I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

However, Helena's words, "You are the evil god," did not affect Roland's resolve.

Because he already had his own understanding of Alaye—the spiritual sea is a spiritual world that is developed in the non-material plane, using the object of contemplation as an anchor.

Therefore, the spiritual world of a shaman who meditates by visualizing the wind is related to the wind.

Wizards who contemplate the stars and the sea have a spiritual world connected to the stars and the sea.

What I visualize is the Alaya. And the Alaya is the whirlpool in the ocean of the lower world.

Others' inner world is something they create themselves.

But one's inner world is not something that can be cultivated.

It has always existed—the great whirlpool (the shadow of Alaye) at the most chaotic center of the deep sea is one's own spiritual sea!
Roland clearly 'heard' Helena's complaints, but pretended not to hear them.

He blinked, pretending to have just come to his senses, and asked curiously, "What did you just say?"

Helena said, "Well, I mean, senior, you're amazing! Helena admires you so much. You're like a god; only a god could do that!"

But you clearly haven't fully ignited the divine fire. How strange.

Roland said, "The so-called ignition of the divine fire is nothing more than using the laws of the world (the divine fire) to elevate oneself to a higher dimension, allowing oneself to touch a deeper level of the world."

I already exist in that world, so why should I ignite a divine fire?

If the King of a Thousand Eyes were here, he would be very pleased—even if Roland suddenly understood this truth, he wouldn't instantly ignite his madness and transform into a mad god.

Helena didn't know the reason behind it, but she understood what Roland meant—he was the strongest demigod.

In mythology, demigods are those who inspire fear even in the gods.

"So, senior, on another note..."

Helena looked at Roland, who was reading a book in front of the bookshelf, and asked timidly, "You only used the snake ring as a 'clock anchor' to locate time, so it shouldn't have disappeared, right?"
Where is it now?

Roland said, "Didn't I just swallow the snake ring?"

Helena suddenly realized, and pointing at Roland in front of the bookshelf, she blurted out, "Oh! Helena understands! All we need to do is get him to put us in his belly too!"

"What do you mean 'he'? That's me."

Roland laughed heartily, then opened his mouth and inhaled, and Helena and Roland in front of the bookshelf were inhaled into his stomach like smoke.

Roland then stood there for a moment, seemingly sensing the situation within the Serpent Ring.

Then he repeated what he had said a few minutes earlier: "I did it! I did it!"

Then, Roland excitedly ran to the bookshelf and began flipping through the old scriptures, seemingly reviewing the relevant knowledge.

the other side.
In the magnificent and sacred hall, a tall and heroic young man and a lovely and mischievous girl entered.

The girl chattered and skipped along the way, like an excited little sparrow. She touched and fiddled with everything in the main hall, and occasionally banged her fist on the walls and pillars.

The young man possessed a composure far beyond his years, yet his eyes were filled with astonishment as he looked around the hall.

Soon, the two had toured the entire cathedral.

There are many more connected buildings on both sides and behind the cathedral.

These interconnected buildings are linked to the church by corridors and halls. The doors leading to these areas are enormous, often six or seven meters high, large enough for giants to pass through.

What's truly amazing is that when the two of them stood at a distance and looked at these gates, the corridors and halls inside the gates appeared as if they were paintings drawn on the outside of the gates.

But as the two approach the gate, the painting inside becomes more and more three-dimensional and realistic.

Once you get close enough, the painted corridors and halls become real.

The two walked directly through the door and into a large hall. For a moment, they didn't know whether the painting had come to life or they had stepped into the painting and become the people in it.

"Senior, senior! It's not a drawing, it looks real!"

"Hmm, it seems to be something based on the theory of building the 'End of the World,' but there's a huge gap in technology. What new technology has the Eastern Territory come up with this time? I haven't read a research paper in ages."

The young man and the young woman were Roland and Helena.

The magnificent church they were in was the 'Hall of Sanctuary'.

Or perhaps it should be called a 'sacred monastery'.

In front of it are the various buildings of the original cathedral, including the main chapel, side halls, prayer rooms, living quarters, study, indoor potion garden, and other rooms.

Many interconnected buildings appeared at the rear and on both sides, transforming the entire structure into a massive monastery.

These extended buildings are like paintings.

Not all paintings can be entered; some depict buildings that appear clearly incomplete, like unfinished paintings. And what these incomplete paintings depict are not complete buildings, but rather buildings under construction.

After some estimation, Roland discovered that there were actually only three 'Halls in the Painting' that could be entered, and the monastery area behind the 'Halls in the Painting' was also inaccessible.

Furthermore, the original structure of the Church of Sanctuary was not complete; in other words, one-third of the area was transformed into a painting.

These areas are mostly places like the church backyard and side chapels.

Finally, the walls, floors, and other areas inside the original sanctuary were covered with engraved magic matrices and crystal arrays, making it look somewhat out of place.

Now that all these things are gone, the Sanctuary looks even more sacred and solemn, but Roland doesn't know how to operate the Sanctuary anymore.

After thinking for a moment, Roland stretched out his finger and drew a circle in the air, muttering a magic spell: "Instruction manual, remote control, instruction manual, remote control."

This was the magic Roland originally used to summon the dozen or so instruction manuals and magic control books inside the Sanctuary.

Normal spells are certainly not like this, but he has no problem reciting them this way because, for him, spells have long since become something dispensable.

As Roland called out, a magic book that resembled an old scripture appeared out of thin air in his hand. This magic book seemed to be modified from some old scripture, and what surprised Roland even more was that when he was wandering around the Hall of Sanctuary, he had scanned the entire Hall of Sanctuary with his divine sense, but he had not found this book.

It's as if this book never existed; it appeared out of thin air.

"Is it possible?"

Roland's eyes flickered slightly. He flipped through the magic book for a while, and then a look of realization dawned on his face.

"Indeed, this book is a projection of the Sanctuary! It is part of the Sanctuary."

It turns out that after the wizarding community in the academic world made some upgrades to the Sanctuary, they used the Sanctuary as a base and a mystical summoning ritual to retrieve the book from the lower world.

Therefore, strictly speaking, this book was not created by wizards, but rather the Sanctuary was 'generated' by wizards through magical rituals.

According to the normal usage procedure, if someone wants to use this book, they need to use a spell to summon it.

It is part of the Church of Sanctuary, and also a small part of its shadow.

In Roland's words, that is 'spirit of the artifact'.

Throughout the process, the caster will see numerous divine runes leaping out from within the Sanctuary, and then these runes will gradually coalesce into this book.

But Roland's magic was a bit special, and he was also the true master of the Sanctuary. So he bypassed all the intermediate procedures and directly produced the book.

If 'Talas,' who provided theoretical support for the second phase of the Sanctuary's renovation, were to witness this scene, his eyes would surely widen in astonishment. He would then frantically have Roland reproduce the event several times, conduct further in-depth research and experiments, and write over a dozen new papers.

Normally, this book was formed from the power of the Sanctuary, not stored somewhere else.

Therefore, it did not exist before the Holy Hall used its power to condense it!
But Roland used an ordinary spell to summon this book that did not exist!

This is utterly incomprehensible. Therefore, something must have happened that is beyond the wizards' understanding of the existing world.

It's like someone going to the toilet, and the door is actually locked. But this person doesn't know the door is locked, so the lock doesn't exist; they don't unlock it, they just pull the door open!
Roland didn't dwell on these things. After studying the book for a while, he gained a thorough understanding of the current state of the Sanctuary.

He closed the book, looked at the sacred hall before him, and said in great shock, "In these twenty years, we have taken another step toward the throne of the Creator God in theory."

Roland had previously learned from Helena that Theresa and the others had brought some origami and oil paintings.

He initially thought that Theresa and the others had used these things to create a refraction node, like the entrance to the 'End of the World,' projecting the distant Sanctuary into his Serpent Ring.

Furthermore, he was quite certain that the Hall of Sanctuary was still in his senior's hands, so he originally thought that the Hall of Sanctuary in front of him was just a pipe dream.

Helena and Theresa knew that this was a deployed Sanctuary, but they were unaware of the technology it used. Therefore, they assumed it was a projection that could be used as a physical object.

But after reading the book, Roland was shocked to discover that the Sanctuary in the Serpent Ring was not a projection, but the real Sanctuary.

The professional magical engineering team from the Eastern Realm performed an operation on the Sanctuary.

Using the analogy of 'Taras,' it's like they cut the Holy Church in two, like slicing a cake.

However, instead of cutting the cake in half, they made a single cut and created two whole pieces of cake!

These two new cakes are almost identical to the original cakes in appearance, size, and quality!

According to Taras, theoretically, it's possible to make two cakes completely identical to the original. However, they haven't technically reached that theoretical level, so the resulting creations are slightly 'punk'.

In other words, the incomplete sanctuary still has some flaws.

Therefore, you can use it however you like for everyday use. However, if you are going to use the Sanctuary to its fullest potential, Taras suggests that it is best to let the two Sanctuaries 'collapse and unify' together before using them.

In any case, the wizards have verified an interesting logic to the existence of their world.

That is, 1 can be broken down into two 1s.

这两个1放在任何公式中去运算的时候，它们都能发挥出1的效果。比如1+2=3，1+3=4。

However, once 1 is broken down into two 1s, from now on, 1+1 will no longer equal 2, but will still equal 1!

'This logic is very interesting! It's extremely useful to me!'

There may be countless Rolandes in the world, but all Rolandes are one person!

'Hahaha! Taras's theory can not only give me a major breakthrough in epilepsy, but also help me find the path to the truth!'

You should definitely take a look at his papers when you have time!
Roland immediately recognized that Taras's theory was a profound deciphering of this mad world.

He provided a systematic answer to the relationship between the main world and parallel worlds!

This world has given rise to countless parallel worlds, each of which is 1—according to classical theory, the sum of these 1s should be infinite.

But in reality, when they are added together, they still equal 1!

Because, in essence, all parallel worlds are one world.

Everyone is also one person.
In any case, Taras and his group of high apprentices accomplished one thing—they created a parallel world, dividing the Sanctuary in two.

This is something only the creator god could do!

Therefore, Roland said, 'We have taken another step closer to the Creator God.'

Taras wrote the following passages in the white paper of the Sanctuary:
Through the Well of Faith, we glimpsed a glimpse of the Creator's power, deciphered it, and applied it to practice.

The Sanctuary is undoubtedly a perfect experimental subject, originating from the hand of an unparalleled Creator and bearing the deep imprint of parallel worlds. This perfect experiment allows us to bypass some technical difficulties that we would otherwise have to circumvent. It validates our theories within the current technological environment!
We'd be hard-pressed to find another subject like this. But we've made groundbreaking breakthroughs in fundamental magic.

I believe that as the countless treasures left by the Creators in the ruins of Chicheng are continuously unraveled, we will continually touch the hem of their garments, and perhaps even become one of them!

Taras and the other wizarding apprentices held an extremely optimistic view of the future. But strictly speaking, what he said was not an exaggeration.

Because all technological bottlenecks ultimately stem from fundamental theoretical foundations. Once these foundational theories are broken through, their application becomes merely a matter of time and investment. (End of Chapter)
