face beaming with undisguised excitement.

　The Temple of Life that is "alive," the offspring of "Quetzalcoatl," and the impending "summoning of the evil god."

　Each of these things strongly attracted him.

　His presence on this trip was certainly not solely to act as Ergani's "guardian."

　Upon arriving at the camp, he went straight to the temple, and even his complaints about Professor Kazel not taking him along were limited to a thousand and one sentences.

　Dark stayed behind and took Ergani from behind. Ergani was the "Snake-driving Goddess".

　Dak's idea was to let her see if she could be brought under her command before the "Feathered Serpent God" Youhui became a god.

　This behavior, strictly speaking, is a strong provocation against "Kukuku".

　Even if the young "Feathered Serpent God" was not an incarnation of "Kukukuk", he was still a god.

　If Ergani were to take him under her command, it would be tantamount to taking away the divine power of "Kukukuk".

　This is a potential trigger that, if mishandled, could ignite a war between the two gods.

　But the present is the present, and the future is the future.

　If we could completely control the young Quetzalcoatl, it would certainly bring endless benefits.

　As for "Kukuku," who knows where Pao is still sleeping eternally? The future is unpredictable, so let's not bother trying to predict it.

　"How was the journey?" Dark asked. Ergane smiled slightly and said, "Not bad."

　……

Chapter 1448 Darkdemon and the Summoning of the Bull God (4k)

　Ergane now possesses more of the qualities of a god.

　During this period, apart from developing the "artificial holy sword," she basically oversaw the construction of the temple in the dense forest.

　As the temple of the "God of Wisdom" was gradually completed, her awareness of her divine status grew stronger.

　Then, naturally, an authority related to "art" was awakened.

　In Greek mythology, Athena is the goddess of wisdom, war, and art, with art being one of her divine domains. During her seclusion, she studied a vast number of books, including many considered useless by others, covering subjects such as weaving, cooking, gardening, pottery, painting, music, poetry, and dance.

　Although her artistic cultivation has not yet been put into practice, it is already at a very high level in her mind.

　This is a major reason why she was able to successfully awaken the authority related to "art". And the authority she awakened this time was named "the principle of art".

　The principle of art is a rather abstract authority.

　Its function seems to be merely to make it easier for her to understand the thoughts of the artist at the time of creation.

　Even though she has never met the creator in person, or even knows who the creator is, she can still do this with just the artwork.

　With the inherent abilities of the "God of Wisdom," as long as one's thoughts are synchronized, one can easily create an identical work. Furthermore, one can further develop derivative works based on that work.

　Ergani's works, created in this way, can truly achieve the level of "deception".

　Even if she doesn't actually do "forgery," the accumulation of ideas can elevate one's level of understanding.

　Her artistic level will increase rapidly as she studies various works, eventually reaching a level that is difficult for ordinary people to match.

　As her artistic cultivation improves, her personal temperament will naturally become better.

　It can only be said that the "god of wisdom" is still growing rapidly.

　As they walked and talked, Dark quickly led Ergani to the Temple of Life.

　Professor Steven Harvey arrived earlier than them. But his attention was completely elsewhere, not on the young Quetzalcoatl. Instead, he was glued to the outer wall of the Temple of Life like a madman, as if trying to sense the "life rhythm" emanating from it.

　Necromancers possess an exceptionally strong perception and understanding of life. Moreover, Professor Harvey's research has delved into the realm of "Heroic Spirits," and upon arriving at this Temple of Life, he immediately sensed something different.

　He looked at the temple as if it were a slumbering beast, and his eyes gleamed.

　After a long while, Professor Harvey left the wall, marveling, "The longer you live, the more you see. I never imagined there was such life in this world."

　Professor Cazell asked, "Steven, have you found anything?" Professor Harvey replied, "Cazell, I have a theory. This temple might actually be able to stand up."

　"Stand up?" Professor Cazell's brow furrowed slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes. Professor Harvey said, "Since it's a living thing, it can naturally move. Its original form was likely similar to the giant robots favored by goblins and dwarves. Of course, it was much larger than those robots."

　Professor Kazel said, "That's a very novel idea. However, our current research focus is not on the temple itself, but rather... its core."

　After he finished speaking, he pointed to the young patient, "Quetzalcoatl".

　Professor Harvey said, "I saw it; that's the heart of the temple, isn't it?"

　Professor Cazell said, "More or less."

　Professor Harvey said, "Then it's the control center."

　Professor Cazell suddenly had a feeling that Professor Harvey might have been poisoned by the giant robot.

　And on the other side.

　Dark had brought Ergani to the young Quetzalcoatl. Of course, the young Quetzalcoatl, who was already about five years old, was no longer a child, but it would be inappropriate to simply call her Quetzalcoatl.

　After all, it has not yet become a god.

　"Let's wait until we determine its ownership before naming it," Dark asked. "Can it be considered a snake?"

　Ergani glanced at it and said, "A feathered serpent is still a serpent." Dark replied, "Idiot is still idiot."

　Ergani rolled her eyes at him and said, "Before it condenses its divine essence, it will remain within my control."

　"That's the problem," Dark said.

　Ergani said, "With my current abilities, if I leave a mark before its godhood is forged, I can temporarily suppress it even after it becomes a god."

　Darke then said with relief, "That's good."

　Ergani said, "Actually, there's no need to worry too much. This little snake is probably not the reincarnation or incarnation of 'Kukuku.' It's likely just the control center of this temple, and wasn't originally a living being."

　Darke raised an eyebrow and said, "It seems like Ding Yi has a brain like a little boy:

　Ergani said, “Brain, soul, heart, and such metaphors are all acceptable. When the temple is intact, it can be used to control the entire temple, or the temple can be temporarily entrusted to it for mechanical tasks, such as cleaning, planting, temperature control, lighting, or responding to the prayers of certain believers.”

　Dak nodded slightly, which is equivalent to an artificial intelligence system.

　I just don't know how the artificial intelligence in this Temple of Life transformed from inanimate to biological.

　厄耳

　Although Gani could see through the root of the "Feathered Serpent God's" childhood ailment, she could not fathom how it had changed to this state.

　That might be based on the evolution over a long period of time, or it might be related to some authority of the goddess of life.

　However, if Ergane's judgment is correct, the birth of this "feathered serpent" child can only be seen as a sign that "Kukuk" is about to awaken, rather than a springboard for its revival.

　This is certainly not a bad thing.

　However, we cannot completely let our guard down.

　Even if this "Feathered Serpent God" child is not a reincarnation of "Kukukuk", it should still be a creation of "Kukukuk" and still have a strong connection.

　Right now, we can only say that we can make effective use of "Kukuku" before it awakens.

　Without a word, Dark immediately ordered Ergani to use the authority of the "Serpent God" to control the "Feathered Serpent God" Yuhui.

　Ergane nodded slightly and began the procedure. The process was completely silent.

　Even the young "Feathered Serpent God" itself was completely unaware that Ergani had already brought it under the control of the "Serpent God".

　There is no need to make them aware of it.

　The purpose of summoning Ergani was merely to place an insurance policy, not to manipulate the young Quetzalcoatl to do anything.

　Next, all they need to do is summon the evil god and turn him into a delicious food.

　Dark chose the "Three-Headed Dragon God".

　However, because of Professor Harvey's arrival, they also prepared the materials to summon the "corpse cow".

　Considering that the "corpse bull" was far less threatening than the "three-headed dragon god," they decided after discussion to first use the "corpse bull" as the summoning target for experimentation.

　Dak didn't find this objectionable.

　Professor Harvey is so captivated by the Temple of Life that he probably won't be able to stop anytime soon.

　It's already past midnight, so there's no rush.

　Therefore, he took out a photocopy and told Ergani about his experience exploring the temple during this period, and showed her the divine objects one by one.

　Ergane listened patiently, and also displayed the appropriate curiosity in every way.

　Dark's temple exploration was not without its interesting and dangerous moments. However, because the executor was a magical elf, the level of danger plummeted, making the entire adventure relatively smooth and lacking in excitement.

　But from his account, the entire expedition was described as magnificent and even more exciting than the actual events.

　After listening to the story, Ergani gained a more detailed understanding of the situation.

　She was also quite interested in the divine artifacts that the magical elves obtained from the temple.

　In particular, the seemingly useless "Oracle Orb" gave her great inspiration.

　Although she is the "goddess of wisdom," her methods of using divine power have always been limited to her own authority, and are quite barren.

　This is because she has no inherited memories, and she has to figure everything out on her own.

　The appearance of this "Oracle Pearl" opened up a completely new path for her, allowing her to suddenly discover that her divine power could be used in such a way.

　Her interest grew, and once Dak finished telling the story, she immediately began to study the "Oracle Orb".

　Dark glanced at it and thought that perhaps it wouldn't be long before she would be able to create her own "Oracle Orb".

　Meanwhile, Professor Harvey, under Professor Kazel's explanation, developed a very strong interest in the "Beast of Life's Fire Seed".

　If the "Beasts of Life" can be successfully bred, each one will be a demigod species equivalent to an angel.

　In particular, the two "Life Beast Fire Seeds" obtained from the third level both possess the potential to become gods.

　After some research, Professor Harvey naturally came up with a method to transform the "Beast of Life's Fire" into an undead creature.

　Once the "Beast of Life's Fire Seed" is transformed into an undead creature, its properties will be completely altered, thus accelerating its gestation process.

　The original "Beast of Life Fire Seed" needs to be placed in an environment where the flame of life is strong, so that it can slowly absorb the life force from the environment and gradually grow.

　However, once it is transformed into an undead creature, that peaceful absorption will turn into "plunder".

　Stealing lives and creating the undead—that's the kind of behavior a necromancer would exhibit.

　But his ideas didn't stop there.

　After explaining to Professor Kazel how to transform the "Beast of Life's Fire Seed" into an undead creature, Professor Harvey suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized that the "Beast of Life's Fire Seed" was simply an exceptional physical body.

　It comes into being from nothing, without any intelligence. As long as care is taken to prevent it from developing a soul and consciousness during its gestation, leaving it only with a shell, a near-perfect demigod body can be created.

　Then, using the methods of the "Corpse-Stitching Demon," the soul of another target is stitched into it, making the soul and body one.

　This allows the target's soul to be given a physical body, thus granting it rebirth. As for the technique of suturing the soul and body together…

　Professor Harvey had already gained some experience through his research on the "Corpse-Stitching Demon" Rororo. Although the experiment was interrupted when Rororo died at Mount of the Gods, later research based on "Heroic Spirits" made up for it.

　He is now capable of performing the soul-body suturing surgery. He is even planning to give Shirley Augustine a human body. And the "Beast of Life" has a very high degree of plasticity during its gestation process, so with Professor Harvey's abilities, it would not be difficult to transform it into a body that is similar to a human.

　However, one cannot have both fish and bear's paw.

　To transform the "Beast of Life" into a body similar to a human, it cannot be converted into an undead creature, thus preventing an increase in its gestation speed.

　Therefore, this will be a relatively long process.

　Today it is today.
