Once Jacob decided, he didn't hesitate. The next moment, one after another, Legendary Cosmic Vestiges of different shapes appeared in front of him, hovering in the air in a circle, releasing colorful brilliance and the dense presence of the purest elements.
If someone saw this scene, they would be absolutely gobsmacked by the number of vestiges in the hands of a single person. Only an entire faction could have so many vestiges.
After all, each legendary vestige means a legendary rank expert, not to mention Jacob's legendary vestiges weren't ordinary but cosmic rank ones, the highest ones there are!
Looking at all the legendary vestiges in front of him, a hint of complicated glint flashed past his eyes as the second phase's preparations were the easiest, yet they weren't at the time. However, just when he thought he could pass this phase without doing any mass genocide, the law ability mentioned by Immortika completely changed it. Although it was still Jacob's decision, he had already accepted this fate of being a demon and didn't blame anyone for his choices.
Perhaps the path he chose towards Immortality was a wrong one, or there was no other path at all, but Jacob won't regret it. He didn't have time for regret, and he can only continue forward without looking back.
Once the Legendary Cosmic Vestiges appeared, Jacob opened the page for the second phase and looked at the first longevity schema cosmic core point in the universal cosmic sequence. It required him to integrate the Legendary Cosmic Vestige of Aries in his Right Cubital Joint, the joint between the forearm and upper arm.
Jacob used his soul force to guide the Legendary Cosmic Vestige of Aries closer to his right cubital joint.
The moment it appeared closer to the cosmic core Aries point, Jacob instantly felt a rush of power. His infinity blood instantly stirred, and his cursed heart became active like never before.
The next moment, the runic lines of the longevity schema appeared all over Jacob's skeleton and shone in a crimson hue. Under Jacob's scrutinous glare, the runic lines between his cubital joint came alive, and a fissure suddenly formed between the joint, creating a twelve-pointer do decagram groove surrounded by the longevity schema's glyphs like an ancient altar.
Thereafter, a powerful suction force pulled the Legendary Cosmic Vestige of Aries into the Dodecagram groove. Despite the vestige's spiral ram horn shape and the groove's dodecagram shape, the cosmic vestige seemed to become like liquid and easily etched in the grove, creating a brilliant crimson dodecagram gem.
However, the moment the Legendary Cosmic Vestige of Aries fell into its place, Jacob instantly felt a terrifying heat wave spreading through his entire body, even his soul, as he was thrown into a pool of molten iron and the runic lings on his skeletal shone even more brilliantly.
Jacob clenched his teeth, and despite the burning sensation, he endured and moved to the next Legendary Cosmic Vestige since he knew he couldn't stop. If he waited for the Legendary Cosmic Vestige of Aries to merge completely, he wouldn't get that law ability.
Jacob then controlled the Legendary Cosmic Vestige of Taurus and guided it towards the left knee joint. The next moment, the same scene appeared as another do decagram groove formed in the Cosmic Core Taurus point position, and the Legendary Cosmic Vestige of Taurus, like the Legendary Cosmic Vestige of Aries, easily etched itself in the same shape, becoming a pristine emerald gem.
But Jacob felt another different kind of energy appear in his entire body, which was suffocating and heavy-it was the element of earth!
Yet Jacob still endured it. He could feel something within him begin to change, and the pain seemed to lessen a bit, which was quite surprising.
He then quickly moved to the next cosmic core point, the Gemini Point, located at the Cervical Spine at the back of his neck. He guided it there, and the Legendary Cosmic Vestige of Gemini, which represents the wind element, instantly began to merge on top of his cervical spine (1st Bone of Spine).
Once done, Jacob guided the Legendary Cosmic Vestige of Cancer located at the Sternum, at the center front of his chest, at the top of it.
Then came the Leo Point. Located at the Sternomanubrial Junction, it was the joint between the upper two parts of the sternum.
The sixth cosmic core, the Virgo Point, was located at the Occipital Bone, a flat bone that forms the base of the skull and the back of the cranium.
At this moment, Jacob had already etched six Legendary Cosmic Vestiges and started the integration process, and six types of elements were completely active in his body.
Jacob could feel his spiritual nebula changing and his power rising, while the initial seemed to have been suppressed. This could be the result of all these different elements clashing together and canceling their destructive properties, or it could be because of the uniqueness of his longevity schema.
Nonetheless, since things progressed smoothly and the pain was greatly subdued, Jacob was even more glad that he decided to merge with them all together. If he had chosen to merge with them separately, he might have endured terrifying torment 12 times.
Jacob then quickly moved to Libra Point, which was located at the Mandible-the lower jaw of the skull!
Without stopping, Jacob moved to the Scorpio Point, located in the middle section of the thoracic spine.
Continuing, Jacob placed the Legendary Cosmic Vestige of Sagittarius on the Lumbar Spine, the lower spine. Then he placed the Legendary Cosmic Vestige of Capricorn on the Sacrum, the base of the spine.
The second last cosmic point, the Aquarius Point, was located at the Cranial Apex, the top center of the skull and also the highest point of the skeleton. Finally, Jacob placed the last cosmic point, the Pisces Point, which was located at the Frontal Eminence, the crown of the skull/forehead.
Once all the Cosmic Points were filled according to the Universal Cosmic Sequence, Jacob's entire body was enshrouded with colorful, ethereal light, and an arcane aura was merging with him—it was like a cocoon of light.
But for Jacob, it was all meaningless because the moment he placed all the Legendary Cosmic Vestiges in their positions, his consciousness started to slip away, and he fell into a strange dream in which he started witnessing the birth of something magical!
