When the basic composition of a world is the four elements of wind, fire, water, and earth, rather than the microscopic particles of a certain world, the world is no longer linked to science.
But some things are common, such as the methods and paths of intelligent life to study the nature of the world. This is determined by the different but similar thinking evolution models of intelligent life. If science is human exploration and exploration of the earth and nature, then
Magic is the understanding and exploration of the nature of the world by mages.
And since the basic composition of this world is the four elements, no matter where the magic civilization develops, elemental magic is always the basis and technical reserve for many magic classifications. Just like the technology of a certain world has reached the space age, the cutting-edge of physics has
to the microscopic world, and
It just so happens that the theories and research results of these two worlds can reflect and promote each other. The most famous of them is probably the theory of relativity and its subsidiary research. His explanation of space, time and gravity is the cornerstone of modern aviation, but it originated from the understanding of the movement of electrons.
Analysis and understanding of the microscopic world.
The same is true for truth seekers in this world. Bold inferences, careful verification, and step-by-step analysis of the essence of the world are the only common pursuits of every mage. Sometimes, the understanding of the microscopic essence seems to be just useless and pure.
Theory can lead to rapid progress in practical technology (magic).
I'm afraid no one would have thought that in that sudden encounter, it was not Roland who was enjoying the dragon's blood bath that gained so much, nor was it the sudden increase in wealth points and believers, nor was it the pain suffered by his soul.
.The goddess of wealth who is in pain and happiness is the loser of the war—Zero.
"Hasselblad" means amber in the language of the Taco Republic. And among the surrounding snow-capped mountains, there is the core of the icy plane - Hasselblad Castle.
The ancient ice and snow castle has a decorative style with the theme of "history". Unlike Esso, who was born as a slave, Zero's era was already the heyday of the Republic, with clear-cut decorative styles, geometric patterns between the towers, and the door.
The mythical beast with the buckle in its mouth, the ice crystal spray on the frozen river and the lifelike fish in it. These are the remnants of ancient civilization.
In the garden, maids made of ice are moving slowly, serving guests who are also made of ice, and artists are playing. Except for the normal human voices and the music that should be played, the castle seems to be still in operation.
But in the empty ice and snow hall left in history, there is only a lonely throne, on which the owner of the castle sleeps, and the slender dress skirt extends to the bottom of the steps.
Ling was sleeping. His appearance and dress were completely different from those on the main plane, but there was a small golden crown on his forehead.
But her current appearance seemed a little bad. The left side of her body was covered in biting cold air and hoarfrost, while the right side was burning. There seemed to be a dividing line in the middle to isolate all these changes, so that they would not interfere with each other.
The ancient emperor slept there. Just like in the past thousands of years, but at this time, more ice cones grew on one side of the throne, while the other side began to melt, which seemed to imply that some changes were taking place.
In this world where everything is still, time is meaningless, and I don’t know how long it has passed. The ice and snow outside are still there, and the sky outside the window is still gray, but suddenly, a gentle sigh sounded in the empty hall.
"...Sure enough, that's the only possibility...I didn't expect that I was actually taught a lesson by a junior...Is this one of the essential rules of the world?"
Although she is asking herself, she does not need to answer herself. At the level of zero, her knowledge can already change the world.
"...Energy...can it actually be conserved?"
For the owner of this plane, words are power, and her understanding is truth. When the words fall, the whole world is lit up. Golden brilliance spreads from the throne. Wherever the brilliance reaches, many things
been changed.
Observation exists, and under the Emperor's gaze, the world is changed, as if an invisible paintbrush is coloring the world.
The snow-white city wall of ice and snow was painted with the color of dust, as if it had been baptized by history. The skin of the doll-like ice sculpture maid had a little more flesh color and blood color. Except for the still crystal clear eyes, she was simply a living person.
.
The ice flowers in the garden were dyed colorful, the ice fish jumping in the waves finally reappeared and jumped into the water, and the wheel of time that had been paused for thousands of years started running again.
But the surroundings of the castle have also completely changed. The original snow-capped mountains have turned into green mountains with shades of green. The frozen wasteland has once again been dyed with a yellow-brown color, and the amber of ice has turned into a pearl among the mountains.
"...Is this what breathing feels like? Is this the melody of my heartbeat?"
The one who has changed the most is probably Zero himself. His transparent skin has become white and fleshy and has a reddish red color, and his ethereal dress has turned into real silk satin.
"Dong...dong...dong."
The heartbeat that had been paused for thousands of years became alive again. Joy and tension spread in the blood vessels. Indescribable changes happened to Zero. Thousands of years of accumulation were supplemented by another world. It was as if he had encountered something.
The stubborn stone turned into gold with golden hands, maybe she is still the undead emperor, but at this time, she is neither dead nor alive, but she is no longer the person she used to be.
"Zero? No, from today on, my name is 'Heng'."
Only those equally ancient archons knew that in that era, naming oneself after one's highest achievement was a personal practice of abandoning the "zero" in one's name.
Glacier, Sichuan Snow, Fengmian, Under the Ice, and Zero, these represent the five stages of zero. After that, it was the name "Zero" that stayed with her the longest. Today, she finally changed her name again.
But what is incomprehensible is that the cold and burning scene on the left has not disappeared. The woman's smooth skin is divided into two parts from the middle. The skin on the left is fair, and the right is red. The hair color on the left is silver, and
The one on the right is the orange-red color of flames. At this stage, she can obviously turn it around at will, but in the end she decided to keep this appearance.
"These...just take them as a souvenir."
But suddenly, she paused as she just woke up from the joy. She remembered that the projection clone she had lost was probably being analyzed by the other party. If she could obtain the other party's information and get a huge improvement like an epiphany, then the other party could also analyze it.
Your own clone obtains the same level of information.
"Probably not... It's just a clone. If you don't have a deep understanding of heat, you won't be able to get anywhere..."
And in a place she didn't expect, in the small world she had just experienced, there were also paintbrushes that really colored the world. The white sea was painted blue, and the pale sunshine was painted orange-red.
.But the running wolves are painted in a willful grass green color.
When his body fell into a deep sleep, the man's will came to his territory, and he changed this monotonous world at will.
And the one who was taken as the descendant of his will, who was diligently coloring the world, was actually the lost incarnation of a certain undead emperor.
"No wonder this evolution is ranked above Dragon Blood. This time, I really found a treasure. I got the key that I lacked the most."
---------------
In a sense, there is no essential difference between necromancers and mages. Unlike blood warlocks who are born with the ability to cast spells, they are also scholars who pursue reality and are good at turning knowledge and theory into real power.
If we insist on looking for some differences, it is probably that the lower limit of necromancers is generally low. Not only is there a lack of fear of ordinary people's taboos and dangers, but more importantly, the research target is directed at "life" itself.
"Why do these limbs work like this? Why can't people move without this organ? Then if I put those pieces of flesh together, can I move? And... what on earth is a soul!"
When it comes to details, due to limited energy, unlimited knowledge. Just like learning a certain subject to a certain extent, you will inevitably specialize in a certain field, and the research of necromancers has naturally appeared tributaries.
There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority among them. Just as those who engage in technical applications do not make less money than cutting-edge physics, and a master who specializes in the forbidden curse of undead natural disasters may not be able to beat a flesh-and-blood alchemist who specializes in the creation of abominations.
Next. It probably only depends on how far they have gone on their respective paths, and then there are stages such as epic, demigod, etc. to describe the realm.
Since they are all mages, just as the truth-level research results of ordinary mages are the only way to become a demigod mage, and if you expect to make achievements on the road of necromancer, you must also go to the top in your own research field.
vertex.
And perhaps because the whole world is unfriendly to the undead, the advancement of the undead is the most difficult. The ordinary demigod mages correspond to the epic-level undead. They are already authorities in their own research fields, and those undead demigod emperors,
In fact, it is not just as simple as being an authority in their field, they have even created a field where only they exist. The only owner of a certain blank space, that is, they have reached a level that is not recognized by the world, but they still exist.
As a result, he became the enemy of the world.
This is also the reason why the Undead Emperor is obviously only a demigod, but he can always enjoy the expulsion treatment of other evil gods and alien gods. In a sense, they have indeed gone too far in the taboo field and have touched the most dangerous...
boundary line.
But no matter how far you go, you still start from the basic test questions. If my basic test question is "Quality of Soul", then judging from the mystery contained in which projection clone, the "Zero" research question is "Life"
temperature".
"Why is the soul 21 grams?", "Why is the body temperature of most life forms (mammals, birds) kept constant at 37°?" They are all similar in some directions, and they are all seemingly simple questions, casually
You can fool it, but if you want to answer it and keep asking the most fundamental part, I am afraid that you have touched the core mystery of this world-the essence of the soul and the mystery of life.
Yes, from the beginning, those necromancers who studied the structure of ghouls and strengthened them with ice dragons were all idiots who were dazzled by power and went astray. The four elements have reached their extremes and what has returned is the essence of the elements.
Only then did the source magic of ice and evil come into existence, as well as the simple and powerful forbidden spell. Undead magic starts from the researcher, the dead, but the final research topic is also the origin - soul and life.
I have been able to go so far in the study of souls. In addition to my persistence and the accumulation of knowledge in two lives, my soul that does not fall into reincarnation is also unparalleled in the world. And if I want to reach the realm of the Undead Emperor, which is impossible to resist through normal means,
In addition to the 99% of hard work, the 1% of talent is also indispensable.
Although it sounds a bit depressing and negative. But since the Undead Emperor is already "a realm that cannot be reached by normal means", without those countless talents after the decimal point, no matter how hard you work the day after tomorrow, it is true that
Unreachable.
Just like I have no experience of sharpening my soul in reincarnation, I have not witnessed the essence of the soul in reincarnation, I have no experience of singing and bathing in the River Styx, and I have no experience of repeatedly repairing a wounded soul. These are the only things at this time.
Even with experience, it is impossible to reach the realm of the undead emperor.
As long as the base is large enough and the training environment is good, there will still be some 001% talents, perhaps called talents of heaven, and miraculous talents. But they need to hone their talents to the limit, hone them
To the point where it can only be done with the talent of that heavenly being
To determine the outcome, I am afraid that hundreds of years of hard work and luck are indispensable, so the number of people will naturally be small. Since the "impossible realm" is too difficult to climb, theoretically speaking, the age is less than two thousand years.
The Undead Emperor does not exist...
Are there any exceptions? I am less than three hundred years old and have reached this point? In a sense, I want to thank the system. Without her help, my accumulation would not be so fast, nor would it be possible for me to improve like cheating.
Maybe I got to this point so quickly. Moreover, I still have the knowledge of two lifetimes, which is the biggest cheat.
Tools, in the field of research, if you look at things from another perspective, the scenery may be completely different. The change in thinking is the most difficult part. How many talented people with amazing talents are stuck at the moment of enlightenment... I absolutely
The dead cat is not mapped, her problem is different from most epic undead.
Ahem. To get back to the point, in a sense, "Zero" is undoubtedly one of those talents that is almost impossible to exist. It took her countless years to get to this point. Her age...well, as if we don't
To pursue Heloise, Xiaohong this time the ancient elf and ancient dragon are of average age, acting as a gentleman.
Degree, it’s better not to pursue these ladies who calculate age in units of ten thousand years. Well, it’s definitely not because I’m worried about accidentally thinking too much and letting a dead cat bite my head. It’s not because I’m so poor that I have to die recently.
Cats won’t starve if they receive help... She actually has a small treasury of private money for a pet! I can’t believe it!
Well, it's normal again. "Zero" is a ghost. Her innate ability is to rob the heat of those who come into contact. This is not a rare talent. She is not a special high-level undead. Her growth rate and combat power are extremely limited, but she is slightly
There is something different, but Zero is particularly sensitive to heat plundering. While other ghosts plunder as much heat as possible when they come into contact, she carefully divides the heat into calculation units, and plays various tricks through precise calculations.
tricks.
This talent may not have played much role in battle, but her ultra-high-precision grasp of energy allowed her to make rapid progress in the research of negative energy, and finally reached the pinnacle, allowing her to truly enter the "unreachable" state.
What leads to the realm of the Undead Emperor is the achievement of "the driving effect of energy on living things".
With her talent, all energy changes are clear at a glance. She can carefully observe the changes in body temperature to ordinary life, and even use this to develop personal patented research on "negative energy temperature" of negative energy magnetic fields around undead creatures.
field, in her special perspective
, just by looking at her, you can see the strength and weakness of the undead. She is one of the best among the undead emperors in the research field of negative energy driving undead creatures. Her undead army is a real perpetual motion machine and negative energy.
Energy radiation sources are the most terrifying existence in a protracted war.
And after regarding energy as the source of existence for living things, she also has the ability to incarnate energy and split the incarnation of ability. The truly terrifying thing about Zero is her perfect control of energy.
But she stayed here. She only knew the effect of energy on living things and the undead, but could not understand the role of energy in the changes of the entire world. This was not because she was stupid or conservative, but because the necromancer's vision was always in the soul.
and the supremacy of life, to those inorganic structures
The environment is completely uninteresting, and if you discard the energy changes in the environment, how can you get the truth from the research of an individual alone? However, many researches in this magical world are based on "I see it, so it exists"
Idealism, how difficult it is to come up with the truth.
Perhaps, someone had reminded her, perhaps, she also learned some secrets from the literature, but at this stage of the undead emperor, the real world in his heart is already different from reality, and can even be projected to affect the real world, and he wants to revise and reorganize it.
How difficult it is.
Finally, when an equal being slapped her face hard in a real world and in a way that her theory could not explain, it also woke her up.
"It turns out that energy is conserved. It can be transferred from the sun and the moon to the grass and trees, from the grass and trees to humans, and from human corpses back to nature. Perhaps, our world is not isolated. Negative energy can also be transferred and converted. Perhaps,
The end of the negative energy that drives the undead to move is the positive energy that moves life.”
And when she updated this concept, her world finally took a step further. The conversion of "negative energy" and "positive energy" broke the realm of life and death. Fortunately, the Undead Emperor is already the highest title of the undead, otherwise it would be impossible.
It's not good to have to set up a special title and level for it.
In a sense, this is the research result that reached the same goal as Roland by different paths. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of the two undead emperors. When Zero evolved into "Eternal", Roland, who got part of the other's research results from his incarnation,
I supplemented my theory from another way and gained more.
Originally, it was absolutely impossible for Roland to analyze the incarnation of Zero, but Esso gave him a lot of knowledge about the undead. Although that knowledge may not be better than Roland's, and the real exclusive research results are still sealed, it is the tower's secret.
The standard textbook of the Republic of Croatia and the general research theory of high-level necromancers, and Zero himself has grown step by step through these theories. With this knowledge, it is like having the key to open the door, and he can successfully analyze the incarnation.
"...The energy cycle of the world has been rebuilt. This is not the earth with only positive energy. The cycle of negative energy is one of the fundamental reasons for the existence of the soul and the true mystery of this magical world. Zero's eyes are so good
Use it! What I see is not necessarily true. I am limited by the concepts of the past. This is not the purely material world in the past. This is a world constructed of both spirit and material. In zero, I am trapped by the concepts of this world.
While living there, I was also restricted by the scientific knowledge that I used to regard as a treasure."
At this moment, the broken "Crown of the Dead" was reorganized, but unlike the completely repaired Ice Walker, this time the soul emblem of undead magic was the crystallization of the wisdom of the three undead emperors, but it had already gone to another place.
A road, a more difficult road has arrived.
It was a male face, but it was divided into two halves along the midline. One side was a skeleton, and the other side was a living person. The face of the dead was smiling, but the living were crying. It broke the realm of life and death and gave insight into the soul.
The essence, he is...
"...Since he has mastered the cycle of life and death, the judge who judges the dead is the most suitable one. Then, let him be called the 'Judge of Styx'."
There is no fuel-efficient lamp among the undead emperors. Zero can get inspiration and progress from Roland. As the winner, Roland gets more. It is only limited to the strength level and cannot be fully revealed, but some gains can be seen.
of.
At the same time that Roland made a breakthrough, the system's beep also sounded.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully repairing the soul seal and awakening the demigod-level racial talent 'Gaze of Hades' with a 30-point intelligence breakthrough! The system prompts: This talent is very dangerous, please use it with caution. The system prompts again: This talent has further evolved.
possible, please be careful when using it.] (To be continued)
