Yes, the knowledge that Qi Ji transmitted to Hill was a special meditation method developed by the Super Management Bureau of the Glory Plantagenet Empire. It enables ordinary people to call upon the spiritual power in their bodies and activate low-level spiritual items for a short period of time! Similar meditation methods are actually very common in the human world. Whether it is the Adventurer's Guild of the Templar Kingdom or the Iron Blood Mercenary Group of the Orc Kingdom of Sharp Fang, they have developed techniques with similar effects. The purpose is to allow ordinary people who do not possess extraordinary powers to enjoy the convenience of spiritual power. Among all similar meditation methods, the one studied by the Super Management Bureau of the Glory Plantagenet Empire is the most efficient one! "Junbai, is this the true knowledge of the gods?! This is too incredible..." Hill sighed sincerely in his heart, and then immediately adjusted his mental state according to the principles and methods explained in that piece of knowledge. Generally speaking, any meditation method, no matter what its effect or quality, has a chance of success only if it is performed in a quiet and undisturbed environment. It was almost impossible for her to be productive in her state of extreme fatigue and nervousness.
But Qi Ji was not too worried that Hill would fail. Because according to her previous investigation of this little girl's body, she found... Although Hill calls himself "an ordinary person without extraordinary talent for cultivation", he is very different from the "mortals" in the human world in terms of physique! Although the "mortals" in the human world still have spirituality in their bodies, they are all inert, like a pool of stagnant water. They cannot be summoned by the will of their master, let alone interfere with reality. For such people, meditation must be practiced for a long time before their spirituality can initially adapt to the state and thus have the opportunity to use it briefly. But Hill is completely different! I don’t know if it’s a problem with the evaluation criteria of the Last Kingdom, or if the humans in that land have special physiques. The so-called "ordinary people" have spirituality in their bodies that is still difficult to move according to the host's will, but it is active. In other words, for Hill, the meditation method of the Super Management Bureau is very simple to apply! Squinting her eyes slightly, it took her less than ten seconds to successfully call upon the active spiritual energy in her body and transfer it to the hand holding the talisman. Use specific techniques and methods to stimulate the surface of this crystal! “Snap!” The next second, a clear and loud shattering sound came from the talisman. The crimson light that was originally slightly fluctuating was like a candle blown by a strong wind. Its brightness rapidly weakened and then slowly recovered. Then, Hill's body... "Wow!——" Collapsed with a loud bang. Like a snowman melting scene fast-forwarded countless times, she suddenly disintegrated into a large thin black fluid, spreading evenly on the ground. Then it quickly seeped into the grayish-white soil and disappeared completely within a few seconds.
"Bang bang bang!" A few seconds after Hill's body disintegrated into black fluid and seeped into the ground, a series of low knocking sounds suddenly came faintly from the direction behind her. The sound seemed to be able to penetrate a person's skin and bones, reaching deep into the body, hitting the heart again and again, enough to make the person who heard it feel uncontrollable fear and throbbing. "Dong dong, dong dong, dong dong..." Its volume grew louder and louder, rising to a rumble like the thumping of a drum. The next moment... "boom!" The dense gray-white bushes were violently pushed aside, and several sturdy and tall figures emerged from the darkness. They can be roughly identified as human, but without exception, they have many limbs and features that are definitely not human. Sucker tentacles, nodular polyps, white granulations, densely packed eyeballs, exposed hearts or lung lobes... Countless indescribable, maddening organs or limbs, spliced together without any consideration or aesthetics onto a core that can barely be called a human form, wriggling in a state of blasphemy and frenzy. Unlike the evil spirits, the bodies of these deformed creatures are not covered with rust-like mottled marks, but are different and varied. Some were bloody, as if they had been soaked in a sea of blood; some were dry and black, like mummies burned by flames; some were smooth and sticky, like the slippery skin of amphibians... These monsters, which were unlikely to appear in nightmares, trampled on the grass and trees and appeared where Hill was originally. Without stopping, they continued to rush forward, as if the prey they were chasing was still fleeing ahead. "Boom! Boom! Boom, Boom... Boom..." The drum-like footsteps became increasingly distant and faint, and finally returned to the eternal, unchanging silence of the gray forest. Just like a stone thrown into the sea, it can only create short-lived waves. After a few dozen seconds, a layer of deep black suddenly permeated the land trampled by the monsters. Once the black color appeared, it quickly bulged from the center, like a black cloth being pulled up from the middle, forming a bamboo shoot shape nearly two meters high. The inky black bamboo shoots squirmed and contracted rapidly. Large patches of color emerged from the surface, and soon Hill's figure condensed into a shape. "Hoo...Hoo...They, are they gone?" Hill touched his chest in fear and looked around nervously to make sure there were no malicious creatures wandering around. Then she looked down at her right hand. The transparent crystal emitting crimson light was still lying in her palm, but the dark red light inside was much weaker. "Here's the thing for you. It can be used once more." The sweet and ethereal voice of the Outer God who called himself the "True Creator" entered her mind. "Thank you, sir!" Hill hurriedly put the crystal charm into the deepest part of his waist bag, bowed sincerely and gratefully, and then asked a little nervously:
"Excuse me, how can I repay you?" In the more than 200 years of history of the Last Kingdom, apart from the great and holy "Pure White Gate", no great being at the level of a god has ever established communication with them. One of the basic principles of the only god, "Pure White Gate", is "where there is a gift, there must be a demand". He will never give expensive salvation to mortals for nothing! Based on this experience, she believes that the "True Creator"...maybe the same is true. He would also probably demand compensation for the amulet and the knowledge about meditation. Therefore, Hill took the initiative to ask for a return, so as not to make the other party feel that he was ungrateful and thus commit the sin of usurpation and blasphemy. "…Return?" Qi Ji, who was sitting in the rocking chair in the tree house, was stunned. He didn't expect Hill to make such a request. "That's right. The gods here are generally not that generous. If believers want to gain power, even if they don't have to offer sacrifices, they still have to contribute their faith..." She tapped the armrest lightly with her index finger, thought about it, and decided that she should learn from the ways of the real gods and let Hill give her some benefits. "That's good. This way I can understand their situation more legitimately..." After a brief thought, she adopted a more serious tone and said in a deep voice: "The reward of knowledge should be knowledge, and the reward of material things should be material things." "what?" When Hill heard this answer, a look of confusion appeared on his face. After thinking for a while, she asked softly: "You mean, I need to... pay the price of that meditation method with knowledge, and use an item that also contains spirituality to offset the value of the spell?" The pleasant voice of the True Creator came immediately: "correct." "Then, how should I choose?" Hill said with some difficulty, "I don't know what kind of knowledge or spiritual items can be equal to your gift..." “That’s what you should consider.” The True Creator said so, and then there was no more movement. "My lord? My lord?" Hill called out a few times tentatively and found no response, realizing that the great being might have left. "Leave it to me to think about it... Is this some kind of test for me?" She raised her head slightly and frowned: "A test to see if I can correctly judge the price of a gift?"
After a few seconds, she shook her head as if she had just woken up from a dream, leaned on her spear, held a torch, and walked quickly in a certain direction: “Let’s return to the Last Kingdom as soon as possible! If I die, the connection between this land and the ‘True Creator’ will probably be completely severed! Then, everyone’s hope might…” The girl with orange medium-length hair, her back shrouded in the dim light of the torch, became the only light in the endless darkness. ====================== A new week, please like it! Chapter 283 Out of Control Angel “That’s what you should consider.” After conveying these somewhat mysterious words, Qi Ji stopped maintaining the Reed Mormon Mirror and stopped sharing his five senses with Hill. "She's not far from her destination. She'll probably be there by the next time we contact her." After putting away the Reed Mormon mirror, she slowly lowered the backrest of the rocking chair, lay on it very relaxedly, and closed her eyelids. Emotions: some anticipation, some excitement. "I'm really curious. I wonder what the human settlements over there are like. How are they different from here..." The name she asked Hill to recite was actually the main god of the "Spirit Constraint" sect, the "God of Night and Tranquility" and the "Goddess of the Moonlight" Lol. That is the one worshipped by the mysterious, ancient, and powerful "Moon Spirit Republic" that exists almost only in rumors. The reason why Hill was asked to recite the name of this god was because this was the only method Qi Ji could think of so far that could enable that grayish-white dark world to have material exchange with this side. The general principle is to let Hill recite the name of a great being and pray to Him first, and then Qi Ji will "graft" this prayer onto himself through special divine means. In other words, it was equivalent to intercepting the "request" that Hill sent to a certain god, and putting it on herself, asking her to respond to Hill's request on behalf of that god. But this is not enough. Under Qi Ji's deliberate guidance, the "First Creator" once tried to break through the dark clouds and let his own power penetrate into them so as to observe the land. But the faint red light that seeped in from the lead-black clouds only had time to touch the ground before it was completely eliminated and neutralized by some mysterious antagonistic force. It can be seen that there exists a large amount of omnipresent power that is opposite to divinity, so much so that it can completely isolate the attention of the divine beings. In this situation, simply asking Hill to pray to a certain god... is unlikely to be effective. It is very likely that her prayers cannot be heard in that world at all, and cannot penetrate the lead-black cloud containing strange power and reach Qi Ji. Therefore, Qiji added a few more steps in the middle. The first thing is to find a way to allow Hill's prayer to avoid the gray world's offset and neutralization of divinity and its influence, so that it can be transmitted to the outside world. In response to this, Qi Ji chose to start with the Mirror of Reed Mormon and the sealed space. After all, no matter what the principle is, the Reed Mormon Mirror can connect the outside world and the sealed space in a certain sense, and the sealed space is in the gray and white world, and can be entered and exited through the gaps on the edge. In other words, he could try to let Hill pray to the out-of-control divine monster in the sealed space, and then Qi Ji would be able to make this prayer bypass the divine monster, pass through the Reed Mormon Mirror, and point to himself.
The specific operation is very complicated, but the basic principle is roughly like this. If Hill wanted his prayer to be directed to the divine monster, he had to know the monster's specific information, such as His domain, His identity, and His person, so as to roughly infer His name. Yes, those who have reached the fifth level of divinity are essentially not much different from gods because they have gained a trace of divinity. In the ancient times before the Sixth Age, such myths existed and were also called "demigods". Therefore, they can also make up their own names like gods, so as to win over believers, enjoy offerings, gain faith, and respond to prayers. But the monster in the sealed space has already gone mad and has little rationality and intellectuality left. It is impossible to ask "His" name directly.
