Xiaobai: "I am neither of them! I am a wolf, a wolf!"

At this time, the result of the spell cast by the first staff has already occurred.

Wang carefully observed the image formed by magic and shook his head: "It's not the energy system. This device is not maintained by force field spells."

He picked up the second staff and poured magic power into it again, activating the spell sealed in the staff.

Then a new image emerged.

Wang looked at the image and said, "It's not a spell system either. These circles are not created by spells of the spell system."

Xiaobai: "Why do you think this is a spell?"

Wang: "Because many things created by the conjuration system can fly, just like this thing... I mean, these things are the same."

Xiaobai: "Why can it fly?"

Wang: "The best thing about the conjuration system is to create things out of thin air. If they can create things out of thin air, it's not surprising that the created things can fly. And in the magic system, flying is not a rare attribute. After all, the level of flying is not high. The first-level Feather Fall can actually be indirectly regarded as a degraded flying spell."

Xiao Bai: "You said a lot, but I didn't understand. Should I act like I understand?"

The king shrugged and picked up the third staff.

Xiaobai: "What is this detecting?"

Wang: "Necromancy spells. After all, there are many flying things among the high-level undead, such as lightning skulls and the like."

Xiao Bai stared at the rings floating around the light ball with wide eyes: "This thing looks very different from a skull, doesn't it?"

"I'm just giving you an example of how many flying things there are among the undead."

As he spoke, he activated the staff and cast magic.

"No, it's not necromancy. Aren't these things moving around the ball of light under the influence of magic?"

Xiaobai: "Why not try the prophecy system?"

King: "The prophecy department doesn't have any spells that can achieve this effect. Let's try the illusion department."

"Are you sure you didn't have this idea because you solved a huge illusion puzzle in Monrovia?" Xiaobai teased.

"It's destiny anchoring, not some illusion!" one of the three old men who were watching the crystal ball excitedly said loudly, "When will they know the true nature of that legendary magic?"

Wang's teacher shook his head. "With his wooden head, if he could understand the essence of that magic, with his way of thinking, he might create an incredible magic - or an accident. In fact, I can never tell the difference between the two."

The third old man was about to speak, but suddenly forgot what he was going to say. He could only look down at the memory crystal he carried with him - the crystal would automatically back up what he had been thinking about for the previous four minutes.

"Oh," the old man said, remembering what he was going to say, "So, what kind of magic does this ball of light use to achieve this?"

"Gravity," Wang's teacher said, "To be more precise, it's gravitational force. I suspect that the human empire in the Second Age was interfered with by a planeswalker. He is very cunning. Whenever I go back in time, he will dodge. Moreover, he has a very powerful ability to incorporate every change I make into the timeline intactly."

The first old man who spoke, Wang's uncle, said, "Are you sure that's not the timeline correction shear force?"

The timeline always tends to return to its original state. For example, the planeswalkers destroyed the demon king who would destroy the world, but a new disaster appeared, and the result was still that the plane was severely damaged.

On the other hand, even if the hero who is destined to save the world is suppressed to death, other heroes will emerge.

As for who created the original timeline, no one knows.

Wang's teacher refuted Wang's uncle bluntly: "That must be the other party's ability. How could I make such a mistake!"

"How is that impossible? You made a mistake last time, and…"

Seeing that the two old men were about to quarrel, Wang's junior uncle spoke up: "So what would happen if Wang understood the true meaning of 'Fate Anchor'?"

The two old men who were about to start fighting stopped when they heard this.

As the oldest of the three, Wang's teacher said: "Who knows? Fate Anchor is a kind of magic that ensures a single timeline, or at least ensures that specific people or things will not be involved in various branches on the timeline.

"It can also be seen as ensuring the constancy of the fate of people or things. The tower of Minos is destined to be cracked only by the king of destiny, so no one has been able to shake it for thousands of years.

"Even if the king just sneezes, it is possible that the entire tower will be 'blown away'. The question does not exist in the first place. The questioner just wants a specific person to answer the question correctly.

“As the saying goes, the absence of an answer is also an answer, this is what is meant by this situation.

"As for why it is arranged this way, how do I know? Maybe this is a Möbius strip. One day in the future, the Heavenly King becomes a planeswalker, separated from all timelines, and can no longer be directly observed by us. Then he returns to a certain point in time in Gralia and leaves this mystery behind - this situation also exists."

Wang's uncle teased, "Old ghost, you don't think that because you've said a lot of long speeches, we won't be able to tell that you actually said nothing, right?"

Wang's teacher shrugged: "'The absence of an answer is also an answer.'"

The third old man suddenly said: "Perhaps after Wang understands the essence of fate anchoring, he will be able to see through the essence of each timeline and the operating mechanism behind the single timeline called fate, and then break through the starting point and end point that we have never broken through."

The other two planeswalkers fell silent upon hearing this.

Having broken away from the timeline and become eternal planeswalkers, they can enter any timeline at will and thus achieve "plane crossing".

That's right, the truth about plane crossing is actually just cutting into the timeline of a certain plane - or it's easier to understand by metaphor. The timeline is like a huge scroll that depicts everything in the plane according to time, and the planeswalker is an independent painter outside the scroll, who draws a representative image of himself in the scroll.

So, the planeswalker crossed the barrier of space and entered this plane.

However, every painting has a beginning and an end.

The planeswalkers who have embraced eternity can never cross this starting point and end point.

It is like a long corridor with countless scrolls displayed in it. The mages can walk around the corridor at will and add people to the scrolls at will.

However, the corridor has dead ends at both ends, and the planeswalkers cannot enter.

The three planeswalkers looking at the crystal ball at this moment built this mage tower with the goal of pursuing the ultimate truth of this corridor. They believed that as long as they mastered this truth, they could break through the shackles of the corridor.

However, so many years have passed - no, for the eternal mages, time is meaningless. For them, time is equivalent to their own memories, and there is no other standard to measure it.

So it should be said that "after accumulating so many memories", they still gained nothing.

It was unknown when the three founders and other planeswalkers in the tower began to self-deprecatingly call themselves "eternal prisoners."

Then one day many years ago, the chief wizard in the tower, who was also the king's teacher, discovered a child. That was the beginning of everything.

The Chief Archmage broke the sudden silence: "He is the Child of Destiny, let's wait and see. Now maybe he can find clues about the unknown planeswalker who fought with me back then."

The Second Archmage of the Mage Tower joked: "What, you are going to chase this clue and cut into the human empire of the second era to have a big fight with that guy? Stop it, in the timeline, the planeswalker is It cannot be destroyed. But if the planeswalker does not cut himself into a certain timeline, he cannot be observed, and he is his only observer."

So there is no record of one planeswalker destroying another planeswalker.

The chief wizard sighed and said, "No, I just want to have a chat with him and play chess. If I win, it's my win!"

Chapter 245 Unexpected Visitor

The Child of Destiny, also known as the King, could not hear the conversation between his teacher and uncle at this time. He tried a whole roll of detection spell wands, but still couldn't figure out why these rings were rotating around the ball of light.

Xiao Bai suggested: "Why don't we just forget about it and use your invincible dimensional bag to collect the ball. I remember that your dimensional bag can suck everything in like a dragon inhaling air?"

Wang: "No, the dimensional bag has many restrictions, such as not being able to take living things in it. Also, it cannot take gravity anomalies... eh?"

Xiaobai: "What's wrong?"

Wang: "Let me ask you a question. The plane of Gralia should be an idealistic plane, right?"

"I don't even know what idealism is." Xiaobai blinked, "I'm stupid, you have to explain it to me."

Wang: "It's just that... the extraordinary phenomena in the plane are basically caused by magic."

Xiaobai: "We still have magic."

Wang: "Yes, divine arts, magic, and Master Li Guang's aura, these are all idealistic things, and their characteristic is that they can use people's thoughts to interfere with reality."

"What does it mean to interfere with reality with human thoughts?" Xiaobai asked a simple question.

The king thought for a moment and said, “For example, there are three monks who see a flag fluttering in the wind. The first monk says that it is the wind that is moving, the second monk says that it is the flag that is moving, and the third monk says that it is our mind—that is, our cognition—that is moving.

“The third one is idealism.”

Xiao Bai: "Is the third one stupid? Of course it's the wind that blows the flag."

Wang: "I just used this intuitive example to illustrate what idealism is... Never mind, it's my fault for asking you."

"That's it."

The king thought about it and said to himself, "This world should be idealistic. The core of the iron giant created by the dwarves is also idealistic. So... how is it possible?"

Xiaobai: "From your expression, I know you have guessed what this thing is, but you just can't believe it would appear in this world."

Wang: "Yes. If nothing unexpected happens, this thing is a gravity core, a technology that only very advanced civilizations on the materialistic side can master. And even very advanced materialistic civilizations rarely make such a small gravity core."

Xiao Bai: "Let me summarize. Your main point is that this thing shouldn't appear in our plane, right?"

Wang: "Yes. I've read my teacher's Gralia Fengwuzhi very well. Materialistic things have a characteristic, which is that they can't exist alone. If a cutting-edge technology can produce a product, other disciplines must have developed to a certain extent, and there must be a complete industrial foundation, otherwise it can't be produced.

"Moreover, before the development of science and technology reaches a certain stage, it is demand that guides the development of technology. For example, in many planes, the demand for mining gave rise to better explosives. In order to transport the ore faster, boilers and rail cars were created. In order to gain an advantage in war, gunpowder and firearms were constantly improved.

"And there is a counterexample in Gralia: In Gralia, the dwarves and gnomes did not develop true gunpowder and explosives technology because of the existence of alchemy. Because there was no demand. Because the regular army was generally equipped with various scrolls, there was no need for firearms, so your plane did not develop firearms either."

Xiaobai: "What do you want to express by saying so much?"

"What I want to express is that if Gralia had such a developed materialistic - or scientific civilization, it would definitely pay homage to the demand-driven stage and would definitely develop many prerequisite products first. It would not be possible to have only one product of the most advanced technology." Wang looked at the ball of light surrounded by various rotating rings.

"This thing might have been brought from another dimension. Do you remember the story Li Guang told? Because of an outsider, their tribe completely changed their way of life. They gave up the ancestral laws of thousands of years and not only settled down, but also produced very difficult-to-swallow food to supplement their nutrition..."

Xiaobai: "You clearly said that thing was delicious!"

Wang: "It's delicious, but the smell is unbearable. It doesn't matter, quiet! Listen to me! Maybe there is an outsider who brought unique technology to the civilization of the First Age-"

Suddenly, Wang slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Damn it, I forgot! This giant is originally a colonization machine from another dimension! So it is only natural for him to use technology that this dimension does not have!"

Xiao Bai: "Hey! So that's what's going on! You just said a lot of things that confused me! Do you know how to take this thing off and use it for us?"

Wang: "I don't know. The gravitational field shouldn't be able to repel approaching objects so strongly. The layer of things on the outside that protects itself is not the same thing as the core itself.

"In other words, it's possible to cut off the protection on the outside without shutting down the core."

As he spoke, Wang began to pace around the room, taking out a broom from his dimensional bag and sweeping the dust on the floor from time to time.

Xiaobai: "You...are you looking for something?"

"Yes, look for something. There should be something to control the closure of the outer protective layer. After all, this core is unlikely to be kept here forever. There must be a backdoor or something for transferring the core."

Xiao Bai: "You want to find the backdoor to control this thing?"

Wang: "I'm just giving it a try. After all, Nerenis and his followers were not in the plan of the people who sent these colony machines. In order for the colony machines to operate properly, the home planet of the colony machines may have left some maintenance doors or something like that."

The king said as he swept away a large amount of dust.

Xiaobai: "But, the colony machine's companion is also a giant, right? How can two giants repair each other? Can they turn into the size of ordinary humans and come in through the entrance?"
