Chapter 357: Summoning Divine Energy Entity

To say the least, the modification of the White Magic Staff still benefited from the newly emerged Soul Gem.

Naimi Xisi, using this Artifact as a basis, developed a new function for it—【Summoning Divine Energy Entity】.

The three strands of Divinity in the White Magic Staff are rare treasures that are hard to encounter in the Prime Material Plane for ten thousand years. Although with only this single strand of Divinity, Naimi Xisi cannot borrow a power as mighty as 【Eye of Distortion】, the Divine Spell is still a very powerful ability.

Each strand of Divinity, due to its patron deity's office, has a vastly different effect on the Divine Spell. This is also why Naimi Xisi, in the study of 【Dark Seed】's spells, leans toward the Divinity aspect.

Divinity contains an extremely domineering and supreme power; under normal circumstances, without a deity's aid, few mortals can employ means to have a living body bear Divinity.

In fact, for mortals, the only way to use Divinity for themselves is to employ it to raise levels or attribute points—a rather modest use.

Conversely, using inanimate implements to bear the sacred, forging an Artifact with Divinity, is the most cost‑effective way for mortals to employ Divinity.

Naimi Xisi originally did just that.

But the emergence of the Soul Gem changed this situation.

Naimi Xisi mastered an ability that perhaps even deities cannot possess—creating souls ex nihilo.

Those are truly newborn souls, like blank sheets of paper. As the creator, Naimi Xisi can, according to personal preference, assign various definitions to those souls—such as absolute loyalty, or extraordinary talent in Arcane Power, martial arts, and other fields.

Of course, the more brilliant and gifted the soul, the more mana it consumes; with Naimi Xisi's current mana pool, they can essentially only create souls with ordinary human intelligence.

But at this moment, what truly attracts Naimi Xisi is not this cheat‑like ability to rewrite souls.

"Master, is this the Artifact you crafted by hand? Its appearance is so graceful it compels admiration," praised the blind Losri En, addressing the White Magic Staff in Naimi Xisi's hand.

Do not underestimate the Divination Mage; although Losri En is blind, everything around is as clear as day to him.

Naimi Xisi gave no reply, but instead levitated the White Magic Staff in midair, extending the index finger of the left hand to gently touch the gem at the staff's tip that bears Divinity.

A massive, almost materialized surge of mana erupted wildly from Naimi Xisi's fingertips. Gale winds rose, and the terrifying magical pressure left Keli Te and Losri En nearby struggling for breath.

100 points.

The massive mana, nearly equivalent to that of a dozen Legendary Mages combined, vanished completely within a few seconds, and the gem at the White Magic Staff's tip absorbed it all. Simultaneously, Naimi Xisi's eyes glowed with an orange‑yellow light that could almost illuminate the entire hall.

"Grant you life, obey my command."

Naimi Xisi's murmured voice sounded beside Losri En's ear; the half‑elf, proficient in Divination spells, suddenly dared not move, his whole body covered in goosebumps.

In the unseen void, something appeared.

It was like a membrane inside an eggshell frantically struggling, trying to break free; the unknown entity was using its blunt claws to force open the fissure to the mortal world.

In the next instant, Losri En trembled, his expression turning inexplicably fervent: "Ah, this is? What a awe‑inspiring power, you always bring tears to my eyes, great master."

He sensed it; even though mortals saw nothing, Losri En, using the Divination Mage's 'inner eye', saw the newly born, pristine soul as pure as a blank sheet.

Naimi Xisi looked satisfied at the orange‑yellow orb at his fingertip, the very form of an initial soul.

He made no alterations to this newborn soul, leaving it in an ethereal state.

Because this is a requisite condition for merging with Divinity!

The orange‑yellow orb in his hand seemed drawn by some presence within the gem; with a whoosh it flew into the gem, and soon a slender thread of sunset‑red flame coiled around the orb, finally merging the two.

This is the result of Naimi Xisi's secret technique modification of the 【Dark Seed】.

He happened to discover that a pure soul adapts remarkably well to the highly repulsive Divinity. After the first soul creation successfully merged with Zar Taike's blood‑soaked war Divinity, Naimi Xisi also attempted to fuse with Weikna's Arcane necromantic Divinity, with equal success.

And now, the Sun God's Divinity succeeding once more confirmed to Naimi Xisi that the blank souls forged by the Soul Gem have become the best vessels for Divinity!

These souls, merged with Divinity, integrated into the White Magic Staff in a wondrous way, becoming part of the Artifact's spirit.

Moreover, Naimi Xisi can even summon them!

"Appear before me, hunter that prowls beneath the Great Sun," Naimi Xisi closed his eyes, grasped the White Magic Staff, and whispered.

Soon, a yellow energy entity about 20 meters long, resembling a hyena, appeared in the hall. The hall, normally regulated by magic to stay cool even in summer, suddenly plunged into a scorching heat akin to a burning inferno.

The documents on the table ignited spontaneously without wind, and the nearly suffocating heat radiated outward from the energy entity.

"This is a Divine Energy Entity?!" Losri En gasped for cool air, his handsome face now stripped of composure, filled with shock. Meanwhile, Keli Te, clueless, appeared somewhat awkward.

Naimi Xisi gave a slight nod.

The creature before him is a product of the Sun God's Divinity fused with a soul.

"Roar~~Master~~" the hyena affectionately approached Naimi Xisi, using its massive head, as tall as a person, to nuzzle its master.

Naimi Xisi disdainfully pushed it away, fearing the heat might scorch the underwear he was wearing today.

There are two more such energy entities residing within the White Magic Staff. Just as Divinity varies, these entities differ in appearance.

Yet their abilities are remarkably uniform—to naturally convert spells into Divine Spells!

These entities are like extensions of Naimi Xisi, except they possess intelligence that his mere extensions lack.

As long as Naimi Xisi continuously supplies mana to the White Magic Staff, the summoned Divine Energy Entities can wildly cast the spells etched into their instincts using the master's mana.

Some of these spells are Divine Spells, others are Arcane Power used by Mages, but regardless, the power they wield aligns with their Divinity attributes. Moreover, under Divinity's influence, their spells become greatly amplified Divine Spells.

The White Magic Staff now can provide the 【Summoning Divine Energy Entity】 function three times daily; once summoned, these entities have no time or distance limits, returning to the gem only when defeated by an enemy, awaiting the next manifestation.

To completely eradicate these three entities, the only way is to destroy the host bearing the three strands of Divinity—the White Magic Staff.

【Summoning Divine Energy Entity】 showed Naimi Xisi the possibility of living beings harnessing Divinity; at least the three souls he created have become immortal monsters through Divinity.

In his future speculation, the next step for the 【Dark Seed】 is to devise how to embed Divine Energy Entities into a caster's body, thereby indirectly gaining the ability to manipulate Divinity.

Direct integration with Divinity is unrealistic, yet the souls Naimi Xisi created perfectly command Divinity, and they obey their creator's orders—Naimi Xisi himself.
