[The third update]
Raphael had forged the Red Pity Spear to bid farewell to her past, but she still refused to become Salin's follower. She could follow Salin, but she didn't want any restrictions.
Salin didn't mind. It was just a lack of a contract. In the past, he could understand it as Raphael looking down on his strength, but not now. Raphael was no longer as strong as Salin.
Salin now had a level-13 thunder spell, two level-14, and four level-15, in addition to his self-created thunder spell, Ball Lightning.
No, five level-15 spells. Among them, Lightning Serpent Dance didn't consume any Thunder Magic String when Salin used it.
Even though thunder magic was powerful, Salin didn't forget to practice elemental magic. There was no other reason. Thunder magic consumed six times more soul power than elemental magic.
Most of the time, Salin didn't need to use thunder magic to kill. Even the Thunder Dragon Spear could take care of it. Elemental magic couldn't be ignored, especially under special circumstances. As a control skill, elemental magic was stronger than thunder magic.
At least a low-level skill like Freeze couldn't be replaced by thunder magic.
This time, Salin used about forty days and a piece of Divinity to obtain 1200 years of time. The price was indeed a bit high, but without a large piece of equipment like the Hall of the Gods, Salin wouldn't have obtained the ability to change the flow of time even if he used a hundred pieces of Divinity.
In 1200 years, no matter how useless Zola and Sue were, they had both advanced. However, the two of them did not advance rashly. Instead, they cultivated step by step, and their foundations were incomparably sturdy.
Speaking of which, only Truman could be considered a genius. Salin had so many fortuitous encounters, and the equipment he had helped him advance greatly. He had only advanced one level, but Truman had already advanced to level-14.
A thousand and two hundred years. If it were an ordinary mage, it would be impossible for them to advance through time.
Salin was most surprised by Truman's advancement, because Truman was his student. He had written down all his experiences and insights in magic in the most detailed notes for Truman to memorize.
Truman's success would allow this precious knowledge to be passed down.
Mages didn't just exist to plunder. Their ultimate goal was to figure out the relationship between the elements and the world, and to see through the true nature of the world.
Salin also hoped that one day, he would become such a mage. However, he knew that there was a higher level crystal wall than the level-18 crystal wall. He himself might not be able to see the essence of the world clearly. Only generations of Mages could continue to study it.
What a fascinating thing, to use the power of a human to display the truth of the world.
Salin was very regretful that his teacher had not come along. With his teacher's power, he should be able to advance to the fifteenth level within a thousand years, right?
Thinking this, Salin unknowingly returned to the heroic spirit cemetery.
His strength was sealed at the thirteenth level to prevent the Great General from noticing any flaws. He had Divine Deity, but he didn't give it to the Great General. If the Great General found out, it wouldn't be good for him.
After returning the badge, the general didn't check Salin's rank. Instead, he said to Salin, "Salin, I have a favor to ask of you."
Salin felt strange and said, "Great General, you are the strongest in this world. If there's anything, you can at least settle it with a deal. I'm still not qualified to ask for a favor from you."
Salin spoke politely, and it was the truth. If the Great General didn't really need him, his soul would probably be destroyed with a thought, and there would be no way for him to turn things around.
"It's like this. You're a mage, so you know that a plane with a god will deteriorate quickly, unless it becomes a divine kingdom. However, in a divine kingdom, everyone is a believer, and no one can stop the power of a god. For humans, this is a tragedy. "
"You're talking about Myers, right?" Salin went straight to the point.
"That's right. I don't expect you to deal with her. Your power is not enough. But … "
"You want to obtain a stronger power of a god?"
"That's right. Only if I go personally can I kill Myers."
Salin shook his head. "I don't have that ability. Myers now has more than twenty million believers. She …"
"Believers aren't a problem. The problem is that she can contact the Plane's Origin and obtain power. In at most ten years, she can regain her strongest battle power. Even if she's only level-sixteen, she'll be hard to deal with."
Salin was silent. Wouldn't absorbing the power of the Plane's Origin accelerate the collapse of the plane?
"I said before, I don't need you to deal with Myers. You don't have that ability. I just hope that you can take some Hero Spirits with you. "
"Sign a contract? My Soul Power … "
"I'll help you increase your Soul Power so that you have enough power to sign a contract," the Great General said painfully.
These Hero Spirits were all very high-level. To let Salin have a powerful assistant, signing a contract was a must. However, signing a contract required Soul Power. For a level-thirteen mage like Salin to sign a Hero Spirit, it was already good enough. Salin's Soul Power had to be at its peak.
Salin silently put away the Ring of Cosmos and let his soul power fall to the bottom. Right now, his Soul Power had reached its peak by relying on the Universe Ring. With the Great General's promise, Salin knew that his biggest gain this time wasn't advancing to level-fourteen.
The cultivation of Soul Power was rather time-consuming. Salin had cultivated for a thousand and two hundred years, but his Soul Power hadn't grown much.
Because he had come alone, and the people around him were all in the magic amplification device, Salin was much more at ease.
When the Great Grandmaster appeared, Salin even smiled at her. The harvest this time had far exceeded his expectations. He had given the Heroes the news of Myers, and he had unexpectedly obtained such great benefits.
Salin didn't know how to suppress his excitement, so he could only practice magic. A square ice cube in his hand flipped and gradually split into two, four, eight …
The Ice Cutting Spell was an unpopular spell. Salin had learned it because he was familiar with the water element.
This could save him a lot of time. If he were to learn Fire Magic, even if there were no obstacles, he would still need a long time to train in order to achieve combat power. If Salin had enough time, why would he waste his monster cores in the Shrine of the Gods?
Although the Great Grandmaster's heart ached this time, he had no choice but to take out his treasures from the gravestone of the Hero Spirits. He had originally prepared this for his student, but unfortunately, he couldn't use it anymore. Someone like Salin wasn't worthy of being his student, but he had to enjoy such a good thing.
The Great Grandmaster handed a jade-colored bottle to the Great General with an ugly expression and returned to his gravestone without a word. The Great General could only smile. This time, he couldn't blame the Great Grandmaster. He had thought of his student.
The Great General held the jade-colored bottle in his hand, but didn't immediately give it to Salin. He said to Salin, "The Great Grandmaster can't use this thing himself. It's not that he's unwilling to part with it. To him, this thing is already useless. However, it's a souvenir."
"I understand. It's for his student." Salin spoke very reasonably. Since it was his now, why should he make others unhappy?
"This thing doesn't have a name. It can increase your soul power, but the extent of the increase depends on your foundation. Even a magic apprentice would have a strong soul power with this bottle. So you should waste it and drink it. I don't want your soul power to be unable to withstand twenty-four contracts. "
"I understand. Is there any danger?"
"You have the Lightning Badge, so you should know some low-level lightning skills. There shouldn't be any danger." The Great General replied.
"Alright, bring me into the gravestone of the Hero Spirits."
The Great General hesitated for a moment. This little loss didn't matter. He had already paid a great price. The greatest price was the sacrifice of twenty-four of his comrades.
Salin re-entered the gravestone of the Hero Spirits, but he couldn't see the Great General's coffin. The scene was grey and hazy. Clearly, the Great General didn't want to waste any more energy. He just wanted to give Salin a safe space.
Salin drank half of the medicinal liquid in the bottle and threw the other half into the Universe Ring. In the depths of his soul, a ball of flame exploded violently, as if it wanted to burn Salin to ashes.
Salin smiled slightly. This was an illusion.
But at the same time, the illusion would cause Salin's soul to suffer. Salin could only maintain the frequency of the Thunderous Bursts in his soul. Although this low-level lightning magic didn't have much offensive power, it was the best to deal with such an illusion.
Salin saw his soul expanding under the catalysis of the medicinal liquid. This expansion was like a raging fire. If he didn't have the Thunderous Technique, he would have died easily.
It seemed like the correct way to consume it was to have a teacher help him.
After Salin confirmed this, he lost the last bit of good impression he had of the Great General. This was the Great General's hope that his soul would be damaged. This way, even if he repaired it in the future, there would be a flaw.
Within his soul, the lightning runes all flickered. The power of the medicinal liquid couldn't go berserk within the lightning runes. It could only nourish and strengthen his soul bit by bit.
Salin once again deduced the Great General's intention. Half a bottle of this medicinal liquid was enough to increase his soul power. The other half was extra, used to repair the damage to his soul.
It was still very painful, but it was already within an acceptable range. The training from the family badge had made Salin very numb to pain. Under such circumstances, he was still observing the details of the strengthening of his soul.
Salin's soul gradually expanded to a level that could only be achieved with the Universe Ring, and it was still growing. Slowly, Salin's soul and body had already fused together. This fusion was very subtle. It was fusing together with his Demonic String. In other words, his ability to use the Demonic String would become stronger in the future. It would be even stronger than when he wore the Universe Ring.
With such soul power, wearing the Universe Ring, it was enough to lock onto a Level 15 Immortal.
