Hum hum ~ ~
With the increase in quantity and the change in quality, the green copper mirror instantly had a strong reaction. The spiritual power that was poured into it penetrated the interior of the artifact like a hot knife through butter.
Unlike the slow and unhurried process last time, the artifact seemed to have sensed the increase in the user's spiritual power. This time, the speed at which the artifact was activated was much faster. At the edges of the green copper mirror, blue patterns rapidly appeared due to the activation of this spiritual power. Then, they continuously climbed along the left and right sides of the copper mirror until the two shining patterns gathered at the top of the copper mirror …
Boom!
A crazy suction force suddenly pulled at him. Even though Lao Wang was mentally prepared and thought that his strength had greatly improved and that he should be able to easily resist it this time, he was still unable to control himself. The spiritual power that he had connected to the copper mirror was instantly pulled over, and the suction force even extended into his body. The strength of the suction force was more than twice as strong as last time!
In the blink of an eye, his Void Core was exhausted, but the suction force did not stop, as if it wanted to suck his entire Void Core into pieces!
This suction force was too overbearing! It looked like the activation of this artifact was rather restrained. As expected of an artifact that was above level-4. Even though it was just a small device used for communication, it was controlled by an artifact spirit with simple intelligence. It could adjust the strength of the absorption of spiritual power according to the strength of the user. It was rather extraordinary.
Only Lao Wang could do this. His divine cells were immediately activated. With a thought, all the divine cells in his body suddenly opened up like controllable pores. Endless spiritual power continuously burst forth from various parts of his body. Furthermore, every divine cell used his Void Core as a reference. They were like countless planets that revolved around a star. They corresponded with each other and had a continuous source of regenerative power. However, even so, they still could not keep up with the speed of the suction force.
Lao Wang was silently worried. This thing simply looked like a bottomless pit and was only used for communication … Now that Lao Wang had come into contact with more higher-ups in the Heavenly Gates, he gradually understood that the Machinery race obviously had various more convenient technological methods for communication, transportation, and other daily tasks. However, the higher-ups in the various civilizations in the Land liked to use these kinds of laborious things. On one hand, this was a cultural habit, and on the other hand, they had the intention of training their disciples. For example, when one's spiritual power was sucked dry by this copper mirror, the process of recovery was a form of cultivation. Not only could it expand one's spiritual power, it could also allow one to adapt to extreme fatigue and exhaustion. There were many benefits to practitioners.
Convenience? If they only cared about convenience, then how could they reach higher realms? How to enter the Heaven Realm? The technology of the Machinery Race could not help one pass through the Heavenly River Tide. If it was for convenience, then there was no need for the races in the Land to cultivate …
Chaotic thoughts flashed past Lao Wang's mind. This time, he continued to consume energy for around three minutes, and his spiritual power was exhausted once again. At this moment, a clear thought was transmitted from the copper mirror.
Do you want to stop the transfer of spiritual power? "
"Stop!" Lao Wang felt that it was about time. He did not want to be sucked dry again. Although he could recover very quickly by relying on pills, going too far was as bad as not doing enough. If he sucked dry to that extent, it would not be cultivation, but suffering.
Ding …
A soft sound was transmitted into his mind, and the crazy suction force dissipated as Wang Zhong's thoughts were transmitted.
His nerves, which had been stretched to their limits, relaxed. Lao Wang hurriedly threw a few Vitality Supplement Pills into his mouth and allowed them to slowly melt and decompose in his mouth. He did not care about regulating his breathing. After activating this artifact, the energy consumption was very fast, and he did not want to waste it.
At that moment, his thoughts immediately sank into the copper mirror. His surroundings changed slightly, and the stars moved. When he opened his eyes again, just like last time, he was floating in a vast starry sky. A continent floating in the starry sky appeared in front of him. It was the model of the divine territory and the Land.
"Let's try to contact Mu Zi." Wang Zhong's thoughts moved, and his thoughts swept across the continent in the divine territory and the Land. Very quickly, he locked onto an overturned world that was under the thick continent in the Land.
That world looked very strange. It was opposite and overturned to the Land, but it was obvious that there was a gravitational force that allowed people in the Land to adapt to it. When the reversed white Heavenly River reached this place, it could no longer be seen. Instead, it was replaced by a black Netherworld River that flowed down from the original position of the Heavenly River and cycled back and forth.
There were also various densely packed biological light spots in the Land. This time, it was even more convenient than searching for Aiolos. Lao Wang did not know anyone else in the Land, and there were only two karmic links in the entire Land that connected him. Thus, he easily locked onto the two figures in the depths of the Netherworld River. Their auras were very familiar and unique.
There was no doubt that they were able to appear in the depths of the Netherworld River and had a karmic link with him. Furthermore, they were a duo.
Lao Wang was also excited. He directly connected with them with his thoughts. "Mu Zi! Grai! "
Hum ~ ~ ~ Hua hua hua hua …
"I seem to have heard someone calling me?"
In the depths of the Netherworld River, the Traveler on the boat raised his head in shock and looked at the sky with some confusion.
"Did you feel it too? I thought that it was my misconception. " Beside him, Grai furrowed his eyebrows. It seemed to be a spiritual summon, but it was too vague. Furthermore, it had just appeared when it was suddenly cut off, as if it was his misconception.
Mu Zi's confused expression stiffened slightly. Then, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It should be a misconception." He smiled and said to Grai, "Who can call us in a place like this?"
This was the depths of the Netherworld River. A terrifying Netherworld aura filled the entire space. Even the thoughts of Gold Core experts could not be transmitted over a long distance in this Netherworld aura, let alone sound.
"But …" As Mu Zi spoke, he suddenly furrowed his eyebrows slightly, as if he was doubting his own words.
Closely after, Mu Zi answered his own question. "There are no buts. Focus on the present. You cannot forget your mission, let alone the future of the Earth."
After he finished speaking, Mu Zi fell silent. Beside him, Grai also fell silent.
Recently, Mu Zi had been talking to himself more and more frequently. Grai could sense something, but he knew that he could not say it out loud as it was very dangerous for Mu Zi.
The two of them deliberately remained silent and did not make any sound. They simply gently rowed the oars on the boat. Other than the slight flow of water, there was no sound in the surroundings. Very quickly, their figures disappeared into the depths and darkness of the Netherworld River. They headed towards a place that had never appeared on the map of the Netherworld. That was their goal for this trip.
… …
Lao Wang also felt that this was rather strange. Just now, he had clearly sensed that he had connected with Mu Zi and Grai. He had even sensed that the two of them were in a state of silence at that moment. However, the spiritual pressure of the Netherworld aura in that space was too heavy, so heavy that the consumption of the artifact's thoughts rapidly increased. Furthermore, there was also a mysterious and powerful power interfering with it, easily cutting off the entire connection. Furthermore, the energy that the artifact had accumulated was instantly depleted.
This situation was completely different from the last time he had contacted Aiolos. Was there really an unknown and powerful existence interfering? Or was it simply because of the environment?
Lao Wang did not know. However, the energy that the artifact had accumulated had been completely depleted. When he retreated from the copper mirror, the Vitality Supplement Pill in his mouth had not even melted, let alone his exhausted physical body.
Lao Wang did not have the strength to continue and could only give up for now. He would try again the next time he adjusted his condition.

"No …"
Carolyn woke up from her dream with a start. Light lit up, and the room came alive because she had woken up. The gentle music of little spirits echoed in the room. The fresh morning air that was like a healing spell allowed her to heave a long sigh of relief.
It was just a dream.
Carolyn pulled up her long hair. Her black hair was as soft and smooth as brocade. She moved her slender and smooth legs down from the bed. Her bare feet stepped on the carpet in the room. She walked into the bathroom and immersed herself in the spray from the shower. She closed her eyes, as if she had returned to the terrifying dream.
However, the awake her was no longer the weak and powerless little girl in the dream. She turned off the water valve, and a beam of energy shot out from her fingertips. With a slight turn, the water droplets on her body instantly evaporated, turning into lingering mist that enveloped her delicate body. The mist brought about a relaxing and moisturizing effect. She used her other hand to gently coil up her long hair, leaving only two strands of seemingly weak hair on her temples.
Carolyn looked at herself in the mirror. She opened the makeup box at the side and lightly made up her appearance. In reality, she did not need much. She only needed the slightest embellishment, lip gloss, and a thin layer of eyeshadow. In "Heaven" where she worked, this kind of makeup was the most basic form of courtesy.
These embellishments were like stars in the night sky. Carolyn was extremely beautiful. Even among the spirits, her beauty was unique. Ever since she had been saved by Wang Zhong and ruthlessly rejected by him, she completely understood that her pride and vanity had been thrown under her feet. Everything was like the sea and the sky. Sometimes, the vision of ordinary people was narrow, but sometimes, it was like a different sky. This understanding caused Carolyn's temperament to change, as if she had become a different person. She became unique, like a flower that bloomed after a thunderstorm.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door, and a pleasant voice sounded through the door. "Manager Carolyn, General Manager Zhonya has invited you to come over."
Carolyn blinked, and the mist immediately surged from her body to the mirror. The beauty in the mirror was blurry in the mist. She grabbed a towel at the side and wrapped her snow-white body in it. Then, she walked into the bedroom and changed into an elven dress. She was elegant and fitting. She stepped into a pair of silver leather shoes with pointed toes, looking as elegant as a gentle breeze.
She opened the door, and two sharp-eared spirits looked at Carolyn with infatuation. Then, they quickly lowered their heads. "Manager."
"Let's go." Carolyn nodded, and the two spirits immediately led the way.
This was the "Paradise" operated by the Great Spirit Race in the inner circle of the White Horse District. It was a gentle place for the aristocrats to enjoy themselves. This place had everything that the aristocrats wanted. Eating, drinking, and having fun were the most basic. Fashion, taste, and the distinction between nobility and ordinary people were the reasons why this place was valued by the aristocrats.
Carolyn was already one of the four main managers of Paradise. This was a position that she had obtained with her own abilities. It was not easy to obtain, but it was reasonable. Humans might be weak in terms of strength, but human civilization had a high level of development in the field of culture. Most importantly, compared to the specializations of other civilizations, humans were especially comprehensive in terms of culture and art. Music, painting, acting, and so on, they had high achievements in all aspects.
Carolyn had such a foundation. Moreover, she understood the routines of the aristocrats too well. She could easily find the most secretive desires of the aristocrats. When she lowered her status and used various natural methods to lure and unearth the desires of the aristocrats, she quickly became a rare talent in Paradise. Not only the aristocrats, but even the Celestials were attracted by her routines.
The Great Spirits would not easily break their rules, but Carolyn was undoubtedly an exception.
"Look, it's Manager Carolyn! She's getting more and more beautiful! I can't remember what she looked like when she first came to Paradise. "
"At that time, she was still a little young and inexperienced, and the halo of her temperament was also dim. But once she found her confidence, ah, I almost suspected that she was the same person."
"These are all secondary. There has never been anyone in Paradise who could advance as quickly as she did. She was even valued by Her Majesty the Queen. I'm so envious. I heard that Her Majesty personally received her."
The gazes of the Spirits towards Carolyn were half filled with admiration, and the other half with jealousy. However, the Spirits had no resistance against beauty. They were more willing to put their jealousy aside and enjoy the atmosphere brought about by beauty. This was their happiness.
Of course, this also made it easy for the Spirits to become anxious when they saw ugliness, and even more aggressive.
Carolyn greeted every elf she met with a smile. Her beauty brought her popularity. Her appearance was not more exquisite than the outstanding elves, but the temperament she exuded made the high elves willing to lower their statuses and befriend her. They recognized her beauty, and not only did they converse with her, they even discussed their moods and worries with her.
"Carolyn!"
A sweet-sounding voice called out to her. Turning around, Carolyn smiled faintly as she looked at the two young girls taking quick steps towards her. As they walked, a light breeze accompanied them, while a faint fragrance assaulted her nostrils, causing her to feel invigorated.
"Yawu, Shaja, good morning."
The two young girls were both noble ladies of the Jia Clan. At this moment, one on the left and one on the right, they pulled Carolyn back. "Carolyn, come quickly and let us see whether this white lotus or that green lotus is prettier."
It was obvious that the two noble ladies were arguing.
"Yes, let me guess. Yawu, you like the green lotus, while Shaja, you like the white lotus."
"Carolyn, you're amazing!"
"You got it right again. You definitely didn't guess it. Tell us quickly!"
"Ah, it's actually very simple. I've said it before. Everyone has their own preferences. Different temperaments are suitable for different accessories. Yawu's temperament is like the white snow of the Holy Mountain. A green lotus can embellish the purity of the Holy Mountain." As Carolyn spoke, she tied the green lotus hair clip into Noble Lady Yawu's hair and casually helped her do a hairstyle.
Then, she turned around and did the same with Shaja. She smiled and said, "As for Shaja, you're lively and moving, and your temperament is like the morning glow. A bright white lotus will make you the center of the world. See, the two of you already know what you're suited to. That's why you like different things. "
Yawu and Shaja looked at each other and were both captivated by each other's beauty. Then, they sighed and said to Carolyn, "Carolyn, quickly teach us how to tie up our hair. Without you, we wouldn't look this good."
Carolyn laughed and nodded. "Then, how about I invite the two of you to go for a spa treatment first? I'll come and find you after I'm done. How about that? "
"That's great!"
The two noble ladies left happily and satisfactorily. Carolyn walked into General Manager Zhonya's office under the gazes of admiration.
Ever since Carolyn had become the manager, there had been an increasing number of noble ladies coming to Heaven. Correspondingly, the noble sons chasing after the noble ladies had also flocked to Heaven. Carolyn's relationship with those noble ladies had caused everyone to be jealous. However, no one was able to be like her and become a trusted friend of those noble ladies.
She had endless methods, and these were not problems that could be solved by fighting. Carolyn had diligently studied the history and habits of high-leveled civilizations. She was familiar with the preferences and habits of every high-leveled civilization. She had even used this to guide and nurture those noble ladies to have new hobbies. She called them new things and used this to move them, making them enjoy it.
