"The greetings are over, now let's get down to business - compared to meaningless cooperation, Faina, I care more about this thing."
Instead of continuing the topic of the Sage of the East China Sea, Joshua was sitting opposite Faina. The two of them were in the center of the living room. He looked directly at the other person's face that seemed to be unable to be clearly distinguished, and then raised a book in his hand. The appearance is quite ancient, and there are books engraved with ancient divine patterns on it. Joshua squinted his eyes, and silver light flashed in his pupils. He said calmly: "I remember this book about the power of steel. It’s very clear that that was one of the items traded between the remnants of the Earth Temple and me.”
"Why did it appear to you and be given to me by you?"
"do not you know?"
After hearing this question, it was just a mental projection. Faina, who was covered with a layer of misty silver mist, said in surprise. She rubbed her temples with her right index finger strangely: "I am from the last era. , the bloodline descendants of the Earth Mother Goddess, basically all the legendary strong men already know... Although I broke with them very early and became their enemy, in the final analysis, I was born there. Now that they have given up those crazy plans, So it’s not surprising that they’re getting back together.”
"This book is about the experience of cultivating the power of steel of the Earth Mother Goddess and the Chongshan Titan in the last era. Even if it is handed over to you, its original text is engraved on the giant stone slab of the Earth Temple. It is a masterpiece of ancestors of all generations. Transcribed point by point."
But Joshua did not answer her, and the soldier's eyes were still full of suspicion - of course he knew that Faina's words just now were very calm, but all of this was a bit too suspicious, but I guess the other party wouldn't be there. After all, lying in a place like this is something you will know as soon as you ask.
Faina was not annoyed when she saw Joshua's alert look. She just chuckled: "Okay, Earl Radcliffe, not all people in the Earth Temple are crazy. It's just that when the flame goes out, then The pain of being connected to the earth cannot be understood by those who have not experienced it personally. As for me, who chose the way of the sage to integrate with this world, I originally planned to use my talents to try to become the new Mother Goddess of the Earth, but unfortunately I failed in the end. I had to break with the other lunatics and take another path.”
Even when she talks about becoming a god and taking over the responsibilities of the gods who died in the last era, Faina still looks calm, as if everything is natural. This woman with crystal-like hair has always been so calm and calm. She waved her hand and didn't mind Joshua's warning: "Joshua, you rekindled the flame and saved this world from the end." Among them - I have wanted to meet you for a long time to express my gratitude to you."
Having said this, Faina stood up and bowed 90 degrees to Joshua solemnly. The courtesy was so great that even the soldiers had to stand up to greet him - if everything was because of him, then he would take the bow. This gift doesn't matter, but after all, the most important thing to save the world is the sage's backup. He is just an introduction. With Joshua's character, he is not willing to accept the other party's gift.
By now, Joshua has naturally realized Faina's sincerity. This sage does not have any thoughts of planning any conspiracy, nor any hostility. She has not lied about her motives and reasons for coming here. He was also told everything. The other party had no reason to deceive him.
"In that case, I really need you to go over and help deliver this book... As for cooperation, what can Moldavia, a northern mountain city, and Sea Dragon City, a coastal city, cooperate with?"
His attitude obviously softened a lot. Joshua sat down and began to negotiate with the other party in a friendly manner: "If it is about the cultivation of Dragon Knights, I really want to ask for the secret of the Sea Dragon Knights. Only then can I Take it out, it’s probably some of the magic technology that you might like.”
"These are little things."
But at this time, it was Faina's turn to shake her head. She smiled and said: "Everything in Mikerov's world is already a trivial matter. With the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site you opened and knowing the vastness of the outside world, Things on the mainland are no longer important.”
"Although it is still the foundation and the origin, everyone knows that if you continue to focus on the limited continent, you will definitely be eliminated in a few decades - because the future belongs to the distance and to pioneering .”
The woman with the name of the Sage of the Sea spoke clearly and calmly. She lowered her head slightly and said in a pleasant voice: "For this world, the most important thing is the cooperation between you and me, not the cooperation between two local forces. Cooperation—Although I am also very interested in the emerging magic technology, it should be the cooperation proposal proposed to you by Barbarossa and others. I am self-aware and will not get involved in this matter."
This is indeed true. Joshua nodded slightly. He naturally knew the influence that a legendary strongman had on the world. No matter how prosperous Moldavia is, there are twenty or thirty places that are equivalent to it on the Mycroft continent. However, the legendary powerhouse is different. It is a realm that only those who have achieved success will know. , is the essential sublimation of a life form.
However, despite understanding this, Joshua really didn't want to talk nonsense today. He would not continue working when he returned home from the world of Kronos across the void, so the warrior said straightforwardly: "Okay, Ms. Sage, Since you were the first to express goodwill, it's okay for us to cooperate, but you also know that cooperation must be beneficial to both parties. I just want to know what you want from me and what I can get from you. What."
"... You are still so direct. You are indeed the only being in this era who possesses the power of steel."
After quietly listening to Joshua's direct words that were quite impolite, but indeed very time-saving, Faina chuckled, but she was silent for a while. After a while, she slowly said: " If that’s the case, then I won’t talk nonsense. To be honest, I have always been looking for ways to travel to other worlds.”
"Um?"
Joshua raised his eyebrows slightly, he was a little puzzled: "Even the most powerful ones can try to travel through the world after they have a certain method. If there is a natural time and space channel, then ordinary people can also go through it. Such a trivial matter, I won’t ask you to come here specially, right?”
"That's just a random exploration leading to a world I don't know where. What I want is a filtering and positioning transmission that can determine certain conditions."
Faina shook her head. This elegant and calm woman said with emotion: "Did you know that the number of life worlds in the multiverse is unusually small? Many worlds only have a stable circulation of steel power, but no flames. Light, they may have the possibility of giving birth to life, but they need to wait for millions of years. It is meaningless to go to such a world."
"I once wanted to connect with this land, become the new Mother Goddess of the Earth, and let it be reborn... Although this arrogant plan failed, I also found a way to communicate with the world, and I integrated into the world near Hailong City. , made me a legend, but it also limited me.”
"Just one world can no longer make me move forward. If I want to continue to become stronger, I must get information from other worlds."
At this point, Faina's face showed a hint of urgency, and silver spiritual mist surged around the projection: "Information from the living world."
— Very similar to me.
Hearing this, Joshua thought this way, because his power of steel was obtained by traveling through several worlds and analyzing the inner information. The Sage of the East China Sea also held the same knowledge as him in this regard. It is the power that needs to be seen more and more strange worlds to become stronger.
In this way, everything makes sense. Faina's strength originally stagnated, but she saw a turning point because she activated the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Field. She could not control the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Field, so she changed her focus to a very powerful one. It may be related to the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site.
Her vision was indeed correct - wasn't it? Joshua had just returned from a different world of life, and he himself felt that Faina's appearance was a coincidence.
At this time, Ms. Sage was still describing her thoughts seriously: "To be honest, Joshua, the star world I described to you has a psychic world that is quite different from the Mycroft continent. very interested."
"That is very suitable for my power. If I can go to that world, it will definitely be of great help to me... I know that you can communicate with the will of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site. I hope that one day, you can entrust it and let it A spiritual alter ego of mine was sent to that world.”
"Theoretically it can be done, and the governing will will not refuse such a request."
Joshua didn't ask why. Everyone had their own thoughts and reasons for their actions, let alone the legendary strong ones. Faina is a friendly human being who can communicate. Her becoming stronger is not a bad thing for the world, and Joshua is naturally willing to help her.
But the warrior still had one last doubt, which had nothing to do with Faina, but he still couldn't help but ask: "Ms. Sage, you said that you are a descendant of the Mother Goddess of the Earth, and you have also thought about becoming a god. To resurrect the world on behalf of the Mother Goddess of the Earth... Then do you know the reason for the fall of the Mother Goddess of the Earth?"
"According to what I know, after the final battle against the Evil God and the Abyss, He was still alive, but now, the Mother Goddess is definitely dead, and the will of the world is also angry with humans. I do have some guesses, but it is not true. Know the truth.”
"I don't understand the death of the Mother Goddess."
Regarding Joshua's doubts, Faina could only shake her head. She sighed softly and said helplessly: "Even if we are descendants of divine blood, we are still human beings... History disappears in the changes, leaving behind What comes down are also biased words with strong subjective meaning... If you really want to know these things, you can ask Barnier and William. These two people are one of the most knowledgeable people in the world, especially in this aspect. , even the five-color dragon once opened its books to them."
"In addition, you can also ask the fairies in Fairy Township. The four Fairy Queens have perfect inheritance from the previous era. Fairy Township is also the best-preserved area that has not had any wars for thousands of years."
Joshua asked curiously. He held his left hand across his chest and touched his chin with his right hand: "Why do goblins know about these things? Speaking of which, they have become more and more active recently."
This development is completely different from the previous life. The warrior thought in his heart.
"Because they have been in the Fairy Country since they were lost three hundred years ago. Their inheritance will naturally not be disturbed by war, so they preserve a large amount of knowledge and information about ancient times. The emperor of your country, Yi Srel's ancestors once had goblin blood, so the goblins will help and get close to them. You should have seen these little guys."
Having said this, Faina, who had always been quite calm and elegant, curled her lips and showed an obvious look of disdain: "As for why she is becoming active now, it is normal. Fairies are the most sensitive race to nature. When the flames are extinguished, Sometimes, they will feel that this world is quite uncomfortable, even more painful than us descendants of divine blood. It is precisely because of this that the fairy queens established a demiplane fairy town preservation group outside the world to simulate the world. .”
"In terms of race, it is indeed correct, but for the entire world, this choice is equivalent to deserting... But no matter what, the project itself is great. In time, the Fairy Country may really become a world. No need Ancient dragons do not need the will of the world, and the world is completely created by intelligent life... The reason why they came out is also very simple - now that the flame has been rekindled and nature has restored its balance, why should they hide in the semi-finished Fairyland?"
Faina speaks very quickly, and while speaking, she also subconsciously uses her spirit to communicate, which is equivalent to having a double-sounding echo all the time. It is very difficult for ordinary people to hear her words clearly, but Joshua But there was no problem. In response to Ms. Sage's answer, he nodded and said, "Okay."
There was no need to say too much. He already understood the specific situation. Now, only Faina was left to say what she could give Joshua.
At the same time, Sage Canghai gradually slowed down his speech and said, "This is my request. I want to know the coordinates of the world of stars and ask the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Field to send me there. You need to tell me Information about my world."
"And I will tell you all my experience in the soul's ultimate meaning."
Under Joshua's rather surprised gaze, Faina smiled: "You have never concealed your whereabouts and requests. As long as you are willing, everyone will know what you have been troubled about recently... I, as the ultimate intention of the soul, By breaking through the legendary existence, it can be seen that you have already started on the Ultimate Soul, but my experience can save you from countless detours."
But in fact, Joshua was not surprised by this.
—Finally, there is a spellcaster who can break through with the ultimate intention of the soul. The warrior thought so and recalled Barnier and William. He almost laughed.
But at the moment when Joshua was slightly distracted, Faina had already stood up. The silver spiritual mist all over her body surged like a tide, turning into a small magic barrier, covering the entire living room. The moment Ya came back to her senses, she said: "What I am located here is a spiritual clone. She does not have any physical body to carry it, it is just a pure spiritual body... But even so, I can still see colors through her. Hear sounds, touch objects, enjoy food, smell.”
Hearing this, Joshua immediately understood that Faina had begun to explain her understanding of the soul's ultimate meaning. Because her spiritual clone was about to dissipate, she was so straightforward. However, the warrior was not disgusted with this style. He also stood up and listened carefully to the legendary spellcaster's explanation of his experience.
"I have dissected my own body and determined one thing - the body is the basis for intelligent life to observe and perceive the world. These perceptions are transmitted to the brain through the microcurrents in the ganglia, and appear as what we see and touch. Everything, the soul, plays no role in this.”
"Most of human thinking relies on the brain to operate, and the remaining half is the soul. This is why the brain is the key to most lives. It also proves that for Mrs. McCrow, the soul is not actually necessary for good deeds, but In the universe, there must also be intelligent races without souls."
At this point, Faina's spiritual body began to gradually disperse, turning into translucent light spots that were like crystal, refracting brilliance in the air. But even so, she still said calmly: "But on the other hand, There must also be races that only have souls—just like me.”
"If the soul can perceive everything that the body can perceive, and when the spiritual practice reaches this point, then what is the difference between the invisible soul and the material body?"
In response, Joshua shook his head.
There is no difference anymore.
He already understood what Faina meant when she said these words, and had already guessed what the other party planned to say.
At this time, Canghai's sage was still like an elegant and gentle teacher, using her spirit to outline a large series of graceful runes in mid-air. She seemed to be immersed in a special realm: "The soul is a certain kind of energy. , the soul is also a kind of substance, matter and energy are one, soul and matter are also... they can be converted into each other, as long as you master the know-how."
In mid-air, those beautifully written runes retracted back to Faina's hand in an instant. The sage clenched his slender white fist, and then opened it again - in her hand, a ball of pure translucency The energy light group is undergoing a wonderful transformation: energy, matter and soul, light group, crystal, mist, the three are in one, forming a strange roulette wheel that rotates endlessly.
A sincere and proud smile appeared on Faina's face that could not be seen clearly - it was the joy of a seeker showing his path to his fellow travelers.
"The mass-spirit conversion rune, this is what I plan to trade with you."
Why do people say that I am watery every day... If I want real water, I can write 2,000 words about the scenery and the decorative details in the lord's mansion...
