Section 151
"Condensing the divine body? Hmm..."
Zhongli pondered for a moment, "I used the power of rock to condense the immortal ancestor's body, so it didn't take too much energy. But I once had a chance to find a secret method in the depths of the world, which condensed the incarnation with the power of the origin of heaven and earth. The effect is the same as the real body, but this method can only be used for the formation of elemental life forms."
His immortal ancestor's body was also made with this secret method.
Su Chen's mind moved: "Isn't that just right? As the previous Thunder God, Baal should be able to adapt to the secret method, right?"
"It's still unknown." Zhongli said, "Reincarnation of life and death is the way of nature. It's difficult for mortals to reverse the Yin and Yang worlds, and it's even more so for gods, but you... maybe you can give it a try."
Although strictly speaking, Lei Dianzhen is not dead, in fact, as a remnant of the soul, according to the rules of the order of heaven, he is already "dead", but because of Su Chen, he has crossed the time limit of 500 years, and now Lei Dianzhen has also faintly escaped the control of the order of heaven.
Zhongli said he could give it a try because of Su Chen, who died twice but didn't die completely. Even with his limited knowledge, he couldn't figure out how to deal with this situation.
If a miracle happens, it must happen to Su Chen.
"Try it." Lei Dianzhen said without hesitation.
Although it is very comfortable to hang on Su Chen, it is also not very convenient. It is equivalent to going wherever Su Chen goes... Well, she has no objection, but Ying's resentful eyes when she left made Zhen feel a little embarrassed.
No... Silly sister, what do you mean?
In short, it is better to live than to die, and the same is true for the demon god.
"In this case, then prepare more." Zhongli said, "The soul and the body are in harmony. This process is extremely dangerous. It is best to have power to maintain it."
Su Chen asked: "How to maintain it?"
"Barbatos is quite good at this."
Su Chen was stunned.
Good guy, where can I find a wisp of wind for you.
...
People come and go under the stone gate.
The aroma of dandelion wine settled in the air, following the traces of flowing water and breeze, and a young man appeared in the sound of stepping and singing.
The caravan took a break, and the bard who sneaked into the caravan used a story to get free food and drinks. He played the harp, and the sound was long and moving. Not to mention the people in the caravan, even the hill people wandering in the distance were intoxicated.
After about ten minutes, the sound of the harp stopped, but the afterglow of the story settled in everyone's heart.
While they closed their eyes and enjoyed the scene, the boy couldn't wait to take the wine and put it in the pot he brought, and directly filled the whole pot.
"Ha~ This story is really good."
"Come on, come on, drink, drink."
"Huh? Why is the wine gone?"
The boy said: "You were immersed in listening to the story, drinking while listening, of course you drank it~"
"Really."
"Didn't you pretend to leave secretly?"
"What? How can you insult someone out of thin air... huh?" The boy turned around and looked at the person walking towards him, stunned for a moment: "Su Chen?"
"You ran very fast. It wasn't long after the Dragon King Festival ended, and you came to Liyue to eat and drink for free."
"No way, I didn't eat and drink for free..."
Wendy tried to defend himself, and then what was "How can the bard's business be called cheating?" Seeing his cunning appearance, the people in the car team also laughed, and the air was full of a happy atmosphere.
...
In fact, Su Chen didn't expect this guy to be in Liyue. After hearing what Zhongli said, he thought that at most he would go back to Inazuma. As a result, Shixian suddenly jumped out and told him that the wind god Barbatos had appeared in the Human Emperor Ruins of Tianheng Mountain not long ago. He mixed in with a group of outsiders and earned Mora by telling people stories.
Su Chen couldn't help but sigh that you can really find Barbatos anywhere unexpected in Mondstadt.
Hearing Su Chen's request at this time, Wendy shook her head: "No, no, I can't do it. I'm just a little wind god. How can I do that!"
"One hundred thousand Mora."
"No, my power is too weak."
"One million Mora."
"Really not, Su Chen, you know me, I can't deal with any demon god in Mondstadt."
"In the future in Liyue, send all bills to the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce."
"Su Chen, you know me, when my friends are in trouble, I always go all out!"
Very good, it's settled.
Although Su Chen didn't know how Wendy would help stabilize the soul power, Zhongli would definitely not lie. After dealing with Wendy, Su Chen planned to let Lei Dianzhen absorb the purple crystal, but was stopped by Zhongli.
"In my opinion, it's best for Baal not to absorb this power." Zhongli said slowly, "Although the power here is strong, it is not the original power of Lei Dianzhen after all. If the secret method is to shape the body, if this power is too strong, it will conflict with the conditions for the use of the secret method."
Su Chen frowned and said, "But if you don't absorb it, with Baal's current power, how long will it take to condense the body?"
"There's no need to rush."
Zhongli shook his head gently.
"It's not a one-time step into the demon god stage. This method can be gradual."
"You mean, starting with the elemental spirit?"
"Yes."
According to Zhongli, Lei Dianzhen only has a soul body left anyway, so it's better to directly turn it into an elemental life "rebuilding" and start from the beginning step by step. Although it's a bit weak at the beginning, it will be much smoother this way.
If the strength is raised all at once, the body cannot keep up, which will cause side effects.
Su Chen thought about it for a while and understood the main idea.
At the same time, he was glad that he came to Zhongli. If he followed his previous method, he might make a big mistake in the end.
Otherwise, why do we say that old ginger is spicy? With more than 6,000 years of life, Zhongli is simply an encyclopedia of Teyvat.
"The key is the initial stage. Let Baal decompose from your stand ability. This move has a high risk." Zhongli said again. This is the main reason why he asked Barbatos to come.
Raiden's soul relies on the stand to survive, and in the past 500 years, the two have basically merged into one. Letting them separate is tantamount to separating the body and soul. The degree of risk is self-evident.
Su Chen suddenly said: "What if I strip the power of the stand?"
Zhongli smiled slightly: "This is better for Bal, but for you..."
"No!" Lei Dianzhen refused immediately, "That is your power. Stripping it will hurt you!"
Su Chen looked at her and said nothing.
Lei Dianzhen bit her lip: "I don't want to see you hurt again..."
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Su Chen said softly, "I promised Ying that I would take you back. I failed to protect you at the beginning. This time I will do my best."
"But..."
Stripping the stand will also divide the power contained in it, which will naturally damage Su Chen's strength.
Lei Dianzhen didn't want Su Chen to be injured again because of himself.
At this moment, a deep buzzing sounded.
"You two are really confusing. Isn't there a Dragon King crystal? Absorb it, break through and then strip the stand. I don't know what you are talking about such a simple thing."
Everyone turned their heads.
See Ruo Tuo squatting in the corner of the yard.
The Emperor was not in Liyue, and Ruo Tuo followed the old Rock King out for a stroll every day, eating and drinking for free. Recently, he has been staying in the Rebirth Hall. Master Hu treated him as a pet, and he never missed three meals a day.
The old Dragon King usually didn't talk, but he was very smart and hit the nail on the head when he spoke.
Zhongli nodded slightly: "This is feasible. The power in that crystal is extremely huge. If it is absorbed, it will be enough to make up for the damage caused by stripping the stand."
Su Chen touched his chin, which was fine. The crystal was originally prepared for Raiden Zhen, and now it was just a replacement for the stand.
Originally, Raiden Zhen absorbed that crystal, at most it would only increase the power, which was far less effective than Su Chen's absorption, but if the stand was stripped to her, Raiden Zhen would have the ability of a stand user in the future, which would be good for self-protection in the early stage.
Thinking about it, the picture in Su Chen's mind suddenly became strange-Raiden Zhen, who remained jojo, released the stand, shouted "smash Varudo" and stopped the world.
Wendy clapped his hands and cheered: "Haha~ Everyone is happy, everyone is happy!"
He couldn't wait to send the bill to the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce (it took Wendy a long time to find out that Su Chen only asked him to send the bill, and didn't say he would reimburse).
...
Rumble~~
Thunder rolled over the Guyun Pavilion, and terrible purple lightning danced in the air.
Under the influence of the power of the Thunder Dragon King, the majestic thunder elements gathered madly towards this space.
Under the operation of the devouring ability, its terrifying suction was like a giant whale opening its mouth. Seeing the endless gathering of elemental power, Wendy was half dumbfounded and asked Zhongli if this guy was the Dragon King, if he was the Dragon King.
Zhongli didn't want to pay attention to him.
Until the gathering of thunder elements reached a terrifying level, Su Chen unfolded his substitute and forcibly cut off the connection between the substitute and him.
Hiss! ~
Like a winged beast breaking its wings.
The intense pain made Su Chen couldn't help but groan.
In the sky, the main statue of Yujianming Shen was replaced by Lei Dianzhen, and her authority was completely integrated into the latter. She looked at Su Chen with some concern, and then used all her strength to activate the secret method taught by Zhongli.
With the power of the substitute as a foundation, she absorbed elemental power much faster.
At the same time, Wendy raised the harp, her fingers waved, and the melodious sound of the harp turned into a radiance rippling in the waves of the blue sea, gently brushing Lei Dianzhen's soul.
In an instant, the pain that was like a needle prick just now disappeared instantly.
Even the pain felt by Su Chen was immediately reduced by a large amount, and he was very surprised. In the game, Barbatos was just a monster gathering demon, and he really hid a sea. You thought he was on the third floor, but he was actually on the eighteenth floor.
Taking advantage of this gap, Su Chen took out the purple crystal and integrated it into his body.
Boom! ——
In an instant, endless thunder rioted, and the terrible power of thunder and lightning vented out, as if to destroy everything!
Roar! ! !
A big dragon that penetrated the sky and the earth rose into the sky.
