The mage arrives

"The power of destiny, to put it bluntly, is to rely on the control and use of the source energy to deduce and calculate a person's future. Then, from the results that are as numerous as stars, choose the one that is most likely to be achieved. This process , For me at the time, it was not a very difficult thing. But the key point is that to predict a person's fate, or even change it, requires an extremely large source of energy."

Asa Augustus slightly closed his eyelids, paused, and then spoke again: "Some spells from the School of Prophecy can actually control the power of fate. For example, the early warning spell can make the subject suffer from a sudden attack. Get a timely warning to avoid danger. This spell is actually predicting the fate of the subject in the next few seconds. But just predicting the future as short as one breath time, the arcane energy consumed is already It's huge. That's why Forewarning is a ring spell."

It takes such a huge amount of energy to predict the fate just a few seconds later.So how much energy is needed to predict or even control the fate of a person's life?

What's more, what His Majesty the Elemental Emperor wants to become is the God of Destiny, a great being who holds the priesthood of fate and can predict, change, and control the fate of all creatures in this multiverse.

"This is impossible." Asa Augustus shook his head, "After calculation, I found that even if all the source energy of the entire main material world and other known planes were collected, the Every plant, every stone, and every drop of water are all transformed into source energy, and all of them are used. It is also impossible to achieve the set goal. Although I have the ability to predict and change the fate of a person, or a few people, it is far from God of Destiny. Priesthood. Far from it. So when I discovered this reality, I stopped my research."

No matter how genius an idea is, no matter how impeccable a theory is, it has to be based on this material world.Because of the limitations of objective conditions, Asa Augustus knew that he would never be able to become the God of Destiny.

In other words, no one can become the so-called God of Destiny.

"Since there is no way to become the God of Destiny, then forget it. I'm not someone who likes to stick to the horns." After talking about this slightly heavy history of failure, Asa Augustus' face became lighter, "And the other The position of a god. I am not interested either. Because there are too many restrictions to become a god, it is far less easy than being a mortal."

For ordinary people, becoming a god has two advantages.

one.A tremendous strength.

Second.Infinite lifespan.There is no aging unless you die unexpectedly.

The problem is that these two benefits are infinitely attractive to ordinary people, but they are not attractive to His Majesty the Emperor of Elements.

A tremendous strength?He already has it.Would a great Nesser arcanist capable of slaughtering gods envy the power of the so-called gods?

Infinite lifespan?He already has it too.

Counting from the birth to the destruction of the Netherdulan magic empire, the veritable No. 1 great arcanist, Asa Augustus, has his own life extension.The secret to staying youthful.For him, time is no longer something to cherish.Untradeable luxury.

Other grand arcanists of the empire may not be as amazing and brilliant as the elemental emperor, and have their own secrets of longevity, but Iolum—another great arcanist who may be second only to Asa Augustus, invented A legendary spell called Iolum Immortality can extend the lifespan of arcanists.Although the requirements of this spell are extremely demanding, it basically has no side effects, and it soon became popular among great arcanists.

As for transforming a lich, at that time, it belonged to a third-rate mage with no talent or strength, and it was a low-level method that he had to do in order to prolong his life.

Instead of sitting on the throne of God of Destiny created by himself, but becoming other gods, not only is there no benefit to His Majesty the Emperor of Elements, but it will also increase many constraints for no reason.

"Young man, do you know what a god is? Do you know why I dismiss the identity of 'god'?"

Gordon knew that the other party asked such a question out of intention to test himself.However, this kind of purely theoretical problem is not difficult for him who is familiar with the entire "Ancient Era" game setting.

"Gods have two sides. We can regard them as powerful immortal mortals who have mastered the power of laws. We can also regard them as concrete individuals personified by the power of laws."

"Exactly. God is actually a complex of half law and half personality."

Gordon continued: "It is precisely because of this special existence that gods often have their own limitations. Before a mortal becomes a god, he is absolutely free. He may be bound by social moral laws, but if he wants to It is not impossible to break these shackles. At most, it is only a matter of ability, not an essential rule restriction.

For example, an aristocratic guard who believed in Erasis and established a lawful camp wanted to kill the master he was loyal to, seize his family property and wealth, and then switch to Bane, the god of tyranny.Then the problem facing this noble guard is whether it can be done, not whether it can be done.

But if Mirett, the god of conquest and war, suddenly had a whim, saying that I don't want to start another war and let people suffer.I want to spread peace and love, and resolve the conflicts of swords and soldiers in the world.Then the problem he faces is not whether his ability is enough to complete this task, but whether he can't do it at all.

Because of his priesthood, the laws he mastered, and the throne under his buttocks, all bound him so that he could not act at will.

"It is precisely because of this limitation of the gods that in history, mortals have been able to use this reading to deceive, use, and even defeat the gods."

Gordon continued to speak slowly about his knowledge of the gods: "It is true that the gods are extremely happy and intelligent beings. In terms of wisdom, experience, and insight, few mortals can match the gods. But because Gods and laws are deeply integrated, so their thinking methods, logical models, moral principles, and behavioral styles can all be traced. When you meet Meridia, the goddess of dawn, as long as you are not bad enough to bleed pus, you are not undead, Then most likely you will not be in danger. And if you sincerely ask the goddess, she may help you save people and cure diseases. But if you meet Zehir, then you must always beware of this guy who poisons and kills gone."

Gordon talked eloquently, and Asa Augustus was once again surprised by the profound knowledge of the young man in front of him.It is difficult to find a mage who knows such a deep knowledge of gods, even among those old men with white beards.Being able to recognize and understand the essence of the gods and the source of their power - the power of law, is much more difficult than learning a few ring spells.

It is precisely because he has such a clear understanding of the nature of gods that Gordon never had the idea of ​​becoming a god.But now he is just a super mage, and he is still trying to congeal his real name, and it seems too far to think about this kind of problem.

"Well, the topic seems to have gone a little far." Asa Augustus put an end to the discussion about the gods.He said, "I found that the power of fate is uncontrollable. When I decided to give up, it was exactly 20 years ago. That year was called the year of star bleakness by astrologers."

Of course Gordon remembered the famous Year of Darkness.Because that year happened to be the year when the owner of his body was born.

As for the reason why astrologers named this year "Star Darkness", it was because on a summer night, all the stars on the sky suddenly became dim and almost disappeared.This phenomenon lasted for a total of two hours, which shocked all the astrologers in the main material world, and even some impatient third-rate astrologers published a lot of "planar collapse, The end-time prophecy of the imminent destruction of the multiverse.

Of course, these people have all been slapped in the face by reality now.

"It's me who scares those astrologers into a tizzy." His Majesty the Elemental Emperor pointed at himself, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You have dimmed all the stars in the sky, why?"

"No. My purpose is not such a boring thing. The star dim phenomenon is just a side effect when I was conducting an experiment." He explained, "Although I have given up my plan to become the God of Destiny, However, as a mage who adheres to the principle of 'beginning and ending', I still decided to complete the fourth experiment. After all, knowing the law of change of the pure power of destiny is also very helpful for my other research."

"I'm the fourth subject, right?"

"Speaking of this, I think you have guessed it a long time ago with your cleverness. But the result is not important, but some details, which may be helpful to you."

The fourth experimental subject chosen by Asa Augustus was not a naturally born intelligent creature, nor was it a ready-made life made directly by magic.He created a seed of life and implanted it in an ordinary female mage chosen at random.This process is similar to artificial insemination, except that the life seed created by Asa Augustus has nothing to do with his own blood.

Gordon felt very lucky.If my body looks like this fat young man in front of me, it will be very sad.At least when chasing girls, it will be a little more difficult for no reason because of appearance problems.

"The female mage you chose should be my mother in name. But how to solve the problem of the soul? The soul of the baby born from my mother's womb still belongs to the aborigines of this world, and will be subject to the power of its own destiny. interference."

"You are right. So I need a soul from the outer world—the farther the better, preferably another crystal wall system soul, to implant the life seed. That soul is you." (To be continued continued..)
