"Do you believe in gravity?"
"Are you asking about the gravity of the prophecy faction, the destiny faction, the truth faction, or the space faction?"
"The purest and most powerful is physical gravity." The dramatic poet glanced at the brilliant starry sea of the seventh level of the Void Realm: "From the movement of the sun, moon and stars to the falling of a drop of water, everything is closely related to gravity. Gravity is the most fundamental physical law in this world, and everything in the world is built on gravity."
"After this, there is the attraction between people, "destiny", the attraction between people and time, "prophecy", the attraction between knowledge and knowledge, "truth"... Almost all magic can be explained by gravity."
"It sounds a bit similar to my friend's worldview of the dead." Ash said, "He believes that everything in the world can be explained by eating corpses. Even the virtual world is made up of piles of corpses... Are you planning to create a gravity faction?"
"The physical gravity is actually explained to a certain extent in earth and wind arts. From the earliest "Shinra Lord" to the modern "Black Star Ring Lord", magicians have explored the limits of physical gravity." The drama poet smiled and said, "You have been exploring the metaphysical gravity. The one who has gone the furthest should be "Glass Time Lord". She has studied the gravity of time to a degree that has never been seen before and will never be seen again. It is still difficult for the second round of gods to reproduce the masterpiece."
"I don't like to lay the groundwork before getting down to business." Fanxing said calmly, "Just get to the point."
"I don't look down on your ability to think critically, Fanxing, nor do I mean to waste your time on purpose." The dramatic poet said, "But please understand that not everyone has your conditions. Some people need more detailed explanations to understand, just like disabled people need to pay a greater price to live a normal life. I hope Fanxing can give you a little more patience."
Fanxing was silent for a moment: "Okay."
After hearing this, Ash couldn't help but look around, trying to find where the 'some people' were from the seventh level of the Void Realm.
"What I want to talk about is the attraction of civilization." The dramatic poet said: "Do you still remember how to condense silver magic power? Enter the virtual world, explore the sea of knowledge, use your soul to attract knowledge, extract magic power from knowledge, and finally condense the magic power into virtual wings..."
"Have you ever thought that this is incredible? You need to eat, digest, and grow to grow up. You need to understand, exercise, and practice to learn knowledge. You need to pay for most things before you can gain anything. But when it comes to obtaining the most powerful power in the world, you can get it without any effort, without paying any price. The obstacles that the virtual world imposes on you are not called prices, but tuition fees."
Ash thought to himself that it was true. He had thought about this vaguely before, but he believed that this was a significant advantage of the magician system.
Without bloodline, without qualifications, from elves to Lalafei, as long as your skills reach the silver realm and complete the resonance of the virtual realm, you can enter the virtual realm and stand on the same starting line as all the magicians from ancient times to the present. The only criterion for judgment is intellect. Apart from this, no capital can interfere with the magician's journey.
But if all unnecessary factors are excluded, the process of obtaining magic power is actually so simple that it is almost effortless:
Walking in the virtual world, it’s gone.
Even a set of meditation methods, a workbook, and a formula are required. As long as you walk in the virtual world, you will continuously gather magic power. You can't even refuse it. This is a mandatory process. Although Ash is very satisfied with this virtual world-feeding cultivation method, if he needs to meditate or circulate the meridians, he might have given up long ago. But sometimes he also wonders whether it is the magician who is attracting magic power, or...
Magical power is chasing the magician
"The eighth one died long ago."
The dramatic poet said: "It is because of its death that life began to appear in the world. It is the source of all life and the ancestor of all magicians. The reason why magicians can resonate with the virtual world and get involved in the power of creating life is because magicians are the masters of the virtual world."
"So you understand why magicians can easily steal magic power, right?" The dramatic poet looked at Ash. "Because it's yours in the first place. There's no need for the master to pay anything to get his own things back. You can take as much as you want, as long as your virtual wings can hold it."
"Why are you only asking me if I understand?" Ash was speechless. "And aren't magicians said to be thieves in the Void Realm? How come they are also the masters of the Void Realm?"
"Thieves are specifically magicians above the level of demigods." The dramatic poet said, "For example, the general political tone of the six countries now is that the people are the masters of the country. Of course, the people do not need to spend money to enjoy the welfare of the country, but if some individuals occupy public resources, monopolize government power, and even form a country within a country, then are these people still the masters?"
"All magicians who have entered the realm of God, including you, are 'individuals'. The safety zone set by the Void Realm for magicians is below the legendary level. Magicians who have broken through the legendary level are all corrupt officials that the Void Realm is cracking down on."
"Wait," Ash suddenly woke up, "Aren't we talking about the World Devouring Serpent?"
"Isn't that what we are talking about?" The dramatic poet smiled and said, "I laid so much groundwork just to make one point - magicians have a gravitational pull on knowledge. If there were no restrictions on virtual wings, any magician could drain the virtual realm, as long as the scope of his exploration was large enough and the time spent was enough. In order to prevent magicians from absorbing knowledge, the virtual realm has set up obstacles layer by layer since the Dream Ladder. When it comes to the Seventh Heaven, it even has a unique idea to seal the six-wing knowledge in the secret realm of the world, so that the gods will definitely not be able to absorb it. It's just that it didn't expect the gods to move the secret realm of the world directly, just like directly grabbing a factory in order to learn technology. However, when it came to the most critical power, the virtual realm suddenly gave up struggling."
Ash finally reacted: "The Supreme Holy Grail!"
"It is obviously the supreme knowledge, but the Void Realm does not have any obstacles. The speed at which you condense the Supreme Void Wing is faster than any of your Void Wings. Drinking from the Holy Grail is done in an instant, and you don't even need to steal and walk. If other Void Wings require you to eat their food, then the Supreme Void Wing is simply stuffed directly into your mouth."
"It's not that the virtual world is unwilling to stop it, but it can no longer stop it." The dramatic poet spread his hands: "Your gravity has exceeded the limit that the virtual world can bear."
"What's the meaning?"
"Do you know how black holes are formed?" the dramatic poet asked in return.
Fanxing said: "When a star's thermonuclear fuel is exhausted and can no longer bear the huge mass of its outer shell, its core will begin to collapse, and matter will gather inexorably to the center, eventually forming a star with infinitely small volume and infinitely large mass."
"A very beautiful answer," the dramatic poet bowed slightly, "but the current situation is a little different from a black hole. At least the thermonuclear fuel is not exhausted. Unfortunately... two neutron stars appeared in the center of the star."
"You two are like extremely dense neutron stars. Your gravitational pull on civilization has exceeded the limits of the virtual realm. Even if you do nothing, the knowledge of magic will continue to gather on you. However, because your magic power is already overflowing, this time the knowledge of magic can only be combined with your greed, just like a hunter chasing prey, and like food chasing diners."
"The World Devouring Serpent." Ash muttered.
"It may not be obvious to you, Ash, but you can clearly feel it, right, Stars?" The dramatic poet said, "Every time you kill a snake, your magic level will be significantly improved, and you will be able to go further on the path to the heartbeat of the virtual realm."
Ash looked at Fanxing, who had a blank expression on her face, obviously agreeing.
"The snake is not your enemy. On the contrary, it actually helps you seize the heartbeat of the virtual realm." The dramatic poet said: "Only by killing the snake can you quickly increase the realm of magic of all factions and go further on the path to the end!"
"Then the knowledge of snakes—"
"Of course they are drawn from the Void Realm." The Drama Poet thought for a moment and said, "By the way, since the birth of the seventh level of the Void Realm, the Void Realm has stopped dropping magician manuals."
"Ah?" Ash was stunned, "Why?"
"Your gravity is too great, and any soaring ideal will fall to the ground with a thud." Drama poet Shudao Oh: "Not only the magician's manual, but also magic power, knowledge and everything you can imagine... Every time the snake is reborn, it will attack you with much more power than the last time. Your fight to the death is just an appearance. In fact, you are devouring each other. You can even say that the snake is actually your official robber. It will continuously steal all the power in the world, and then send it to you to help you take a step further."
"Until it succeeds in swallowing you."
"When it grows to a certain size, both the virtual world and reality will be affected. In other words, the virtual world and reality will be unable to resist your gravity and will merge into the snake to keep the appointment."
"Just like the formation of a black hole, all the resources in the world will be continuously integrated into the snake's body. No matter how many times you defeat them, they will come back again, because they are not chasing you, but you are attracting them!"
“The collapse has already begun,” the dramatic poet shrugged. “A black hole is about to be created, and everything is irreversibly heading towards mediocrity.”
Ash's mind was full of thoughts, and he finally understood the mechanism of the World Devouring Snake. However, it was of no help, and made people even more desperate - even if they could seal the snake, it would be meaningless, because if this snake was sealed, a new snake would appear next time.
Just like the tides, it is impossible for you to take away today's waves and there will be no new waves tomorrow. As long as the Supreme of Magic has a gravitational pull on the world that transcends the virtual realm, then the world will eventually turn into a snake chasing the Supreme.
This is not a disaster, but the progress of civilization. The power of the Supreme Magician exceeds the upper limit of what the virtual world can accommodate. Even if the Supreme Magician does nothing, the world will naturally collapse due to gravity.
If we use a game analogy, it's like two players have surpassed the maximum level... no, it's the seventh chapter after the players have reached the maximum level, but the server has not been upgraded to the level that can handle the seventh chapter, so the entire server will be damaged.
The snake that devours the world is not their despair, but the limit of civilization.
"What's the way to deal with the World Devouring Snake?" Fanxing said calmly: "According to what you said, this world is doomed. There is nothing we can do except delay time."
"The knowledge of magic is actually the concept of magicians." The dramatic poet said, "This is why it is said that the snake originated from the concept of magicians. Without magicians, there would naturally be no knowledge of magic, let alone the birth of the snake that devours the world. The magician is the mother, the knowledge is the seedbed, and the snake is the result."
"You are all considered a piece of magician concepts. As long as the magician concepts are not complete, and there are external magicians providing free knowledge, the snake can be reborn endlessly."
"The snake is only the result, and knowledge is only the middleman. If you want to solve the root cause of the snake that devours the world, there is only one way."
"Become the only magician and complete the concept of magician."
The dramatic poet looks at them:
"This way, once you kill the World Devouring Serpent, it will not be able to regenerate again... because it has already completed its mission and helped you gather all the knowledge. There is no knowledge in this world that does not belong to you."
"And you will become a true world-devouring snake."
What
Ash's expression was like a student bending down to pick up a pen in math class. He didn't react for a moment. How to become the only magician? How to complete the concept of magicians? There are as many magicians as there are in this world. Moreover, someone may become a magician every minute and every second. How to complete -
Ash suddenly stopped, Tong Kong wincing.
He immediately turned his head to look at the stars. The stars seemed to be still looking at the drama poet with a serene expression. Her skin was whiter than snow, and she was cold and noble. It seemed that nothing in the world could shake her anymore. However, the color in her eyes was like the starlight emitted from a destroyed star, with a dead silence hidden in the shining.
"Stars, we are not discussing the Shadow Kingdom now, and it is not only the shadows that are going to die." Ash took a step back and said in a daze: "It is all sentient life, from your Star Kingdom to the Blood Moon Kingdom, from the Sea of Knowledge to the Seven Heavens, everything you can see and cannot see, everything you can imagine and cannot imagine, all of them will be—"
Fanxing turned her head slightly to look over, perhaps because she found Ash's frightened posture very interesting, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, a charming look flowed through her eyebrows, her eyes were shining with starlight, and she smiled beautifully.
"so what?"
