This seemingly ordinary gem possessed three extraordinary abilities: matter transformation, high-efficiency healing, and soul capturing. It was an all-in-one miracle artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to resist any longer, Alan stepped forward, intent on entering the rift and retrieving the Stone of Sage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed woman's sudden voice halted Alan just as he was about to step through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A sacred relic like the Stone of Sage? You really thought it would let itself be taken so easily?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The immense vital energy within it isn't just for show. After countless ages, that power has certainly evolved into a primal consciousness of its own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something akin to a guardian spirit. It might seem dormant and weak now, but the moment you step in, it will awaken. And once it does, absorbing it will be nearly impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what should I do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan now looked like a student eager to learn, standing still and awaiting her next instruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do this: manifest a portion of Hell into the material world, and use it to lure the Stone of Sage into entering it voluntarily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan nodded and immediately closed his eyes, focusing on his connection to Hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, behind him slowly unfurled a surreal scene—a phantasmal tableau of Hell, filled with roaring flames and countless tormenting visions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the fiery illusion spread out behind him, Alan noticed something peculiar: the Stone of Sage, deep within the rift, had suddenly drawn much closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the strange heartbeat sound that had been echoing around him came to an abrupt halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gemstone transformed into a mass of crimson light—and without warning, it shot straight into Alan's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Urgh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan cried out in pain instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel it clearly—every cell in his body was screaming in agony as the red light surged through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his soul felt assaulted, as though it were being torn apart by an invisible force, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, he was like a small boat in a raging storm, tossed about in endless waves, trying to stay afloat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One misstep, and he'd lose control of his own body entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior... this—this doesn't feel right! Why does it hurt so much?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan called out for help, panic creeping into his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the black-robed woman fell silent for a long while before speaking again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm starting to think... maybe it's still too soon for you to be touching the Stone of Sage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do I do—what the hell do I do now?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan's mind was spinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still only had a vague understanding of the Stone of Sage—let alone the Hell dimension within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were it not for the black-robed woman's guidance, he would've been completely in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because of that, now that something unexpected had happened, he was like a headless chicken, unable to think of any solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he could do was pray for a miracle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then... a miracle really did happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hellish landscape behind him—once vivid and raging—suddenly faded away entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its place, a blood-red crystal heart emerged from Alan's chest, pulsing powerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan was stunned. When he looked down, he realized something else: his entire body had become transparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only that crystal heart remained vividly visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the heart burst into a blinding light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bathed in the radiance, Alan felt a strange but overwhelming sensation of comfort and release—like soaking in a hot spring during the coldest depths of winter, holding a glass of vintage wine in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, the wine glass shattered, and the sharp fragments pierced his skin, while the surrounding spring slowly turned into icy crystals that stabbed into his flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Stone of Sage was releasing vast amounts of vital energy, healing his battered body and torn soul, the process of binding it to him was equally destructive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a brutal cycle—one of annihilation and rebirth—repeating over and over within him until, finally, both extremes slowly settled into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew how much time passed before Alan finally opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision was filled with countless white specks floating around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking closely, he realized they were stars embedded in the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath and lifted his head slightly—only to feel gravity suddenly pulling him downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body plummeted rapidly toward the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan didn't resist. He let himself fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before he hit the ground, several blood-red tendrils shot out from his chest, looking like thorny branches. They wove themselves into a shield-like shape that absorbed the impact of his landing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, Alan sat up quickly and asked the black-robed woman, \"What are these threads?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're the physical manifestation of vital energy,\" she explained. \"They can act on their own to protect you in moments of danger. But they can also be shaped into powerful weapons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Try visualizing a hard material in your mind and applying it to the vital energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan followed her instructions. Instantly, the threads sprouting from his chest crystallized into a diamond-like substance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diamond—the hardest known material in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan's face lit up with excitement. With matter transformation and vital energy combined, his offensive and defensive capabilities had grown more versatile than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he were to face Duke Mogan again—the powerful mage who could draw metallic minerals from the earth—Alan now believed he could win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing his overconfidence, the black-robed woman let out a cold laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Stone of Sage is still just an external force. Thinking you can rely on it alone to defeat a tier-diamond mage is arrogant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, then what's the point of having it?\" Alan scratched his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman sighed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This being your first Sealed Artifact, the Stone of Sage is more of a lesson than a weapon. It helps you understand what Sealed Artifacts are, so the next time you encounter one, you won't be so easily thrown off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, since you're not the original master of the Stone of Sage, its effectiveness is limited. As things stand now, you're probably only able to utilize about a quarter of its total vital energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But that's already more than enough. In this world, very few people even know what vital energy is, let alone how to control it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, this power is best used as a surprise tactic—something unexpected in battle. Your top priority right now is still the same: sharpen your magical skill, temper your physical body, and find a high-quality staff to absorb.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the end, external power is unreliable. Only your own strength is true strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1123,"2026-06-06T15:56:33.624Z",1,"novelbin.me","ef428aeba620f26f8609997542c0c93f9d299496220e10ffdbeeac7d60e9b7ce","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-552","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-650",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
