Once upon a time, Rosen regarded the Goddess of Annihilation as the source of chaos.

But from his experience dealing with the Goddess of Annihilation, he knew that although this opponent was extremely powerful, the Eternal Empire was not completely powerless to fight back.

And judging from the extent of the Goddess of Annihilation's infiltration into the Eternal Empire, it seems unlikely that she would have such a huge impact on the Eternal Empire.

But there are still too few clues at present, making it difficult to outline the mastermind behind the scenes.

After thinking for a while, Rosen teleported to the side of Rupert in black, the special envoy of Earl Gauntkin.

This unfortunate fellow was imprisoned in the dungeon of the Fortress of Dawn, and next to him sat Savos, the former president of the Eye of Dawn Mage Society.

When Rosen arrived, the two were arguing with each other.

"Savos, you really raised a good daughter!"

"Rupert, what do you mean by saying this now? Didn't you ask me to arrest someone?"

"I asked you to arrest someone, but I didn't ask you to arrest the wolf cub who killed his father!"

"I've finally figured it out. You Moon City mages are only good at talking. In other aspects, you're no different from trash."

At this moment, Rosen appeared and temporarily isolated Rupert's dungeon from the outside world.

"Rupert, come here, I want to ask you something."

"Who are you?" Rupert was angry.

Rosen leaned against the dungeon wall with his arms folded across his chest, a faint golden glow of divine fire in his eyes as he looked down at Rupert who was sitting on the ground.

"What do you think?"

"Plop~~"

Rupert knelt on the spot and asked, "What do you want, sir?"

"I want to know the details of your life in Moon City. The more detailed the better."

“From the time you can remember, no matter how big or small the matter is, don’t miss any of it.”

"Ah I'm afraid this will take a long time, my Lord."

As soon as Rosen thought about it, he unfolded a time torrent barrier that was ten thousand times stronger: "We have plenty of time."

Rupert immediately began to tell his life story.

He is worthy of being an 18th-ring wizard, with a strong talent for magic and a very early memory. He remembers everything that happened after the age of 3 clearly.

At this time, he followed Rosen's request and told him everything in detail, even the private things like accidentally wetting the bed and peeping at his parents doing things.

Rosen listened carefully and remained silent throughout.

After listening for about 2 hours, he asked, "So, in Moon City, you never have to worry about trivial matters in life. If you encounter any problem, as long as you silently say Juliet in your heart, you will get the service of your corresponding status level in the first place?"

"That's right."

"Has it always been like this?"

"It has always been like this in my memory. My parents, my parents' parents, and even tens of thousands of years ago, everyone has lived this way."

“Has no one ever questioned this situation?”

"Of course there are. Throughout history, there have even been many referendums to discuss whether to reduce reliance on Juliet."

"But most of the votes were negative, because we are all used to being comfortable and no one wants to leave this comfortable life."

Rosen pondered for a moment, then asked, "Who proposed the experiment to explore the bottom line of the space-time ocean?"

"It was proposed by the former sage of the Glorious Plane, Oledes, and he was the one who pushed it forward, which eventually led to the terrible accident in the Eternal Eye Laboratory."

At this point, Rupert said bitterly: "Oledes is a fool, he ruined everything!"

Rosen immediately asked: "Is this sage still here?"

"Dead. There was a huge explosion in the laboratory. The sage was killed on the spot, and all the core experimental mages in the Eternal Eye Laboratory were also killed."

"The extremely high energy flowing freely smashed the basic elements into pieces. Even though we were separated by a plane, we could clearly see the terrifying light produced by the explosion."

"At that moment, the Glorious Glory Plane became the brightest star in the sky and could be clearly seen during the day."

There is no evidence to prove his mistake.

Rosen was silent for a while, then asked, "Is there anyone alive who is close to Oledes? For example, a mentor, or an apprentice, or a parent, brother, wife, etc."

"None at all."

"Oledes is a loner. His parents died long ago, and he never got married. He has no children, let alone apprentices."

Well, the clue we just got is completely broken again.

Rosen thought for a moment and asked again: "The Imperial Elders Council all died in the high-energy war between planes, right?"

"That's right."

"How did they die?"

"I'm not sure. After all, I'm just one of the Earl's retainers. But he's dead anyway."

"The news of their deaths caused a huge sensation in the empire. There were all kinds of stories among the people, but most people believed that it was Antoine who did it."

This is similar to what Egdelyn said.

After that, Rosen asked some more questions, and Rupert tried to answer them, but they were basically worthless.

Feeling that he had asked enough questions, Rosen finally asked, "If the large teleportation array is destroyed, how can you return to Moon City?"

"If I can regain my freedom, I can teleport back directly. Because the real function of the large teleportation array is to transport materials on a large scale, and transporting people is just a by-product."

"Very good, tell me the method of transmission."

Soon, Rosen obtained Rupert's teleportation method, which was basically the same as the method given by Queen Egdelyn. It also had to be reviewed by the Heart of Eternity before the teleportation could be successful.

The only difference is the location you teleport to.

"It seems that the mages of Moon City are a group of hothouse flowers, whose fate is firmly in the hands of Juliet."

After thinking for a while, Rosen carefully scanned Rupert's soul and body, and then recorded all the data in the Fu database for backup.

After doing all this, without waiting for Rupert to beg for mercy, Rosen left the dungeon as soon as he thought about it.

Obviously, the mastermind behind this was very clean, and a lot of time had passed, so most of the clues were lost.

However, there is still one clue.

But this clue is a bit dangerous, and the other party may not be willing to cooperate.

Rosen was not in a hurry to investigate, because the previous operations had consumed a large amount of source material, and he had to accumulate it again before he would have the confidence to face it again.

So he returned to his underground secret room again and began to practice in seclusion.

I got a batch of knowledge about the source of the divine fire from the Goddess of Annihilation, and I also accidentally got the secret of the Mantra Gem, so naturally I had to put them to use.

To be honest, the structure of the sacred fire is extremely delicate, with almost endless details, and it is extremely complicated to carve.

It is said that computer chips on Earth are very sophisticated, but the scale of Shenhuo is more than twenty orders of magnitude smaller than that of chips, and the workload is increased enormously.

After thinking about it for ten days, Rosen felt exhausted.

This is the case with Lai Fu's assistance. If it relies entirely on manpower, it would be tantamount to going to jail, and a life sentence of tens of thousands of years.

"The true gods in the other world are all really ruthless people."

Rosen had no other choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.

While pondering the divine fire, his understanding of the source of creation that belonged to him alone naturally became more profound.

While carving, an idea flashed through his mind.

'It seems there is a shortcut!'

'The Mantra Gem seems to save me a lot of energy.'

The function of the True Word Gem, a true artifact, is to turn the caster's wishes into reality.

Its ability to fulfill wishes is related to the power infused into it.

The stronger the infusion of power, the stronger the ability to realize wishes.

"If I inject the source essence, can it directly help me condense a stronger divine fire?"

In principle, it seems feasible.

Because the source substance is a semi-idealistic existence.

'Give it a try. If it works, it will save you a lot of trouble.'

During this period, the Natural Empire had more and more believers who recognized its ideas every moment, so more and more source essences gathered here.

In addition, the essence of the core of a mortal's soul is not disposable, it is being restored every moment, but the recovery speed is not fast.

Due to various factors, Rosen's speed in acquiring source material is getting faster and faster.

This gave him great confidence in conducting source material experiments.

He began to experiment again and again.

After about hundreds of experiments, many conclusions were obtained.

"The truth gem is effective, but it has limitations."

"Each time the divine fire is created through the Mantra Gem, its source strength can only be 10% higher than the source of the Mantra Gem."

"The divine fire is too delicate. It takes at least 36 hours for the True Word Gem to condense the divine fire."

"After condensing a stronger divine fire, the soul core will experience the phenomenon of 'source synchronization', making the strength of all the source in my soul equal to that of the new divine fire."

"Stronger source essence can condense stronger mantra gems."

This is huge good news.

This means that as long as Rosen follows the cycle of 'Divine Fire - Gem - Divine Fire', he can increase the level of Divine Fire at a rate of 10% in 36 hours.

This process is like using low-precision machine tools to grind out high-precision parts, and then using high-precision parts to build high-precision machine tools, and then proceeding step by step to finally achieve ultra-high-precision processing machine tools.

This is several orders of magnitude faster than Rosen's speed of figuring it out bit by bit.

But there is a drawback.

"The biggest disadvantage is that the source energy consumption is huge, and the further you go, the greater the consumption will be."

“With my current efficiency in acquiring essence far exceeding that of an ordinary True God, I can hardly hold on.”

"I have to gather more believers."

In this regard, Rosen has huge potential for improvement.

"If the natural plane has more children and cultivates more like-minded talents, the population can be increased by at least three times."

"With a little effort on the Nahuat plane, we can also gain a large number of believers."

"The Void Gods from other planes are no match for me. I can also start infiltrating and make arrangements in advance."

If all goes well, within three generations the number of his followers will reach tens of billions.

After confirming the future believer development plan, Rosen allocated half of the computing power to start implementing the plan.

The other half of the computing power began to focus on increasing the strength of the divine fire.

He did not use all the source energy to increase the strength of the divine fire, but instead kept 50% of the source energy as a backup.

Time seems nothing during cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, six months have passed.

Rosen used this almost bug-proof method, consuming a huge amount of source energy that ordinary true gods could not imagine, and increased the strength of the divine fire to 0.99 rings.

Just one step away from breaking through.

In fact, you can continue to raise it, but the source material consumption is too great and you can't bear it.

Furthermore, if the strength of the divine fire breaks through the first divine ring, he will not be able to stay in the mortal world and must enter the divine realm, which is the Sun Ring.

But he was not prepared to enter the Solar Ring.

Due to various reasons, Rosen temporarily ended his retreat.

He could clearly feel that his strength had greatly increased compared to before, and at the same time, he had also accumulated a huge amount of source essence.

In addition, he also used the Mantra Gem to greatly enhance the performance of the four existing source magics.

"This should be enough to face the mortal incarnation of Filiqis."

After returning to the ground, the first thing to do is naturally to contact the mortal incarnation of the Goddess of Annihilation.

Of course, he couldn't do it before, but after what happened before, he deliberately retained a trace of the other person's soul.

With the help of this soul, he easily located the other party's position.

"Philippes, I want to see you."

"roll!"

"I have something very important to discuss with you, something that concerns our future destiny."

The other party was silent for a while, then replied again.

"If you have the guts, pass it to me."
