If this "Ancient Array Divine Record" truly only dates back to the Shang-Zhou period, it wouldn''t really deserve the title of "Ancient Array Divine Record." To truly qualify as "ancient," it would need to trace back to the mythical times, the primordial era when heaven and earth first opened—the very beginning of the most powerful and ancient mythical age.


    Moreover, in Chinese mythology, "Shen" (God) isn’t as trivial as in Western or some other island country’s myths.


    "A Divine Record... this might really be a genuine record of ancient gods," Roselle thought after being stunned for a while. Recalling the system''s prompt, he quickly followed its instructions, gathering his spirit power and focusing on the HD images on his computer. Soon, a bright, concentrated beam of golden light shot out from the center of his forehead.


    The golden light seemed to scan each image with intent. After about ten seconds, the intense beam slowly dissipated.


    "''Ancient Array Divine Record'' fragment successfully collected. Scanning... scanning... Scan complete. It is possible to complete it. Would you like to initiate completion?"


    "Note: The ''Ancient Array Divine Record · Hand-copied Fragment'' contains a mysterious and profound power system. Completing it will require substantial time and spirit power for the system to simulate. Would you like to proceed with completion?"


    As the system asked if he wanted to begin completion, Roselle realized what he had stumbled upon.


    An incomplete hand-copied version of the "Ancient Array Divine Record"? And it could be reconstructed through simulation in his hands?


    What did this imply?


    Even though Roselle found just a copy online, the essence and heritage of such things don’t change, whether authentic or not. The system''s ability to extrapolate a full record from fragments was in itself an unimaginable process.


    Yes or no?


    Hell, that’s an unnecessary question. Not completing it would be foolish. Without hesitation, Roselle chose to start the completion of the "Ancient Array Divine Record."


    "Ding... The host has selected immediate completion, but the host’s current spirit power is insufficient for the system’s extrapolation process. Therefore, the system will intelligently apply a segmented completion and priority-focused completion plan. This plan requires the host’s further consent; otherwise, the completion plan will be terminated.”


    "Agree." After Roselle confirmed his consent, he felt the seven points of spirit power concentrated at his brow quickly drained, fueling the system''s simulation.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    As time passed in anxious anticipation, about an hour later, when Roselle vaguely heard movements outside, probably Hera returning from work, the system timely relayed information: "This completion has achieved two phases."


    "Phase 1: The complete restoration of the ''Ancient Array Divine Record'' table of contents. Phase 2: Successful completion of the first chart in the ''Ancient Array Divine Record.'' Further completion will require the host''s spirit power to fully recover before restarting."


    With the system''s synthesized voice ending, a series of data appeared in Roselle’s mind, placing the "Ancient Array Divine Record" under the "Host Skills" section.


    Focusing his consciousness on the ancient text, its pages opened to reveal the first entry in the table of contents.


    The contents had been fully translated into Chinese, allowing Roselle to instantly comprehend the meanings of the divine array directory.


    The directory listed nine divine arrays, increasing in complexity and material requirements from the first to the ninth.


    By the fourth array, Roselle no longer recognized some of the material names, showing how advanced it was compared to his current world knowledge.


    At the bottom, an additional method was noted, called the "Wu Refining Divine Method."


    Seeing these words made Roselle''s heart tremble. Wu Refining Divine Method? What an alluring and formidable name.


    It wasn’t cultivation of immortals or spirits; it was cultivation of gods—truly awe-inspiring. Tempted to delve into the "Wu Refining Divine Method," he encountered a barrier, with the system informing him it wasn''t fully restored.


    Of course, with only two stages completed, what he saw was merely the table of contents.


    Slightly disappointed, Roselle refocused on the other completed stage.


    The second completed stage was the first page among the nine divine array diagrams, the simplest and most fundamental, titled "Heavenly Shaman Spirit-Trapping Array."


    After careful examination, Roselle understood the purpose of this spirit-trapping array. As the name implies, this divine array is meant to trap all things related to "spirits." Anything connected to spirits within its range would be bound and trapped—truly a domineering array.


    "Indeed, it is a divine record—truly overbearing." At first glance, Roselle thought of the spirit-trapping arrays often mentioned in novels, assuming it merely kept spiritual energy contained to prevent dissipation.


    However, the "Heavenly Shaman Spirit-Trapping Array" was far beyond his imagination; it didn’t just lock spirit energy in place, it trapped everything related to spirits.


    In this context, "spirit" referred not only to spiritual energy but also to spirits, souls, and any life associated with spirits, all of which would be affected.


    This "Heavenly Shaman Spirit-Trapping Array" was truly unrivaled, yet it was the simplest and weakest among the nine arrays?


    The system used only seven points of spirit power to complete it largely because this array was the most intact and clear in the existing six images, requiring minimal extrapolation.


    "Immortal stones are Hetian white jades?" Further reading widened Roselle’s eyes in disbelief.


    Materials needed for the "Heavenly Shaman Spirit-Trapping Array" mentioned four high-grade "immortal stones," identified by the system as Hetian white jade, which astonished Roselle.


    Of course, while the array''s mention of immortal stones pointed to Hetian white jade, upon closer inspection, Roselle noted differences between the two.


    First, the former was truly "Hetian white jade," while the latter was called spiritual jade or Hetian spiritual jade!


    By the end of the mythological era, new immortals even renamed spiritual jade to "immortal stones," making them primary exchange commodities among immortals, a hard currency.


    So, what differentiated Hetian white jade from Hetian spiritual jade?
