Chapter 2129: Chapter 1690: Memories Can Expand White Crystal

The Star Forger couldn’t withstand even a single strike from the Monarch, their entire form shattered, as the Monarch retracted the scythe, a massive White Crystal hooked onto the blade.

Negris stared at this White Crystal in surprise: "Such a large White Crystal, have they mastered the White Crystal Processing Method?"

Generally, White Crystals are of the same size, whether from Star Descendants nurtured by the Little Fireman, or those from Morania or Kelanis, their White Crystals are of the same size.

The strength capacity of White Crystals of the same size is also identical, which limits the power of Star Descendants, with Void-level being their ultimate limit.

No matter how strong a Void-level Star Descendant is, it cannot withstand a punch from the Monarch; if it weren’t for the Star Descendants having the Virtualization Star Shift ability, such combat capability would have been eliminated in Ange’s system long ago.

Therefore, everyone considered processing White Crystals to increase their size, thereby holding more power and breaking through the power limit of Star Descendants.

Through Durken’s repeated studies, the White Crystal Processing Method was successfully developed; now Ange’s side can already process White Crystals beyond standard specifications.

Originally believed to be their unique technique, unexpectedly, the Star Forger’s White Crystals are also this big. Could it be that they also have mastered the White Crystal Processing Technique?

The Monarch pinched the Star Forger’s White Crystal with their hand and calmly said: "Come out, I have questions for you."

From within the White Crystal, the Star Forger’s shadow timidly emerged.

The Monarch turned to Anthony and said: "You ask."

Anthony asked directly: "Why is your White Crystal so large?"

The Star Forger cooperatively said: "I went through an Awakening Ritual and subsequently changed professions to become a Star Forger, so my White Crystal was enhanced."

Awakening Ritual? Changing professions? What are these things? Everyone looked at each other confused.

They, of course, knew about Awakening Rituals and profession changes, as both the Magic Academy and the Church of Light have Awakening Rituals.

The Awakening Ritual of the Magic Academy is also called the Guidance Ritual; it is a ceremony to guide ordinary people in perceiving Magic Elements, hosted by a High Order Wizard. It activates the activity of elements in a short time, making it easier for ordinary people to sense the presence of elements, and then guide them into the body to awaken their Magic Talent.

Only those with Magic Talent can learn Magic. Completing this step allows one to become a Magic Apprentice.

Of course, truly gifted individuals don’t need the Guidance Ritual. Those with wealth, of background, have specialized Magic Teachers from a young age, building Elemental Affinity, guiding the perception of elements. They don’t need the Guidance Ritual at all.

Therefore, these rituals are usually held by the Magic Academy en masse, guiding hundreds or thousands at once to pick out a portion with talent.

However, even if the ritual doesn’t awaken Magic Talent, ordinary people can still enhance their spiritual power or improve their Elemental Affinity through meditation or taking Magic Potions.

As the saying goes, with strong spirit, no element is beyond perception. As long as elemental affinity is high, no element will reject you.

So the Awakening Ritual at the Magic Academy is more like a large-scale outdoor lesson, and at a kindergarten level.

However, the Awakening Ritual of the Church of Light is different; it is an event that can determine one’s lifelong fate, establishing future status and position. Shamara attained the position of Saintess through the Awakening Ritual, enjoying the best resources ever since.

Those who fail to awaken either become worthless or die outright. Divine Power is not easily endured.

The few who survive still become playthings for certain high-status individuals, especially since these candidates for Saintess are meticulously selected, with top-notch appearance and figure, plus they have been through the baptism of Holy Light, making them pure and pristine.

Besides the Magic Academy and the Church of Light, other religious organizations also have their own Awakening Rituals. But the Star Forger is a Star Descendant; do they also need Awakening Rituals and profession changes? Awakening what? Changing to what? Changing to a Divine Star?

The Star Forger said: "It’s the Awakening of Consciousness Fragments Ritual. There are some consciousness fragments hidden within the White Crystal of our Star Descendants; these fragments carry some life imprints and memories, which can be awakened through the Awakening Ritual to recall the memories of these life imprints."

"I awakened the memories of two imprints, one of a Forging Master and another of an Array Master. After awakening the memories, my White Crystal began to enlarge."

Anthony and others looked at each other puzzled.

Durken said: "They actually have a way to awaken the memories of Consciousness Fragments."

Ursman said: "It’s not surprising; the form of Star Descendants is originally condensed based on Consciousness Fragments, so carrying memories makes sense. What is truly strange is why awakening memories leads to the enlargement of the White Crystal?"

Durken suggested: "Could it be due to an array? Awakening memories is just an excuse."

Ursman said: "It’s possible. Another possibility is that new memories require a larger White Crystal to sustain them, so the White Crystal enlarges. However, if that’s the case, there’s a possibility that the awakening could fail."

Anthony turned to the Star Forger and asked: "Can the Awakening Ritual fail?"

The Star Forger said: "Of course it can fail. Failure is more common, with less than a thirty percent success rate. If you fail, the White Crystal will shatter."

Durken clapped his hands: "As expected, new memories require a larger White Crystal. Does this mean the White Crystal is a container for storing memories? The more memories there are, the larger the container needs to be. Can we turn this around and use more memories to expand the White Crystal?"

Ursman said: "Worth a try. The success rate being so high indicates they have already found the correct method, but we don’t know if the key is the memories, the array, or the carrying capacity, which can be ruled out slowly."

Negris’ eyes widened: "Just a thirty percent success rate, and you call that high?"

Anthony said: "A thirty percent success rate is high. It’s like Magic. If your Magic Circuit has an error, can you have a thirty percent chance of successfully casting Magic?"

Negris responded: "Of course not. If there’s an error at even one point in the Magic Circuit, it’s impossible to successfully cast Magic, unless the Magic has multiple Magic Circuits."

Anthony continued: "So a thirty percent success rate indicates that this Magic Circuit is correct; this path is feasible. Failure is due to other reasons, perhaps insufficient Magic Power, elemental backfire, spiritual interference, but definitely not an error in the Magic Circuit."

While Anthony was explaining, Durken on the side had already begun experimenting. He took out a blank White Crystal and started instilling memories into it. With a bang, the blank White Crystal exploded.

Durken took out a new White Crystal, muttering: "Instilling memories failed; the White Crystal cannot store memories alone. Now creating consciousness, then instilling memories into the consciousness."
