Wizards are mighty.

Chapter 203

(Reading the Book of the World)
"Then there's Chapter Three, Creatures of the Magical World."

The illusory Vic waved his hand, and large spots of light emerged from all directions, then gathered in front of everyone to form an image of the evolution of life.

"Many creatures in the world of Faerun are composed of cells, and cells are composed of chemical compounds. Souls are usually placed in brain cells. If a soul is separated from the support of brain cells, it will quickly dissipate."

"The souls of some creatures are not carried by brain cells, such as viruses and slimes. The souls of these creatures are located in a certain part of their bodies. The soul is carried by a crystal, which is called a soul crystal. Crystals can be large or small. After the subject dies, its consciousness will slowly dissipate."

"There are also creatures that are not made up of compounds, such as elemental life. Elemental life is directly composed of elements. The elements that make up their bodies are usually larger or smaller than elements of standard size. They also have soul crystals."

"Of course, due to the curse of the ancient evil, the physical form of humans and many creatures cannot be changed or inherited. However, they can still undergo a small degree of evolution in order to adapt to the environment, but it is not reflected in their physical form."

A ferocious monster with a hideous appearance, a slime twisting on the ground, and a fire elemental elf with flames all over its body appeared in front of the two.

They all have souls, but the souls of monsters, like those of humans or humanoid creatures, exist in thinking organs such as the brain.

The slime and the fire element have soul crystals in their bodies.

That is the carrier of their souls.

Of course, viruses also have souls, but their souls are almost negligible, and the so-called soul crystals are so small that they are almost unobservable.

Speaking of the soul.

The illusory Vic turned the page and looked at the next chapter.

"Souls are born from the source sea, which overlaps with the material world."

This is Chapter 4 - Contents of the Soul.

"The soul and the rules themselves are the only two entities that can freely control the ether. The soul power condensed in the soul can combine with the ether to form a different kind of ether."

"As time goes by, the soul gradually ages, and this process is difficult to slow down, unstoppable, and irreversible."

"The soul will generate spiritual power, which has difficulty affecting things outside the ether and can leave the body."

"Spiritual power has its own limit. If it is lost, it can be regenerated."

"Spiritual power originates from the soul, so ether can be manipulated to a certain extent. Spiritual power is related to the soul, and one aspect can be rapidly increased through training."

"Well, it's somewhat similar to the mental powers of wizards."

Unreal Vic stroked his chin.

It seems that the "author" applied a lot of settings from the previous world when creating their multiverse.

Read on.

"Depending on the different forms, the different kinds of ether can be called mana, blood power, natural power, attribute power, qi and blood power, divine power, etc."

"Professionals fuse soul power with mental power, so that when soul power grows, mental power will also grow synchronously. However, this has certain flaws, that is, the ability of mental power to control ether can only be used synchronously when soul power, that is, heterogeneous ether, is used. (Normally, there is no limit to its use, such as controlling alchemical tools and detecting others)"

"When a soul loses its protection or ages to the extreme, it will transform into pure source essence and return to the source sea."

"The souls of ordinary people are turbid and weak, and are easily affected by external factors. The upgrade of professionals is a process of constantly eliminating impurities and strengthening the soul."

"When the spiritual power generated by the soul is strong enough, it can interfere with reality to a certain extent. As the spiritual power becomes stronger, the reality that can be interfered with gradually becomes stronger. This property is widely used in casting spells." "The soul uses the brain as a carrier and will be affected by hormones to a certain extent. However, as the professional's level increases, the professional will have stronger control over his own soul, and in some cases he will even get rid of the carrier and exist independently."

"Yuan Hai? Interesting."

There was a glimmer of surprise in the illusory Vic's eyes.

When he was an intermediate wizard, he had created something similar.

Is this also a setting from the "author"?
It seems that even the world he once created, which was not "created", was somehow influenced by the original setting of the "author".

"Many reactions in the soul are generated by itself, not by hormones, and the reactions produced by different people will be different."

"Different races have different life spans. The main factor causing this difference is the soul. Although some races have a very long life span, their fertility and talent ratio have decreased to a certain extent."

"For example, the lifespan of elves is usually 320 years, which is four times that of humans. In the past, powerful professionals were often born among the elves, but this ratio is far lower than that of humans. Sometimes, the ratio of ordinary people to professionals is even tens of thousands to one."

"Most importantly, for those who have ascended to the epic level or above, the longer their souls live, the longer it takes them to comprehend various rules and assimilate their own souls. In other words, a long life span does not give them much of an advantage."

"And the elves' fertility is very low, so even if they live longer, they cannot gain an advantage in competition."

"Well, that seems fair."

Vic raised an eyebrow.

In the multiverse, such fair things are rare.

Many races are naturally stronger in all aspects than other races. There is no such thing as a long lifespan but slow growth.

The wizard is the most typical example.

The wizard system seems like a miracle to some other races.

They worked hard to accumulate resources and built up foundation for who knows how long before they were able to make a breakthrough.

But wizards often only need a moment of inspiration.

You can directly reach the next level.

That's not fair at all.

It seems that the "author's" creative concept has undergone significant changes during this period of time.

"Okay, keep reading."

"The next chapter is... the history of Faerûn?"

Vic turned the pages of the Book of the World.

"About 200 billion years ago, the world was born and the rules were chaotic. This was the primitive era."

"The world has been running in the void for 100 billion years. Finally, about 100 billion years ago, a terrifying existence born from the rules came into the world, and indescribable ancient evil demons were born one after another, thus entering the Age of Chaos."

"As time passed, the primitive era gradually faded away, the weirdness disappeared, and the evil retreated. The ancient evil demon extracted a part of itself and created all races."
