Act 266 The Realm of Sages (Part 1)

Brando has been thinking about this question for a long time: why after the era of saints, mortals can no longer cross the peak of the Plains and enter the realm of saints?

Perhaps it is because the sea of ​​magic has gradually calmed down over the past thousands of years, or perhaps because of the changes in the laws, mortals can no longer embark on this road to godhood.

So.

What is a sage?

This is the stairway that leads, beyond the gates of truth, to the kingdom of the gods. Only by becoming a sage can one be qualified to pursue the power of existence.

In the previous life, players used the War Stone to skip this necessary step, although they were able to perfect their bodies and possess the power of a demigod. But the law is incomplete after all. Everyone understands that this is a dead end. Those who set foot on it can no longer touch the supreme throne——

The power of existence.

However.

What is the relationship between the realm of sages and existence? What does that incomplete step mean?

After the trip to the elemental realm, Brando had a vague idea in his mind.

He opened his property panel and could clearly see that in the element column, there was text like this:

‘Will hit, pass, gap, stillness, stability, control——’

This is one of the manifestations of time and space in this world.

However, they are far from the whole story.

Time and space are one of the basic attributes of this world, the basic order and measurement method of the existence and evolution of everything.

This is a power that is infinitely close to the power of existence. How can their power be so simple?

Brando couldn't help but recall that when his element was born, its performance was simpler, in terms of description and ability in that column. In fact, there are only two:

'Stable, still -'

Yes, elements can grow.

Perhaps one day, they will grow from a narrow definition into a complete whole. From fragments of retrospection, stillness, flow, stability, coordinates and measurement, it grew into two words that encompass all elements:

time and space.

thus. Such an idea was born in his mind. It was like the birth of a galaxy, as if a universe was born and died in a breath.

Inspiration comes from a distant era.

In the legend described in the Epic of Blue, in an era when the gods have not yet fallen asleep, the law called tiamat is maintained by seventeen thousand gods, forming this world called 'Wornde'.

In this world, there are different gods. Under Martha, different laws and orders reign.

Different laws and orders are intertwined with each other to form everything seen in the world - mountains and rivers, the sun, moon and stars, the changing of the four seasons, the waking up of day and night, the flowing wind and clouds. Searing fire and light, and the elements, life and civilization.

At the lowest level of this web of laws. Seven thousand lesser gods govern the kingdom of God and the mortal world. The best among them are Kalidas, the god of pottery, who governs the laws of pleasure and art. In addition, there is the God of Winter, who governs the north wind, cold winter and midnight. goddess.

A follower of Kalidas, the god of wisdom Ra is also the sun god Perkin, in charge of the realm of wisdom and power; and the protector of the goddess of winter. It is Salamentus, the Lord of Eternity, the Lord of Wind, the Lord of the Wind Element, and one of the four main elves.

Further up, the main god of the wisdom pantheon. It is the Dragon Crystal of Wisdom, logic and magic are both its domains. And its old rival, the Blue Dragon Scourge, is in charge of the world's misfortune. Elements and destruction are its kingdom. It is the main god of all elemental gods.

Among the seven major gods, there are Tiamat, the dragon of war, Alphes, the dragon of rage, Darastair, the storm dragon, Emerald, the eternal dragon, and Blazing, the dragon of life. The dragons control the seven major areas of the world, so they are called the dragons of the world.

Logic and magic, elements and destruction, energy and order, fate and entropy, time and space, eternity and death, creation and life, constitute everything in the world.

And above them.

It is the power of existence.

It’s Martha’s crown—

In this pyramid-like stable structure, the domains and laws controlled by the gods are clearly visible from bottom to top, from low-level to high-level, and from trivial to complex.

From art and culture to wisdom, from wisdom to the field of thinking, and then from the ultimate wisdom of mortals to the logic and order of the entire world.

Since then, from the realm of Kalidas, the god of pottery, to the realm of crystal, the dragon of the world.

He remembered that night in Rosalin. In the warm light of the smuggler's camp fire, the occasional sparks from the charcoal fire, accompanied by a crackling sound, danced with the hot air and rose to the treetops.

The sparks and faint light represent one of the cornerstones of this world - elements and energy, and they respectively represent the god of the forge Li Xiusi, the lord of the fire element Mamensat, and the destroyer of all things in the world, the blue. The Domain and Realm of the Blue Dragon's Scourge.

then--

A door opened in Brando's heart. Behind the door, there was another brand-new world. In that world, there seemed to be a thunderous voice that repeatedly echoed in Brando's heart:

Welcome to the land of existence!

Elements are the cornerstone of the law.

On the other hand, the power of elements controlled by mortals is a microcosm of the laws and domains controlled by the gods.

Perhaps, the two are originally one.

From the realm of Kalidas, the god of pottery, we can ultimately trace it back to the end of worldly wisdom, the realm of the dragon crystal of wisdom; the sparks splashed from the anvil of Lysius, the god of the forge, will eventually fall back to At the bottom of the river of rushing flames, we came to the territory of the blue dragon's disaster.

Then from the weak and one-sided elements that mortals grasp, there may also be a path to existence.

The way to embark on this path is to keep trying and constantly improving the power of your own elements, which will eventually open the door to the realm of sages.

But there is still one last key left.

Brando once wandered in front of this gate. From Rosalin and his party to the battlefield of Fenhotos, he kept trying, but failed again and again.

Until White Tiamas opened the authority of the War Dragon for him during the battle against the Crystal Cluster.

In that battle. He finally understood everything.

Are his elements of time and space unique?

Obviously, it doesn't.

A thousand years ago, the legendary powerhouse of the Min'er people, the tyrant of the elements, and the elemental emperor Tumen also had such legendary elements.

Before Ciel changed his profession to a silver-robed mage. It also holds many fragments of the element of time.

How many supreme fire elements are there in this world?

The genius of the Cruz people, the sage of mortals, the Gilt of Fire may be the highest peak of mortals in the element of fire, but after this legend, the Temple of Fire, the Knights of the Flame, and the upper-class nobles of the Cruz people have masters. The highest level fire element is everywhere in people.

The same is true in Saint Osor and Faenzan; not to mention the famous soul elements of the undead in the land sheltered by the black rose of Bromando.

But in the realm of the gods. There is only one identical law.

That is to say.

In this world, there is only one god of pottery, Kalidas, only one god of the forge, Lixiost, only one god of wisdom, Ra, and only one master of the fire element, the elf king Mamensat.

Only one dragon can be called Crystal, and only one dragon can be called Scourge or Tiamat.

So, in this world. There will be only seven world dragons.

There will be only one existential power.

A crown that belongs to Martha.

So what is the gap between elements and laws? And the key to the kingdom of saints. Where was it lost?

When Brando finally saw the only answer through the authority given to him by Bai, it was like a light in the darkness, like a distant star, shining with the only light in a dark world.

Yes.

That is authority.

Just as the Silver Queen told him the secret about the gods - the authority of the gods. The authority of the Council of Truth, the authority of the people of God, the authority of the planeswalkers.

Why can there still be faith on the earth after the gods have passed away? The teachings left by the four sages. Why can they still give power to their believers?

Where did the holy magic of the four major temples come from?

Why is Owenroth called the dragon closest to the Dragon God? Why were the stars representing her already twinkling in the sky when she existed in this world?

Because the authority is already in their hands.

Sages are gods.

In the one thousand years after the War of the Saints, and even at the moment when the mortal era arrived, the path for mortals to the kingdom of gods was forever sealed.

On the earth, there are only those races that still retain supreme authority in their bloodline - such as managers, such as planeswalkers, such as members of the Council of Truth, such as the upper echelons of the Earth Legion, such as the Dragon of Darkness, such as the warriors of the gods , the golden generation, such as the glorious scholars, the silver generation.

Only then do you have the opportunity to open that door and become a mortal saint.

Until the War of the Saints, the magical tide a thousand years ago, and the changes in the world order, four annoying sages came into being, ushering in a vigorous era.

That time, the era of the last golden people was overturned and the era of mortal civilization multiplied on the earth was ushered in.

And it was not until a thousand years later that the great demonic tide came again. This time, the law of tiamat was completely changed, and the kingdom of saints and sages had been closed for an entire era. After the gods passed away and the Parliament of Truth fell apart, it was finally opened to mortals. The door.

And this time, it will bring something.

Brando doesn't know, and maybe no one will know.

He raised the Holy Sword Odysseus flatly and felt the power flowing through his body. It was completely different from the power of elements. It was connected with the world and intertwined with each other, as if everything was changing with every move. You can feel the time passing by every second in this hall.

The structure of the hall, stone pillars, altar, and space are also clearly visible in his eyes. He only needs one thought to completely change it.

That is the law.

Although it is not perfect yet, it is far beyond the ordinary.
