Chapter 233

He beckoned toward Khorne.

Khorne, whose body was now increasingly massive and had already evolved toward the direction of a small giant beast, instantly lost its steady style of squatting on the side; with a push of its legs, it jumped over directly, looking at Louis affectionately, its tail behind it also swaying gently.

Louis showed a soft smile, stroking its dog head, "You've worked hard."

Khorne licked Louis's palm with its tongue.

Sitting in the car.

Louis closed his eyes to rest.

Louis had arrangements for the future of the three big dogs, but now it seemed that the future regarding Khorne needed to be fine-tuned.

After all, if there was no merit, there was still hard work; he had been a bit biased all along.

Rubbing his temples, Louis began to think about what to do next.

Mainly two things.

First, searching for evil spirits, monsters, demons, etc., with a focus on demons, in order to refine them, break through bottlenecks, and accelerate the pace of cultivation.

Second, preparing for the ascension to godhood; since the ascension technique required celestial phenomena to perform the ritual, it was of course impossible for it to be simple.

Anything involving a ritual was never uncomplicated.

Like in ancient times, the construction of the Star-Plucking Tower, the Star-Observing Platform, the Wind-Listening Pavilion, etc., was a major project, not to mention that it also required setting up different town-objects in different directions according to Feng Shui; it could be said to be an extremely massive project.

In an ancient context, it was no wonder it would be denounced by ministers as wasting manpower and money.

Of course, the difficulty was directly proportional to the scale of the ritual.

The larger the scale of the ritual, the better the effect after completion, naturally.

And the ritual Louis was preparing this time was naturally massive in scale; after all, the scale of this celestial phenomenon was also truly rare, and the opportunity was once in a millennium; he had to grasp it.

What happened in 2000 was the relatively rare Eight-Star Alignment celestial phenomenon; while in 1999, the even rarer Cross-Star Alignment celestial phenomenon occurred, which was a star phenomenon rarer than the Eight-Star Alignment.

And consistent with Christian doctrine, the turn of the century from 1999 to 2000.

Two kinds of star phenomena, one symbolic meaning.

Most importantly, the symbolic meaning of the turn of the century referred to the process from 1999 to 2000, so the Eight-Star Alignment and Cross-Star Alignment star phenomena could be connected and calculated together, and both could be utilized.

Two rare star phenomena plus a symbolic meaning consistent with Christianity that could encompass them.

Such a celestial phenomenon was simply unheard of.

Such a ritual naturally had to be vast and boundless in scale, and the duration would also be very long, from the beginning of the Cross-Star Alignment to the end of the Eight-Star Alignment, a full nine months.

Under such circumstances, just covering the state of Florida was no longer enough.

According to Louis's estimation, the scale of this ritual would probably have to cover the entire United States.

It was fortunate that it was modern times; if it were ancient times, it would probably have exhausted countless people, and it wouldn't necessarily be completed within the specified deadline.

Thanks to technology, making the mysterious more convenient.

Pressing his temples hard, Louis's brain began to calculate the coverage area and countries of the ritual.

The brain, strengthened by cultivation, was running wildly.

The general shapes, areas, rivers, etc., of the major states of the United States appeared in Louis's mind, and he began to outline, draw, distinguish, and determine the locations.

Forty-eight contiguous states, two overseas states...

It wasn't until the vehicle was about to drive back that Louis opened his eyes, his eyes full of fatigue, and he whispered.

"Three years, at least three years, for this project to be completed."

"Moreover, the power of the Kano Group must be fully exerted, and even continue to grow."

"During this period, if possible, I must also obtain as much help as possible."

According to Louis's rough calculation, he arrived at the specific time: three years.

This time didn't seem long or short, but if you looked at the entire United States, it was too short.

"Hoo~"

"Let's perform a detailed measurement later; in addition, I must hand over the Feng Shui measurement in this regard to Emma and the others; when the time comes, let them be black slaves and go to other major states to survey for me."

Louis thought "viciously," but this was really what Louis needed to do; it was exactly when he needed to use them.

At this time.

Screech—

A slight braking sound rang out, and Louis glanced at the house, "We're here."

Getting out of the car, looking at Carrie who suddenly popped out of the house, Louis couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and before he could speak.

Carrie had already floated over quickly, very fast; it looked like her control over telekinesis had risen again.

After Carrie came over, she didn't speak either, just crossed her arms and leaned tightly behind Louis, like a bodyguard.

Louis shook his head and walked toward the house.

Behind him.

The driver smiled as he watched this scene, "Youth—"

Unfortunately, adults no longer had youth, so he decided to go to the club to see if there were any relatively youthful girls, so he could re-experience the feeling of youth.

Not to mention the driver, that old lecher.

After Louis returned home, he saw that Emma, Madison, and Maria were all there, baking a roast chicken, but it looked like the progress was not going smoothly.

Not to mention the billowing black smoke, the skin of the roast chicken had turned into a circle of charred black; one look and you knew it was a failure.

The three looked at each other.

In the end, they didn't know who started it first, but in short, they started blaming each other.

Emma maintained a proper and reserved smile, "I remember, I seem to have plucked the feathers after killing the chicken, and didn't do anything else after that; by the way, what was the temperature of the oven?"

Just as Madison was about to answer, Maria stopped her and glanced sideways at Emma, "What responsibility are you secretly trying to shirk?"

"I was responsible for the oven, but I remember you seemed to have secretly approached the oven, right?"

Maria seemed to be in the sub-personality state of Elan, her words sharp and unceremonious, without a hint of cowardice.

Emma didn't change her expression and spread her hands, "I know you sisters have a good relationship, but there's no need to target me like this, right? And, are you really good sisters? Oh, I didn't mean you, El! an!"

Her speech became somewhat meaningful, with an implication.

"What do you mean? This roast chicken was prepared for Madison to celebrate going to Hollywood; do you think I, as Madison's friend, would deliberately sabotage it? Your means of sowing discord are too low-level, aren't they?!"

Maria, who retorted like this, didn't see the suddenly complicated look in Madison's eyes behind her.

After all, Maria and Elan, although they were in a main-sub personality relationship, ultimately had different personalities; was Elan really her friend?

Madison stopped talking.

The smile on Emma's face deepened a little.

"I didn't say that, oh; this is just what you said yourself..."

"You..."

"..."

The scheming among the three girls made Louis, who had just returned, smile at the corner of his mouth.

He just liked watching women fight; arguing was also not bad, and he could just happen to observe their personality changes.

For example, Emma seemed to have evolved, or rather, her endurance had become stronger, and she had become better at disguising herself, not as easily broken as before.

Madison, on the other hand, was impulsive and irritable; she was really stupid.

Shaking his head.

Seeing that the three were always just having a war of words and had no intention of taking action, Louis felt quite bored and walked in with Carrie on his own.

!!!

The moment they saw Louis.

This war of words ended.

Louis pretended not to see what they were doing just now; after asking about the situation of the three and chatting a little, he went upstairs.

He was a little tired.

The work during this period was a bit too busy, especially the deduction of the ritual location just now, which was even more exhausting.

And the work in the next few days would also be very busy: teaching them survey methods, going to see the situation of the Indian tribes, etc...

After dealing with it, he would have to go to Massachusetts; however, although he was going to college, he already had ideas about what to do after he actually went there.

But now, he needed to rest.

To have a good rest.

Seeing Louis go upstairs.

Emma's eyes rolled, and she quietly disappeared.

A moment later, Maria and Madison, who were still sulking, discovered that Emma had disappeared, and simultaneously changed their expressions and looked at the second floor; the faint calling sound had already indicated everything, and they said bitterly, "This thieving cat!"
