The dead sun …
Huai Shi's movements were stiff for a long time, and he did not speak.
The required items were [Sun's Remains], [Eternal Fire], [Seed of the Abyss]. The required condition was [Darkness of the Realms].
The required ritual was [Ignite Hell, Burn Everything].
In the end, he would be reborn from the boundless fire and light.
This was the advancement required by East Lord, the peak of Heaven's Inquisition.
In this regard, Tongi had already made a detailed explanation. Among them, [Sun's Remains] referred to the divine crystal left by the former Sun God, [Eternal Fire] was the source of eternal light from the scorching sun, [Seed of the Abyss] was the essence and power from the ruler, and [Darkness of the Realms], as the name implied, was the moment when the border of the Present Realm and Hell lost their light.
In the end, he ignited the entire Hell and burned everything, including himself.
From the collapsed Hell, he would become a new sun that rose and shone with endless light.
He would become East Lord.
It should be said that this was an advancement that belonged to Huai Shi alone, and it was more than one level higher than the requirements required for East Lord's advancement. Moreover, this was only a part of it …
Among the names listed in the long list, none of them were easy to deal with.
[Sun's Remains] required him to find the divine crystal left behind by a Sun God before he fell, but the problem was that most of the Sun Gods, as long as they had a name, were killed by someone who passed by many years ago, and not even a handful of ashes were left.
The rest fell into the Rancher's stomach. If he wanted to dig it out, he had to jump into the mouth of the Destruction Elemental and find it himself.
[Eternal Fire]'s requirement was the most general. It required Huai Shi to find an inextinguishable fire, an untainted light.
[Seed of the Abyss], on the other hand, required Huai Shi to kill at least one ruler with matching attributes. Then, he had to dig out their solidified souls and authority from their corpses and make them into his own advancement materials before drying them.
The most torturous thing was the prerequisite — [Darkness of the Realms].
As everyone knew, the sun was the projection of the Pillar of the Divine Essence in the universe. If they wanted to plunge the entire Reality, the border, and even hell into darkness, they would have to ask Huai Shi to turn off this light.
But this thing was not a switch placed next to the door, where anyone could just go and press it. Even if Huai Shi managed to find the switch, who knew what kind of chaos it would cause the moment the Spirit's Essence Pillar went offline?
That was the foundation of the three great seals!
Unless Huai Shi had made up his mind to become a traitor in the dark, he would never consider it.
One could only say that there was still a long way to go.
The moment he received the list, Huai Shi almost wanted to delete his account and stop playing.
Fortunately, the most illusory requirement had been met by him first — the [Eternal Inextinguishable Flame], which referred to the eternal light.
The flame had never been the focus. On the contrary, the light created by the fire was its essence.
And Huai Shi happened to have a set of Helios's Miracle in his hands, as well as the Ascension Mystic Instrument created by the Grand Master Publius. It pointed to his good brother, the Light King, Balder, who was still at his beck and call even though he was already dead!
At that time, Huai Shi would be the Light King's mortal incarnation, holding his authority in his hands.
The eternal light was not a problem at all.
If the Continuation Academy could help solve the [Sun's Remnant], then it was not impossible for him to work hard to fulfill the [Seed of the Abyss] …
Anyway, couldn't he just call for help if he couldn't win?
Recently, there was still the War of the Realms. Although it was not easy to find a ruler, it was better than finding a needle in a haystack in the vast Abyss.
As for the [Darkness of the Realms] … He could only hope that Tongi's estimation was correct.
As everyone knew, for the Astronomy Society, destroying a world was as easy as eating and drinking. After every major adjustment and turmoil, such as the War of the Realms, the Astronomy Society would spend a huge amount of Correction Points to reconstruct the Present Realm. After the old world was disintegrated, the Present Realm would be reconstructed on this foundation.
Reinstalling the C Disk, or rather, replacing it with a new one.
The Fifteenth World Destruction Plan and the World Creation Plan should already be in the process of preparation.
At that time, the Three Great Seals would definitely be temporarily closed, and the Spirit Marrow, Origin Substance, and Pillar of Change would also be offline. Huai Shi might be able to hitch a ride and find an opportunity to advance.
If that was the case, Huai Shi might not have a headache. After all, as long as there was a path, he could just take it. Bumps and bumpy roads were better than no roads at all.
But the key was that he had to take more than one path.
At the same time, he needed to prepare for and accept the advancement at the same time.
Not only did Yun Zhongjun need to advance, but Great Si Ming also needed to advance at the same time.
Otherwise, he would not be able to achieve the embryonic form of Taiyi. In fact, he might even be devoured by his own deluxe version of Dong Jun's advancement.
In the original deduction and calculation, the key reason why everyone who advanced to Dong Jun would become an artificial sun without any consciousness was that no matter how firm and tenacious a human's soul and will were, they could not withstand such a violent and huge divine power.
The miracle was too huge, and it would crush the soul of the ascendant.
Now, Tongi still dared to add more without any scruples. Other than letting Huai Shi take the deluxe version of the advancement at the beginning, her biggest assurance came from the other Sacred Mark, Chang Xi, which was originally designed to assist Dong Jun and prevent him from going out of control.
Chang Xi was named after the Moon Goddess. Compared to Dong Jun's tyranny, Chang Xi was the embodiment of mercy and peace. But in fact, just like the light of the moon was also reflected from the sun, these two Sacred Marks were two sides of the same coin.
'Chang Xi', an outsider that did not exist in Jiuge, was a control mechanism that Tongi specially added in the Road of Heaven's Inquisition after countless failures. It was a buffer layer that was tailor-made for Dong Jun.
Its essence was the combination of the divinity of Xi He, who was known as the 'Sun Protector', and Chang Yi, who was known as the 'Moon Mother'.
In the end, it formed a protection that was enough to protect the soul and will of the ascendant from being burned by the sun.
Otherwise, once the advancement began, Huai Shi would probably become the fuel of the sun, and he would not be able to achieve Dong Jun.
In order to form the embryonic form of Taiyi, Tongi added more water to the noodles, and water to the noodles. She was unwilling to reduce the ingredients, which directly led to the difficulty of Huai Shi's advancement from Nightmare Level to Nightmare Level.
Fortunately, she also knew that she could not get over her conscience and promised that Huai Shi would not have to worry about Chang Xi's advancement. She would take care of it herself. Otherwise, he would probably only feel despair …
And now, the Continuation Academy happened to place such a clue as the 'Dead Sun' in front of Huai Shi, which had already given him an irresistible reason.
But …
"Can I ask something?"
He raised his hand curiously. "Excuse me, who is the 'Dead Sun' referring to? After all, as far as I know, the death of the Sun God of the present realm is more … well, thorough. "
"It's normal to be suspicious. After all, even the Continuation Academy can't determine its state now," 008 replied.
"The clue we have is the whereabouts of the Sun God of the Indian lineage, Suriya —"
"Tsk."
Huai Shi seemed to hear a certain someone's displeased voice.
He pretended not to hear and continued to listen to 008. "Hundreds of years ago, before the gods chose to unite, what was going on for a long time was a war of unity and authority.
Many gods fell as a result. Among them, the most tragic fall was in the realm of the sun … Although Suriya was not spared, due to Brahma's reminder, before he fell, he transferred his divinity and authority to another place in advance to prepare for his resurrection.
However, the plan did not catch up with the changes. Due to the birth of the rancher, Suriya's resurrection ritual was affected and interfered with. It was destined to fail, but it was not a complete failure. If I have to say, after the separation of consciousness, the Sun God is now in a state of neither life nor death — "
008 reminded him. "If you want to find the remains of the sun, this will be your best chance. Other than that, I'm afraid there's only a pile of leftovers left to choose from in the whole realm. "
"Hehe, that dog, I said … I'm so pissed off! Those Indians are the same as their gods. None of them keep their words and do things reliably. They have a hundred thousand ways to run away and slack off. "
Huai Shi could only pretend not to hear the resentful whispers of a certain black-hearted woman.
After thinking for a moment, he could not help but ask, "Why do I feel that the Continuation Academy seems to want me to participate?"
"Indeed, this will be the first step in our formal cooperation, won't it?"
008 did not hide, nor was he afraid that Huai Shi would take the opportunity to raise the price. "In addition, regarding your advancement, we will provide all the help we can in the future.
However, now it seems that other things may not need to worry too much about unpopular characters like us … "
"To be honest, this is a bit overpriced."
Huai Shi rubbed his face and said helplessly, "As a tool, I still know what I'm capable of. You guys have come up with so many things, I'm a little … scared, you understand? "
"In terms of investment, some of us have already felt that such a strategy is too conservative."
008 was silent for a moment, and a trace of melancholy seemed to emerge in his dry electronic voice. "Sir Huai Shi, we are eager to witness the birth of a East King.
After all, Celestial genealogy is not the only one in this world who yearns for the return of the utopia …
Even if the behemoth of the past cannot return to its former height in a short period of time, this is not the reason why it must be missing. "
"The absence of one of the three pillars is not a good thing for the Astronomical Society or for the present state."
With that, 008 handed a gray invitation letter to Huai Shi.
"We will look forward to your reply."
In this regard, Huai Shi could only be silent.
In the end, before leaving, 008 asked again, "Do you have any other questions?"
"To be honest, there are a lot." Huai Shi shrugged. "When to leave, when to come back, about what to do. You have to tell me something I can know, right? "
008 raised his hand and took out a thin book from the briefcase again. "This is an answer book specially prepared for you. It includes our schedule, the parts you need to be responsible for, and so on. "
"This is really …" Huai Shi's eyes twitched, and he could only say, "Well prepared."
"This is the style of the Continuing Academy."
008 replied indifferently. "Besides that, is there anything else?"
Huai Shi thought for a moment and finally asked, "There is another question that has nothing to do with me."
"Please speak."
"Shangizumi, why did he agree to participate?" Huai Shi asked, "What did you promise?"
008 seemed to be silent for a second, but it was so short that people couldn't tell. In the end, he replied, "We promised him a position in the plan, that's all."
"His purpose is the process itself."
The messenger of the Continuing Academy said, "In the last stage of his life, Mr. Shangizumi wants a battle. A battle that can make him commit himself wholeheartedly like a swordsman and generously die … "
"— He wants a death that is worthy of the identity of the Sword Saint."
In this way, the final answer was made.
008 took a step back and took a last look at Huai Shi and the air behind Huai Shi. He nodded slightly, as if saying goodbye.
He turned and left.
Soon, the figure carrying the briefcase disappeared behind the open door.
