Chapter 311 Reflections on the Holy Embryo of Power, Comprehending the Transformation Technique

When the Destiny Dragons of the archipelago were united by being bestowed with their true names, the luck buff Linbo received became increasingly stable, and as long as he remained within the territory of the Kening Empire, the buff would not be reduced.

The luck effect is indeed useful; the Dragon of Knin anchors the correct choice for the mage from the countless holy embryonic plans operating within his profound mind.

Although each breakthrough only brings small progress, overcoming one of tens of millions of problems, this stroke of luck is endless, keeping Lin Bo in a state of constant inspiration.

His next target is the Holy Embryo of Power.

Force represents the repulsive force that separates matter from each other, causing the universe to expand at an accelerated rate. In contrast, there is gravity, which is based on the effect of spacetime distortion.

If we consider gravity as spacetime contracting towards the center of mass, then the effect of force energy is spacetime expanding from the center of mass. This process would completely tear matter apart at the microscopic level, like inflating a balloon until it exceeds its limit and explodes.

The Sixth Ring Disintegration spell works just like that. When the spell hits, it creates a force field effect area. If objects within this area cannot escape or effectively counteract it in time, they will turn to ashes.

Lin Bo's usual dragon language incantation, "Propelling Power," can also create a powerful energy wave that blows away everything in its path, including the atmosphere, living things, and objects. Even space itself is disturbed. If someone is unlucky enough to be enveloped and swallowed by this energy wave, they will be pulverized.

This energy field is more commonly known in theoretical studies of natural philosophy, where scholars call it "dark energy," a hypothetical physical quantity used to explain the accelerated expansion of the universe and the accelerated relocation of galaxies.

It is the crown jewel of technological civilization, requiring an extremely high level of development before one can truly begin to delve into its research capabilities.

However, spellcasters have long been able to access this fundamental element of the universe. They first use magical energy to generate a repulsive force, and then constrain this repulsive force into specific forms, crafting them into armor, shields, weapons, and even wall structures and invisible servants.

Power is like moisture in the air to a spellcaster; it can be transformed into frost, rain, and snow according to their will.

Weak force can only deflect arrows, while powerful force is enough to tear apart matter and spacetime fields.

The time-space generator built into the storage box Lin Bo bought last year is based on the application of dark energy to create a pocket universe. When technology develops to this level, its manifestations become similar to magic.

Because Lin Bo had a relatively good theoretical foundation in natural philosophy and magic, he had a lot of information to refer to when designing the Power Embryo.

He plans to create a receptor that can capture the effects of force and energy, much like creating a cochlear implant that can hear the dark energy that permeates the universe. The "fluid" inside this cochlea will not be biomass, but "ether".

When the High Philosopher's Stone was being refined, one of the ingredients was ether, a primordial substance of chaos, often regarded in alchemy as the "fifth element" of the universe.

Aetheric beings are not hindered by physical entities; they can pass through walls and rocks and enter nothingness, but they can be blocked by force field walls.

Etheric matter can easily capture force effects, much like a developer. No other method of detecting force is as accurate and sensitive as an ether detector.

Since the true name of the ether is a dragon language rune, even magical matter cannot sustain it for long. Therefore, Lin Bo could foresee that his condensed Holy Embryo would gradually lose its hearing over time and would need to re-inscribe the true name of the ether every sixty years or so.

This fact stirred a slight sense of melancholy in Lin Bo as he performed his calculations. Time, after all, would take something away from the now-immortal mage.

Deducing the structural scheme of the energized primordial embryo is more difficult. Although there is a successful case of the primordial magnetic embryo as a reference, the difficulty of observing dark energy is far greater than that of observing electromagnetic fields.

With the assistance of the Destiny Dragons, Lin Bo was able to compress the research time, which he had estimated to be three months, into about forty days.

He did not devote all his energy to this matter, but continued to maintain his original pace, gradually refining the Yuan Magnetic Holy Embryo and upgrading the Remote Sensing Technique.

With his Mantra Transfiguration Technique upgraded to Lv3, Lin Bo could once again attempt to comprehend the fragments of knowledge.

The "Step into the Dream of the Great" book I bought earlier is still sitting in my backpack. The advanced features of the Life Control Technique are really hard to grasp.

Even though the spirits of today possess highly developed simulation intelligence, enabling the things they create to act like living individuals, the mage understands that this forced mechanical simulation does not conform to the essence of magic.

Simulated intelligent life forms have an upper limit on their number and capabilities, while the Art of Life Management pursues a state of infinity.

Only by understanding the essence of using the art of controlling flow to propel the art of controlling life can one go further.

Before dawn, the mage sat on the rocky beach at the headland, having just finished practicing his Double-Blade Whirlwind Technique. He was now bathed in the cool night breeze, watching the stars reflected on the waves. He stroked the newly purchased fragment of knowledge, "List of Treasures of the Lost Kingdom," in his hand, pondering to himself.

The advancement of the Life Control Technique has always been a thorn in his side. He sees his proficiency in this skill improving day by day, and he will be able to meet the upgrade requirements in another half month, but he still cannot meet the restrictions. This is indeed an urgent problem.

"The ultimate essence of the Five Controls, the Flow Control Technique, is to revive from the annihilation of the Absolute Control Technique."

Lin Bo could vaguely grasp some of the key points.

He once believed that the advancement of the "transformation" characteristic of the Life Control Technique was to infuse inanimate objects with life force.

By incorporating elements such as emotion, memory, and behavioral logic, the system simulates all the appearances of "living things," allowing creations to continue to exist and develop even without the control of magic.

But he always doubted the validity of this idea.

Pure steel, without a power source to give it energy, can never become a living organism.

Magic can create steel golems, bring inanimate objects to life, and imbue them with false souls; this is not difficult.

However, these magical creations are not "pure" because to create such a living thing using the Art of Life, at least two incantations need to be activated simultaneously: the material of the creation and the magical energy injected into it.

Lin Boneng realized that True Word Manipulation was a very pure skill. The moment he became a True Name Mage and possessed the power of Word Spirit, he already had the basic conditions to perform Manipulation.

Even a Level 1 True Name Mage is qualified to practice Mantra Control to the highest level without having to unlock any other class traits.

The ability to activate two Words of Power simultaneously is only available at Lv5, after unlocking the second-tier Words of Power class trait.

Lin Bo was certain that the "vitality" pursued by the advanced Life Control Technique was not the life experience of all things in nature, but a different kind of clearer and grander vitality that originated from the mage's heart, allowing the form of things to flow according to the mind.

However, his mindset and aspirations did not align with this vitality, which is why he was unable to grasp the essence of it for a long time.

When Lin Bo was practicing the Double-Edged Whirl Dance, he used his spiritual power to deduce a dance style that suited his own style, pursuing precision in posture, transmission of power, and maximum muscle training, while having no requirements for the aesthetics of the movements.

Such a cold and detached pace has formed a unique style, greatly improving the efficiency of acquiring proficiency, but when moving, the dancer's passion and flamboyance are not visible at all.

The monk sighed and pressed the tattered scroll in his hand.

Opening the "List of Lost Treasures of the Lost Kingdom" costs 6000 Disaster Coins, which he paid casually.

[Important reminder from the website: You have opened a fragment of knowledge and learned the words of unblocking]

[The ancient kingdom of the gods, residing in the heavens, was destroyed four hundred million years ago. We were tasked with compiling a record of all that was lost, and it is now documented. The stars and the moon are but rubble and bricks, while the moral law and sacred texts are the true treasures.]

The fragments of knowledge, shaped like silver scrolls, emitted a light, distant, and multicolored glow, like the colors inspired by various stardust piled together.

[The skill [Transfiguration] has encountered a critical bottleneck; the Knowledge Fragment will provide the solution.]

[Important Notice from the Web: The Lost Kingdom Relics List is taking stock of the objects you've transformed into. It admires your transformation skills, but doesn't appreciate your performance attitude...]

[Temporary features have been added. Please find out the true nature of these features before resealing the knowledge fragments.]

Lin Bo looked up at the sky in the spiritual dimension, where the true names of the constellations representing natural things shone brightly. Looking at the mountains, rocks, plants, waves, and wind that appeared in his mind, he immediately understood that the effect of the Lv4 Mantra Transformation was to be able to transform into inanimate natural things.

He softly activated his incantation, and his body suddenly disintegrated and collapsed, turning into a white mist that spread from the rocky beach and gradually enveloped the cape.
