Chapter 10: The White Robe
With the help of the star map observed through the telescope, Kaichi made another prediction through his limited knowledge of prophecy.
The prophecy spells of the star system are rarely aimed at individuals, but more for legendary world events, and even the fate of a country cannot be accurately predicted. I think that if there is no cover-up, the prophecy spell of the star system is more accurate for the prediction of a legendary mage than for an empire.
This may indicate that for this world, the legendary mage has much greater influence than the human empire, or it may be because the legendary mage, as an individual, receives less influence from the outside world, unlike a country composed of many people, and there are more variables.
Of course, if you want to predict a legendary mage, you must be a legendary prophecy mage, but even a legendary prophecy mage can't predict the fate of a country.
In contrast, in many cases, crystal ball predictions are more accurate than astrological predictions, which are more general, but have a longer time span and can even predict events thousands of years later.
As a time-traveler, Kaichi wants to see if he has changed the world through prophecy. Of course, with his ability, this result is definitely limited.
The core of a prophecy spell is not an astrological sign or a crystal ball, but a Laplace demon.
We can think of the present state of the universe as its past effect and as its future cause. If a wise man could know the forces of all natural motion and the position of all the objects of natural composition at a given moment, and if he could also analyze these data, then the motion of the largest object in the universe to the smallest particle would be contained in a simple formula. Nothing will be ambiguous for this wise man, and the future will only appear to him as it has been. ”
The wise man in this was later called the Laplace Demon, perhaps because there was no such wise man in the world, so he was called a demon. Even the legendary gods have no possibility of knowing all of the past, although the followers of His Sect always claim that their gods are almost omnipotent.
This set of theories is called determinism, as long as you know enough causes, then you can deduce enough accurate effects, and the reason why the predictions are not accurate enough is that the current mages cannot obtain enough causes, and human beings have not been able to understand themselves, let alone that even human beings did not exist for a long time after the fields were opened.
According to this theory, if Jia Yi knows that he is a traverser and others do not, then he knows more causes than others, and should be able to predict more accurate results.
But unfortunately, he had a premonition before he started, and he couldn't predict anything, he took out the manuscript paper and calculated a lot of time, but what he calculated was the law of the movement of celestial bodies, he could only predict the trajectory of the stars tomorrow, next year, or even a hundred years later, but he couldn't do anything about fate.
"It's a pity that the laws of the celestial bodies have already been published by the Magic Emperor Clay Isaac, otherwise he would have published a paper. Looking at the manuscript paper in his hand, Jia Yi had a wry smile on his face.
Of course, if Isaac hadn't summed up the laws of celestial bodies a long time ago, it would have been impossible for Kayi to calculate the orbits of the stars so quickly.
It seems that he is afraid that he will be insulated from the prophecy in this life, and as he becomes stronger, the more clueless he has about the prophecy, he understands all the steps, but what he gets is indeed not accurate at all.
Of course, it is also possible that his influence on the world is not as great as he imagined.
He is actually a little lost, because he has not been able to break through to become a white-robed mage, and sometimes he has a fear that he will never be able to break through to the white-robed mage, so the magic power will begin to overflow and there will be no shadow of a breakthrough.
Especially after Yang Xi broke through to become a white-robed mage, he was also a little afraid that he would be stuck here forever, and there were more and more people who surpassed him.
Kaichi's understanding of magic is too rational, perhaps because he was good at physics and chemistry in his previous life, and no matter what kind of magic he learned, he would compare the effects of this spell with the effects produced by physics and chemistry.
For example, fire spells are the control of temperature and light, and ice and snow spells are the control of water and temperature, he has always wanted to unify fire and ice spells in terms of temperature, but has not been able to find a key point. And alchemy and potions, in his eyes, are mechanical engineering and chemical reactions.
All of this allowed him to learn magic faster than the rest of his classmates, but sometimes it was difficult for him to understand some less "scientific" magic, such as prophecy.
Although determinism may sound like some "scientific" truth, in the quantum realm, especially in quantum probability theory, determinism seems to be non-existent and has been greatly challenged.
So for Kaichi, prophecy is really an extremely unscientific thing, difficult to understand, and the more he knows about prophecy, the more this idea becomes, resulting in him now almost insulated from prophecy, although it is true that not every mage has the talent for prophecy.
Jia Yi remembered that Orlando said that he had a prison in his heart, so his understanding of magic was limited and biased, which limited his deeper understanding of magic, so he was unable to break through to become a white-robed mage.
Jia Yi didn't feel anything originally, but at this time today, looking at the night and stars above his head, thinking about his prophecy just now, he seemed to understand a little.
The knowledge of the previous life helped him get started with magic quickly, and it also made him learn faster, but it also made him susceptible to the influence of the knowledge of his previous life, and he wanted to correspond all the spells to these physical and chemical knowledge, but the reason why magic is magic is that there are unscientific places.
And "science" still has limitations, many things have not been explained clearly, plus he was a programmer in his last life, but he is not a physicist, and he only understands a superficial concept of some high-end physical and chemical knowledge, and he can't talk about understanding at all.
Now, he's trapped in his own obscurities.
Jia Yi never knew that there was such a thing as a cognitive obstacle in learning magic, and he didn't know how to solve it, so could he forget all the knowledge and learn it all over again?
Jia Yi didn't directly use the knowledge he learned in his previous life, he only used it after verification, such as sonic spells, he really caught bats and did experiments, and he didn't directly copy the texts he had learned.
So there's nothing wrong with his foundation.
The night was quiet, and the moonlight reflected the woods like a layer of red veil, mixed with the occasional insect chirping, but he felt more and more irritable, knowledge is knowledge, how can there be too many sayings to know, is his opponent a villain.
Jia Yi's heart suddenly turned sideways, and he began to violently compress his magic power, his magic power had actually been tempered thousands of times, and it had been compressed to the extreme, but this time his heart moved, and he continued to compress it, and with the compression of his magic power, his originally overflowing spiritual sea suddenly became vacant.
After the spirit sea came out empty, Jia Yi violently pushed the magic power in his spirit sea to rotate, as long as he could form a second magic vortex and fix a rune in it, then he could become a white-robed mage.
Originally, he would feel struggling before he reached this step, in order to avoid forcibly breaking through the magic and leaving sequelae, he would take the initiative to give up at this step, if he began to push the magic to rotate and solidify the runes in it, then he couldn't take the initiative to give up, either the breakthrough was successful, or it was a failure, and the good thing was to recuperate for a period of time, and if it was serious, it would leave sequelae, even like Imu.
Now, Kaichi has pushed the formation of the magic vortex, and it is impossible to stop.
Originally, he would never do such a reckless thing for safety, because he didn't feel the opportunity to break through, and it was very risky to forcibly break through, but at this moment, he suddenly had a whim, and suddenly mustered up the courage to ignore the consequences of failure, and forcibly pushed the magic to form a vortex and start spinning.
The magic vortex began to rotate, the speed became faster and faster, with the rotation of the magic vortex, the magic power in his spiritual sea was quickly compressed, forming a more condensed magic power, his original magic power was already very condensed, but now the quality has been greatly strengthened, and the volume is also rapidly decreasing, all of which have been sucked by the magic vortex.
A huge blank space appeared in the spiritual sea, and the magic elements from the outside world began to gather towards the spiritual sea, but the speed was still very slow, and the replenishment was not timely, at this time, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a gap in his occipital bone, and the magic power that originally existed in his body was like a big river bursting, and it suddenly flowed into the spiritual sea, adding to the spiritual sea.
With the replenishment of the magic power in his body, the magic vortex was finally formed, at this time, he carved the runes in his spiritual sea to form a magic circle, and solidified the magic circle into the magic vortex.
The white-robed mage is done.
