I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

It’s hard not to notice.

Thinking this, Mingxian waved his hand, summoned a virtual window, and let his three girlfriends know he was safe. Only then did he remember Claudia and let her know he was safe as well.

After all, it was he who asked Claudia to call him.

Fan Xinglu smiled with satisfaction, staring at Mingxian, and said, "Is that so? It seems that everyone in the conglomerate has been wrong. You are not some kind of magic king, but an existence above that."

Mingxian asked, "What do you mean?"

"The winner."

Fan Xinglu laughed happily, "Just like how humans are born because they are 'alive,' even a beast called 'human' will instinctively pursue 'alive.'"

"Your birth was not due to innate talent, hard work, bloodline, or destiny."

"But victory!"

"So you will instinctively pursue victory."

At this point, Fan Xinglu paused, then slowly stood up. Even from a distance, one could feel the other person's excitement and eagerness.

That was the look on his face when he saw delicious food and couldn't wait to taste it.

Even if the food is highly poisonous, I would not hesitate to eat it.

That's who she is.

"Magic King, would you like to have a match with this old woman?"

After the words were spoken, Mingxian did not reply. He was slightly lost in thought, not because the other party's emotions were so strong that they surpassed his girlfriend's love, but because of the information the system was conveying at this moment.

[Character discovered that can be romanced: Fan Xinglu]

This child looks only a few years old!

Although his actual age is not that, he is an immortal who has lived from the Tang Dynasty to the present day.

However, this body is indeed very young!

Is anyone going to take care of this system?!

For a moment, Mingxian even considered calling the police.

Even more unbearable to look at are the system's terrible ideas.

[Suggestion: Approve of "If I win, you must give up your virginity" to agree to the other party's request, and then defeat them spectacularly.]

Military Police! Military Police!

This is the person!

Mingxian sighed, ignoring the system's idiotic suggestion, and scratched his head. "Xinglu, is it okay if I call you that? My girlfriend seems to call you that..."

Fan Xinglu said "Oh," and then smiled, "Girlfriend, you mean Sylvie?"

"sure."

"I don't care about these formalities. As long as my desires are satisfied and I can experience the joy of battle, that's enough."

Mingxian said, "You should know that curse power is spiritual energy that surpasses the power of stars, right?"

Having witnessed numerous battles between the Knights, surely they possess this level of discernment?

"Magic King, do you really think that the outcome of a battle is such a simple matter of comparing sizes?" Fan Xinglu retorted. "There are countless examples throughout history of the weak defeating the strong. Besides, does a battle with a huge disparity in strength mean nothing?"

"The joy of battle."

“It won’t decrease because of such a superficial reason as ‘strength or weakness’.”

Upon hearing this, Mingxian sincerely replied, "You misunderstood. What I meant was that curse power is a metaphysical thing, a logical chain that connects unrelated phenomena and concepts."

"This metaphysical chain of logic has a crushing effect on the physical chain of logic."

"In short, my magical power is so high that I can ignore all your spells."

"As for martial arts, with your current physique, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to unleash half of your skills."

As soon as she finished speaking, Fan Xinglu raised one hand and waved it slightly in mid-air.

The entire hall suddenly twisted and distorted, as if it had become the interior of a kaleidoscope, spinning back and forth.

The spiritual energy, under the spell she had woven, instantly rushed towards the resounding string.

Bang!

Like an egg hitting a rock, porcelain falling to the ground, glass being struck by a hammer...

All Star Immortal Techniques become ineffective the moment they come into contact with the Ringing String. Even large-scale Star Immortal Techniques without a specific target, rather than those aimed at the Ringing String, will instantly become ineffective.

Seeing this, Fan Xinglu deflated like a punctured balloon and said, "What a pity. My martial arts skills are now only half of what they used to be. Although the Star Immortal Technique is more powerful because of the spiritual energy filling the world, it is useless against an opponent like you... I really can't enjoy myself to the fullest."

Mingxian comforted her, saying, "This is normal."

"It's a pity I don't have any magical power, otherwise I could have found a way to restore my body," Fan Xinglu said with great regret.

Mingxian replied, "I don't think that magical power is that powerful."

“Young man, it’s not surprising that you would have such thoughts.” Fan Xinglu raised her hand, and a wisp of energy swirled between her fingers. It was a very weak spell, so weak that it couldn’t even be considered a flame.

According to World 492, they are mortals with only a few drops of divine blood.

Mingxian: "Don't you also have magical power?"

Fan Xinglu waved her hand, asking Mingxian to sit down, and began to brew tea.

“There is a lot of spiritual energy in the multiverse. According to your understanding, these spiritual energies actually exist in a logical chain.”

"This logical chain connects 'phenomena and concepts at the material level' with 'thoughts at the conscious level,' just like the Star Immortal Technique I developed."

Star Immortal Technique is a unique technology of the Seventh Academy of the Realm Dragon.

After sensing the universal element, the technique uses moves, talismans, incantations, etc. to solidify and change things. It generalizes and systematizes the abilities of witches and magicians, allowing ordinary Star Generations to develop similar abilities. People with this skill are generally called "Taoists".

Fan Xinglu explained, "There are thousands of kinds of spiritual energy, just like the various kinds of energy that existed in the science of the old days of mankind, such as electrical energy, thermal energy, magnetic energy, chemical energy..."

“These energies had no distinguishing significance to the ancients, nor was there any need to differentiate them.”

"Similarly, for beings with such powerful spells as you, there is no need to make special distinctions, since they will all be broken by higher spiritual energy anyway."

Mingxian neither confirmed nor denied this statement: "If it's just about combat, there's really no need to make a distinction. But I think it's quite remarkable that human civilization has used technology to build logical chains from the material world and create spiritual energy."

Fan Xinglu poured Mingxian a cup of tea and chuckled, "Both involve moving mountains. Humans move mountains one shovel at a time, while the gods move mountains directly. The result is the same, but the process is completely different."

Mingxian took a sip of tea and found it to be quite delicious.

Although he prefers sweet flavors.

After this period of investigation, the distinction between science and mystery has been made in the understanding of the zither.

Science is metaphysical, constructing logical chains between different substances, phenomena, concepts, and changes, ultimately changing the face of the entire universe.

This is a project far superior to the legendary Yu Gong moving mountains.

Mystery is metaphysical; it directly uses "logic chains" to change the face of the entire universe.

Why is the universe the way it is now?

Because that's what the gods think.

However, gods are also born from the universe, so they don't bring about overly outrageous changes. Therefore, the system calls them "independent variables".

Reincarnators and time travelers are not.

They might bring about "changes" that deviate from the underlying logic of the universe.

"However, I've only been in this world so far, and these things are still too far away. Maybe in another world, all these speculations and understandings will be meaningless."

Mingxian silently grumbled to himself.

Fan Xinglu propped her chin on her hand and continued, "Curse power is a type of spiritual energy. Its exact source might be the higher dimension you mentioned, but I believe..."

She paused for a moment before saying, "The power of the spell comes from fate."

Mingxian: "Fate?"

“Yes, the amount of magical power a person possesses is predetermined,” Fan Xinglu continued. “However, if a person’s fate changes and an ‘accident’ occurs in their life, that person’s magical power will also change.”

"My magical power actually comes from the increase in the weight of my soul. I participated too much in the Knight War, which is why I assimilated the power of my contracted beast."

“Divine blood is also one of the sources of magical power.” Mingxian nodded slightly. “I think there may be a world where there are no spiritual beings, only descendants of gods, who access the mystical through divine blood.”

Both World 235 and World 492 contain Netherworlds, but they differ in form and scale.

Since the Netherworld (higher dimensions) exists, there is naturally an opportunity to come into contact with the mysterious.

As the tradition was passed down from generation to generation, a group of psychics emerged on Earth.

Like the Onmyoji of the Shinto shrine, or the magic societies of Europe.

"If only I possessed more magical power," Fan Xinglu sighed.

Mingxian added, "As far as I know, the Knights War has been repeated eighty times. Stardew seems to have participated quite a few times, but not every time."

"Are you curious about me?" Fan Xinglu explained calmly, "Contracted beasts grant their contractors powerful abilities."

"Among them are many special powers, such as creating clones, flying, energy manipulation, and discharging electricity..."

"They are all mystical abilities."

"This also includes the power to see strange information."

Mingxian said, "Spiritual Vision, the ability to extract memories from the void."

“A very suitable name.” Fan Xinglu nodded slightly and continued, “I once launched ‘Spiritual Vision’ outside the world to observe the situation in other worlds.”

"The more I see, the more I feel the power of fate."

"Everyone is destined."

She paused for a moment, pointed to herself, and then to Mingxian.

"The 'logic chain' we possess is fixed, or you could say it's cursed power. The beings who break this fate are the transcendents, the immortals."

Mingxian looked at Fan Xinglu, a glint in his eyes.

Another talented person.

Although it relies on the power of divine beasts, if one were to move to world 235 or world 492, which are filled with magical power, one might be able to rely on one's own wisdom to become an existence at the level of a transcendent being.
