When the basic composition of a world is the four elements of wind, fire, water and earth, rather than the microscopic particles of a certain world, the world is no longer linked to science.

But some things are common, such as the methods and paths of intelligent life to study the nature of the world, which is determined by the different but similar mode of thinking and evolution of intelligent beings, if science is the exploration and development of the earth and nature by human beings, then magic is the understanding and development of the nature of the world by mages.

And because the basic composition of this world is the four elements, so no matter the development of magic civilization, elemental magic has always been the basis and technical reserve of many magic classifications, just as the technology of a certain world has reached the space age, and the tip of physics has reached the microscopic world, and the theories and research results of these two worlds can also reflect each other and promote each other, the most famous of which is probably the theory of relativity and extremely subsidiary research, his elaboration of space-time and gravity is the cornerstone of modern aviation, However, it comes from the analysis and understanding of the microscopic world such as the movement of electrons.

And the same is true of the seekers of truth in this world, bold inference, careful verification, and gradual analysis of the essence of the world are the only common pursuit of every mage, and sometimes, the understanding of the microcosm of the essence seems to be just a useless pure theory, but it can lead to the rapid development of practical technology (magic).

I'm afraid no one would have thought that in that sudden encounter, it was not Roland who was enjoying the dragon's blood bath, nor was it the goddess of wealth who was suffering and happy due to the skyrocketing wealth points and believers, and the pain suffered by the gods, but the loser of the war, Zero.

Hasselblad. In the language of the Taco Republic, it means amber. And in the midst of the snow-capped mountains. But there is the core of the icy plane, Hasselblad Castle.

Unlike the slave-born Esso, Zero was already in the heyday of the Republic, with its angular decorations, geometric patterns between the towers, the mythical beasts with buckles on the gates, the ice crystal waves on the frozen rivers and the vivid schools of fish in them. That's a legacy of ancient civilizations.

In the garden, the ice-sculpted maid moves slowly, serving the guests who are also made of ice, and the artists are playing, except for the normal human voices and the sound of music that should be played, the castle seems to still be in operation, but the empty ice and snow hall left behind in history has only a lonely throne, on which the owner of the castle sleeps, and the tail of the slender dress extends to the bottom of the steps.

Zero is sleeping. The appearance and dress that were similar to those on the main plane, but there was a small golden crown on the forehead.

But something doesn't seem good about her now. On the left side of the body is a biting cold and hoarfrost, while on the right side it is burning, as if there is a dividing line in the middle to isolate this qiē change, so that they do not interfere with each other.

The old emperor slept there, as it had been for thousands of years, only at this time, more ice picks were growing on one side of the throne, while the other side was beginning to melt, as if to suggest that something was changing.

In this world where qiē is stationary, time is meaningless, I don't know how long it has been, the ice and snow outside the outside world are still there, and the sky outside the window is still gray, but suddenly, a soft sigh sounded in the empty hall.

“…… Sure enough, only that one is possible...... I really didn't expect to be taught a lesson by the juniors...... Is this one of the essential rules of the world? ”

Although it is a self-question, she does not need to answer herself, and at the level of zero, her cognition can already change the world.

“…… Energy...... Could it be conservation? ”

For the master of this plane, words are power, her understanding is truth, and at the same time as the words fall, the whole world is lit up, and the golden brilliance extends from the throne, and many things are changed wherever the brilliance reaches.

Observing the existing zài, under the gaze of the Emperor, the world is changed, as if an invisible brush is coloring the world.

The snow-white ice and snow walls were painted with the color of gray earth, as if they had been baptized by history, and the skin of the doll-like ice sculpture maid had a little more flesh and blood on her skin, except for the eyes that were still crystal clear, she was simply a living person.

The ice flowers in the garden were dyed in color, and the ice fish jumping in the waves finally reappeared and jumped into the water, and the wheel of time that had been suspended for thousands of years was running again.

The area around the castle has also completely changed, the original snow-capped mountains have become green mountains, the frozen wasteland has reappeared with yellow-brown colors, and the amber of ice has turned into a pearl among the mountains.

“…… Is this what it feels like to breathe? This is the melody of a heartbeat? ”

The biggest change is probably Zero himself, the transparent skin has a fair flesh and a bloody red, and the empty dress has turned into a real silk satin.

"Knock...... Boom...... Boom. ”

The heartbeat that has been paused for thousands of years is alive again, joy and nervousness spread in the veins, inexplicable changes occur in Zero's body, and the accumulation of tens of millions of years has been supplemented by another world, as if she has encountered a stubborn stone that has turned into gold with a golden hand, maybe she is still the Emperor of the Undead, but at this time, she is neither dead nor alive, but she is no longer the she of the past.

"Zero? No, from today onwards, my name is 'Heng'. ”

Only those equally ancient consuls knew that in those times, naming oneself for one's highest achievement was a personal convention of "zero" who had discarded his name.

Glacier, river snow, frozen sleep, under the ice, zero, these represent the five stages of zero, and then the name "zero" has accompanied her the longest, and today, she has finally changed her name again.

But what is incomprehensible is that the scene of the cold on the left and the burning on the right has not disappeared, and the silky skin of the woman is divided into two parts from the middle, the skin on the left is fair, and the red on the right, the hair color on the left is silvery, and the orange red of the flame on the right.

"These ...... Think of it as a memorial. ”

But suddenly, she had just woken up from her joy and paused, and she remembered the projection clone she had lost. I'm afraid it's being parsed by the other party. You can get the information of the other party, and you can get a huge improvement like an epiphany. Then the other party can also analyze their own clones and obtain the same level of intelligence.

"Probably not...... It's just a doppelganger, and you can't get to it without a deep understanding of heat......"

And in the place she did not expect, in the small world that she had only experienced for a short time, there were also brushes that really colored the world, the white sea was painted blue, and the pale sunlight was painted orange-red. And the running wolves were painted a wayward grass green.

When his body fell into a deep sleep, the man's will descended on his own territory, and he changed the monotonous world at will.

And the one who was taken as the descent of the will, who diligently gave color to the world, was the lost incarnation of a certain undead emperor.

"No wonder this evolutionary ranking is still above the dragon's blood, this time, I really picked up a treasure. I got the key I needed the most. ”――

In a sense, necromancers are not fundamentally different from mages, and unlike bloodline warlocks who are born with the ability to cast spells, they are also scholars who seek truth. He is also good at turning knowledge and theories into tangible power.

If you insist on finding some differences, it is probably that the lower limit of necromancers is generally low. It is not only the lack of fear of the taboos and dangers of ordinary people, but more importantly, the goal of the research is "life" itself.

"Why do these limbs work this way? Why can't people move without this organ, so can't I move by piecing together those pieces of meat? And also...... What the hell is the soul! ”

And when it comes to the details, due to the limited energy and unlimited knowledge, it is as if the study of a certain discipline will inevitably specialize in a certain field of meaning, and the research of necromancers will naturally have tributaries.

There is no distinction between superior and inferior, just as those who engage in the application of technology are no less than those who make money in cutting-edge physics, and the archmages who specialize in studying the forbidden spells of the undead natural disasters may not have beaten the flesh and blood alchemists who are refined and hated, if they really want to compare with each other, they can probably only look at how far they have gone on their respective paths, and only then have the stages of epic, demigod and other describing realms.

Since they are all mages, just like the truth-level research results of ordinary mages, they are the only way to become a demigod mage, and if you want to make achievements on the path of a necromancer, you must also reach the top of your research field.

And maybe because the whole world is not friendly to the undead, the advancement of the undead is the most difficult, but the ordinary demigod mages correspond to the epic undead, they are already the authority of their own research field, and those undead demigod emperors, in fact, are not just the authority of their field, they even created a field where only they have their own zài, the only owner of a certain blank space, that is, they have reached the level of being recognized by the world as a zài, and they just save zài, so they have become the enemy of the world.

This is also the root of the fact that the Undead Emperor is obviously only a demigod, but he can enjoy the expulsion treatment of other evil gods and xenographic gods from time to time, in a sense, they have indeed gone too far in the forbidden realm, and have touched the most dangerous boundary line.

But no matter how far I go, I also start with the basic exam questions, if my basic exam question is "the quality of the soul", then, from the perspective of the mystery contained in which projection doppelganger, the "zero" research question is "the temperature of life".

"Why is the soul 21 grams?" "Why is the body temperature of most life (mammals, birds) constant at 37°?" "There are some similarities in some directions, they are all seemingly simple questions, which can be fooled at will, but if you want to answer them, and keep asking the most fundamental point, I am afraid that you have already touched the core mystery of this world—the essence of the soul, the mystery of life.

Yes, from the very beginning, those necromancers who studied the structure of ghouls and the enhancement of ice dragons were all fools who were dazzled by power and went astray, and the four elements went to the extreme, returning to the essence of the elements, so that there was the source magic of ice nightmare and the simple and powerful forbidden spell, and the necromancer magic started from the graduate students and the dead, and the final research topic was the same origin - soul and life.

I was able to go so far in soul science, in addition to my own attachment and the accumulation of knowledge in two lifetimes, my soul that does not fall into reincarnation is also unparalleled in the world, and if I want to reach the realm of the Undead Emperor that is impossible to resist in the normal way, in addition to those 99% efforts. That 1% of talent is also indispensable.

Although it is a bit frustrating and negative energy to say. But since the Emperor of the Dead is already "a realm that cannot be reached by normal means". Without those talents who are innumerable to the decimal place, no matter how hard you work the day after tomorrow, you really can't achieve it.

Just as I didn't have the experience of sharpening my soul in samsara, I didn't witness the nature of my soul in reincarnation, I didn't have the past of singing and bathing in the River Styx, and I didn't have the experience of repeatedly repairing my damaged soul, these are the only experiences at this time, and it is impossible to reach the realm of the Emperor of the Undead.

As long as the base is large enough. The environment of cultivation is good, and you have this 0.000...... 001% of the talents, perhaps should be called the talents of heaven, the talent of miracles, there will still be, but if they want to sharpen their talents to the limit, sharpen to the point that they must use the talents of that day to be able to divide the victory and defeat, I am afraid that a hundred years of hard work and luck are indispensable, then the number of people will naturally be small, because the "impossible realm" is too difficult to climb, theoretically speaking. The Emperor of the Dead who is less than 2,000 years old does not exist......

Are there exceptions? I'm only 300 years old to get to this point? In a sense, I want to thank the system. Without her help, the cheating general promotion, my accumulation would not be so fast, and it would not be possible to get to this point so quickly, and I still have the biggest cheat of knowledge in two lifetimes, in the field of research, if you look at things from a different perspective, the scenery may be completely different, and the change of thinking is the most stuck, how many amazing talents are stuck in the moment before that epiphany...... I definitely didn't map the dead cat, her problem is different from most epic undead.

Ahem, to get back to the point, in a sense, "Zero" is undoubtedly the talent of heaven that is almost impossible to exist, and it has taken her countless years to get to this point, her age ...... Well, just as we don't investigate the age of Heloise and Xiaohong, the ancient elves and ancient dragons this time, from a gentleman's point of view, we still don't want to investigate these ladies whose age is calculated in tens of thousands of years, well, it's definitely not that I'm worried that I accidentally think too much and leak out, and let the dead cat bite its head, and it's not because I've been so poor recently that I have to be relieved by the dead cat so that I won't starve...... One of her pets actually has a small treasury of private money! Believe it!

cough, to return to normal, "Zero" is a ghost, her innate ability is to plunder the heat of the contact, this is not a rare talent, she is not a special high-level undead, the growth range and combat effectiveness are extremely limited, but a little different, but the heat plunder of zero is particularly sensitive, when other ghosts are in contact to plunder the heat as much as possible, but she carefully divides the heat into the unit calculation unit, and plays various tricks through guò accurate calculation.

This talent may not have played much role in battle, but her ultra-high-precision grasp of energy has allowed her to make great progress in the study of negative energy, and finally set foot on the peak, and what made her truly enter the realm of the "unreachable" undead emperor is the result of "the driving effect of energy on living beings".

Under her talent, all the energy changes are clear at a glance, she can observe the changes of body temperature to ordinary life in great detail, and even, in order to extend the "negative energy temperature" of the negative energy magnetic field around the undead creatures, and other personal patent research fields, in her special perspective, just by looking at it, you can see the strength and weakness of the person and the undead, she is one of the best among the undead emperors in the research field of negative energy-driven undead creatures, and her undead legion is a real perpetual motion machine and negative energy radiation source, In the protracted war is the most terrible existence.

And when she sees energy as the source of living beings, she also has the ability to incarnate energy, the ability to split, and the real scary thing about zero is her perfect control of energy.

But she just stays here, she only knows the effect of energy on living beings and undead, but she can't understand the effect of energy in the changes of the whole world, it's not that she's stupid or conservative, but the necromancer's vision is always on the soul and life first, and she has no interest in the environment composed of inorganic things, and if you throw away the energy changes in those environments, how can you get the truth from the study of an individual alone, but many studies in this magical world are the idealism of "I see it, so I save it", It's so hard to figure out the truth.

Perhaps, someone reminded her, perhaps, she also learned some mysteries from the literature, but to the point where the Emperor of the Undead has reached the point where the real world in his heart is already similar to reality, and he can even project it to affect the real world, how difficult it is to revise and reorganize.

Finally, when an equal being, in a real world, in a way that her theory could not explain, he slapped her in the face, but also woke her up.

"It turns out that energy is conserved, it can be transmitted from the sun and the moon to the grass and trees, from the grass and trees to human beings, from the corpses of human beings back to nature, perhaps, our world is not isolated. Negative energy can also be transmitted and converted, perhaps, the end of the negative energy that drives the activities of the undead is the positive energy that makes life move. ”

And when she updated this concept, her world finally went further, the conversion of "negative energy" and "positive energy" broke the realm of life and death, fortunately, the Emperor of the Undead was already the highest title of the undead, otherwise it would be difficult to set up a special title and level for it.

In a sense, this is the result of the same research as Roland, the crystallization of the wisdom of the two undead emperors, and when Zero evolved into "Heng", Roland, who got part of the research results of the other party from the incarnation, supplemented his theory from another way, but gained more.

Originally, it was absolutely impossible for Roland to analyze the incarnation of Zero, but Esso gave him a lot of undead knowledge, although that knowledge was not necessarily better than Roland's, and the real exclusive research results were still sealed, but it was the standard textbook of the Tucker Republic and the general research theory of high-level necromancers, and Zero himself also grew up step by step through these theories, and with this knowledge, it was as if he had a key to open the door, and he could successfully analyze that incarnation.

“…… The energy cycle of the world has been reconstructed, and this is not the earth with only positive energy, and the cycle of negative energy is one of the fundamental reasons for the existence of the soul, and it is the true mystery of this magical world. Eye Zero is so easy to use! What I see is not necessarily the truth, I am limited by the idea of the past, this is not the pure material world of the past, this is a world of both spiritual and material construction. While I was trapped by the idea of this world, I was also limited by the scientific knowledge that I used to hold as a treasure. ”

At this moment, the broken "Crown of the Dead" was reorganized, but unlike the completely restored Ice Walker, this time the soul emblem of necromancy was the crystallization of the wisdom of the three undead emperors, but it had already gone to another path, and an even more difficult path had come to the fore.

It was a male face, but it was split in half along the midline, one side was a skeleton, the other was a living person, the side of the dead was laughing, and the living were crying, it broke the realm of life and death, and understood the essence of the soul, he was......

“…… Since he has grasped the cycle of life and death, then the judge who judges the dead is the most suitable for him, so he will be called the 'Styx Judge'. ”

There is no fuel-efficient lamp among the Emperor of the Dead, and Zero can get inspiration and progress from Roland, but Roland, as the victor, gets more, but it is limited to the strength level, and it cannot be fully revealed, but some gains can be seen.

At the same time as Roland made a breakthrough, the system's prompt also sounded.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully repairing the soul emblem and awakening the demigod-level racial talent 'Gaze of the Immortal' that was broken through by the 30-point intelligence breakthrough!] System Prompt: This talent is very dangerous, please use it with care. The system reminds you that this talent has the possibility of further evolution, so please be careful when using it. (To be continued......)
