The process began a hundred miles outside Neo Terra Palace, where the surrounding wilderness had been cleared and quietly secured. Dozens of Emery's people were stationed throughout the area, keeping watch from a distance. Soltz stood among them, personally overseeing the security.
By the time Emery arrived, the grand formation was already in place.
His dark avatar stood beside it, silent and ready to assist.
Emery first brought out the three Grand Magus corpses.
The opening step, by all rights, belonged to an Apothecary Grand Master. Fortunately, Emery happened to be exactly that. More importantly, no one understood his own body better than he did.

Once he began, there would be no turning back.
The elderly human corpse went first.
