Volume 3 The Chaotic Present Chapter 122 The Causes of the Black Solar Eclipse
"I mentioned 'spirit' and 'reason' earlier, you should be able to understand this, right?"
"Uh-huh!"
"So under what circumstances will the 'spirit' be the main thing, and under what circumstances will the 'reason' be the main thing? Is it possible to have a world in which the 'spirit' and the 'reason' develop in tandem and go hand in hand? What kind of criteria is the world judged by, this is the 'High Demon World' and which is the 'Low Demon World'? β
Sister Yuya raised her hand and said happily: "Ah! I already know this, and it's judged by the amount of 'source' power in the unit space. β
Sister Yuna also said: "The more power of the 'Extreme Source', the more active the law of 'Spirit' will be, and the law of 'Reason' will be distorted and even suppressed......
The formal relationship with the twins and the conclusion of the true blood contract was the day before yesterday. After the contract was concluded, the twins became Fang Qiuling's most trusted partners. At present, the relationship between the two parties is temporarily "master and servant", similar to the form of ancient retainers serving the lord.
However, how long will this temporary master-servant relationship last, and will it eventually develop into a partner...... The twins think that this is an inevitable result, and it will be a matter of time sooner or later, depending on when their stupid master will open his mind.
Now that he has become his own person, he is his own person in every sense, whether it is in work or life. Then Fang Qiuling had to make certain preparations for them to leave Teldaheim and go to the present world. In the same way, it is necessary to prepare them for their journey to Elune.
The present world, like Terdaheim, belongs to the low-magic world. In terms of technology, we have entered the information age, and Teldaheim has already left the information age far behind. The inhabitants of Terdaheim travel to the present world, almost like the people of the future who travel back in time to the past. As long as you overcome the language barrier first and then adapt to the technological gap, there should be no big problems in the rest. Therefore, there is not much preparation, mainly in language learning and paying attention to customs.
But traveling to Elune is different. The biggest difference between Elune and the present world and Terdaheim is that Elune is a high-magic world, a world dominated by "spirits". Some basic magical knowledge, plane knowledge, and necessary self-defense martial arts need to be learned and practiced in advance. Therefore, Fang Qiuling contributed a lot of the books he carried with him, so that the twins could learn first.
"Yes, you're right. Historically, occult researchers have referred to the power of the Source when studying the spirit. The power of the 'Ultimate Source' comes from the 'Source Sea', which is the source of all occultism. Since it has always been said that the power of the 'Ultimate Source' comes from the 'Source Sea', let's use the beach as an example......"
Fang Qiuling used illusion to make a beach in front of him, and randomly placed several large stones on the beach.
The little goblin Fei's eyes lit up immediately when he saw it, and he got up from Fang Qiuling's palm with both hands and feet, and then pounced. The illusion has no substance, and the little goblin unexpectedly pounced into the air and fell straight down. But before it began to fall, the little goblin spread its thin wings and flew up.
She muttered and went to Fang Qiuling for comfort......
To use a more figurative analogy, these large rocks are a world. The sand is the law of 'reason'...... Oh, no, it should be said that the 'solid' here is the law of 'reason'. The sand on the beach is, and so is the big rock itself. Liquid, the sea water that rises with the high tide and low tide is the law of the 'spirit', and the sea water itself can be regarded as the 'source sea'. And then...... Let's say this big rock is Teldaheim. β
Fang Qiuling comforted the little goblin as he marked out a large stone that was half wet and half dry at the intersection of the waterline and the beach.
"When there is no seawater, when the stones are completely dried up, it means that this is a 'world without demons' and a 'world of dead demons'. However, this kind of world is rare, so rare that it is almost impossible to find. β
A very vivid analogy, my sister Yuna immediately began to draw inferences
"Hmm, hmm...... Our world is a world where water is on it, but the water is about to dry up, but the bottom of the stone is directly touching the sea. β
Sister Yuya then added: "Stained with water, it means that our world Teldaheim has the power of the 'Ultimate Source' from the 'Source Sea', but it is very small. The gradual evaporation of seawater means that the power of the 'source' gradually decreases...... It's no wonder that fewer people have abilities, and the power of abilities is declining overall. β
Terdaheim's civilization is many times more advanced than Elune's, and the census coverage rate is extremely high. It's no secret that the ratio between the person with the ability and the total population is easy to get as long as the central database is connected.
Fang Qiuling nodded approvingly, and then said, "The sea water under the stone ......"
As soon as he got up, his sister Yuna rushed to say, "Those places are hermits!" β
Sister Yuya clapped her hands and said, "Yes, that's right! It's the Land of Hermits! β
The Hermit's Land is another name for the land of the fallen gods, "Terda Rockefellino". There are many people with powerful abilities who have settled and cultivated in the Land of Godfall in pursuit of greater power. They live in the deep mountains and old forests, and live a simple life like ancient ascetics, so they are also called hermits. Gradually, the Hermit's Land replaced the Land of the Fallen Gods as most people's name for "Terda Rockeficino".
"That's it...... Master, your world should be a big rock submerged in the sea, right? β
"Absolutely. The owner's hometown, which is similar to this place, is also a half-wet and half-dry stone. β
Twins, you and I said everything Fang Qiuling had to say. This made Fang Qiuling slightly speechless.
- Aren't you two very clear and understandable? If you do your homework so well, why do you still come to ask questions?
The slightly subtle expression on Fang Qiuling's face made the twins stick out their tongues in unison. Sister Yuya even began to be coquettish again: "Master, master, what does this have to do with the gods you said about descending to earth?" β
ββ¦β¦ When did I say that the gods have descended to earth? β
"I just said it! That, that ......" You Ya learned Fang Qiuling's tone, "The gods will inevitably be pulled down from the altar and become a member of the underworld. β
Yuna nodded too, indicating that she had heard it too.
"Becoming a member of the underworld and descending to the gods are completely two different concepts."
"Huh!"
"Isn't it different?"
"Of course not." Fang Qiuling had to explain further, "To become a member of the underworld means to become a mortal, an ordinary person. Mortals have seven emotions and six desires, joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows, and the gods cannot experience such delicate emotions. As for the gods descending to earth...... To put it simply, it is better to think of it as a rich person going to the slums to experience life. Rich people can easily change the life of a poor person, and can make an otherwise 'ordinary' life unrecognizable. β
The twins showed thoughtful expressions at the same time, while Fang Qiuling continued.
"For example, the eldest lady of the Murong family. Even if she is the god of Hime, Fimilos...... In fact, I think that Miss Murong is unlikely to be the god Ji herself, and it is very likely that she should be the sage of the god Ji, or an apostle. After all, judging from the current 'Supreme Source' power density here, there should be no way to maintain the existence of a true god. Have you heard of any large religious factions? Probably not, right? Some may be able to maintain a demigod or a false god. However, demigods and pseudo-gods are a little stronger, in fact...... No, the upper limit of power here is much lower than Elune's, and the silver rank can go sideways. So ......"
Fang Qiuling's voice became softer and softer the more he spoke, and finally fell into a deep sigh thoughtfully.
Murong Qiuxue is the most likely to be a sage and an apostle. The saints and apostles are the agents of the gods in the mortal world, and they all need a "copy" from the godhead of the god in their bodies, the divine core. And the prism of the door can be regarded as a divine core.
"Master? May I ask a question? β
Seeing that Fang Qiuling was silent, her sister Yuna asked out loud.
"Tell me, what's wrong?"
"When you fought with Mr. Wei Chengfeng, there was a period of time...... I'd love to see a total solar eclipse. β
"Yes yes, I saw that too."
"But I asked the others, and they all said no......"
Fang Qiuling frowned slightly: "To be honest, this is also what I care about. I've seen this phenomenon in books......"
The door next to him opened with a "bang", and Zhang Dongchen poked his head out.
"Hey, Thulick! Are you talking about 'Black Sun'? Just about to ask you, either come in and we continue the meeting? β
"Oh......"
- After you sent out the dog food, did you think of me?
Back in the conference room, the eldest lady and the younger lady of the Murong family were whispering on the side. Judging from the tears on her sister Murong Qiuyu's face that have not been wiped dry, it should have clarified a lot of misunderstandings. As for whether Murong Qiuxue is the god of Ji Fei Milos himself, or the sage and apostle of God Ji...... It is Zhang Dongchen who is nervous, after all, he is his "Zhenggong Niangniang".
The image of Old Man Wei standing with his sword on the display screen in the center of the conference room has not been replaced, but it has shrunk a lot. There are several photographs of the "black sun" and a comparison of the same location and the same sky.
Sitting down again, Zhang Dongchen took the initiative to hand over a bottle of soft-packaged drinks, holding a bottle in his hand, and then asked Fang Qiuling:
"Thulick, what the hell is this...... What? It feels like a piece of space has been cut out, a space that is in reality and not in reality. β
Fang Qiuling took a sip of his drink, his expression was much more serious than before.
"Exactly, I don't know."
Zhang Dongchen's hand slipped, and the drink in his hand almost flew out directly.
"You ......"
"I really don't know. No kidding this time, I really don't know. I can only guess ......"
ββ¦β¦ So guess what it is? β
"I've only seen similar spell effects and descriptions in the collection of Weiyang Palace, so I can only guess. This phenomenon should be ...... 'realm', the power that can be mastered after stepping into the legendary rank.
"Field ......"
Zhang Dongchen chewed on the word silently, not knowing what to say for a while.
Fang Qiuling thought for a moment and continued: "You may not be very familiar with the 'realm'. To put it in a more familiar way, it's 'Inherent Enchantment'. What do you think? You should know what this is, right? β
"Inherent enchantment? This one is okay, I kind of know it. Zhang Dongchen obviously doesn't watch much anime on weekdays, and he is very familiar with the skill settings in anime, "What do you mean...... Old man Wei concretized the landscape in his mind, and then replaced the real world? β
"The inherent enchantment is a kind of 'spatial manifestation', which creates a 'mental world' conceived entirely by the person who casts this spell, and then temporarily replaces the real world with the conceived mental world. This kind of spell is essentially a kind of application technique in the field, and it is also quite advanced and complex application skills. β
Fang Qiuling nodded, then shook his head again.
"Dong Chen, you should know a little bit about the most basic spell knowledge, right? Even magic needs to be 'conservation of energy' and 'conservation of mass'. The more powerful the spell and the more complex the technique, the more magic power and mental power it needs to consume. The cost of opening the inherent enchantment is certainly not very astronomical, but with Old Man Wei's strength...... It's not that I underestimate him, he definitely can't pay for it! So ......"
"So?"
"So I guess most of it has nothing to do with the black weapon in his hand. You think, that thing was taken down from Ji Shen's mind, and it doesn't matter if it was cut down, or if Ji Shen took the initiative to make a clone, it's always right to think of it as 'divine consciousness', right? Since it is a consciousness with divinity, it creates a home field that is conducive to the play of one's own strength within a certain space. That's all in the past, right? β
Zhang Dongchen frowned: "Why did you say it in the past?" It doesn't make sense, right? Is it so unreasonable to have divinity? You can change it casually......"
"Yes, to be divine is to be so unreasonable." It was not Fang Qiuling who answered Zhang Dongchen, but Murong Qiuxue at present, "As a divine consciousness, Remnant can do a lot of unbelievable things. It can twist the law to form areas that are powerful against itself, or it can ...... Ordinary laws can be twisted and changed, and deeper and more complex laws can also be twisted, but at a higher cost! β
Fang Qiuling affirmed Murong Qiuxue's words: "Yes, that's right. Deeper Laws...... For example, the law of life and death. Just reverse it and ......"
A cold air rose from the soles of Zhang Dongchen's feet and rushed straight to the top of his head.
"Youβwhat do you mean...... ThatγThat will seek to resurrect Himejin? β
"Yes. In fact, this is normal operation. What did the gods not dare to do in order to leave a way back for themselves? Separating consciousness or something can only be regarded as a small scene and a small means. Dongchen, you have to be careful, there must be more than one of these things. I'm sure I'll be pestering you again in the future...... No, it's about you. β
