Chapter 289 Golden Triangle: Life, Void, and Me
life!

More than ten days have passed since Wayne gathered the five great gods. During these days, he has been thinking about one question - life.

There are many meanings of life, which often intersect with concepts such as religious philosophy, consciousness and soul, and moral good and evil. When these concepts collide, the answers vary.

Wayne is not a philosopher. As a magician, he thinks about life based on what he has learned and the theories of the magical world.

Magic is about balance and evolution. The human body is the universe. The evolution of a magician is the development and change of the universe. Self-growth, reproduction, will, evolution...

These are consistent with the connotation of life and are also within the scope of the universe.

The so-called life is the universe.

However, life can be the universe, and the universe does not only refer to life. Wayne is very clear that the life he thinks he has is far from meeting the standard of the universe. At most, it is an abridged version of the universe, that is, nature.

Even the concept of nature was not something Wayne had fully come into contact with.

Nature is not just the basic earth, fire, water, and wind, as well as nature, sun, moonlight, darkness, death, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, etc.

With this vast concept of nature in mind, the belief of the Life Alliance is very worthy of reflection.

In the past, the Life Alliance consisted of more than just five goddesses. Only when all the gods of faith came together could there be a complete life and a complete nature.

Due to the outbreak of the War of Faith, the Life Alliance declined and only five goddesses remained. For some reason, darkness and death withdrew from the alliance, leaving only nature, sun and moonlight.

These three can also constitute a nature, a life, but they are far less glorious and powerful than they once were.

"According to the choice of God, the path I'm taking is not wrong. This is what life is like..."

“But I always feel like something is missing?”

"Life should not be scattered and independent, it should be a whole..."

"Hey, the goddess of nature has a big appetite. She herself can represent life. Do the two allies, the sun and the moon, have any objections? Did darkness and death voluntarily withdraw because they couldn't stand her arrogance?"

"No, now is not the time to think about these things. I have already obtained the initial concept of life and have the framework. Next, I should think about how to integrate these scattered concepts into one."

"Book of Greed, don't just eat and do nothing, move!"

"Asshole, what are you mumbling about there? What's the matter?"

Veronica looked down at Wayne and punched him in the face. From the beginning till now, it was obvious that she was the one who had been moving, complaining about this and that. If she had the ability, she could move herself.

The camera pulls away and shows the two doing some exercises in the bedroom that are beneficial to their physical and mental health.

.

"Veronica, I'm thinking about a very serious matter."

"You say this every time I ask you. How long have you been thinking about it... Stop thinking now!"

Veronica added another punch, feeling aggrieved and suspecting that Wayne was tired of her. She said she was thinking about a problem, but in fact she was thinking about the beautiful Senna.

Moonlight Knight Draene is also a possibility. The relationship between Wayne and him has progressed rapidly. Draene went from being indifferent in the beginning to being able to talk about anything now. Draene gives Wayne whatever he wants. If you don’t know, you would think he is training an heir!

There must be something wrong!
You high priests of oracle and chosen knights of God, are you good men who have experienced too much and have become picky about food, so you want to change your taste and start craving for trash cans?

Go find the Dark Knight, he's a trash can too!

"Speak, asshole!"

"My bad, move now."

……

"What? I thought he was so awesome, but this is all?"

Wayne put on his pants and was about to leave. Veronica was secretly annoyed. When she heard this, she blushed and said angrily, "It's not even daybreak yet, where are you going?"

Is it Senna or Draene?

"Correction, the frozen continent lights up once a year, and each time it lights up for half a year."

Wayne was in high spirits, in stark contrast to the hopeless Veronica. While putting on his shirt, he said, "Don't worry, I'm not looking for Senna or Delain. I'm looking for the teacher."

"..."

Terrible line, would you mind listening to what you are saying.

"The time is right. I am ready to reach the Golden Mage realm. Without further ado, I will go find my teacher."

At the end of September last year, Wayne cultivated the Silver Cross of God, Life, Space, and Self and officially became a Silver Mage. Eleven months ago, almost a year, he finally completed the progress bar of the five major beliefs.

If there were no ancient silver coins and obelisks, and Wayne could only rely on meditation to plunder the elementals, it would take an unknown amount of time. Wayne felt scared just thinking about it.

With five kinds of beliefs crammed in at once, the already exaggerated demand for the essence of life skyrocketed. If there were no multiple transportation captains to personally deliver the express to the door, this process would take at least ten years.

ten years!

An ordinary person with zero basic skills made five consecutive basketball debuts.

Praise to the Lord of the Void, the Thousand Eyes, Orb, the two anonymous people from the Church of Death, and those kind people whose names I have completely forgotten!

Thinking of the blood and tears along the way, Wayne was grateful, silently prayed for them, sent praises and blessings, and hoped that in the next life...

Oh, there is no afterlife, and there is no point in praying.

Then don't pray, it's a waste of time.

Now that the elemental fellows have gathered, the progress bar is basically full. If Wayne doesn't break through to the golden mage realm, he will overflow.

Wayne couldn't bear the thought of so many of his fellow villagers being displaced, so he decided to expand his own house as soon as possible to accommodate his fellow villagers and provide them with a home to shelter from the wind and rain.

"You want the Golden Mage..."

Veronica sat up hugging the white bed sheet, her face complicated as she asked, "It's only been a short while, how come you're so fast?"

"..."

Terrible line, would you mind listening to what you are saying.

"It's already very slow. I could have gone even faster."

Wayne muttered, and Veronica continued, "Help me up and get dressed. I want to go find my mother too."

"Are you also a golden wizard?"

"Not even a little bit yet. I'll listen and prepare in advance."

"alright."

----

"You want to advance to the Golden Mage level?"

Xifei looked at Wayne in surprise: "I remember you were only silver last year. It's so fast. Is there something wrong with your body? Come here and let me check it out."

"Xiffy, people's physiques cannot be generalized. I am very sure that there is nothing wrong with his body. He is very healthy..."

Senna leaned against the window and saw Veronica holding Wayne's arm with a wary look on her face. Senna bit her lip slightly and recalled: "Very energetic and very pure."

Veronica was furious.

Xifei rubbed her temples with a headache, too lazy to say anything more, and gave Wayne a reproachful look: "Anyway, we still have to check it out. Uh, teacher, please help check it out!"

Her son's talent was too outstanding, and the strength of his native bloodline was far beyond Siffy's expectations. She no longer dared to give him any guidance rashly. Senna was a legendary wizard, and one of the more powerful ones among them. She was more suitable to check Wayne's physical condition than she was.

Under Veronica's dissatisfied gaze, Senna swayed to Wayne, put her hands on his shoulders and made him sit on the sofa.

Judging from the posture, I still want to ride it.

Wayne sat cross-legged and warned Senna in his mind not to mess around.

Senna smiled slightly. Given the clear hierarchical relationship between the two, she had neither the qualifications nor the ability to examine Wayne's body. Doing this was just a formality.

After two minutes, Senna finished the examination in a pretentious manner. She returned to the window with a red face and panting, her vision blurred, and said in a trembling voice: "I have finished the examination... He..."

"..." x3
"Okay, stop talking."

Seeing the teacher's weird look on his face, Xifei was about to collapse. It was just touching the hand and shoulder, or Senna touching Wayne, was it necessary to turn out like this?

Teacher, how much do you like my son?

Xifei didn't know Senna's situation, so she couldn't understand Senna's desire for Wayne, that kind of desire that came from the mind to the body, and the fact that Senna could still remain rational and just touch the little hand was already a manifestation of extremely strong willpower.

Veronica: ()
The world outside was too cruel. She missed Chris and Willy. In a trio, she could do whatever she wanted, but she really had no way to deal with Senna.

"Teacher, can Wayne be promoted to a gold mage?"

After a while, Sifty waited until Senna was a little more stable before she dared to ask questions.

"can."

Senna took a deep breath and said seriously, "Wayne is different from us. No, he is different from all magicians. His silver cross is extremely stable and difficult to dismantle and reassemble. Prepare a quiet room. I want to tutor him alone."

Is it really just tutoring? x2
Xifei didn't believe it, and Veronica didn't believe it either. They both had the same idea and were afraid that someone would die in the quiet room.

"You can watch from the side, but don't make any noise to disturb us."

Senna was dissatisfied when she received Wayne's message, but she still said it as ordered.

The four of them came to the basement of the cabin. Wayne sat cross-legged in the middle and took off his shirt as Senna asked. His body proportions were pleasing to the eye, and Senna couldn't move away after just one look.

"Gulp!" x2
Xifei raised her hand to cover her face, turned around and hit Veronica on the head with a knife, and scolded: "Be serious, now is not the time to look at men. How old are you? Can you be more mature and stable?"

Veronica was so ashamed by the indirect criticism that she lowered her head on the spot.

Senna didn't hear anything at all. She frowned and looked at Wayne, and her mind transmitted that she was helpless. She really wanted to help Wayne break through the bottleneck, but she couldn't do it. Just normal physical contact made her imagine a lot, let alone anything else.

Xifei didn't dare to act recklessly, Veronica was not qualified, Senna couldn't take action, and the situation came to a stalemate.

"Let's try it first. I don't expect to succeed in one go. If it doesn't work, I can go find Mr. Mura." Wayne spoke to break the deadlock.

Senna nodded and asked Xifei to explain the concept of the Golden Triangle and the steps for the Silver Cross to evolve into the Golden Triangle. If there was anything missing, she would immediately add it.

Black forged six points: earth, fire, water, wind, space, and me.

Silver Cross: God, life, emptiness, and self.

Golden Triangle: Life, Emptiness, and Self.

"Wayne, you already understand the concept of the Silver Cross. I've also told you about the Golden Triangle before. I'll repeat it here. The so-called Life, Void, and I are..."

From the hexagram to the cross, and then to the final stable triangle, the magician must maintain balance in every step. But when advancing, he needs to break the balance, split and overlap, and regain balance again.

Life is the essence of life, emptiness is knowledge, and I is thinking. This is the top priority of the golden triangle and must be balanced.

The three coexist and influence each other. Once the balance is broken, the consequences will be disastrous.

A similar example is when the Golden Mage entered the Gate of Truth, a large amount of knowledge poured into his body, and he gradually understood everything. His thinking was polluted, which affected the essence of his life. He would evolve towards a void life and become a complete monster.

Not to mention the Golden Mage, even the Legendary Mage couldn't stand it. Marshall, the Lord of the Void, and the Forgotten in the Madhouse, they all lost their balance, not only their minds were crazy, but their bodies were also out of human concept.

This is also the reason why Anastasia, the Saint of the Dark Church, gave up looking for the body. The polluted body has irreversibly changed the essence of life, so it would be useless even if it was found.

Similarly, because she had lost her life essence, Anastasia's mind had been extremely tormented, her balance was broken, and she relied entirely on the divine power of the three chosen knights to survive.

Nature, the sun and the moonlight reshaped a new body for her, barely filling in the missing life essence.

The false essence of life is ultimately an external object, no matter how good it is, it is not your own. Anastasia can only linger on and cannot move forward. Moreover, because of the falsehood, her mind is tired and weak, and she cannot rest without a peaceful balance.

"The process of advancement is very simple. Split the 'God' in the Silver Cross and integrate it into Sora and Me. Then, balance the three of them, and you will become a Gold Mage."

Xi Fei said solemnly: "Teacher is right, your silver cross is extremely strong. I don't have the ability to help you break the balance. It is unrealistic to rely on your own efforts. You must use external objects."

The process of promotion requires external forces, relying only on oneself...

Metaphorically, Wayne grabbed himself by the collar and lifted himself up on the spot.

You know it's unreliable as soon as you hear it. It's better to step on your right foot with your left foot. People with strong butt strength know that when you step on your right foot with your left foot, you can use nitrogen to accelerate and spiral into the sky on the spot.

Back to the point, Wayne is too balanced and he can't break his own balance. Sifty hopes Senna can help him break through the shackles and complete the transformation from silver to gold.

Senna was helpless. Breaking the balance counted as an attack. She was the only one present who couldn't hurt Wayne. She could only say, "You have a perfect elf form. Perhaps you can use the power of nature."

This reminded Wayne that the last time he broke through the silver stage and split and reorganized the hexagram, it was all thanks to the power of nature.

Now that he has gathered the five chosen ones from God, the five magic stones have been recharged, and he can communicate with nature more smoothly. Perhaps he can really do it.

This is sure!

Wayne nodded and did what he said. He activated the five magic stones in front of his chest and instantly entered the perfect elf form.

"Gulp!" x3
Heaphy raised her hands to cover her face and didn't hit Veronica.

Everyone loves beauty, so it’s no wonder that the daughter is greedy. Who can withstand such a test? At least she, as a mother, almost couldn’t withstand it.

Xifei admitted that it made sense that her son was popular with women, and she couldn't put the blame on her son just because there were often beautiful women throwing themselves at him.

He really wants to be a monogamous, loyal and good man for life, but the conditions do not allow it!

Wayne closed his eyes and felt the nature, listened to the sounds of all things, and told nature about his desires, asking people not to pity him just because he was a delicate flower, and to use whatever skills he had, because if someone said something wrong, he would be a nobody.

Nature, without exerting any force, celebrated the balance within Wayne and demonstrated its own balance.

After some communication, Wayne stopped helplessly: "Failed. When I communicate with nature, I become a part of nature, and balance is formed. I cannot use balance to break the balance."

Wayne's elf form was too perfect, and due to his high level and proficiency, he lost the possibility of self-attack.

"What should I do?"

Wayne dispersed his elf form and heard three sighs of regret. He shrugged and put on his clothes: "I'll go find Mr. Mura. Calculating the time, it's time to learn swordsmanship."

----

Natural seal place.

The sealed places chosen by the five gods all have their own unique styles and landforms, the glacier full moon in the moonlight, the red land rising in the sun, the swamp fog area of ​​death, and the dark valley night.

In this natural sealed place, towering trees stand tall, their branches and leaves intertwined, forming a green curtain covering the sky.

When you step into it, you can feel the soft moss and smell the moist soil in the air. The vibrant scene where all things compete with each other is still before your eyes.

Mula leaned against a big tree, holding a green leaf and playing the piano. The melodious tune echoed in the woods, attracting a large number of goblins to stop and watch.

When the song ended, the goblins chirped and clapped their hands, and presented the wreaths they had woven to Mura.

"Excuse me, Mr. Mulla."

"Wayne..."

Mura looked at his successor, who was also the successor of Leo and Delain, with a complicated expression. He already knew the specific situation and deeply admired Wayne's determination to stay in the frozen land and not choose to escape.

Like Leo and Draene, Mura believed that there must be a deep meaning behind the three gods' joint election. The three goddesses were willing to break the rules, probably because Togugye was coming with great force, and the goddesses felt that the three gods' chosen ones were not capable enough, so they temporarily found a substitute.

Being a substitute is still good, the only thing I’m afraid of is that Wayne is just a cannon fodder.

Thinking of this, Mura was quite helpless. He believed that Wayne's qualifications were far superior to his own. No matter who his successor was, he would achieve great success in the future. It was a waste for him to be a cannon fodder.

Mura thought so, and so did Leo and Delain. It was certainly a good thing to have someone die for you, but with their pride, they would never do so.

With this idea in mind, Wayne has been very busy recently, traveling to three places to learn swordsmanship, gunmanship and archery.

The three teachers used intensive cramming education to try to make Wayne fat in one go. It would be great if they could make him strong in the shortest possible time and escape the cruel fate of being cannon fodder.

As for who Wayne's successor would be in the future, all three of them knew it.

It must be me! x3
"Wayne, it's time to practice swordsmanship again. Today's class is very heavy. Are you mentally prepared?"

"Mr. Mulla, the course is not urgent for now. I have more important things to do."

Wayne explained his purpose, and then said: "The risk is too great. I hope to be promoted to a golden mage during this critical period. I know that my strength is insufficient, but the stronger I become, the more likely I am to win. I really hope to help everyone."

As it should be, you have to become stronger to survive!
Mura had no reason to refuse, so he stepped forward to check Wayne's body, combed it briefly, nodded and praised: "You are so good, I have never seen such a stable Silver Cross."

It is indeed stable. Other people’s silver cross is just a +, but Wayne’s cross is still unstable, so he specially welded four frames.

It feels great when welding, I feel like it's very stable. But it's extremely difficult to disassemble, I want to delete the account and start over.

"Mr. Mulla, can you handle this?"

"give it to me."

Wayne sat down cross-legged, and Mura stood behind him, his white life armor glowing with light. He said cheerfully, "Wayne, I'm very happy that you came to see me. Remember to regard yourself as my successor and stay away from Leo and Delain."

It's rolled up!

Leo and Delain both said the same thing.

Wayne nodded: "Mr. Mura, no matter what the outcome is, I will be your successor."

Mura was overjoyed. He protected Wayne with his surging life force, and then poured powerful life energy into Wayne's body. While reducing the pain as much as possible, he hit the solid silver cross hard.

boom!
There was a buzzing in Wayne's ears, his mind was spinning, and he was dizzy and dazed by the powerful blow.

He calmed down and found that his silver cross was as steady as an old dog, and did not change in the strong impact...

I can't say there is none at all, it's deformed and a little crooked.

As I was thinking about it, I recovered.

Mura looked embarrassed. With his power as the chosen knight of God, he thought he could succeed with one strike. Unexpectedly, he still underestimated Wayne's talent.

"Just now I was just testing it. This time we're going to do it for real. Be patient. It's probably going to hurt."

"No problem. We don't shed tears in peacetime, but we shed blood in war."

"well said!"

Mura nodded with relief, and his mind reshaped his life energy, which surged into Wayne's body. He summed up the lessons of his recent failure and re-planned his strategy.

The white light split into eight, cutting off the four borders and two cross lines of the silver cross.

boom! ! !
The silver cross fell apart, and Wayne was in a trance for a moment. He woke up in an instant after Mura's stern shout. According to the advice of Xifei and Senna, he split the "God" as quickly as possible and dispersed it to the sky and me.

God is the guide of the silver stage and the faith, and is closely related to fate, emptiness and self.

The hexagram is upgraded to the cross star, and God is formed by splitting and condensing the void and me. The cross star is upgraded to the triangle star, and then God is broken up and integrated into the void and me. Strictly speaking, silver is the preparatory stage for gold, and all efforts are for a stable golden triangle.

Wayne's silver cross was extremely stable, so stable that it could recover its balance at an incredibly fast speed. Once Mura left his hand, the silver cross returned to normal, still as steady as an old dog that could not be shaken by thunder.

Mura was amazed and said that one should never stop learning. However, Wayne was not so happy. The split God was difficult to integrate into the sky and me, so he had to ask Mura for help to further crush the God.

It is best to break it into small particles for easier absorption.

This was not a problem for Mura, he did it easily.

Three hours later, Mura withdrew his hand with a strange look on his face, and said to Wayne, who looked exhausted: "Your silver cross is too strong. It is normal to fail in your first realm breakthrough. Don't be discouraged. With a good start, there will definitely be a good ending."

Wayne nodded. It was indeed a good start. The balance in his body was broken and he could split the silver cross independently. If it weren't for the incredibly large amount and the long time it took to absorb it, three hours would be enough for him to do it.

"Go back and have a good rest. I won't practice swordplay today."

Mura gave two instructions, looked at Wayne's departing back, frowned, and raised his hand to wave it away in the air.

Two white light screens opened, revealing the faces of Leo and Delain.

"Mura, what's going on? Has the seal changed?"

"The seal hasn't changed, but I think it should have changed a bit."

"What do you mean?"

"Wayne just came to me and asked me to help him become a golden mage..."

"What? He didn't come to see me?" x2
"Uh, that's not important."

Mura cheerfully advised the two not to get angry, explaining: "After all, Wayne knew me first. It's normal that he would think of me first for such an important matter as advancement."

"..." x2
Leo looked displeased, and Delain started scolding him.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Wayne's promotion to a golden mage is inevitable. He is ready to sacrifice himself. This makes me feel ashamed. Since I became the goddess's knight, I have never let a child rush in front of me."

Mura's expression was stern: "How is the Dark Knight? Can he defend his sealed land?"

"No up, no down."

"enough."

"That's good!"

Mura nodded, looked at the two and said, "I plan to let Wayne guard the Death Knight's seal area, and the three of us will rush over and cut off all of Togugeye's tentacles."

Simply defending will not help them get out of this predicament. None of the three are Franks and their defensive experience is limited. All conditions are ripe now and it is time to blow the clarion call for a counterattack.

"Mura, I have no problem with that, but will Wayne and the Dark Knight be okay?"

Leo pondered, he also wanted to counterattack, but no one could afford the cost of failure. He couldn't ignore the risks that the entire God's Chosen Continent would have to bear just because of his passion to take care of Wayne.

"Just defense, the Dark Knight can do it, but can Wayne do it?" asked Delain.

"It won't work just relying on Wayne, because the power of the knights is in our hands. But it will be different if we add Anastasia. She has our power in her body, and Wayne can control her body." Mura said thoughtfully.

"..." x2
Sure, you can, but what about Anastasia?
"Mura, Anastasia will die. The chances of survival are slim."

"I asked. This was her wish. She couldn't hold on any longer."

"What a pity, she shouldn't have died here..."
