392, World Engine (2)
"The most direct evidence of this is their independence, and to date, no third case has been found in the Aether Void.
Moreover, the free energies in these two planes are very different from those of the Quaternary, and completely different from the Tertiary, and we have reason to believe that they come from more ancient eras. Laura stepped forward to unseal the source, Wendy explained.
Adam frowned, feeling that this explanation was a bit far-fetched.
At this time, Laura gave the small one to Adam, and said, "You can bring this thing back to the mage world, it is harmless." Try not to break it, and while it doesn't seem to have much research value now, it might be useful in the future. Your question, aside from what Wendy said, I've sorted out a few things from the illusion fragments that the true spirit recorded. ”
Laura flicked a small ball of light onto Adam's forehead, and three discrete and incomplete pictures appeared in his mind.
The first is a dark void with faults.
The second is some creatures, I can't see what they are, I can only compare and observe that they are very huge, not the real body of the mage, they seem to be planes themselves, filling the void fault with their own bodies, and some creatures that look more vague seem to be living in their bodies.
The third chapter is a shattered afterimage, I don't know the cause, I don't know the result, you can only see from the picture that everything is 'evaporating'.
"All they told us was these three pictures, and then they died, leaving only the bodies for us to keep. Laura said.
Adam was a little incredulous, if the picture was real, then this big and small two groups of origin,
Originally a creature?!
Were they alive before!?
Laura: "If we are not mistaken, the system of the Second Age is the activation of the plane, and the creatures living in the Second Age have embarked on the path of their own evolution into the Void.
Maybe it's because there are too many creatures that evolve in this way, and they disperse a certain amount of energy in the void, or maybe they didn't survive some difficulties in the end, but unfortunately, they failed. ”
Adam: "Mage World...?"
Laura True Spirits: "Although they failed, the True Spirits felt that this line of thinking was desirable, and now we made the Origin a collective that carried all the mage consciousnesses, and the idea of evolving into a super life came from them, but we did not choose multiple sets, but concentrated all our forces to transform the mage world. ”
Adam couldn't help but think along this line of thought: "Even if the mage world grows to the same size as the Aether Void in the end, at most, it will only absorb all the energy of the Aether Void, and in terms of the total amount of energy, it is not enough to support the idea of breaking through the existing world..."
Laura True Spirit nodded: "You're right, of course it's not enough to use only the energy of the Quaternary Aether Void, if it's just like that, we can only end up reuniting into the 'Mage Void'."
However, there are also Hyper Void lifeforms in the Quaternary, and they carry all the energy of the Tertiary, so we must kill them and sacrifice them.
And if that's not enough, we're still there.
The reason why we are now striving to become stronger and seek the truth is that one day we will bring our existence to a level higher than or equal to the void, and add a fire to the final transcendence. ”
It is self-evident who we are referring to in Laura's true spirit, and if the idea cannot be reached in the end, all mages, whether formal, extradimensional, or true spirits, will choose to sublimate to the extreme, to win the slightest possibility of transcendence.
Adam muttered, "But at that time, whether it is successful or not, the mages will not be able to see it." ”
Laura chuckled: "Maybe you can't see it as an individual, whether you succeed or fail." But the mage is a civilization, success or failure, the flame of civilization will not be extinguished, and the inheritance will not be broken.
If it succeeds, the new mage civilization, whatever our descendants call it, will rekindle in a new world without the Epoch Tribulation, even more glorious than it is now. ”
Wendy also smiled and patted Adam's shoulder: "And, ah, and us, the task of the night watchman is to preserve and spread the fire of civilization, all the previous eras had life that could survive, the mage is so strong, will it be inferior to them?"
Mage, civilization, at this moment, Adam suddenly has a deeper understanding of these four very ordinary words.
———
After the conversation, Adam and Wendy returned to the Mage World Research Institute with a special origin, as Laura said, even though it came from ancient times, because the reason why it could be preserved was the origin of the mage world, it was completely harmless, and even Adam felt that it seemed to be more energetic after entering the mage world.
Although it seems a little strange to describe a corpse in this term.
Wendy poked at the Origin Light Cluster and said to Adam, "This thing is very interesting, do you know why His Majesty sealed them in the Origin Warehouse?"
Adam was very cooperative and said, "Why?"
"Because they create illusions, illusions that look exactly like the real thing, well, like that. Wendy said as she lightly stomped on the ground, spells appearing around her to separate the room, and she broke the seal of the light, allowing the soft light to shine on her.
Suddenly a realistic illusion is presented in the room, showing Wendy's inner thoughts, and the protagonists are Aisha and her, who was still a demon at the time.
When the light shines on Adam, there is also a vision around him with him as the protagonist.
The scenes are changing rapidly, and each one is very specific and three-dimensional.
Adam reached out and touched the object in the illusion, and unsurprisingly pierced through the past.
In Adam's understanding, the principle of illusion magic is to stimulate the senses to drive the body to secrete hallucinogenic hormones, and the changes in the body drive the feedback of the soul, low-level illusions deceive the senses, and high-level illusions dominate the senses.
However, the illusion created by the light cluster was completely different, it looked as if it were real, and there was no sign of energy fluctuations.
This is only the residual function of the corpse, and if it is still alive, it may indeed have the ability to create things in the void.
"If it weren't in an isolated space, this illusion could envelop a radius of 100,000 kilometers, and as long as the creatures in it didn't deliberately retract themselves, their every thought would be replicated. The large light cluster is even more powerful, covering an area 100 times that of the small light cluster.
This is only in an unconscious state, and if you take the initiative to inject the source power into it, the scope can be even greater.
As the world engine of the virtual world, there is no better fit for them. ”
