Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos

Chapter 168. [Temple Of Summoning] Stunning Effects.

Liu Shu was thoughtful as she looked at the constructed building. The <Temple Of Summoning> that she finished was not giving her any notifications, even when she had completely finished everything.

'What's wrong?'

The World Tree couldn't help but look around it as if she would see a loose wall or something. However, the tree-like Temple Of Summoning was perfectly constructed. Regardless of where she looked, she could not spot any mistakes at all. 'What if I send energy into the building? I already used another 100,000 Aether Mana Shards and Anima Energy Shards for the runes on the walls... However, nothing has activated, even after consuming everything.'

Liu Shu pouted. 'Did I waste all that energy for nothing? System! Wisdom! Help QAQ!'

[System Hint: <Temple Of Summoning> is incomplete. It needs a connection.]

The World Tree was confused. 'Connection? What type of connection?'

[System Hint: Unable to answer. World Tree Tianlian Liu Shu should discover it by herself.]

Liu Shu harrumphed, huffed, and puffed. 'Silly! Stuuuuupid! Stupid system! Never giving me answers! Hmph! Wisdom! Tell me!"

[...]

[Wisdom: <Temple Of Summoning> is related to...]

Liu Shu was dazed when <World Tree Wisdom> stopped speaking. 'Huh? Do you want me to answer? Then... It is obviously related to summoning.'

[Wisdom: Correct. <Temple Of Summonin> is related to summoning. Therefore, while it appears complete, it is not because of one simple reason.]

Liu Shu waited again, but since no answer came, she spoke. 'Do I need to summon something there?'

[Wisdom: Correct.]

Liu Shu was dumbfounded. 'Really? Is it that easy? I've been looking at the building for three days straight, not knowing what was happening!'

[...]

The World Tree could feel the speechlessness coming from those three dots, making her feel a bit ashamed. 'Ahem! I am still the most clever Liu Shu! Anyway, let's get to it...'

With now an idea of what to do, Liu Shu channeled <World Tree Calling> onto the <Temple Of Summoning>.

As soon as she did so, everything went silent. A massive aura descended from the sky that enveloped everything while Liu Shu's aura skyrocketed.

This time, even the illusion skill on her flickered for a second, giving Flor a mini heart attack. She quickly checked on the other people looking and saw them blinking a few times. Her stomach tightened with worry, but seeing their faces show only confusion and return to normal later, she slightly relaxed. 'That was a close call...'

BOOM!

A massive aura explosion in the <Temple Of Summoning> occurred, creating a powerful wind shockwave that pushed everyone back one step.

Then, they all received a notification.

[You are under the influence of the <Temple Of Summoning>; you receive <Summoning Blessing>. Do you want to accept? You will be considered an ally when you accept]

<Summoning Blessing (D- Rank)>: While under the influence, you can have one summon out and avoid any Aether Mana or Anima Energy consumption.

All ally-summon stats are increased by 20%.

Summon energy maintenance is 20% cheaper.

The barrier between dimensions is faintly weakened in this area, making it easier for summoners to connect with other-dimensional beings.
