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

　Within the "divine kingdom" of the "God of Time and Life," there are countless methods to develop an understanding of "time"; the only question is whether one is willing to bear the risks and costs.

　She had already thought of the simplest method: contacting the "disordered flow of time".

　The time within the "disordered flow" is chaotic and disordered, meaning that there is constant and intense "change".

　Experiencing "change" is the only way to form "cognition". If one can clearly distinguish the boundaries of "disordered time flow", then simply inserting a finger into it will allow one to experience the changes of time in a relatively safe environment.

　Of course, even so, not everyone can do it.

　Furthermore, she was not yet aware of any potential side effects from exposure to "Disordered Time Flow," so she refrained from saying more.

　After seeing those "divine bodies," she finally understood why Dark had summoned only her.

　Her operation was relatively secretive, and she only briefly informed Professor Sylph.

　The "Seven Souls Locking Curse" within her had already lost its effect. She only reported it because she was inside St. Marian Academy. Furthermore, she didn't tell Professor Sylph where she was going.

　The only person who knew she was coming to see Dark was Professor Cazell… well, Professor Steven Harvey probably already guessed it too.

　After all, she had taken so many "Orbs of Truth" from Professor Kazel and also took away the "Beast of Life" that she had just nurtured.

　"We'll talk about the Beast of Life later. First, let's try our snow mountain specialties."

　Dark gestured for Ergani to sit down, then went into the laboratory for a quick look. After a while, Alvit interrupted the experiment and came out. Seeing Ergani sitting quietly at the table, she couldn't help but smile.

　Ergani, specifically, should be considered a goddess of St. Marian Academy. But she also knew, of course, that Ergani and Dark had a relationship as close as father and daughter.

　So, by that logic, wouldn't she and Ergane be in a grandmother-granddaughter relationship?

　So, it's time to trigger the "grandparental affection" buff!

　Although dinner was late tonight, it was a very pleasant experience.

　Ergani also used this opportunity to truly get along with Dark's family. However, halfway through the meal, the conversation veered entirely towards the exploration of the temple.

　Ergani brought a large number of "Orbs of Truth".

　Among them is even Professor Kazel's latest creation—the [Truth Sphere ProMax], which can seal even more objects, or [Truth Sphere PM] for short.

　【Pokémon of Truth】is a significant performance upgrade over the "Pokémon of Truth". It can store more and larger items, has spatial partitions, and comes with a seal.

　With the [Pokémon of Truth], you can seal multiple "Ice Golems" or "Divine Bodies" at once, and minimize the "Ice Golems" from receiving additional stimulation.

　In this way, they could finally conduct a large-scale sweep of the temple, sealing and taking away all the "ice statues" they saw, instead of just marking them on the map.

　However, it will take some time to completely excavate the "divine body" from the ice coffin; we can only do it little by little.

　After that, the "ice statue" and "divine body" sealed in the "Orb of Truth" were transferred to the "Magic Kingdom".

　This is the most important thing tonight!

　During dinner, Dark entered the laboratory and performed an extraction of "Pride" by himself. When he came out again, he saw Ergani showing the others a small, slime-like thing.

　He recognized it at a glance as a "Beast of Life," but it wasn't the "Beast of Life" he wanted—the one capable of releasing the "Light of Life."

　"What is this?" he asked, sitting down with some surprise. Ergani replied calmly, "The Beast of Life." Dark: "I know it's the Beast of Life."

　Ergane blinked, then said, "I call it (the Primal Life Embryo)."

　As she spoke, a faint white light emanated from her body, extending to the "original embryo of life," causing it to wriggle gently as if it were alive.

　—Why is it described as "like" a living thing?

　Although it looks like an adult slime, it is actually just an "embryo".

　Dark was somewhat surprised: "You've awakened the authority of the life lineage?" Although it was a telepathic communication, Ergani still spoke directly: "I call it 'breeding,' the authority of the 'livestock' lineage."

　It took Dark a while to realize that Athena was also the goddess of "livestock"...

　However, such unorthodox religious duties are indeed easily overlooked.

　Ergani's skill in nurturing life is probably related to this line of authority.

　“The ‘Primordial Embryo’ is a stage-like product between the ‘Seed of Life’ and the ‘Beast of Life’,” Ergani said. “You can also think of it as the embryo of the ‘Beast of Life’.”

　As soon as she finished speaking, Dark's gaze involuntarily hardened. He had completely grasped the existence of the "Original Life Form."

　That is clearly a method that simplifies the targeted breeding of "Beasts of Life".

　Ergani forcibly inserted such a transitional phase between the "Seed of Life" and the "Beast of Life," and used special technology to temporarily fix it, thus creating the "Primal Embryo of Life."

　The authority over "breeding" must have been used in this process.

　Therefore, the "original embryo of life" is, in every sense, a "product of God".

　Using the "Life Primal Embryo," even Dark can easily and conveniently cultivate it into the "Life Beast" he desires.

　In other words, the part he needed in the "magical spirit life-forming" project—cultivating the "magical spirit physical body"—had already been solved by Ergani in advance!

　This was the biggest surprise Ergani had ever given him!

　"..." After receiving the "Life Embryo" from Ergani's hands, Dark couldn't help but examine it carefully.

　This "original embryo of life" has no soul, no consciousness; it can be said to be a "special offering" made entirely for him.

　He couldn't help but feel moved.

　Ergani looked at him and said, "I've experimented with monsters from the dungeon. To cultivate a 'Life Primal Embryo' into a desired life form, you only need to inject materials similar to those required for the targeted cultivation of magical spirits into its body, and the success rate is extremely high. However, some additional work is still needed in shaping it."

　It's normal for life cultivation to have a failure rate. It's also foreseeable that shaping will require additional procedures.

　After all, even identical twins don't necessarily look exactly alike.

　However, after careful observation, Dark quickly realized a crucial problem. This "original life form" was not something he could create on his own using his current abilities.

Chapter 1700 Darkdemon and the Angel of God (5k)

　Ergani used the authority of "breeding" in the process of creating the "Original Life Embryo".

　That was a "miracle" that Dark was a human being who could not replicate.

　If he wants to replicate Ergani's method and create the "Life Primal Embryo" on his own, he will probably need to comprehend the relevant authority first.

　But if he could comprehend the relevant authority, he could probably directly challenge the "God of Life".

　For him, the success rate is 0.

　Therefore, unless he finds another way, or does not rely on the "Life Primal Embryo," he will have no choice but to obtain the "Life Primal Embryo" from Ergani.

　While it's not impossible to continuously obtain "Life Primal Embryos" from Ergani, he always wanted to construct a complete path for the "life-forming of magical spirits" that he could accomplish on his own.

　However, the idea of ​​adding "Life Primal Embryo" to this path can only be considered after becoming a "God of Magic".

　However, even without the "Life Embryo", he can cultivate the physical body of the magical spirit based solely on the "Seed of Life", so it's not a big problem.

　If you want to make things easier, you'll have to keep Ergani by your side.

　Speaking of this, Dark couldn't help but think of the essential material for creating high-level "seeds of life"—the "root divinity" of the "God of Life"!

　All the "Original Divinity" required for previous experiments was extracted from the body of "Queen of the Feathered Serpent" Christina.

　Therefore, the amount of "Root Divinity" needed to create "Life Within" is not much. However, excessively frequent extraction of "Root Divinity" will still harm Christina's growth.

　Therefore, Dark and others have always exercised restraint.

　However, to mass-produce the physical bodies of magical spirits, a large number of "seeds of life" are needed, which in turn require a large amount of "root divinity" from the "god of life".

　That was originally an unsolvable problem.

　But now that we have a large number of "divine bodies" in the "Snow Mountain Goddess Temple", it seems that this is no longer a problem at all.

　With Ergani's abilities, she might even be able to create "seeds of life" right here in this base.

　She brought the "original embryo" with her, not only to surprise him, but she must have had other purposes.

　—It's highly likely they want to use the "divine body" here to conduct some experiments.

　Dark did not ask any further questions, but instead returned the "Original Life Embryo" to Ergane.

　Unbeknownst to him, he discovered that all the conditions required for his "magical spirit life-transformation" project had been met.

　Once this exploration concludes and he successfully returns to the academy, he can almost immediately begin his experiments on bringing magical spirits to life, and there's a very high probability he'll succeed.

　This made him genuinely excited.

　However, that's something for when he gets back; right now, he should focus more on exploring the temple.

　One problem that must be solved during this temple exploration is the storage of the "divine body".

　The simultaneous appearance of so many "divine bodies" in the mortal realm would inevitably attract the attention of the gods.

　The Duke's mansion, to date, has not been able to deal with the prying eyes of those gods.

　Therefore, hiding the "divine body" in the "magical heaven" is a brilliant plan.

　Now that the "Beast of Life" has arrived, it's time to transfer the "Divine Body" to the "Magic Heaven".

　However, due to the temple's rules restricting spatial abilities, one must first leave the temple before opening the "Gates of Heaven."

　Therefore, a large number of "Orbs of Truth" are needed as transport tools. Now that everything is ready, Dark plans to begin the first transport early tomorrow morning.

　The "Snow Mountain Goddess Temple" ultimately belongs to the "Snow Mountain Goddess" (divine realm).

　The temple they were staying in was actually not very safe.

　If the "divine body" is kept in this base, it might suddenly disappear at any time.

　In short, it's best to secure your profits.

　After meal.

　laboratory.

　Dark finally obtained the "Beast of Life" that he wanted from Ergani, a creature capable of unleashing the "Light of Life".

　"Light of Life" is the authority of "Queen of the Feathered Serpent" Christina, an authority that integrates various abilities such as purifying viruses, giving life, and enabling life to grow.

　Its purification capabilities are almost exclusively designed to purify "glowing viruses".

　Driven by Christia, the "Light of Life" can purify all the "glowing viruses" in the areas illuminated by its light.

　However, because the subspace where the "Magic Kingdom" is located naturally breeds "glowing viruses," it is necessary to continuously illuminate it in order to keep a place in a "virus-free environment" for a long time.

　Christina, who is already the "Goddess of Life," can easily expand the "virus-free zone" to the size of a city.

　But Dark certainly couldn't expect her to stay in the "Magic Kingdom" forever. That's why there was a need to specifically cultivate the corresponding "Beasts of Life".

　A "life beast" without a soul or consciousness, born merely as a tool.

　After acquiring it, Dak examined it carefully.

　Ergani sculpted the "Beast of Life" into a perfect sphere, about the size of a volleyball, pure white, with a smooth and hard skin.

　If you shine an external light source on it, you'll find that its surface becomes transparent. Similarly, if you emit white light from inside it, you can also make its surface transparent, allowing the white light inside to shine through.

　Therefore, from its appearance alone, it is basically a luminous sphere. Suspended in the sky, it can emit light like a small sun. The "virus-free zone" it can create is approximately 173.205 meters in diameter.

　Dark knew it was 100 (square root of 3) just from hearing the number from Ergani.

　A sphere with a diameter of 173.205 meters can contain a cube with a side length of exactly 100 meters.

　At this moment, if this "Beast of Life" is placed in the air, its height can be used as the interface to divide it into two layers, each fifty meters high.

　If you want to use "Beasts of Life" to cover the space, you only need to lay one "Beast of Life" every 100 meters to achieve seamless coverage.

　Also.

　Although the "Light of Life" emanates in the form of light, its effects are actually penetrating.

　Even if there are obstacles blocking the light, it can still effectively purify the "glowing virus".

　"What about the food?" Dark asked.

　Ergani stated, "The premise is that it can feed on 'glowing viruses,' but this doesn't hold true in practice; it needs to provide the nutrients required by normal organisms."

　Dark nodded and said, "Then we can set up nutrient pipes, passing through the bodies of these 'Beasts of Life,' and then use slime magic sprites to clean the pipes."

　Ideas like these are the type that are easy to implement.

　Once the development and construction of "Magic Kingdom" begins, it will be necessary to set up cleaning and maintenance departments.

　These "beasts of life" are like "light bulbs," and they definitely need regular maintenance and upkeep.

　If vital signs are detected, the organ will need to be replaced.

　Therefore, it would be best to build a factory capable of mass-producing these "beasts of life".
