Chapter 609: Spiritual Resonance
A demi-plane can’t even be considered a particle on the four-dimensional level, because its interior cannot be called a complete cosmic system. But a sub-plane is different. A sub-plane is actually a true four-dimensional “particle.” When this particle in four dimensions unfolds in three dimensions, it is infinite.
When the Mythical Wizards twisted their own histories and created the fruit of the past that cycles infinitely in three dimensions, they had already taken the step of dimensional ascension.
Just like the very beginning when marine organisms evolved into terrestrial organisms—prehistoric fish evolving organs that allowed them to still breathe after leaving the water.
The Fruit of Immortality is that breathing organ, the initial step. And the sub-plane—the particle in the four-dimensional state—is the evolved limbs. Reaching this point, Level 5 existences possess the possibility of briefly surviving in four-dimensional space.
But this brevity is indeed very brief; once energy is exhausted, they will return to the three-dimensional state.
The sub-plane is also a three-dimensional anchor point at this time, allowing them to smoothly return to their original place rather than getting lost in turbulence.
Lucilu opened his eyes. He was in a void; everything in his demi-plane had returned to zero. This was an initial state where nothing existed.
Just as He was about to construct His initial inner universe, a message from Ace’s projection arrived.
“Pause the construction of the interior of your sub-planes! All Legendary Immortal Wizards immediately come to the Supreme Council Hall for a meeting! I have established contact with my true body and will announce the most cutting-edge results of the fundamental theories of High Tower Wizards to you, which concerns how to construct the interior of a sub-plane!”
“Please do not construct the interior of your sub-planes! Repeat, please do not construct the interior of your sub-planes! Head to the Council Hall immediately!”
…
The voice echoed continuously. Hearing this news, Lucilu stopped. Actually, He hadn’t yet figured out how to construct the inner universe of His sub-plane. He was attempting to research and summarize first. According to His preliminary speculation, if He wanted to create the basic spell models and manufacture the inner universe of a sub-plane, it would take at least a hundred years of exploration.
The newly advanced Legendary Immortal Wizards appeared one by one. They looked at Ace’s projection with some anxiety and anticipation. Some wizards had already keenly discovered that Ace’s projection was still powerful, its aura more mysterious and unpredictable than theirs, the newly advanced Legendary Immortal Wizards.
“Congratulations everyone. After breaking through the constraints of the Astral Plane layer, you naturally entered four-dimensional space-time and successfully advanced to Level 5 lifeforms. You can now call yourselves Immortal Legendary Immortal Wizards. But accurately speaking, you are only Quasi-Legendary Immortal Wizards, because you lack the Ninth Ring spell models that Legendary Immortal Wizards should possess.”
Ace said to everyone present with a smile.
The expressions of the crowd were not relaxed; their faces were serious, and They seemed to harbor deep anxiety.
Lucilu stood up directly, bowed deeply to Ace, and said: “Lord Ace, although we have advanced to Level 5 existences and achieved and understood three-dimensional immortality, as You said, we lack the necessary Ninth Ring spell models. If we start from scratch, I fear that even with a hundred years of hard work, it would be difficult to research enough Level 5 runes and construct a Ninth Ring spell model.”
Ace nodded, looking directly at Losilu, and said solemnly: “That is indeed the case. I have already achieved spiritual resonance with my true body. The true body has decided to provide a subsidy to all newly advanced Legendary Immortal Wizards, including technology. I, Ace, will subsidize everyone free of charge with the most cutting-edge theory of Magical Mechanics: General Relativity.
“As well as some Level 5 common law runes accumulated over more than two hundred years in the Level 4 Astral Plane layer that can be used to construct Ninth Ring spell models, plus sixteen selectable Ninth Ring spell models!
“You can obtain the introductions to the spell models and can exchange for two of them. Everyone is allowed to use exchange points to redeem them, and credit consumption is permitted.”
“Credit consumption?”
The Quasi-Legendary Immortal Wizards asked in confusion.
A smile appeared at the corners of Ace’s mouth, and He said softly: “Yes, credit consumption. Following the tradition of wizards: knowledge has a price, equivalent exchange. Regarding the extremely precious Ninth Ring Legendary Immortal Spell models, they are provided by Me, Betty, Bayen, Thales, and the other three Legendary Immortal Wizards—a total of sixteen Ninth Ring Legendary Immortal Spell models. This knowledge cannot be given away for free, but allows for your credit consumption.
“Simply put, you will sign a joint public vow with all members of the Supreme Council, thereby obtaining secret treasury exchange points collectively credited by the Supreme Council, exactly enough for you to exchange for one spell model. After using the credited exchange points, you need to pay them back in installments over a hundred years, without interest.
“As your credit improves, your credit limit can also be increased, but future credit consumption will incur interest. Briefly, that’s how it is.
“Come and sign.”
The wizards looked at each other. Finally, Lucilu gritted His teeth, stepped forward, and said: “Then I’ll sign first! There’s no time to hesitate.”
A golden scale formed of pure Divine Power Essence hung high, and a quaint scroll written in magical language unrolled. Lucilu read it carefully three times and signed His name in the bottom right corner.
The scroll rolled back up, spontaneously combusted, and transformed into a crystal-clear mark. The mark split into two; one sank into Lucilu’s mental imagery world, and the other sank onto the scale.
The wizards followed suit, all swearing vows one after another, and obtained the fundamental theory, a portion of Level 5 runes, and the Ninth Ring spell models promised by Ace.
All the information turned into crystal-clear, dream-like crystals and arrived in the hands of the nine Quasi-Legendary Immortal Wizards.
Looking at the dream-like crystal in His hand, Lucilu couldn’t wait to turn ethereal and disappear, returning to the interior of His desolate sub-plane to comprehend the mysteries within.
The first thing He comprehended was the fundamental theory. This was directional guidance and also the most important.
“As long as one masters the fundamental theory, one has grasped the key to the future. The other Level 5 runes, or even spell models, are all the results of time and inspiration. Without fundamental theory, it’s like a headless fly, never able to fly out of the maze.”
While opening the crystal, Lucilu spoke.
With a burst of light: “The dynamical effects of an inertial force field and a gravitational field are locally indistinguishable. The Equivalence Principle is only valid for local inertial frames; it is not necessarily valid for non-local inertial frames.” Seeing this sentence, Lucilu’s eyes gradually brightened.
“Equivalence… are gravity and acceleration equivalent?”
He continued looking at the next postulate, His eyes gradually widening.
“The form of physical laws is invariant in all frames of reference…”
Complex mathematical equation demonstrations. The unfriendly method with up to sixteen variables seemed to declare everything: space-time is uneven, and gravity is exactly the manifestation of space-time curvature. In other words, wherever there is matter, there is curvature of space-time, and there is gravity.
Lucilu continued reading the theory and ultimately reached a conclusion: “According to the understanding of General Relativity, our Astral Plane must have originated from an extremely twisted point. Time and space possess infinite curvature here; it is the end of time and space, and also the beginning of the world and space.
“All theories fail at this moment. This is truly difficult to comprehend. Then, the best form for creating the inner universe of a sub-plane should be the Singularity Method!”
Lucilu looked around, wanting to act but finding it difficult to act. A singularity is a true point with no dimensions, or understood mathematically as zero dimensions. For such a point to possibly possess infinite energy levels is simply inconceivable, and in fact, impossible to create.
He began to calculate and re-examine the complex mathematical equations, ultimately arriving at the same proof, understanding General Relativity from the cognition of His mental imagery world.
“Using General Relativity as the cornerstone might be the method closest to the truth among known theories, it’s just that a singularity fundamentally cannot be effectively constructed. I cannot create such a point that both exists and does not exist. Sigh.”
Holding His head, Lucilu began to browse through the sixteen spell models provided by Ace.
[Miniature Sunset Afterglow: Ninth Ring spell model. An extremely powerful and easy-to-use offensive spell model. Requires the spellcasting material Titan Element. Based on the mass-energy formula, uses Titan Element to create a small-scale nuclear fission. The maximum temperature inside the nuclear fission approaches 80 million degrees. Even an ordinary deity will be purified in an instant and fall into a long slumber. This spell also possesses multiple derivative attack methods such as neutron impact, nuclear radiation curses, and light radiation curses.
This spell can be used as a foundational spell and has various derivative effects.]
Lucilu’s eyes lit up. Without a doubt, this spell was very powerful. At the Ninth Ring level, mastering this spell meant one’s attack power was absolutely formidable among the Ninth Ring.
[Derivative Spell Example, Neutron Annihilation: A derivative spell of Miniature Sunset Afterglow, modified by the Ninth Ring Legendary Immortal Wizard Her Excellency Betty. Capable of annihilating the vast majority of biological life on an entire habitable planet in an instant. It is the most effective means of purifying filth.]
“Very efficient. It can be listed as a backup. Let’s look at the others.”
Lucilu licked His lips and said in a low voice. This spell was very magical and fit the aesthetics of wizards very well. He was tempted.
[Conceptual Mimicry – God of Frost: An outstanding research by the Tenth Ring Legendary Immortal Wizard Ace. Conceptual substitution magic. One needs to comprehend a Law of Frost according to the recommended method; a complete law is not needed, only mastering the profound mysteries of mimicry is required to obtain domain power similar to the God of Frost.
Note: This is a series of magics. There are over a thousand different types of mimicries to choose from. The mimicry of this Legendary Immortal spell is like a detachable device and can be replaced. The core of the spell is conceptual mimicry. Theoretically, relying on this magic, one can mimic the authority of any deity.]
“Such magic is indeed ingenious, but having ‘Sunset Afterglow’ capable of annihilating deities and not choosing it to choose this… although the method is complex, I fear its power is insufficient. I can learn it later, but not now. I don’t know how well this domain has been expanded yet either. Even if Lord Ace has truly discovered over a thousand different mimicry authorities, it would take me a very long time to switch through them all.
“However, it’s indeed very interesting. In the future, when I have enough exchange points, I can exchange for a few to try.”
Lucilu swiped gently and turned to a new page.
[Belief Mimicry – Holy Light of Virtue: Also an outstanding research by Ace. The contributions of the Legendary Immortal Knights Arno and Ancestar made this spell successful. We can use this spell to incarnate as a Legendary Immortal Knight of Virtue, forever possessing the complete strength of a Legendary Immortal Knight of Virtue, absolute resistance to mind magic, a sturdy body, extremely powerful execute effects, and super-doubled striking effects against evil.]
“Transforming into a Knight? Indeed interesting, but as a foundational spell, forget it.”
[Caruso’s Legendary Immortal Transfiguration: The core magic of the Legendary Immortal Wizard Karoso, who profoundly researches transfiguration magic. An absolutely tyrannical magic capable of transfiguring into various terrifying god-like creatures. You can transfigure into an Astral Plane World-Swallowing Worm, a Titan Hecatoncheires, a Bronze Dragon, a Silver Dragon, and other similar creatures.]
“Very interesting. The path Caruso walks is indeed interesting, but I’ll still pass.”
Losilu continued browsing, murmuring in His heart.
He was already hesitating whether He should choose “Miniature Sunset Afterglow.” Although this spell required complex theory and mathematical equations, it was simple and powerful, very “wizard.”
No matter what tricks the opponent performed, one shot of nuclear fission explosion solved everything. The only problem was, if the nuclear fission wasn’t thrown in the opponent’s face, it might mean big trouble.
Browsing through a few more, spells like [Thales’s Super Electromagnetic Force Field] and [Absolute Zero Ray], although powerful, also had obvious flaws. And most importantly, these were not completely based on General Relativity. Lucilu hadn’t found the spell regarding a singularity that He wanted.
Finally reaching the last one, Losilu took a deep breath and gently tapped it open.
[Unstable Black Hole Spell: Space-time is curved, and gravity is the manifestation of curvature. The vacuum solution of the Ace Equation indicates that if the actual radius of a static spherically symmetric celestial body is less than a certain value, bizarre phenomena will occur around it; that is, there exists an interface—the “Event Horizon.” Once entering this interface, even light cannot escape.
This radius is called the Ace Radius, and this inconceivable celestial body is called a black hole.
A black hole has extremely high density and extremely small volume…]
Looking at the introduction about the black hole, Lucilu’s eyes gradually brightened. This was the singularity He was looking for! Although different from what He had imagined, it could be proven from mathematical equations.
“A black hole is composed of a singularity at the center—where a scalar polynomial constructed starting from the Ace Curvature Tensor diverges—and the surrounding space-time. Its boundary is a unidirectional membrane where things can only enter and not exit, which is the Event Horizon. If I learn this magic, I should be able to construct a real black hole, thereby obtaining the singularity at the center of the black hole, which both exists and does not exist.
“Moreover, according to Lord Ace’s General Relativity, since black holes exist, there must inevitably exist white holes with similar but opposite attributes!
“This is the true magical crystallization based on General Relativity! This will be my foundation!”
Without hesitation, Lucilu exchanged for this magic, emptying His credit limit. Complex and tedious Level 5 runes and mathematical equations were all transmitted over, almost making Losilu faint from dizziness.
It took a long while before He steadied His mind and began to research earnestly.
“Level 5 runes have already been four-dimensionalized. If one wants to truly understand them, one must achieve dimensional ascension. But whether it’s dimensional ascension or opening high-dimensional rifts, although they are nearly instinctive abilities, fully developing this instinct still requires a huge investment, and it will probably take a lot of time.”
Thinking of this, Lucilu simply sought out Ace’s projection, reported this difficulty, and hoped Ace could provide help.
Ace’s projection gently rubbed His forehead and said: “This was my oversight. I forgot that you cannot freely open high-dimensional rifts and open the Ascension Door. I have already fixed these two abilities in the form of Ninth Ring Legendary Immortal spells. I will grant you more credit limit to exchange for these two foundational Legendary Immortal spells.”
Lucilu bowed to Ace gratefully. Knowledge has a price, and knowledge means efficiency, saving time. With the two spells “Ascension Door” and “Dimensional Reduction Scar,” Lucilu’s research progress accelerated significantly.
Clusters of Divine Power Essence began to appear in His sub-plane, and the time spent entering four-dimensional space-time also gradually lengthened.
Only in four-dimensional space-time could one truly observe the full picture of Level 5 runes and truly understand Level 5 runes.
Both the Mobile Fortress and the Angel of Holy Light were approaching the Wizard Multiverse at the fastest speed. Because they didn’t quite understand the space-time curvature of this layer, the Mobile Fortress’s jumps were intermittent, alternating between sub-light-speed navigation and curvature jumps, continuously closing in on the Wizard Multiverse.
The Wizard Multiverse was also continuously approaching the direction of the Mobile Fortress, shortening the distance between them. This brought no small amount of trouble to the Angel of Holy Light’s positioning. A trace of a smile appeared at the corners of His mouth: “This prey is indeed extremely cunning, but such tossing about can only delay your demise, not change your fate. We have thirty-five Named Ones; your fate is already sealed.”
Thirty-four differently shaped sub-planes continued to accelerate their flight. In this Astral Plane layer, They had not yet mastered the miraculous ability of curvature jumping.
Ace’s true body frequently entered four-dimensional space-time. He wasn’t very worried about the Wizard Multiverse. In four-dimensional space-time, He could clearly observe the movement of the Wizard World, the movement of the Mobile Fortress He was in, and the movement of the dozens of four-dimensional particles in the distance.
“Suspected to have discovered the Wizard Multiverse? But according to my understanding of the True Name World, they should have methods to pinpoint the Wizard Multiverse, perhaps something like the Great Source Positioning Method. The arrival of the other party is not unusual.
“Thirty-four weak four-dimensional particles are not terrifying. Even if I don’t make a move, the other Legendary Immortal Wizards will be able to handle them.”
Ace shifted His gaze’s direction, looking at the curvature ravine of four-dimensional space-time. That was the ravine leading to the Level 4 layer, insurmountable on the four-dimensional level.
“I must think of a way to trigger my sub-plane to fall. Perhaps I should ascend to the Level 4 layer again and observe the specific changes of Kaya from the four-dimensional level.”
Acting on His thoughts, Ace didn’t have any hesitation. Lacking His sub-plane, His strength had suffered a massive loss. That sub-plane with a million stars held too many secrets and powers. If He started from scratch, the time and energy required would be too heavy.
But Ace did not regret fleeing. The situation at that time was too strange. Even being like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring was better than being locked in Kaya, caught in a dilemma.
Entering the Level 4 layer through three dimensions, Ace rapidly ascended dimensions. On the four-dimensional level, He quickly found the Kaya World and observed Kaya’s specific changes.
The four-dimensional state of the Giant Tree World had already merged with the four-dimensional state particle cluster of the Kaya World. The violent reaction caused extremely intense tremors. A wave of greenery rapidly spread, making Ace feel a palpitation. He could not explain this situation, but He saw a sliver of opportunity in it.
He achieved spiritual resonance with another projection in the Kaya World. Hum!
