1391 Three-Eyed God Part 2 (1/2)
The matter of felling the forest was entrusted to the Violet Angel. The Violet Angel itself was a puppet. It could transform itself into numerous engineer puppets and was the best worker.
The Violet Angel went to carry out its orders, secretly feeling bitter. Although he could be transformed into all kinds of machinery, but there was a limit to the number that he could turn into. The forest area at the border of this divine kingdom fragment was already not small. Who knew how much time would be spent to finish felling the entire thing.
However, the Violet Angel immediately roused its spirits and said to himself, ”This means Master trusts me. Didn't you see how he let me lead the lightning warriors to handle these matters? It looks like I know have a position amidst the people by Master's side, and it has also been raised. Violet Angel, you must work hard!”
Saleen did not know that after the Violet Angel mumbled and grumbled to himself, he also gave himself a round of encouragement. If he had seen this scene, he would definitely have been extremely surprised. This man-made object would also act in such a humanized manner. To mages, he might hold more research meaning and value than the water puppet.
The water puppet could not be replicated. After all, something like the Shenhe was become more and more scarce.
Saleen brought the three-eyed god's skull with him and returned to the interdimensional space. Then, he chased away his magic amplifier's Weapon's Spirit in order for him to think of ways to collect the divine kingdom. If he could not collect the whole thing, he was to break it into fragments and consume it.
The divine kingdom itself possessed its own independent space. The original space within the magic amplifier was not big. If it was completely merged within, Saleen's magic amplifier would be able to allow Floating City to enter it as well. At that time, Saleen would really be able to come and go as he pleased. He could bring along Floating City everywhere he went and could dispatch more than a million troops at any time.
Also, once Floating City could be brought about with him easily, Saleen would no longer have to station too many troops at any city.
A teleportation portal would be able to resolve all of his problems.
After returning to the interdimensional space, Saleen only allowed the Winged Skull to remain. Even Rafel was chased out of the magical tower. When he retrieved the three-eyed god's skull and placed it on the alchemy table, the taciturn Winged Skull then opened its mouth to say, ”Master, this three-eyed god...became a god after death.”
”Became a god after death?”
”Mm, after one's life has come to an end, they can only become a god after turning into a death creature. But as a death creature, they cannot maintain it for too long. This three-eyed god could not bear to give up their memories of their previous life,” The Winged Skull replied.
Saleen's heart was moved. Could it be that the Winged Skull also had memories of his previous life? From his tone, it seemed as if death creatures cared about this very much.
But this was not the time to question him further. Saleen did not want to forcefully ask about such matters as well. The Winged Skull and Nailisi were different. His loyalty had been established upon the respect that Saleen showed towards him. Such loyalty was loyalty towards the contract, and not a request to be on equal footing with Saleen.
After signing a soul contract, a typical mage would not search or forcefully request contractual creatures to reveal their secrets.
Jason saw the large-sized skull and was also extremely awed.
”Saleen, this item is really great, you can utilize it by fusing it into the Figure of Fate.”
”Figure of Fate?”
”Indeed, its best if an astrologer's items are not left in the body. Don't just think that it can save your life. It can also cause you to develop a sense of reliance towards it,” Jason warned his student. If Saleen did not have the Figure of Fate, perhaps his speed of advancement would be even faster, wouldn't it?
Saleen's fortune was becoming better and better, yet he had been implicated by the Figure of Fate.
Of course, without the Figure of Fate, Saleen would have died a few times. Such matters had their disadvantages, as well as advantages. It depended on what Saleen chose.
Yet, now there was another opportunity. With the three-eyed god's skull, the Figure of Fate's properties could be transferred to a piece of equipment that was purely for a mage, instead of an astrologer's equipment.
Saleen understood his Teacher's meaning. Although he felt a little sorry towards Gaine, but he also had no choice.
There would eventually come a day when he would have to completely bid farewell to astrology.
On the other hand, the secret techniques that Teacher had taught him were extremely compatible with magic. Alternatively, they could be said to be another systematic type of magic.
Within the secret technique, there were descriptions of such fusions of equipment. Saleen himself had tried this many times. Such fusions, typically, were easier the lower the grade of the equipment in question.
If it was for equipment below grade-9, Saleen would practically not make any mistakes. For equipment above grade-9, the materials needed to be of sufficiently good quality in order to prevent the refining from failing.
For such methods of equipment fusion, if it failed, the equipment would be completely destroyed. Even claiming back the value of the materials could not be done.
”I will do it now. But before that, Bing, absorb as much as you can,” Saleen said to the Winged Skull.
The Winged Skull nodded, with a gleeful expression showing on his face. If he absorbed the power of death on this skull, it would not cause Saleen to suffer any losses, yet the benefits for him would also be immense. With this power, his 1,000 or so golden skeleons could all advance. And it would not take more than 10 years.
The Winged Skull spewed out death flames from his mouth, enveloping the three-eyed god's skull in it. In ancient times, the three-eyed god had also been an existence in the same league as the King of gods. Yet, they had now fallen to the extent that their skull was being refined by others.
Saleen increasingly understood that there were not everlasting kingdoms, nor were there everlasting existences.
Even after becoming a god, one would eventually have to fall. Gaine had wanted to enter an even higher grade Crystal Wall system. This was for the sake of achieving eternity, right? In any case, within this Crystal Wall system, everything would eventually perish one day.
