Chapter 362

"… That was an unreasonable power. We have never imagined that a life form could evolve to such a level. It was like a source of devouring, devouring everything that came close to it, be it information, life, or energy. The two True Souls tried everything they could, but they could not escape. They could not even see what the enemy looked like."

"It was in a state of slumber. All of this was done unconsciously, or subconsciously. The two True Spirits felt fear. They were afraid of waking it up, so they gave up resisting and shattered their souls and all the information they carried, allowing themselves to be devoured."

"This is …" Adam did not know what to say for a moment.

"This is the only True Spirit incident since the Magic Revolution. After that, we found two other areas with super void lifeforms. However, with our previous experience, we didn't enter them rashly. Instead, we designated their location as a forbidden area, guarded by true spirits to prevent all lifeforms from approaching. "

"Now, you should know the true meaning of the existence of Exploration Mages, right?" His Majesty suddenly asked.

"Discovering these Ultra Void beings as a warning to the Mage World?"

His Majesty nodded. "That's right. In the past, this job was done by the True Spirits. But as time passed, the power of the True Spirits grew stronger and stronger. The strength of the True Spirits of the modern era far surpassed that of the first two True Spirits. We could no longer conceal our movements in the void. We were afraid that the energy and information entangled with us would awaken other monsters from their sleep. Therefore, the Mage World has an Exploration Type, using their own lives to find a way forward for the Mage Civilization. "

Adam muttered, "I thought there would be no more Exploration Mages after the Hyperdimensional …"

"The official Exploration Mages are just trainees. The real main force is the Hyperdimensional Level. There are often Hyperdimensional Mages who have fallen in unknown deep space. We don't even know what they have encountered because most of the time, they can't even send back the last bit of information." His Majesty pointed at the Void Map. "And what is sent back forms the orange zone."

"We have reason to believe that the Ultra Void beings are the strongest beings left behind in the last era. They should have tried to break through the cage that is the Ether Void and go to a higher dimension world. However, it is obvious that they have failed."

"We have even more reason to believe that they won't be willing to admit defeat. Their current dormancy is to accumulate strength. Perhaps they are waiting for a civilization that has the qualifications to transcend in this era, such as us. Then, when we exert our strength, it will wake up and devour us, or even the entire Ether Void, and take over our achievements. "

His Majesty paused for a long time, waiting for Adam to digest the information.

After a long silence, Adam asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you sure that they are individuals? Not the remnants of the civilization? If it's a civilization … "

The one who answered Adam was Prometheus. He came to the origin space and said without hesitation after hearing Adam's question, "There is no possibility of cooperation. They were individuals, and the path of evolution in the Third Epoch was the transcendence of individuals. The existing evidence showed that after their individual strength reached the limit, they devoured all the energy and life in the Third Epoch. Perhaps this was the reason why they could survive the formatting and reconstruction. This means that they are our enemies, and there is no room for negotiation. "

"But even if they are individuals, since they have failed, perhaps they will accept our ideals and work with us to transcend?"

His Majesty Prometheus suddenly brought up another matter. "You know that the wizards pursue collective evolution and transcendence, don't you?"

Adam nodded.

"This is the fundamental contradiction that cannot be reconciled. The existence of the Weave and the wizard's path of evolution have determined that we will be enemies with the creatures of the last era. Because all our efforts are to make the origin a collective consciousness life form, to make the wizard world bigger and bigger until it is equal to the Void. Then, we will break through the Void from the inside and replace it, becoming the new Ether Void. "

"Running in the opposite direction …"

"That's right, running in the opposite direction. When the evolution reaches a certain level, we will block each other's path. This contradiction can only be resolved by the complete destruction of one side. "

At this point, Adam also knew what the other threat was. To be able to reach the end of an epoch, even if they were individuals, their strength was unquestionable. If they failed, no one could be sure that the wizards would succeed. This crisis was even more serious than the first one. Once they failed, they would not even have a chance to fight back.

"What about the Third Holy Tower?"

"The Third Holy Tower is the Night Watchman of the wizard world, preserving all the knowledge and fire of the wizard world. If the transcendence fails, we will do our best to preserve the Third Holy Tower, allowing them to enter the Fifth Epoch and spread the fire of the wizard world once again."

After a while, His Majesty Croft said to Adam, "You should not carry out any other research for the time being."

"Yes, but why?"

"After your Hyperdimensional state stabilizes, there is a mission for you. Some information about the plane coordinates you gave to Sandy last time has been sent over. After some analysis, it is suspected to be a low-level remnant of the Third Epoch's power system. The Wizard Council has decided to send a group of Hyperdimensional exploration mages to hand over the mission. "

"During this time, submit your request for the tower, and the Council will make it for you as soon as possible."

After the conversation ended, Adam left the Origin Space. According to the instructions of the True Souls, the double-slit experiment had entered a confidential level, and Adam was not interested in continuing the experiment for the time being.

Due to the previous impact, the work of the Atomic Energy Research Institute was in a state of stagnation. They had to wait for the mages to return to normal before continuing.

Now, Adam also knew why they had such a huge reaction to the experiment. When the fear that had always existed in their imagination suddenly appeared in front of them, it was understandable for them to have such a reaction.

At this time, Adam could no longer use Truth to directly enter the prime material plane. However, he had nothing to do in the prime material plane, so he simply shut himself in the temporarily closed Atomic Energy Research Institute and began to write a thesis, theorizing the results of his previous research, rune culture, and magic.

The first thing he completed was the rune culture of the wave-particle duality and the concept of matter waves. After success, his control of electromagnetic waves had reached a level where he could freely send out a beam of light into a high-energy laser in an instant. He could also condense the laser into a lightsaber after changing his mind. Not only that, he could now control the microscopic particles around him with a single action or thought. To a certain extent, he could condense them into a substance like light or decompose them into waves.
