Chapter 247: A Realm Beyond the Reach of Mortals

(The title is wrong, it's 247)

Compared to Helena's statement, Vignier's expression is more academic in nature.

Of course, this also has to do with the object of expression.

After all, at that time, Helena was only explaining the alchemy of the gods to Xu Nan alone, and Vigneu needed to explain the concept of the Deception Society and the latest research progress to Stephen Sand's many alchemists.

He speaks very slowly, probably trying to report his understanding and research results while organizing the language.

Even so, Xu Nan still had a hard time listening.

That's too much jargon.

After inheriting Ron's bloodline, he was able to use a large number of lingua franca words, but many of the technical vocabulary Vigneueu used involved ancient alchemy, incorporating many words from High Elves, dragons, and even ancient gods.

Not to mention Xu Nan, even the real scholars are trying to keep up with Vignier's rhythm while flipping through the dictionary.

Xu Nan observed for a while and found that the alchemists were still very angry at first.

But now, with Vigneueu's speech, most of them fell silent and listened in silence.

I have to say that Stephen Sand's alchemist quality is still good.

Even when he heard doubts, no one took the initiative to interrupt Vignier.

Most of them had a deep look of doubt on their faces, but some showed a pensive expression.

In the hall of dusk, there was no sound except for the sound of Vigneure's subdued voice.

It's a desirable atmosphere.

Although they hold different views and philosophies, they are all absolutely serious and rigorous when facing academics.

It's no wonder that Stephen Sand's alchemy world has led the world for thousands of years.

Although Xu Nan was envious in his heart, he could only pretend to be able to keep up with the rhythm on the surface, and occasionally nodded.

"Otherwise, find someone to translate."

With a stir in his heart, he quietly unleashed a soundproofing spell and pulled Hofford over.

The expression of the magic cauldron at this time was a little strange, and the most common embarrassed face had long since disappeared, replaced by a look of confusion and confusion.

"You didn't understand either?" Xu Nan was a little surprised.

"Of course Horford understands."

The cauldron jumped up, and seemed a little emotional: "Horford is just a little confused. ”

Xu Nan asked, "What are you wondering about?" ”

Horford mused:

"According to Vigneueu, he actually believes that the ideas of the Equilibrium Society and the Deception Society are essentially one, and the so-called non-equivalent alchemy is actually just an extension and extension of equivalent alchemy."

Xu Nan suddenly came to his senses:

"What do you mean?"

"Can you explain it to me in more layman's terms?"

"I'm not too demanding, so I can barely understand what Vigniel is saying."

Horford grimaced:

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

Xu Nan smiled slightly:

"Do you still want to read the Book of Entropy?"

"I'll try!"

Horford looked like he was constipated.

He began to try to explain Vignier's general idea.

……

According to Vigneueu, non-equivalent alchemy is an expansion and extension of the alchemical content on the basis of equivalent alchemy.

At the heart of equivalence alchemy lies in equivalence exchange.

But as Helena said, the concept of "equivalent exchange" is actually quite fake.

The two things transformed by alchemy, even if some materials and materials consumed in the middle are added, whether these things have the same value has always been a very ambiguous concept.

Even within the framework of equivalence alchemy, equivalence exchange is fuzzy, which leads to the fact that alchemists are actually a very experience-eating profession.

The older the alchemist, the more popular he is, because he has more experience, and he often has a deeper understanding of the concept of equivalent exchange; In terms of details, it will also handle it better than the young alchemist.

With the improvement of alchemy proficiency, the success rate of alchemy will also be greatly improved, which actually depends on whether the alchemist himself has a relatively accurate grasp of the core concept of equivalent exchange.

According to Vigneueu's idea, since equivalent exchange is vague and subjective, is it possible to be bold - when an alchemist subjectively believes that a drop of water and a universe are equivalent, can the premise of alchemy be valid?

This point of view is actually the enlightenment concept of the alchemy of the infinite gods.

This is also the original theory of the Deception Society, which was proposed by an ancient alchemist from the time of the Arcane Empire, and was later inherited by the Deception Society, and became more practical with the development and refinement of Vigneueu.

Vigneu pointed out that there are two elements that hinder the emergence of divine alchemy in reality: the will of the universe and the will of the subject.

The will of the universe refers to the known, established rules of existence in the multiverse world.

The will of the subject is the alchemist's own values and related judgments.

The combination of these two determines the specific situation of the concept of "equivalent exchange".

In other words, equivalent alchemy is valid and perfect under the established rules of the multiverse.

As long as the subject will of alchemy itself makes a more specific judgment within the framework defined by the will of the universe, it can perfectly conform to the laws of equivalent alchemy, so as to achieve a magical transformation called "alchemy".

This is the basis of equivalent alchemy.

Equivalence alchemy is highly versatile and adapts to the will of the multiverse, so it has flourished in the past.

But Vignaeux argues that the development of equivalent alchemy in modern times has lost the opportunity for revolutionary progress.

The next stage of alchemy lies in the alchemy of non-equivalence.

That is, the alchemy of the gods!

If you want to master the alchemy of gods, the conditions are very harsh, first of all, the universe where alchemy transformation is carried out cannot be a "real" multiverse; Secondly, the alchemist's subjective will must be free from its own restraint.

The solution given by Vigneueu is: the former can be solved with the [Dark Side Universe], which is a multiverse that does not exist in reality, and is a very unique universe; The latter, on the other hand, requires the alchemist to change his subjective consciousness.

Theoretically, when an alchemist has no self-restraint and can firmly believe that the two things before and after alchemy are reasonable, then alchemy is valid.

And the greatest self-restraint of human life is shame.

Shame in a broad sense is a very broad concept, which Vigneu identifies as a unique psychology of human beings, mainly due to the group effect, the role of shame is to restrain the behavior of individuals, and it is also the biggest difference between humans and animals!

A person who has completely lost his shame can become a supreme god or fall into the abyss of darkness.

This is a realm that is difficult for mortals to reach.

At this time, Vigneueu himself was skeptical about the existence of human beings in this world who had "lost their shame".

But he offered other solutions.

That is the "alchemy of finite instability".

Relying on the world of the Dark Side Universe, the alchemist can get rid of the judgment of the will of the universe, and through the technique of self-hypnosis, as long as the two are subjectively and absolutely equivalent, then it is possible to complete a perfect alchemy with the support of the power of the Dark Side Universe.

Of course, all of the above is Vignier's inference.

In his speech, he said that his experiment was in its final stages.

He would try the alchemy of the gods once in his experiments.

In other words, he will be exposed to the relatively forbidden [Dark Side Universe] in the experiment!

The exact results of the experiments are unknown.

The historical Vigneu committed suicide after that experiment, and Helena became pregnant with the baby sun god.

Of course, these things can't be told to him.

Otherwise, there may be some terrible time paradoxes that can lead to even greater trouble.

Vigneu himself didn't ask.

He could probably guess that since he was pulled from history into the future by his friend Barbossa, his experiment might have failed.

Xu Nan didn't bother to think about whether it was the failure of Vignier's experiment that led to today's debate, or whether it was because of today's debate that Vigneueux was suspicious, and as a result, the experiment failed, and this unsolvable proposition of infinite nesting dolls.

He was more concerned about the two key words that Vigneueu repeatedly mentioned.

Shame.

Dark Side Universe.

The former is closely related to Xu Nan. His trait is shame, and his behavior tends to be shameless.

Helena also thought he was the so-called "Fearless".

The shameless are fearless.

This sentence was always imprinted in his mind.

He still couldn't fully comprehend the implications, but at least he knew that this thing was tied to his fate.

According to Vigneueu, he is indeed very suitable to inherit the alchemy of the gods.

The premise is that he must be qualified to access the Dark Side Universe.

Judging from the current progress, apart from the [Dark Side Universe Energy Absorption Array], Xu Nan has no way to contact the Dark Side Universe.

As Vigneu said, it was a very mysterious and eerie world.

There, there are traces of living beings, but the Arcane Empire has explored many times but has not found any living life.

It's more like a ...... there Ruin.

Or the cemetery!

There's an inexhaustible supply of energy there.

These energies have even supported the industrial system of the vast Arcane Empire.

If what Vigneueu said is correct, then there is still a magical soil for the development of God's alchemy in the Dark Side Universe!

"It's amazing."

"I have to admit that I was moved by Mr. Vignier's speech."

"But Horford still has the question to ask, how do we prove his idea?"

The magic cauldron sighed:

"Many years ago, Stephen Sand made the Dark Side Universe a forbidden place, and no research should involve the Dark Side Universe...... Except for energy, after all, it is impossible for the current Stephen Sand to get rid of the dark side universe energy absorption circle. ”

Xu Nan was stunned for a moment.

"Forbidden Land?"

"That's right." Horford was a little regretful: "If it were other universes, I'm afraid these alchemists would have gone to experiment a long time ago." ”

"Of course, if it's other universes, it's not their turn to confirm it."

"I've done it myself a long time ago."

Xu Nan thought for a while: "Don't you have any dealings with the Arcane Empire?" ”

"What do they think of the Dark-Side Universe?"

Horford sighed:

"Listing the Dark Side Universe as a taboo thing is still the meaning of the Arcane Empire, Stephen Sand is just the executor."

"They seem to have discovered something terrible."

"It's a pity that the God of Craftsmen is no longer there, otherwise I must have asked him to take me to the so-called Dark Side Universe to see ......"

He babbled a lot, and Xu Nan turned on the ignore mode.

No way, since being subdued by Xu Nan, Horford has had to get rid of his elegant and easy-going problem.

The sequelae are fragmented thoughts.

But broken thoughts are better than spitting fragrant mouths, Xu Nan doesn't want this guy to follow him, swearing words every day, in case Xiao Lina hears it one day, it will be a big incident!

……

The center of the Dusk Hall.

Vigneuel concluded his speech, bowing sincerely to everyone present, and then thanking Barbossa.

"It's time for me to go back."

When he finished his speech, he became a little overwhelmed and spoke in a low voice.

Barbossa nodded, watching him disappear into the thick history book.

The stage returned to normal.

There was silence in the audience.

This is also the first time that the alchemists of the Equilibrium Society have heard the concept of divine alchemy.

Although it was difficult to listen, these top students could still understand what Vigneure meant.

The speech was not necessarily successful, but at least it dispelled some people's preconceptions about unstable alchemy.

Prior to this, the alchemy of instability and the alchemy of stability seemed to be the two contradictory sides of the natural opposite.

But in Vigneu's speech, the two alchemy techniques are just two surfaces of the same thing under different alchemists and different cosmic wills.

If, his theory is true.

Then the entire alchemy world is afraid that there will be a big earthquake!

This is even more terrifying than the alchemical product of Paradise Lost hitting Stephen Sand.

Some imaginative alchemists have been able to imagine that after the large-scale popularization of alchemy of the gods, the productivity of alchemy has developed greatly, alchemy products have entered the homes of ordinary people, a large number of alchemy workshops have gone bankrupt, backward alchemists have lost their jobs, and the happiness of human society has improved, but a small number of contradictions will also intensify......

The reality is that Vignieux's experiment must have failed.

Whether the alchemy of the gods was his wishful thinking or real existence has also become a mystery.

Eventually, with the passage of time minute by minute.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the pen of the verdict.

Master Hammer bowed respectfully to the pen of ruling:

"We apply for a ruling."

"The verdict is: Is the alchemy of the gods mentioned by Mr. Vigneueu real?"

For a moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

The red spirit had long since stopped parkouring.

It crouched there quietly, and in the face of the alchemists' pleas, it responded indifferently:

"Who will bear the consequences of the ruling?"

The pen of adjudication is not an academic encyclopedia, it does not tell you the truth of the matter, but it can adjudicate the questioner's opinion under the condition of maximum fairness and fairness!

This is also a disguised way to explore the truth.

It's just that this method is very cruel, and it may even sacrifice the life of the questioner. So this method has long been banned by Stephen Sand.

It is an artifact refined by the God of Truth himself!

It is also said that the pen of judgment is the reincarnation of the missing God of Truth.

Barbossa took half a step forward, but was stopped by Master Hammer.

The smile on his old face was full of wrinkles:

"I'll do it."

"I am honored to witness this historic moment."

"Besides, the questioner shouldn't be a layman who doesn't know alchemy, can he?"

Barbossa's lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was quickly pushed away by Master Hammer.

The latter strode over to the pen.

He pondered for a moment, and suddenly repeated Vigneu's point aloud!

This is the most basic ritual for the questioner.

Everyone was slightly shocked.

Master Hammer eventually chose to believe in Vignier.

What courage is that......

As a master in the field of equivalent alchemy, it makes sense to choose to hold a judgment contrary to Vigneueu's.

"It seems that he had better be prepared to sacrifice a long time ago."

Horford sighed under his breath:

"This kid is only over 700 years old."

Xu Nan was silent.

This time, he didn't think Horford's words were outrageous.

In the face of the truth hidden behind the fog, isn't Master Hammer's desire for knowledge the same as that of a child?

The pen of the ruling shook suddenly, revealing its true body.

That's a giant quill pen!

Suddenly, the tip of the pen trembled, and the goose feathers on the pen body were scattered one after another.

The alchemists were looking forward to it.

Master Hammer stood on tiptoe with some excitement.

And yet at this very moment.

The body of the Judgment Pen suddenly spasmed.

The sharp tip of the pen became a little sticky and limpable.

"I ......"

"I can't rule ......"

It sounded lower and frustrating than ever.
