Brando has been thinking about this question for a long time: why after the era of saints, mortals can no longer cross the peak of the Plains and enter the realm of sages?
Perhaps it is because the sea of magic has gradually calmed down over the past thousands of years, or perhaps because of the changes in the laws, mortals can no longer embark on this road to godhood.
So.
What is a sage?
This is a ladder, which leads to the kingdom of the gods behind the gate of truth. Only by becoming a sage can one be qualified to pursue the power of existence.
In the previous life, players used the War Slate to skip this necessary step. Although they could perfect their bodies and possess the power of a demigod, the rules were incomplete after all. Everyone understood that this was a dead end.
, whoever steps on it can no longer touch the supreme throne.
The power of existence.
However.
What does the realm of sages have to do with existence? What does that incomplete step mean?
After the trip to the elemental realm, Brando had a vague idea in his mind.
He opened his property panel and could clearly see that in the element column, there was text like this:
This is one of the manifestations of time and space in this world.
However, they ℉,︽ are far from all.
Time and space are one of the basic attributes of this world, the basic order and measurement method of the existence and evolution of everything.
This is a power that is infinitely close to the power of existence. How can their power be so simple?
Brando couldn't help but recall that when his element was born, its performance was simpler. There were only two descriptions and abilities in that column:
‘stable, still’
Yes, elements can grow.
Perhaps one day, they will grow from a narrow definition into a perfect whole. From fragments of retrospection, stillness, flow, stability, coordinates and measurement, they will grow into two words that encompass all elements:
time and space.
From this, such an idea was born in his mind. It was like the process of the birth of a galaxy, as if a universe came and went in a breath.
Inspiration comes from a distant era.
In the legend described in the Epic of Blue, in an era before the gods fell asleep, the law called Tiamat was maintained by 17,000 gods, constituting this world called 'Warnd'.
In this world, different gods, under Martha, are in charge of different laws and orders.
Different laws and orders are intertwined with each other, forming all the mountains and rivers seen in the world, the sun, moon and stars, the changing of four seasons, the waking up of day and night, the flowing wind and clouds, the scorching fire and light, as well as the elements, life and civilization.
At the bottom of this web of laws, seven thousand lesser gods govern the Kingdom of God and the mortal world. The best among them, such as Kalidas, the god of pottery, govern the laws of pleasure and art. In addition, there are
The winter goddess of the north wind, cold winter and midnight.
The follower of Kalidas, the god of wisdom Ra, is also the sun god Perkin, who is in charge of the realm of wisdom and power; and the protector of the goddess of winter is Salamentus, the king of all ages, the lord of the wind.
, the master of the wind element and one of the four main elves.
Further up, the main god of the Wisdom God System is the Dragon Crystal of Wisdom. Logic and magic are its domain. And its old rival, the Blue Dragon of Disaster, is in charge of the world's misfortune, and its elements and destruction are its domain.
Kingdom, it is the main god of all elemental pantheons.
Among the seven major gods, there are Tiamat, the dragon of war, Alpheus, the dragon of fury, Darastaire, the storm dragon, Emerald, the eternal dragon, and Blazing, the dragon of life. The dragons control the seven major areas of the world, so they are
Known as the Dragon of the World.
Logic and magic, elements and destruction, energy and order, fate and entropy, time and space, eternity and death, creation and life, constitute everything in the world.
And above them.
It is the power of existence.
It's Martha's crown
In this pyramid-like stable structure, the domains and laws controlled by the gods are clearly visible from bottom to top, from low-level to high-level, and from trivial to complex.
From art and culture to wisdom, from wisdom to the field of thinking, and then from the ultimate wisdom of mortals to the logic and order of the entire world.
Since then, from the realm of Kalidas, the god of pottery, to the realm of crystal, the dragon of the world.
He remembered that night in Rosalin, in the warm light of the smuggler's camp fire, the occasional sparks from the charcoal fire, accompanied by a crackling sound, danced with the hot air and rose to the treetops.
The sparks and faint light represent elements and energy, one of the cornerstones of this world, and they respectively represent the god of the forge, Li Xiusi, the lord of the fire element, Mamensat, and the destroyer of all things in the world, the blue.
The Domain and Realm of Dragon Scourge.
then
A door opened in Brando's heart. Behind the door, there was another brand-new world. In that world, there seemed to be a thunderous voice that repeatedly echoed in Brando's heart:
Welcome to the land of existence!
Elements are the cornerstone of the law.
On the other hand, the power of elements controlled by mortals is a microcosm of the laws and domains controlled by the gods.
Perhaps, the two are originally one.
From the domain of Kalidas, the god of pottery, it can be traced back to the end of worldly wisdom, the kingdom of the Dragon Crystal of Wisdom; the sparks splashed from the anvil of Lysius, the god of the forge, will eventually fall back to
At the bottom of the river of roaring flames, we came to the realm of the blue dragon's disaster.
Then from the weak and one-sided elements that mortals grasp, there may also be a path to existence.
The way to embark on this path is to keep trying and constantly improving the power of your own elements, which will eventually open the door to the realm of sages.
But there is still one last key left.
Brando once wandered in front of this gate. From Rosalin and his party to the battlefield of Fenhotos, he kept trying, but failed again and again.
Until White Tiamas opened the authority of the War Dragon for him during the battle against the Crystal Cluster.
In that battle, he finally understood everything.
Are his elements of time and space unique?
Obviously, it doesn't.
A thousand years ago, the legendary strongman of the Min'er people, the tyrant of the elements, and the elemental emperor Tumen also had such legendary elements.
Before Charles changed his profession to a silver-robed mage, he also mastered many fragments of the element of time.
How many supreme fire elements are there in this world?
The genius of the Cruz people, the sage of mortals, Gilt of Fire may be the highest pinnacle of mortals in the element of fire, but after this legend, the Temple of Fire, the Knights of the Flame, and the upper-class nobles of the Cruz people, master
The highest level fire element is everywhere in people.
It is similar in Saint Osol and Faenzan; not to mention the famous soul elements of the undead in the land sheltered by the black rose of Bromando.
But in the realm of the gods, there is only one identical law.
That is to say.
In this world, there is only one god of pottery, Kalidas, only one god of the forge, Lixiost, only one god of wisdom, Ra, and only one master of the fire element, the elf king Mamensat.
Only one dragon can be called Crystal, and only one dragon can be called Scourge or Tiamat.
Therefore, there will be only seven world dragons in this world.
There will be only one existential power.
A supreme crown belonging to Martha.
So where is the gap between elements and laws? And where is the key to the kingdom of sages lost?
When Brando finally saw the only answer through the authority given to him by Bai, it was like a light in the darkness, or like a distant star, shining with the only light in a dark world.
Yes.
That is authority.
Just as the Silver Queen told him about the secret of the gods, the authority of the gods. The authority of the Council of Truth, the authority of the people of the gods, the authority of the planeswalkers.
Why can there still be faith on the earth after the gods have passed away? Why can the teachings left by the four sages still give strength to their believers?
Where did the holy magic of the four major temples come from?
Why is Owinroth called the dragon closest to the Dragon God? Why did the stars representing her already shine in the sky when she existed in the world?
Because the authority is already in their hands.
Sages are gods.
In the one thousand years after the War of the Saints, and even at the moment when the mortal era arrived, the path for mortals to the kingdom of gods was forever sealed.
On the earth, there are only those races that still retain supreme authority in their bloodline, such as managers, planeswalkers, members of the Council of Truth, the upper echelons of the Earth Legion, the Dragon of Darkness, warriors of the gods, gold
generation, such as the glorious scholars and the silver generation.
Only then can you have the opportunity to open that door and become a mortal saint.
Until the War of the Saints, the magic tide a thousand years ago, and the changes in the world order, four annoying sages came into being, ushering in a vigorous era.
That time, the era of the last golden people was overturned and the era of mortal civilization multiplied on the earth was ushered in.
It was not until a thousand years later that the Great Demonic Tide came again. This time, the laws of Tiamat were completely changed, sealing off the kingdom of sages for an entire era. After the gods passed away and the Parliament of Truth fell apart, it was finally opened to mortals.
The door.
And this time, what will it bring.
Brando doesn't know, and maybe no one will know.
He raised the Holy Sword Odysseus flatly and felt the power flowing through his body. It was completely different from the power of elements. It was connected with the world and intertwined with each other, as if everything was changing with every move.
You can feel the time passing by every second in this hall.
The structure of the hall, stone pillars, altar, and space are also clearly visible in his eyes. He only needs one thought to completely change it.
That's the rule.
Although it is not perfect yet, it is far beyond the ordinary.
