The Peerless Tang Sect: Heavenly Heart Douluo
Chapter 244 The year has arrived, rising from the ground
With the rise of magic, the original six temples have been reorganized and divided into two organizations: the Temple of Mages and the Temple of Warriors. The Temple Federation has also been renamed the Magic Federation.
Of course, due to the existence of the universe, the status of mages is significantly higher than that of martial artists, which is only natural.
The Temple of the Mages includes the original mages, summoners, and priests.
The Temple of Warriors encompasses assassins, warriors, and knights.
As for why this was done, it's because the Temple originally divided professions into six systems in order to mass-produce and cultivate low- to mid-level combat power as quickly as possible.
The current world situation no longer needs these quickly trained but one-dimensional professionals.
Whether you are a magician or a martial artist, you need to cultivate multiple systems at the same time in order to improve yourself, minimize your weaknesses, and steadily improve your realm.
For this reason, the original rating standards have been revised.
Spiritual power is currently only the most basic standard; apart from meeting the spiritual power standard, there is no other requirement.
Mental strength, physical fitness, the number of abilities mastered, and the enhancement of equipment have all been incorporated into the new combat strength assessment standards of the Magic Federation.
Within the Magic Federation, everyone's status and position are directly linked to their final ranking.
Different levels of rank can enjoy different resources and knowledge from the Magic Federation, ultimately resulting in a pyramid-shaped social structure.
The resources of lower-level professionals are used to support mid-level professionals, and the resources of mid-level professionals are used to support higher-level professionals.
To escape the predicament of being at the bottom of society, one must be able to do what ordinary people cannot, or it may take a long time to accumulate experience.
Such a social structure is undoubtedly flawed, but Yu Kong doesn't care, because that's exactly what he needs.
At the very top of the pyramid in the Magic Federation are the ninth-tier powerhouses: those of the magician class are called Magic Gods, while those of the martial artist class are called Martial Gods.
Unlike ordinary strong individuals, they enjoy social resources and privileged status in addition to what they should.
These powerful individuals also received an unprecedented and enormous benefit, which drove the entire Magic Federation into a frenzy.
That is, after Electrox joined the Magic Federation, the Supreme Archmage declared necromancy legal, but the practice of necromancy must be registered within the Magic Federation.
It can only be used and cultivated in small worlds or other worlds that the Magic Federation has explored and controlled.
Those who break the law will be hunted down by an enforcement committee composed of the top experts in the entire Magic Federation. This group of experts, whose levels have been redefined, are at least at the seventh rank.
If they were to be hunted down by them, and even encounter powerful magic gods who might pursue them, this would undoubtedly greatly deter those lawless individuals, at least making them dare not openly break the rules.
With the tower spirit's monitoring, everything was governed by order, and the benefits that those magic god-level powerhouses received were related to this, namely reincarnation.
Those ninth-tier powerhouses who die of old age or in accidents need to have intact souls if they are mages, and intact physical bodies if they are martial artists.
Based on this, they can use a reincarnation ritual to transform their old or dead soul and body into undead creatures, thus transforming them into a completely new life form.
This was originally the ritual for creating liches and undead warriors, but it has been greatly improved by Electrolux and combined with the data on undead creatures provided by Huo Yuhao.
Those who are reborn through this method not only retain the maximum amount of power they had in life.
They can also maintain the ability to continuously accumulate and improve themselves, just as they did when they were alive.
Even their physical sensations and emotions will no longer be affected by the instincts of undead creatures, thus affecting their inherent personality.
The only thing affected is their fertility. Undead creatures no longer reproduce through physical means, but through the contagion of their souls.
However, this method has both advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that the resources consumed are astronomical, so the Magic Federation can only afford to open it to ninth-tier powerhouses.
Moreover, the lifespan of undead creatures is different from that of mortals. Even if a ninth-tier expert is powerful and uses various means to prolong their lifespan, it is difficult for them to survive for thousands of years, even if they consume a huge amount of resources.
However, the fact that undead creatures can exist for thousands or even tens of thousands of years is particularly exciting for those aging mages.
After all, they had just seen the dawn of a new era, but before they could even experience it, they had to leave this world. How torturous that must have been.
However, to avoid causing chaos, these reborn undead powerhouses cannot move freely in the Holy Demon Continent; their activity areas have been separately designated by the Magic Federation.
In the Holy Demon Continent and the Magic Federation, after the Supreme God of Magic integrated the entire Holy Temple Federation, a magnificent tower was erected in the northwest of the continent with the addition of an unparalleled powerhouse.
This is the birthplace of Electrolux, the site of the city of Sidi in the Pompo Empire.
But now everything has changed beyond recognition, and the mage's tower stands here, which also carries the meaning of reminiscing about the past.
This place is also known as the second capital of the Magic Federation.
Countless mages who want to study necromancy, or professionals whose lifespan is coming to an end, want to try their luck here.
Although the master of this tower, His Holiness the Holy Spirit, was previously unknown and no one knew his past, he was the second strongest being after the Supreme God of Law.
His fiefdom, the mage tower known as the Holy Spirit Tower, is also an area that houses ninth-tier powerhouses who have been reincarnated as undead creatures.
Even though it would be extremely difficult for outsiders to catch a glimpse of the Tower Master himself, with so many ninth-tier experts, even a stroke of luck in gaining the favor of just one of them would be an incredible opportunity to rise to the top in one step.
The owner of this Holy Spirit Tower, the Holy Spirit God, was naturally Elex, who had gone into hiding.
As for why this was done, it's because Electrolux itself is related to some other causes and effects. Although it's been concealed quite superficially, it's necessary to do this in order not to affect the general direction of the future.
The Holy Spirit Tower in Elex also consumed a lot of resources from the Magic Federation, but with those tireless undead creatures as helpers, plus the fact that they had previously built the Tower of Eternity, and with the excellent Mage Tower in Yu Kong as a precedent.
Therefore, the construction of this magnificent and towering Holy Spirit Tower was completed extremely quickly.
From the outside, the Holy Spirit Tower occupies a vast area, roughly the size of a city.
Its internal space is even more vast and boundless. It has been expanded and reinforced by multiple spatial magic spells. With knowledge from the universe and Huo Yuhao's previous experience in expanding the undead demiplane, it is naturally easy for it to do this.
The actual internal space of the Holy Spirit Tower today is no less than that of the undead demiplane that Electrolux once controlled.
Unlike the simple ecological structure of the undead demiplane, the Holy Spirit Tower, which relies on the prime plane, has abundant internal resources and is further planned using spatial magic.
Each floor has a unique and distinctive function.
The first level is used to accommodate outsiders. It is the same size as a typical city, and it is equipped with all kinds of infrastructure and staff. However, the staff are replaced by real-life undead creatures.
The second layer of space belongs to those ninth-tier powerhouses who have been reborn or are preparing to be reborn. The energy and spiritual energy content here, coordinated by the spatial array, far exceeds that of ordinary areas, making it quite useful even for ninth-tier powerhouses.
The third layer is a transitional space, used to utilize the residual energy from the vast spiritual energy emanating from the lower layer to cultivate herbs, crystallize stones, and nurture magical beasts, thus facilitating the biological cycle.
The fourth level is Elex's testing ground, used to experiment with various high-level magic and undead creations.
The fifth level is a spell warehouse, where countless spell structures are constructed but whose forms have been stabilized. With just a will from the tower master, these spells can be activated through spatial magic.
It descends upon the tower or within a certain range outside the tower, and then activates it to punish outsiders or rule-breakers.
The sixth level is an energy pool that stores the energy absorbed by the mage tower and is used to maintain the energy cycle of the entire mage tower.
The seventh level is Electrox's knowledge base, storing all his magic, while the tower spirits constantly innovate and create new magic based on these existing spells.
The eighth level is where Elex lives, and it also houses the most important component of the entire mage tower: the tower spirit.
This Tower Spirit was created by Electrox through necromancy, splitting off from his own soul, unlike Tower Spirit No. 1 in the universe, which operates and calculates through a mechanical structure.
The downside is that its computing power is inferior to that of Taling One, but the advantage is that its thinking mode is more in line with Electrolux itself.
It can also interface with Taling-1 to transfer computing power, exchange knowledge, and share resources.
And so, under the leadership of the two great mage towers, which were also the two supreme mages, the Magic Federation developed rapidly and flourished.
The living reside in the holy city, the dead in the Holy Spirit; neither interferes with the other, and all is in perfect order.
As for why Yu Kong and Electrolux did this, one reason was preparation.
As the powerful individuals who have completed their studies go to various places on the Holy Demon Continent to take up their posts, or as powerful individuals from various places return to the Holy City and Holy Spirit, the computing power from the Tower Spirit carried by these powerful individuals will form a series of intricate networks.
It enveloped the entire continent.
Subtly, if powerful figures like Yu Kong and Electrolux were to observe the current state of the Holy Demon Continent from the perspective of the entire continent, they would discover this.
A massive, complex, and indescribable array has been spread across the entire Holy Demon Continent, waiting only for a catalyst to activate it.
If powerful individuals in the Magic Federation wish to learn stronger magic and advanced techniques, they must rely on the assistance of tower spirits. However, powerful individuals below the ninth rank are not qualified to create their own tower spirits.
We must rely on the oldest and most powerful first Tower Spirit, Tower Spirit Number One.
Their computing power will naturally be absorbed and decomposed by Tower Spirit One. Even if they become ninth-order and create their own Tower Spirit, they will not be able to surpass Tower Spirit One.
Only in this way can Yu Kong truly grasp all the initiative and firmly hold them in his own hands.
The existence of undead creatures completes the loop, giving the powerful undead creatures more time to not rush into researching tower spirits or delving into the most basic, underlying magical logic.
What they need to do is gradually increase their authority through the magic network, create their own unique new magic or technology, and eventually become a ninth-tier powerhouse.
After that, once they are reborn as undead creatures, they will have plenty of time to re-study and implement the structural analysis of basic magic.
Secondly, it involves continuously enriching the underlying logic of spell structures in order to make further breakthroughs based on the eleventh-order divine prohibition.
After all, although the power of the eleventh-order divine restriction is enough to destroy the entire world, it is nothing more than scratching an itch when facing a creator god-level powerhouse.
Even if we successfully capture Austin Griffin, it will take a long time to analyze the source power within him, so it would be even better if we could go further before that.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Nine hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, and Yu Kong still hadn't taken the next step toward twelfth-order magic.
"Nine hundred years have passed, and now all the preparations are complete." On the eighth floor of the Holy Spirit Tower, Electrox spoke to the tower spirit before him.
Time flies, and as Yu Kong's plan unfolds, the reincarnation of Austin Griffin is about to begin, which also means that Yu Kong's plan, which has taken a thousand years to prepare, is about to start.
A voice from Yu Kong echoed from within the tower spirit: "Yes, everything is ready. That time, that place, see you there."
"Well, see you there." Electrox sighed; everything was finally about to begin.
Although over the years, after completing all preparations, Yu Kong and Electrolux transferred a large number of beings from the Holy Demon Continent to another world, in order to maintain the existence of the formation, 70% of the beings on the entire Holy Demon Continent were left behind.
With the battle of the ultimate powerhouses and the destruction of Austin Griffin, how many of these 70% of beings will ultimately survive the battle?
Without further hesitation, Electrolux said, "Holy Spirit, initiate the flight procedure and execute Project Zero."
"Yes, flight procedures are initiating, destination has been calibrated."
The enormous Holy Spirit Tower rose from the ground, and the entire city floated in the air, defying gravity, before rapidly advancing in a certain direction.
Meanwhile, within the Holy City, the mage tower, which had been expanded by Yu Kong to encompass the entire city, also began its operations.
The entire city rose from the ground, like a floating city, and together with the Holy Spirit Tower, it headed towards their destination. (End of Chapter)
