I'll Carry You

In the depths of the Department of Lore, a door slowly opened, and Brishisan brought Li Mo inside.

It was a large underground hall filled with all sorts of shelves. If an ordinary person saw it, they would definitely think it was just a regular warehouse.

But there were stone gargoyles, the serpent heads of Phantasmal Species, and even a dark, beating heart in a corner next to Li Mo. How could this possibly be an ordinary warehouse?

Li Mo stopped. Even with Brishisan by his side, this place still felt very dangerous to him.

Brishisan turned around and saw Li Mo still standing at the entrance. The corners of his mouth curved upwards, forming a handsome arc. "Let's go. This place will be yours in the future, what's there to be afraid of?"

Right... that made sense.

Alright, Li Mo followed Brishisan and slowly walked into the warehouse.

However, with the Incineration of Humanity set to begin in just over twenty years, it wasn't even certain if he would live to see the day he took over!

Li Mo smiled, brushing aside the jumbled thoughts in his mind, and turned his curious gaze to the items displayed on the shelves.

As they walked, Brishisan explained, "See this meter-high red crystal? This is the heart crystal of a Fallen Dragon from beneath the Clock Tower, found by the third Monarch of our Department of Lore!"

"See this stone? It's said to be a crystal used by the primordial Time Goddess of the Chaos Pantheon to observe the world!"

"See this clump of black mud? It wasn't originally black mud, but the leftover core of an apple, said to be from when Adam and Eve ate it..."

Silence. Li Mo fell silent, his gaze even starting to unfocus.

What the hell was he talking about? The first crystal was fine, but after that?

A stone? Black mud? Or that withered lotus next to it?

So all the money the Clock Tower allocated each year was spent on this place?

Wait... a lotus?

After all, in myths, lotuses were never ordinary plants. For example, there was the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of the one in Western Buddhism, or the Lotus of Creation of the Egyptian god Ra.

A thought stirred within Li Mo, and an indescribable feeling surged through him. His pupils dilated, and all his attention seemed to focus on this withered lotus.

If I had to say, this item has a connection with me?

Brishisan seemed to sense something and looked back at the entranced Li Mo, not intending to disturb him.

After a long while, Li Mo finally came back to his senses and withdrew his gaze. "Teacher Brishisan, what's the origin of this lotus?"

"I don't know," Brishisan replied, shaking his head. "This lotus was passed down by our ancestor's disciple, Solomon. They didn't mention its origin at the time, and our Department of Lore has no record of it."

Don't know?

Li Mo shook his head and stared at the lotus again, as if a voice in his heart was urging him on, making him unable to resist reaching out towards the shelf.

"Teacher, can I take it?" Li Mo murmured, his remaining rationality forcing him to ask the question.

"Sure, it was meant for you... uh," Before he could finish speaking, Li Mo had already rushed forward and taken the lotus in his hand.

Brishisan was stunned. Why was this kid acting like a lunatic?

Weren't all these things going to be his eventually?

However, Li Mo couldn't care about anything else. Unaware of Brishisan's thoughts, the moment he touched the lotus, his entire mind was transported to another world. In the underground hall, only the sound of his and Brishisan's breathing remained.

"Where is this?" In an unknown world, Li Mo looked around, then questioned in his mind.

This place seemed to be at night, and the stars in the sky were exceptionally bright, as if Li Mo could reach out and grab them.

No, not as if!

Li Mo looked down and was stunned. This was the starry sky!

And beneath his feet was a truly blazing sun!

"Is this the world contained within that lotus?" Li Mo muttered to himself, standing on the sun and regaining his composure.

It seemed that no matter where it was, a lotus was never a simple plant.

"Hiss," a strange cry, as Li Mo pinched himself on the waist.

It hurt!

Li Mo's face was filled with excitement. This wasn't an illusion; it was truly a world!

He just didn't know why it appeared on the sun, and why he wasn't being burned.

Suddenly, Li Mo noticed that a blue gas, like light, was constantly emitting from his body. The gas slowly drifted and then disappeared into the sun, vanishing gradually.

Disappearing, and disappearing, and disappearing again... then, "Ah! Give it back to me!"

Another strange cry. Li Mo, like a lunatic, frantically reached out with both hands towards the gas, as if trying to pull it back into his body.

He finally realized it. This was the magic power he had accumulated for three whole months!

"Isn't this damn place just a trap?"

After a long while, Li Mo gave up.

He had tried every method he could think of, but his magic power didn't stay in his body at all. Feeling the emptiness within him, Li Mo was on the verge of tears.

Helpless and exasperated, Li Mo sat down on the sun, puffed out his cheeks, and sulked to himself.

Go wherever you want, the old ones go, the new ones come, I can't do anything anyway!

"I don't believe there's nothing in this place!" Gritting his teeth, Li Mo looked around, wanting to find some compensation for his losses.

Then Li Mo despaired.

What else could you expect from the sun, a golden legend? And the surroundings were all starry sky, not even air in sight...

I'll beat (w) you (d) all (n) up (m)!

Li Mo felt an extraordinary anger. If there were a mirror in front of him, he felt his face would be flushed red with anger!

Why is there nothing! Why am I on the sun! Why is there nothing on the sun!

And isn't the sun gaseous? How can I stand on it!

"Hey! Is anyone there!"

No one answered.

Li Mo helplessly spread himself out and lay down on the sun.

No...

Suddenly, Li Mo's expression changed.

It seemed that a force was seeping into his body, bit by bit, from where he touched the sun beneath him.

This force was not the magic he had accumulated before, but it was very similar to magic, and he could control it one hundred percent.

Light, warmth, power, this was the feeling this force gave him.

Slowly, Li Mo's expression changed from a mournful look to confusion, then from confusion to surprise, and then gradually became twisted...

This force felt like magic was not even on the same level as it, it was powerful and refined!

Most importantly, it was still drilling into his body!

Feeling the strength gradually filling him, Li Mo's face became unrestrained. His initial complaints were long gone, replaced by pure enjoyment.

Come on, continue, let this power come more!

Gentlemen, I crave (crossed out) power!

But, would things really go as Li Mo wished?

It seemed not long after, Li Mo's brow suddenly furrowed, realizing that things were not as simple as they seemed.

His body was almost full, but why hadn't this force stopped?

Imagine a balloon being inflated, then inflated again, then inflated again, and then...

"Hiss," Li Mo swallowed, would he really explode from being filled with power?

So, what should we do in this situation?

Analyze the cause, repeatedly prove, and reach a conclusion!

The above three steps took Li Mo only three seconds.

The transmission of this power relied on his contact with the sun, didn't it?

Then he stood up!

Then he cried...

He couldn't fly, and this force was still drilling into him from the soles of his feet...

"Heaven wants to destroy me! Heaven envies my talent!" Li Mo shouted heartbrokenly.

"No, there must be a way!" Li Mo muttered to himself, feeling he couldn't just wait for death.

Power, what is the essence of power? What is the essence of the human body storing power?

Magic Circuits! Yes, ordinary magi have few Magic Circuits, so their bodies store little magic. I have 108 Magic Circuits, which is why I can have so much magic!

And most of the Magic Circuits in the bodies of magi are located in only one part of the body, meaning that a small part of the human body can contain many Magic Circuits.

"But I'm different. My Magic Circuits are all over my body, and they are very dispersed, fundamentally different from other magi!"

After pondering for a long time, just as the power from his feet was about to make him explode, Li Mo finally thought of a way!

A world-shattering method!

Since the Magic Circuits in my body correspond to the 108 meridians, why can't I try to open up those finer meridians to serve as Magic Circuits?

This is a noble idea!

This is a noble person!

Because he had turned the Type-Moon World, which played with magecraft, into his own Eastern cultivation!

If we were to use modern popular language, we would only have one sentence: awesome!

If it were in ancient times, it would probably be ten thousand people kneeling, shouting: Saint!

"If I die, I die," Li Mo gritted his teeth and began to control the power within him to drill into areas outside his Magic Circuits.

If a person doesn't try, they won't know how desperate they are! (crossed out)

Eighteen years later, he'll be a good man again! (crossed out)

When a person dies, birds fly towards the sky; if they don't die, they will live for ten thousand years! (crossed out)

Bet it all, and a bicycle can turn into a motorcycle!

Yes, that's it!
