C1658 The Use of the Altar

"I've left a drop of her Sunsorrow for you."

As Youyu refined the soul stone and Taixu descended into the deep sea, the Abyssal Leviathan extracted a drop of vibrant blood and offered it to Yu Yuan with a sinister grin. "You should be able to harvest arcane related to the mind from this drop of blood."

Yu Yuan accepted it without hesitation.

The colorful blood was the Sunsorrow of the Mirage of the Mind, resting in his palm. Upon closer inspection, it resembled a vastly shrunken Mindscape.

Swoosh!

A stream of crimson vitality burst forth from his palm, enveloping the Sunsorrow and drawing it into the middle elixir field acupoint.

As the multicolored Sunsorrow materialized in his little world of vitality, it spontaneously fused with his Solar Spirit.

It merged of its own volition!

With a hiss, a deluge of arcane knowledge concerning the mind, illusions, and bewitchment seamlessly integrated into his Solar Spirit.

Suddenly, within his Solar Spirit, a segment of colorful crystal emerged, inscribed with the bloodline mysteries of the Mirage of the Mind.

Yet...

He had an epiphany that traces of arcane knowledge related to the mind were already present within his dominant soul.

Instinctively, he employed the Divine and Demonic Creation and conjured the Mirage of the Mind within his Mindscape.

From the vast, kaleidoscopic shell, a dreamlike figure woven from the essence of dawn's light emerged.

With a gentle sway of the shell, mesmerizing light danced forth, swiftly weaving layers of dreams that threatened to ensnare the souls of nearby beings.

"Eh!"

Yu Yuan murmured to himself, realizing that in using the Divine and Demonic Creation to absorb the phantom of the Mirage of the Mind, he had also assimilated a portion of its Mind Magic.

Now, with the Sunsorrow gifted by the Abyssal Leviathan and having melded it with his Solar Spirit, he had nearly mastered all the intricate wisdom of the enigmatic Mirage of the Mind.

He had absorbed skills related to the soul and various hunting techniques that synergized with his bloodline, integrating them into his very being.

What astonished him further was the emergence of the new five-colored crystal within his Solar Spirit, which gave him an inexplicable sensation...

He could now share the Mind Magic with Taixu and even infuse it into Taixu's Altar of Rebirth.

"Grant me this gift!"

With that thought, a brilliant cascade of knowledge illuminated from within Taixu's form, deep beneath the sea.

Within Taixu, the Altar of Rebirth he had forged sparked with specks of multicolored light.

Each twinkle held the Spirit Magic that the Mirage of the Mind had mastered, along with a vast trove of knowledge about the soul.

"Thank you, my lord."

Deep under the sea, Taixu, engaged in refining two shells, conveyed his gratitude through the Altar of Rebirth.

Yu Yuan listened intently and understood every word.

"The Altar of Rebirth possesses such wondrous magic!"

He marveled in silence, his thoughts quickly turning to the Starborn Leo, the Dawnbringers' Canli, and the Blood Fiend Grec.

Each of them was born with their own Altar of Rebirth, though each altar bore distinct properties.

Grec's altar, a gift from the Root of the Solar Meridian, recognized his exceptional talent and had reached out to him early on.

Leo, hailed as the Starchild, had an Altar of Rebirth within him that held the profound essence of the stars, capable of absorbing their light and pinpointing their celestial positions.

Canli's altar could engulf any source of light, concealing the mysteries of luminance.

But who had bestowed these gifts upon them?

Was there an entity akin to the Root of the Solar Meridian that sensed their predestined greatness before their birth and thus formed an Altar of Rebirth within them?

Boom!

Yu Yuan's form shuddered as a sudden epiphany struck him.

Unaided by any external revelation, he grasped a fundamental truth.

The Altar of Rebirth within Taixu, wrought by the Solar Spirit, granted him the gift of eternal life!

And Yu Yuan himself, upon transcending to the Unbound realm and undergoing purification by the Primal Blood, had achieved immortality as the Solar Spirit transformed.

— This was the boon of the Primal Blood!

Leo possessed an Altar of Rebirth, as did Canli, and among the Otherkin of the stars before them, there were warriors born with an Altar of Rebirth who had attained the zenith of the tenth level.

None of them could achieve immortality!

This indicated that even with entities akin to the Root of the Solar Meridian supporting Leo and Canli, they couldn't grant eternal life because they hadn't grasped the profound meaning of life power.

Their Altar of Rebirth merely allowed them to surpass other tenth-level warriors of their kin in strength.

"The Altar of Rebirth can be crafted later on. For instance, my own existence was catalyzed by the Abyssal Leviathan's Sunsorrow. So, could I assist the Duskjaw, the Stormwraith, and the Three-legged Golden Crow in creating an Altar of Rebirth within their alien beast hearts, similar to Taixu's?"

Pondering this, Yu Yuan cast an odd glance at the three massive alien beasts.

*Wuwu! * Howl!

The alien beasts let out subdued roars and plunged into the ocean, seemingly in search of Taixu.

It appeared they were somewhat intimidated by his piercing stare...

"Ungrateful creatures!"

Yu Yuan huffed, causing the Mirage of the Mind conjured by the Divine and Demonic Creation within his Mindscape to vanish. He was about to converse with the Abyssal Leviathan when another thought struck him.

If the Root of the Solar Meridian could forge an Altar of Rebirth for Grec, and I could do the same for Taixu, then surely there were others who could have crafted Altars of Rebirth for Canli and Leo early on.

Could the Altar of Rebirth for Grec, Taixu, Leo, and Canli, which is part of their corporeal body and soul, exist in another form?

In the Everlands, does the Primal Soul, enveloped by Earthfire, possess a similar capability?

The Divine Throne!

In the consciousness of the highest primordial spirit, the Divine Throne materializes as a solid crystal!

The Divine Throne can transform into a cylindrical shape and also exist as a Divine Throne itself.

Given its versatility, could it also manifest as an altar?

A Soul Altar?

Every creature born in the Everlands, upon ascending to the highest level, gains the essence of the earth's core and fashions it into their own Divine Throne.

This Divine Throne could integrate with the Mindscape of a human, the Demon Heart of a Dark Deity, or the Devil Soul of a Terra Fiend.

Subsequently, both humans and Terra Fiends could achieve immortality.

Regarding demons...

The fusion with the original source was of a Demon Heart, reinforcing the corporeal body. Perhaps the demon soul of an archdemon was insufficient to bear the burden, which is why the Dark Deity still faced the limitation of a lifespan and could not achieve immortality.

The Great Demon God Bertain was the first to gain the favor of the Primal Soul, unlocking all the secrets related to the soul. Did his devil soul contain a Soul Altar akin to this one?

If that was the case, might I also possess one?

With this thought, Yu Yuan immediately sensed the mark of his soul within the depths of his Dominant Soul transform into an ethereal altar.

Boom!

The ethereal altar vanished in the blink of an eye.

It seemed that without another infusion from the original source of the Everlands, it could not become tangible, unable to manifest in a solid form.

Yet, within the mark of his Dominant Soul, all arcane related to his soul remained!

It was merely temporarily concealed.

At this moment, he sensed that his connection to the Demon God Bertain was subtly different.

It appeared to be because the Titan Spinosaurus had perished in the Everlands, and since the Titan Spinosaurus was forged from Primal Blood, carrying the profound meaning of life power, it had caused a subtle shift in the beings of the Everlands.

A deep, resonant roar from the Dragon Slaying Stage jolted Yu Yuan from his reverie.

The more he pondered, the more muddled his thoughts became. With a mere intention, he observed the massive violet gold dragon egg within the Dragon Slaying Stage, its shell beginning to crack.

The fledgling creature was stirring, its low growls clearly communicating to Yu Yuan its need to feed.

This time, it craved not only cosmic energy but also the flesh of its kin.

Yu Yuan paused for a few seconds, then turned his gaze back to the contented Abyssal Leviathan. "Have you finished eating? Do you have any remnants left? Could you spare some of her flesh for me?"

"Didn't I already give you a drop of her Sunsorrow?" The Abyssal Leviathan responded in surprise.

"It's not sufficient."
