I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 581 Soul Transmigration (4600 words)

Given Fang Yu's cautious nature, he certainly wouldn't rashly release the unknown spirituality within the Wojin Divine Mirror.

Regardless of whether the other party will possess his body, just considering the vast spiritual power stored in the Mirror of Vol'jin, if Adrian has any way to utilize it, he might be able to directly ascend to legendary status.

The possibility is small, but not impossible.

Fang Yu never entrusts her fate to the word "luck".

Before breaking the seal on Lisia, Fang Yu had already made thorough preparations.

That is to transfer this encrypted package to the newly built "Minecraft" server.

This is a fully simulated server controlled by a large model, built by Fang Yu and Youzi by combining arcane magic and technology!

This fully simulated server is composed of 11980 Orange Core 25T chips. The large model running inside is not the architecture of Orange Core's large model, but a new architecture specifically designed for virtual divination and simulating reality.

Orange Core's 25T nominal computing power is equivalent to 300% of NVIDIA M60.

However, since the M60 lacks a tensor core and can only run FP32, its utilization rate is very poor in small batches.

The Orange Core 25T is a pure AI instruction set and matrix array that supports BF16, INT8, INT4, and even INT1 throughput, sparse acceleration, and high-speed interconnection. When running large models, its actual computing power is nearly 20 times higher than that of the M60.

Under this architecture, the strong factor model has improved its accuracy in identifying representative factors to 83% in some verifiable real-world event replay tests, and can simultaneously extrapolate factor information on a scale of one hundred billion.

In the real world, 1000 billion factor information is still just a drop in the ocean, but when combined with Yuzu Technology's "dynamic factor compensation" technology, it can achieve a level of realism in simulations, at least in small-scale scenarios!

In addition to memory and SSDs, the server's storage facilities also used a large number of spiritual bottles and astral crystals as "capacitors," and all of these capacitors were installed in the "spiritual router" that Fang Yu specially customized for ZET Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing produced the designated machines according to Fang Yu's drawings. After Fang Yu received the machines, he installed the Spirit Bottle and Astral Crystal on them himself.

The method used to guide spirituality is the "arc Trojan" used by Yuzu to invade the server.

Since Yuzu's consciousness can infiltrate the server through the arcane Trojan, it can naturally also transfer the encrypted package containing Lisia's spirituality into the server.

The moment the transfer occurred, Fang Yu disconnected the connection between the server and the Woking Mirror.

The hazy space that Lysia's spirit just saw was the system space of the Mirror of Vol'jin simulated in "Minecraft".

However, Lisia's spirituality was too strong. Although the computing power of "Minecraft" was thousands of times greater than that of the original array server of Yuzu Technology, it still put a great burden on "Minecraft" due to the limited video memory capacity. As a result, the server could only run for fifteen minutes each time before entering a low-power state, which is equivalent to idle mode.

In low-power mode, the model needs to write the intermediate state to disk and then restore it. In addition, memory and video memory fragmentation needs to be cleaned up in the AI ​​framework, but the model cannot be crashed. Furthermore, it needs to be compatible with the spiritual mechanism and avoid Lisia's spirituality.

The entire cleaning process took a considerable amount of time, nearly a day.

During the cleanup process, the system resources were reduced to almost nothing. It will no longer collect or extrapolate environmental factors, and only basic computing power will be retained. This computing power is just enough for Lisia to read two books.

It took Fang Yu three whole days to figure out how Lisia was sealed by Adrian.

Adrian, through the Boson Prophecy, foresaw that five years later, the entire arcane civilization would be destroyed, and only the legends who had escaped into the astral plane would survive.

Although Lysia was skeptical of the prophecy, she trusted Adrian and cooperated with him in making a series of preparations to avert the end of the world.

This life laboratory was one of the experiments the two of them were conducting at the time.

But no matter which paths were tried, the outcome of Boson's divination was ultimately unchanged.

It was during this period that, because Adrian's experimental plan was too radical and seriously violated the arcane ethics of the Arcane Federation, Lysia and Adrian had a very intense argument.

After Lysia returned to the arcane capital of Seres in a huff, a year or two later, still worried about Adrian, she returned to Mount Omiz and found the love letter Adrian had left for her.

Lysia thought Adrian had really destroyed the supernatural being they had created, so after seeing the love letter, she immediately rushed to Kornclay to see Adrian.

Adrian told Lycia that he had found a way to combine his spirituality with the monitoring of Kornclay's magical network fluctuations, thus escaping the apocalyptic catastrophe of the arcane civilization.

However, because his cultivation level is insufficient, he needs Rishia's assistance.

Under Adrian's sweet talk, Lisia helped Adrian modify the monitoring system and, together with Adrian, completed the standard spell model encapsulated within the system.

In order to integrate Adrian's spirituality into the system, Lysia's spirituality also entered into it, hoping to lend her beloved a helping hand.

To her surprise, the moment Adrian obtained the Magic Network Fluctuation Monitoring System with her help, he immediately turned on her and used the system's power to completely seal her spirituality in a sealing method she had never seen before!
The Magic Network Fluctuation Monitoring System is a ten-ring math Olympiad facility.

Of course, even if Lysia is in a purely spiritual state, it would be impossible for an ordinary tenth-ring arcane facility to seal her away.

After all, she was a level 29 legendary mage.

However, the Magic Network Fluctuation Monitoring System is different. The reason why this facility can monitor the Magic Network fluctuations of Kornclay is that it has essentially taken over all the Magic Network nodes within Kornclay's range.

When Fang Yu first arrived in Kober, the priests of the Temple of Vol'jin learned through the Mirror of Vol'jin that Fang Yu had cast Mage Armor.

If the Mirror of Vol'jin only monitors the fluctuations of nearby magic network nodes, it would be impossible for it to know the specific content of the spell.

Without her spirit returning to her body, Lisia was utterly powerless against the system that had taken over all the nearby magic network nodes.

Furthermore, Lisia simply couldn't believe her lover would betray her, and was completely stunned, failing to launch a counterattack immediately. As a result, a level 29 legendary mage was actually sealed by a level 13 intermediate mage!
Lisia is, after all, a legend with extremely powerful perception. Although her spirituality is sealed, she can still sense her own body and some external information.

She watched helplessly as Adrian released the level 20 extraordinary creature she had nurtured together—the Heartbreaker Mother.

This thing is an extraordinary creature cultivated in the giant creation chamber within the Life Laboratory's Great Imprisonment Array.

Adrian's initial experimental plan was to create a biological vessel that could survive in the astral plane and contain the life essence, spirituality, and mental power of ordinary mages, thus helping all ordinary mages to escape the magical tribulation.

But after the Mother of Hearts was truly created, Lysia discovered that although this thing had no intelligence, it did not contain the life essence and spiritual power of the arcane mage, but rather completely devoured them!
It can even devour legendary spiritual power and the essence of life!

This also means that the experiment was a complete failure.

Adrian clearly said that this thing had been destroyed!

They shouldn't have been here at all!

Only then did she truly realize that Adrian had been lying to her all along.

Adrian's purpose in cultivating the "Heartbreaker" was, from the very beginning, to plunder everything from her!
That's why they tricked her into sealing her spirit into the Demon Network Fluctuation Monitoring System!

The Heartflayer Mother devoured her body piece by piece, while Adrian, through a pre-prepared blood pact, merged with the Heartflayer Mother, instantly achieving legendary status and escaping into the Astral Plane.

Fang Yu was speechless with astonishment after hearing this.

Adrian killed his wife to prove his path; he's a real ruthless killer.

The cult leader is no match for you, even if it means drinking a pot of wine.

Since Adrian has entered the Astral Plane, he is most likely one of the current gods.

Is it Elas, the goddess of life, or the mother goddess of life mentioned by the griffin?
By the way, is he/she male or female? Time was up and I didn't have time to ask. Oh well, I'll ask again tomorrow.

On the fourth day, when Fang Yu switched back to the life laboratory, he was taken aback as soon as his consciousness connected to the virtual system.

What kind of building is this?
In the originally gray space stood a strange and peculiar building, unlike anything from the Great Arcane Era or the present Prime Material Plane.

The roof appears to have eaves, but upon closer inspection, that's not the case; the pointed corners of the two roof eaves resemble cow horns.

Below is a two-story building with many round windows.

Behind the house is a lake, with many strangely shaped aquatic plants growing near the shore.

A large, ferocious-looking fish leaped out of the lake and sprayed a jet of water at Fang Yu.

What is this? Did Lishia make it?
As expected of a legend, it's only been a few days, and the system can only run for fifteen minutes a day, yet she's already figured out how to play "Minecraft." Fang Yu pushed open the door and saw Lisia leaning against a sloping couch, holding a book, staring blankly into space, muttering to herself.

"If what I've fallen in love with is a dream, then please let me never wake up..."

Judging from her expression, if she weren't in a spirit form and couldn't shed tears, she would probably be in tears by now.

Sure enough, Grandma Qiong's old-fashioned, sentimental romance novels are a surefire way to seduce female PhD students!

Is it because the scenery has stirred up painful memories?
"Master Fang Yu, you've arrived." Upon seeing Fang Yu, Lixia quickly composed herself and nodded slightly.

"Yes, Your Highness, this is a nice place. Was it your old residence?"

Fang Yu blinked and looked around.

Well, all I can say is that it's ugly in a unique way, with an aesthetic that lacks any imagination.

Lisia perked up, as if she had found a kindred spirit: "You think so, right? Doesn't it look like Mei Ruohong and Qianqian's Water Cloud Pavilion?"

Fang Yu looked completely bewildered.

It seems that the book "Shui Yun Jian" was among the books I gave you last time.

Mei Ruohong? Du Qianqian? Who are those? The male and female leads?
How the hell am I supposed to know what Shuiyunjian is like?

Do you think someone my age looks like someone who has watched Qiong Yao dramas?

The most I've ever watched is Princess Pearl.

Lisia smiled shyly: "The West Lake in the book is so beautiful, I didn't know what it looked like, so I just made one based on my own imagination."

Then, with a hopeful look on his face, he asked Fang Yu, "Master Fang Yu, is this lake the same as West Lake?"

???

“Uh… what’s that?” Fang Yu pointed to the strange, winding plants by the lake.

Lisia's eyes lit up: "That's a lotus flower! I made it based on the illustration in the book. Doesn't it look just like one?"

Damn! If you hadn't told me, I would have thought it was Cthulhu's tentacles.

By the way, the book I gave Licia was a first edition from forty or fifty years ago, older than my own father. The illustrations were all hand-drawn in black and white and printed with ink. If you've ever seen a lotus flower, you can imagine what it looks like. If you haven't, I don't know what you can imagine.

Similar to overfitting and representation bias in AI.

No wonder you're losing so much sanity.

"Well, not bad." Fang Yu coughed lightly. "I didn't expect you to master the knack of 'Minecraft' so quickly."

Lisia smiled forlornly: "Unfortunately, these can only exist for a dozen minutes; they are merely illusions similar to the Water Mirror Technique. Master Fang Yu, what do you wish to ask today?"

Fang Yu withdrew his smile, his expression becoming sincere: "Your Excellency Lixia, there is something I have wanted to ask you these past few days, but I haven't had the chance. But please believe that I have no ill intentions, as I am afraid this question may be a bit presumptuous."

Lisia frowned slightly: "Go ahead and ask, I won't mind, but if it involves my privacy or certain secrets of the Arcane Federation, I won't tell you. What do you want to ask?"

Fang Yu's eyes flickered: "I want to ask... is Adrian male or female?"

Upon hearing this, Lisia's expression changed slightly.

“I didn’t mean to pry into your privacy, but it’s important,” Fang Yu said seriously. “From the information I’ve gathered about Adrian, she seems to be a woman. Of course, it doesn’t matter if she’s a woman. My world is very open about this. Some countries have already allowed marriage.”

"But I have read many of Adrian's documents and papers, and his masculine characteristics are very obvious in terms of writing style."

"Furthermore, these past few days when you mentioned 'Ta,' you've been using the 'he' which is a male pronoun, which makes me very confused."

"Can you tell me its gender?"

Fang Yu stared intently at Lixia's reaction.

Lisia remained silent for a long time. Just as Fang Yu was considering whether to try to persuade her again, Lisia spoke up.

"He... is a woman."

It's a woman? It really is a woman...

Isn't it GHG? How come it's so ruthless?

"But he's a man too."

Lisia added another sentence.

Fang Yu's expression froze instantly.

? ? ? ? ? ?
Is she a woman, or a man?

Hermaphrodite?

"No, he is not intersex. To be precise, he used to be a man."

In the past? A T in the LGBT community? Or someone who had surgery?

When he time-traveled, the Awakening Virus hadn't spread this far yet, right?
I remember that should have been when Occupy Wall Street was at its peak.

“He is the youngest child in the Akani family. His grandfather was one of my disciples. I met him when he was just born.”

At this point, Lisia smiled a little shyly.

Fang Yu's expression was strange.

You saw it when it was just born? So you're playing the role of raising a small horse to pull a big cart?

and many more!

You saw him right after he was born? His grandfather? The youngest child?

Fang Yu's expression changed slightly.

Lost in her memories, Lisia didn't notice Fang Yu's presence and continued, "I really crossed paths with him when he was 20 years old. At that time, he was just a junior mage, a disciple of the archmage Yodnir, and served as a hostess at an arcane symposium."

Lisia spoke slowly, her eyes filled with a look of reminiscence.

"But thirty years ago, he suddenly disappeared, and even the Boundless Messenger could not contact him."

"Five years later, I suddenly received a message from him, but by then, he had become her and his appearance was completely different."

“I asked him what happened, and he just said that something went wrong with his experiment, so his gender was changed.”

! ! ! ! ! !
"Are you sure this person who changed gender is still Adrian?" Fang Yu interrupted Licia's topic, his eyes fixed intently on her expression.

“Of course.” Lisia frowned slightly. “I am a legend of the School of Life. No creature’s disguise can fool my eyes. His spirituality has not changed at all. Moreover, the spiritual fire he left in the Arcane Union can also prove that he is a human being.”

"Master Fang Yu, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Lisia sensed Fang Yu's shock and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Adrian is not from Earth!
He was a native of the main plane whose soul transmigrated to Earth!

So how did he travel back in time?
