Chapter 324: Deal

【Resurrection Spell】 is merely a seven‑ring spell.

Under normal circumstances, it can only revive a creature that died just thirty minutes ago, and it also requires the corpse to be intact.

However, with the mutated amplification of the power gem, the Divine Spell cast by Naimi Xisi has been almost completely elevated.

The 【Resurrection Spell】 he now wields, compared with the original version, can revive corpses that died within thirty days, and as long as any body tissue remains, it can fully resurrect them.

For revival‑type spells, this can be said to be a tremendous enhancement.

At least, the 【Resurrection Spell】 has shifted from its original emergency‑spell role akin to a "pacemaker" to a strategic spell with a severe limitation (only deaths within 30 days can be revived).

It can be said that the reason priests hold such a lofty status on the Feren Continent is largely due to their resurrection ability.

Aside from the legendary ultimate nine‑ring Divine Spell — 【Complete Resurrection Spell】 — which can revive the dead by the year, no Mage's spell can achieve such a miracle, not even a Legendary spell.

Piercing the boundary between life and death relies on the power of the gods.

What Dan and Ai Lin have witnessed are precisely such beyond‑common‑sense miracles.

Regarding Naimi Xisi's proposal, Ye Ge Luo Wa did not agree immediately, but instead fell into hesitation.

It is not that she distrusts the dragon's abilities; rather, she is genuinely an extremely devout Eastern Orthodox believer, unlike those atheist comrades, and she regards God as her spiritual pillar.

That is also why she loathes and despises any signs that the dragon might be using sorcery.

But

"Lord, if you are watching me, grant me strength and the confidence to reject the devil," Ye Ge Luo Wa whispered, tears streaming down.

Naimi Xisi smiled faintly, not interrupting her prayer. The reason Juan Ce Long did not instantly kill the offending human was that he saw potential in her.

Religion can be said to be the most complex and ancient historical issue in human society; compared with the developed church faith on the Feren Continent, the Earth, which lacks any supernatural phenomena, surprisingly also hosts the Monotheist Church—a colossal entity with billions of followers.

For Naimi Xisi, who was human in a previous life and a dragon in this one, he does not understand where the theists' attachment to faith originates, nor does he grasp the operational rules of church evangelism.

But he is clear about one thing: in a world beyond the Legendary ascension, faith that can gather true divine power is an extremely important presence.

And Earth is a place very suitable for cultivating influence.

Think about it—are there any Crystal Barrier Systems more uniquely blessed than this one?

With no gods treading here, not even powerful primordial life, it means no one competes for believers, and his propagation of faith will not be struck by a true god. At the same time, Magic Net is gradually reviving, fostering the growth of the souls of this Crystal Barrier System's creatures.

As long as this place remains undiscovered, once Naimi Xisi ascends to Legendary, it will be his best base for preparing to rise to quasi‑god.

One should know that across the entire Prime Material Plane, few Crystal Barrier Systems have active Magic Net like Earth, and even fewer have been untouched by god‑level forces. Magic Net indeed permeates the boundless Prime Material Plane, yet among the countless Crystal Barrier Systems, worlds where magical energy is active may comprise only one in a million, or even less.

And within those limited Crystal Barrier Systems, they are still contested by countless gods of the Multiverse.

Naimi Xisi does not know the reason, but based on observations from memory inheritance, he infers that the gods seem to extremely despise beings from worlds without magic.

No, rather, the belief of beings from magic‑less worlds appears to be a tasteless, regrettable chicken‑rib to them.

Of course, this is merely Naimi Xisi's speculation; the true reason may only become clear on the day he ascends to quasi‑god.

"No, I cannot accept! A soul rescued by the devil will inevitably fall into Hell; Ao Lie Ge would not want me to plunge him into such a fate," Ye Ge Luo Wa finally endured her reluctance and refused.

Naimi Xisi saw a faint regret flicker in his eyes after she spoke those words: "Is that so? Yet God does not exist; his soul will ultimately fall into the Nine Circles of Hell to determine its final destination. Hmm, judging by the trends of your world, he is likely to enter Ying Ying Ming Jie and become an Undead; with better luck, perhaps he could become an intelligent shadow creature."

Seeing Ye Ge Luo Wa's skeptical gaze, Naimi Xisi curled his lip, waved his hand, and a blue flash vanished, taking Ye Ge Luo Wa and Ao Lie Ge's corpse lying on the ground with it.

"You have only thirty days to consider; after thirty days, Ao Lie Ge will forever be a dead man. Even I cannot pull him back to the living world."

Juan Ce Long's muffled voice vanished with the teleportation, along with Ye Ge Luo Wa.

Seeing Dan and Ai Lin, who were manipulating life and death, also disappear, they suddenly appeared at the White House entrance, along with their personal belongings and a yellowed parchment.

United States, White House Underground Intelligence Briefing Room.

!

The edges of the oval conference table were coated with last night's cigar tar; seventeen men bearing golden eagle insignia were sunk in leather chairs, while on the front electronic screen, three men hidden in shadows, faces unseen, were attending the meeting remotely.

When Professor Ai Lin Watson displayed the parchment, CIA Director Kai En suddenly coughed violently—because the contents were bizarre characters they had never seen.

"Gentlemen, that entity is demanding Einstein's manuscript in a language exclusive to dragons," the female professor adjusted her glasses, the laser pointer dancing over the parchment, "According to the information that surfaced in our minds after appearing at the White House, dragon language is the essential foundation to open the transcendental gate."

Kai En tossed a radiation meter; the gauge read zero the instant it touched the parchment sample. Seeing no issue, he leaned in to scrutinize the text: "He wants to trade with us? Exchange for human knowledge? If I'm not mistaken, this is probably just the beginning."

Ai Lin nodded: "He gave us no chance to converse; all information has already been etched into our minds by some unknown method. Compared with the data I received, Dan's content differs slightly."

Dan then produced a videotape, the footage he recorded after sneaking into the factory: "His message said that after exchanging for dragon‑language knowledge, humans wishing to learn more 'magic' knowledge could trade even more knowledge in return."

"I think that dragon intends a long‑term trade with us; dragon‑language knowledge is merely a greeting gift, should we accept it."

"As a trade," the videotape emitted a rustling, mournful sound, and the footage showed the beheaded Ye Ge Luo Wa being resurrected: "Perhaps we too can wield this god‑like power."
