When the basic composition of a world is the four elements of wind, fire, water, soil, and not the microscopic particles of a certain world, the world is no longer linked to science.
But there are some things in common, such as the methods and paths of intelligent life to study the nature of the world, which is determined by the different but similar evolutionary modes of thinking of intelligent life. If science is the exploration and development of the earth and nature by human beings, then Magic is the understanding and development of the nature of the world by mages.
And because the basic composition of this world is the four elements, so no matter how far the magic civilization develops, element magic is always the foundation and technical reserve of many magic classifications, just as the technology of a certain world has reached the age of spaceflight, but the cutting edge of physics is on the contrary. When it comes to the microscopic world, the theories and research results of these two worlds can still complement and promote each other. The most famous one is probably the theory of relativity and its subsidiary research. His explanation of space-time and gravity is the cornerstone of modern aviation, but the source of For the analysis and understanding of the microscopic world such as electron motion.
And the truth seekers in this world are also like this. Bold inferences, careful verification, and step-by-step analysis of the nature of the world are the only common pursuit of every mage. Theory, but it can create rapid progress in practical technology (magic).
I'm afraid no one would have thought that in that sudden encounter, the huge gain was not Roland who was enjoying the dragon's blood bath, nor was it because of the skyrocketing wealth points and believers, and at the same time the pain suffered by the soul. , the goddess of wealth who is painful and happy, but the loser of the war - zero.
"Hasselblad" means amber in the language of the Taco Republic, but in the surrounding snow-capped mountains, there is the core of the ice-cold plane - Hasselblad Castle.
Among the ancient ice and snow castles, the decoration style is based on the theme of "history". Unlike Esso, where slaves were born, the era of zero was already the heyday of the republic. The mythical beast with the clasp on it, the ice crystal spray on the frozen river and the lifelike fish in it are the legacy of ancient civilizations.
In the garden, the ice-sculpted maids are moving slowly, serving the guests who are also made of ice. Artists are playing. Except for the normal vocals and the music that should be played, the castle seems to be still in operation. But the empty ice and snow hall left in the history has only a lonely throne, on which the owner of the castle sleeps forever, and the slender dress skirt extends all the way down the steps.
Zero was sleeping, the appearance and dress that were different from those on the main plane, but there was a small golden crown on his forehead.
But her current appearance seems to be a little bad. The left side of the body is biting cold and hoarfrost, while the right side is burning brightly. There seems to be a dividing line in the middle to isolate all these changes, so that they do not interfere with each other.
The ancient emperor slept there, just like in the past thousand years, but at this time, more ice cones grew on one side of the throne, while the other side began to melt, which seemed to imply that some changes were taking place.
In this world where everything is still, time is meaningless. I don't know how long it has passed, the snow and ice outside are still the same, and the sky outside the window is still gray, but suddenly, a soft sigh sounded in the empty hall.
"... Sure enough, there is only that possibility... I didn't expect to be taught a lesson by the younger generation... Is this one of the essential rules of the world?"
Although she is asking herself, she does not need to answer herself. At the zero level, her cognition can already change the world.
"… energy… can be conserved?"
For the master of this plane, words are power, and her understanding is truth. When the words fall, the whole world is lit up, and the golden brilliance extends from the throne. Wherever the brilliance reaches, many things are lit up. been changed.
Observation exists, and under the watchful eye of the great emperor, the world has been changed, as if an invisible paintbrush is coloring the world.
The snow-white ice and snow city walls were painted with the color of ash, as if they had been baptized by history. The skin of the doll-like ice sculpture maid had a little more flesh and blood, except for the still crystal clear eyes, it was simply a living person. .
The ice flowers in the garden were dyed colorful, and the ice fish jumping in the waves finally jumped into the water again, and the wheel of time that had been suspended for thousands of years was running again.
Around the castle, the original snow-capped mountains became green mountains with green shades. The permafrost wasteland reappeared with a yellow-brown color, and the amber of ice turned into a pearl among the mountains.
"…Is this what it feels like to breathe? This is the rhythm of a heartbeat?"
The biggest change is probably Zero himself. The transparent skin has white flesh and blood red red, and the emptiness of the dress has turned into a real silk satin.
"Boom... boom... boom."
The heartbeat that had been stagnant for thousands of years came alive again, joy and tension spread through the blood vessels, inexplicable changes occurred in Zero, and the accumulation of thousands of years was supplemented by another world, as if encountering a point. The golden hand turned into a stubborn stone of gold, perhaps she is still the emperor of the dead, but at this time, she is neither dead nor alive, but she is no longer the her she used to be.
"Zero? No, from today, my name is 'Heng'."
Only those same old consuls knew that, in those days, naming oneself after one's highest achievement was a personal convention that abandoned the "zero" of the name.
Glacier, Chuanxue, Frozen Sleep, Ice Under the Ice, and Zero. These represent the five stages of Zero, and after that, the name "Zero" has been with her for the longest time. Today, she finally changed her name again.
But what makes people incomprehensible is that the icy cold on the left and the burning scene on the right have not disappeared. The smooth skin of women is divided into two parts from the middle. The one on the right is the orange red of the flame. At her level, she can turn it around at will, but she finally decided to keep this appearance.
"These... as a souvenir."
But suddenly, she had just woken up from joy, she paused, she remembered the projection clone she lost, I am afraid that it is being analyzed by the other party, she can get the information of the other party and get a huge improvement like an epiphany, then the other party can also analyze herself. avatars, obtain the same level of intelligence.
"Probably not... It's just a clone, if you don't have a deep understanding of heat, you can't get anywhere..."
But in a place she never imagined, in the small world she had just experienced, there are also brushes that really paint the world, the white sea is painted blue, the pale sunlight is painted orange-red , while the running wolves were painted a willful grass green.
When his body fell into a deep sleep, the man's will descended on his own territory, and he changed this monotonous world at will.
And the one who was used as the will of the descendant, who was diligently coloring the world, was the lost incarnation of a certain undead emperor.
"It's no wonder that the ranking of this evolution is still above the dragon's blood. This time, I really found a treasure. I got the key that was lacking the most."
…
In a sense, there is no essential difference between necromancers and mages. Unlike bloodline warlocks who are born to be able to cast spells, they are also scholars who pursue truth and are good at turning knowledge and theory into real power.
If you insist on finding some differences, it is probably that the lower limit of necromancers is generally low, not only because of the lack of fear of the taboos and dangers of ordinary people, but more importantly, the goal of research is to point to "life" itself.
"Why do these limbs work like this? Why can't people move without this organ, then can't I move those pieces of flesh together? And... What the hell is a soul!"
When it comes to the details, due to limited energy and unlimited knowledge, it is like learning a certain subject to a certain extent and will inevitably specialize in a certain field of significance, and the research of necromancers naturally has a tributary.
There is no difference between them, just like the application of technology is no less than cutting-edge physics to make money, and the archmage who specializes in the study of the undead natural disaster and forbidden spell may not have beaten the flesh and blood alchemist made by Jingyan and hatred. Competing against each other, probably only depends on how far they have traveled on their respective paths, before they can describe the realm of epic, demigod, and so on.
Since they are all mages, just like the truth-level research results of ordinary mages, they are the only way to get to the demigod mages. vertex.
After the necromancer reaches a certain level, it is more difficult than the ordinary mage, or because the whole world is not friendly to the undead, the advancement of the undead is the most difficult, and the ordinary demigod mage corresponds to the epic undead. They have already It is the authority of their own research field, and those undead demigod emperors are actually not just authority in their field. They even created a field where only themselves exist, and the only owner of that blank space is the arrival of Because of the level that the world does not recognize as existence, but they have a real existence, so they become the enemy of the "world".
This is also the reason why the Undead Emperor is only a demigod, but he can enjoy the expulsion treatment of other evil gods and other gods. borderline.
But no matter how far you go, it starts from the basic topic. If my basic topic is "the quality of the soul", then, from the perspective of the mystery contained in the projection avatar, the research topic of "zero" is "the quality of life". temperature".
"Why is the soul 21 grams?", "Why is the body temperature of most life (mammals, birds) constant at 37°?" It's a bit similar from some directions, all seem like simple questions, just casual You can fool the past, but if you want to answer, keep asking questions to the most fundamental place, I am afraid that you have touched the core mystery of this world - the essence of the soul, the mystery of life.
Yes, from the very beginning, those necromancers who studied the structure of ghouls and the enhancement of ice dragons were all idiots who were blinded by power and went astray. The four elements reached their extremes and returned to the essence of the elements. Only with the source magic of Binghou and the simple and powerful forbidden spell, the undead magic starts from the graduate students and the dead, and the final research topic is also the origin-soul and life.
I have been able to go so far in soul science. In addition to my persistence and the accumulation of knowledge in two lifetimes, my soul that does not fall into reincarnation is also unparalleled in the world, and if I want to reach the normal way, it is impossible to resist the undead emperor. In the realm, in addition to the 99% of the effort, the 1% of the talent is also indispensable.
Although it sounds a bit frustrating and negative, since the Undead Emperor is already a "realm that cannot be reached by normal means", there is no such thing as the countless talents after the decimal point, no matter how hard you work, it is true Unreachable, maybe just a little bit worse, but it is the dividing line between victory and defeat.
Just as I did not have the experience of sharpening my soul in reincarnation, I did not witness the essence of my soul in reincarnation, I did not have the past of singing and bathing in the Styx River, and I did not have the experience of repeatedly repairing the wounded soul, these are the only ones at this time. Experience, it is impossible to reach the realm of the undead emperor.
As long as there are enough bases and a good environment for cultivation, there will be talents with 0.000… , honed to the point that only the talent of the day can be used to decide the winner. I am afraid that a hundred years of hard work and the luck of winning big prizes are indispensable, so the number of people will naturally be small, because the "impossible to reach the realm" is really It's too difficult to climb. In theory, there is no undead emperor under the age of two thousand years...
Are there exceptions? I got to this point when I was only three hundred years old? In a sense, I would like to thank the system, without her help, that cheating-like improvement, my accumulation will not be so fast, and it is impossible to get to this point so quickly, and I still have two worlds of knowledge, the biggest In the field of research, if you look at things from a different perspective, the scenery may be completely different, and the change in thinking is the most difficult place. How many amazing talents are stuck in the moment before the epiphany... I There is absolutely no mapping of the dead cat, her problem is different from most epic undead, and I will talk about this later.
Ahem, let's get down to business, in a sense, "Zero" is undoubtedly the genius that is almost impossible to exist. It took her countless years to get to this point, her age... Well, if we don't pursue it The ancient elves and ancient dragons such as Heloise and Xiaohong are of average age. From a gentleman's point of view, it is better not to pursue these ladies whose age is calculated in ten thousand years.
Well, it's definitely not because I'm worried that I accidentally think too much and leak it out, and let the dead cat bite the head, and it's not because I'm so poor recently that I have to get relief from the dead cat to avoid starvation... One of her pets actually has a small vault for private money. ! Dare to believe it!
Ahem, let's get down to business again, "Zero" is a ghost, and her talent is to plunder the heat of contacts. This is not a rare talent, and she is not a special high-level undead. The growth rate and combat power are extremely limited, but slightly different. Yes, but it is particularly sensitive to zero heat plunder. While other ghosts plunder the heat as much as possible when they are in contact, she carefully divides the heat into unit calculation units, and plays various tricks through accurate calculation.
This talent may not play much role in the battle, but the ultra-high-precision grasp of energy has allowed her to study negative energy for a thousand miles, and finally set foot on the peak, and let her truly enter the "unreachable". The realm of the undead emperor is the result of "the driving effect of energy on living things".
Under her talent, all energy changes are clear at a glance. She can observe the changes of body temperature to ordinary life in a very detailed manner, and even use this to prolong the "negative energy temperature" of the negative energy magnetic field around undead creatures. Research on personal patents such as From her special perspective, you can see the strength of the person and the undead just by looking at it. She is one of the best among the undead emperors in the research field of negative energy driving undead creatures. The Legion of the Undead is a real perpetual motion machine and a source of negative energy radiation, and it is the most terrifying existence in the protracted war.
When she regards energy as the source of the existence of living things, she also has the ability to incarnate energy and split energy incarnation. The real scary part of Zero lies in her perfect control of energy. Fortunately, only the body can play its role. All, Roland faced even less than one percent of the power.
But she stayed here. She only knew the effect of energy on living things and the undead, but she could not understand the effect of energy in the changes of the whole world. This is not because she is stupid or conservative, but the vision of the necromancer is always on the soul. And life is supreme, and I have no interest in the environment composed of inorganic substances, and if the energy changes in those environments are discarded, how can we draw the truth from the research of an individual alone, but many researches in this magical world are originally The idealism of "I see so there is", how difficult it is to figure out the truth.
Maybe someone reminded her, maybe she also learned some mysteries from the literature, but the undead emperor who has reached their level, the real world recognized in his heart is already different from reality, and he can even project it out to affect the real world, How difficult it is to smash past concepts and revise and reorganize.
Finally, when an equal existence, in a real world, in a way that her theory couldn't explain, slapped her in the face, making her painful and annoyed, but also woke her up.
"It turns out that energy is conserved. It can be transmitted from the sun and the moon to the grass, from the grass to the human being, and from the human corpse to return to nature. Perhaps, our world is not isolated. Negative energy can also be transmitted and transformed. Perhaps, The end of the negative energy that drives the undead is the positive energy that makes life move."
And when she updated this concept, her world finally went a step further. The conversion of "negative energy" and "positive energy" broke the realm of life and death. Fortunately, the Great Undead Emperor is already the highest title of the undead. Not good, but also set up a special title and level for it.
In a sense, this is the research result that came to the same destination as Roland. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of the two undead emperors. When Zero evolved into "Heng", the Roland who got some of the other party's research results from the incarnation, Complementing his theory from another way, he gained more.
Originally, it was absolutely impossible for Roland to analyze the incarnation of Zero, but Esso gave him a lot of knowledge of the undead. Although that knowledge is not necessarily better than Roland's, the real exclusive research results are still under seal, but it is the tower The standard teaching materials of the Republic of Croatia and the general research theory of high-level necromancers, and Zero himself has grown up step by step through these theories. With this knowledge, it seems that he has the key to open the door, and he can successfully analyze the incarnation.
"… The energy cycle of the world has been rebuilt. This is not the earth with only positive energy. The cycle of negative energy is one of the fundamental reasons for the existence of the soul, and it is the true mystery of this magical world. Zero's eyes are very useful. Now! What I see is not necessarily true, I am limited by the concept of the past, this is not the pure material world of the past, this is a world constructed by both spirit and material. I am trapped in the concept of this world At the same time, I was also limited by the scientific knowledge that used to be a treasure.”
At this moment, the broken "crown of the dead" was reorganized, but unlike the completely repaired Ice Walker, the soul emblem of the undead magic this time is the crystallization of the wisdom of the three undead emperors, but it has gone to another place. A road, a more difficult road has come to Roland.
It was a male face, but it was divided into two halves along the midline, with a skeleton on one side and a living person on the other. The face of the dead was laughing, while the living were crying. It broke the realm of life and death and gave insight into the soul. In essence, he is...
"...Since he has grasped the reincarnation of life and death, the judge who judges the dead is the most suitable for it. Then, he should be called 'Styx Judge'."
There is no fuel-saving lamp among the undead emperors. Zero can get inspiration and progress from Roland, but Roland, who is the victor, gets more, but it is limited to his strength level and cannot be fully revealed, but some gains can be seen. of.
At the same time as Roland made a breakthrough, the system's prompt sound also sounded, and the long-awaited power finally arrived.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully repairing the soul emblem and awakening the demigod-level racial talent 'the gaze of the underworld' that was broken by 30 points of intelligence breakthrough! System prompt: This talent is very dangerous, please use it carefully. The system reminds again: This talent has the possibility of further evolution, please use it carefully.]
