Chapter 1505 Clues
No guardian was found, but the abyss door built in the lava was quite special.
Not only is it soaked in lava on the side of the abyss, there are flamingos inhabiting and breeding around it. On the side of the Lost World, the door to the abyss was opened in the lava of a volcano, and was also completely soaked.
It can be said that if it were not for the reconnaissance of the World Tree, Lin would not have realized that there was a fully opened abyss door in the lava of the volcano. But on this side of the Lost Lands, there wasn't a large group of firebirds living in the crater.
On this side of the Lost Land, the volcano where the Gate of the Abyss is located is within the territory of a king-level monster.
It was a huge white manticore, not only powerful but also highly poisonous. Just by getting close to it, not only will you be intimidated by the terrifying power of the King of Warcraft, but you will also be corroded by the poisonous gas. A slightly weaker creature may die on the spot.
Lin once thought that this manticore king was the guardian of this abyss door.
However, after questioning, it was confirmed that the Manticore King did not even know that there was an abyss gate in his territory. In addition, it came to the vicinity more than a hundred years ago and grew into a king-level monster.
It also does not have the characteristics of symbiosis with the Gate of the Abyss and acquiring the attribute of immortality. Various evidences show that this king-level monster should have nothing to do with the Gate of the Abyss, and of course it cannot be the guardian.
The reason why he occupies this territory centered on the volcano is because it has special power that cannot be found anywhere else, allowing the Manticore King to constantly climb beyond his limits. Now it seems that it is the depraved temptation nicknamed the "whispering of the abyss".
In other words, this white manticore king continues to occupy this territory. Over time, it will become a demonized manticore king, and even further degenerate into a demon. But no matter how it changes, it should still have nothing to do with the position of 'Guardian'.
At least Lin couldn't see the Manticore King resonating with the Gate of the Abyss. Moreover, this door has existed for a long time. If it really had a guardian, it should have been created endless years ago. It’s not just now that a lucky person is suddenly chosen to occupy this vacancy.
And opposite this special door, that is, on the abyss side. There is no one in the Firebird clan who is like a ghost town, and there is no understanding person in it. Likewise, there is no special Firebird that coexists with the Gate of the Abyss.
The biggest reason why firebirds will stay in such a place is that the volcanic terrain is the best place for them to grow.
Although other demons also like volcanic terrain, they definitely don't have the same substantive needs as the firebirds. Therefore, the Firebird clan will risk their lives to protect this territory in the abyss.
The Firebirds knew that there was an abyss door in the magma that could lead to the Lost Lands. But they didn't care, and they never thought about passing through the Gate of the Abyss and running to the side of the Lost World to develop.
Magma pools are everything to them. Although the Midi side is also a terrain with active volcanoes and magma, it lacks a flavor compared to the Abyss side. So they didn't consider migration or expansion, they just guarded the volcano.
According to its original purpose, this abyss door without a guardian should have the least reference value.
But Lin spent the most time looking for the reason why there were no guardians here. Or maybe there is already a guardian, but I didn't find it.
Is it bacteria? Or a virus, an organism so tiny that it cannot be seen with the naked eye?
Or maybe there are other factors that make this abyss door 'stable' and no longer need a guardian to look at the door.
He thought so because Lin didn't think from the beginning that the real purpose of the guardian was to look after the family and prevent stowaways from appearing on both sides. The symbiotic relationship between the Gate of the Abyss and the Guardian must have other purposes.
If this special door to the abyss really does not have a guardian, it means that it has fulfilled a certain condition, so there is no need for a guardian. Even if no one is watching the open door, it still serves a purpose.
In order to find out whether there were any differences that fit this characteristic, Lin began to conduct a comprehensive environmental reconnaissance on both sides of the Abyss Gate.
Don't look at the fact that both the Lost Land and the Abyss have living creatures. In fact, the environmental composition of the two places is obviously different. It is said that the composition of the air in Midland is similar to that of the earth. Nearly 80% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and the rest is composed of special ingredients. These tiny details are a little different from the earth.
However, the difference in the air of the abyss is even greater. As an inert filling gas, nitrogen only accounts for less than 60%. Oxygen is close to 30%, and even carbon dioxide, which originally accounted for less than one thousandth in the abyss, has a proportion of close to 3 to 5% in the abyss.
The trace elements are even more abundant and even contain substances harmful to the human body. Normal people who stay in an abyss environment for a long time will be tortured to death by diseases if they are not demonized.
But as long as they can survive this test and adapt to the harmful parts, the creatures in the abyss will be more powerful than their counterparts in the Lost Lands. Of course, my mind is even more unclear.
But since the air part is inconsistent on both sides, it shouldn't be the focus that someone needs to pay attention to. In fact, just by investigating and recording the differences between the Lost Land and the Abyss, Lin didn't know what he was looking for. We can only collect as much information as possible and try to learn something from it.
Maybe they are looking for similarities, or maybe they are really looking for differences. The greater possibility is that you are working in vain.
But the most fundamental thing about science is trial and error. Even if you work in vain, it proves that these methods do not work.
So strictly speaking, this is neither a waste of time nor nothing gained. It's just that I didn't get satisfactory results, so I felt a little unhappy.
It is not difficult to arrange monitoring devices on both sides of the eight opened abyss doors.
And the full version of the Arcane Eye 'completely records' all data information in the space where it is located. What ordinary magicians call is only one or two tenths, and they are mainly image data.
But in fact, the Arcane Eye records more things. As time goes by, the amount of information has grown exponentially. All these make it more difficult to access and compare information, especially when you are not sure which ones are useful and which ones are not.
As long as there is doubt about some information, someone will go to the scene and observe it on the spot. Even if you have the Flash Technique nearby, you have to go to eight locations at a time to review, which is quite time-consuming.
Even if he couldn't find what he wanted to see in the end, Lin would only dare to lower the priority of this message instead of directly excluding it from the watch list. Ultimately, the whole operation feels a bit like finding a needle in a haystack.
But it was just a blind search, and someone actually found something weird. There are countless inconsistent data on both sides of the Abyss Gate, the Midland side and the Abyss side. If there is a set of data that completely matches, it may be regarded as a coincidence.
But when this match is continuous, that is, there is change, the worlds on both sides will fluctuate with the same magnitude at the same time. When this abnormal phenomenon appears in eight different places at the same time, it may not be considered a coincidence.
Lin further studied this pair of data and found that this was a special kind of radiation. And it is not any type of radiation known to anyone on Earth.
Instead of studying what kind of new type of radiation this was, Lin was more curious about why such a completely consistent thing appeared in the different worlds on both sides of the Gate of the Abyss. Even though both the Mysterious Land and the Abyss have eight powers, there are actually some differences in details.
At least if you use the power of the abyss too much, you will have the suspicion of being assimilated, that is, demonized. Analyzed from this perspective, there is no private goods carried by the will of the abyss in the power of the abyss, which is as ridiculous as saying that college girls are all virgins.
And this radiation waveform data really exists in someone’s database...
The subdimensional tower that someone serves as the foundation, the energy pool at the top, was originally designed to absorb the chaotic energy in the dimensional gaps. Filter it into magical energy that is regular and safe to use.
Since the establishment of the Dream Tower, this work of absorbing energy from other dimensions has been going on, and the results are getting better and better. But someone can only transform a single type of magical energy for use by the magic array runes engraved on the Dream Tower and subsequent subdimensional towers.
A major drawback of this is that the magic engraved on the subdimensional tower has an independent energy supply, so it is not expensive to use. But when it comes to using magic driven by the eight kinds of powers, you can only use the meager knowledge accumulated over a long period of time because of your poor talent.
This means that someone can play infinite flash; but if he throws fireballs, he may throw ten of them and stop. And there will also be the sequelae of mental weakness after the power is cleared.
So in the past twelve years, in addition to studying his extra three teachings, he also further upgraded the subdimensional tower. Allow it to produce eight kinds of powers to make up for its own natural weaknesses.
Twelve years ago, because he mistakenly entered the zero-dimensional space, someone's subdimensional tower energy pool was upgraded to an energy source with white hole and black hole exchange as the core. It is no longer the original chaotic energy form that draws from the dimensional gaps.
This is a welcome upgrade. This means that the subdimensional tower can be separated from the strange position of the dimensional gap, and there will be no doubt about lack of energy wherever it appears.
But in order to create the eight powers, Lin reintroduced the chaotic energy of the dimensional rift.
The final result is also quite gratifying, that is, he can convert eight kinds of powers from two energy cores. The specific conversion method was determined with Fen's help.
After all, in the era when the original lich was active, there was no such thing as eight powers. On the contrary, there are eight distinct schools of magic. Each school represents a source of magic, and each school also has its own complete and similar magic system.
In order to thoroughly understand the ways of using magic in the new era, Fen also spent a period of hard work and adaptation. It can be said that the moment after she was resurrected was her weakest moment. But even the weakest one is still stronger than someone at the same time, and the gap is still disappointing.
In short, with Fen's help, Lin doesn't have to first produce some kind of pure energy in the secondary plane tower, and then convert this pure energy into eight kinds of powers. If this method is used, there is no need to reintroduce the chaotic energy of the dimensional gap.
As we all know, every conversion will produce losses and may produce unpredictable surprises. The more conversions there are, the more energy is wasted and the higher the chance of an accident.
Therefore, this method of directly producing eight kinds of powers without making secondary conversions is not just about improving someone's strength, but a big step-by-step improvement.
However, the disadvantage is not without it, that is, the subdimensional tower loses the possibility of leaving the dimensional gap. Unless someone plans to downgrade the subdimensional tower back to its original form.
