Qin Hao could say that he had expended an enormous amount of effort in refining the Life and Death Book, and it was only after deep consideration that he chose this method to refine it.
Simply looking at the grade of the treasure, the Life and Death Book was not higher than the Purple Firmament Palace and the bestowal of gods, but the complexity and precision of its refinement were much greater. The processing of each material and every refining step were much more stringent.
The reason its grade was not high was more due to the attributes of the treasure itself. This treasure was considered a soul treasure, but it did not have much effect in terms of either soul defense or soul attack. Its only function was to leave a soul imprint on the Life and Death Book, avoiding soul enslavement and the complete annihilation of the soul.
Even after death, one could quickly revive and be reborn by relying on the soul imprint left in the Life and Death Book. However, this also had certain limitations; only those above Undying could do so. Above Undying, as long as the body and soul were not completely annihilated and divine power did not completely disappear, one could be reborn through the soul imprint left in the Life and Death Book.
The best effect was for powerhouses at the Undying stage. As for Venerables and Universe Lords, Qin Hao was not sure if it could fully bear them and achieve the purpose of resurrection. Moreover, the divine power required for both was too great, and resurrection was also a very long process.
Even with the support of a vast sea of divine power, the initial stage still required a bit of recovery, and only after the soul consciousness reawakened in the later stage could it recover quickly.
Three hundred and sixty-five pages, each page could record ten thousand names, which means ten thousand soul imprints, so three hundred and sixty-five pages would be three million six hundred and fifty thousand. This was already enough to cover all the powerhouses within the Great Alliance, providing a guarantee for the Human Race's most core powerhouses and also reducing the consumption of the Universe Lord.
After all, every time a powerhouse was resurrected, it consumed the divine power of the Universe Lord, which needed to be recovered. However, the Life and Death Book could draw divine power through each soul imprint. Although the amount was very weak, accumulated over time, coupled with the large number of people, it could completely support the consumption.
As long as they were not completely wiped out at once, the usual number of deaths would not put any pressure on the Life and Death Book.
As the words “Life and Death Book” appeared, Qin Hao did not fully relax; instead, he became even more cautious. The surrounding divine power was quickly communicated, and streams of divine power condensed between Qin Hao's fingers: Gold Law, Wood Laws, Water Law, Fire Law, Earth Law, Wind Law, Thunder Law, and Law of Light—eight streams of divine power condensed separately.
Qin Hao's fingertip probed into the Life and Death Book, and the Gold Law condensed with divine power.
“One Thought Creates the World!” The secret method was put into practice, and divine power began to rapidly deplete. A world completely condensed from the Gold Law and divine power began to expand continuously: one million kilometers, ten million kilometers, one hundred million kilometers...
The golden world rapidly expanded to trillions of kilometers and still did not stop, quickly breaking the one light-year limit, continuing until it approached nine light-years before gradually stopping. Subsequently, the remaining divine power surged into the golden world, transforming into a golden ocean.
This world was condensed by Qin Hao with divine power and laws, and in the future, it would also be one of the core components of the entire Life and Death Book. It would be the gathering place for the Undying resurrection divine power of the Gold Law, and also where the absorbed divine power would condense. The entire world would also continuously expand until it reached its limit.
After the creation of the world was completed, Qin Hao's actions continued. Corresponding worlds of Wood Laws and divine power, Water Law and divine power, Fire Law and divine power, Earth Law and divine power, Law of Light and divine power, Wind Law and divine power, and Thunder Law and divine power were successively created.
After the eight great worlds were formed, they created a ring deep within the Life and Death Book, becoming the core of this treasure.
As the eight worlds were completed, the light on the Life and Death Book also began to recede, as if it had become an ordinary blank book.
Reaching out and holding the Life and Death Book in his hand, Qin Hao also carefully examined it. The function of the Life and Death Book was very singular, but its refining difficulty was very high. On one hand, it needed to be able to bear the soul imprints of many powerhouses, requiring sufficiently strong materials, and also needing to be able to bear a sufficiently large amount of condensed divine power. For this, Qin Hao combined tens of thousands of materials to achieve it.
On the other hand, the vast quantity, complex array formations, secret texts, and engravings on the diagrams consumed a great deal of Qin Hao's mental energy. It was also because Qin Hao's soul was strong enough; otherwise, just the consumption of the soul would be unbearable for most people.
The further one progressed in refining, the more it tested the refiner's own comprehension, soul, and other comprehensive qualities; otherwise, it would be difficult to refine powerful treasures.
Putting away the Life and Death Book, the more than four thousand Champion Immortals around him were directly re-admitted into the Wan Shou Tu Pu (Myriad Beasts Diagram) and the Purple Firmament Palace. Qin Hao also came out directly from the Jiang Lan Realm, glanced at his small courtyard, and then instantly teleported to the entrance of the Primordial Chaos City Lord's mansion.
Stepping into the City Lord's mansion, Qin Hao directly entered the inner residence. Guiyi Venerable was already waiting, and the moment he saw Qin Hao, he quickly walked to Qin Hao's front and grabbed his shoulders.
“Junior Brother, you have already refined the treasure. What kind is it? Let your Senior Brother take a look first.” Guiyi Venerable said to Qin Hao excitedly. Qin Hao had been in Primordial Chaos City for many years, spending most of his time cultivating, and occasionally going out to comprehend the chaos tablet.
Now, Qin Hao's comprehension of the chaos tablet was no longer limited to a single chaos tablet; he had a deep understanding of most chaos tablets.
Except for comprehending the chaos tablet, Qin Hao had almost never been to Primordial Chaos City. This time, Guiyi Venerable already had a guess in his heart.
“Let's go to the Chaos Ruins to see Teacher first. Senior Brother, you probably won't need this treasure. When I return from the Elder God Cult, I'll tailor one for you!” Qin Hao said. Although the Life and Death Book was said to be for Primordial Chaos City Lord, it was more of a contribution to the Human Race.
After all, a treasure that could provide a certain guarantee for the powerhouses of the race was enough to be taken seriously.
“Alright!” Guiyi Venerable did not ask too many questions and led Qin Hao into the Chaos Ruins.
Stepping into the Chaos Ruins, the two of them were no longer as relaxed as they were outside; they both became much more solemn.
“Greetings, Teacher!” Guiyi Venerable and Qin Hao respectfully bowed.
“The treasure has already been successfully refined?” Primordial Chaos City Lord was also a little surprised. The refining of every treasure required a large amount of time and resources. How many years had it been for Qin Hao, and he had already refined the treasure.
Although he had initially guessed that Qin Hao had a space-time treasure that could accelerate the flow of time, even so, the time was still a bit too fast.
“It has already been successfully refined.” Qin Hao said, and the Life and Death Book appeared in his hand.
