Maybe someone in the Main Plane had noticed the change in his Dream Tower, or even noticed that his power was fading away, even though it was not obvious. But he did not go there to confirm, so he did not know what the change was. Of course, neither Cassette Cutting nor Fat Otaku had the time to inform him.
He had just been absent-minded and upgraded his Language P +, and now he was secretly using his spare computing power to do his own thing. If he ditched his job and went to confirm the situation in the Dream Tower, the Lich would probably chase him to the ends of the earth. So, for the sake of his own life, Lin chose to stay at his post.
During the ceremony, the draconic music of the Symphony of the Heroes came to the second movement of the original song, which was a very slow adagio. There was a solemn beginning, followed by a low drumbeat. Although there were some bright parts, they soon entered the dark theme. The music was hurried and mournful. Although the theme reappeared at the end, only fragments were left. Amid the mournful cries, the music gradually faded out.
In this funeral music, however, was the birth of a new life.
Creating a life from nothing. Most people would think of the process of a woman's pregnancy. The life began to divide from the fertilized egg, from one to two, from two to four. Then, the embryo grew hands and feet, grew up, and finally took shape and gave birth. Of course, this process was given to the Lich by someone. She looked for other pregnant mammals to confirm it and then taught it to others.
This was also the method that Fen had planned to use. There were already many examples of this method. She only needed to find a way to recreate the natural process of birth.
But in order to let Shi Dong's new life experience the process of being born again, there were many problems that needed to be solved. For example, how to induce the stem cells in different parts of the body to turn into the tissue cells of that part of the body. Then, these tissue cells would correctly form organs, and there would be no liver tissue growing in the lungs.
These growth results were actually compiled in the DNA sequence. Under the stimulation of different hormones, the stem cells would be induced to make the correct transformation. But this process was not absolute. Otherwise, identical twins would be exactly the same. But in reality, even identical twins would have slight differences. Not to mention abnormal phenomena such as deformities.
This was the randomness and diversity of life, but this was exactly what Finn did not need. She came up with a plan that she thought was the best. What she wanted was to reproduce the plan in its entirety, and not let randomness ruin everything that had been arranged.
So in the beginning, she and the group of Great Priestesses of Life had thought of many ways to control the growth of the embryo, but there was no real insurance. This group of people was so obsessed that they wanted to find a bunch of women and observe their insemination process to give birth, as well as experiment on them!
Those bearded men in white robes were not as merciful as they seemed. In the history of the Mystic Land, only one or two out of ten sorcerers were from the School of Necromancy, and they did not even have the intention to kill. The rest of the sorcerers were all from the School of Life. Their ideals and stubbornness made them cross an uncrossable red line, and then things got out of hand.
The addition of Lin provided them with a different line of thought, and it also stopped them from looking for women or pregnant women. The specifics were based on the Black Tortoise Robe incident, and the suspected divinity created by Authority in the dream.
Since Fen had made a complete plan for the new body, why not just put it in place at once? Why let the cells go through the process of transformation and growth? Just like a programming language, the more transformations there were, the more steps there were, and the more mistakes there would be and the more time wasted.
Such an idea broke the rigid fixed thinking of everyone, and took a big step forward in controllability.
Therefore, amidst this solemn, sorrowful, yet uniquely beautiful draconic music, at the center where several streams of plasma interweaved, living matter was continuously created. Like threads, they intertwined and weaved into tissues, followed by organs.
In the blue and white light, the first thing to take shape was the heart. The beating of the heart was like the beat of a drum, and it attracted the attention of Fen and the other Great Priestesses of Life.
All the previous plans and simulations were about to be put into practice. Everyone was excited. But the part that deviated from the original plan was the speed at which the first organ took shape.
Originally, it was estimated that the embryonic form would be visible to the naked eye in the sixth hour after the ceremony, and that the first organ would be fully formed in about ten to twelve hours. But from the beginning of the ceremony to the appearance and beating of the heart, it had only been about ten minutes.
It was just that the Great Priestesses of Life did not understand. They should be worried about the difference in calculation, but they were happy about the time saved. Because under their monitoring, all the data appeared normal, and they were all standing outside the river formation, they did not notice the big changes in the formation. Or it could be said that they were too focused on the data on the water mirror screen, so their sensitivity to abnormalities decreased.
The Draconic music continued, and the speed at which the heart took shape was not an exception. The subsequent progress was as if they had been injected with chicken blood, each faster than the other. From the looks of it, the method of weaving the body was not only accurate, but also fast.
But as long as someone cooperated with the World Tree, something big would happen. This time, all the high seats were present, so how could everything be completed peacefully?
Not to mention whether the outside world had noticed what was happening here, although Mage Saint Mahathab could not understand what the former Demon King was doing, she at least understood what the changes in the energy pool meant.
The energy pool of the Magic Tower had semi-unlimited power. With such great benefits, there would be corresponding risks. The most common reason for the destruction of a Magic Tower was not the trampling of soldiers, but the loss of control of the energy pool. Therefore, stability could be said to be the most important thing in every energy pool.
Most of the time, no matter how much energy was extracted from the energy pool, it was very difficult to cause a ripple on the surface of the pool. The power that was extracted was only a trace of it from the pool and trickling into the magic array, which was enough to activate the array and display its effects.
But if the energy pool was like pouring, and a large amount of liquefied mercury-like power was extracted from the pool and poured directly into the magic array in the form of a water column, the meaning behind this would make any Tower Master tremble. Because this only meant two things. Either a great enemy had invaded and the Magic Tower attacked with all its might, or the energy pool was going out of control.
At least in her lifetime, Mage Saint Mahathab had never seen such a scene. Whether it was the other Magic Towers or the Third Tower in the Holy City of Estali, whether it was the third, fourth, or fifth floor here, they had never seen such a scene.
If this energy pool was not on the verge of going out of control, would it be drained just like that? Semi-infinite power meant that it still had its limits. If a large amount of power was extracted in a short period of time, it was theoretically possible to drain the energy pool dry. And the reason why it was "theoretically" was because such a thing had never been heard of before.
Blowing up an energy pool was much easier than draining it dry. Then, was this thing that was publicly acknowledged to be impossible going to happen right in front of her eyes?
Fortunately, the Mage Saint's worries did not come true. The consumption and natural recovery of the energy pool were all under someone's control. Someone who was used to reading data had already figured out the details of the energy pool on the third floor of the Third Tower, including its total amount and recovery rate. The power that was being consumed now was far from the level of the pool's natural recovery rate.
Secondly, no matter how fast the reconstruction of Shi Dong's body was, there was still a limit. Because this was not mathematics, where the result was the only thing that mattered. It was as fast as it could be. In the process of creating a body, there was a lot of waiting that could not be avoided. Waiting for the created cells to be activated, waiting for the established tissues to adhere, and waiting for the organs to perform their proper functions.
This was also why under Fen's guidance, there was a situation of redundant computing power. It was not that she did not want to speed up, but that she could not speed up even if she wanted to. Forceful acceleration would only cause problems.
With Fen's guidance and Lin's control of the rhythm, the two of them cooperated and allowed the entire ceremony to proceed smoothly without any obstacles. Just like the classical symphony of the Dragon Language, it was smooth, harmonious, melodious, and pleasing to the ear.
The third movement, Allegro Vivace.
The organs, the brain, the brain stem, and the spine were completed one by one in the solemn second movement. It was not an exaggeration to say that the entire process was meticulously crafted.
But from the third movement onwards, the weak part suddenly became stronger. The characteristics of the scherzo forcefully pushed the progress of the entire ceremony. And in the progress of the reconstruction of Shi Dong's body, the reconstruction of his bones, muscles, and skin would begin here.
These tissues were not like the organs and brain. Each of them had their own functions and irreplaceable positions. Bones, muscles, and skin tissues were the same on a cellular level. It was just that the shapes and positions of the tissues were different.
Since it was the same thing and the demand was high, there was no need to work on a single line. After all, everyone was in a state of slacking. As soon as this thought came to mind, Fen seemed to have a telepathic connection and immediately assigned many tasks to everyone. With the same needs and different body parts, everyone was divided into several small groups to reconstruct different parts of the body at the same time.
In the eyes of the onlookers, the human body was originally composed of organs and organs. In the parts of the bones and flesh, the limbs, the torso, and the head were all growing out at the same time.
When the music reached the final movement, the lightning-fast music suddenly slowed down. After the bass harmonies outlined the framework, there was a series of dazzling changes that reached a small climax. Then, a gentle and calm melody alternated, gradually ushering in a magnificent epic. The music was sometimes soft and sometimes strong, as if it was narrating the magnificent journey of a hero's rise and fall. In the end, it was a dazzling ending.
And in this final movement, the three major systems of circulation, lymph, and nerve were being established. The tissues woven by Authority could be seen entering the body through the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, fingernails, and even the pores on the body. It was endless, as if it was endless.
Just as the last note fell, the complete human body floating in the middle of the River Diagram Formation suddenly opened its eyes! Both eyes looked in different directions at the same time.
