Wizards are mighty.

Chapter 190

(This chapter continues the story)

……

"The ego is dominant. It regulates the self, represents the will of the wizard, and is the individual's cognition of his or her own state of existence. The source of the wizard's power is the ego. By leveraging knowledge through the ego, the wizard can create miracles that other creatures cannot imagine."

"The superego is formed by the environment. All ideals, pursuits, cognition of self-worth, and some morality together constitute the superego. The superego suppresses the id and is naturally opposed to the id. The ego, as the middle layer between the two, regulates and is compatible with the two."

"The power of a wizard is highly compatible, which is manifested externally as a thirst for knowledge. The source of this compatibility lies in the wizard's unique self, but this is not without cost."

"As power grows, the burden on wizards also grows."

"The ego originally needs to take on the function of regulating the ego and the superego, which cannot be strengthened through practice. Although the ego will gradually strengthen as the wizard's soul grows stronger, the growth of the soul will also strengthen the ego and the superego. Therefore, if the shackles of the ego are not released, then the wizard apprentice will never be able to become a formal wizard. Once a breakthrough is forced, the wizard's ego will collapse because it cannot bear the pressure, thus triggering the destruction of the soul."

"In order to solve this problem and achieve advancement, the wizard predecessors gradually explored two ways. The underlying principles of these two ways are the same, but the actual operation methods are completely different."

"They are respectively the black wizard who uses the ego to contain the ego and thus suppresses the superego, and the white wizard who uses the ego to contain the superego and thus suppresses the ego."

"When the ego accommodates the id, the influence of the id will be magnified, while the superego will be suppressed. Therefore, dark wizards often behave in a hedonistic and indulgent way of the flesh. Powerful dark wizards often need to suppress their desires through meditation or other means, such as physical transformation, to avoid becoming a beast dominated by the flesh."

"When the ego accommodates the superego, the influence of the superego will be magnified, while the ego will be suppressed. Therefore, white wizards often appear indifferent and pursue their own ideals and goals. Powerful white wizards need to put their souls into weak bodies from time to time, and find ways to preserve the spark of the ego, so that the ego will not disappear or the ego will be polluted and assimilated by the superego. Once the ego of a white wizard is completely infected by the superego, he will lose his identity as a wizard and will no longer be able to use the power of a wizard, but he will retain his original energy level and transformation, etc."

"These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. Dark wizards do not need to worry too much about their own safety, because it is difficult for the ego to erode the ego. However, they need to meditate frequently to avoid being unable to control the desires brought about by the growth of the ego, which would lead to wasting a lot of time and resources on meaningless things."

"Although white wizards are more rational, they need to be aware of the erosion of their ego by their superego at all times. Although this does not take much time, the risk is greater. In addition, powerful white wizards often seal their own power in order to save the burden on themselves."

"The essence of these two methods is to free the self from its original function of regulating the id and superego, and even to use the power of the id and superego to exert stronger power at some cost."

"As for why the three cannot be integrated into one, it is because the ego and the superego have an irreconcilable conflict. Even if some method is used to make the soul naturally integrated, the wizard's power will be lost due to the disappearance of the self. Currently, wizards have not found a way to solve this problem."

"As for letting the ego cover the id and superego, this is impossible because a wizard's complete soul must be composed of these three parts. Once one of them disappears, it will be difficult to continue to make progress."

"The will of a wizard comes from his ego. Generally speaking, wizards whose talents and intuition are higher than their thinking ability and rationality will choose to become dark wizards, and vice versa. Of course, those with little difference between the two can choose either."

"The wizard's self is quite unique, and it contains a set of solid values, which is also the basis for the wizard world to have a strong centripetal force." "As long as you become a wizard, whether you are a black wizard or a white wizard, you will naturally follow this set of principles, which is called wizard-centrism. Wizards believe that this is also one of the foundations of their own magical power."

The illusory Vic thought for a moment and then continued speaking.

"Let me digress."

"In fact, according to my subsequent exploration, this common value system will gather the spiritual power of all wizards and use the core rules of the wizarding world as a seesaw to pry the rules of the multiverse, thereby achieving the magical effect of absorbing other power systems."

"Therefore, a single wizard cannot integrate the ego, self, and superego into one (for example, after a wizard successfully integrates his soul, in the process of communicating with the wizard's spiritual power collection, his originally integrated soul will be infected and torn apart by the ego and superego consciousness in the wizard's spiritual power collection). After realizing this, I used the seventh civilization wizard weapon as the core, and supplemented it with the ultimate research result of the other world - the Great Secret Instrument of Mind Conversion, to forge the wizard's spiritual power collection into one, and finally achieved the goal, allowing wizards to perfect their own souls."

"Yes, the Great Secret Instrument of Mind Transformation was obtained from Earth civilization."

Smacking his lips, the illusory Vic seemed to be reminiscing about the experience.

"Anyway, that's the end of this part."

"There's really nothing to say. It's all in the past."

"I even think that the reason why there is a distinction between black and white wizards is actually something made up by the 'author'."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't appear in these settings."

"Okay, next up is the wizard's power and things related to the setting."

The illusory Vic sorted out his thoughts and continued.

"The levels of wizards from low to high are wizard (level one) apprentice, level two apprentice, level three apprentice, level four apprentice, trainee wizard (level five apprentice), formal (level one) wizard, level two wizard, great (level three) wizard, true spirit (level four) wizard, level five wizard, legendary (level six) wizard, miracle (level seven) wizard, level eight wizard, speaker (level nine wizard), wizard king (level ten wizard)."

"The lifespan is: the soul lifespan of a wizard apprentice is capped at 1,000 years, the soul lifespan of a wizard of level 1 to 3 is capped at 10,000 years, the soul lifespan of a wizard of level 4 to 6 is capped at 1 million years, and the soul lifespan of a wizard of level 7 to 9 is capped at 100 million years. The time scale of lifespan is multiverse time, and most power systems follow this rule."
