Chapter 45: The Nature of Infinite Energy (5200)
However, the moment Ian entered the Luminous Furnace, he slowly stopped his pace and stopped going deeper.
The Fairy Empress, who was holding his hand, stopped in place and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
What's wrong, Ian? Why did it stop suddenly? The Empress was a little confused, but she quickly noticed that Ian seemed to have something in mind, so she asked curiously, "Did the Luminous Forge give you any inspiration?" 】
"A lot."
Reaching out and touching the inside of the Luminous Furnace, Ian felt himself touching something big and distant...... If it were anyone else, he might not even be able to describe it, but Ian, as a 'prophet', could feel that what he had just touched was not only the immensity of power contained in the Luminous Furnace, but also a ...... A long time that spans the past and the future.
He turned his head thoughtfully, looked in the direction of the Falling Star City Square before, and then looked around the depths of the 'Falling Star City' where he was now: "Spirit Casting Machine...... There are similarities and differences from the arcane path I developed. ”
When he listened to the four goblin mentors introduce some of the abilities of the 'Spirit Casting Machine' he mastered, Ian had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't find the source.
But now, seeing the light element furnace in front of him, Ian was stunned.
First, isn't the ability to transform the soul the same as meditation?
Second, the ability to write life programs can be vaguely related to the 'essentia structure' and 'psionic structure', and further, it is the 'ether true body' and the 'imaginary machine god'!
Third, the ability to give life source power...... Isn't this the essentia hearth?
Although the actual operation is very different, which is why Ian didn't put it into one category in the first place, the more he thought about it, the more Ian felt similar.
Whether it's meditation or fairy souls, what is pursued is 'transcendence of the soul'.
Whether it is the self-constructing essentia structure or the self-constructing psionic structure, or even the final shaping of the etheric true body and the virtual realm mech, it is all the 'sublimation of the body'
Whether it is the power of grasping the source of life, or the 'essentia furnace' that grasps the power of one's own life to the extreme, the final end is the 'extreme intention of skill'.
"The soul of the source, the body of light, the radiance of the stars." Ian slowly said the names of the three major parts of the Star God Gift, and he looked at the Fairy Empress and saw the other party's surprised expression: "These are just a guide to tell us where the road lies ahead. Each different race has a different way to reach its own end, and what the goblins need may be the 'Soul Casting Machine' and the final 'Divine Casting Machine', while humans and other species with material flesh and blood may need my 'Arcane Path'. ”
"But whether it's elves, or humans, or some other strange creature, they still need a solid foundation."
"Energy."
Raising his head, Ian looked at the Luminous Furnace behind the Fairy Empress, the 'sub-perpetual motion machine' that rotated endlessly, without beginning or end: "The infinite of energy. ”
"Only beings with transcendent souls, sublimated bodies, extreme intent techniques, and sub-infinite energy can be called 'star gods'."
"No—maybe a little bit worse. But it's close. ”
"The Terra of the pre-epoch civilization was a spiritual civilization that pursued the soul of transcendence, and in this way created creations such as the Void Mekhan. The Flame of a Thousand Stars gave them the inspiration to sublimate their bodies, creating altered beings like the Crystalline Dragons and the modern-day Terra. ”
"The current Terra civilization is primarily in pursuit of great power, that is, sublimated bodies and infinite energy. But they don't have enough control, they don't have enough skills, so even if they shape the true body of the ether, they will have a short life. ”
With that, Ian turned around and reached out his hand to try to resonate with the 'Falling Star City' - but even with Ian's vast aether reserves and accumulation, it felt like he was trying to resonate with the entire earth, the sky and the sea.
- The 'Falling Star City', which has a light-element furnace and is inhabited by the entire goblin group, once activated, can almost be equated with the 'Fire God' of other civilizations, and even ...... Because of the accumulation of thousands of years, He will be far more powerful than the ordinary god of fire.
Unable to fight against the entire Falling Star City on his own, Ian withdrew his hand and smiled, "And the elves - you have the soul of transcendence, the skill of extreme will, and the light element furnace left by the star god, and now you are using the spirit casting machine to try to create a sublimated body that belongs to you. ”
"You are the closest race to the sixth level, and there is one proof of this, and that is...... Fairy Empress, you don't have the blood of the top seat, you are completely relying on your own strength, pure fairy immortality, to reach the fifth energy level! ”
【…… Not bad! 】
The Fairy Empress's expression was quite pleasant, and she gave a thumbs up and pointed at herself proudly: "Although I don't know why, after I died and came back to life for the third time, I naturally became the fifth energy level]
[Although at that time, there were quite a lot of fifth-level Elves on Terra, but I believe that I was definitely the first goblin in the entire Terra to reach the fifth-level with his own strength...... No, creatures! 】
"It's the strongest creature ever made in the history of Terra!"
Ian also praised from the bottom of his heart, because even he inherited Hilliard's legacy and the gift of the star god, not to mention the ether hearth of the ether crystal dragon and the chrono essence of the blazing hanging star dragon.
No matter how powerful he is, he is also a latecomer who has stepped on the shoulders of giants, but the Fairy Empress is a strong person who has stepped on his bones to reach a higher peak!
- But I'm also dead.
"I also sensed just now that the Luminous Furnace is not just a source of 'sub-infinite energy'." Coming back to his senses, Ian continued to observe the white vortex in front of him: "Empress, the Luminous Furnace is the 'Prophet's Weapon' held by the Elf-Falling Star City, right?" ”
The Fairy Empress laughed: "I knew the Prophet would be able to see it! 】
Ian nodded slightly, he sensed from the moment he touched the Light Element Furnace, the power of the Light Element Furnace was like that of a true dragon, affecting both the material world and the Void Realm, which was the most obvious characteristic of the 'Star God Creation'.
However, unlike the true dragon, the power of the Luminous Furnace comes from the 'Star God' itself, and it has formed a 'circulation' just like the 'Light Realm' in the Silent Sea.
The Celestial Circulation of the Light Realm inspired the King of Ember to burn in a cycle for 200 million years, and its body could continue to give birth to the 'Pearl of the Light Realm', that is, the prototype of the 'Body of the Star God' that was naturally conceived.
In a sense, the 'City Goblin' represented by Falling Star City is essentially the 'Pearl of the Light Realm' bred by the predecessor of the Light Elemental Furnace, which is also the Light Realm, but the goblins do not need the pure initial aether to continue their lives, but use it as a raw material, superimposed on the shells of many goblins, and shaped the current Falling Star City.
Just as the pure power of the Light Realm can help Ian connect to the Great Aetheric Circulation, so does the power of the Light Elemental Furnace.
It can also link the Great Aetheric Circulation.
"Knowing the past and the future...... The Luminous Furnace is essentially based on the power of the Star God, linked to a 'port' of the Great Aetheric Circulation! ”
Ian stared at the whirlpool in front of him and muttered to himself, "And although this port is extremely damaged, incomplete, and even a fragment - it still has the energy to continuously draw out the infinite aether in the Great Aetheric Circulation, and the goblins can see a lot of information in the aether, and then 'Prophet'!" ”
"Perhaps, all the prophets are essentially some fragments of star gods on their bodies. The fragments were small, but they formed a circulation that gave the prophet a glimpse of the past and the future. ”
"Just as those immortal fifth-level powerhouses pass on their psionic energy to others after death, after the death of the Father, His shattered fragments roamed the Terra, making some eligible people become prophets."
"Yes, that's right. Otherwise, no one can explain why there were not many true prophets in the pre-era civilization from beginning to end, but after the fall of the sky, the number of prophets and prophetic vessels even reached double digits. ”
"And a prophet cannot prophesy other prophets, in fact, because of the simplest thing."
"Prophet...... You can't prophesy about yourself. ”
This is the truth of the Prophet, and Ian now understands it.
And whether or not his 'guiding star' and 'foresight' were true prophetic psionic abilities can now be determined—they are true prophetic psionic powers. Because no matter what parallel time and space Ian is, after all, he used the gift of the star god as the basis to shape the guiding star, and then developed into the foreknowledge horizon that appeared.
This is also the power of the star gods—but not necessarily the power of the Father.
That's why Ian was able to circumvent many seemingly harsh conditions and predict all kinds of 'paths'!
[You really see through the essence of the light element furnace]
The Fairy Empress was a little incredulous, but she sighed with relief, "I had planned to let you retreat in the Light Element Furnace until you realize this, so that your prophetic abilities can be further enhanced...... Ian, I thought you were the strongest goblin who could surpass me.
[For I have tried to prophesy your territory with the Luminous Furnace, and the people around you—the Prophet cannot predict the Prophet, but he can roughly predict your future direction]
[Fate turns into a fork in the road behind you, one is eternal silence, the other is infinite laughter]
[It can save everything, but it can also destroy all ......]
I have carried you to the top of the mountain, but now, you have only touched it for a moment, and you have understood the whole of the Luminous Furnace. It's incredible, just how talented you are? 】
But not only that] Holding Ian's hand again, the Elven Empress motioned for Ian to truly go deep into the deepest depths of the Luminous Furnace: "Our elves' prophecies are very different from you humans...... You can only understand if you really experience it.
[Come, Ian, see the true ability of our goblin's supreme artifact, and its other name]
【Fairy Vortex】
"I'm looking forward to it." Ian followed the Fairy Empress as she stepped into the center of the white vortex.
Then, even Ian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Photoprime Furnace ...... It is not only the source of energy for Falling Star City, but also the rebirth pool of the goblin clan. Long ago, Birch had told Ian that if a goblin wanted to die forever instead of come back from the dead, they would throw themselves into the goblin crucible.
There, their souls will be shattered, and their spirituality, their memories, their instincts, and the source of all their birth will be mixed with other elves in the elven furnace, and then they will become newborn elves and reappear in the world in a new form.
Ian didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and according to his thinking, it was nothing more than disrupting the original data and re-randomizing it, and randomly breeding a new goblin.
He was right.
But many things, when shown in reality, are far more shocking than imagined.
The huge aether distorted time and space, and a huge subspace was forcibly supported in the originally tightly fitting virtual realm and the material world, in which the vortex of light swirled, and on the inner side of the vortex, countless regularly arranged spiral spikes protruded, forming a complex structure of curly tooth blades.
It is like the sharp teeth of a lamprey, and like a shredder that destroys everything, any soul that enters it, even a fairy soul, will be cut and sunk into billions of parts, and completely cease to exist.
And in the center of this spiral-shattering structure is a sea of pure aether in an almost liquid form, which is the sea of silver that has been shredded to the extreme, constructed from the pure aether of the star god and the remains of the fairy soul.
【Fairy Rebirth Pool】
In this sea of silver, Ian saw the faces of countless goblins, different goblin faces looming, some of them whispering, some chanting loudly, and the faces of countless different goblins vaguely formed a huge goblin face, and every detail of this goblin face was the face of other smaller goblins.
This is a very sacred and terrifying scene.
For thousands of years, even since the fall of the pre-era civilization, all the dead fairy souls have merged here, some of them chose to die by themselves, and some of them were too wounded to be resurrected, but now, they are all one.
In the boiling sea of silver, there were countless murmurs from the past and the future.
[In the year 357 of Terra, the king of the elves, the 'Blood Throne' Karance, ruled Canaan Moore and fought with the Great Khan of the Heavenly Court, and the war between the two sides destroyed the Plain of the Sun, and the Hanging Valley of Naian expanded, reaching the stormy ocean, turning into the 'Strait of Naan']
[In 822 years of Terra, the empire collapsed, most of Terra fell, [unobservable target] turned the spear of destruction to Yanjiang, and the contemporary Juyuan 'Lanthanum Heguang' Zhenxing 'Xun Lal' worked together to revive the twenty-seven great demons suppressed by Yanjiang, a twilight true demon and thirteen fire gods, and they would defeat the enemy at the cost of the collapse of the entire land. In 823 of Terra, Yanjiang fell, and the entire territory of Terra fell into the hands of [Unobservable Target]]
[Terra 1084, Terra Abyss was born......]
Expound.
Countless fairy faces, telling countless different events.
Some are talking about a happy party they had with their friends, some are talking about their contact with a little girl when they were born, some are boasting about their martial arts, and some want to tell everyone about the beauty of their wings.
Countless faces, countless interpretations, countless points in time...... This naturally includes 'past and future', those that 'did not happen', 'could not have happened', 'could have happened', 'will happen in the future', and 'could have happened in the past'.
Fairy Vortex, Luminous Furnace.
It speaks of the past, describes the present, and speaks of the future.
"This, this is the Luminous Furnace...... The source of the fairies! ”
Ian's eyes widened, if he were an ordinary person, he would not be able to comprehend the incredibleness of this scene, but it was precisely because he was a prophet that he was stunned: "It's-this! This is not something that exists only in the 'now' and 'this cosmic space-time'! ”
"This thing ......"
[This thing. In other words, this treasure is something that spans the past and the future, as well as many 'parallel time and space']
The Fairy Empress whispered, "Since I molded the remains of the Heavenly Father into a furnace using the method of 'Soul Casting Machine', all I wanted was to make a large Aether Furnace, preferably a 'True Aether Furnace' with sub-infinite energy, and use the Pure Aether of the Heavenly Father to accelerate the rebirth of our elves.]
[But when I cast it, I was stunned to realize that I had created something I couldn't imagine]
The power of the Father is not limited to our time and space. Ian, I know about parallel worlds, and I know about Krizen's 'Theory of Eternity', and he has asked me for it, and he has found the right way.]
[As long as there is enough immortality, pure enough ether, we can indeed shape a path to other parallel planes]
[Just like the Gate of the Silver Heavens, the light element furnace of our elves...... That's the way]
"Unbelievable ......"
Ian understood this at the moment, Korizen's idea could not have been born out of thin air, he had seen the Gate of the Silver Sky, but he must have seen other similar things, otherwise, he would not have been so confident in creating the 'Eternal Path'.
But Ian never thought that all this could be attributed to the goblins.
Yes, as the Fairy Empress said.
The Luminous Furnace is a creation that 'does not exist only in this universe'.
It exists in the past, in the future, and in other parallel planes - those elves, those crushed elf souls, merge with the pure ether of the light realm, even beyond the time and space where they were originally located, so that they can tell information about the past and future, and even the information of 'parallel time and space' that has nothing to do with the present space-time!
You must know that in this world, there is no elf king who is called the blood throne, and the elves are not unified even now.
And the 'unpredictable' who destroyed Yanjiang...... Ian was a little cheeky to think that it might be himself on the way to destruction.
As for the Terra Abyss nearly three hundred years later, it may be the demonic civilization born from the resentment of all life after the global end of the Terra World War.
This is the essence of the 'Luminous Furnace', the 'Prophetic Vessel' of the elves.
The past and the future are one, and the heavens and all the worlds are unique.
And, Ian saw something more important.
"Infinite Energy ......"
Slowly raising his hand and pressing it on his chest, Ian felt the slight vibration of the 'Aether Heart' in his body, and he stared solemnly at the endless vortex in front of him, and the 'Star Crown: Guidance Star' appeared in front of his forehead.
Using all of his observational powers, whether it's the Astral Gift, the Guiding Star, or the Prophetic Horizon, Ian finally got a glimpse of the nature of the 'Light Elemental Furnace''s near-infinite energy.
"From the past and the future, all parallel time and space ...... 'borrowing'"
"This is the nature of infinite energy?!"
Carvin, it's done, sleep!
