The younger brother Edward was also shocked and asked the other party to accept him as a disciple.
The master didn't want to agree at first, but after hearing that the two brothers had no parents to take care of them, he softened his heart and agreed.
Then, the master threw them into a forested island, gave them only a knife, and asked them to survive in a situation where alchemy was forbidden.
Finally, she told the two brothers one sentence: all is one, one is all.
As long as they can comprehend the meaning of this sentence within a month, she will accept the two brothers as her disciples.
Young Edward and Alphonse could not understand all this, but in order to learn alchemy, they had to agree to the other party's conditions.
After that, they began brutal training, fell into a state of hunger in the forest, and started their own survival by gritting their teeth.
…
When the audience saw the plot on TV, they were extremely surprised for a moment.
Whether it was the existence of the master itself or the trials in the two brothers' memories, the audience was completely confused for a while.
"What do you mean? Why would they be thrown on a deserted island to learn alchemy? What is the connection between wilderness survival and learning alchemy?"
"I don't know, what does this master mean, Brother Edward?"
"It must be some kind of magical test, otherwise the two brothers would not have become such excellent alchemists so quickly."
"All is one, and one is all. I'd rather know what this means."
"Yeah, why let two children survive in such a dangerous environment and learn such a confusing sentence?"
"Anyway, keep reading. There should be an explanation later."
"… "
The audience all spoke like this at once, and they were obviously extremely curious about the subsequent plot.
…
The plot of "Fullmetal Alchemist" continues to develop.
Edward and his brother survived on the deserted island, and gradually learned survival skills and caught a hare.
However, seeing the pitiful appearance of the rabbit, the two brothers were unable to bring themselves to eat it, and finally the prey was snatched away by a passing fox.
They wanted to take revenge on the fox, but they saw the fox bring the prey back to the cave and divide it among its three cubs.
For this reason, the two brothers suddenly lost their desire for revenge.
Afterwards, they wanted to catch fish in the river, but they couldn't because they had no tools.
Helpless, the Edward brothers could only return to the camp in frustration.
The two of them spent six days like this without eating anything.
Being extremely hungry, young Edward even had hallucinations and took a big bite of his younger brother Alphonse, mistaking him for a delicious steak.
In desperation, Edward saw the ant in front of him and couldn't help but take a bite.
Under the extreme sour taste, Edward suddenly thought of everything in the world. Everything was like this ant, swallowed into his stomach. There was no good or evil in everything.
Thinking of this, he immediately made up his mind, and together with Alphonse, he caught another rabbit. They used the method of drilling wood to make fire, and successfully made barbecue to fill their stomachs.
Time passed little by little, and a month went by quickly.
On the last night, the two brothers had their fill, lay on the ground, looked at the bright moonlight, and began to think about the concept of 'all is one, one is all'.
While his brother Alphonse was still confused, Edward spoke first:
"When I was about to starve to death that day, I ate ants and survived. At that time, I thought, if I didn't eat them and just starved to death, I would be eaten by other animals, such as rabbits and foxes, and return to the earth. This is the food chain, right?"
"Not only that, this island may have sunk to the bottom of the sea a long time ago, and it may become a mountain tens of thousands of years later. This shows that everything in the world is connected, and everything is in an invisible torrent. We may call it the world, or we may call it the universe."
"In this turbulent cycle, Al and I are as small as ants, just a drop of water in the torrent, just one of the whole. However, only when the tiny ones gather together can they form the whole. This is how the world is formed."
Alphonse seemed to understand what Edward said.
Time passed like this, and the two came to the last day of the assessment.
The master and her husband came to the island and asked the two brothers for the answer.
To this, the two brothers replied:
“All is the world, and One is me.”
Hearing the two brothers' answers, the master couldn't help laughing and nodded:
"Very good, then let's start the formal training!"
There is no doubt that this means they passed the assessment!
When the audience saw the plot on TV, they were extremely surprised for a moment and fell into deep thought.
Chapter 621: Those who violate the taboo should be punished!
Chapter 621
"All is the world, and One is ourselves. Is this the answer of the two brothers?"
"All is one, and one is all. Is that what it means?"
“I still find it very obscure.”
"After all, this is knowledge related to alchemy, so it's natural that it's a little difficult to understand."
"Edward's natural understanding is still very high."
"… "
In TV bars across the empire, viewers were talking about the plot of the TV show "Fullmetal Alchemist" at once.
Many people are very confused about what Edward said in the story, and most ordinary people cannot understand the meaning behind it.
However, among the crowd, some people were different and expressed their own understanding and opinions on the story.
"It's actually quite easy to understand. According to the thinking of the Edward brothers in Fullmetal Alchemist, the essence of this problem is the relationship between the whole and the individual. The individual cannot exist without the whole, and the whole also needs many individuals to be maintained. Alchemy is essentially a kind of thing that transforms the whole and the individual."
"You sound like you understand it very well. Are you a magician, or have you learned about magic from somewhere?"
"I am not talented. I went to the Imperial Comprehensive College a few days ago. The courses there include magic alchemy."
"What? Ordinary people can also learn magical alchemy?"
"Director Du Lin, who promoted magic alchemy, hoped that ordinary people could also get in touch with this technology and magic, so he included magic alchemy courses in the Imperial Comprehensive Academy from the beginning, although most of the teachers themselves had a shallow understanding of magic alchemy and could only read from the textbook."
"This is incredible. It makes me want to go to Imperial College to try."
"As long as you meet the age requirement, you can participate. After all, if King Hubbard strongly advocates universal learning, as long as you are willing to join the Imperial Comprehensive College, you can enter unconditionally. If you perform well in the college, you can also receive a considerable bonus."
"It's over. I'm a little moved."
"… "
All of a sudden, all kinds of voices rang out in the TV bar. In a sense, the TV show filmed by Du Lin was also a free advertisement for the Imperial Comprehensive College, which has now grown to a certain scale.
It is conceivable that during this year's Imperial College admission season, the number of ordinary people willing to join the college will increase significantly.
Of course, people are more concerned about the TV itself at the moment, so after a brief exchange, they quickly turned their attention back to the TV screen of "Fullmetal Alchemist".
…
"The foundation of the Alchemy Formation is the power of the circle. The circle can represent the cycle of power. Drawing a construction pattern on it can activate the power."
In the picture, the two young brothers Edward begin to receive training from their master.
The master was reciting theories from books on alchemy while fighting against the two of them.
Even in this situation, the opponent still easily knocked down the two children who were trying their best and defeated them easily.
“This is also the cycle of power. You can only understand it after you actually experience it.”
Alphonse suddenly became curious about his master's words and asked:
"But Master, you don't need to use the construction method to use alchemy, right?"
Facing the confused looks of Alphonse and Edward, the master said silently:
"Because I am already a construct-like existence."
“Hey, can this really be done?”
Hearing Al's question, the master was silent for a moment, and finally said:
"You will be able to do this once you have come into contact with the truth."
Just like that, the scene switched to the adult Edward brothers.
Edward recalled the past and suddenly realized that his master was probably the same as them. He might have come into contact with human body transformation and saw the truth in the past.
To this end, he and Alphonse immediately found the master and asked him questions.
However, before Edward could ask, the master suddenly clapped his hands, used alchemy to create a weapon, and attacked him.
In the confusion, Edward was forced to use array-less alchemy to create a blade to block the opponent's attack, which also meant showing the fact that he had come into contact with the truth.
However, the master had obviously realized this a long time ago. In fact, she judged the general condition of the two brothers as soon as they met.
At the same time, the master told the two brothers that she had indeed tried human transmutation in the past and had seen the truth in that white space.
The reason for this was that she had always wanted a child, but had never been able to get her wish. She finally became pregnant, but because of a sudden illness, she was unable to give birth.
In desperation, the master couldn't help but try human transmutation, but the end result was naturally not very good.
As the price of exchanging truth for human transmutation, she lost her uterus and could no longer give birth to her own children.
Knowing all this, the Edward brothers were very surprised.
The master looked at their current appearance and slowly hugged them.
Feeling the care and warmth from the master, they could not bear it any longer and apologized to the master.
At the same time, the scene switched back to the perspective of the two young brothers.
Stranded on a deserted island, they looked at the starry sky and discussed the nature of alchemy.
"The operation of this world follows unimaginably vast laws. Learning these laws, analyzing them, and reconstructing them is alchemy, and it is also life itself. The foundation of alchemy, decomposition and reconstruction, is actually very close to the food chain."
"Eating a rabbit means breaking down its flesh and blood and rebuilding its own body. The rabbit also rebuilds the grass it eats. The so-called alchemy is actually life itself."
At this point, this episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist" officially ends.
…
After watching this episode of TV, the audience fell silent for a moment.
The heaviness and depth of this episode's plot exceeded the audience's imagination, leaving all the audience speechless for a moment.
"I didn't expect that the protagonist's master also practiced human body refining. No wonder she was able to practice without formation before."
"Master wanted to revive his child, but ended up having his uterus taken away by the human body. I always feel like there seems to be some cause and effect between them."
"It is definitely taboo to cultivate the human body."
"… "
After a long time, many viewers gradually uttered such words, apparently they were shocked by the wonderful plot of "Fullmetal Alchemist".
Chapter 622 The truth about the planet!
Chapter 622
Imperial School of Magic.
After watching this episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist", the magicians had a huge response. Everyone was attracted by this profound story and started discussing it during the commercial breaks.
"Alchemy is life. Studying the world is studying the essence of life... It always makes sense."
"When the protagonists learn alchemy, they are actually learning the laws of the world. By breaking down and understanding the existing laws, they can do things that ordinary people cannot do."
"To be honest, I still can't quite wrap my head around the concept of all being one and one being all."
"To put it simply, this is a worldview that believes that the entire world is one, and there is no difference between oneself and everything else."
"In fact, we can think about it a little deeper, and connect the concept of all is one and one is all with the essential equivalent exchange of alchemy. In other words, the laws of the world are fixed. Whether it is the large universe or the small individual, they all have the same constant laws."
"Is it that profound?"
