Chapter 302 Drain the blood
of Dinghai Shenzhu?
The only string of beads Wang Ran could think of that was related to the gods was Zhao Gongming's Dinghai Shenzhu, which had appeared in "The Romance of the Gods" and was a very famous magic weapon with the power to evolve the worlds of the heavens.
Thinking of the mirror worlds outside, Wang Ran was somewhat certain that this string of beads was Zhao Gongming's Dinghai Shenzhu, and his heart suddenly became hot.
Although he also had some other magic weapons, they were all in tatters, such as the immortal rope, the immortal gourd, the three-pointed two-edged sword, etc., and they could not exert their full power, and were even less powerful than the star-shattering cannon of technological civilization.
But this string of Dinghai Shenzhu was different.
Judging from the halo it emits, it is in good condition, perhaps in its heyday. The ancients used it to create a huge number of mirror worlds, which further proves that it contains considerable energy.
However, "The Romance of the Gods" mentioned that there are a total of 24 Dinghai Shenzhu, but this string of beads only has 23 beads. Where did the missing one go?
The most important thing for magic weapons is integrity. If one of the 24 Dinghai Shenzhu is missing, the overall power may be greatly reduced.
"Are there only 23 beads in total?" Wang Ran pondered, "Is there another one?"
Colonchi was surprised, because Wang Ran was right, there was indeed another bead, but how did the future people know this, was it also through the ability of prediction?
"There is indeed one, but that bead is completely broken." Cologne's face was full of regret. The ancients also knew that if that bead was not broken, their "Miracle Bracelet" might really create miracles and help them defeat the giant beasts. "That kind of damage is irreparable. We carefully preserved it for two thousand years, but it finally turned into powder and disappeared."
The ancients found the Dinghai Shenzhu in a depression where time was still. At that time, the 24th bead was still on the bead string, but that bead was hit by some hard object, and the crack went deep into the heart of the bead.
After the state of time stillness was lifted, the bead fell into an irreversible process of disintegration.
The ancients carefully cared for it for more than 2,000 years, and tried every possible means, but they still failed to prevent the beads from disintegrating. Therefore, there are
only 23 Dinghai Shenzhu left out of the original 24 beads. The ancients did not know how much power the Dinghai Shenzhu had lost because the 24th Dinghai Shenzhu had already been broken when it fell into their hands. They only had 23 Dinghai Shenzhu from the beginning to the end.
"I see." Wang Ran showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but this emotion quickly disappeared. After all, even if there were only 23 Dinghai Shenzhu left, these were 23 Dinghai Shenzhu in good condition, much better than the half-dead magic weapons in his hands, and who said that the missing bead could not be replenished?
He was the descendant of Nüwa.
Perhaps he could use [Repairing the Sky] to make up for the defects of the Dinghai Divine Pearl and restore the lost 24th Dinghai Divine Pearl, or perhaps he could not make up for the defect caused by the lack of a pearl.
"On behalf of the current human beings, I thank you again." Wang Ranfa thanked Kolonchi and the ancients represented by Kolonchi from the bottom of his heart. He knew that if the ancients had not fought desperately, the giant beasts would have ruled the earth and new humans would not have been born.
In addition, as a savior who has saved mankind many times, no one is more qualified than him to thank the ancients on behalf of the current human beings.
Kolonchi was silent for a long time, nodded stiffly, and then sat back to his original place.
"Can you please leave here for a while?" He paused, "I want to be quiet for a while. That war was a long time ago for you, but it was yesterday for me."
A look of pain appeared on his face.
For some people, it may not be a kind of happiness, but it may be a kind of suffering, a huge suffering that ordinary people can neither understand nor bear.
"I can understand." Wang Ran turned and left.
The ancients have disappeared in the smoke of history. Kolonchi is the only survivor. Kolonchi came to this era by stopping time. For Kolonchi, he lost everything in an instant.
This kind of complete loss was just a feeling of hesitation at the beginning, but this emotion will soon ferment into a huge hole in the heart. If it is not properly dealt with, this huge hole will swallow people from the inside out.
However, since the ancients chose Kolonchi to be their witness and gravekeeper, Kolonchi must have a good psychological quality. Wang Ran believed that Kolonchi could overcome this emotion and cheer up soon.
When Wang Ran walked to the door, he stopped and whispered, "At least you won."
Kolonchi was slightly startled.
Wang Ran turned around slowly, grabbed the handle on the stone door, and closed the palace door for Kolonchi in a huge roar.
He actually had a lot of questions to ask Kolonchi, but Kolonchi was in a low mood now, and his questions were not urgent, so he was willing to wait until Kolonchi calmed down before communicating with him.
"When the ancients built this place, the situation was critical. They used everything they could, so there are only artworks in the palace, no treasures or cultivation resources, but fortunately they left behind the mirror world and Dinghai Shenzhu."
Wang Ran held the Dinghai Shenzhu, feeling its warm touch, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Although he didn't know how to use the Dinghai Shenzhu yet, he had a way to figure it out.
[Start simulation]
[On the first day, you comprehend the Dinghai Shenzhu]
[You figured out the ritual method of the Dinghai Shenzhu]
[You dripped blood on the Dinghai Shenzhu]
[You infused a strand of divinity into the Dinghai Shenzhu]
[Your progress in refining the Dinghai Shenzhu increased by one ten-thousandth]
“Does it take ten thousand strands of divinity to refine the Dinghai Shenzhu?” Wang Ran looked at the text in the simulator with a bitter smile on his face, “Even if I can condense a strand of divinity every day, it will take more than thirty years!”
[Do you think it takes 230,000 strands of divinity and 230,000 drops of blood to refine the Dinghai Shenzhu]
Wang Ran:???
"So one strand of divine nature can only increase the refining progress of a Dinghai Divine Pearl by one ten-thousandth?" Wang Ran looked at the small words in front of him and felt his scalp tingling. "Two hundred and thirty thousand drops of blood, my goodness. This is going to drain me dry!"
One drop of blood is about 0.05 milliliters, 230,000 drops of blood is more than 10,000 milliliters, and 1,000 milliliters is equal to one liter, which means he needs to draw out 10 liters
of blood to refine the Dinghai Shenzhu. The normal blood volume of a human is 4.2 to 4.8 liters, so he has to drain himself twice to get enough blood to sacrifice 23 Dinghai Shenzhu.
