After being reminded of this, Qi Ji also remembered this matter, but she didn't plan to make another bottle of potion, or simply give Hill a BUFF of infinite stamina.
After all, I gave Hill that bottle of potion yesterday to save some trouble. It was only a day's journey anyway, so there was no need to waste time on boring hunting and resting.
But now it’s different. If the two want to return to the Last Kingdom, they need to walk at least more than 600 kilometers!
This is not a small number. In this place with no means of transportation and no modern roads, such a long journey is almost an astronomical figure, and it would have been an impossible task for the people of the Last Kingdom in the past.
Even though Hill has initially mastered the "flame" divine aggregate, the evil spirits generally cannot pose a threat to her personally. It will take at least half a month to cross this distance relying solely on human strength.
In this situation, if Qi Ji still forced her to cheat, it would be meaningless and the meaning of this experience would be completely lost. It would be better to just take her back directly, which would only take a moment.
"Hmm... well, let's put it this way."
She held her chin with one hand and pondered for a moment, then her brows suddenly relaxed and she smiled:
"I can't conjure up something like this again... But I can give you an idea."
====================
We mourn the 1942 children in the Czech village of Lidice who died in the Nazi massacre on June 6, 10, and all the children around the world who died in fascist wars of aggression.
We have no way of knowing whether the deceased can rest in peace after death, we can only strive for happiness for the living while they are still alive.
Chapter 486 Artificial Life
"Success!"
When the fourth dark spirit sank into the quietly rolling gray fog, Great Elder Kansangstana let out an excited shout from under his large, wide cloak.
Elder Julian, who had been guarding the bottom of the second layer of the "Abyss" for two sleepless days and nights, suddenly brightened up his eyes, and the accumulated fatigue on his pale and thin face disappeared in an instant.
"Kansangstana, have you found a way?!"
His tone, which always seemed to carry a cold and indifferent tone, was also tinged with uncontrollable excitement.
"The automatic transmission mechanism of this 'grey fog' is indeed not completely random."
Kansanstana said in a horrible and indescribable voice:
"I have confirmed that it has a certain pattern. As long as there are enough samples, I am... 80% sure that I can find a way to influence its operation within a week.
"That way, we can temporarily 'close' or 'slow down' that transmission mechanism to allow our personnel or supplies to pass through."
Kansangstana is the most special one among the current seven elders.
Not only did he personally experience the eighth "Filthy Tide" eighteen years ago, but more importantly... he should have been dead.
In that unprecedentedly tragic and terrible disaster, the great elder was besieged by tens of thousands of foul ghosts in a confrontation. Faced with such a situation, except for the "Pure White Pope", even the most powerful Silent Soul Wizard could not survive.
The result of that battle was no miracle. Great Elder Kansangstana was killed by the evil spirits that attacked like a landslide and tsunami, and even his body could not be recovered.
However, on the seventh day after the Church of Redemption announced the death of Grand Elder Kansangstana, when even the alternate Grand Elder took over his seat, the great "Pure White Gate" sent down an oracle to the Final Church -
The Great Elder Kansangstana was chosen by the great "Pure White Gate" to become the sixth generation "Pure White Pope"!
The "Pure White Gate" bestowed His sacred and precious blessings upon a dead man!
This was a situation that the Last Kingdom had never encountered in more than two hundred years. The entire Church of Redemption was in shock and at a loss.
Only one year had passed since the death of the previous "White Pope", and the "White Gate" had already selected the next generation. This was certainly a good thing for the Last Kingdom, which happened to be facing the disaster of the Filth Tide.
But how can they get a dead person to help?
How can the blessing of the "Pure White Gate" be bestowed upon a person who has been dead for seven days?
No one could explain how it happened, but it happened.
After two days of non-stop and intense discussions among all the top leaders of the Church of Redemption, the Church of Redemption secretly made a shocking decision:
Resurrect Great Elder Kansangstana!
Of course, it is not the real "resurrection" in mythological stories - when a person dies, it is like a light going out, which is impossible to do.
What they really want to do is to use witchcraft, combine the memories and confessions of Kansangstana’s friends, relatives, subordinates, and colleagues, as well as the information revealed by his belongings, to "piece together" a living being as close as possible to Kansangstana's state before his death.
Thus, in a sense, "deceiving"... or, in other words, "persuading" the White Gate to bestow His blessing on this "substitute".
Thus, a "Pure White Pope" was artificially created!
As a result, the Church of Redemption launched an intensive investigation.
The entire mission was divided into two parts. One was to send people to the Last Kingdom to collect the impressions and memories of the great elder from all those who had contact with Kansangstana, as well as to organize and analyze the various items, notes, and policies he left behind.
Strive to restore a character model that is as close to reality as possible.
The second is to arrange senior deacons and high priests who are most proficient in the relevant field of Soul-Silent Witchcraft to conduct research and experiments on "artificial life" day and night.
Responsible for trying to use artificial means to stitch together various flesh, blood, and spirits into a living, conscious person, and to load the Kansangstana character model and inferred memories compiled by the investigation department into it.
This work was carried out in absolute secrecy. Except for a few great elders and a very small number of high-ranking officials of the Church of Redemption, no one in the entire Last Kingdom knew its true identity.
After all, this is not only blasphemy, but also involves certain truths and inside stories that must never be known to the public. The news must be blocked at the highest level of confidentiality.
The secret work lasted for a month. After a dozen "requiem masters" at the peak level chanted the final spell and chant, a familiar figure condensed from the flesh and blood of a large amount of "materials" on the sophisticated and mysterious witchcraft ritual array.
At the same time, the cathedral in the core parish of the Last Kingdom burst out with platinum-colored divine light!
The holy and brilliant light pierced through the lead-black clouds, then fell straight down, penetrating the more than ten-meter-thick soil layer on the top of the secret research base, and enveloped the "resurrected" Great Elder Kansangstana.
At that moment, the man-made Kansangstana was recognized by the "Pure White Gate", and the sacred blessing successfully descended upon the great elder chosen by Him.
However, the sixth "White Pope" that everyone expected did not come into being.
On the contrary, the figure that had been condensed with great difficulty from the ritual altar collapsed in a completely unstoppable manner and turned into a large pool of bloody flesh.
There is no doubt that the Holy See's attempt to "cheat" the White Gate and "cheat" the blessing ultimately failed.
But the "resurrected" Kansangstana did not die. Instead, he successfully inherited the Kansangstana memory and personality model loaded by the researchers, and successfully retained his independent self-awareness.
——In the form of a monster of flesh and blood.
In order to compensate Kansanstana, who was trapped in such physical imprisonment due to the experiment of the Redemption Church, the Church finally decided to let him continue to serve as the Grand Elder and never step down from the position.
The public announcement was that "Great Elder Kansangstana was seriously injured by evil spirits and was on the verge of death. In order to save his life, we had to use immature spiritual medical methods to transform his body into this appearance."
This is undoubtedly a tragedy, but such a horrific and terrifying body is not without benefits for the newly born Kansangstana.
I don't know if it's because of the special form of life, or if it's finally blessed by the grace of the "Pure White Gate".
He has an extremely high level of control over his own spirit and spirituality. Not only is his spiritual power incredibly strong, he can even split his personality on his own and load this independent personality into a spiritual carrier.
Such spiritual entities with independent personalities are called "dark spiritual entities" by Kansanstana.
The dark spirit not only has independent consciousness, but can also establish real-time connection with the Kansangstana body without delay, regardless of distance.
In other words, as long as Kansangstana separated a sufficient number of dark spirits and made them enter the gray fog, theoretically, by analyzing the locations where the dark spirits were teleported, it would be possible to statistically summarize the patterns of their deployment.
With these laws, it is possible to carry out further research.
The premise is that there are enough...

"Enough samples..."
The enthusiasm on Julian's face obviously cooled down after he heard this word.
A solemn and serious expression quickly appeared on his gloomy brows.
"Yes, more than enough."
As if he had sensed something, Kansangstana, who was completely hidden in his cloak and robe among the dark crowd, lowered his voice a bit:
"According to preliminary estimates, it should be at least over a hundred."
If you want to split the dark spirit, you must have a spiritual entity that meets the requirements as a carrier.
Kansanstana can certainly cut his own spirituality, but this is very inefficient.
After all, it takes time to restore one's own spirituality. One can create one dark spirit body a day at best. Moreover, one has to recuperate for a long time after continuous cutting, otherwise it will cause irreversible and serious damage to one's own spirituality.
If he wanted to finish one hundred of them, it would take him who knows how long. Julian couldn't wait that long.
"How many of your 'experimental subjects' are left?" Julian asked with a gloomy face.
Kansangstana was silent for a few seconds as if he was thinking, and slowly reported a number:
"Less than twenty. That's not nearly enough."
In addition to cutting off its own spirituality, the dark spirit can also use other spiritual entities that meet the requirements as carriers.
But that requires a very high level of spiritual entity, and it is not something that can be done by just gathering a bunch of spirituality.
At present, the "material" that is suitable to serve as the carrier of the dark spirit is Kansangstana's "experimental product".
After resuming the position of the Great Elder, because Kansangstana's appearance was too terrifying, he seldom came into contact with people other than the other six Great Elders. Therefore, he devoted most of his time to the study of the Soul-Silent Witchcraft.
Perhaps it is because his life form itself is very suitable for dealing with fields such as artificial life, biological transformation, and life creation, his research directions are basically highly related to these.
Recently, he has been mainly studying how to efficiently and cost-effectively mass-produce biological monsters that have powerful combat capabilities and are sufficiently safe and controllable.
Of course, it is not difficult to create biological monsters. The difficulty lies in how to achieve "efficiency", "low cost" and "mass production".
If successful, it will greatly improve the long-standing shortage of manpower in the Last Kingdom.
However, the situation does not seem optimistic. Last month, a major accident occurred in the experimental workshop he set up on the edge of the headquarters. Half of the test subjects escaped and should have been killed by the evil spirits long ago.
The "raw materials" of those "experimental subjects" are death row prisoners in the prison of the Last Kingdom.
However, the Last Kingdom is already severely short of manpower, and residents are generally not sentenced to death unless they have committed crimes that are truly heinous to both humans and gods.
The number of death row inmates...is not that large.
Not enough.
Julian pinched the bridge of his nose with one hand and lowered his head in deep thought for a long time. His face was completely covered in shadow and his expression could not be seen clearly.
Suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his head, his deep black eyes revealed an extreme coldness and gloom:
"I'll find a way. You make preparations in private first. I'll be able to gather the... 'samples' and send them to you by the afternoon of tomorrow at the latest."
"I'll wait for you here."
Then Julian didn't say anything more, his figure flashed, and the pink mist of "Heart's Gu Dance" and the dark green glow of "Blade's Cunning" poured out from under his robe, wrapping him up and rushing upwards at an extremely fast speed.
The key to saving the Last Kingdom from the centuries-old curse is now within reach...
The envoy of the mysterious outer god "the First Creator", Yao Lingwu, has completely lost contact and his life or death is unknown, and he is most likely in danger.
Now the only direction left is the blood-red ball of light buried in the strange gray fog...
No one knows whether the ball of light will undergo more unpredictable changes if time is allowed to pass.
What if they wait too long and it disappears? What if it becomes ineffective? What if more obstacles arise and they can never reach it again?
Who can guarantee it? ! Who can be responsible? !
There is not a second to waste. There is no time for them to slowly accumulate strength!
This is not an investigation and adventure game where you can leisurely follow a routine step by step. Instead, it is a crucial challenge where the situation changes rapidly and involves the future life and death of hundreds of thousands of people!
There is no time to delay!
No one could see that the stern face was now completely covered with irreconcilable frost, so cold that it was even a little distorted, revealing an extremely creepy meaning.
In order to bring salvation and liberation to all the people of the Last Kingdom, he would do anything.
Any price.
……
…………
……
Just over half an hour later, the figure of the final grand elder of the Holy See rushed out of the "abyss" at the entrance of the ruins of the city and returned to the ground.
