Resurrection Arcana!

Saine knew the value of Pantera World. Clearly, the other Wizard Civilization powerhouses knew it as well.

Giving up such a treasured land was indeed a pain that ordinary people could scarcely bear.

But there was truly no other choice.

Moreover, to prevent it from aiding the enemy, when Saine and the others withdrew from Pantera World, they would most likely find a way to destroy this world.

Pantera World's Earth Core was incomparably sturdy. Even now, the Galente Federation's professional demolition teams had not assured Saine that they could find a suitable blasting point.

Furthermore, Saine and the other Wizard Civilization powerhouses could not go too far at this stage. Before the Evil Tide's next crisis arrived, he had no desire to first engage in a fierce battle with Aitokan and the other Pantera World native beings.

Everything had to be carried out in secret.

Just as Saine was preparing for the next Evil Tide war and had made preparations to withdraw should the war become unavoidable,

An order from the Wizard Civilization Combat Command suddenly appeared before Saine.

That day, Saine was conducting experimental tests in the towering structure he had established at the center of Pantera World.

Even in the wake of a brutal war that had only just ended, Saine still found the time to conduct experiments and turn his thoughts toward the path of Truth Arcana.

It could only be said that Saine never let slip even the smallest scrap of free time.

The path of Truth Exploration was carved out, second by second, from the gaps between wars by True Spirit Magicians like Saine.

The primary subject of Saine's experiments was the Kajared Gem he had excavated from Pantera World.

Unlike other Kajared Gems that possessed "resurrection" effects and were generally only the size of a fist,

The one placed before Saine in the laboratory was an astonishing 7.8 meters in diameter.

This was the largest Kajared Gem excavated from the depths at the heart of Pantera World by Wizard Civilization professional survey teams in the past several centuries! Its purity was terrifyingly high as well!

Even Aitokan, Pantera World's native Dominator, had been stunned upon first seeing a Kajared Gem of this scale.

The largest Kajared Gem currently stored by his clan was still around two meters smaller in diameter than Saine's.

Pantera World's history had, however, recorded the discovery of gems larger than Saine's, reaching ten meters in diameter.

But gems of that kind had long since been used up by the beings of Pantera World.

And the "Mystery of Resurrection" possessed by this world truly existed.

After the first battle of the Pantera Star Territory had just concluded, Saine personally watched a Level Five Pantera World being whose body had already died get sent to the Pantera World Grand Priest, then undergo resurrection through the effects of a Kajared Gem!

This scene, along with the Resurrection Arcana contained behind it, shocked True Spirit Magicians of the Wizard Civilization like Saine more deeply than killing two Evil Tide Dominators!

The moment the high-level secret meeting ended, Saine could not wait to return to his tower laboratory, precisely so he could unravel the mysteries within as quickly as possible.

Amid the lush primeval forest of central Pantera World stood a Magic Tower over a thousand meters tall, an obviously incongruous sight.

Wizard Civilization architectural styles were extremely incompatible with Pantera World.

It was said that Aitokan, Nettini, and the other native Pantera World powerhouses all lived inside tree hollows... They seemed even closer to nature than the elves.

Dazzling blue-white light continually flickered and wandered through Saine's Magic Tower.

Although Saine had set up numerous concealment and shielding magic arrays around his Magic Tower, when he activated the enormous Kajared Gem before him, the surging soul power still caused the surrounding forest trees to bow low.

Countless Homeland Beings fled tens of thousands of miles from Saine's tower out of instinctive terror and fear.

Soul power! That was the core reason Kajared Gems could achieve resurrection!

Why did Saine say that those beings resurrected by the Pantera World Grand Priest had merely suffered "bodily death"? The reason lay here.

In truth, after the beings resurrected by the Pantera Grand Priest using Kajared Gems died, a wisp of their remnant soul still remained.

Such remnant souls were extremely common on Civilization Battlefields.

In the Wizard World, even Rank One Undead Element magicians could specifically collect souls from battlefields and graveyards. Subjects such as ghosts, Primordial Spirits, spirit bodies, souls, and the like were not rare or unusual fields within Wizard Civilization.

Yet all along, how to restore such remnant souls to a biological body and make its cells regain vitality had remained a problem Wizard Civilization found difficult to overcome.

Based on everything Saine had seen and heard during his time on Pantera World, he believed that the core elements enabling the Pantera Grand Priest to resurrect Pantera beings were nothing more than five: the native bloodlines of Pantera World beings, Kajared Gems, Pantera World's divine tree, the complex divine patterns beneath the divine tree, and the Grand Priest herself.

Every one of these five elements was a difficult problem that Wizard Civilization powerhouses like Saine needed to overcome with all their strength.

Why could only native Pantera World beings accomplish the magnificent feat of resurrection? Saine guessed that, through their development and evolution over countless years, this world's native beings had resonated with certain rules of this Large Plane, or perhaps contained certain trace factors within their bodies.

The reason Kajared Gems could only resurrect Pantera World beings, yet could not resurrect species from other planes in the Star Realm, was precisely the existence of these special rules or trace factors.

However, when Saine used the soul of another creature in place of a Pantera World being's remnant soul, then used the corpse of a dead Pantera World being as the medium, what happened next was—this fellow, whose essence was the soul of an Alien Creature but whose shell was that of a Pantera World being, also accomplished the great feat of resurrection under the effects of the Grand Priest, the divine tree, the Kajared Gem, and other factors!

Although the newly resurrected being was in less than one-third of its state before death, with even its soul weakened to the extreme, this fellow had undeniably completed the process of From Death to Life.

While conducting this experimental subject of "rebirth" and "resurrection," Saine had also summoned Rose and the Tenth Pharaoh King to assist him.

Rose herself was a Main God who wielded darkness and soul power.

The Tenth Pharaoh King came from the Top-Level Civilization Minghe Empire. Presumably, she had seen more death and soul-body arcana than True Spirit Magicians of Wizard Civilization such as Saine.

Yet even the well-traveled Tenth Pharaoh King, an eighth-rank existence, was stunned when she saw someone possessing the soul of an alien species achieve resurrection through the body of a Pantera World being!

The Minghe Empire had never mastered arcana resembling resurrection. Perhaps this was because Undead Creatures of a death-type Top-Level Civilization generally did not fear death, so why would they pursue eternal life or resurrection?

However, it was the Tenth Pharaoh King herself who had helped Saine transfer and extract the alien creature's soul.

Seeing the scene before her, the Tenth Pharaoh King could not help sighing. "Although our Minghe Empire has no interest in the arcana of 'resurrection,' considering its value and the role it can play during civilization wars..."

"If our Minghe Empire had discovered first that such a special Large Plane as Pantera World existed in this vast starry sky, and that they possessed such an ability,"

"Then while the First Pharaoh King was still in the Star Realm, he would likely have temporarily set aside the war with the Light Dimension Country and instead pushed for the conquest of this place," the Tenth Pharaoh King sighed.

The Tenth Pharaoh King's sigh was clearly hindsight.

The technology the Minghe Empire could not obtain was now practically about to fall into Wizard Civilization's pocket.
