"Knowledge, strength, authority, faith, wealth, dexterity, perception, and mystery. These eight powers have their own ways to train themselves. And this is the power to command all things in the world. If someone has more, naturally others will The less people occupy it. So in my era, killings for this purpose often happened. So in most cases, no one will teach them their methods completely. Even if they accept apprentices, they may just want to get them. It’s just used as experimental materials or to handle some chores. If apprentices want to learn truly untransmitted knowledge, they can only learn it with their own eyes and don’t expect others to teach them.──”
Seeing the disappointed expressions of the three people in front of him, Fen felt amused and continued: "──But I have told you my method a long time ago. And you should have confirmed it with your eyes, but you just didn't realize it. That’s all.”
"Oh, yeah. What is that?"
"My bones are forged. Or do you think I do such things only when I have enough to eat and have some leisure time?"
Sister, is that kind of thing something ordinary people like us can do? Take it apart, carve it into a magic circle and put it back together. If you want to modify a doll or model, I have a lot of tips to discuss with you. But today we have to tear apart our own bones. Is this something a human being can do?
However, as soon as Lin's thoughts changed, he immediately thought of the crux and said: "You will not be an immortal lich as soon as you are born. What method did you use before that? Is it suitable for us now?"
Fen looked at the three masters and apprentices who were vaguely standing on the same side, feeling slightly amused. But she still said: "What is the method? Everyone has a method that suits everyone. It is difficult for me to tell you directly. But I can tell you the direction and let you think about it yourself. What kind of method should you use?" exercise."
Knowledge, as it sounds. If you have to explain too much, then you are really not suitable to be a magician...
Strength, for the same reason.
Authority, the external explanation is like the secular definition. But it has another internal explanation, which is the degree of control and understanding of oneself.
Faith here does not refer to the degree of superstition in a certain god, but the degree of firm implementation of a certain personality trait. So the good ones are better and the evil ones are worse. It was difficult for people like hypocrites and duplicities to reach a certain height in the era when Fen grew up. Of course, there are people who regard the behavior of hypocrites as beliefs and achieve success.
Wealth, in addition to external money and belongings, also includes factors such as one's own physical health, endurance, physical strength, etc.
Dexterity, without skillful hands, the thief's skillful hands are empty, or the ten-stage accelerator and other skills, let alone how much achievements he has made in this regard. On the other hand, flexible changes in thoughts, the ability to associate with a wide range of things, or to draw inferences from one instance to another, can also be counted here.
Perception, in addition to the ability to detect the environment and atmosphere, also requires the ability to infer the factors behind it. And it's not just about some cold facts, but also about feeling the changes in people's thoughts. To put it simply, in addition to being able to talk like a certain comic and talk eloquently with a sip of red wine, you also need to have the insight and reasoning ability of Detective Sherlock Holmes to be considered a small achievement.
Mystery, the curiosity to explore all unknown things, or the elusiveness of hiding oneself among many secrets. More importantly, always keep unknown means or abilities that have not revealed their limits.
The exercises and practices based on these eight directions are the methods of accumulating one's own 'power' in Fen's era. This path goes to the extreme, which is to elevate oneself to another level of life, a transcendent, and then... a god.
correct! It's the gods.
It turned out that after his resurrection, Fen was puzzled and confused about the gods that still existed in the Lost World. Because in her era, all those gods fell, and no god escaped, so her era was also called the Dark Age.
After hearing that there were gods in the world, the newly resurrected elder sister almost returned to the great cause of killing gods. Later it was discovered that none of those little gods knew each other, which meant that these gods only ignited the divine fire and achieved godhood after their own death. Since there is no hatred, she will not engage in any revenge to kill the gods.
As for Lin, he had questioned whether there would be ancient gods who could survive and change their names to become new gods. Fen's explanation is very clear. Even if he just changes his name, it is equivalent to dying and living again. He is already a different existence. There is no grudge anyway, so of course the word revenge is meaningless.
As for a certain lich's deep grudge against the ancient god, let's put it aside for now. After listening to the practice methods of the eight powers, what do Lin think?
Once, he thought he had traveled to a magical world.
Now, he realized that what he traveled through was actually the world on the cultivation side...
This gap made him want to shout: Where are the purple and green swords? Where is Shushan? I want to join the Emei sect and hug my thighs.
Compared with the two young apprentices, they thought hard and discussed how they could find ways to move forward on these eight paths. Lin Ze's face was ashen and he was lying in the corner of the carriage.
The complexity of this world is far beyond your imagination. Of course the danger is the same. And most importantly, there is no soil in which otakus can survive. He hadn't even started farming and fighting for hegemony yet, but he was trapped in a tower and was kicked out, facing a precarious life.
However, the different behaviors of the two groups made Fen who was watching amused. With a bit of a smile, she said: "Actually, I didn't want to tell you this originally. You know what made me change my mind."
Harumi burst out with words such as "Because I'm cute!" and "Onee-sama likes us the most!" and so on, which are so innocent that you can't help but laugh at them. Kaya was also there, talking to each other every now and then. Fen didn't deny it, just rubbed their little heads lovingly. Then someone's bad habit messed up their hair.
Lin seemed to be heartbroken and said feebly: "You just want to play a prank. Look at my desperate expression."
"Your expression is wonderful, but I'm not saying this just for this kind of thing."
"Oh." Lin still looked dead.
This made Fen feel angry and funny, and said: "Didn't I say it before, power is the qualification to command all things in the world. And the level of this qualification is that the more you know and master, the more you can possess. Great power. And I have also said that after you have mastered a certain level of power, if you want to go further, you can only plunder the parts that others have. So in my era, killing people and fighting for this matter , is a very common thing.”
"So?" A certain man still looked like a dead man.
"You don't realize that you have an advantage that others don't have. And it's a huge advantage that you can't touch or even think of."
"There's no such thing as...playing..." Although he retorted, Lin could taste it a little bit. What are your unique advantages that others can’t even think of? That is of course everything on earth. Earth's humanities and history, Earth's art and culture, Earth's scientific knowledge, Earth's animation and movies, just take them and bring them to the Lost Land, they are all unique, unless there are other people who are time-traversers like you.
Fen continued: "When you hum those songs in the language of your hometown, you are vaguely stimulating the power that truly belongs to power. I saw this, and I will tell you this."
"Is this okay? It's not because I sang too badly that it caused dissatisfaction and commotion among those powers."
"Hey, you are self-aware. But the signs I saw are not wrong. The only thing you have to think about is how to acquire the entire world without the power of anyone to get involved, so as to obtain the qualifications to give orders. . If you can’t do it, then everything is in vain. You are still the same person you are now.”
Listening to these encouraging words, Lin was relieved of his depression, but he became confused. What do you need to do to gain control over the world? How to train yourself so that you can move forward on the path of cultivation...oh, no, magic. There are no answers to these questions.
So during the rest of the journey, Lin also frowned, but the reason behind it was different.
Originally he was worried about his life, which made him frown all day long. Now it was an unsolvable problem that made him look sad all day long.
But as the saying goes on Earth: It’s not important to get the right answers, it’s important to ask the right questions.
Now that we have the right question and the right direction, the next answer can be figured out even by trial and error.
It wasn't like he hadn't thought about it and continued to ask Fen more in-depth. But a certain lich who lived in the old era said that there is no normal method for these roads. Only by overcoming obstacles and creating your own path can you go further.
Then someone becomes more and more confused.
When he woke up from his situation, Lin couldn't help but admire Fen. This can be regarded as a successful shift in their focus. Not only did they not let themselves continue to feel sorry for themselves and hate the world, but they also gained some peace and quiet.
The two girls don't have that much burden. To them, it's all something they don't know anyway. With their accumulation of knowledge, it is impossible for them to figure out the reason just by thinking on their own. So they openly pestered the lich and former devil king, asking about everything they didn't know. Use it as nourishment for progress, constantly revise and move forward.
As for Fen, apart from occasionally guiding the two girls on questions that were so simple that she sometimes didn't know how to explain them; and appreciating someone's depressed expression, she just competed with the 'Shou Coffin'.
Because he no longer had an energy pool and could no longer squander it, Fen paid extra attention and caution when designing the program. Most functions are temporarily closed on the initiative. This is also done to protect the rare purple-level magic stone.
After all, when writing a program, who has never encountered a situation where the program crashes or the loop cannot be completed? On Earth, the most you can do is force a reboot. In the Lost Land, Lin also exploded a lot of red magic stones for this purpose. Neither he nor Fen wanted to try the rare ones that could not be bought with money to see if the purple ones were harder and would not explode. . But it feels like the purple one will be more bold.
