"These are ancient Divine Runewords, used to deduce... deduce..."
Uncle Cain's mouth dropped open, his goatee twitched and swayed, his lips trembled, and he was so excited that he could barely speak.
"They're working out a manipulation technique... This is... the manipulation technique of [ Sky City ]? What else? No, it's too fast, I can't see it clearly, I need to write it down quickly!"
Sister Alaka took out a large Diwei Crystal from her storage ring and began to record the Divine Runewords flashing in the sky by channeling a wisp of Magic Power into it. However, she quickly gave up, sighing, "The mysteries of the Divine Runewords are indeed incredibly complex. Ordinary Diwei Crystal simply cannot imprint them. It seems I can only rely on my memory!"
The two magic research fanatics stared wide-eyed at the strange phenomenon before them.
Sun Fei, however, remained silent throughout, focusing solely on memorizing the Divine Runewords.
He obtained one of the three great divine skills, the [Learning] skill. Not only did his comprehension and learning ability greatly increase, but he also gained a photographic memory. The illusions generated by the constantly rotating nine-layered God and Demon Altar in front of him were vast and complex, like a boundless ocean. However, Sun Fei did not seek to understand them deeply; he simply memorized them by rote and recorded them in his mind without any errors.
The nun and Cain were far inferior.
Both of them were quite old. Although they had plenty of energy due to their practice of magic, they still felt dizzy and lightheaded after staring at these animated images for a long time. They quickly gave up and could only watch Sun Fei helplessly, not daring to disturb him for fear that Sun Fei might misremember even half a symbol.
The whole process lasted for two or three hours.
The nine- God and Demon Altar continued to rotate at various frequencies, speeds, and rhythms. Countless silver runes, as if alive, flew out from each tier of the altar, moving through the air and constantly combining in a mysterious order to form ancient words and patterns with different meanings.
The process was incredibly fast, like watching a movie.
The crimson Hell power permeating the entire mountain's interior was absorbed bit by bit into the wildly spinning God and Demon Altar, like a sponge absorbing water. As time passed rapidly, the crimson power permeating the air grew weaker and weaker.
The Worldstone, placed atop the altar, was slowly Cleansing. Its crimson flames gradually faded, revealing its original azure blue color from its upper edge—a dreamlike hue reminiscent of a vast ocean that had given birth to countless lives.
Sun Fei noticed that during this process, the size of the [ Worldstone ] was gradually decreasing. Although this change was extremely subtle, it was real.
This indicates that the operation of the God and Demon Altar actually consumes a tremendous amount of energy.
More than an hour later, when Sun Fei finally felt dizzy and his head was about to explode, as if his brain had been filled with countless unfamiliar pieces of information, the roaring sound in his ears gradually subsided.
The rotation speed of the nine-tiered God and Demon Altar gradually slowed down.
The silver Divine Runes that had been floating in the air, like birds returning to their nests, flickered a few times and then returned to merge into the gradually quieting altar stones, disappearing without a trace. At the same time, the mysterious ancient characters and patterns also vanished into the air, no longer existing.
The temperature inside the mountain was stiflingly high.
This is due to the high temperature generated by the friction when the stone disc of the nine-tiered God and Demon Altar rotates.
The God and Demon Stone Pillar that had always stood atop the God and Demon Altar seemed to have absorbed a significant amount of new energy and undergone changes during this Cleansing process.
Although its size remained unchanged, much of the surface rock layer had peeled away, revealing several smooth, brand-new surfaces underneath. These surfaces were like warm, smooth white jade, without any patterns or designs, extremely smooth, and faintly radiated a strange, warm glow, emitting waves of spiritual fluctuations that only Sun Fei could sense.
After the God and Demon Altar completely ceased functioning, a flash of silver light appeared, and the mysterious stone pillar instantly shrank rapidly until it was only the size of an arm. It transformed into a beam of silver light and entered Sun Fei's body, then completely disappeared and fell into a deep sleep.
"Hmm? The [ Worldstone ] wasn't completely Cleansing; it's only recovered about one-tenth of its original state..."
Once again left bewildered by the mysterious stone pillar, Sun Fei suddenly noticed that the Nightmare Difficulty [ Worldstone ] at the top of the altar had not been completely Cleansing. Only about one-tenth of it had fully recovered its magnificent sky-blue color, while the remaining nine-tenths were still shrouded in an evil, suffocating bloody light.
"That's not surprising. This [ Worldstone ] is hundreds of times larger than the previous one. The previous one could be Cleansing in one go, but this one is very difficult to Cleansing in one go. This process will require multiple attempts to completely Cleansing!"
As expected of a living fossil and encyclopedia of the Diablo World, Cain quickly explained the reason.
He thought for a moment, then added, "However, the Cleansing portion can already provide pure energy. The coexistence of light and evil energies within the [ Worldstone ], without interfering with each other, is truly rare. Perhaps a [ Worldstone ] possessing two completely different energies is the most powerful and terrifying!"
"Hmm, it seems the God and Demon Altar will need a certain rest period before it can be activated again. This is the only way for now..." The nun nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly remembered something and became excited. She grabbed Sun Fei's sleeve and shouted, "Quick, quick, recite and write down all the Divine Runewords and ancient characters you've memorized! Don't try to cheat. I know you've memorized them all! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Yeah, you little rascal, you've been running away from us every time you see us lately. This time, you're not allowed to escape. If you don't show yourself, we'll... we'll..." Old Man Cain also went into a frenzy. After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with a way to threaten Sun Fei, and said smugly, "We'll go on strike, hehe!"
Sun Fei laughed heartily at the two madmen's impatient expressions.
Without any hesitation, the three returned to the God King Hall. Sun Fei selected less than one percent of the information he had memorized and sketched it on paper. About an hour had passed, and he had drawn over a hundred sketches.
Setting his brush aside, Sun Fei said, "The information contained and deduced in those Divine Runewords is truly immense, impossible to depict in one go. These hundred manuscripts will be enough for you to study for a month or two. Once you have fully understood them, I will draw them for you!"
The nun and Uncle Cain knew that Sun Fei was telling the truth, so they could only nod and let it go.
Holding over a hundred manuscript pages, the two of them, like greedy children holding a delicious cake, happily stepped into the Teleport and returned to their laboratory, which had been transformed from a mysterious stone chamber.
At this moment, Sun Fei's face broke into an extremely joyful smile.
Just now, he suddenly discovered the biggest secret of [ Sky City ].
First update.
I highly recommend a fantastic novel, "The Immortal Cultivation Journey of the Romantic Evil Lord," which can be found by searching on your mobile phone.
