Chapter 128 The Man in the Bottle, the Philosopher’s Stone

“According to the records in Chapter 2 of Genesis, verses 8-9 of the Old Testament, the Tree of Life is located in the center of the Garden of Eden, and Kabbalah uses this to describe the so-called path to God, or God’s creation of the world from nothing. The way."

"The secret of creation, the mystery of life, the ability to predict the destiny of individuals and the entire universe, the secret method of changing destiny, the secrets hidden in the Bible, the mysteries of God and the devil."

"And this ladder to the gods hidden in the door of truth is hidden in the refining of the Philosopher's Stone and the little man in the bottle."

Germany's Three Reichs, capital Berlin.

The blue sky is paired with white clouds, pigeons flying constantly on the square, and pedestrians coming and going.

Berlin now looks full of life, and the entire empire seems to be glowing with new vitality.

In the office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Three German Empires, a young and slightly handsome man held a book wrapped in black leather and was reading the contents of the book.

The young man looked at the books in front of him, with a slight smile on his face, and his eyes were full of desire and enthusiasm for knowledge.

This young man has a handsome appearance and a well-proportioned figure. Although he has a slight mustache at the corner of his mouth, it cannot conceal the bright light and unique temperament emanating from his body.

The man sitting on the chair in the office is the commander-in-chief of the Three German Empires, and he has now returned to his youthful glory.

The commander-in-chief is in a good mood now. Both the mind and the body of the commander-in-chief have undergone radical changes.

Even the reports of defeats coming from the front line one after another might not be able to arouse the anger in his heart and cause a little bit of waves in his heart.

Even the previous attack on the Red Polar Bear suffered a failure, and the German Army of the Three Reichs attacked Sidalingrad and suffered a tragic defeat.

The Battle of Sidalingrad was the most serious strategic defeat that the Three German Reichs had ever encountered. It not only ended the offensive situation maintained by the southern cluster of the Three German Reichs since 1941, but also directly caused the comparison between the overall power of the Red Polar Bear and the Three German Reichs. fundamental changes.

From a global perspective, the Battle of Sidalingrad was a landmark event that marked a turning point in the anti-Faxisi war. However, the Battle of Sidalingrad did not completely cause the armies of the three German empires to lose the initiative.

The armies of the Allied Powers continued to launch sieges against the Three German Reichs, which seemed to have caused a huge impact on the Three German Reichs.

In fact, those who really understand the current background of the Three German Empires know very well that for the empire, these impacts are nothing and will not shake the empire's own stability and crazy external expansion at all.

Just the vampire-enhanced soldiers that Red Skull put into Hydra before, they were extremely lethal when fighting the Allies.

Within the Three German Empires, the Millennium Organization led by the Major has now developed a "superhuman drug" that can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of imperial soldiers on the battlefield.

This drug is different from the stimulants developed before. Stimulants can only stimulate the soldiers' nerve senses, so that the soldiers can achieve sustained and high-efficiency combat.

However, this "superhuman drug" developed by the Millennium Organization can indeed improve people's physical fitness and develop their potential once used.

However, if used for a long time, it will cause great damage to the human body, and there will be extremely regrettable consequences.

The real confidence of the top leaders within the Three German Empires in winning the war was not due to their great achievements in science and technology.

It's because the commander himself has acquired mysterious power, and relied on this mysterious power to regain his youth.

Most of the top leaders of the Three German Empires are people who believe in mysticism, and the changes that have occurred in their commanders have further strengthened their pursuit of mysterious things.

At the same time, those at the top of the Three German Empires were not the only ones who were determined to pursue mysterious things.

The Grand Commander himself strictly followed the methods in the dark alchemy book and completed every step of alchemy to the highest standards.

The result of the commander-in-chief's strict self-discipline was that the number of poor YTRs was greatly reduced again. The troops of the three German empires intensified their efforts to encircle and suppress them, and more people died in the "flesh and blood factory".

"Sure enough, without those two things, I would not be able to enter the Kabbalah Tree of Life and successfully open the door of truth."

"The production of the Philosopher's Stone and the Little Man in the Vase must be completed as soon as possible."

The Grand Commander thought of Kabbalah's Tree of Life and the Door of Truth. If he wanted to successfully enter both of them, then the villain in the bottle and the Philosopher's Stone were indispensable things.

The ideological principles of Kabbalah come from the "Old Testament Genesis" and "New Testament Revelation" in the "Bible" of revealed religions, as well as the "Book of Creation" that appeared in the third to sixth centuries AD.

In the study of Kabbalah thought, it is said that the Kabbalah Tree of Life can see the "mysterious causal relationship of the universe" and is the door to eternity and truth.

Kabbalistic thought uses the "tree of life" growing in heaven to symbolize the entire universe. Its meaning is intriguing and elusive.

It is generally believed that the tree of life represents the vast universe, the human body as a small universe, and the spiritual journey to the realm of God.

This tree of life is composed of ten circles (sephirah) and 22 paths (pass).

Human beings are in individual kingdoms, making a meditative journey through 22 paths to ten circles, until they reach the crown.

In addition, each circle is said to have an archangel who protects and guides people.

The Tree of Life can be roughly divided into three pillars, ten essences, four worlds, twenty-two paths and other basic structures.

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the tree of life are not the same tree. The process of human beings' fall from the state of perfection is called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

All things in the world and all the laws in the universe are not divided into good and evil. It was not until the concept of "self" came into being after the fall of human beings that there was a distinction between good and evil.

When human beings awaken and return to the realm of perfection, the path to reverse advancement is the tree of life.

After Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge of knowledge and evil, they were expelled from the Garden of Eden and lost eternal life.

The tree of life, which reversely enhances human spirituality, is guarded by devils and angels at the entrance and exit, and its protection is very strict.

This also means that if you want to enter the tree of life and return to eternal life, you must first overcome the temptation of the inner demons, and in the end you must make a final breakthrough. Only by possessing power that surpasses the "gods (angels)" can you succeed.

"Today, if you want to enter the Kabbalah Tree of Life, it is still a long way off!"

"Compared to illusory things like the Kabbalah Tree of Life, the refining of the villain in the bottle and the Philosopher's Stone is more important."

The commander put down the book about the Kabbalah Tree of Life that he was holding, and took out a book about the Philosopher's Stone and the Little Man in the Vase from the bookshelf.

During this period of time, the Commander-in-Chief put down almost all the unimportant things he was doing and devoted all his extra time to the study of alchemy.

Among the alchemy contents learned, the creation of the Philosopher's Stone and the Little Man in the Vase is the most important thing learned by the Grand Commander.

The role of the Philosopher's Stone is self-evident.

This kind of treasure can bring eternal life to the commander-in-chief, and the little man in the bottle can help the commander-in-chief obtain all the truth in the world. So how can the commander-in-chief give up these two treasures so easily?

The Philosopher's Stone has always been a mythical substance. It has long been the Holy Grail of Western alchemists. It is believed to be able to turn ordinary base metals into precious metals or create elixirs of immortality.

Therefore, its titles include "Philosopher's Stone, Stone from Heaven, Philosopher's Stone, Raw Material of Gold and Silver, Red Potion, Fifth Element" and so on.

Due to the unremitting pursuit of this substance by alchemists, it has also been given titles such as great miracles and great creations.

Sometimes, these titles are also used to refer to the makers of the Philosopher's Stone, in order to vividly show that they are at the pinnacle of alchemy.

The Philosopher's Stone often appears in different forms in various legends and myths, even solid, liquid or powder, and is considered to be the color of blood.

The concept of "golden elixir" in Eastern alchemy is also very similar to the Philosopher's Stone. Also pursued by alchemists like the Philosopher's Stone is the universal elixir-Azot.

The magical power of the Philosopher's Stone has been described by alchemists as almost divine, and various alchemical works are full of praise for the Philosopher's Stone.

Therefore, after the Grand Commander obtained Dark Alchemy, he believed even more that the Philosopher's Stone was real, and that the Philosopher's Stone was the secret among the mysteries of alchemy.

"It is the power of morality and God, but it is secret to the ignorant. It is the limit and purpose of everything under the sky, and the final and incredible result of all the operations of the wise."

"It is the perfect essence of all elements, an indestructible object that cannot be damaged or destroyed by any element. It is the fifth element."

“It is a double and living mercury possessing a spirit in itself, which works with all unsolid and imperfect metals.”

"It is the eternal glory, the elixir that can cure all diseases, the phoenix that blesses the glory of heaven, the most precious treasure of all wealth, and the most important asset of the entire nature."

The Grand Commander seemed to be reciting poetry or performing a drama. His eyes were slightly narrowed as if he were standing on the podium, stating his own ideas and praising the greatness of the Philosopher's Stone.

The master speaker is fascinated by his performance. He is imagining the beauty of the Philosopher's Stone and also praising his future victory.

Why the General Commander behaves like this is because he has achieved great success and has full confidence in his plan to become a god through alchemy.

The fundamental reason why he was able to rejuvenate and regain his youth again was because he had successfully refined a half-finished Philosopher's Stone.

Because this half-finished Philosopher's Stone is used on his own body, the commander's body can once again fight against time, swim against the current, and regain youth.

"Now it seems that there is still a problem with the refining of the little man in the bottle!!"

"So many miscellaneous lives have been used to conduct experiments, but no great results have been achieved. Sure enough, it is very difficult to make a great treasure like the little man in the bottle that can touch the truth of the world!"

After finishing his operatic recitation, the commander remembered the setback he had suffered in the experiment of the little man in the bottle.

The commander-in-chief couldn't help but feel tired. It was too difficult to make the little man in the bottle.

In fact, as early as the Renaissance, alchemists proposed the concept of a vase and left instructions on how to make a vase in books.

At that time, medical books during the Renaissance recorded that it was believed that the main vitality of the shengzhi came from the man's tiye form, and that the huafang was simply a warm, nutrient-rich container for the embryo to grow and nourish.

Although the huafang provides the raw materials needed to make an adult, the raw materials used by the fetus to mature are important in determining what kind of person the person will become.

This view that tiye is the main ingredient needed to generate new life within the huafang, and that the huafang is merely a passive vessel, goes back to Aristotle, the leading authority on natural science in the Middle Ages and late antiquity.

Aristotle did not think that humans could make things artificially outside of nature's fanzhi and shengyu patterns, but his ideas did leave open the possibility.

If the human huafang is just a container for the fetus, then in theory it can be exchanged with another container.

As long as a human tiye is used, it is thought that all that is needed besides the tiye is a warm room and some kind of raw material, maybe even rotten meat.

Aristotle was very concerned about the relationship between "essence" and "property", and he proposed the concepts of "matter" and "form".

Aristotle believed that form was the more important thing. He also believed that huaiyun, the mother, provided the material of flesh and blood.

The father imported the human form through tiye. With the development of the Renaissance, this theory was taken seriously by scholars such as Paracelsus and became part of natural philosophy.

In Western magic, artificial humans are equally obsessed with the Philosopher’s Stone. Paracelsus’s De Natura Rerum describes the idea of ​​the artificial villain Homecruz:

"Put the male tiye in a distilling bottle and seal it for forty days. The tiye will gradually decay and start to visibly squirm. It will gradually form the shape of a human body, and at the same time it will be transparent and insubstantial."

"But if you carefully cultivate this new creature with human blood, keep it in an environment with the same temperature as horse blood for forty weeks."

"The new creature will become a living child, with limbs and limbs as sound as a child just born from a woman's belly, but it is extremely small and must be cared for meticulously until it grows up and becomes intelligent."

And according to the records in "On the Properties of Matter", Paracelsus indeed injected tiye into the flask and cultured it for a full forty days at the temperature of horse manure fermentation.

During this period, the tiye gradually pulses and gradually appears into a transparent human form. It is nourished with human blood for 40 weeks and continues to be maintained at the temperature of the horse's womb.

What will eventually emerge from the flask is a tiny, sane being who can learn everything there is to know about the universe simply by asking the questions he asks himself.

The law of truth is the law by which the entire world follows the movement and flow of things, which is omniscient and omnipotent; and alchemy is the understanding of this trend, and the decomposition and reconstruction of it.

Alchemy is only innovation, while truth is creation. The two are not on the same order of magnitude at all.

Today's commander-in-chief takes advantage of the sufficient demographic dividend to conduct crazy experiments on those captured YTR people, just to create villains in the bottle.

It's just a pity for the commander that there hasn't been much progress in the experiment of the little man in the bottle.

(ps: Due to some special factors, the highest leaders of the empire will be collectively referred to as the Grand Commander from now on)
