Chapter 315 (2/2)

Satan would be over fifty years old this year. With the help of life-prolonging potions, his physical and spiritual peak would last for about thirty years at most. After that, the aging of his soul would be reflected in his spirit. Even if his body would still be young, his way forward as a mage would definitely become narrower.

Thirty years would be just enough to fail three times.

Considering that, it was easy to understand why he had been so nervous and cautious and why he had done such a big experiment at all costs, nearly spending all of his fortune and asking for help from two great Gods.

Fortunately, he had been lucky enough to succeed on his first try. Next, he just needed to hold a ceremony to adjust himself, and then with the help of powerful magic, he could surely step into the legendary realm.

According to his current situation and the fortune of the Void Mask Church, it was estimated that it would be ready in about half a year. In no more than a year, he could become a legendary mage and set foot on the new peak of life!

The success of the magic array was not only good for Satan, but also for Felix and Jose. Through the completion of this huge magic array, Felix’s understanding and mastery of magic went up to a higher level, saving at least ten years of gathering experience; Jose improved his control of the dragon blood magic in his body and also saved a lot of time to practice magic.

As for those who benefited the most, they were actually the residents of the Pyroxene Town.

For a long time, the pioneers of Ash Forest had lived in a weak negative energy environment. Though the cities and villages had been protected by holy temples, people still had to go outside sometimes. Once they went outside, they would inevitably be influenced by the negative energy.

In this situation, the life expectancy of residents in Ash Forest grew relatively short, and they often began to grow old and get sick at the age of 40 or so. Within a few years, they would die painfully from various diseases they had suffered. Of course, they didn’t want to live this kind of life, but they had no choice. They could only endure it silently.

There were magic props to resist negative energy, as well as magic potions to eliminate the bad influence of negative energy, but how could normal residents afford them?

But now it had become different!

With the completion of the large-scale purification array, most of the residents in Pyroxene Town didn’t need to live in an environment full of negative energy. Even the negative energy accumulated in their bodies would be gradually purified over time. This allowed them to live longer lives and have healthier bodies. The former couldn’t be seen just yet, but the latter showed instant results.

A short while after the completion of the purification array, people outside the town felt that the surrounding environment had changed. It wasn’t that there was a new smell in the air, but that the gloomy and oppressive feeling had disappeared, and they felt much more relaxed in their whole body.

They looked at each other doubtfully, not knowing what was going on.

But there was no doubt that it was something good!

That evening, Felix gathered all the residents of the Pyroxene Town and announced that the large-scale purification array had been completed, so as long as they didn’t travel outside of the green area in the woods, they wouldn’t be influenced by negative energy anymore. At first, the residents were at a loss—they had no idea what negative energy was, but later, after further explanation from Felix, they were overjoyed and happy, as if they were celebrating a festival.

After all, who didn’t want to live a long and healthy life?

Seeing that, Felix had an idea in her mind. She announced that the date would be Purification Day every year, and that celebrations would be held to celebrate this happy day.

People always said that good things should be done as soon as possible. Since this festival had been set, they wanted to celebrate it today.

When Jose returned to the Pyroxene Town, he saw a huge bonfire in the square in the middle of the town. Several tables were filled with white bread and rye wine, and two chefs were preparing meat and vegetables. The residents laughed and sang with joy.

They laughed as freely as if they were releasing the depression and pressure they had accumulated for so long at the celebration.

They sang so happily, like they were going to drive away all the bad luck, usher in endless good luck, and hold it firmly in their hands, never letting it go.
