Silver Sand Plains.

A secret room temporarily opened up in the underground shelter.

There is a "mummy" in the secret room.

The reason for the quotation marks is that the "mummy" is still alive.

At first glance, it looks like a skeleton covered with a layer of dull yellow wax, but underneath the wax are shriveled blood vessels and almost invisible muscles.

Because the skin is too thin, it appears translucent, and you can clearly see the internal organs between the chest and abdomen.

The intestines and stomach have completely shriveled, the lungs are almost completely dried up, and only the heart still has a last bit of life left.

The heart was beating, but at a very, very low frequency, on average only once every half an hour, barely perceptible beat.

After looking around, Nellie commented: "It's almost indistinguishable from a corpse."

Belldandy also looked around and said, "It's a woman, not very old, definitely under 30."

Adela took the Branch of Life and examined it carefully, coming to a deeper conclusion.

"It is indeed a divine body, but both the soul and body have reached the critical point of collapse."

"If we hadn't discovered it, it could have lasted for 200 years at most."

Rosen also took the Scepter of Nature to check.

His understanding of the divine body far exceeded that of Adela, and naturally the quality of the scepter was also higher, so he obtained more detailed and in-depth information.

"The power in the body has been almost exhausted. Eighty percent of the high-energy elements have been replaced by ordinary elements, but the brain is still pure high-energy elements."

"The soul in the brain is also roughly intact, but its power is very weak. Currently, it has less than six rings of strength."

"But judging from the fine structure of its soul, it has the potential to contain a huge amount of power. In its prime, it may be more than ten thousand times stronger than mine."

Ten thousand times is still a conservative estimate, because there are many sophisticated structures in its soul that Rosen cannot understand at all.

Rosen felt that this was a true ancient god in the true sense.

His conclusion surprised everyone.

Rosen's soul is the largest among the four, five times larger than Adela's.

Now this unknown true god left over from ancient times is 10,000 times more powerful than him. Once she fully recovers, won't she be able to crush them like ants? Belldandy immediately said, "Your Majesty, this is not a power we can dominate. I suggest killing her completely."

Rosen shook his head: "Don't be nervous, I'm only talking about potential, not reality."

"It is very difficult to realize this potential. Not only do I need to repair all my physical injuries, but I also need to draw on a huge amount of strength, and I also need the cooperation of the plane magic ring."

"We are now in the Mortal Realm, and the power of this True God can only stably reach Legendary 19. At this level, his power is not stronger than mine, and may even be weaker."

These words made the three women breathe a sigh of relief.

Rosen continued to look at it and came to a new conclusion.

"In addition to its huge growth potential, the order of its soul is very high and very precise. It is so high that it does not seem like a natural life, but rather like a man-made machine."

Adela was slightly surprised: "Is it an artificial life form like the Void Demon?"

There are two types of intelligent void life: one is the void god that is a soul projection, and the other is the inhuman void demon.

The Void Demon was most likely created by the Abyss.

Although they possess intelligence, they are completely different from natural life, and it is difficult for them to generate real emotional resonance, so they often do evil things that are extremely horrible in the eyes of mortals.

If this ancient true god is also a 'devil', that would be really terrifying.

Rosen didn't rush to draw a conclusion and continued to check.

Half an hour later, he came to a new conclusion: "No, it's not a man-made void demon."

"I have investigated the soul structures of many void demons, and all of them have obvious traces of human manipulation, but this true god does not."

“The sense of order is ridiculously high, but it is also filled with the coordination of natural life.”

"This should be the result of long-term practice and rational thinking. It is not completely rational, and there is still a small part of emotion."

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a very, very powerful high-energy wizard from an ancient lost civilization."

Belldandy immediately said: "That would be even more dangerous. It would be better to nip the danger in the bud."

She was sharpening her knife, and as long as Rosen nodded, the ancient true god would be turned into a corpse in the next moment.

Rosen smiled and shook his head: "Beldandi, stop thinking about killing all the time."

"We are not facing a pure battlefield of life and death, but a complex and unknown world. Danger always coexists with opportunity."

If we kill the danger, we will naturally kill the opportunity as well.

Seeing that Belldandy was not convinced, he changed his words.

"This high-powered mage is a scholar, not a warrior. It would be dishonorable to use a warrior's method against her when she is at her weakest."

When Belldandi heard that he was a scholar, his high fighting spirit immediately subsided, but he was still curious.

"Your Majesty, on what basis do you say that?"

Rosen pointed the Natural Scepter at the forehead of the mummy.

"The elemental structure of its brain told me that."

"The logical thinking area of ​​his brain is very developed, but the motor area is very underdeveloped. His nerve reflexes are also slow, much slower than that of an average person, even less than one-third of mine."

"Finally, her eyesight wasn't very good either, she was pretty nearsighted."

"From the subtle marks on her head, we can see that she had used magic to repair her eyeball structure many times. However, due to incorrect eye habits, her myopia relapsed many times. Later, she simply gave herself a pair of crystal glasses."

"In the end, this person may appear to be less than 30 years old, but he is actually at least 800 years old."

"To sum up, this person should be a scholar with slow reaction, blurred vision, and who has been buried in books for many years."

Belldandy was relieved: "I can beat a hundred scholars like this."

Adela smiled and said, "That's good news."

Nellie whispered, "Your Majesty, can you wake her up?"

Rosen nodded: "Okay, but her body is severely damaged and she is only a step away from collapse. I need to spend some time and energy on it."

"Hmm~~Give me 24 hours of quiet time."

Since he said so, the three women left the secret room and sealed it tightly.

Rosen was already very curious about the Ancient Dawn Empire, and the scholar in front of him was a living encyclopedia, so there was no reason for him to just stand by and watch him die.

He concentrated his mind and began to infuse power into the body and soul of the ancient true god bit by bit, while also replenishing his body with the various high-energy elements that had been lost.

As he operated, the 'mummy' gradually changed from shriveled to plump, and its various life activities also gradually increased.

All his hair had fallen out and turned into powder over time.

But with the intensification of life activities and the supplement of high-energy elements, violet hair gradually began to grow on the scalp.

The skin also gradually changed from the previous dull waxy yellow to a shiny white jade color.

In order to prevent him from not having enough muscle strength to support his body after waking up, Rosen also deliberately stimulated his muscle growth.

Taking into account that she is a woman and it would be unsightly to have a body full of strong muscles, Rosen did not use high intensity stimulation. When the muscles had grown enough, he deliberately wrapped a layer of fat on the outside to modify the body lines.

The other person is still nearsighted, and the degree of myopia is not low.

After thinking about it for a while, Rosen did not repair it, but instead made a pair of gold-rimmed crystal glasses with appropriate prescription for it.

Just like that, repairing and nourishing bit by bit, after about six hours, the Ancient True God's body returned to the appearance of a normal young woman.

But this is only external.

The damage to his brain and soul is still very severe.

So he remained asleep, unable to wake up.

Because she is an elemental life, the damage to her soul is essentially caused by brain damage, and the structure of the brain is extremely delicate, and ordinary mages have basically no ability to repair it.

Even if it is repaired, there will definitely be various sequelae.

But she was lucky enough to meet Rosen.

Rosen mobilized 90% of Lai Fu's computing power and, with the help of the Scepter of Nature, repaired the brain bit by bit at the molecular level.

He vaguely felt that this ancient true god should have a high status in the Dawn Empire.

And he knew almost nothing about the Dawn Empire's achievements in life magic.

But what is certain is that he is most likely stronger than him. Even if he is not as strong as him, the gap is not far behind.

In this case, secretly placing a control backdoor in his brain is just a trick that can easily lead to severe backlash.

So, Rosen simply showed his sincerity and did not leave any control secret doors, and repaired them as perfectly as possible.

Ten full hours passed like this, and the damage to the brain was finally repaired by half.

Theoretically, Rosen could be completely repaired.

But the essence of 'repair' is 'reconstruction'. Although it may seem that the repair has been completed, it will actually cause the other person's soul to lose a lot of precious original information.

So, Rosen only repairs the parts that support life and basic consciousness.

As for the remaining 95%, we can wait until the other party wakes up.

At this time, he clearly felt that the other party's brain activity became very active, and his life activities naturally became much more intense.

His breathing became heavier, his heartbeat quickened, his body temperature rose, and he was only a moment away from waking up.

It would be obviously indecent to let him wake up naked like this.

Rosen activated the elemental projection technique again and got a decent set of clothes and a pocket-sized sun heart to sustain the natural consumption of his divine body.

After the wizard carefully dressed him, he felt that this ancient scholar of true God was about to wake up, so he summoned Adela and others.

Adela came in, took a look, and made a comment.

"The facial features are quite exquisite, and they also have a charm that has traveled through time, with a sense of ancient sculpture."

Belldandy said, "I discovered that this ancient civilization loves purple. The hunters are dark purple, and the keys used to control the hunters are also dark purple. Now even people's hair is purple."

Nellie said: "It's really weak, only 7 rings."

Rosen explained: "This is to save energy and avoid mistakes. I only repaired the deepest and most critical injuries, and let the other unimportant injuries recover naturally."

"But according to my estimation, without any external help, it will take at least twenty years for her strength to naturally recover to the level of Legendary 19."

Adela smiled and said, "That's good. If something goes wrong, it will be easy to control."

As everyone was talking, the eyes of this scholar from ancient times began to roll and his eyelashes trembled more violently.

After more than ten seconds, she slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of strange eyes shining with deep purple starlight.

She didn't say anything and didn't seem surprised at the current situation.

Be it the face, eyes, or soul, there was no sense of any ripples.

Her eyes moved among the four people in the secret room one by one, finally settling on Rosen.

After looking at him for a while, she spoke.

"My prediction was slightly off. It was 500 years too early, but I finally got you."

His voice is clear and his tone is calm, as if he is a watcher traveling through time.
