"You are just a speck of dust in the universe. You have a special meaning to the universe and the universe to you. I once crossed the long river of time and tried to..."
"Okay, everyone is so familiar with it, let's forget about this set of lines!" Black and White raised his head and looked at the constantly changing fantasy scenes around him. Sometimes it was the blue earth, sometimes it was a place similar to the quantum realm, and sometimes it was an alien scene.
The dimension and colorful scenery make everything look mysterious and dreamy, and in an instant the Supreme Mage's character is raised to the highest level.
However, as Black and White complained, all this changed quietly. When he reappeared, it was a spacious, bright and simple hall, with the sun god Ra in the middle of the hall with his arms spread out and a look of helplessness on his face!
"You have to understand that there are always a few lines arranged by the system."
Black and White stepped forward to hug him in a funny way, "You haven't changed after all this time, and you haven't even given yourself a hair transplant!" He pointed at the old man's shiny head.
The old man rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand and wiped it on the top of his head, "I don't think there is any hairstyle in the world that can be worthy of the position of Supreme Mage."
Black and White opened his mouth, with a look of sorrow on his face, "Old man, you have changed! You are becoming more and more stinky and shameless!"
"Sit down as you like, it's been a long time... No, for you players, the time should only be an instant." The old man said with a sigh on his face.
Black and White sat down, reached out and took the tea cup from the table, smelled it and said with a smile: "It's just like the original version of the movie, very refreshing."
The old man smiled and said, "I haven't seen the real-life movie, but this is tea grown by myself. At least in terms of being pure and natural, it is not fake."
Black and White nodded, and finally began to look at the old man seriously, "Are you considered a master-level master now? When did you realize this?"
The old man thought for a while and asked: "How much do you know about this game?"
Black and White blinked. It was really difficult to answer this question for a while. In fact, even he himself couldn't say how much he knew about this game. After thinking about it, he just said: "It depends on what aspect you mean by understanding."
?”
"Time! I heard Horus say that what you comprehend is the law of time. I was a little scared." The old man said and sighed: "I, an old antique who has lived for who knows how long, have not comprehended the law of time, but you have."
Well, I have to say, it’s really ironic!”
Black and White paused for a moment. He seemed to understand what the old man meant, and suddenly he became a little curious, "You mean, there is something wrong with the time in this game?"
The old man shook his head, "Of course it's okay if you don't have detachment. What did you players do in the historical mission? If a certain NPC survives to the modern line, it means that he has gone through countless years. But once you detach, you will find that, in fact,
This period of time is fictitious and is completely synchronized with the time of your players!"
Black and White frowned, but heard the old man continue: "But there is a problem here, that is, the understanding of the law in this long time cannot be explained in a moment."
Black and White scratched his chin and understood what he meant, "You are right, without the accumulation of time, no matter how talented you are, you will not be able to comprehend such a powerful law instantly! So, is it a systematic initiation?"
The old man said with a smile: "If it is the initiation of the system, then I will not have detachment, but will still be controlled by the system!"
Black and White was startled, and then fell into deep thought. He was right. If you want to become a transcendent person in the system, you must understand the power of the law on your own. Ronan and Lin Mei are like this. Well, Momo Yousi hides a lot.
Not to mention him, including the current sun gods Ra and Horus, if the timelines of NPCs and players are synchronized, then what are the past experiences they have experienced?
The two were silent for a long time. Black and white suddenly thought of something, and asked bitterly: "You can't say that the so-called transcendent is actually still within the system, no, it is within the plan of the saint!"
The old man tilted his head helplessly, "Sometimes the answer is so simple, but it is a bit hard to accept."
"Tell me about it."
The old man sighed, "If nothing else, just take the laws of time that you are familiar with. In fact, the more immortal people are, the easier it is for them to understand the laws of time, because they have the most contact with time."
"That's the theory!" Black and White nodded in agreement.
"But so far, all the transcendent people have not understood the law of time, which proves that the experiences we have experienced are false, and those times are only a moment."
"This argument is correct, but what about the power of the laws that you have understood on your own? And look at yourself, others can only understand a single law at most. Your laws of darkness and light seem to have reached the level of deep laws!
"Hei Bai pointed at the old man up and down, should he be called the Supreme Mage? He's so strong that he's a bit perverted!
The old man smiled and said, "With the dark godhead in your hand but in the light, plus the false and long years, you will naturally have a deep understanding of the laws of darkness and light."
"So? You found the reason?"
The old man nodded, and then said with some sadness, "I would also like to thank you for your supreme magical power that can even affect the space-time beacon of Galactus. It should be made of soul gems. I can feel the flavor of the soul from it!"
Black and White shook his head dumbfounded, "It tastes like a soul. Then describe it to me. What is it? Is it salty or sweet?"
"It's a taste that clears away the clouds and reveals the true self!" The old man closed his eyes slightly as if he was enjoying something.
Black and White choked, scratched his chin and asked uncertainly: "You mean, that is a kind of... the system instills the soul!"
The old man continued calmly: "That's it. You should already know that the NPCs in this game are actually the souls of the creatures that died in the battle for the saints in the past. It's just that these souls are very simple and have nothing special about them.
The past life has nothing to do with it. But don’t forget that this world follows the law of cause and effect. There is a cause and an effect. Maybe death can cut off the cause and effect, but the power of the law will not be annihilated because of the death of living beings. When you first understood the law
The understanding of the power will be preserved like a memory deep in the soul, and when you activate it again, it will be re-instilled into the current body. Of course, what can be instilled will only be the understanding of the power of the law. As for those experiences,
They are all illusions imposed by the system to match the timeline. In fact, transcendent people can tell this. But not all transcendent people can figure this out!"
Black and White suddenly said, "So, you were an overlord-level strongman at the beginning, but after you died, you left behind the understanding of the power of the law, and now after transcending, those understandings have returned, so you became the strength you are today in an instant.
, and then the system makes up fictitious experiences and instills them into you in order to match this understanding.”
The old man nodded, "That's it. For the same reason, some transcendents were god-king-level masters in the past, and some were god-level masters. Then at the moment of transcendence, they will become masters of whatever level, and the system will also make up fiction based on this understanding.
An experience. But unfortunately, those detached people have not felt the breath of the soul gem, so they do not know that this experience is also fictitious."
Black and White sighed with deep understanding. In fact, he had always been curious. What he gave Lin Mei at the beginning was clearly the law of ice. Why did Lin Mei understand the law of water after returning to the modern line? Although the two are somewhat related.
, but even if you draw parallels, it is impossible to understand the rules later than the ones you understand first.
Now I got the answer from the old man. Lin Mei must have been a god-level strongman who understood the laws of water in his previous life, so after transcending, he gained the understanding of the power of water laws in his previous life. Well, what should I say, Lin
There is indeed a reason why Mei’s skin is so hydrated!
"Hey, hey, what are you thinking about that the TV station won't let you broadcast?" The old man snapped his fingers a few times to bring Black and White back to his senses.
Black and white curled his lips and looked at the old man again, "So, you figured out the problem, and then what? What do you want to do?"
"Believe me, this is still very important to me. At least it makes me give up the idea of striving for sainthood."
Black and White blinked and smiled unexpectedly: "I must admit, this really scares me. Do you still want to fight for saints? Well, although judging from the rules set by the saints, it does not prohibit transcendent people from fighting for saints, but...
I always feel a bit unreliable, you don’t even have a real body, how can you still strive for sainthood?”
The old man looked at Black and White thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "From what you say, you must have had similar thoughts before? Have you been exposed to similar things?"
Black and white haha, "Yes, I often meet detached people, and an elder sister once told me that detached people can also strive for sainthood, but because that person's character was too bad, I never took it seriously. But generally detached people
Even if you know the truth of this game, you won’t think about fighting for saints. If you can directly think of this level, I think you, an old man, was a saint-fighting person in your previous life, right?"
The old man shrugged, "I also have doubts about this matter. After all, I am now an overlord-level powerhouse. It would be reasonable for me to have coveted the throne in my previous life. But since I am dead, it means that I have failed in my quest for sainthood."
Black and White also gave a very meaningful look back, "Knowing this, you give up on the fight for sainthood?"
The old man shook his head, "I am already a master of the overlord level. If I want to take another step forward, there seems to be no other possibility besides fighting for sainthood, but this time it is not possible. First of all, I don't have a complete body in reality.
Secondly, the game has been going on for such a long time and the opportunity has been lost long ago. It would be unrealistic to catch up from behind."
"In this case, why are you so anxious to hand over the responsibility of the Supreme Mage? Isn't it better to stay on Earth? Maybe you can also accumulate some experience for your next Saint Contest!" Black and White cheated with a smile.
The old man rolled his eyes and said, "I've never heard of the accumulation of experience in striving for sainthood, and I haven't heard anyone say that any saint contender has become a saint because of his rich experience. As for me being anxious to hand over the responsibility, actually
It’s also very simple, because I want to make arrangements in advance to fight for the next time!”
Black and White was startled, "Next time, this Saint Contest is not a cycle of seven days and one week. It is estimated that the saints don't know when the next Saint Contest will be, but you are starting to arrange it now?"
The old man looked at him with a smile, "You are right about one thing, experienced people are better than inexperienced people. This game is considered a saint's mercy. Losers will not perish in reality. In this case, this is what it means to me.
This is the best time to observe the various contenders for the Saint. Before the next battle for the Saint begins, these people will be my targets."
Black and white cover their faces, others regard this game as an opportunity to strive for sainthood, but this old man is even more ruthless, treating it as a creation camp, and the draft is here!
But what the old man said is not wrong, because Black and White knows that there are many saint contenders who would not be qualified or even dare to participate in the saint contest in reality, but in this game they dare to fight because they will not die.
"Okay, okay, then I'll wish you success in your next holy battle in advance. Let's get down to business first!" Black and White toasted the old man with tea instead of wine.
The old man took a sip of the tea in his hand and stood up slowly, "Follow me. In my memory, Kamal Taj has a lot of money!"
Black and White As the old man began to browse Kama Taj, there were courtyards after going out from the hall. These courtyards have different styles, but they are all very simple. However, the antiques and architectural styles stored in them represent symbols of various periods.
.
"I pulled the entire Kama Taj into a space crack. Here are the magic items I have picked up over the years, including sacred artifacts from various religions and special items from various dimensions. Waiting for you to become the Supreme Mage.
After that, these things will all be yours." The old man pointed around casually.
Black and White looked at it and said amusedly: "What you have here is a bit like the World Expo, but it's a mythical version."
The old man curled his lips and said, "It's okay if you don't have to describe it this way." As he said that, he opened the door of a room. From the outside, the building didn't look big, but after opening the door, it turned out to be a bit weird.
"Well, it's a bit similar to the Traceless Stretching Spell, but it's more subtle." Black and White looked around and saw at a glance that this was an exquisite use of the laws of space.
You must know that the Traceless Stretching Curse, as a superficial application of the Space Law, is the best basis for understanding the power of the Space Law. However, this ability does not mean that the larger the stretched space, the better. The larger the space, the bigger the space.
The magic power is strong. That's not subtle.
But if living people can move freely in this space, and the time in the space is synchronized with the outside, and anyone can open and close the door at will, then this control over the laws of space will be amazing.
"Did you see the tall guy in front? That's the library administrator. Well, this guy is usually very practical in his work, but he's just not very talented. I heard players say that he will be torn apart in the future." The old man said and pointed to a person.
A middle-aged man is arranging books with his head down.
"Well, if you are referring to Casillas, then it should be him... If I take over as the Supreme Mage, will I be the one to perform the subsequent tasks? For example, if I shave my head and change my name to Ancient One
." Black and White looked weird.
Before the old man could answer, the librarian spotted them, walked over a few steps and bowed: "Supreme Mage, you are here, is this your successor? I didn't expect you to be so young."
The old man instantly regained his dignity and respect, "No, you shouldn't be fooled by appearances. He once fought alongside me in ancient times and was a powerful mage."
The middle-aged man was confused for a moment, looked at Black and White and bowed again, "Forgive me for my blindness, my respected successor to the mage."
"You go out first and calm down." The old man waved his hand to let him go.
Black and White saw him walking out of the door and smiled and said: "Are all the mages under you at this level? They don't seem to be very good. Even if there are ten thousand mages at this level, they won't be able to have much effect."
The old man shrugged helplessly, "Their potential cannot be compared with the players." He walked inside and explained as he walked: "All the magic books I can find are stored here. I kept the originals while also
I have combined them into several collections, and I believe they can give you a lot of reference.”
Black and White took out a book and flipped through a few pages. Not to mention a lot of convoluted spell names, there were spell systems from different civilizations from low to high.
For the first time, Black and White became more serious. Each of these books can be said to be a complete system, enough to transform any talented player from a rookie to a master. Metaphorically speaking, with this book, Harry
Potter can go from a first-year primary school student to a headmaster of Dumbledore's level!
"These spell systems are very powerful, but it's a little difficult to learn and master them. Moreover, any power has both pros and cons. The more powerful the ability, the greater the temptation or side effects. So I just put the safest among them but the weakest.
Leave the weak spells to the disciples." The old man looked around and said.
Black and white nodded understandingly. He came from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Voldemort was an example. Although the secret techniques practiced by the disciples outside were not as practical as those taught at Hogwarts, they were not weak in power. It's just that they
They are mages, why not call them magic warriors.
The old man took out two more books from behind his back, "This book records some forbidden spells, all from the magic school you graduated from. You can study them if you are willing, but they are just the use of the power of laws.
This book is written by me. I compiled this book based on my understanding of the Time Stone. Unfortunately, I don’t seem to have any talent for the Law of Time, but it should be a good guide for you. In addition,
If you have confidence in yourself, you can also directly use the time stone to understand it."
Black and White put the book in his hand back on the bookshelf. It can be imagined that there will be a lot of knowledge to remember in the future.
"Where did you get the time stone?" Black and White asked what he was most interested in.
The old man was a little dumbfounded, "Infinite gems are obviously controlled by the system. They are based on the player's actions. When the player's actions affect certain NPCs, the system will remove certain items from the infinite gems."
Put one within reach of the npc. As for the time stone... this thing stung my feet when I was wandering at the beach."
Black and white, the system is so perfunctory!
Full of complaints, Black and White followed the Supreme Mage inside, passing through countless books and entering a secret room. In the center of the secret room was a green gem, which was the Time Stone, but it was not as story-telling as in the movie.
What is the Eye of Agamotto doing mysteriously?
When Black and White came to the side of the Time Stone, the Soul Stone in his body began to hum and tremble spontaneously. It was not until Black and White frowned that he stopped the trembling.
The old man didn't notice anything unusual about black and white, and pointed to the three gates around him, "These are the three gates leading to the temple. You can call them the Holy of Holies or the Magic Node, etc."
Black and White turned around and said curiously: "Did you arrange these three large formations based on Zeus's formation back then? What's the purpose? Is it really to fight against demons from other dimensions? For example, Dormammu or something."
"Dormammu is just a bad thing, don't worry about it. It is one step away from the deep law of darkness, but with such strength, it dares to call itself the Dark Lord, which is purely seeking death. It is just a large walking experience left for you players.
."
The old man became serious again as he spoke, "The reason why I set up these three formations is not to fight against gods and demons, but to defend against the interference of the power of laws on the earth. As for the enemies of gods and demons, we still have to rely on
Let’s fight it ourselves.”
"I don't understand a bit, please explain in detail." Black and White leaned on the high platform where the time gem was placed, and asked with interest.
As the old man waved his hand, a panoramic view of the Earth appeared in the air, and then zoomed out until the Kree fleet appeared in a broken star belt outside the solar system. "The conventional combat effectiveness that Earth's technology can produce is actually not much worse than alien technology.
Even if there is a gap, it can probably guarantee a battle loss ratio of one to one hundred."
Black and white hehehe, "This is so damn high, okay?"
The old man waved his hand again, but a large fleet of various types appeared. Looking at the direction, it was obvious that they were gathering towards the solar system!
"Earth's technology lags far behind in terms of high-end combat capabilities. When alien technology touches the level of laws, it can abolish the basic laws of physics that Earth's technology relies on. By then, humans will be unable to fight back.
force."
He narrowed his black and white eyes slightly and looked at the images to identify what race they were. However, although he had mastered nearly full-level medical skills, he could not determine the race of the enemy from the style of the battleship. But as for what the old man said,
He admitted that he knew this before.
"The formation I established can effectively protect the power of laws within the scope of the earth. If the enemy wants to change the basic laws of physics within this range, the formation will be defended. This can be regarded as a star-destroying weapon for the enemy.
Ineffective means!"
The old man's words made Black and White smash his palms and suddenly said: "No wonder I have gained so much merit. It turns out that part of it is due to this formation, which protects the earth from being killed before the protective power matures!"
The old man smiled and said: "It can be understood that the responsibility of the Supreme Mage is to protect these three formations and protect the earth. The Time Stone can be regarded as just a reward."
Black and White frowned at the old man and said uncertainly: "Isn't it difficult to guard these three temples?"
"It's really difficult to defend." The old man shrugged, "Just like the monster invasion mission that you players have experienced, every once in a while, a certain temple will face a wave of attacks. As for the attack, it is not fixed."
Black and White was upset, "Then I don't want to be annoyed to death!"
"So my suggestion is to first find someone reliable to be the guardian of the temple. The current guardian of the New York Temple is my grandson Horus, but I will take him with me after I retire. You need to find someone
Successor. In addition, the guardians of the London Temple are a family, relying entirely on helmet inheritance. They call themselves Dr. Fate. That is a task that players can compete for. As the Supreme Mage, he has the right to designate a player as a candidate to compete. As for
The temple in Hong Kong is now guarded by the Hong Kong garrison of flower growers, so it is very stable!"
Black and White nodded in agreement, "It seems that being the Supreme Mage is not easy, but I have to say it first. You don't have to give me this position. I can't give you any guarantee or reward. The next battle for Saint
It doesn’t matter whether I’m alive or not during the war!”
Sun God Ra raised his eyebrows, touched his bald head, and said with a smile like Lu Zhishen's: "Brother, I believe in you!"
