Chapter 442 Hot Spring Boiled Eggs
"How do you feel when you have the power?"
Oriana touched her head with both hands, then stroked her way down her neck. "I feel better than I used to," she smiled.
Feige let out a "hmm", noncommittal, but Black Bun glared back at her and purred menacingly in a deep voice. Although Black Bun is only about the size of a three- or four-month-old puppy, Oriana is still afraid of it to the core. "I don't joke anymore. It doesn't feel good to have divine power, and my body seems to be rejecting it. Feiqi, the divine power continues to drain, I'm afraid you have to find me some divine power crystals often, otherwise I will soon become an ordinary person. ”
"There is no ordinary person like you who can't be killed. Feige continued to make his way to the bottom of the crater, the snow below was decreasing, the temperature was starting to rise slightly, and the air was moistening. "You just need to make people think you're a god, and you don't need to show your powers all the time, so try to save a little bit. By the way, what is your divine power?"
"I don't know. Oriana was stunned for a moment, then looked at Feiqi with expectant eyes: "What kind of divine power should I have?
"All I know is that divine power can strengthen your abilities in all aspects, allowing you to influence your surroundings more freely. So theoretically you're less likely to die, but that doesn't seem to be the same as before. Feige shrugged and said, "You've got almost two years left, enough for you to figure something out." ”
"It seems that you really don't worry about losing control of me at all. ”
"It's wise for you to think that way. Feige took a deep breath, then leapt into the fog below. He landed half a metre before retouching the ground. "As I expected, in the end. ”
Oriana cautiously probed over, and found that the slope had stopped beneath her feet, and a warm sensation came from the soles of her feet, and some deep pulsation was mixed with the warmth. "We're standing on the crater, and how thick is the shell under our feet?"
"It's just thick enough," Feige said, "it seals in the pressure, and only the heat keeps coming up – and the snow and water here cool it down and form a steady state." If no one bothered it, it was estimated that it would not erupt in a few hundred years. ”
"So you're going to let it erupt and use its heat to change the temperature environment of the entire region?"
"It's not that simple, the mana required to change the climate and environment of a region is immeasurable, and I don't want to waste all my power here. "I'm going to make it power my circle, make it a hot water lake, and then let the water carry the heat throughout the area, like the warm water pipes used in castles," Feige said. ”
Feige crouched down and put his hands on the ground. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, blowing away all the fog around it. At this point, Orianna can clearly see the entire crater bottom, which is roughly in a circle, slightly lower in the middle than the surrounding area, and the heat is relatively concentrated. A small lake formed by melting snow spreads all over the center, and the water vapor is still steaming after being blown away, but the water surface is blown by the strong wind and creates chaotic ripples.
Suddenly, the whole earthquake shook and Oriana stumbled and almost fell. She was sure that the ground beneath her feet was a little lower than before, and that there were many new cracks that extended outward around Feige. Will this earthquake blow up the crater? Oriana knows she won't die, but she doubts that Feige will survive the same circumstances.
"No, he's going to be fine. She pressed the excitement she had just wanted, and the impulse brought by this divine power was obviously irrational. As she examined herself, she felt more and more that divine power would make her arrogant, but fortunately she had seen the power of the Creator and Feiqi, and was alert enough to the fate of arrogance, so she was not fooled.
"I'll stay away and don't bother you. Orianna smiled and stepped back. She noticed that Black Bun was still following her, saliva dripping from the corners of her mouth, and a familiar sense of threat came over her, and she knew that she needed to make the right decision. "I won't betray your master, the conditions he gave are very good, you can rest assured. ”
"I'm not its owner. Feige said from afar, "You don't have to go farther. I want you to look at this circle and remember what it is for. An important task for you here is to supervise and control its operation. ”
"I don't know your kind of magic!"
"Divine powers can replace magic, they essentially work the same. ”
For different people, Feige's knowledge will also be different. If Thunder White was here, he would say, "Divine power, like magic, is a way and means for the soul to change the world." "If it were Shani, he would talk more, telling the pros and cons of divine power and magic, especially the divine power that locks the soul and gives a cap on one's ability to change the world.
Feige made Oriana, not Shani, a "god" here, in order to prevent Shani from being bewitched by divine powers, resulting in her soul being locked up. Divine power, possessing a strong contagious power, is full of temptation for mortals. The good want to use it to do good, and the evil want to do evil even more, and whether it is good or evil, the process of using divine power will make people thirst for divine power more and gradually fall into it. Feige believes that Xia Ni will become a good god under the influence of divine powers, but it is likely that she will not return to mortality.
Orianna is different. This guy's "immortality" has very unique properties, which include soul immortality. Feige tried, and no matter how much he hurt her, Oriana's soul did not suffer any real depletion, and would always remain or return to its original state. This means that it is difficult for her to progress, and it is also difficult for her to be affected by divine powers.
If there really is a god here, there is a good chance that he will not obey Feige's orders and end up causing trouble for him. Perhaps only Orianna can maintain herself while bearing the divine power - even Feige does not dare to guarantee whether she will maintain herself after enjoying the divine power, so he maintains an absolutely repulsive attitude towards the divine power of the old man.
"If I had divine power, it would be much easier to do this now. Feige took a deep breath, returned his attention to his palms, and pressed down hard. Mana surged, pouring from both arms into the ground, and the earth shook again. More cracks stretched outward, and Feiqi's mana was in it, forming a rudimentary circle between "natural" and "artificial".
There can be a million changes in the world, and the infinite zero rune will choose the one that most satisfies Feiqi's heart, which is why earthquakes and mana can form a circle. This ability is similar to the "effect" in altering cause and effect, but it is not as obvious and deliberate as distorting reality. Some of the stronger gods will have similar abilities, but most of these gods do not understand the mechanism and root cause of this ability.
Fei Qi exerted his strength again, and after the third shock, his magic circle had already formed, and the surging mana flowed in it, showing very obvious spatial energy fluctuations outward. At this time, the ground began to tremble constantly, as if dozens of miniature earthquakes were brewing underneath. Orianna warned loudly, "Be careful, the volcano seems to be about to erupt!"
"Don't be nervous, it's all expected. Fei Qi took out the silent golden dragon egg from the space bag and placed it at the core of the circle, and then pressed his right fist against it. The infinite zero rune shrouded the golden dragon egg, and through it, it continuously injected energy into the circle.
Energy...... Orianna furrowed her brows suddenly, she felt the type of energy that should not have appeared: the evil aura of hell. Under her gaze, Feige took on the form of a contract demon, a red horn draped in a contract that only the most authentic hell devil could present.
The powerful evil aura was concentrated on those contracts, and then those long scroll-like contracts pierced into the golden dragon's eggs and began to affect the golden dragon's soul. Golden dragons are good-natured creatures with no vices other than being nosy and inevitably fighting devils. Fei Qi wants to raise this golden dragon, of course, to get rid of its "bad habits".
This transformation can only be done in the dragon egg stage. Once born, even a young dragon has an unimaginable temper. All true dragons are the product of rules and energy, the "rules" part of which basically maps the outer planes, such as Heavenly Mountain, Hell, and the Abyss, but not as extreme, and the "energy" part of the "energy" comes from the common type of elementals, and occasionally some rarer ones, such as shadows, necromancy, or astral qualities.
Each dragon egg has its own tendencies, and the golden dragon is orderly, kind, and flame. This tendency is difficult to modify, but it will only be completely fixed after the shell is broken. The process of breaking the shell, Feige understands it as the process of "the final localization of some kind of rule" with his own body of knowledge. Before it hits the ground, it can still be modified with enough patience.
Having infinite zero runes to control the outcome (chance) makes this modification much less difficult. The evil forces of hell are the triggers, and then Fitch can control the results of the "good and evil counteracting". His soul power entered the dragon egg with the contract, and the magic also penetrated into it, adding two more characteristic energies that belonged to Feiqi in addition to the "fire element". When this dragon is born, it will become Feige's "kin" and will be his offspring at the soul level.
"Why don't you just give it a servant contract. This kind of contract is not difficult for you at all, is it?" Orianna sighed, bowed slightly to Feiqi, and said, "Since you have controlled the people of the world, why should this dragon be an exception?"
"I didn't become Emperor because of the Covenant Demon's ability to control, but because I was able to do what they needed. "Feige constantly injected magic runes into the dragon's eggs, washing the dragon's soul in the same way as he sharpened the magic matrix. "This dragon will be born with the gift of controlling the magic circle, and it will be your helper to manage the land until the task I gave him is completed. ”
Orianna thought about it carefully, and then ruled out the possibility that the dragon was an overseer. Even if a golden dragon learned magic and hellfire or anything, it wouldn't be able to threaten her. Only the strange creature of the Black Bun is the natural enemy. "Feiqi, will this dragon listen to me? Wait, will it be you and me?"
"You're thinking too much, it's not your dragon. Fitch continued to control the circle with one hand, and with the other pulled a snake head out of his pocket. Orianna fixed her eyes and saw that the snake's head was empty. No, it looks like the skin of a snake.
"Shani's dandruff, and a little bit of blood I stole from. Feige incorporated these as spell materials into the dragon egg, then raised his hand and withdrew his mana, leaving the dragon egg in place. After doing all this, he returned to his human form, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked towards Oriana.
Orianna was very disappointed: "Shani is only of Medusa blood, I have met him many times, and her abilities do not enhance your dragon eggs. If you compare to me, it's far behind! I can contribute...... One finger, so that your dragon will be even more powerful if you want to die!"
"I don't care if her bloodline is strong or not, I just want this dragon to belong to me and hers. Feige looked tired, found a volcanic rock, and sat down directly. "Whether the dragon sees her or she sees the dragon, she will have a sense of soul connection, and that's the most important thing. And with this soul connection, Xia Ni can also have a longer life......"
The ground shook violently, directly shaking Oriana off the ground. As soon as she stood still, she said, "Feiqi, take care of your eyes for now! The volcano is about to erupt! Why don't you teleport away?"
"It's okay, just wait and see. Feige pointed to the dragon egg.
Oriana looked at the dragon egg with the confidence of "I can't die anyway", only to realize that it had changed. It was in the center of Feiqi's magic circle, and at this time, many magic runes and lines of magic circles had climbed to the surface of the dragon egg. At the same time, the dragon egg burned a deep vertical shaft downward, piercing through the heavy protective shell and directly into the raging magma layer!
It stands to reason that it should have erupted by now, and the tremendous pressure and scorching flames should have tossed over the rocks and launched the entire crater into the sky. However, the energy of the volcano is concentrated on the golden dragon egg, and after it first absorbs and controls some of it, the rest is transmitted to the magic circle. The energy looked like flowing magma, slowly filling up all the cracks Fitch had left behind.
Since Feige added the component of the magic matrix to the dragon egg, the energy produced after it filtered the volcanic lava also had the characteristics of magical mana. The crater's circle began to hum, quickly masking the shaking of the ground. Half a minute later, it started to rain.
Orianna scratched her head, a little unsure of the weather. It was snowing outside, but the surrounding cliffs blocked the wind from all directions, and the snow directly above it turned into mist and was blown away, and several rare trickles of the hillside flowed through the cracks to the outside of the crater. It shouldn't rain here, unless there's a blizzard outside.
"I've opened up the water elemental plane. Feige pointed to the circle below: "It keeps stealing water, and then it is heated by the crater, and it becomes a hot spring lake, and then it flows down to nourish the land. The magic array in the golden dragon egg will control this process, about a year. In a year's time, the eggs will almost hatch, a new balance of fire and water will be established, and it will be the source of life for the entire region. ”
"Do you need me to take over the dragon egg in a year's time?" asked Oriana.
"You are the insurance measure I left behind. Feige nodded, "If the water is too strong, you'll weaken or smash the circle below - but that's not a chance to happen." I expect the volcano to gain the upper hand, so be prepared to drain the lava out and provide energy for the settlements here. You have a year to plan, and by the way, you can practice using divine powers. Normally, you don't have to worry about a volcanic eruption, and by that time it was generally tamed. At most, there is a temper tantrum, not hysteria. ”
"Well, even if it breaks out anyway, I can't die, so it's not a loss, right?"
"You have divine powers, and if it breaks out, it means that you are not capable of participating in my plans. Feiqi smiled and said, "You are immortal, you can indeed have nothing, but you must not be worthless." ”
