Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 29

Lumian thought for a moment and said after combining the physics knowledge he had learned:

"Why not just call it conservation law?"

"That's another law, but you don't need to know the details yet." The lady nodded in approval, "Actually, in essence, it is the same as the law of immortality, but with some more preconditions and specifics. Elaborate."

That's it... Lumian thought for a moment and said after careful consideration:

"According to the law of immortality, if I want to obtain extraordinary characteristics, in addition to hunting the corresponding monsters, I can also target other extraordinary people?"

Since the extraordinary characteristics are immortal, then the corresponding extraordinary characteristics will definitely be released after the death of the extraordinary person.

The lady showed some emotion:

"You're very perceptive.

"Therefore, this law is not suitable for most extraordinary people to know. This will cause each other to kill each other and make there no longer any trust between extraordinary people."

"Without this law, humans would kill each other." Lumian didn't care. "In the real world, are there enough suspicions, bullying, and murders?"

The lady responded with interest:

"But at least there is still a certain warmth and the brilliance of humanity."

Lumian thought for a while:

"From another perspective, this law should become a consensus among extraordinary people. Only in this way can the weak be prepared in advance and not completely fall prey to the few who know."

The lady nodded gently:

"It makes sense.

"Actually, there have been several battles between extraordinary people, and the relevant personnel can probably guess some of them."

She turned and said:

"The second law is called the law of extraordinary characteristic aggregation."

"Aggregation..." Lumian couldn't understand.

He could not deduce it from what was said before.

The lady's expression became a little more serious:

"As the being who created this world, even if the original Creator split into extraordinary characteristics of different paths, it does not mean that He has completely withdrawn from the stage. His spirit is dispersed in different Extraordinary characteristics and will never be erased, unless this world is completely die.

"Although these spirits are closer to the imprint, they all have the instinct to reunite and resurrect the original one.

"That is to say, after you become an Extraordinary, you will be more likely to meet other Extraordinary people than before, and you will be more likely to meet Extraordinary people of the same path or adjacent paths than you are to meet Extraordinary people of other paths. This is destiny. The higher the sequence, the more obvious this situation is."

In response to these words, Lumian had too many things he wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask them all at once, so he had to start with the most important ones:

"Combined with the law of immortality of extraordinary characteristics, can we draw the conclusion that aggregation brings killing?"

The lady showed her approval again:

"You're really sharp about this kind of thing.

"It's okay when the sequence is low. Once you reach the demigod stage, especially the angel queen, you have to find ways to weaken or avoid the impact of aggregation."

"Demigod, angel?" Although Lumian already knew that each sequence could lead to a true god at the end, he was still a little surprised and moved when he heard these two terms.

The lady explained casually:

"Demigod is the abbreviation of Demigod and Demihuman, including Extraordinaries from Sequence 4 to Sequence 1.

"Among them, Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 are called saints, Sequence 2 and Sequence 1 are called angels, and there are other names above that, but you'd better not know about it now."

Saints... angels... Lumian instantly thought of the patron saints and angels in different regions.

Are they real?

The remains of a saint are the corpses of a saint. Do they have extraordinary properties?

Lumian suddenly became frightened and asked instead:

"Every extraordinary characteristic has the spiritual imprint of the original creator. The higher the sequence, the more remains?

"Wouldn't those who take the magic potion also be affected in other ways?"

The lady nodded and smiled:

"Why else do you think this is called a dangerous and crazy road?

"This is one of the main reasons why taking magic potions can lead to loss of control.

"Well, losing control refers to losing control of extraordinary power and one's own spirit, mutating into a terrifying monster."

"Is there any other reason?" Lumian asked.

The lady said "hmm":

"The first is the spiritual legacy of those previous owners corresponding to the extraordinary characteristics. The strength mainly depends on their own personality. Well, the obsession and madness before death will also bring certain bonuses. The second is the wrong order or method. Taking the magic potion will cause great conflict in the body. Third, some beings will exert influence through the consumption of the magic potion. For example, the 'Peeper' path will passively accept the 'invisibility' every time it takes the magic potion. Sage' an infusion of knowledge."

Is the sound I heard after drinking the "Hunter" potion similar? Lumian thought about it briefly, told the truth about his experience, and finally said:

"Whose influence does that come from?"

The next second, he saw the expression of the lady opposite became a little strange.

She said solemnly:

"Some beings may become contaminated and lose control simply by knowing of His existence.

"Unfortunately, the owner of that voice is such an existence. You are not suitable to know his honorable name yet."

So scary? The true god of sequence 0? But most of the people in Intis and I know about the "Eternal Blazing Sun" and the "God of Steam and Machinery", so there is no problem... Is there a difference between the true god and the evil god? No, she just mentioned the "Hidden Sage" directly, which is also a Sequence 0... Is there a possibility that she actually doesn't know which one it is, and is covering it up with such vague words? My own ignorance? Lumian had many thoughts running through his mind.

Considering his own strength, he gave up this topic and asked about another interesting term:

"What is an adjacent pathway?"

The lady's expression returned to normal:

"Generally, no matter which path you choose and take the corresponding magic potion, you can only continue on this path step by step, otherwise it will inevitably lead to loss of control, at least semi-loss of control, but there are always exceptions to everything. Each path has one or more adjacent paths, and you can jump to it in a specific sequence, such as sequence 4, which divides humans and demigods.

"The adjacent path to 'Hunter' is 'Assassin'."

"Assassin"... sounds more classy than "Hunter"... Lumian asked with concern:

"Which is the adjacent path to 'The Secret Peeper'?

"Will jumping to the adjacent path stop being affected by the 'Hidden Sage'?"

"It is the 'General Knowledge' path. The current sequence 0 is the 'God of Steam and Machinery.'" The lady replied calmly, "After jumping to the past, you will still be affected by the 'Hidden Sage', but the degree will be different." It has been reduced a lot, after all, the corresponding extraordinary characteristics still exist, unless we find a way to expel them."

"How to get rid of it?" Lumian did not expect such a thing to happen.

"The easiest way is to give birth to a child. There is a high probability that the corresponding extraordinary characteristics will be transferred to him through mystical inheritance." The lady only mentioned a few words briefly, "You can also use special abilities in some ways, but there are certain The risk requires paying a high price."

Lumian nodded and asked another question:

"Does it have to be transferred in a specific sequence?"

The hope of reaching Sequence 4 and becoming a demigod seems slim.

The lady glanced at him:

"Theoretically, you can switch to a lower sequence, but the risk of losing control will be much greater. Unless there is no other way, try not to try it."

She paused and said:

"The two laws have been explained. Here is the method.

"This is one of the most important pieces of knowledge in the mysterious world."

most important? Lumian straightened his back instinctively and was extremely focused.

The lady continued:

"It's called 'acting'.

"It is a method to help you digest the potion. After digesting the potion, taking the next sequence of potions will reduce the risk of losing control a lot."

No wonder you can't drink Sequence 9 potion today and drink Sequence 8 potion tomorrow... You have to use the "acting method" to digest the previous one... Lumian suddenly realized.

He did not interrupt the other party and listened carefully to her explanation:

"Remember, it's digestion, not control.

"What is the 'acting method'? It means acting like an actor according to the name of the sequence, thereby reconciling the difference between oneself and the residual spiritual imprint of the extraordinary characteristics, gaining corresponding recognition, bypassing the original barrier, and Extraordinary characteristics merge with itself."

"In other words, I want to play the role of a 'hunter' and go up to the mountains to hunt every day?" Lumian entered the lecture state.

The lady shook her head:

"This is the most superficial performance. We not only have to understand the superficial meaning of the sequence name, but also explore its deeper meaning. For example, the city is also a jungle, and everyone is both prey and hunter."

I'm familiar with this... Lumian has long understood the deeper meaning of "Hunter".

This mainly comes from his past wandering life.

"Then how can you be sure that you have digested the magic potion and can advance to the next level?" He couldn't help but ask.

The lady smiled:

"You can feel it when the potion is actually digested."

Well... Lumian did not continue this topic and asked doubtfully:

"Who came up with the names for the different sequences?"

Why can the potion be digested by following their actions?

The lady's expression became serious:

"The earliest sequence division comes from the remnants of the split of the original Creator, which is a stone tablet filled with mystical knowledge.

"It is called the Blasphemous Tablet because it involves the secret of becoming a god.

"In the ancient times, that is, at the end of the Second Era and throughout the Third Era, there appeared a powerful god who was close to the original Creator, called the Ancient Sun God. After his death, a second blasphemous tablet was born from his remains. All current sequence names and potion recipes come from above."

The history of the Second and Third Ages that I studied was not like this... Lumian muttered in his mind.

The lady continued:

"When Emperor Russell was still alive, he made a deck of blasphemy cards based on the Major Arcana card of the Tarot with reference to the second Blasphemy Tablet. There were twenty-two cards in it, each one containing A divine path."

"Is Emperor Russell also an extraordinary person?" Lumian was shocked.

As an ordinary Intis person, it was difficult for him not to have a certain amount of admiration for Emperor Russell.

"What if?" The lady laughed.

Lumian asked:

"Is he powerful?"

"Close to the gods." The woman said simply.

so smart? Lumian was surprised and felt that it should be the case.

He thought for a moment and said:

"Then the diary left by Emperor Russell is very precious, isn't it?"

The lady nodded:

"Yes, but there are very few people who can decipher that kind of strange writing."

Aurore seems to have collected some diary transcripts of Emperor Russell, and she seems to be able to decipher...part of her power comes from here? Lumian fell into deep thought.
