Descent into the Mortal World
"Sir, sir, I... I can show you the way!"
In Zane Byrne's view, there was only one possibility that Luosu, who had no cultivation whatsoever in the past, could actually conjure up a Tenth Ring Spell by hand.
A terrifying being from the Demon Realm has descended; it may be a being of Demon God level!
It is Demon God from the Demon Realm who possessed his body and descended to the Mortal Realm, intending to stir up chaos and overthrow all living beings!
As he watched the remaining seven-ring Magic Seals on his body explode, draining all the elements and Mana within them, Zain Byrne broke out in a cold sweat.
An unknown Demon God will return from the Ethereal and descend upon the Mortal Realm, bringing Calamity to all living beings...
Su Luo took a look at the Magic Seal and felt it was quite valuable.
The highly integrated energy storage structure, the stable architecture of pre-formed Spells, and the power-up mode with external magic energy are the culmination of the wisdom accumulated by countless mages in this world.
If ordinary seventh and eighth-ring Magic Seals are already so exquisite, then the Magic Seals exclusive to top-tier experts above the Tenth Ring must contain even deeper structural logic.
If the strong in this world also frequently use Magic Seals, then the Magic Seals of those stronger than Tenth Rings might provide some supplement to Su Luo's path of Constant Spell.
Collect all the Mana and elements from the Magic Seal that the dean brought over, without wasting a single drop.
Su Luo currently needs more Silk Mana to create a large-scale Spell exceeding the Tenth Ring level, and to observe the form of the Silk Mana under high-energy conditions.
Yun Xiaoxiao's experimental reserve of Mana was far from sufficient; this little bit of food delivered to her door was better than nothing, but it was still meat.
She casually pulled the dean into the Illusion Realm, and while his consciousness was still stuck in his desperate pleas, Su Luo had already extracted his memories and turned them into a puppet.
The memories of local people are the best way for Survivors to understand the world.
"[Demon's Advent Ritual]. Upon successful completion of the Ritual, the cultivator will receive the favor and blessing of the Demon Realm, experiencing a significant increase in Mana Attunement. Mana cultivation, allocation, and control will become effortless. Those who complete the Ritual can directly cross over into the Demon Realm..."
Su Luo took a close look at the Ritual details she needed and then went back to doing her own thing.
"The Dungeon has been running for ten hours, and there are still four hours left. The Ritual can proceed as Ritual, and the location is the Lunshang Base, located 600 kilometers away..."
I calculated the energy consumed by the Heartfire as it devoured the town, as well as the energy I could obtain.
The underlying structure of the Silk Mana has been tampered with, and Su Luo will not incorporate it into her internal Inner Circulation at present.
One is the change in macroscopic nature; overly detailed constructions require time for re-reasoning, and refactoring of more than 24 Attributes will be affected.
Another reason is that Su Luo doesn't want to use other people's Mana, which is no different from taking a bouncing bullet controlled by someone else to the college entrance examination.
However, external fields, large-scale offense and defense, and environmental modifications do not require extreme precision or excessive caution, and can be used freely.
"Then... let's start with a big fire."
Yun Xiaoxiao sighed, hands on her hips, looking as if she hadn't expected it.
Disliking Killing
A wisp of pure black flame quietly Spread out from the experimental building, as agile as a living thing, possessing extreme devouring and destructive Attribute.
Following optimal Corrosion logic, the Black Flames prioritize Lock-On energy cores, magical hubs, and Mana energy storage structures, frantically devouring high-energy resources.
Then, it Spread across the entire Monroe Research Institute, expending energy to burn matter, and everything fell into it.
High-altitude, all-domain reconnaissance outpost.
A staff member on duty, holding a cup of tea, stared idly at the panoramic monitoring screen of the floating island, his fingertips tapping absentmindedly on the table.
The tea in the cup is made from the excrement of a special local monster, and is a leisure drink exclusively for the city-state's high-ranking officials. It has a unique taste, and ordinary people are not fortunate enough to enjoy it.
Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply, and he froze on the spot, rubbing his eyes repeatedly, thinking that the monitoring equipment had malfunctioned.
The once brightly lit and Order Monroe Research Institute area is suddenly plunged into complete darkness at the center of the image.
The black dots expanded rapidly, and countless fine, hair-like black lines Spread wildly, like a black spider web covering the earth.
"What? The light has been swallowed up? How come there's no energy alarm?!"
The on-duty personnel quickly became cautious and immediately reported the emergency to their superiors. At the same time, they mobilized a high-precision aerial observation drone to rush to the incident area for real-time sampling and monitoring.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
A group of city-state emergency response leaders and high-ranking mages quickly assembled, and high-definition panoramic monitoring images were simultaneously projected onto public light screens.
Everyone stared at the scene on the screen, and instantly fell into a deathly silence.
The Dark Domain was profound; everything was swallowed and dissolved by the darkness, leaving no trace.
The Monroe Research Institute has been completely submerged by a black Ocean, as if a tectonic plate has sunk.
Most people looked bewildered, but one of the Eight-Ring Spellweaver glanced at the historical footage and murmured incredulously:
"Eleven-Ring Forbidden Spell? How could such a powerful being appear in [Soren Xingjia]?"
"Quickly, go and invite Her Majesty Adele!!"
"Have you figured out how to enter this [Demon Realm]?"
[Husband Away on Business, Being Someone's Zero] She twirled an ancient and mysterious dark Magic Seal between her fingertips, repeatedly stroking the flowing patterns on the mudra's surface with her fingertips, and turned to look at her teammate beside her.
[Qiao Wenxi] looked at his teammates with a hint of helplessness, and still said:
"I controlled the town's governor, but his answer was still [Demon's Advent Ritual]. Just like the Spiritual Roots granted by the [Qi Awakening Ritual] of the previous era, the access to the [Demon Realm] is a power bestowed by the world."
The Qi of heaven and earth in the previous era was a public resource without an owner, filling the world and omnipresent.
Mortals do not possess the Spiritual Roots bestowed by Heavenly Dao, but as long as they are exceptionally talented, they can absorb and cultivate on their own, making the threshold extremely low and accessible to everyone.
But the present era is completely different. There is no free Mana in the world. All the Mana resources of the entire world have been Sealing and collected into the Demon Realm dimension.
These Survivors, who have undergone a generational transformation and are now rebuilding themselves, would be best off connecting with the Demon Realm and drawing upon its Mana if they wish to break through their current realm and enhance their combat strength.
After all, without access to the [Demon Realm], the source of Mana would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, this world treats the right to enter the [Demon Realm] as Talent, just like the Spiritual Roots of the previous era. If you don't have it, you don't have it, and there are no other alternatives.
"We're from Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons, how could we possibly possess something like this that's inherited through bloodlines... Alright, let's use these things for now."
[My Husband Away on Business, Being Someone's Zero] After thinking about it for a while, I had no choice but to accept this fact.
"It's preventing me from starting! I'm the Vassal one vassal state player, how can I start without a lot of resources?"
"This era should belong to our Mana Side!"
Qiao Wenxi nodded in agreement, and after a while, she asked again:
"Aren't you going to change your name? Everyone can tell it's a fake name right away."
