The secret poison of hell will continue to grow the virtual wings. Once the four wings are complete, it will immediately trigger the demigod promotion ceremony. No matter where you are, hell will descend upon you!
After witnessing Rajesh's promotion, no magician dared to guarantee that he could pass the ceremony, not even Vichy. Falling from hell, balancing the four wings, creating gods, and dealing with the attacks of demigod ghouls... If it is an exam, then the demigod promotion ceremony is like a hell exam where you have to play catch while answering questions beyond the syllabus within a limited time. But once you really answer them, all your classmates will rush over and tear up your test paper!
In the past, Ash and his friends thought that not publishing the promotion method of demigods was a deliberate means for the gods to suppress legendary magicians, but after learning the truth, they found that the reason behind the monopoly of promotion channels was heartwarming. Young people should just stay in the mortal world and work honestly. The more you contribute, the higher your realm will be. Once you want to break through the class, the vested interests will really rush down and snatch your achievements.
Theoretically, unless a miracle really happened, Ash and the others should now go to Harvey to choose their own corpse spot patterns.
But in the world of magicians, miracles are a resource that can be sold.
"Mr. Igula, Mr. Harvey," Vichy said with a smile, "Since you are temporarily teaming up with the demons from other teams, they should have recruited you afterwards, right?"
"...Yes." Igula admitted straightforwardly: "Yinzhi told me that if I don't want to die in the Demigod Ascension Ceremony, she is the only one who can save me."
"Is this the level of rhetoric that the people sent by the All-Knowing Weaver have?" Weishi sneered, "I can guarantee that other teams are willing to offer the same price to recruit you. Now, every additional magician on either side increases the chance of victory. As long as you are willing to be dogs, the gods will never be stingy with an angel seat! Of course, it is more likely that you will die directly in the angel hunt, and the gods will not even save the angel seat."
Igula was a little confused: "Sir Vishi, you have always hated joining the Lord God's forces, but isn't it normal for lower-level magicians to seek refuge with higher-level magicians? All countries operate according to this logic."
"Because if a one-winged magician serves as a dog for a four-winged magician, it will not hinder the one-winged magician's hope of promotion. But if a demigod surrenders to the Lord God, he will be a demigod for life." Weishi paused, "Do you still remember the Nightmare Angel?"
"The first master of the dream paradise?"
"Have you ever thought about this? He has the title of an angel, but why did he occupy the Dream Kingdom as a wandering demigod? And why did he have to uphold the Dream Kingdom to be promoted to God Lord?" Wei Xi said, "This is because he cannot create his own Heaven. His Temple of Magic has already been contributed."
After Vichy briefly explained the concept of the Magic Temple, Igula immediately responded: "The Temple is the predecessor of the Kingdom of Heaven?"
"That's right." Weishi said, "Although I don't know how it was done, the temple can indeed expand into the kingdom of heaven. This is also the most orthodox way for a demigod to be promoted to the Lord God."
"Although I don't know how the temple expanded into the kingdom of heaven, how the kingdom of heaven continued to expand is common knowledge that everyone knows."
Igula murmured, "Absorbing the temples of other demigods?"
"This is the price of gaining the Lord's protection. Your own temple must be integrated into the Kingdom of Heaven. You can only exist as a vassal of the Lord for eternity, and there will be no possibility of promotion." Wei Xi sneered: "The Nightmare Angel rebelled against the Kingdom of Heaven because of a disagreement with the Lord, but he no longer has a temple, so he can only occupy the Dream Heaven to regroup."
"So it's not difficult for you to survive. Just serve as dogs for the gods. Although we cannot rule out the possibility that they will turn against you, if the side you're on wins, then it will be a piece of cake for Him to help you become a demigod."
"If Rajesh is promoted in the outside world, the music master will most likely help him, and may even send gods to help him bear the fifth level of hell. Those ghouls are also discerning. As long as the god personally assists in the promotion ceremony, they will not appear to cause trouble at all."
Fili looked at the silent Ash and whispered, "But if it's for survival..."
"I recommend you to join the Lord God, but I will never do that." Weishi said: "I would rather bet that I can pass the promotion ceremony than take the path of an angel. That would be a fall for me."
The most evil devil in the world actually has room for depravity.
Ash suddenly said, "You won't seek your own death."
"I don't distinguish between life and death. I only care which path is closer to the Supreme." Weishi said firmly: "If it is just a temporary survival, I don't care, but the Temple of Magic is like the Virtual Wings. It is the most important foundation for magicians. Losing it is equivalent to losing hope to reach the Supreme. Compared to becoming an angel, betting on your ability to pass the promotion ceremony is the most cost-effective option."
"However, miracles are not free." Weishi looked at them and said, "When you are bound to the Lord God, you must obey orders and fight for the power of the source angel. Unless the side you follow wins, you will die in this country before hell descends."
A huge sense of absurdity spread in the hearts of the magicians: if they did not follow the Lord God, they would trigger the trial of hell after the angel hunt was over; if they followed the Lord God, they would most likely die in the angel hunt.
Ash asked, "Vichy, do you know them? Le Huai, Yin Zhi, Long Yuan, Ye Jian."
"I don't know him." Wei Xi shook his head: "Maybe he is an angel under the command of the Lord God."
Igula asked: "Is it possible that they are the will of the Lord God?"
Wei Xi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "The risk is too great. You simply cannot imagine how important will is. For example, if I capture the will of other demigods, I can basically find out most of their trump cards. If the Starry Lord captures the will of a God Lord, the intelligence advantage gained from searching for the will alone will be enough for Him to defeat other God Lords."
Igula nodded in agreement and said, "Other demons will be able to surpass the ability of synchronization and strengthen our magic after being transformed into spirits to a new level."
After that, everyone looked at Fili who was chewing a cantaloupe. Fili blinked, put the melon rind down, and repeated uncertainly: "Beyond Synchronicity?"
It was obvious that Fili didn't know this skill at all, but Igula was not surprised. Compared with other demons organized by the Lord, Fili was just an ordinary wild demon who had not received any education. Perhaps, as they guessed last time, the demon was just a container. Other teams found the demon and then stuffed the soul of the magician into it to obtain a high-level elite demon.
"Harvey," Igula gathered his thoughts and looked at the necromancer: "Do you have any additional information?"
Harvey, who had been in a daze, came back to his senses. He thought for a moment and asked, "Igula, why did you say that you would die in the demigod promotion ceremony?"
Igula was startled: "Because I can perform the promotion ceremony."
"Then why don't you just not proceed?"
Igula went over and patted the black-skinned curly-haired man on the head. "Wake up, is that something I can decide? The Hell Poison will continue to grow my virtual wings. Once the four wings are complete, the promotion ceremony will be triggered immediately!"
"Ah, yes, the Secret Poison of Hell." Harvey pondered, "Can you repeat the Secret Poison of Hell?"
"The Four-Winged Magician is the angel on the top of Ruby Mountain." Igula was getting more and more confused. "Didn't you see it all?"
"etc."
Wei Xi looked at Harvey in astonishment and asked tentatively, "Mr. Harvey... don't you actually know the contents of the Hell's Secret Poison?"
Ash and Igula were stunned and looked at Harvey in horror.
Harvey's expression was calm: "Now I know."
"Impossible!" Igula grabbed Harvey and said, "When Rajesh was performing the promotion ceremony, you were right next to me, watching. How could you not know?"
"I did see hell coming, but I was studying the reincarnation formation of billions of zombies at the time and didn't pay much attention to it." Harvey said, "Should I know?"
“You should know!” Igula yelled out of control, “Haven’t you heard of that legend before? The way for a legendary magician to ascend to a demigod is to condense four wings, climb to the top of Ruby Mountain, find an angel and accept the test. Whoever sees the scene of Rajesh’s ascension will definitely associate it with this legend!”
"I haven't heard of it."
Igula was completely dumbfounded. He let go of Harvey and sat on the sofa with his eyes downcast at the ground. Wei Xi asked, "Did Ye Jian say anything before you and Ye Jian separated?"
"It seems so, but I didn't listen much." Harvey said: "Now I only remember the details of the reincarnation formation of billions of zombies."
Ash never expected that Harvey's lonely personality, who was immersed in his own world without paying attention to others, would keep him away from danger at the critical moment... At least, he kept him away from danger for a while.
But after careful consideration, it was normal for Harvey not to have heard of the legend - he was still a Sanctuary Magician before entering Ruby Mountain! Sanctuary Magicians had no reason and no qualifications to pursue the legend of Ruby Mountain, just like elementary school students would not pay attention to the content of the high school entrance examination.
"That's not right. This legend should be recorded in my Ghost Handbook." Wei Xi was a little confused: "Haven't you read the Ghost Handbook?"
"He said that the Ghost Heritage has nothing to do with the Undead faction, so he never challenged the Ghost Heritage." Igula suddenly said, "During that time, he was studying the Dragon Lich of the Ghost King's Shackles. The contents of the Ghost Manual were what Ash and I talked about in our daily chats with him."
His shoulders trembled slightly. "He is always like this. He never listens to others, never cares about valuable information, and thinks about his undead all the time. All he talks about is corpses. Wherever we live, the stench of corpses blows everywhere. We can't even smell the food when we go to eat... I really am, I really am..."
"fed up!"
The always elegant and calm blonde fraudster suddenly smashed the glass coffee table with a punch. Fili was so shocked that she instantly took the cantaloupe back. Rose pulled up her skirt to block the glass fragments splashing towards Ash, and Vichy stood directly in front of Ash.
Ignoring the blood on his fist, Igula pushed open the door of the villa and left without saying a word, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Hey, it seems my virtual wings are really growing automatically."
Harvey took the glass shards off his arm and said with some joy.
