Gray wasn't originally a summoner, but several summoners' relatives died in battle in the floating city. Summoner relatives could directly use summoning scrolls, which didn't even require practice time, and with good luck, they could succeed on the first try.
Ultimately, it was the efficiency of modern printing that allowed certain descendants of heroes with connections to receive the corresponding scrolls that very evening.
The requirements for printing magic scrolls are somewhat special, such as using magic mithril as the base and monster hide as the base.
This is a requirement of military warfare; all civilian printing must give way to the war effort.
That day, people everywhere were talking about it.
The next day, all the summoning magic scrolls had been distributed, which also indicated that the number of casualties among Sandy's army was not high.
Inside the lord's manor.
Ron then moved on to the next task.
Despite advancements in technology, with many attacks now relying on long-range strikes or even unmanned combat powered by magical weapons, casualties still occur…
What he needs to do is see if he can recreate the ancient, lost arcane art: resurrection!
At the height of that arcane civilization, the art of resurrection existed. As Ron's knowledge grew, he also understood some of the prerequisites for the resurrection of mortals.
Those who step onto the path of divinity are not resurrected; they are revived. True divinists are excessively powerful, while mortals... resurrection requires the following conditions according to the laws of life: the World Tree must be fully revealed, life should return to perfection, and there's more...
Ron pondered this, and eventually arrived at the lich Bernal's place.
At Ron’s personal request, Bernal temporarily halted the reinforcement work on the main buildings of Sandy Territory.
In a secret room, Ron earnestly questioned Bernal about all the conditions for the resurrection arcane to reappear, and whether Bernal had any specific knowledge about it.
Answer: Yes!
Liches certainly exist.
I vividly remember that when Bernal lured Ron to the Northlands, the lich personally sent him a considerable amount of arcane knowledge.
It was about time, and Ron noticed that Bernal seemed to be in a better mood than he had been a few days ago.
After inquiring about the resurrection arcane, Ron asked about the rest of the arcane arts.
The answer is: Yes, all of them.
this……
...
As they talked, Ron became certain of one thing.
The so-called "civilizational gap" in the world doesn't include liches at all, although this only applies to a small number of liches...
Things that defy the laws of nature are no wonder they are shunned by the material world. Liches have no concept of lifespan, which is enough to defy the laws of nature.
Gods are immortal but cannot enter the material world, while the lich's theory of immortality allows them to inhabit other realms...
The price to pay for entering the path of the lich is an almost eternal emptiness...
With its skeleton and the fire of the soul remaining in this form, it is rejected by the material world, unwanted by the divine realm, and even difficult to enter the abyss...
It seems that liches are rejected by all worlds!
God also has the theory of immortality, but God also possesses power that the lich cannot match. God has a divine kingdom, a divine race, faith, and all living beings who follow Him.
The world needs gods as gardeners to help manage it, but it doesn't need the rebellion of liches, who are opportunistic and disregard the laws of life and death.
Looking at the legendary immortal races in the multiverse, they all have some limitations to varying degrees.
Arcane knowledge may well be fully understood by the immortal ancient gods, but Ron has no gods to rely on, while the lich is right before his eyes.
The exchange was in-depth.
A few days later, Ron finally left.
Ron discovered that while arcane knowledge was valuable, few people in the world could understand it anymore, including Ron himself, as studying arcane knowledge took too long.
The laws of the world change with the heavens and earth; the extraordinary path of the past is not the same as it is now.
These past few days have been quite fruitful. The arcane knowledge has been very valuable, and the ability to recreate key arcane spells using magical means reveals many commonalities...
Think about it, now only a few liches are omniscient in the material world, which can be considered a break in the chain. What makes a civilization a civilization is the common knowledge and sharing of the majority, rather than the knowledge and use of a single individual.
In the past few days, Ron had asked the lich why he hadn't spread arcane knowledge more widely earlier.
The lich did not answer.
Ron only had a few of his own deductions: liches were not favored by the material world, so what were humans to liches? Moreover, there was a history of arcane mages actively expelling the ancient elemental gods, so the gods of later generations would not necessarily let liches run rampant.
The lich, the mentor of civilization, exists only in ideals; reality is always reality.
The Bernal Lich has no obligation to modify arcane magic into extraordinary rules suitable for the modern world... Arcane magic can only be arcane magic.
I'm back in my own home once again.
Ron felt he needed to go into seclusion.
Resurrection. This technology is too crucial and worth studying.
Ron brought Vivian with him during this seclusion. Vivian's current sub-god-level computing power can save Ron a lot of time.
Time is life, keep striving!
On the fourth day after the lord announced his seclusion for meditation, war broke out.
Retribution from the abyss!
The countless spatial rifts throughout the Oran continent, enough to transport an entire demon army, must be the work of a demon god.
A war involving all living beings on the entire continent, a near-endless surge of demonic forces.
The Abyss may not have much else, but its low-level demon fodder is renewable, theoretically endless...
The Abyss is a recognized destination for souls, and bound by the laws of the Abyss, souls gradually undergo demonic transformation.
The process of the world becoming increasingly abyssal has fully erupted.
Many demons were anxious and angry; the boring arrangements made behind enemy lines by the gods were extremely disgusting.
The devils' arrangements behind enemy lines also disgusted all living beings in the material world.
The existence of an endless supply of demon cannon fodder also meant that they could test the waters to a satisfactory level. The gods still did not directly intervene, but a large army of demons, mainly composed of mid-level demons, gradually emerged on the demon side.
The low, medium, and high-level demon races correspond to the low, medium, and high-level elemental professionals below the master level among humans. Among the creatures on the continent, elemental professionals only account for about half of the total number, while the demon race consists of all low and medium-level demons.
In human terms, the demon race is an army of all-elemental professionals.
Demons of all shapes and sizes are always driven by some unseen force, leading some into traps, with even more demons following closely behind.
In the extraordinary world, quantity is often meaningless.
As far as Sandy Territory is concerned, the territory's military strength is simply not enough to cope with the situation. The legendary combat forces within the territory suffered a large-scale casualty incident, with many dead or wounded. However, given the legendary's regenerative abilities, they quickly recovered.
Most of the legends within the territory belong to the cult.
The two major churches, especially the Church of Music, have existed long enough that they must have produced legendary bishops.
For a month, all living beings across the continent faced a full-scale attack from the cannon fodder of the abyss.
A month later, high-ranking demons, lord demons, and demon kings finally made their appearance one after another.
Just like in previous years, a few years ago, after some probing, the Abyss chose to launch a major attack on the Orc Empire in the north, and that time they reaped countless ready-made souls.
Although going out is basically a pipe dream, all the forces on the Oran continent are under the influence of magic.
The next day, the demons' main attack direction was confirmed once again.
According to the overall analysis of the demonic information, the divided swordsman Balen Empire has become the main target of the demons' attacks.
Another great empire. Originally, there were only four empires on the continent. Putting aside the orc empire, once the main human empire falls completely, the entire human race will be in a state of panic.
It goes without saying that the difficulty of the devils' work will decrease dramatically in the remaining time.
The already dire state of the Orc Empire had led to an increase in the number of fallen beings, but thankfully there have been few reports of gods falling since then.
The high-ranking officials quickly reached a consensus: to provide as much assistance as possible to the unyielding other half of the Balen Empire, and for all living beings on the continent to unite as one. Well! The main reason for this consideration was that the Abyss's offensive intensity was currently insufficient; otherwise, they would be struggling to even take care of themselves, let alone have the idea of helping others.
Spatial portals appeared one after another, bringing with them precious teleportation scrolls, rare teleportation magic items, and elite forces from all sides rushed to their aid.
Sufficient communication with the demons at least ensures the possibility of timely reinforcements.
With the hope of reinforcements, the Balen Empire seems unlikely to collapse in the near future.
Ron and Vivian secluded themselves for two months and ten days, while the war lasted for more than two months.
In just over two months, the World Tree returned and gradually stabilized, the Law of Life was restored, and the resurrection spell was finally developed.
It was not easy, really not easy. The vast majority of the experimental animals were sent to military food processing plants.
Fortunately, with the support of the second-generation goddess Vivian's computing power, the infinite possibilities of resurrection magic spell arrays could be calculated, experimented with, altered and attempted, and the results of failure and backlash could be analyzed... However, Ron in the legendary realm could not be replicated, which shows the greatness of the arcane civilization.
Modern resurrection techniques have limitations. The body must be intact; otherwise, whatever is missing will also be missing during resurrection. For example, if there is no heart, first see if healing magic can temporarily regenerate the heart of a superhuman; otherwise, the resurrected individual will still die.
It is also known that this resurrection has a strict time limit; the sooner you are resurrected after death, the better.
There is another limitation that must be mentioned: resurrection consumes a lot of life force, leaving the person weak for a long time. This is part of the cost of magic, and it cannot be avoided at present.
Despite numerous limitations, it was a success. With resurrection, the transfer of heroic spirits, and the summoning of heroic spirits, they were finally able to barely contend with the endless demons of the abyss.
Resurrection is only of strategic significance, so let's leave it at that for now! It's just a pity that the source of spacetime is nowhere to be found, and without the spacetime laws we can rely on, it's true that once something is missing, it can't be made up for.
In ancient times, a portion of the true resurrection spells was enough to fully resurrect the dead. Many of the resurrection arcane items of that time originated from the application of deep laws and were best performed by practitioners of time and space. The cost is currently unclear, mainly because the cost of magic varies from era to era.
The magic circle closed, and Ron and Vivian emerged from the secret chamber.
