Chapter 61: The Great Pioneer
Through the continuous understanding of Guò in the past six months, Leo has understood that the development process of this world is very different from the process of the earth.
On Earth, mathematics has its origins in the early productive activities of human beings, arising from the need for commercial calculations, understanding the relationship between numbers, measuring the land, and predicting astronomical events. In the Gaia world, the meaning of mathematics is more important, and the changes it brings to life are more significant.
Because before the birth of magical mathematics, various intelligent races had actually mastered some magic. This includes learning from creatures such as dragons and chimeras, some bloodline warlocks, and church priests. Through the analysis and imitation of bloodline spells and divine arts, the forerunner gradually acquired some simple spell casting abilities. But they didn't understand why they were able to cast magic. It can be said that the development of magic is a process of first grasping the phenomenon and then studying the principle.
This has been the case for thousands of years, and in the history of magic it is known as the Age of Dawn.
At that time, the mages had no dignity, and on the contrary, they were seen as unscrupulous, idle tricksters. Luckily, the power of magic was so small that no god even paid attention to it, so it wasn't nipped in the bud.
Subsequently, many great people were born in various intelligent races, and in one fell swoop, many great people were born, and in one fell swoop, the mathematics of magic was created, and it was carried forward, and finally the development of magic was led to the path of perfection, standardization, and sustainable development.
Leo hadn't heard the name Alex West in the history of magic, but he could guess that it was a great pioneer of magical mathematics.
With the advent of magical mathematics, more and more people became mages, and mages also banded together to form organizations to delve into magic.
This behavior finally attracted the attention of the gods. The gods realized that if mortals were allowed to master the power of magic, they would pose an uncontrollable threat to their own existence. If mortals no longer rely on divine magic, the number of believers will naturally decrease rapidly, especially at the higher levels, a large number of elites will turn to learn magic, and the power of the church will also suffer a heavy blow.
Over the next millennium, countless mages were captured, executed, and burned on firestands. The mages can only lurk, seeking a little living space in the opposition between the positive energy god system and the negative energy god system. This is the first magical havoc in the history of magic, also known as the Age of Scarlet Dawn.
But the terrible persecution did not extinguish the light of magic, and finally, the first legendary mage in the history of magic, Kel'thuga, was born. This human mage not only has great strength, a wise mind, but also an unparalleled personal charm. In just one hundred years, he has established a truly inclusive and free magical kingdom, and led mages of various races to take revenge on the Church of the Gods by using the opposition of positive and negative energy gods.
The war lasted fifty years. The population of the entire Gaia world has plummeted by half, and both sides have suffered heavy losses. And the Church of the Gods, which originally had their own thoughts, also had a split within it, and some believers lost their strict gods, and even fell and disappeared directly.
The gods eventually realized that if the war continued, the world of Gaia would be ruined. Under the mediation of Oba, one of the main gods and the god of balance and harmony, Kel'thuga signed the First Covenant with the gods on behalf of all the mages.
The content is that the Church will no longer persecute mages, no longer define mages as heretics and blasphemy, and mages will maintain respect for the gods and will never interfere with each other.
To the gods, this was a compromise on the part of the supreme to take care of the big picture, but to the mages, it was a glorious victory that heralded a new future.
When Kelthuga signed his name in the First Covenant, the covenant was imprinted into the rules of the plane, and his prestige reached its zenith.
Countless mages bowed to him and worshiped him as if he were a god. Naturally, Kelthuga ignited the divine fire, and after acquiring the godheads of several fallen gods, he also became the new main god who overcame all living beings and most gods, the god of knowledge and magic.
There has always been a saying in the mage world that the First God Covenant is actually just a conspiracy played by the gods, and since they can't defeat Kelthuga, then find a way to make Kelthuga one of them.
After Kelthug became a god, magic that was freed from the threat also developed to a new peak, countless great inventions emerged, countless theories were discovered, and this era was called the Age of the Rising Sun by mages.
But the mage is not a priest after all, and neither the Kelthuga itself nor his teachings are contrary to the meaning that the mages are pursuing.
And so a deformed product was born, the Church of Magic. Grief to discover that Kel'thuga had been corrupted, and not wanting to lose his eternal life, unparalleled power, and supreme authority, the mages set out to limit his followers and his former allies.
The magic of freedom is imprisoned, and the magic network is born.
The Church of Magic clearly stipulates that mages will no longer be allowed to build their own models of spells, and that any magic must be extracted from the magical network provided by Kelthuga. In this way, Kelsuga controlled all the mages, and as long as he wanted to, even if he was a legendary mage, he might not be able to cast even a level 0 mage's hand.
The mages are shackled and can only stagger towards the truth, and anyone who tries to resist will be mercilessly killed by the battle mages of the Church of Magic, which is the second magical catastrophe in history, the Age of Dusk.
Centuries later, the development of magic was completely mired, and the mages were no longer hopeful, no longer eager to explore, but only barely maintained the magical system using the power they had gained.
But there are always people in the world who can give up a qiē for the sake of freedom, and so another incomparable figure has appeared, that is, Antonidas, the greatest and not one of the greatest in the entire history of magic.
People like to call him His Highness or even His Majesty, but he likes people to call him Mr. or Little Anthony. He is not a saint, and he also has many shortcomings in his personality, such as **, tendons, and even some picking. However, such a person was able to become a legendary mage at the age of 35, and in his long life, he won the favor of Kelthuga, and finally fought back, destroying the magical network, killing Kelthuga and his many servants.
Just when people thought that Antonidas would become the new god of magic after receiving the godhead and priesthood of Kelthuga, he did not choose to become one of the gods, but opened up a majestic half-plane in the endless void of the Gaia crystal wall system, and opened it to mages of any race. Then he sealed himself completely before giving up becoming a god, and to all intelligent beings, including the gods who were about to move: "The magic of freedom will never **, all beings are equal before the truth!"
After that, the era that belonged to mortals and belonged to Lordaeron finally began, that is, the Age of the Bright Sun.
Leo could see that the general level of mathematics in this world should be comparable to that of the eighteenth century on Earth.
It was only at the end of the eighteenth century that Gauss, the 'prince of mathematics' on the earth, came up with the method of drawing the ruler and gauge of the regular seventeen-sided shape, and gave the conditions for the regular polygon that can be drawn with the ruler and gauge, which solved the problem that had been unsolved for 2,000 years. This discovery may not have too far-reaching impact on the scientific development of the earth, but it will definitely be more meaningful in Gaia, which Byron has never closed his mouth to see.
Of course, he has no interest in participating in the grievances between the teacher and Puser, and as for who is right and who is wrong, there is no way to judge at all.
Leo simply thought, "As long as I can finish this seminar." ”
