Odyssey of the Blind God

The Soul Reconstruction Ritual was a dangerous ritual that was hardly used in recent days.

If one wanted to undergo the Soul Reconstruction Ritual, one had to take a poison that destroys most of the Soul Space. It would restrict the number of monsters one could bind to the soul to the bare minimum in exchange for artificially enhancing her cultivation talent to the limit.

The Soul Reconstruction Ritual would use the fragments of the destroyed Soul Space to enhance the grade of the Mana Veins and the assimilation degree of her Mana Core. The more fragments used the stronger the enhancement. The remaining fragments of the destroyed Soul Space could be used to repair the Soul Space once again and increase the number of Familiars one could possess to a certain degree.

However, the latter was not something one would do as the personal maid of a royal family member. They would use the shards of the Soul Space to increase their Cultivation talent as much as possible while keeping the number of Familiars to a minimum.

The destroyed Soul Space would be altered through the poison as well, preventing Familiars of any other type than poison and darkness to be soulbound to the Summoner. Other than that, the number of Familiars one could bind to their damaged Soul Space was between two to four.

Nial felt that the poison and the Soul Reconstruction Ritual were quite dangerous. His Mana Veins were already at the peak as well. Thus, he couldn't be bothered to destroy his future potential by restricting the number and the type of Familiars he could bind to him.

It was a hassle, and not actually something he deemed necessary for Celine either. She was only six years old and already a full-fledged Summoner. That meant her mana perception was great, and that she had the necessary talent to become a powerhouse of the Lacardia Empyrean Void as long as she worked hard enough.

However, the Empress deemed it necessary for her to undergo the Soul Reconstruction Ritual because that was what every personal maid had to do.

Nial knew that the personal maids and butlers working for the royal family were the strongest, but he didn't expect all of them to have undergone the Soul Reconstruction Ritual.

Thinking about it, Nial felt that it made sense. The royal family's innate talent was already terrifying. Nial was only four and a half years old, yet he was already a full-fledged Summoner at the 6th Origin rank.

It was only a matter of time before he would reach the 10th Origin rank by expanding his Mana Core nine times. After that, he would have to fill his mana core with mana, liquefy it and compress it to create solidified Origin rings around his Mana Core, advancing to the Mirae rank.

No matter how fast Nial was, Celine would have to catch up to him, which was a big challenge. After all, she would have to create the strongest possible foundation in an extremely short period of time in order to keep getting stronger and stay by Nial's side as a bodyguard.

The number of mana droplets used to create Origin rings was essential, meaning that less talented Originals with a small and weak Mana Core, unable to amass too many mana droplets at once, wouldn't be able to create a strong Origin ring.

Thus, an Original's foundation was essential, and a predetermining factor of an Origin ring's potency.

Four commonly known ranks existed to grade Origin rings easily. They were called Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Superior.

As the name suggested, Basic Origin rings were the most basic. They were extremely weak and didn't require many Mana droplets to be created. The refinement degree they provided was also not that high, meaning that their creation didn't provide a big enhancement in physical strength and mental power.

Advanced Origin rings were the highest Origin rings that could be created without being an innately born genius, blessed by great fortune, or faced with great opportunities, which would expand the Origin ring and allow the creation of Superior Origin rings.

Other than the four commonly known Origin rings, there were also Unique Origin Rings. Only those blessed with great opportunities, unique constitutions, and a formidable condition can create Unique Origin rings.

Royal Origin Rings, using the cultivation technique of the Lacardia Empyrean Void's royal family, were such Unique Origin rings.

They were stronger than Superior Origin rings, providing higher amplification and more overall benefits.

Following this principle, an Original with 4 Basic Origin Rings was considered to have reached the 4th Basic Mirae rank, while an Original with 7 Advanced Origin rings was bound to be considered to have attained the 7th Advanced Mirae rank.

Nial ought to reach the 1st Royal Mirae rank in the near future. That was what he was working for.

However, something deep down in his subconsciousness told him that it was wrong, that he was not supposed to create Royal Origin Rings.

Why was that the case?

Nial had no idea.

He could only tell that he was supposed to create a different type of Unique Origin ring. He was not sure which type of Origin ring he ought to create, but his heart told him that the Royal Origin ring was not the correct one.

It was very confusing, but there were no answers to the questions that lingered in his mind.

Nobody could ease his confusion because there was nobody who knew about it.

Nial was not too sure why, but he felt that asking anyone about the three women and the other questions that lingered in his mind would create too much trouble.

But why was that the case?

Was he unable to see something?
