Seven days have passed, and the dark clouds covering the sky of the entire Demon Realm have never dissipated.
I don't know if it is a psychological effect, but everyone feels the depression that is difficult to dispel.
Chen Rui's hunch was correct. Since that day, Shuangyue has not appeared again. For the Demon Realm, Shuangyue is equivalent to the sun and the moon. Without the double moon, it is equivalent to losing day and night. No matter what time of day, the sky is dark.
This kind of influence is not only on the living habits, but also brings about all kinds of terrible consequences. The fact that the food stops growing is a fatal blow.
In the past few days, Chen Rui and others have tried various methods, such as Lola's magic, Chen Rui's attack, Xinghuang's shelling...
However, even if the cloud can be temporarily broken, it will soon return to its original state, and it will never be completely dispelled, as if the haze that filled the sky is an inseparable part of this world, unless the entire world is destroyed.
This abnormality is by no means accidental, and it is probably related to the abyss that occupies the ground world. Although the gate of the two worlds is closed, and the abyssal creatures including Quiliana cannot break the space blockade and come to the demon world, everyone still underestimates the abyss means of domination.
As a divine will of darkness, possessing vast wisdom and innumerable mystic techniques, it must want to use this method to completely wipe out the entire demon world.
This form of "destruction" is more thorough and terrifying than the previous army invasion.
Although the gate of the two worlds will reopen in just over a hundred years, it seems that Quiliana does not intend to give Chen Rui and the Demon Realm a chance to breathe.
This can be regarded as a recognition of Chen Rui's potential from another angle. However, for Chen Rui and the entire demon world, the shadow of death that has just faded surged again, swallowing up hope.
Chen Rui did not give up because of this, and immediately called alchemists, masters, and researchers of elf magic civilization of all races to hold an urgent seminar in the imperial capital.
"Artificial moon?" When Chen Rui on the podium proposed this idea, almost everyone was shocked.
"Agulie... no, Mr. Chen Rui, please forgive me." Anderson, the president of the Shadow Empire's Artisan Alliance, was the first to stand up, "Even if you are the most powerful alchemist in the world, I have to say In a word, this is an impossible idea, we can create the most exquisite props or equipment, but we cannot create the sun, moon and stars. Only the gods can do this.”
As soon as this sentence came out, almost everyone present agreed.
Chen Rui looked at Anderson, then at the people in the venue, and smiled slightly: "Master Anderson... no, you should have entered the realm of quasi-grandmaster now, first of all, I would like to congratulate you, but let me just say, if Based on your current cognition or state, if you want to be promoted to a grandmaster, the possibility is almost zero."
As the world's number one master craftsman, although Chen Rui is fully qualified to say this, his tone is still too strong, especially in front of so many elites in the alchemy world. However, Anderson was not angry. It was not the first time he had dealt with Chen Rui, and he knew that the other party was not arrogant. Instead, he showed surprise and bowed: "Please advise."
"For example, before the first legendary-level equipment was born, did our cognition stay at the excellence level? At that time, would we know that there are legend-level or even god-level equipment above the excellence level? If even Have you ever thought about it, how did legendary equipment appear in this world?"
Chen Rui's question made Anderson shake his head, and a few people, such as Tetniss, Fenoa, and Qi Kui, had already shown thoughtful expressions.
"I once said a word at the last exchange meeting in the devil world. Once the thinking is fixed by a certain framework, it is tantamount to killing the real imagination. Since we made the first piece of equipment, our lives have been Integrating into the world of 'creation'. Regardless of whether the sun, moon, and stars were created by gods or not, the essence of creation remains unchanged." Chen Rui said, a faint light appeared beside him, slowly evolving into some forms , There are new things such as magic lamps, TVs, mobile phones, magic airships, magic guns, and fighting balls for nearly ten thousand years.
Not only that, but there were also many things that no one present had seen before, and the alchemists suddenly whispered.
"What is that four-wheeled thing running so fast down the road?"
"That kind of high-rise building with hundreds of floors, is it possible?"
"And that huge thing flying in the starry sky, is it a ship?"
"..."
"Those things just now may appear in our world in the future, or they may not, but other newer things... because the pace of creation is endless," Chen Rui turned into a bright cosmic starry sky behind him, "To achieve this, we must have the courage to break the original inertia of thinking and the shackles that imprison imagination. Creation is infinite possibility. If we lose 'possibility', our world and our power will stagnate... We must first 'think' before we can 'beyond'."
When talking about "beyond", a ray of light suddenly flashed in Chen Rui's mind, and everyone present felt that the "illusion" of the cosmic starry sky was suddenly full of vitality, as if it really existed.
At this moment, many people seemed to be touched by some kind of mysterious atmosphere, and inspirations rushed out of their minds.
Chen Rui came back to his senses, thinking that when he touched the strange light in his heart again, he couldn't do it. He paused for a while, and then said: "Simply put, there is nothing impossible but unexpected. Your Excellency Anderson, I hope that you, me, and everyone can create new possibilities."
Anderson felt as if he had seen a new door. As long as he touched this door, he could truly break through the shackles and reach a new height. He was overjoyed, and saluted Chen Rui respectfully with the etiquette of a student, and sat down. down.
It was not only Anderson who felt this way, but also many alchemy elites with extraordinary potential. After breaking some kind of thinking confinement, many ideas came out in a short time. Some people began to boldly take the stage and explain their ideas.
"For the material issue, I think it needs a carrier of fire and light power, which can imitate the principle of the magic lamp in our human world, with tungsten crystal as the main body." Now on stage is the master of human instrument making, Faracheni, who is as famous as Qikui , this idea has been endorsed by many people.
But soon someone raised an objection: "The light range of the heat generated is too small, and the energy consumption is too huge. If you want to cover the residential areas of the Demon Realm, you must have tens of thousands of them."
"In terms of heat and light, you can use the magic pattern circuit to increase the amplification. This kind of circuit can also greatly reduce the energy consumption." Faracheni drew complex magic pattern on the question board, which is his best field. Some original circuits are the painstaking efforts of many years of research, and at this critical moment of life and death, there is no need to keep secrets.
Many magic pattern research masters present couldn't help being amazed when they saw these circuit diagrams.
"Your Excellency Faracheni's magic patterns are amazing, but the demon world is no better than the ground world. Too much heat and light will be counterproductive, and the material must be changed. Moreover, the cost of manufacturing is still high, even if you use your circuit. For transformation, only considering the degree of population density, at least thousands of moons will be launched at the same time." Tetnis's suggestion made Faracheni himself fall into contemplation.
"Actually, you can only use one..." A timid voice sounded.
For a while, there was no sound in the field, and all eyes were focused on the pretty girl with glasses. This girl was Belluan, the daughter of Turia, the president of the Blood Fiend Empire Artisan Alliance. Mother is also a master maker present at this conference, Marvina.
"You just said, only one?" Faracheni did not put on airs of a master, but asked seriously.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Belluan blushed, but still nodded.
"Please come to the stage." The alchemy world pays attention to those who are masters first, so Chen Rui used the word "please" to Belluan without hesitation.
Bei Luan looked at Chen Rui, and with courage, she walked onto the stage under the encouraging eyes of her parents and Fenoa not far away.
"My idea is to create a light source, and then use many reflection points to spread throughout the demon world. In this way, the cost will be greatly reduced, and the durability will also..."
Chen Rui's eyes lit up, and he secretly exclaimed, showing approval.
"Mirror?" Faracheni in the audience had already reacted, showing ecstasy: "It's wonderful!"
Everyone also understood that Belluan's idea is really ingenious. You only need to create a light and heat source, and then suspend objects made of reflective materials in the air, and you can realize the lighting effect on a large scale. The change of day and night can even produce hot light and cold light to adapt to more crops.
"Also, Mr. Faracheni's magic pattern circuit just now... In the third and fifth pictures, I think the circuit part can be improved in this way, and the increase may be better. If there is something wrong, please ask Faracheni Forgive me, my lord." Belouan boldly drew two small sketches next to the magic pattern circuit diagram drawn by Faracheni.
Faracheni stared closely at the two sketches, and suddenly yelled, which startled Bellouin.
"Genius!" Faracheni clenched his fists excitedly, "You are the most outstanding genius in the magic pattern field I have ever seen! Are you interested in being my disciple? I will teach you everything! By the way , who was your original teacher? Even if it is a duel, I will... "
Faracheni's excitement and enthusiasm made Belluan stunned for a moment, and the elf master Fenoa's lazy voice sounded from the audience: "Wait a minute, Faracheni, are you sure you want to fight me?"
"Lord Fenoa, it turns out..." Faracheni was dumbfounded. Fenoa was an elf master, and he taught him alchemy back then. Disciple of the elf master!
Fenoa smiled and said: "Although Belluan is my student, I am not very competent as a teacher, and her attainments in magic patterns... I don't have much to teach her. If you insist on a duel If not, I’d better admit defeat and be one of several peers robbing jobs.”
Falacheni had already understood what Fenoia meant, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Belluan, under Fenoia's gesture, performed the teacher's etiquette to Fraceni, and all the alchemists present applauded.
Belluan's idea solved the most difficult core problem of the artificial moon. Then came the main heat source and the material of the mirror image. There was a heated discussion at the venue again. For a while, a hundred schools of thought contended, and all kinds of whimsical ideas appeared.
Looking at this scene, Chen Rui showed a knowing smile. The three cobblers outmatched Zhuge Liang. As expected, brainstorming is the best way to solve the problem. effect.
Suddenly, he felt a certain kind of attention, and turned his head to see that it was Belluan, the most dazzling hero of this seminar.
She still looked like the girl next door back then, her eyes revealed tranquility, seeing Chen Rui aware of her gaze, Bei Luan's face turned red again, but she didn't turn her eyes away, still looking at him boldly .
Chen Rui clearly felt the tenderness of emotion in that gaze, just like back then, and couldn't help but be surprised. He suddenly understood that she must have known the truth back then!
Back then, Chen Rui went to the Blood Fiend Empire in order to find Secred Mountain and the Land of Woyuan. The secret, also in the name of the disciple of Feng Saka, exposed the true face of Nate, the number one tool maker at that time, and finally succeeded in feigning death to escape, and the distance from Belluan was getting farther and farther.
Now, Belluan actually found out that the dead "Li Cha" was him, so those who revealed the truth could only be the few insiders...
Not far away, Master Feng Saka, who saw this scene, turned his head guiltily, pretending not to see Chen Rui.
Bei Luan didn't come over to reprimand Chen Rui or call him another "name", but only showed a gentle smile from afar.
Then, slowly, turned away.
She still remembered the words he said before he left, we... are not from the same world.
She now knows that it was "Agulie" who was afraid of hurting her and her parents, and later went to the Craftsman League to save her father, and he was also him.
However, he never knew that as a member of the Blood Fiend Empire, she also participated in the previous battle of the Star Fortress. She was a mechanic and was responsible for the maintenance of the magic crystal cannon and ordnance of the fortress. Feng Saka was also present.
Just when a bone spur pierced through her chest and she was about to be unable to hold on, in order to motivate her, Feng Saka told the truth of the year, and the obsession in her heart made her finally struggle from the death line and come back to life.
The great master of instrument making, the husband of the three empresses, the strongest in the devil world, the human prince...
Sure enough, people from two worlds.
However, all you need to do is smile at him from a distance, and the world is in your heart.
