Bizarre Realm-Chapter 434 - 48: Soul of the Otherworld! Resurrection of the Dead

Setting Sun City is not on land; it’s a floating island located on the edge of the Great Strait.

Although Setting Sun City leans towards the warlock tradition, warlocks also need to spend money and consume vast amounts of resources, with a significant demand for magic materials. Hence, they have long noticed the Plane Trading Team established by Shawn, but it was only today that they took action.

The title of Witch King originated from the world of the Doomed Sun.

Because the Primordial Mage created the Witch Kings, and during the Dark Era, this heritage’s power was used to construct the seven Witch King Cities.

——"With the mighty power of magic and spiritual energy, you shall become a True God!"

During its peak, the Doomed Sun could control the energy of the sun, and most organisms on the entire planet had special genetic hereditary factors that allowed them to acquire certain spiritual talents.

Before the Witch Kings completely drained the planet’s life force, that world maintained a relatively high level of civilization.

In the Bizarre Realm, the seven Witch King Cities have not annexed each other, and their powers should not differ greatly. With Aemon’s personality, if Abyss City had overwhelming power, it would have annexed them long ago.

Tap!

After reaching an agreement, the Blood Elf snapped her fingers, and in the next instant, a Teleportation Array appeared on the ground. Subsequently, squads of soldiers and golem puppets appeared before the crowd, the most striking of which was a tall silver golem. It had incredibly smooth metallic lines, and its surface armor was inscribed with countless ancient runes.

——Mithril Golem [Large Construct] [Creation of the Ancient Elves] (Challenge Level 24)?!

The Blood Elf’s expression carried a hint of arrogance, and she smiled as she said, "To show our good faith and to secure this mining field."

"We will take care of the nearby monsters."

They had been eyeing the Plane Trading Team of Quinn-Toh for some time now. The peculiar caravan, mixed with humans and insect people, often brought in large quantities of rare items that seemed to be unearthed from deep underground.

The astrologers of Setting Sun City attempted to use prophetic skills for divination, but all results pointed to one name.

——Aemon.

After a period of thoughtful consideration, the Warlock Council of Setting Sun City ultimately decided to cooperate, especially since Abyss City was also one of the seven Witch King Cities, and Aemon’s reputation was enough to bring anyone to the negotiation table.

In the crowd.

The Blood Elf seemed quite interested in the members of the Divine Terra Church, constantly observing the Terra priests mingling among the crowd.

Initially, she also thought this Church was an organization of cultists, but with further understanding, she discovered things were not that simple, for those Terra priests indeed had divine grace. They were not transcendants following the priesthood path, yet they could pray for ’Divine Power’ and ’Divine Shield.’

With the spread of the Terra Church, over a hundred thousand believers could now provide a certain degree of Power of Faith to the will of Terra. Although it still couldn’t bestow divine arts, through rituals, they could still pray for a bit of divine power.

According to Shawn’s estimation, when the number of believers reached one million, the will of Terra might promote a true priest transcendant.

If priests appear, then the divine arts system will revive, and many healers will emerge within the Church.

Not only that.

If divine arts truly appear, then the Ranger Path will also gain casting ability. Currently, the Ranger Path primarily relies on robust physical constitution for combat, but after converting to the faith of Divine Terra, they will gain the ability to cast 1-4 level divine arts.

The magic civilization of the Otherworld has two pillars: one is divine arts, whose source of power is the Gods of Faith, and the other is arcane magic, whose power source is the World Law. The transcendants of the Bizarre Realm have always been limping on one leg.

What Shawn now intends to do is heal that crippled leg.

The base vocations for divine mage casters are ——Priest (priest), Druid, Paladin, Ranger (Forest Wanderer), and beyond these, there are other advanced vocations. Druids can directly believe in nature, enabling them to cast without relying on divine spirits, but if divine spirits grant divine arts, the advancement threshold for Druids will further decrease. (A Perception of 12 points is enough.)

What Setting Sun City most values are the priests, and the priests’ divine art ’Resurrection of the Dead’!

The Law of Death is in human hands.

So, if priests are born, can the ’Resurrection of the Dead’ also take effect?

This alone could draw countless forces to cooperate with the Divine Terra Church, not to mention their ability to discover the numerous mineral deposits hidden on this planet.

Regarding research on the ’Resurrection of the Dead,’ Shawn has actually already discussed it with Lady Hecate. If the body is reasonably intact, and the soul hasn’t decayed into a ’Shell of the Soul,’ and if death hasn’t been too long (no more than a day), there’s a chance for direct resurrection of the dead.

As for the cost, it will likely result in a drop in the extraordinary level and a permanent reduction of certain constitution.

In other Otherworlds, the Resurrection Technique cannot be used because the Death Gods disapprove, which would disrupt the boundaries between life and death, but in the messed-up Bizarre Realm, resurrecting some people doesn’t count for much.

Lady Hecate, in principle, agrees to the resurrection of the dead, though the Nether River will automatically guide the soul; if soaked for too long, there will be no memories upon resurrection.

Due to different World Laws, those resurrected will likely carry a bit of a curse, making becoming a Curse Binder not necessarily a good thing.
