But there is a paradox here. If you want to restore your soul, you need to live long enough, but if your soul cannot be restored, you will obviously not live long.
If you want to break out of this endless cycle, you can only look forward to technological progress in the future. Anyway, there is nothing Xia Duo can do now. He has already achieved the limit of what he can do.
"I'm quite content to be able to resume casting spells. I also know from Ambril that the restoration ritual requires a lot of divine grace, so I won't bother him."
Epps said in a calm tone, seeming to be completely dismissive of life and death. Shado couldn't help but advise him. If it were him, he would definitely find a way to let Ambril perform the restoration ceremony.
After all, Epps and Ambril have been together for decades and have long been friends, more than monarchs. Now that Ambril is working for Niya, it is not difficult to understand Epps’s thoughts, as he does not want to take away Niya’s possible recovery. Chance.
However, Xia Duo also has other plans. "I have made some improvements to Teacher Iolum's immortality technique to improve his physical condition. However, in this case, the overall life extension effect will not be as good as performing the restoration ceremony first."
"That's good. It also saves you from having to use spells to assist activities." Epps agreed this time.
"Then I'll come back in two days to do the longevity spell recuperation for you. It's good to supplement your nutrition, get more rest, and relax your mind in the next two days."
Xia Duo briefly explained a few words and left Epps' bedroom. As soon as he went out, he met Nia waiting outside. She asked with concern:
"How is dad's recovery going? Can he move around again?"
"He is recovering well and can move around. You can spend more time with him recently. If you have the chance, take him to the temple. I have asked the territory canteen to prepare food specifically. Then you can take Epp directly. Si just goes over there, it just so happens that he can see the development of Daxia Territory in the past few years."
After all, he is Niya's father, so Shado will not be treated completely as a stranger. Although Epps himself refused the restoration ceremony, what if Bishop Ambril persuaded him to perform it voluntarily?
You can't stop your old friend from showing love!
God's grace is a thing where the old doesn't go and the new doesn't come. As compensation, Shado will give Ambril more opportunities to obtain divine grace in the future, similar to Leiden.
Leiden's current divine grace is definitely no less than that of Ambril, but because the two have different development directions, Leiden cannot preside over the restoration ceremony, but in terms of judgment and judgment, and insight into people's hearts, Ambril is not as good as Leiden.
Temples are not necessary for the future of the territory, but hospitals and clinics are. Xia Duo will gradually improve the territory's institutions and split the functions of the temples as much as possible. This is in line with the needs of the territory's development, and it is also inevitable for practicing the order of the Lord of Glory. go through.
In the future, clergy will join different territorial institutions based on their different doctrinal understandings.
In the future, with the improvement of territorial institutions, if clergy cannot find doctrines that fit the territorial institutions, they are obviously heretics or cultists, and they are existences that need to be resolutely banned and eliminated.
With the inclusiveness of civilization, Xia Duo believes that most sects and doctrines can be tolerated. If the remaining ones cannot be tolerated, why not label them as cults or heresies?
The so-called "doctrine" is actually the concept of entering into the world to educate all living beings. If clergy can join the corresponding secular organization, they are actually practicing their own beliefs at all times and can quickly accumulate divine grace.
It’s much more useful than staying in the temple to worship God and chant sutras!
However, at the moment, Shado has not disclosed his arrangements for the temple to Niya. If he told Niya, it would be difficult for Niya to hold back when Epps encountered Ambril.
He didn't want the friendship between Epps and Ambril to be tainted with utilitarianism, let alone faith involved, and Chateau didn't want to add variables to the subsequent restoration ceremony.
Everything will wait until Epps recovers.
…
Back in the laboratory, Xia Duo touched the Lingsi network connector clamped on his ear and sent a notice to Ai Burke and others - "Construction of the communication mystery lock will begin on the 10th of this month, and it must be completed before the 15th."
The 15th is the time for the council meeting notified by the Seven Towers, although the main content of this meeting is to inspect and inquire about the newly established parliamentary agencies.
But if the communication mystery lock can be solved before the 15th, it can at least let other congressmen experience it first. At the same time, it can also persuade other people to back down their plans, lest some people have too high sunk costs and end up having to fight with them.
Starting on the 10th is also a relatively loose time given by Shado. In fact, after Epps' recovery ceremony is over, Niya can safely preside over related work. If nothing unexpected happens, this time should be before the 10th.
In the laboratory.
While thinking about the issues that might arise in the parliamentary meetings in the next few months, Xia Duo skillfully activated the detection array in the laboratory and adjusted the detection position so that it was pointed at the North Pole.
In the past few days, he has been restraining himself from performing prophecy rituals. Even though he can see the infinite future, he has created a strong sense of fate because of his conscious restraint.
Whether he was worried that he would rely too much on prophecy or that he would fall into a fateful trap of his own creation, Sha Duo was not going to perform prophecy rituals before the Culture and Art Festival.
Then we can only explore the Arctic first. The importance of the Dragon Crazy Mystery Lock Control Center is also very important, and predictions show that serious climate anomalies may occur in the near future. In this case, the priority of exploring the Arctic has been raised again.
…
As the perception field was projected over, Sha Duo saw the same endless ice field scene he saw during his previous "global travel"——
The endless ice field has no end in sight in the three directions of east, west and south. To the north, it directly reaches the plane barrier. However, because the plane barrier is empty, it feels like there is no end in sight.
In this vast expanse of white, if you search inch by inch, no matter when you will find it, it will be easily discovered by others. Fortunately, Sha Duo brought back the approximate location of the control center from the projection plane of the Red Heart Alliance.
It is almost in the center of the ice field. Of course, there are no normal creatures in this area. There are only some elemental creatures that occasionally wander here from the elemental plane.
Of course, it is also possible that it was nurtured by the local environment. Xia Duo is not completely sure. After all, there are no inscriptions on the foreheads of those elemental creatures to tell others where they come from.
As for normal flesh-and-blood creatures or plants, they can only be found on the edge of the ice sheet, near the sea or mountains, and do not exist in the center of the ice sheet.
As seen during the previous trip, there are no abnormalities on the surface. This is easy to judge. Although the covering mechanism controlling the center cannot be ruled out, the possibility is extremely small.
Because the polar ice sheets have been gradually increasing since ancient times, at least in the ancient history that Xia Duo learned about, the Arctic ice sheets were gradually increasing.
So going back to the time when the Dragon Kuang Mystic Lock Control Center was built, is it possible that the ice sheet did not exist? Anyway, if Xia Duo was left to decide the location of the Long Kuang Mystic Lock control center, he would definitely not place it under the ice sheet.
Perhaps it was the change in the polar regions that occurred when the only continent disintegrated. Perhaps it was that change that pushed the area where the Dragon Kuang Mystic Lock control center is located to the polar regions. From then on, it began to freeze and seal everything.
Or perhaps, the existence of the polar region itself is caused by the collapse of Dragon Madness Mystery Chain!
