My health recovery is incredibly fast.

Xia Zuo silently prayed for a few seconds, then asked, "Crestor, if the Black Flag didn't make any mistakes after entering the temple, would the Blade of Judgment still be able to identify it?"

Kristor shook her head slightly. "Yes, Shazo. This is related to the decomposition of the Otherworldly Demons. When a Blood Demon advances to a high-level Blood Demon, thirteen Blood Demons need to be brought together. Not only will their strength be integrated, but their personalities, thoughts, memories, habits, and so on will also be integrated, just like a mental patient with thirteen split personalities."

“Most Otherworldly beings advance through this process. Within a high-ranking Otherworldly being, there will be a powerful primary Otherworldly being. This primary being will become the ruler of the other 12 Otherworldly beings, ultimately completely fusing them together to achieve a perfect state of 13 into 1, where 1 is 13.” Christor said, holding up one finger.

"Black Flag is both the name of a high-ranking alien demon and the name of the original alien demon within this alien demon's body. For the original alien demon Black Flag, during the decomposition process, it can choose to extract the abilities, personalities, memories, and thoughts of all other alien demons within its body, but it must never give up its own."

"Because when memory, thinking, habits, and personality are all present, the black flag is truly the black flag; if any one of them is missing, it is no longer the black flag."

Xia Zuo nodded thoughtfully. "So the Judgement Thorns will judge whether a person is a Black Flag based on their memories or other abstract personal characteristics, right?"

“Yes.” Christo nodded slightly. “However, I think that Black Flag, being an extremely treacherous Otherworldly being, should have taken the Blasting Thorn into account, and it is very likely that it has made preparations in advance.”

"Oh? How so?" Xia Zuo became interested.

Christo said uncertainly, "Well... if Black Flag distributes its memories and other things to the other demons in its body during the decomposition process, and temporarily abandons everything from the past, it can still escape the judgment of the Thorns of Sin."

"Temporarily... abandon everything from the past..." Xia Zuo pondered, "Not leaving even the slightest memory?"

“No, that’s not absolute,” Christo said. “If the memories retained do not violate the Temple’s laws or regulations, then Black Flag can bring these memories into the Temple. The only thing to be wary of is having his memories read.”

Xia Zuo quietly took a deep breath... feeling inexplicably irritated.

He vividly recalls that there are significant gaps in his memory.

He had absolutely no memory of what happened on his previous planet after it was invaded by alien demons from outer space.

Now, Xia Zuo felt that his situation was very similar to what Christo had described, which made him feel vaguely uneasy.

Christo paused for a moment before continuing, "I think... if Black Flag really does that, he will definitely leave behind some special, harmless memories, such as clues about returning to the Church of the Otherworldly Demons, or how to reclaim the abilities that were separated."

Returning to the Church of the Otherworldly Demons... Clues... Xia Zuo frowned as he examined his memories. Whether before or after his transmigration, there seemed to be no memories related to returning to the Church of the Otherworldly Demons.

Silence fell over the room. Christo was worried about the possible grand trial, while Shazor was lost in his memories.

"Hmph~" Christor sighed softly, "Never mind... let the two councils deal with this headache."

Christo closed the notebook on her desk, lightly patted the cover, and said, "I'll go tell Letunia and the others the information, and then send it to the Standing Committee of the Two Temples Council. Be careful when you're exploring the headquarters of the Church of the Otherworld."

“Okay, Christo.” Shazo snapped out of his reverie.

After the other party left, he brought up the perspective of the hemolymph servant in his mind.

Rexol set off, this time at a much faster speed.

Xia Zuo didn't disturb his journey, but instead focused his attention on the headquarters of the Otherworldly Church.

There are two options right now.

Xia Zuo can go and find out where the demons in the headquarters are, and what they are doing. He can also search important areas such as the armory and bone sac warehouse in the headquarters, but the defense of these places will definitely be stricter. Without the ability to cast spells, the blood element servants may not be able to get in.

Oh, right!

Xia Zuo had a flash of inspiration.

Perhaps he should go find the generator for the anti-magic field!

If Xia Zuo could record its true appearance, or even its internal structure, the temple might be able to devise a plan to destroy it.

Logically speaking, if a magic-suppressing force field acts on nature, then its generator should also be placed in nature. There shouldn't be a situation where the generator is installed in a dark room, but the force field is effective in nature.

Moreover, as a force field with an effective range of millions of square kilometers, Xia Zuo has reason to believe that its force field generator should be very large, at least several hundred cubic meters in size, and easily identifiable.

Xia Zuo thought about it more and more and felt that this idea was highly feasible.

He switched to Rexor's perspective and asked him through the red line, "Master, do you know anything about the anti-magic field? I want to take advantage of the fact that the Church of the Otherworld is empty to find the anti-magic field generator."

Rexol glanced at Shazo's words, slowed down slightly, and said:

"The Temple did not obtain any information about the anti-magic field from the Otherworlders, but it did a lot of research on it. The alchemical school discovered that the anti-magic field could reach the top of the star-crossing land, connecting with the bottom of the primordial smoke. In addition, this thing is not a hemisphere placed on the earth, but a cylinder."

"This height and appearance prevented the temple from deploying inner temple mages above the anti-magic field. The Creation Smoke became the only line of defense. Fortunately, the Creation Smoke was very reliable, focusing on this area, and almost no celestial demons could descend here."

Rexor returned to the main topic, "If you're looking for a magic-blocking field generator, I suggest you approach it from the perspective of energy supply. A magic-blocking field that covers a large part of the Eastern Continent consumes an astonishing amount of energy every moment. You can imagine how massive the energy system supplying the magic-blocking field generator would be."

“Right, that makes sense.” Xia Zuo nodded and looked at the lights in the headquarters of the Church of the Otherworldly Demons. “I know what to do. I will follow the energy pipes in the walls to the source of the energy, and then go from there to the facility that consumes the most energy.”

“Very good, that’s how it should be.” Rexolton paused, then asked, “How are the other infiltration teams doing?”

“Everything is normal,” Xia Zuo said. “They are wreaking havoc on the infrastructure of the Church of the Otherworldly Demons, killing monsters here, and collecting rare monster materials. They will continue this until you join them, maximizing the gains from this adventure as much as possible.”

Over the past few days, Xia Zuo can only describe himself as having won a lot.

After discovering that the Church of the Otherworld was unable to spare any manpower to deal with the situation on the ground, the infiltrators became increasingly brazen, openly using the weapons and equipment they had brought from the temple.

The infiltration team was at least two generations ahead of the enemy in terms of weaponry. While their opponents were still using bolt-action and lever-action rifles, the infiltration team pulled out their most powerful weapons—multi-barreled rotary machine guns and mortars. With overwhelming force, they annihilated all the enemies surrounding the Rose Knights' base.

Thanks to the infiltration team's strong support, Xia Zuo gains several hundred vitality attribute points almost every day.

The only awkward thing was... due to the infiltrating team's excessively long range, many times the enemy's death location was too far from the red vest. Xia Zuo's blood element servants couldn't absorb the vitality attribute value of these fallen enemies. He watched helplessly as the life force orb rapidly rose into the air not far away, feeling incredibly frustrated.

After listening to Shazo's description, Rexor said, "My plan is to fight and retreat at the same time. While retreating towards the cliff pass to reduce our depth, we will clear out the enemies along the way, explore the monster lairs along the retreat route, and wipe out the strongholds of the Alien Group and the Mishima Group along the way."

Xia Zuo said, "Then I will dismiss the Blood Element Servants as soon as you are ready to leave."

He made arrangements with the bald man and then devoted himself to figuring out the energy pipeline routes of the Church of the Otherworld headquarters.

Regardless of the location, the energy supply methods are largely the same.

Energy production can be either centralized or distributed. The former involves a massive energy generator and numerous pipelines leading to various energy-consuming facilities, while the latter involves each energy-consuming facility having its own independent energy generator.

Xia Zuo immediately realized that the headquarters of the Otherworldly Church had adopted a centralized system.

He studied the distribution of wall lamps and various energy-consuming facilities and found the energy hub of this floor—corresponding to the meter box and the main switch of the floor in the power system.

The Blood Element Servant followed the thickest energy pipe in the energy hub, and after many twists and turns, arrived in front of a huge spherical object.

Through its distorted senses, the Blood Servant saw a stone sphere with hexagonal patterns covering its surface.

The stone sphere was covered with energy pipes of varying thicknesses.

Whenever the stone sphere contracts like a heart, the energy pipes visibly expand, as if a large mass of energy has been inserted into them.

The pipes connected to this thing are all outputs, not inputs. In other words, the raw materials for the stone sphere to generate energy are already stored inside the stone sphere. As long as it is in a state of dissolving raw materials, it can continuously output energy.

Xia Zuo was a little curious about what the stone sphere would look like after the sensory distortion effect was removed.

He suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and found the thickest energy pipe.

The blood element servants flew upwards along pipes as wide as the corridor, the singing growing clearer and louder in their ears.

"Did I go the wrong way?" Xia Zuo stopped the Blood Element Servant and steered it back a short distance, the song praising Vasaksat becoming much softer.

How awkward... I was looking for a generator to create an anti-magic field, but it turns out the place with the highest energy consumption is the singing area...

With the mindset of "since we're already here, it would be a shame not to take a look," Xia Zuo controlled his Blood Element servant to fly towards the direction of the song.

The energy pipeline route runs vertically, then horizontally, and finally connects to the energy hub on a certain floor of the church headquarters.

Here, there are two rows of metal grilles that resemble ventilation windows. Cool air gusts blow in from one side of the grille, while the heat waves from the energy hub leave from the other side.

The Blood Element servants stood by the fence, cautiously peering at the scene outside.

A massive crowd filled the large square below, with countless demons dressed in jet-black robes, standing in neat rows, singing loudly and bowing in the same direction.

The Blood Element Servant was positioned in a section of wall at the corner of the large square, giving it a panoramic view of almost half of the square. The object of worship for the demons was blocked by the energy pipes and was in its blind spot.

Xia Zuo was very cautious.

The demons below, in their distorted senses, were all dazzlingly beautiful. The men had standard handsome faces and upright postures, while the women were extremely seductive and had graceful figures.

However, they still exhibited some characteristics of the Otherworldly Demons.

Fangs, sharp teeth, thin claws, feathered arms... these parts that are difficult to distort and beautify with the senses should be the unique marks on each demon.

After seeing so many alien demons, Xia Zuo became even more cautious.

He knew that every demon here was extraordinary, and the object of their worship was even more so.

Xia Zuo struggled to suppress the urge to immediately look at the object of worship, and instead chose a relatively weak-looking alien demon, casting a detection spell on it.

Feedback indicates that this is a type of demon called "Pleasure Specialist," possessing over 90 points in charm attribute and numerous talents for spawning and breeding monsters and demons. Apart from being able to charm enemies, it has virtually no combat ability.

Its template has a negative status.

..

[Forced Piety]: This unit has been forced into an endless state of worship by an external force. This unit will remain in this state of worship until its death, until the external force is lifted.

..

Xia Zuo frowned, a thought of retreating crossed his mind.

Fortunately, he was cautious enough. If the external factors that caused [Forced Piety] had affected both the Blood Element servants and himself, that would have been terrible.

If nothing unexpected happens, this external factor should be the object of worship for all the otherworldly demons.

Inside the alchemy room, Xia Zuo stood up from his desk and paced back and forth in the room.

He was considering whether to take the risk of seeing what the Otherworldly beings worshipped, but he was also afraid that he and his Blood Element servants would be affected by [Forced Piety], so he had to disband the Blood Element servants.

To put it bluntly, if they accidentally alert the otherworldly demons, then we're doomed...

Not only will infiltrating the team be affected, but Xia Zuo's major project to recover vitality attribute points may also be aborted—the blood element servants can only successfully transfer vitality attribute points to Xia Zuo if they are disbanded by his side.

Xia Zuo pondered for a few minutes but couldn't find an answer, so he decided to consult a professional.

He posed this question to the bald man driving the motorcycle.

Rexor glanced at the question, smiled dismissively, and said, "Don't worry, Shazo. The [Mind Seal] I placed on the Blood Elemental servants is not that simple."

Chapter 66 Wide-Area Recycling Vitality (2-in-1)

Rexroth squeezed the brake lever, slightly reducing the car's speed, and then said:

"You probably haven't learned mind magic yet, have you? This school of thought is self-contained and has many functions, but because it is secretive and dangerous, it has not been fully revealed to the members of the Temple."

Xia Zuo responded with words written in red thread, "Yes. I only heard about the spell 'Mind Sharpening' from Master Adanavados before I learned meditation."

"[Mind Sharpening] is one of the three essential basic mind spells required when learning mind magic," Rexor explained.

"The other two are [Spirit Communication] and [Mind Seal]."

"[Spiritualism] is used to examine one's own mind. It can tell you what you like, what you dislike, what your habits are, what your beliefs and self-concept are, as well as a series of personality traits that you would not normally be aware of."
