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

　The fusion of the ice statue and the "divine body" increased its value, but it did not increase its temporal perception.

　She quantified it as "1+1=1".

　Looking at the "divine body" that had been fused into one, Dark and the others suddenly had an epiphany.

Chapter 1693 Darkdemon and the Luna Armor (4k)

　After a heated discussion, Dak and the others finally gained a more accurate understanding of the connection between the "divine body" and the "ice statue".

　The fusion of the "ice statue" and the "divine body" did not increase the "divine body's" concept of time, probably because they are just two different forms existing in the same time period.

　Although both forms belong to the same individual, they exist on different timelines.

　The same time scale on different timelines.

　For some reason, the "Snow Mountain Goddess" split a single individual's timeline into two, causing it to develop into two different forms along the same time scale and two different timelines: the "Ice Statue" and the "Divine Body".

　Because they are the same entity within the same timeframe, when the "Ice Statue" and the "Divine Body" meet, based on the self-repairing principle of the laws of time, the "Ice Statue" and the "Divine Body" will merge back into the same entity.

　Furthermore, because the "divine body" holds an absolutely dominant position in both forms, the individual will primarily be in the "divine body" after the return of time.

　As for why the "divine body" holds an absolutely dominant position...

　Perhaps it's because it's relatively complete.

　It could also be because it is on the main timeline, while the "ice statue" is on the split sub-timeline.

　Through this manipulation, the "Snow Mountain Goddess" created two identical "gods" at the same point in time within the same world. These two "gods" still belong to the same individual, but they have lost their uniqueness.

　"Uniqueness?" Dark asked, puzzled.

　Claire said solemnly, "Everyone in the same world is unique; that is the uniqueness of a person. Similarly, gods also possess the uniqueness of gods, and this uniqueness is inextricably linked to their immortality."

　Dark's heart stirred, and he said, "When a god splits in two, its immortality also splits in two. Only when both parts die is it truly dead, and only then will the god's immortality be triggered."

　Claire nodded and said, "The death of only one person doesn't count as a death."

　Dark immediately understood: "This means that one of them will lose their immortality!"

　Claire slowly exhaled and said, "No, both of them will lose their immortality."

　Dark was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"

　Claire pointed to the rows of ice coffins and said, “What we usually refer to as the immortality of gods isn’t true immortality, but rather the ability for gods to be resurrected after death. The ‘Resurrection of the Gods’ is a wave that can resurrect gods. This death and resurrection even includes those near-eternal seals and slumbers. Therefore, there are no truly eternal divine seals in this world; under the influence of the world’s will, they will eventually break free. But if they lose their immortality, the world’s will will no longer pay attention to them, and their seals and slumber will become eternal.”

　Darkton suddenly understood: "I see. As long as neither of those two entities is completely killed, neither of them will be immortal. Even the cycle of 'Gods' Resurrection' cannot revive them from their eternal slumber."

　Claire said, "That's it."

　Dark said, "The 'Ice Statue' and the 'Divine Body' are both remnants of divine beings. Their time was frozen at the last moment before their death, leaving them in a state of near-death, so they can never be resurrected. Then we…"

　Claire said, "That's right. The moment we merge the 'Ice Statue' and the 'Divine Body' into one, they will regain their immortality."

　Dark frowned deeply: "Then they will also be resurrected."

　But Claire smiled mysteriously and shook her head, saying, "The 'Resurrection of the Gods' is a cycle. What is resurrected are the gods who died in the previous era, not those who died in this one. The true death of these gods is the moment when both the 'Ice Statue' and the 'Divine Body' are fully activated. And the immortality they regain occurs after their timelines merge and become one, or after the complete death of one of their timeline fragments. In short, it all happens within this era."

　Dark said, "In other words, the probability of them being resurrected in this era is extremely low."

　Claire said, "In short, we can't ride the wave of the 'Resurrection of the Gods.'"

　“Then…” Angrey, who had been listening attentively, suddenly asked, “Why did this ‘Snow Mountain Goddess Temple’ suddenly appear? Isn’t it because of the wave of ‘Gods’ Resurrection’?”

　Faced with Angry's question, Claire replied without hesitation, "That's because of the 'Snow Mountain Goddess', of course."

　Dark said, "The 'Snow Mountain Goddess' possesses immortality, and the emergence of the 'Snow Mountain Goddess Temple' is a sign of her resurrection. This means that the 'Snow Mountain Goddess' will surely be resurrected in the era before those gods are resurrected... and once she completes her revival before those gods..."

　Claire said, "This is God's plan." Angry lowered his head in thought, as if he had understood.

　At this moment, Aylvit spoke up, "Does this mean that if we continue our investigation, we can find the opportunity to resurrect the 'Goddess of the Snow Mountain'?" Claire replied, "Probably. But even without our intervention, she will likely complete her resurrection in other ways."

　Alvie nodded, saying, "Now that the 'Snow Mountain Goddess Temple' has emerged, the resurrection of the 'Snow Mountain Goddess' is inevitable; it's only a matter of time. But a god who can control time and life must be terrifyingly powerful, and judging from Chi's methods, it's highly likely he's not a benevolent god." Claire pondered, "I think so too. But the fragments of this temple's consciousness have already awakened. If it consciously wants to resurrect the 'Snow Mountain Goddess,' it's not something we can stop at present."

　Arvit frowned and said, "Then we'll extract all the fragments of the temple's consciousness. We might not be able to stop the 'Snow Mountain Goddess's' resurrection, but we can at least delay the Robe's resurrection."

　Claire said, "It should be delayed until at least after the Magic Path is forged." The forging of the Magic Path is the key to becoming a god.

　Then we'll know who the first God of Magic was.

　If it were one of them, then they should be able to gain the ability to fight against the "Snow Mountain Goddess," and the threat posed by the "Snow Mountain Goddess" would be greatly reduced.

　If it's not one of them, then... well, there's nothing more to say, just let things be as they are.

　At this point, Arvit shook her head: "I originally planned to explore every corner of this temple, but now it seems necessary to pause."

　“No rush,” Claire said. “First, we need to capture the fragments of the temple's consciousness, then pinpoint the area where the ‘Snow Mountain Goddess’s’ resurrection trigger is located. As long as we don't trigger it, we can explore the rest of the area. In short, we need to find a way to bring out those little things hiding in the shadows.”

　The two of them immediately began discussing how to find and capture those fragments of the temple's consciousness.

　Meanwhile, Dak returned to his experimental table, took his tools, and went to the "divine body" that exuded the aura of the "Moon Goddess" to begin carving!

　Break open the ice coffin, free the "divine body," and then let Angry bring this "divine body" to life.

　The next step was to find a way to extract the original divinity that remained in this "divine body" until now.

　Since it has been presumed that the owners of these "divine bodies" are basically unable to be resurrected in this era, there is no need to be as cautious as before about extracting materials from the "divine bodies".

　In short, we can finally loosen up a bit.

　The materials Dark had previously extracted were things like divine blood, hair, and horn powder. While these were sufficient, the most valuable aspect of most "divine bodies" was actually their "fundamental divinity." The "divine bodies" within this hall were often powerful individuals in life, and having been sealed in ice coffins and in a state of "time stop," their "fundamental divinity" was remarkably well-preserved.

　However, the "Original Divinity" of that "Moon Goddess" was more abundant than the "Original Divinity" that Alvit had found when she personally went to the "Ancient Temple of the Moon" last time.

　It's important to know that the "root divinity" directly enabled the "soul of the moon goddess" to complete an entire stage of evolution.

　As Dark personally excavated the ice coffin, the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" lay perched atop it, watching eagerly, clearly impatient. Dark himself was also quite looking forward to it; he had a feeling that this would be the first substantial reward he would receive since participating in the exploration of the "Snow Mountain Goddess Temple."

　dusk.

　With the help of Alvit, Dark completed the carving of the ice coffin. And with the help of Angry, he completed the revitalization of the "Moon God's" divine body.

　That was a beast god.

　Its appearance is somewhere between a white fox and a silver wolf, with a spiral horn on its head that exudes a sacred aura, like the horn of a unicorn.

　It is quite large, and its body is very intact, making it difficult to see any "damage".

　It's completely unimaginable how the "Snow Mountain Goddess" managed to subdue such a deity unharmed.

　However, in reality, it has neither "consciousness" nor "soul"; what remains here is merely a shell.

　After the "divine body" of the "Moon Goddess" was fully activated, Dark began to draw (source divinity) from its body.

　Since it was his first time operating the equipment, he was guided by professionals throughout the process, and his operation speed was not particularly fast.

　But essential skills like these must always be mastered, and as proficiency increases, operating speed will gradually increase.

　A little over an hour later, he had completely extracted the "Original Divinity" from the [Moon God's Body], filling an entire row of test tubes. Since these test tubes weren't specifically designed for storing "Original Divinity," the divinity within them wouldn't remain for long and had to be used immediately.

　But it didn't matter at all, because the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" was already impatient. It waited patiently for Dak to say "okay," and quickly picked out a test tube, pulled out the cork, and poured it into its mouth.

　The "original divinity" of the "Moon Goddess" transformed into a silvery-white liquid in the test tube, flowing into its mouth.

　It took one last big gulp to make sure not a drop was left.

　Dark picked up the magic card and glanced at it. The amount in just this one test tube had already caused the progress of the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" divine essence to soar from 30% to 42%!

　"A 12% increase in one go!"

　"Although the amount of primordial divinity required will gradually increase as the divinity-forging progresses, there are still seven test tubes left..."

　Dark glanced at the row of test tubes filled with silvery-white liquid and subconsciously swallowed.

　He suddenly realized that his previous fantasies seemed to be a bit simplistic.

　"These remaining seven test tubes... could they possibly be enough to..."

　Thinking this, his gaze toward the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" became even more fervent.

　"Stop, stop looking!" "Soul of the Moon Goddess" picked up the second test tube and took a deep drag, her cheeks inexplicably flushing red as she complained. Dark ignored her.

　Perhaps sensing that something was amiss, Aylvit and Claire, who were biting into bread and carrying broth, quickly approached.

　They naturally already knew that Dark was absorbing "Original Divinity". However, like Dark, they didn't think much of it, only that Dark's "Lunar Armament" should be able to be further enhanced.

　Previously, "Moon Goddess Soul III" was at the limit of the third tier, which is the level of nine stars.

　The "armed evolution" on this basis only allows it to break through the third tier and reach the bottom line of the fifth tier, which is ten stars.

　Although the ten-star "Moon Goddess" already possesses combat power far exceeding that of a regular twelve-star card, it is still slightly inferior compared to those powerful "God Cards".

　If it could go even further, the [Moon Goddess (Divine Armor)] might be able to reach the level of the "Golden Armor".

　The "Golden Armor" is a near-god-level weapon that grants the wearer combat power close to that of a god.

　This is its height, and also its limit.

　Therefore, after Alvita became a "saint", she no longer had much need for the "Golden Armor", which is why she thought of using it to create the "Zodiac" maid group.

　If the "Lunar Armor" can reach the level of the "Golden Armor", then all ordinary "God Cards" will be crushed by it.

　But now it seems there's more to it than that.

　Alvette and Claire looked at Yue Zhongzhi in unison, a possibility emerging in their minds, and they were both somewhat unable to contain themselves.

　The "Soul of the Moon Goddess" turned slightly to avoid direct eye contact. However, she picked up the test tube and absorbed the "Original Divinity" at a remarkable speed.

　With the second "Original Divinity" completely absorbed, its divinity forging progress instantly soared to 52%.

　Then the third one...

　Sixty-one percent!

　"Just three of them account for over 60%!"

　Dark suddenly looked up at the "Soul of the Moon Goddess".

　Then you can see that its body has floated up on its own, and the silvery-white light emanating from its body wraps its whole body like silk.

　Evolution unfolds!

Chapter 1694 Darkdemon and the Soul of the Moon Goddess (V) (4k)

　[Soul of the Moon Goddess] From the first stage to the second stage, it completed the transformation from "mechanical form" to "semi-mechanical form".

　From the second to the third stage, the transformation from "semi-mechanical form" to "human form" was completed.

　The type of its magic cards has also gradually changed from "armed cards" to "magical spirit cards".

　However, this transformation in form has reached its limit, and it is unlikely that the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" will undergo any further changes at this level.

　After a moment of deep thought, Dak saw the radiance on the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" suddenly dissipate like the wind. Then, an even softer and purer radiance burst forth from its body, a radiance like moonlight, forming a veil, dreamlike and ethereal.

　The "Soul of the Moon Goddess" held her hands to her heart, closed her eyes tightly, and her long, silvery-white, silky hair moved without wind. Her fair and beautiful face radiated a soft glow, and she seemed... indeed even more beautiful than before.

　Of course, the divinity emanating from it was also noticeably more refined. Before anyone knew it, the entire hall was illuminated by moonlight.

　If you look up at this moment, you might see a full moon in the sky, which doesn't actually exist, but gives the impression that it does.

　The environment they were currently in was, after all, the "Divine Kingdom" of the "Snow Mountain Goddess," and the anomalies caused by the evolution of the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" had not affected the entire "Divine Kingdom." Only their hall was shrouded in a layer of moonlight.

　The "Soul of the Moon Goddess" slowly opened its eyes, and all the moonlight suddenly converged behind its head, forming the shadow of a full moon.

　Compared to her previous plain dress, her dress now features more intricate and delicate cloud patterns, making her appear even more noble.

　Instead of looking down at the magic card, Darke injected magic power to get feedback directly.

　As a flood of information entered his mind, the new card art for "Soul of the Moon Goddess" naturally came to mind.

　This "Soul of the Moon Goddess" has indeed been upgraded from "Soul of the Moon Goddess III" to "Soul of the Moon Goddess IV".

　Its star rating successfully surpassed the nine-star limit and soared directly to twelve stars!
