Chapter 338: Prayer Summoning
“Gurgle, gurgle—”
Jia Na, who was still meditating to restore her mental energy, had to interrupt her meditation due to the hunger in her stomach.
“It seems that even evolving into a semi-elemental Life form requires eating on time.”
After Jia Na advanced to a Third-level Wizard Apprentice, her Life form was no longer purely human, but an extraordinary Life form Between the Flesh and the Elements.
According to Jia Na's understanding, after a Wizard Apprentice evolves into a semi-elemental Life form, many of their living habits change. For example, a water elemental apprentice, in their water elemental form, can survive by absorbing water.
However, as a Plant-based apprentice, Jia Na, after transforming into her elemental form, can also maintain her health by consuming what plants need.
For example, water sources, soil, nutrients, sunlight—
All in all, it's not more convenient than directly eating and drinking.
“It is said that after advancing to a Formal Wizard, bodily functions will completely Disengagement the realm of ordinary creatures, and one can completely rely on absorbing magic power to replace previous nutritional intake.”
Jia Na took out a slice of bread from the refrigerator, spread some blueberry jam on it, and then sat next to the experimental table to eat until the hunger in her stomach disappeared. Only then did Jia Na finish with a bottle of bitter coffee with extremely high caffeine content.
“Before officially holding the Ancient God Contract ritual, I still need to prepare the ritual materials mentioned in the scroll in advance.”
As a special branch of the high-level summoning ritual—Prayer Summoning, the Ancient God Contract does not require complicated materials. In addition to the usual spiritual candles and silver-faced round mirrors, it also requires a ritual platform cast from pure yin obsidian.
If it were in a pure White Wizard academy, Jia Na might have to spend some effort finding an Alchemy shop to customize a pure yin obsidian ritual platform.
However, in any Wizard Academy within the Turin Wizard Gathering Place, a pure yin obsidian ritual platform is a fairly common experimental item.
After all, whether it's various Curse rituals, or negative energy summoning rituals like undead summoning and shadow summoning, they all rely on the assistance of an obsidian ritual platform.
Therefore, Jia Na didn't even need to leave the school; she could easily exchange for it in the magic crystal wall on the first floor of the Magic Tower.
“I wonder how Vivian is recovering now. Logically speaking, with her physique, she should have completely recovered after a full night's rest.”
Thinking of this, Jia Na threw the empty coffee bottle in her hand into the trash can, then changed into her wizard robe, pushed open the door, and left the dormitory. “This should be enough.”
Late at night, Jia Na, who had covered all the light sources in the room, was now sitting upright next to the obsidian ritual platform, lighting the spiritual candle placed in the center of the ritual platform with phosphorus fire.
Looking at the faint blue flame burning on the candle, Jia Na's pupils also flickered in the flickering firelight.
This afternoon, Jia Na left the dormitory and immediately went to Vivian’s dormitory. However, it wasn't until Jia Na reached the door of Vivian's dormitory that she realized the other party had already gone home.
So, Jia Na had to put away the cake she had specially bought for Vivian, then turned around and went to the first floor of the Magic Tower, where she purchased all the materials needed for the Ancient God Contract ritual from Black Cat Belle.
“Tick-tock, tick-tock—”
As the faint blue flame burned rapidly, crystal clear candle wax dripped from the candle, covering the center of the ritual platform.
“Next, it’s time to lock onto the Ancient God’s coordinates.”
The moment Jia Na completed the array inscription, a ripple like water waves spread from the mirror surface of the round mirror.
Seeing this, Jia Na also took out the white feather given by the Archangel Lucifer from her thorn bracelet.
The activation conditions for the Ancient God Contract are not simple. In addition to preparing a pure yin obsidian ritual platform, one must also recite a prayer in mitchis at the darkest and most yin moment of the day (midnight), until the ritual begins.
At the same time, the summoner must prepare a medium that can connect to the long river of history and lock onto the Ancient God’s coordinates, thereby summoning the Ancient God hidden in the long river of time to initiate the contract.
And this step is precisely the most difficult, and also the most challenging to succeed, in the Ancient God Contract.
Normally, Ancient God Species are often long-lived species with long lifespans. Their strength may not always be very powerful, but they definitely possess wisdom far beyond ordinary people.
With wisdom, there will be their own thinking and scrutiny. If the summoner's position is far lower than the other party, these Ancient God Species generally will not pay attention to the summoning ritual, let alone sign a contract.
In general, compared to the “luck-based” nature of Contract Summoning, the Ancient God Contract is more like a “fate-based” process.
After all, generally only those with special positions or special destinies will receive a response from the Ancient God when they are weak.
Otherwise, one would have to wait until they master the Law and become a Formal Wizard, using the elevated position from the power of the Law to establish a resonant frequency with the Ancient God Species in the same Law domain.
The reason Jia Na chose the feather given by Lucifer as the summoning medium, besides the Purification Law Fragment she mastered being from the same source as Lucifer, was also to leverage the high-level destiny of Evefresia, the former wielder of the Nature and Life Law: “Wise sage hidden beyond the river of time, please, under the witness of the eternal and unchanging starry sky, cross the corridor of time and space, and answer my call—”
Rapidly chanting the prayer constructed from lengthy mitchis words, accompanied by Jia Na's clear, melodious voice, the round mirror placed on the ritual platform quickly burst forth with dazzling light.
“It responded to the call so quickly.”
Looking at the light on the round mirror, Jia Na felt surprised and delighted, and her voice in chanting the prayer became even more urgent.
“Spiritual Body Shuttle—”
At the moment the Silver Mirror's light was at its brightest, Jia Na immediately activated her Spiritual Body Shuttle talent, allowing her spiritual body to enter the Silver Mirror, guided by the “feather.”
“Huh? Where is this?”
The moment Jia Na opened her eyes, she found that her location was not the Heavenly Holy World, but a completely dark starry sky where no light could be seen.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
Just as Jia Na was about to take out the “feather” to find the Ancient God’s coordinates, suddenly, the starry sky brightened, and billions of meteors, trailing silvery white fiery tails, rapidly surged towards Jia Na's direction.
