Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 174 Change is also part of evolution
"The soul never ages. Naturally, no matter how time passes or what kind of setbacks one experiences, one will not become desolate or have suicidal thoughts," Roger gave a simple description.

"In other words, what you want is a heart that is extremely 'tough' and 'strong'."

"You could say that." Roger nodded.

"Then there must be something wrong with your path," Nicolas Flamel affirmed.

Then he began to explain: "You use the time plague technique to connect the past and the present, interacting your power and thoughts to a certain extent, so as to protect yourself from the attack of the timeline. There is nothing wrong with this."

"But I don't think it's feasible to use it as a multifaceted mirror standing in time and space to reflect yourself and anchor yourself."

"I may say some unpleasant words next, I hope you don't mind." Nicolas Flamel gave Roger a shot of prevention.

"...Please go ahead." Although Roger is very strong in magic, he never thinks that he is the smartest person. He believes that his thinking is ultimately limited by his own experience and way of thinking, and it is normal to have loopholes.

That's why he plans to promote a series of things such as virtual reality, second magic, three-dimensional law, etc., using sentient beings to make up for his own shortcomings.

"Roger, you are not very old. Even though you have experienced many people's lives, your frequent experiences of swallowing them whole may make you subconsciously ignore this point."

"People have different ideas at different stages of their lives. This is a normal part and a norm."

"When you are young, you only want to drink milk and excrete. When you get older, you want to defecate more. Youth, adulthood, middle age, old age..."

"You may think that only young people have the healthiest mentality, and that the thinking of middle-aged and elderly people is decadent."

"But... no matter what age a person is, as long as he is not obsessed with himself to the point of mental disorder, it is not 'wrong'!"

At this point, Nicolas Flamel changed the subject: "Let's not go too far, let's take yourself as an example."

"Your mentality before the war in the Middle East, your mentality during the war, your mentality when you were imprisoned and tried in the UK, your mentality when you came into contact with magic, and your mentality after achieving success on the path of magic are all different."

"Do you think there is a difference between the two?"

"If so, which one is higher or lower?"

Roger opened his mouth: "I..."

Nicolas Flamel waved his hand, interrupting Roger's answer.

"You don't have to tell me which one is higher and which one is lower. It doesn't matter at all."

"What matters is."

"A change in mentality is also part of development. Maybe it's better now, or maybe it was better in the past."

"But you used the Time Plague to anchor yourself in your past body, which in itself limits the development of your spiritual path."

"Part of the discomfort you are experiencing now is the erosion of your mind by the emotions of the phantoms in history."

"And the other part, I think, is probably..."

"Your mind spontaneously wanted to enter the next state of mind, but it was forcibly terminated by your time anchoring magic, and the backlash occurred!" Nicolas Flamel said seriously.

“If you really want to achieve your dream of spiritual immortality, you must learn to accept changes in your mentality.”

"Just like what you said."

'Everything is easy, except the easy'

An ageless mind is not one that does not change, but a mind that is always fresh, always accepting new things, always moving forward, and growing!
Roger wanted to pass on some of the key technologies on his path to immortality to Nicolas Flamel, so he would naturally tell him some details.

So Nicolas Flamel knew that the past that Roger's time plague could trace back to was not very far.

What Roger called self-anchoring actually started after he achieved magic.

The time before he achieved the three-dimensional law was actually not included in the scope of his 'self-anchoring'!
"I think I understand what you mean." After listening to Nicolas Flamel's story, Roger's face darkened.

Although he did not agree with all of Nicolas Flamel's words, it was indeed a possibility.

If his path is wrong from the perspective of self-anchoring, then if he continues to stubbornly fight on the path of reincarnation, things will only get worse and worse.

"But if I don't use time and space magic to anchor myself, how can I spend billions of years and still ensure that I am still myself, instead of being lost in the minds of all living beings?"

This is not only about the reincarnation plan. Roger will also need to use the wisdom of all living beings to practice in the future. Even if he does not implement the reincarnation plan, he will still face this problem.

When a new problem is raised, it is often followed by a long list of more troublesome problems.

"To be able to maintain oneself while constantly moving forward..."

If Roger could do this, then he would have achieved spiritual immortality to a certain extent, and there would be no need to start the reincarnation plan.

This reminded Roger of a movie he had seen as a child in his previous life.

There is a funny scientist who invented a flashlight. As long as there is light shining on the flashlight, it will glow. Without light, the flashlight will not glow.

Roger faced a similar dilemma.

To put it in a more vivid way, it's like when your computer breaks down and you go online to search for ways to fix it, but because your computer is broken, you can't access the Internet...

Thinking about this, Roger began to wonder if there were any other magical solutions.

The computer can be sent to other offline masters for repair, but in the entire magical world, on the road to immortality, there is no one ahead of him.

You can also borrow other people’s computers or mobile phones to access the Internet.

other's……

"Belief?"

"wrong."

"The path of faith is essentially the same as my time and space anchoring, and it still limits my self-development."

"That……"

Roger began to think frantically.

At this time, Nicolas Flamel said: "Perhaps, you should not work in isolation."

It is always easier to ask a question than to solve it.

What Nicolas Flamel wanted to do was not only to raise the question, he also wanted to help Roger solve it.

"You should trace back your journey, everything you've been through."

"Maybe when you're done with this, you'll have your own answer."

"You said you wanted to find your true self through the reincarnation plan."

“But I think it’s better to reflect myself through all living things.”

"It's not wrong to reflect yourself."

"Your previous mistake was that you reflected too little."

"The only part of your time plague that is connected is your successful and successful part."

"There is no way you came here. The incomplete self-reflection will naturally cause a series of problems." Nicolas Flamel said.

“If you trace back your entire past and allow ‘change’ itself to become a part of you, perhaps some completely different and wonderful reactions will occur.”

"...Of course, what I offer is just a suggestion. You have to experiment step by step to see if it's right or wrong."
