Chapter 1903: Aquarina’s Efforts
—–
The Divine Sunlight Halo, the Divine Golden Thunder Rings, and the Divine Star of Destruction are all embodiments of Divinity Fragments from False Gods and the Ant Goddess. Although these Divinity Fragments, Sparks, and Aspects merged when I forged my Divinity, they remain within it. My Divinity has been fusing with my Soulscape, creating a larger world inside.
This world, separate from my Dungeon, was growing more real than I could have ever imagined. It no longer felt ethereal; it was becoming physical and vast each time I checked.
There, the Halo, Rings, and Star float above the skies. The Halo hovers above the Star, while the Rings encase everything and rotate endlessly.
Fire, Lightning, and Destruction are my primary Divinities right now. I wish I could add Nature, though. It is one of my strongest affinities, alongside Fire and Light.
My current Divinity, the Heroic Divinity of Heavenly Sun and Thunder, works well enough for both Fire and Light. The Heavenly Sun Element encompasses them, and Thunder is a welcome addition.
However, there is no place for the Element of Nature yet, which frustrates me. It creates a disparity with the rest of my Cultivation, such as my Physique, the Divine Blazing Thunder Yggdragon Princess Physique.
The next time my Divinity grows strong enough, I will do everything I can to incorporate the Nature Element, hopefully along with Spirit Energy and something more.
While I refine this process, all my other Cultivation Methods receive a boost and benefit from it, helping me grow every aspect of my power at once.
I sat cross-legged, watching over Aquarina as I meditated. I gathered Mana and Spirit Energy into my body, letting it flow freely while breathing with deep tranquility.
My Spirits naturally sensed my presence and quickly began infusing their energies into me. This helped me refine their elements and powers more effectively. Our bond strengthened, and their spiritual souls grew stronger over time.
I felt no rush. Having finally reached Tier 9, I was relaxed about my current power and had no hurry to reach the next level anytime soon.
The gap between Tier 9 and Tier 10 is enormous. Even for the most talented, it often takes many years, and sometimes it proves impossible altogether.
Being Tier 9 at my age alone should guarantee a long life, free of worries.
If I wanted, I could indulge in endless leisure, stop studying, and do nothing for the rest of my days except occasionally hunt.
But what would be the point of living like that?
Though I was taking it easy with my Cultivation, I had no intention of slowing down. The System and the Talent I possess demand that I forge them endlessly to reach new heights.
My parents were already much stronger than I am at my age. Unlike us, they were trained constantly by many mentors and traveled the world without pause.
Their situation was far more dire than ours. Yet I cannot predict what might happen at any moment, so I must prepare nonetheless.
Hurrying is not the way, especially when forging and cultivating my Divinity. Still, this is the perfect moment to learn new Cultivation Methods and accumulate them.
Cultivation Methods are special ways to manipulate spiritual energy, mana, and the pathways they create.
Such methods can be shaped, reshaped, transformed, and formed into countless variations, much like magic itself.
In truth, they are a type of magic infused into the body. Cultivation Methods are incredibly complex Spells composed of hundreds of Runes.
Recreating them correctly demands immense time, talent, and effort, not something everyone possesses. Of course, there are Methods for everyone, even those at Tier 1.
The most basic, the Mana Breathing Method, is the first step toward Mana Cultivation. It enhances the growth of the Internal Magic Circle by refining Runes, upgrading connected Spells, increasing Affinity with Magic, expanding maximum Mana Capacity, and reinforcing the body to make it tougher, stronger, more agile, and perceptive.
Mana Cultivation is a phenomenal invention. I often wish I had access to it in my first life. That world was truly harsh.
So far, this is my progress in cultivating my Internal Magic Circle, Physique, Psyche, Spiritual Heart, and Divinity.
[Magic Circle]: [Tier 9: Rank 1: Divine Spiritual Alchemist Fairy Princess Magic Circle]
[Physique]: [Tier 9: Rank 1: Divine Blazing Thunder Yggdragon Princess Physique]
[Psyche]: [Tier 5: Rank 1: God Devouring Infernal Abyssal Thunder Demon Soul Psyche]
[Spiritual Heart]: [Tier 5: Rank 1: Divine Abyssal Cursed Rainbow Demonic Spirit Heart]
[Divinity]: [Tier 2: Rank 1: Heroic Divinity of Heavenly Sun and Thunder (Demigod Realm)]
After devouring Armageddon with my Soul and the power of the Curse, my Divinity elevated to Tier 2. That is where the Star originates, representing the Ant Queen.
I should aim to reach Rank 2 in all of them by the end of the year.
Thus, while Aquarina focused on her task, I continued with mine.
Esmeralda had been picked up by her parents a couple of hours earlier, leaving just the two of us peacefully immersed in our own practices.
That quiet togetherness felt truly precious.
As we spent our days this way, the end of the week finally arrived. Aquarina’s final day to complete her task had come.
By now, around 30% of the mountain’s snow had melted, but it was far from enough.
Yet she smiled confidently at Felicia.
After many days of trial and error, she had succeeded just in time.
As the sun shone brightest at 2 PM…
“{Ritual Alchemy}: {Grand Spirit Vein Synthesis Formation: Sunlight Mountain}”
FLAAASH!
Bright golden and red light erupted across the entire mountain. Aquarina channeled her enormous reserves of Mana into threads infused with Alchemy Spells. She touched the mountain’s spiritual veins and temporarily synthesized them, fusing them with the sunlight absorbed by the snow.
In an instant, the whole mountain blazed with light, transforming into a radiant golden peak of pure sunlight. To the awe and shock of everyone present, all the snow vanished at once, melting into flowing water or rising as fog.
For the first time ever, the Blue Mountain stood clean, revealing its true form as a peak of dark black stone.
“How about that, Master Felicia?! Am I qualified or what?”
“Hahaha…! I never thought you would actually do it. I was going to accept you as my disciple regardless. I only wanted to see how far you would go, but… this is incredible, Aquarina. Ritual Alchemy, huh? To think I would live long enough to witness a new branch of Alchemy I had never seen before. Well done! Rejoice—you are now my disciple.”
“You did it, Aquarina!” I cried, pulling her into a tight hug as we celebrated. Tears welled in her eyes; she was overflowing with joy.
“Yeah…! We did it! Without your help, it wouldn’t have been possible. Thank you, Sylphy!” Aquarina hugged me back fiercely.
