On the third day after the war, a new round of wizard meeting was held in the royal capital.
There was no doubt that Lin En arrived on time again. He was the last one to arrive, but he immediately attracted the attention of all the congressmen.
After all, they all knew that this magic star had stepped beyond the legendary level and reached a whole new realm, a true god!
Thinking of this, Raphael and others inevitably became a little uneasy, but Lin En did not change his attitude because of the improvement of his life level. Except for replacing Harof and sitting in the main seat, everything was normal.
“Don’t be too restrained. I think you must have a lot of questions that you want answered... You can ask now.” Lynn glanced around and said bluntly.
Everyone present looked at each other, and a brave wizard was the first to ask, "Speaker Lin, I want to know what God is?"
“You can think of it as a life form of a higher dimension.” Lin En answered simply.
"Dimension?!" Raphael pondered for a while. Someone had mentioned this concept when introducing quantum theory before.
"Yes, the space we live in actually does not only have the three dimensions of length, width and height, but also has higher dimensions. All the matter and energy we see are just projections of higher dimensions." Lin En explained.
"Then how should we address you now..." a great wizard said hesitantly. "God of Wizards?"
When Lin En heard this question, she paused. She had never thought about this question before.
Based on his ministry, perhaps he can be called the God of Mathematics, the God of Mathematical Olympiads, or the God of Knowledge?
Lin En finally shook his head and said casually, "God is just a title. If you like, you can also call him a star wizard or a high-dimensional life form."
Wasn't Ella, who was just a legend at the beginning, also called a god by the people of the empire?
"Then do you need to rely on faith and believers to increase your power now?" Aurora asked solemnly. Both Ella and the Lord of the Undead have a large number of believers under their command.
"No, it's not necessary." Lin En shook his head. This is also the biggest difference between him and Ella and the Lord of the Undead.
The relationship between gods and believers is one of master and servant, with the former completely dominating the latter. However, Lin En does not like this. Not only may it lead to dissatisfaction and resistance, it may also easily stifle the creativity of believers and lack inclusiveness.
Therefore, gods often do not get along well with each other because of the conflict of faith regarding the source of power.
His magic network system is obviously much more gentle, adopting the concept of exchange, cooperation, and win-win, so he doesn't need to worry about the purity of faith, let alone the collapse of faith.
Chapter 563: Moon Landing Plan
In view of the fact that the wizards were very interested in this new realm, Lin En briefly described some of the characteristics of God and non-confidential information.
The entire wizard promotion system is now very clear.
Formal wizard - has a preliminary grasp of magic, can manipulate some elements, and promote simple chemical reactions.
Great Wizard - controls force fields, possesses domains, can control most elements, and complete complex chemical reactions.
Legendary Wizard——Completed the transformation from carbon-based life to energy life, able to control, decompose, and mimic all elements, and further expanded his own domain, which can cover an entire city at the extreme level!
It is obvious that all of this is to condense the godhood, descend into the divine realm, and prepare for becoming a god!
"Quantum, dimension, law..." Harof murmured the three key points of becoming a god in Lin's words, with a burning light flashing in his eyes.
Ever since they broke through to the legendary realm, they lost their direction for a while. What to do next and how to continue to improve have undoubtedly become the most important problems that have troubled them.
Now Lin En's description of the realm of God has undoubtedly become the best reference.
The other wizards were also discussing the issue, but they were still far from exploring the realm of God, so the most discussed issues were still about quantum theory.
Since Lin En has successfully made a breakthrough, it means that the microscopic theory of this magic star is absolutely correct.
It seems that the foundation of magic needs to be dismantled and rebuilt!
Even if they were unwilling to believe it, Jeffrey, Arad, Sanchez and others had to admit that the truth might really roll the dice. After all, the facts were right in front of them!
"By the way, what about the dragon you captured? Did you get anything out of it through torture?" Lin En suddenly thought of the skeleton dragon that was captured alive by the parliament, which was also one of the biggest gains of this war.
As a subordinate of the Lord of the Undead and a high-level Undead of legendary level, he should know a lot of information.
"That bone dragon is quite honest. It basically answers whatever we ask..." Vittorio replied with a shrug.
Probably realizing that the Lord of the Dead was dead, the Winter Dragon Varok was unexpectedly cowardly. Before it could use any means of interrogation, the other party surrendered directly, without any thought of resistance, and even expressed its willingness to abandon darkness and join the light and turn to believe in their God.
"Could this be a trap?" Aurora asked with a little concern.
Logically speaking, the other party should be a devout believer of the Lord of the Undead. How could he be so cooperative, surrender so easily, and be willing to change his beliefs?
"That shouldn't be possible." Vittorio said confidently.
[Winter Dragon] Varok said a lot of things, such as the way the Lord of the Dead creates "believers" is very direct, that is, through the ritual of killing living beings and transforming their bodies to leave marks in their souls, and use this deep connection to control the "believers".
"So those undead are not really loyal to the Lord of the Dead, but rather quite resentful towards him?" Aurora said in surprise.
“Not entirely. Low-level undead do not have the ability to resist the other party’s control, but many high-level undead are willing to be transformed into undead in order to gain more powerful strength.” Vittorio explained.
Upon hearing this, the wizards present were stunned. Giving up one's life and becoming a undead in pursuit of greater power can only be described as crazy.
However, Harof and others could understand that, strictly speaking, they were no longer human beings. Their bodies were merely mimicked by elements. On the surface, they were no different from other carbon-based creatures, but in fact, their inner life level had already transformed.
“Whether it’s true or not, I will look for it again to confirm it.” Lin En said simply. Without the protection of God, it was not difficult to search the memory of a legend with his own abilities.
"Apart from this, did the skull dragon say anything else? Was there anything about the main world?" Lin En asked again. This was what he cared about most.
"It's basically the same as what the Star Messenger said. The various gods in the main world added together probably exceed a hundred." Vittorio said solemnly.
The Lord of the Dead is not very strong among these gods. He is a god with medium divine power. After leaving the divine realm and coming to this world, he can probably only exert weak divine power.
Above this, there are powerful divine powers, great divine powers and main gods who can form a pantheon!
Lin En also frowned. Unlike the Moon Goddess Diana who voluntarily left the main world but died inexplicably here, the Lord of the Undead's domain is still in the main world. After its death, the domain will inevitably be divided and robbed. Perhaps new gods will notice this universe.
"Those gods are not a monolithic entity, and there is a possibility that they may split up!" Harof reminded.
The fall of the Lord of the Dead should be able to demonstrate some of their strength and prevent the gods of the main world from acting rashly. They may choose to cooperate with some of the gods and use one faction to fight against another!
"How is the Star Messenger? It should be surprised that you killed the Lord of the Undead, right?" Harof asked with a smile.
Since the God of Life and Creation has taken the initiative to send an envoy here, we can try to win him over.
"The crow is dead. To be more precise, it blew itself up." Lynn shook his head, interrupted Harov's fantasy, and roughly recounted the scene he saw when he used divine magic to go back in time.
Harov and his companions were all shocked, but soon they realized that something was wrong.
"It seems that this matter has something to do with Ella." Vittorio said with certainty.
After all, the opponent is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary in this battle. Before, the entire foreign land has been controlled by the Lord of the Undead, which is undoubtedly a huge threat to Ella who fled there.
And she is the only one who knows the locations of all the space-time gates!
Vittorio even suspected that the Lord of the Dead might have been deliberately lured here by the other party in order to retaliate against the Parliament for driving her out of this world.
Lin En also nodded, agreeing with Vittorio's guess, which was exactly what he thought.
"Speaker Lin, I wonder if you can locate the foreign land now and open the space-time gate leading to the two places like the Lord of the Undead?" Aurora asked thoughtfully. She was naturally very unhappy and angry because she was tricked by Ella.
If they could locate the foreign land, they could give the other party a few blows, such as throwing all the remaining nuclear weapons reserves of the parliament over there, so that Ella could experience the taste of nuclear baptism and feel better.
"I have some ideas about the construction of the space-time gate. It should be related to the quantum entanglement effect, but further experiments are needed." Lin En explained. "As for locating the alien world, I can't do anything."
If his soul was still there, perhaps he could find the coordinates of the foreign land through this spiritual connection, but it is no longer possible now.
"That's really a bargain for her!" Harof said helplessly. Since it was impossible to locate the foreign land, the matter of dealing with Ella could only be postponed.
Lin En shook his head, skipped the topic, turned to look at Raphael and others, and asked, "Have the remnants of the church and the empire made any moves these days?"
Although the entire continent has become a divine domain, its area is too large, and his mental power is limited, so he cannot take in everything.
Unless something big happens or someone calls his name, he will be able to sense it and project his consciousness over.
"In the past few days, there have indeed been many remnants of the church who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, but they obviously did not expect us to be able to resolve the invasion of foreign undead so quickly, so they have all been dealt with."
Raphael explained with a smile, then paused, his face became more serious, and spoke again. "Sirs, do you remember the native halfling captive who was imprisoned in the foreign land?"
"What happened to him?" Of course Lin En remembered this. When Raphael and others entered the foreign land through the space-time gate, they captured a prisoner. The psychic wizards extracted a lot of information from his brain.
Since the war against foreign lands has ended, and he is just a civilian with no ability to cast spells and cannot cause any trouble, the parliament is considering whether to release him after conducting ideological transformation.
"The wizard guarding him reported that this halfling captive has been performing routine prayers in recent days." Raphael said hesitantly.
"Isn't he a follower of Diana, the moon goddess? There's nothing strange about this, right?" Arad didn't care.
"It's not that simple." Raphael shook his head and looked at everyone present. "Do you feel that the moon is a little abnormal recently?"
The moon? All the wizards present were stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Raphael meant.
"According to observations by some wizards who study astronomy, the brightness of the moon has increased significantly in the past few days. It has also triggered very strong magical tides, which usually only happen on Sundays. And the situation is continuing to intensify," Raphael explained.
Lin En raised his eyebrows. He had been busy studying the laws of mathematics these days and had not paid attention to the changes in the brightness of the moon. As for the magic tide, Lin En certainly felt it, but he thought it was his antimatter cannon that shook the orbit of the Eternal Star, resulting in some consequences...
"Is it Ella?!" Harof immediately stood up from his seat. He did not forget that one of the names given to Ella by the church was the Goddess of the Moon.
When they attacked the holy city, there was even a strange sight of the sun and the moon appearing in the sky!
"It seems we need to go and see it in person!" Lin En thought for a moment and made the decision.
Chapter 564: This is not the moon, it is a dead god!
"So you are planning to fly to the moon to confirm it?" Vittorio looked at Lin En and said in surprise.
Harrov, Aurora and Anthony are also very interested in Lynn's moon landing plan.
At their current life level, they no longer need oxygen to maintain body functions and can survive even in a vacuum. However, so far, Harof and others have never actually left the Eternal Star under their feet, so they are all somewhat tempted.
"That's right!" Lin En nodded. The volume of the moon is very small compared to the Eternal Star. According to the estimates of some astronomical wizards, it is only about one-fiftieth of it. But for living beings, it is extremely huge, with a mass of hundreds of trillions of tons. It will also affect the tides, atmosphere, rotation and ecology of the Eternal Star.
If this satellite is controlled by the enemy, it would be like having a sword of Damocles floating above your head, and you will be under threat at all times.
However, how to get to the moon is something that requires careful planning. The departure time and route must be planned based on the rotation of the Eternal Star, the revolution of the moon, and their flight speed.
After all, the straight-line distance between the two planets is more than 200 kilometers. Even if the flight is at twice the speed of sound, it will take hours, or eight and a half days. If the route deviates in the middle, it is unknown how long it will take.
Lin En's speed was several times faster than Harov and the others. If he went alone, he could reach the destination within a day. However, Lin En did not reject everyone's interest. After some discussion, they quickly decided to set the departure time as tomorrow night.
After resolving the most urgent issues, the focus of the next meeting was on the future development and construction of the kingdom. After several years of major construction, the Magic Kingdom has begun to take shape.
The Parliament has built various infrastructures such as train stations, magic base stations and civilian academies in every major city. The next step is to continue expanding to towns and villages. It is estimated that it will take a total of ten years to complete the initial process of magicization of the kingdom.
This major project can also help alleviate poverty and promote the development of the commodity economy.
With the civilians working and the parliament paying their wages, each magic workshop can smoothly sell the various goods it produces, thus forming a positive cycle. As long as there is enough food and supplies, the entire kingdom can develop at a very fast pace.
