Chapter 50: Repairing the World
Xiao Chen floated in the air, surrounded by pitch-black nothingness, and under his feet was a boundless sea of clouds and mist, the churning mist was gray, and there were many large and small black and white balls of light floating on it, which looked like buoys on the sea. If you look closely, you will find that each ball of light is a small world, but everything in these worlds is frozen at a certain moment like black and white film, and no matter how the ball rises and falls, it will not change in the slightest.
Looking overhead, there is a huge ball of light the size of a house, and there are several runes on the periphery of the large ball of light, which slowly rotates around the sphere, wrapping the large ball of light in it.
A cluster of light separated from the corner of the large ball of light, and then turned into a smaller ball of light and flew towards Xiao Chen's side, and when it was near, the light cluster instantly elongated, turning into the image of the captain.
"Boy, it's you. The book spirit floated around Xiao Chen and said, "It seems that the Tower of Dreams does not have any power in the world anymore. In the end, it is up to you, a mid-level mage who is just qualified enough, to preside over the ceremony. ”
"I'm the only mage around. The words that appeared on the pages of the book were your signals, right?" Xiao Chen asked, "You said I was a mid-level mage?"
"Of course, if you cross the bottleneck of forging gods and truly reach the realm of divine thoughts and things, you will naturally become a middle-level mage. I have to say, your progress is incredibly fast. I expected an even more powerful celebrant to appear, but since it's just you, it's up to you to save that guy. The book spirit held his hands behind his back and looked at the ups and downs of the small world below with a somewhat lonely expression, "I originally thought that among them, there would be anyone who still exists." ”
"Them?" Xiao Chen wondered.
"This is the Sea of Ten Thousand Worlds, the center of the "Shadow Scroll of the Sea of Knowledge", these ups and downs are the silhouettes of the meditation world of other Dream Tower mages. Every time a mage forms his own meditative world here, he leaves a silhouette of the world. When they re-enter the "Shadow Scroll of the Sea of Knowledge" for various reasons, their silhouettes will be awakened, and they will become what they were meditating on at that time. ”
"Why did "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll" do this?"
"Perhaps the creators wanted to use it to explore the mysteries of the meditation world, where a long, long time ago there would always be mages coming in to study the construction and details of different meditation worlds. But then, they came less and less, and then for a long, long time no one came in until you turned it on again. ”
"And my world is here, too?"
"Look there. ”
Xiao Chen looked in the direction of Shu Ling's finger, and among the dense black and white silhouettes, there was a blue and yellow, particularly large sphere that was actually colored. When he looked closely, he really had his own meditation world, whether it was the sea, the boat, or the beach, the mountains and rocks were exactly the same as the meditation world in his mind now, "It's actually my world!"
"Yes. According to the words of your world, it means that you have logged in to the server of "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll" today, and your meditation world and the Knowing Sea Shadow Scroll are connected together again. If needed, we can enter your meditation world together. ”
Xiao Chen watched the scientific and technological words pop out of Shu Ling's mouth, and felt indescribably disobedient, but in this way, he did immediately understand the current situation. The users of other accounts are all hanging, and now he is the only active user in the entire server.
"Tell me what I should do to save Mao Kai. Xiao Chen said.
"Follow me. The book spirit flew towards the center of the Sea of Mists with Xiao Chen, "The essence of this Sea of Ten Thousand Worlds is the spiritual magic accumulated in the Shadow Scroll of the Sea of Knowledge. They are both a source of strength to sustain this holy text, and a source of material to help your magicians shape the meditation space. ”
Moments later, they flew to a place where the fog was particularly strong. The book spirit waved his hand to disperse the fog, revealing a meditative world like no other.
This silvery-white world of vivid colors is made up of countless bright silver gears, bearings, and levers, which are messily linked together. In constant motion, the core of the world is a metal platform the size of a basketball court. Mao Kai was in the middle of the platform, kneeling on one knee, his head shrugged, his chin resting on his knee, and seemed to be unconscious.
However, it is different from the clear shell of Xiao Chen's world. The transparent sphere that enveloped Mao Kai's world was covered with cracks, and it seemed that it could shatter completely at any moment.
"Only the Dream Remembering Method of the Dream Tower is the most suitable condensation technique for the formation of a meditative world, and his contemplation method is not suitable for building a meditative world. Although "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll" has helped him form a meditative world, this world is extremely unstable. According to his strength, he will definitely not be able to heal the cracks in the shell of the world, and now it is up to you to manipulate the power of the "Shadow Scroll of the Sea of Knowledge" to help him repair the world. Shu Ling said.
"Why was it that I could succeed and he couldn't?"
"Because you haven't practiced any mystical condensation at all, but your spiritual power has been strengthened by some kind of power. Forming a meditative world is like painting a lion in oil paint. You are a blank piece of paper, but he is a piece of paper with a bear drawn in line. Who do you think is more likely to succeed?"
"Okay, so what do I do?"
"You must use the mystic technique of the Tower of Dreams to summon the magic of the sea of fog to repair the broken place. ”
"But I won't. What other way is there?" Xiao Chen asked.
The book spirit pointed to the top of his head: "That big ball of light is my body, and the magicians of the Tower of Dreams have sealed most of my power in order to save my magic power. As long as you break my seal and let you have access to my power, I can help you repair his world. ”
Xiao Chen didn't agree to this proposal immediately, but thought about it carefully, he felt that the book spirit was like an artificial intelligence, who knew if the power that sealed it was some kind of limiting program? Maybe the magicians of the Ancient Dream Tower used these runes to suppress it so that it could work with peace of mind?
The book spirit seemed to see Xiao Chen's doubts, and he smiled and said, "How far you can break my seal depends on the order you give. If you're worried that if I lose the seal, it will be difficult to control, then you can choose to let go of it for the time being. As soon as I'm done with you and solidified this world on the verge of shattering, the seal will re-suppress my power. ”
"Here is a note of the unsealing spell that the builders of the Tower of Dreams left in me. After seeing it, you can be less suspicious. The book spirit beckoned to the big ball of light, and a small point of light flew down from the ball of light, turning into a piece of paper and falling into Xiao Chen's hand.
Xiao Chen read this explanation and found that what the book spirit said was true, and there were indeed two ways to break the seal.
"Boy, you have to hurry, because he won't be able to hold on for long!" Shu Ling pointed to Mao Kai's world. Sure enough, the cracks in the shell of the meditation world grew bigger and bigger. There are several smaller world fragments. It's on the verge of falling off.
Xiao Chen knew that he didn't have much choice, so he could only believe Shuling's statement at this time. He finally decided, "Okay, I'll temporarily lift the seal for you, and let you help me mend this meditation world!"
As he uttered a spell. The runes on the large ball of light faded away, and after a few moments, the chains of the runes were gone. Brilliant light fell from the sky and fell on the body of the book spirit. The big ball in the sky became smaller and smaller, and the body of the book spirit became more and more condensed, and the aura emitted became more and more powerful.
"It's a good feeling. It's like a patient who has been bedridden for many years and suddenly recovers his health. Hey, power, that's power. Shu Ling couldn't help but say, but when he saw Xiao Chen looking at him cautiously, he quickly restrained his emotions and nodded slightly to Xiao Chen: "Now we should be able to start." I'll help you mobilize your magic, and you can use your magic to tinker. ”
The spirit of the book turned into a white light and threw itself into the sea of fog. With the help of the book spirit, Xiao Chen found that his will was very easy and connected to the sea of fog itself. As he slowly lifted his hands, several branches of smoke rose from the sea of fog, like octopus tentacles. These branches are like welding torches, according to Xiao Chen's control, and the shell of Mao Kai's meditation world is constantly repaired. When the magic keeps pouring from the sea to the tips of the branches, condensing together and pouring into the cracks in the shell of the world, the cracks will gradually become smaller and smaller, and finally disappear.
Xiao Chen felt that he was a surgeon at this time, carefully using the magic power in the sea of fog to mend the wounds on the patient's body.
Originally, with the power of his mid-level mage, it was difficult to use the magic power in the sea of fog so easily, but with the help of the book spirit, everything became easier.
He didn't know how long it had taken him to finally patch all the cracks, and now the shell of this meditative world looked no different from his own.
"Why hasn't he woken up yet?" Xiao Chen saw that the figure in the middle of the meditation world had not changed much.
"His meditation world is done with the help of external forces, so it takes a long process for him to truly make this world his own. In reality, he could have passed out in a coma. He would not wake up until he had finished merging with his meditation world. ”
"Then all we can do is wait!" Xiao Chen said.
"My mission is over, and it's time for those forces to go back. But as a celebrant of ceremonies, you have to come here more often to feel the power of the Sea of Worlds. The book spirit grinned at him, and countless white energy poured out of his body again, flying towards the white ball of light. At the same time, the seal that had disappeared was now becoming more real. It's just that Xiao Chen didn't notice that there were several streams of white energy like sharp arrows, hitting some runes, so that these runes could not return to their original appearance from beginning to end.
