Chapter 96: Proof of Destiny! The Beginning of Proving the Way!
this moment.
Xiao En seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
He set up a magic warning trap near the Eye Demon's territory, then returned to the cave and began his first bold attempt.
——Strong acid arrow!
Xiao En began to mobilize the mysterious knowledge in his brain. With the surge of primitive magic power, the mysterious knowledge began to work, and an arrow condensed by strong acid appeared in his palm.
In the past, Xiao En had always focused his attention on the outside world and the magic in his hands, but this time he closed his eyes and did not even look at the acid arrow condensed in his hand. Instead, he put all his perceptions into his brain, paying attention to the changes and operations of the mysterious knowledge.
“On Earth, people chase knowledge, but here, knowledge chases people.”
Knowledge will guide your spellcasting.
Knowledge will give you new spells.
Because knowledge is alive, it is a power and a resource.
But if you rely on knowledge for everything, is that knowledge still truly yours? Do you control knowledge, or does knowledge control you?
Xiao En cut off the guidance of knowledge and imprisoned their activity.
To use Earth's adjectives, his current spellcasting has been transformed from automatic driving to manual driving, so it is no surprise that the strong acid arrow that Xiao En had just condensed in his hand dissipated directly.
But all this made Xiao En feel extremely happy!
Because his spell failed.
This is a very rare thing in the weird kingdom. Normal spellcasters will not fail to cast a spell without reason. Spell failure is often interrupted by some accident.
But Xiao En was just casting a spell normally, and it still failed!
This is great.
"In the previous life, there were stories and novels about the science fiction era on Earth. In the stories, the people living in the future technology adapted to the fully automated intelligent era, but in the end, they themselves degenerated and could not even do the simplest things well."
"Then the knowledge that is activated, the knowledge that guides your spellcasting, the knowledge that teaches you new spells."
“Is it a kind of artificial intelligence?”
“If knowledge is a resource, can it be considered a computing resource in the future?”
"I am in a situation where I am suppressing my knowledge, and the spell has failed."
"So."
"Does it mean that without the knowledge of animation, I am not even a qualified wizard?"
"I am now like a person who has adapted to future technology, because I am used to the knowledge of activation, a kind of artificial intelligence. Once I am separated from it, I can't even use a simple spell."
In the weird kingdom, animated knowledge is as common as air.
But the more ordinary and inconspicuous things are, the easier it is to confuse you.
Once you become accustomed to it cognitively and rely on it, if something takes it away one day, such as the Old One, then your ability will be completely invalidated.
Why is the power of the extraordinary people ineffective against the old ones of the same path?
Xiao En seemed to have a little answer.
At this moment, his inspiration was stimulated to the limit. Xiao En tried to cast the spell again. He began to use his brain to memorize the entire process of knowledge operation. The activated knowledge is the caster's plug-in. He now wants to remove this plug-in from himself.
Each mysterious rune of knowledge was memorized by the brain individually. Xiao En found that they were extremely complex. Just memorizing them made Xiao En very painful and difficult.
"Is this the nature of magic in this world?"
"The original spell model is composed of a large number of mysterious runes. It looks like a very complicated circuit diagram."
"Can I write this down?"
"You can give it a try!"
Xiao En had never felt his potential so clearly. He squeezed his brain and heart power, relying on the innate inspiration after his body was strengthened, and forced himself to memorize the huge rune model of this spell.
This was something he didn't need to worry about at the beginning, because the activated knowledge would automatically mobilize these mysterious runes to construct the spells he needed to cast!
Extraordinary people only need to pursue more knowledge, because knowledge is resources and power.
Sean is now trying to understand the knowledge.
Failed.
Failed again.
Still failed.
Xiao En didn't know how many times he tried. Even with the huge amount of primitive magic power in his body, it was almost exhausted. Until a certain moment he completely memorized the spell model of the mysterious runes in his brain, he completed the last step of casting the spell. A strong acid arrow appeared in his palm and hit the wall directly, leaving a pool of corrosive acid.
"Success!"
An unprecedented joy surged in his heart, and Sean cast this spell for the first time without relying on any knowledge of activation.
This is one of the most powerful offensive spells he has mastered, as the other one, Explosive Fire, is too difficult to control.
Xiao En did not rely on knowledge to cast spells, so his spellcasting was not as fast as before, and was even a little slow. His casting speed was too slow, but after completing the spell, he understood more than he had imagined at that moment.
It’s like he only knew how to use a mobile phone to make calls in the past, but now he knows a little bit about the principles behind why mobile phones can make calls!
"Can these mysterious runes be taken apart and reassembled?"
“Like a code?”
"The activated knowledge automatically completes the programming of the spell model. So can I reprogram these mysterious runes into a spell myself?"
——Strong acid arrow.
Xiao En tried to cast the spell again. With the successful experience last time, this time it was much smoother. Even the casting process became proficient. He tried to mobilize the mysterious knowledge in his brain, completely suppress the activation of knowledge, and finally tried to combine and change the spell model.
The spell model constructed with this mysterious knowledge had some repeated mysterious runes, as if it were a spell. Sean tried to delete and change a small part of it.
This is very dangerous.
There was a chance he himself would be injured by the acid summoned by the spell, but it was worth a try.
In a flash of magical light.
What appeared in Sean's palm was no longer an acid arrow, but a sphere of strong acid. He experimentally changed the least dangerous part, and with a little inspiration and luck, he finally completed a new spell.
——Secondary Acid Ball (1st level spell)!
Xiao En used the energy of a 2nd-level spell to cast a 1st-level spell.
But this isn't a failure, it's a huge success.
Because for the first time he mastered a new spell without relying on extracting extraordinary relics!
The whispers of knowledge rose again, but quietly.
No emotion at all.
——"The master has mastered a new spell - Lesser Strong Acid Ball. This is an incomplete spell and there is still a lot of room for improvement."
The voice of knowledge is very cold, like a mechanical sound without any emotion.
“Knowledge is still alive.”
"But the emotion that activates knowledge seems to be gone. Is it because I suppressed the madness?" Sean asked in surprise.
Past knowledge has its own emotions, whether it is excitement, happiness, or excitement.
But it has nothing now.
So where does the emotion of knowledge come from? Why did it have emotional fluctuations at the beginning? But now it is as emotionless as a robot?
"Old times?"
Xiao En murmured, "Revitalized knowledge contains the crazy emotions of the past?"
"Why did I suppress all this?"
The process of asking oneself?
Or did he skip the knowledge and rely entirely on his own ability to understand and master a spell?
Xiao En didn't have an answer yet, but he knew he was on the right track.
Knowledge is still alive, but it has no emotions.
"If the spell model for constructing the acid arrow can be separated into the secondary acid ball, then it means that the source of all spells is the runes that are constructed as the basis of the mysterious knowledge." "They are like extremely complex codes."
"no!"
"I need to continue to verify and integrate knowledge and action. I cannot rely entirely on my own guesses. I must observe the complete changes of the mysterious knowledge when I extract the extraordinary relics next time."
Acid Arrows can be split into secondary Acid Balls, but by constructing a spell model of Acid Arrows, can it be split into more other spells?
Obviously not.
This involves the origin of a supernatural essence. These runes are obviously constructed of the spell "Strong Acid", but other spells have nothing to do with the Strong Acid Spell.
He may not have extracted all the basic runes yet, just like he doesn't have the complete programming code.
If spell models can be changed, then they can be created, just like programming code makes up a new small program.
"The extraction of extraordinary relics is definitely not that simple. It is likely that it involves the need to complete a part of the principle of the corresponding law. Because of the extraction process, a part of the origin of the law is also absorbed, and it suffers corresponding pollution."
Sean began to brainstorm.
"So, what is the source of the spell?"
"If we skip the part about the supernatural essence, where does the source of all magic come from?"
"According to the technology tree developed on Earth."
"If it is translated into the thinking mode of the Weird Kingdom, then how were these spells invented?"
"calm down."
"Drink some water first. I need to reorganize my thoughts."
Xiao En sat down, drank a sip of water, ate something, and replenished some sugar to make his brain more active. Biological energy can also affect thinking.
He needs a little inspiration now and he needs to be in the best mental state.
"Can the knowledge passed down by the Earth give me any guidance?" Sean murmured.
I don’t know how long it took.
Xiao En suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had thought of something. He opened his eyes instantly and murmured, "Bionics?"
A large number of things in modern technology are manufactured based on bionics research, such as airplanes, submarines, robotic arms, radars, etc. They are all applications of bionics in modern technology.
Sean knows little about higher-level bionics because that is not his major.
However, he roughly knew that bionics involved many categories, such as mechanical bionics, molecular bionics, energy bionics, cellular bionics, etc. In some science fiction novels he had read in his previous life, bionics was also applied to many of the most cutting-edge scientific and technological fields.
"Is magic an application of bionics?"
"Some time ago, I encountered an elemental that could spit acid. So, can constructing a spell model for acid spitting be considered a form of energy bionics?"
Seek answers in practice.
Xiao En searched through his mind and quickly found a suitable spell.
——The power of wildness!
It is a second-level spell that can enhance Xiao En's strength, physique and agility attributes. It is considered a relatively commonly used blessing ability.
This time he relied on the knowledge of activation to cast the spell.
Because Xiao En no longer had enough original magic power to repeat the previous research, and analyzing the strong acid arrows had consumed too much of his energy.
A spiritual light covered Xiao En's body.
He clearly felt the increase in strength and agility, and he also discovered slight changes in himself, as if there were some subtle changes in the structure of his body.
Xiao En's body has obviously become a little bigger, and he seems to be more wild, and his face has also changed slightly to become more like a beast.
"inspiration!"
"Let me explode once! Let me see the changes in my body clearly!"
Wild Power is a spell from the school of transmutation, and is the theory closest to the concept of bionics.
Xiao En tried to enter a state of introspection. Even if it didn't work, he needed to be aware of his inner self, and even mobilized the psychic power in his body for this purpose.
The principle of this spell.
According to the Weird Kingdom, the primitive power of nature is infused into the body of the recipient, which significantly improves the recipient's strength, agility and physique.
But what Sean wants now is not the principles of the weird country, what he wants is the principles dissected from the earth's knowledge.
Powerful inspiration bursts out at this moment!
Xiao En saw the changes within himself. He discovered that his muscle and bone structures were significantly different. Driven by the mysterious runes, the original magic produced a series of chain reactions, causing Xiao En's body to undergo a transformation.
"There is a part of my body that has undergone obvious changes. Is it that my internal muscles and bones have imitated some kind of beast?"
At this moment, Xiao En had an unprecedented enlightenment.
"if it is like this."
“I should be able to do more.”
Xiao En dissipated the spell he had bestowed upon himself and tried to cast the spell again. This time he suppressed the activation knowledge, but did not take risks like last time. Instead, he observed the rune model of the entire spell and finally divided it into three parts. He then used the method of copying to try to replace a part of the spell model.
The power of the wild also enhances strength, agility and constitution attributes.
If the bionics reasoning is correct, then this spell, when broken down, contains the original models of three other spells.
They are - the strength of the ox, the grace of the cat, and the tenacity of the bear.
The corresponding attribute abilities of these three spells are strength, agility and constitution. Xiao En chose one of the rune models to try. If his reasoning is successful, the power of wildness can be transformed or simulated to produce the effect of one of these three spells.
Sean took a deep breath.
He tried to cast the spell on his own again, and with a flash of magic light, Sean felt the changes in his muscles, becoming stronger and more powerful.
——"The master has mastered a new spell - the power of the bull."
Knowledge's cold and emotionless voice sounded.
It worked!
For the first time, Sean began to understand the entire weird country so clearly.
At this time, the original magic power in his body was almost exhausted, and Xiao En had to prepare to rest. Fortunately, he still had psychic power to deal with some emergencies, and there were also explosive traps set up outside in advance.
However, before resting, Xiao En used his inspiration to contact the mysterious knowledge in his brain again.
suddenly!
Xiao En's whole body was shocked. He found that the structure of the mysterious knowledge had changed slightly. Part of the mysterious knowledge seemed to be connected together, forming a mysterious rune structure that was completely different from the previous chaos and disorder.
——1st level Arcanist/4th level Wizard/5th level Psion.
Knowledge gave him the answer.
Without raising his extraordinary level or holding a promotion ceremony, Sean lost one wizard level and gained one arcanist level.
The profession of arcanist is not at all within the extraordinary promotion system of the weird country, because there are no extraordinary relics that can promote this profession.
In other words, it is an extraordinary path that did not exist in the past!
Technology is constantly developing and advancing.
However, some of the ideas produced by the collision of cultures on Earth for thousands of years were already at the pinnacle of humanity when they were born. These most brilliant ideas of mankind would be very explosive in any world. If they were in the Crystal Wall System of the Forgotten Kingdom, they could even ascend to deity on the spot and crush those powerful indigenous gods.
Here, thoughts can resonate with the law.
If you extend the timeline of the Earth, you will find that throughout human history, technology has been progressing slowly, but the most brilliant ideas of mankind, which are miracles of mankind and miracles of destiny, have only appeared a few times in the thousands of years of history.
The last explosion was caused by the red giants, and even the little legacy they left behind allowed the Weird Kingdom to end the Dark Age of Despair.
Only at this moment did Xiao En understand that what he inherited was not just the legacy of an unknown person, but the civilization heritage of the entire earth.
After asking himself, Xiao En has already embarked on the road to destiny.
He may still be an ordinary person, but he stands on the shoulders of countless giants. The sages of humankind throughout the ages lifted him up with their hands and helped him pick up the certificate of destiny among the stars!
The proof of destiny is the beginning of the proof of the truth.
