Fels had been researching resurrection magic for eight hundred years without success. The reason he was able to successfully resurrect Wiene, aside from the protagonist's plot armor, was because her soul was still intact.

Correspondingly, when the people of the lower realm die, their souls are received by the celestial realm, where they undergo a soul-cleansing ritual before being reincarnated into the lower realm.

This is not a simple formatting, but a complete cleanup.

It's like completely eliminating the superfluous parts of a person, including memories and subjective consciousness.

Everything has disappeared; is this person still the same person?

Yes, for the gods.

For Ming Ge, it was undoubtedly a no.

As for the people of the lower realm?

How do the people of the lower realm view this? Is it meaningful?

Moreover, most people in the lower realms wouldn't even be able to contemplate such profound questions.

In any case Ming Ge has no intention of fully integrating into this world, but that's a matter for the future.

If one could obtain such magic stones and use them as targets for perception magic, it might be easier to develop soul perception magic.

These types of magic stones are not difficult to obtain; simply speak to someone from Hera Familia, or purchase a monster from a beast tamer.

"The second type is self-exploration."

By using magic to deeply explore one's own spirit, one can find a breakthrough in the power of the soul.

For Ming Ge, who is capable of introspection and can influence various organs of the body through the Regulation Magic, this method may be the simplest.

"The third type is Sacred Script."

Sacred Script is the script used by the gods, and it possesses power in itself.

The function of Divine Blessing, and the core of God's weapons, are both Sacred Script.

Even the spells used by gods in battle are composed of Sacred Script.

However, using Sacred Script requires divine power, meaning that only gods can use magical spells.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the so-called magic power imitates divine power, while the magical script imitates the functions performed by Sacred Script.

To the gods, everything human is a inferior imitation.

"If one can learn Sacred Script and translate it into Sacred Script, one can assemble rituals related to the soul."

The ritual marks the beginning of Ming Ge's journey and is an indispensable aid on the path of magic.

In fact, there are similar contents in magical writings regarding rituals related to the soul. For example, in the original story about Haruhime, the soul of Haruhime was sealed into the Killing Stone) by using magical rituals and the power of the right time.

However, there isn't much content related to the soul; one needs to learn Sacred Script to recreate and recombine magical script, thereby creating new magical rituals.

These three methods can be performed simultaneously, especially the second and third, which can inspire soul-related abilities through magical rituals.

"I've reached this point too..."

Ming Ge sighed.

When magical research reaches a certain level, it is inevitable that it will involve Sacred Script.

Ming Ge's magical knowledge will inevitably lead to Sacred Script, which is the origin of all magic.

Moreover, the Sacred Script involve Falna, Ming Ge will inevitably become an adventurer in the future, but he has no habit of entrusting his life to others.

"As for Sacred Script... I know it."

Sitting nearby, Meitellia heard Ming Ge mention learning Sacred Script in her mutterings and said, "But I only know some basics. For magic-related stuff, you can go ask your sister."

"Oh, I see... then I'll leave it to you sisters."

Ming Ge snapped out of her daze and smiled.

Ming Ge wasn't surprised by this, because Meitellia loved books.

Because many magical formulas, ancient books, and knowledge are recorded in Sacred Script.

Ming Ge estimated that the script in the lower realm was also brought down by the gods, and later evolved into the common script of the mainland, which was also a natural development from traditional characters to simplified characters.

Compared to the common language of the mainland, the Sacred Script is more difficult to learn, as each character has a corresponding magical meaning.

In the original work, the Sacred Script is Japanese written backwards, but this is a real world, naturally unrelated to Earth's writing system.

Leave it to me.

Meitellia confidently clenched her little fist.

In fact, Ming Ge wasn't completely ignorant of Sacred Script; he had already learned the basics, so there was little that Meitellia could help with.

Ultimately, we still need Professor Alfia, after all, she is a professional mage.

"Speaking of which, you don't even know Sacred Script?"

Alfia overheard their conversation and slowly descended the stairs, saying, "Your progress is too rapid; this is truly rare for a professional mage and magician."

Alfia and Meitellia have a room in Hera's villa, a double room, which is usually reserved for cadres and their support staff.

In addition, the two sisters also have a separate yard outside the villa.

Because it was inconvenient for Ming Ge to live in the villa, all three of them stayed outside.

"Can I ask you for a favor?"

Ming Ge smiled and asked.

"Well, I do owe you a favor after all."

Alfia said calmly.

"Sister, really, you shouldn't say things like that to your own family."

Unaware of what was happening, Meitellia complained, "I really want my sister and Ming Ge to get along well and stay together forever."

"Meitellia ..." Alfia's gaze softened slightly, but upon seeing Ming Ge, she gave a soft snort and said, "Forget about you, I don't want to be with this guy forever."

Alfia deliberately brought up personal relationships, seemingly indifferent but actually maintaining a deliberate distance.

Despite her relationship with Meitellia, Ming Ge was indeed the first man to enter her life.
