Wizard's Journey

Chapter 168 Relative Boundaries

Chimeras originated from the unique magic of the most evil and extreme dark wizards in the wizarding world.

Exploring the mysteries of life and death, starting from the essential weaknesses of life forms, the ancient black wizards, after studying the art of killing to its extreme, gave birth to a kind of witchcraft that decomposes life according to the black wizard's will and ideas, and then, under specific conditions, intensifies, mutates, and recombines it in evil.

There are four conditions for the creation of a chimera.

First, a massive amount of activated life's flesh and blood is required; second, an activated heart that will never stop beating as long as it is not damaged; then comes the precise arrangement of the corpse-refining synthesis array and the continuous support of a large amount of energy; and finally, a natural elemental soul.

Four conditions are required, and none can be missing.

In some ways, chimeras are similar to Grimm's mutation technique. However, chimeras were created by ancient wizards who used brutal methods to forcibly combine originally repulsive living beings according to their own will, turning them into their own allies.

Green had his own concerns when he chose to trade this revitalized heart.

If, a hundred years from now, the alien world I conquer happens to have living organisms, then I can consider a plan to refine synthetic beasts to enhance my strength.

Since there were no energy research instruments available during the war, if Green didn't want to waste precious research time on external strength enhancement after returning to the wizarding world, it would be better for him to study other wizarding knowledge in the other world to enhance himself.

After tearing through the dimensional gap and storing his activated heart, Grimm glanced at the myna bird lying on a pile of magic stones and his secret stash of money in the distance, rolling around in a blissful pose...

Shaking his head, Green silently walked towards the alchemy laboratory.

At the center of the alchemy laboratory is a huge alchemy furnace, but it is of no use in refining the Surface of Truth. Therefore, after the enhanced version of the Grimm 1.0 Elemental Staff was refined, it has been idle for many years and has not been opened.

On the huge support tray of the test bench.

Under the infinite extensibility and inclusiveness of the alien marrow, Green stretched the small bottle of alien marrow he had collected into a thin, dense metal layer, and the alien marrow, under this extensibility, had spread to an area of ​​about eight square meters.

The sonic detection magic was something that Green had fully integrated into his memory after initially solidifying the alien marrow into the prototype of the original mask fifteen years ago.

However, the characteristic of ultrasonic magic lies in auditory perception, and the key to refining it into a magical artifact lies in the sonic positioning spiral rune technology developed by the Faceless Mask Wizard. After several years of thorough research, Grimm drew a dense set of spiral positioning runes on the mold extending from the Face of Truth, and the numerous spiral runes were interconnected, piecing together a spiral rune that covered the entire mask.

At the center of the entire gray-white mask is a purplish-gray spiral pattern.

In this way, Green finally managed to incorporate the ultrasonic perception magic into the prototype of the Face of Truth.

Based on the estimated area of ​​the Truth Face's alien marrow extension, Green's refining of this relatively low-level ultrasonic positioning magic consumed approximately one-fiftieth of its 'volume'.

The second type of wizarding knowledge that Green chose to refine into the Surface of Truth was the knowledge of the Eye of the End, which his mentor Peranos obtained from the Eye of the Bubble Frog.

With the Eye of the End, Grimm can perceive the Thunder Pattern of Broken Branches more quickly at relative speeds, thereby gaining some of its wondrous mysteries.

The difficulty in forging the Eye of the End into the Surface of Truth lies in the dense neural responses and elemental combinations in the eye's neural circuitry. If the Eye of the End were cultivated on a human body, it might be much simpler under the modification of mental power, since a wizard's thinking is almost identical to their mental power.

However, if one wants to simulate the manifestation of neurons on a magical artifact, one must use the knowledge of wizarding rules and runes to achieve this.

The amount of work involved also needs to be calculated in units of decades.

Furthermore, there are intricate element combinations involved in neuronal responses, which requires wizards to perform a great deal of actual calculations. Often, a small calculation error can trigger a domino effect, affecting the normal performance of the entire mask.

Therefore, even with the most perfect calculations, it would take Grimm over seventy years to successfully draw the Eye of Endless into the Face of Truth. And if we consider the inevitable errors that would occur under normal circumstances, then it would be an unknown time with no upper limit, or even a time when success would never be achieved.

I sat quietly in front of the lab bench and straightened my robe.

The purpose of drawing the rule runes that simulate neurons is not to manipulate the rules with magic circles, but to explore the subtle reactions between extremely small elements. It is a kind of knowledge that is close to the intersection of pharmacology and alchemy.

The calculations were already a huge undertaking, and with the subtle reactions between the elements, if Green wanted to draw it using the normal method, it would take at least twice as long. Therefore, as a last resort, Green spent more than twenty magic essences to purchase thirteen extremely precious bottles of magical ink.

There are two types of magic ink.

One type is a magical item concocted by a high-level wizard using his knowledge of potion-making, based on the wizard's elemental calculation rules; the other type is made by purifying and refining the blood of natural elemental life forms.

Each of the thirteen bottles of magical ink emitted different elemental energy attributes. After pondering for a while while drawing runes on the Eye of Darkness panel of the Face of Truth, Grimm picked up a special quill brush, dipped it in some dark elemental magical ink, and began to draw silently.

From time to time, Green also needs to change other elemental magic inks, which seems quite tedious.

While Heterogeneous Essence is considered one of the most advanced alchemical materials, boasting virtually unlimited ductility and compatibility, Green has indeed not discovered any particular energy response to it. However, in terms of ductility, it does have a relative upper limit.

This upper limit does not depend on the wizard's extension technology or the properties of the materials themselves, but rather on the rules governing the relative transformation of area and volume of matter and energy in the endless world.

All matter, by its very existence, will have a certain passive influence on the rules of the world. When its influence becomes too great, it will become part of the endless rules of the world itself, similar to a world guardian.

Generally speaking, the rules governing most of the world tend to be mild and stable.

However, if certain substances significantly influence the rules of the world, but are not strong enough to bear the influence of these rules, then the rules of the world become the most terrifying cutting tool, causing these substances to split into smaller ones.

Therefore, although the Alien Essence is said to have infinite extensibility, wizards can never truly extend it to the so-called infinite.

This is the knowledge of the endless rules of the world that a wizard observes from the smallest details; to the wisdom of ordinary beings, it seems utterly useless.

However, it is precisely this "useless" knowledge that, when magnified to a world and when the rules of the entire world are mobilized, becomes an unparalleled weapon for those world guardians to fight against powerful invaders from other worlds: the cutting of world rules!

Historically, more than half of the Stigmata Wizards and even the very few True Spirit Wizards who perished while conquering and developing other worlds did so for this reason.

Two hourglasses later.

Today was a relatively good day for Grimm's body during his mixed poison body refinement cycle. Instead of continuing his research as usual after leaving the alchemy laboratory, Grimm left the Demon Hunter Castle and flew towards the Tree of Life.

Just a month ago, Green's body naturally experienced a new sensation, as if he had touched some kind of wondrous, mysterious boundary.

This feeling is hard to describe. If Green had to describe it, it would be like this: if the world he once knew was a sheet of paper, he could simply fold it in half to distort and traverse the material world. But now, Green could vaguely sense the other side of that sheet of paper.

This other side is the shadow side of paper, the void world relative to the material world. Green could sense that the deepest level of Yunli's true talent was this wondrous feeling.

And this feeling is touching the relative boundary between the material world and the void world!

This relative boundary between the material world and the void world is not a natural boundary of the chaotic layer manifested by the material world.

Entering the void from the chaotic layer is like entering the shadow of a piece of paper through its edge, while entering the void from the relative limit is like a living being directly feeling itself on an invisible piece of paper, thus allowing its will to penetrate the paper and perceive the shadow side of the paper.

This is the relative boundary.
