Chapter 1016: Chapter 7: Slumber and Awakening of the Supreme Soul

Get down to it.

After all, no one can discover what I have done.

Gu Mo was intrigued, being a person of strong action; he immediately focused his spirit and will, effortlessly crossing the distance of time and space, converging at a single point.

Athena was right; the power of the Magic Guide Holy Grail can indeed reach the ends of the earth.

So, once the curse is released, the ritual starts, devouring the gods’ life force, and the ability to convert it into resources will activate. From then on, no matter how distant, the mystical and subtle connections will traverse across mountain ranges and seas, reaching all corners, until the "offering’s" energy is consumed entirely!

However.

This also means...

If the "offering" connected to the Holy Grail is powerful beyond limits, it can naturally reverse the curse ritual’s connection and interfere with the Grail’s power.

This possibility has always existed—

It’s just that in the past, nearly no one could achieve it.

Because the essence of the Magic Guide Holy Grail was created from Guinevere’s former self, who sacrificed herself to create this Divine Artifact.

The price paid was everything of the White Goddess, even the chance to return to myth and await respawn was lost. Guinevere is Guinevere but will never be the White Goddess again... This is the wear and tear of the origin, at the cost of immortal life—

Infusing all her divinity, wisdom, immortality into the Holy Grail.

Just the thought is madness; in the past, a goddess of the earth, equivalent to Athena in her trinity peak period, made such a tremendous sacrifice to create the Divine Artifact, which has power far exceeding common sense, even the Gods must bend to it.

Only the top-notch Defiant Gods, also serving as the King of the End, could actively resist the Grail’s curse if accidentally affected... But the Grail usually serves the King of the End, so naturally, this situation wouldn’t occur.

In summary, mystery always yields to a higher mystery.

Like Gu Mo’s assessment of the Grail, it seems just average, reluctantly suitable as a carrier for the Second Magic in this Dungeon World.

Choosing a carrier that can move in the Parallel World, it is best to select concrete concepts with strong universality. And in this Dungeon World, there exists countless Parallel Worlds, like the World-saving Divine Blade and the Magic Guide Holy Grail, which are really suitable.

With a high rank, they also almost universally exist in other worlds.

So, Gu Mo considers it a good carrier.

Like the Gem Elder, as long as there are gemstones or mineral Parallel Worlds, he can go there... Of course, if none exist, he won’t be unable to go either. The Gem Elder initially chose physical travel, but after experiencing many things, he summarized and found a simpler solution.

Mainly because magicians are not playing particularly well just because they’ve just mastered magic...

Skills, experiences, insights, all these require practical steps, exploring them...

Gu Mo doesn’t need to start from scratch, accumulating experience from nothing; he directly adopts the excellent tradition of utilizing the tricks summarized by the Gem Elder. Once he experiences it personally more, he may summarize better methods, but that’s a matter for the future.

After all, ultimately, the achievements of the Second Magic are fairly recent to him.

And its assistance is not as huge as imagined. Like managing Parallel Worlds, altering records, rewriting phenomena, etc., he could already achieve them by other means. Integrating them with Second Magic merely makes them convenient, not a qualitative leap from non-existence to existence.

As for the "Infinite Magic Power" effect it brings, it seems incredibly overpowering, but actually, it’s part of the Parallel World management.

It cannot solve Gu Mo’s current urgent need.

Because the infinite energy from Second Magic is not inherent but achieved by operating Parallel Worlds, borrowing magic power from other Parallel Worlds... Creating a channel to the Parallel World, then using that channel to almost limitlessly draw magic power out.

What Gu Mo needs the most is to fundamentally turn his soul into a perpetual motion machine, obtaining an endless magic power source.

Self-sufficient and not relying on outside sources.

In a situation where acquiring a large number of free attribute points quickly to enhance the spiritual attribute is difficult, he can only opt for Third Magic as the entry point, causing his soul to undergo a qualitative change to ascend to a higher rank!

This goal must be accomplished.

Unfortunately, what is desired is often hard to easily obtain; what can be easily obtained is often not what’s desired.

—Second Magic started late, progressed quickly, smoothly practiced to full proficiency, and condensed into an Ability Badge.

—As for Third Magic, though initiated early, with ample funding and persistent efforts, it has occupied a lot of computational resources and process for a long time, yet hasn’t yielded actual results.

Only now has an opportunity finally emerged.

As Gu Mo’s thoughts flickered, the ocean of consciousness and electronics that could easily disperse and cover the globe suddenly surged.
