After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 338 - 122: Ceremony Conditions and Gaining Red Dragon Blood Armor
"Yes, the game rules that are currently defined must have participants," Xi Mu relaxed his body and spoke candidly to Eden:
"The more people participating in the game rules I set, the easier it will be for me to ascend as a demon."
At this, he showed a troubled expression.
"However, this scale must involve most of the people in this world."
"This is actually the simplest ritual condition for you," Eden shook her head slightly, looked down at Ahtal resting on her knees, and spoke very calmly to explain, "As long as the Witch of Death unlocks her original seal, she can help you forcefully meet the conditions of the ritual."
"Who knows when the Goddess of Death will be willing to appear," Xi Mu covered his face with a hand, gazing at the ceiling with his only visible eye.
"Wouldn’t it be terrible if she never wishes to come out?"
"Having the Witch of Death’s help would make things smoother for you," Eden shook her head gently, comforting the somewhat disheartened Ahtal, "Even without the Witch of Death’s help, I believe you can do it."
From her perspective, as long as Ahtal was willing to utilize the resources at hand, he could successfully complete the ritual. It was just not as coercive as the Witch of Death’s method, which forced everyone to participate in Ahtal’s ritual.
"At least my ritual is decent," Xi Mu smiled, recalling the rituals of other demons and witches introduced in the official game documentation.
"Compared to finding four men of the same gender to insult oneself for three months or personally slaughtering all loved ones, my ritual just requires a bit more effort."
"Abilities born from twisted desires have extreme rituals," Eden shook her head. As the manager of the World Tree, she surely knew many conditions for completing demon rituals, but she never felt pity for others’ outrageous rituals.
Rituals are, in some ways, merely a reflection of one’s desires, just like Ahtal’s ritual, which fundamentally is just about wanting to play a game with everyone.
"That’s true," Xi Mu smiled, then closed his eyes to rest, recuperating his magic power. Being suspended by the Tree of Omniscience for seven days had continuously drained his magic power, naturally weakening him.
Meanwhile, Eden looked down at the nearly exhausted Ahtal resting on her knees and thoughtfully took out a bottle of magic potion.
She then patiently helped Ahtal sit up with a slightly disappointed expression and slowly administered the potion, replenishing the lost magic power.
A moment later.
"How do you feel?" Eden looked up, her fingers lightly touching her hair at her temples, watching Ahtal who had already stood up and was moving around.
In response, Xi Mu twitched his mouth and said, "Worthy of the All-Knowing Saintess’s magic potion, the effect is really good."
"Then let’s leave this place," Eden nodded lightly, about to take Ahtal out of the Temple of Omniscience. She had brought Ahtal to the Temple of Omniscience for one purpose, to ensure that Ahtal could successfully become a demon.
Since Ahtal had already acquired the necessary knowledge to become a demon, she naturally had to lead him away.
However.
"Before we leave, could you give me that branch?" Xi Mu raised his hand pointing at a branch not far away, inserted into the main trunk of the Tree of Omniscience, "That should be a branch of the Tree of Omniscience, right?"
"..."
Eden fell silent for a while, then raised her hand lightly, and the branch embedded in the main trunk of the Tree of Omniscience trembled, turning into a stream of light flying into her hand. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Then she wrote unknown characters on the branch of the Tree of Omniscience, hiding its presence.
"The branch of the Tree of Omniscience is very precious," she handed the branch of the Tree of Omniscience to Ahtal, her face serious.
"If not necessary, don’t let others know you possess it,"
"Understood," Xi Mu nodded seriously, taking the straight branch handed to him, this branch of the Tree of Omniscience ideally suited for crafting weapons, though there were very few in this world capable of using the Tree of Omniscience to forge weapons.
There were only four or five people capable of doing so.
"Let’s go back," he extended his hand to Eden. As their palms touched, light enveloped them both.
At the same time.
In the Country of Art.
The land originally ravaged by war had now been completely renewed, as if there had never been any conflict.
Who knows what methods the Church of Death had used.
"I still have matters to take care of," Eden withdrew her hand, looking at the man with one eye closed across from her, and softly said:
"We will have to part for some time."
"Hmm," Xi Mu didn’t inquire further, just nodded and watched as Eden dissolved into a mist of light and vanished on the spot.
Then he turned his head to look at Shark Girl Kaschte, who was hurriedly approaching from afar.
"Lord Ahetar, where have you been all this time?" Shark Girl Kaschte asked as she jumped, landing on newly constructed buildings to reach Ahetar’s front.
"Many significant events have happened during this time."
"What events?" Xi Mu calmly inquired, watching as Shark Girl Kaschte’s gaze wavered and she scratched her cheek saying:
"Your friend Sol... has gone mad."
"How did he go mad?" Xi Mu furrowed his brows, but saw Shark Girl avoiding his gaze, hemming and hawing for a while.
"We poisoned him to drive him mad,"
Her fingers fumbled in front of her chest,
"To resurrect the Monster Witch, we cooperated with Yemengade and dealt with the troublesome Sol,"
"..." Xi Mu fell silent, looking at the uneasy Kaschte, and after a pause, sighed, "I see."
