Chapter 518

Croft didn't want to harm Adam. What she meant was that on the surface, the council publicly acquired the magic rune industry, but in fact, its owner was still Adam. The council didn't take a single cent of the 05% profit that Vientiane gave to the council. Instead, they gave it to Nehem as part of a gift. As for how Nehem would choose, it was a matter between him and Adam.

In addition, "Your Holiness, what do you think about the Beast System?"

Adam had long sent this information back to the Mage World. Croft attached great importance to it, because it was also a way to improve the overall strength of the Mage World from the foundation. However, the experimental results showed that there were some problems with this system.

"Mortals who inherit the Beast System will immediately turn into a magic-resistant physique. Their spiritual power will not be able to bear magic. In other words, after becoming a Beast Knight, their life will have nothing to do with magic." Croft said.

"What about their descendants?"

Adam keenly grasped the most critical point of the problem. There were endless mortals without mage aptitude. Anyway, they couldn't become mages in the first place. It didn't matter whether they had a magic-resistant physique or not. What he was afraid of was that they would pass on the genes of the magic-resistant physique to the next generation.

It was very comfortable to talk to smart people. Croft saved a lot of introductions and explanations. "The experimental samples are too scarce for the time being to form a practical and effective conclusion. The council has established a Beast Laboratory in the name of Nehem. It is waiting for the mating data between inheritors and non-inheritors, inheritors and inheritors, and the next generation. It is now the second generation. When the fifth generation is observed, we can basically judge whether it is possible to promote it. "

Adam knew that it was related to the foundation. No matter how cautious they were, they couldn't be too cautious. The True Souls hoped to improve the overall strength of the Mage World, but they would never kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. Besides, there were still three generations. There would be results in one or two hundred years.

"Logically speaking, the real Eighth Holy Tower should be built in the Inner World, but I heard that you and Nehem have different ideas. This is your decision." Croft said as she opened a map of the Mage World. "But for the Eighth Holy Tower in the Surface World, you only have three choices."

Every Holy Tower in the Surface World was the core node of a huge magic array that covered the entire World of Mages. After the Eighth Holy Tower was built, the magic array had to be changed, but the changes were limited.

However, this was something that did not matter. Naeem would not care. Adam randomly chose a coordinate that was slightly further away from the seven main continents. The Holy Tower in the Void would inevitably produce dark matter. If the distance was too close, it was likely to cause unnecessary damage.

After the trivial matters were settled, Croft smiled at Adam and said, "Every Holy Tower's Celestial Soul is a member of the Parliament of Mages, but the Celestial Mages usually don't directly manage the affairs of the Parliament. Instead, they will promote a spokesperson. If nothing goes wrong, Nehem's spokesperson must be you. How about it? Are you interested in taking over some of the council's affairs in advance? "

To other mages, this was a great honor, but Adam only felt that it was troublesome. Thus, he said, "My apologies, Your Holiness, I would like to continue my research first."

— — —

In fact, Adam had just been promoted to a Level Six mage not long ago. With the speed of a mage's promotion, even with the accumulation of energy, it would take a long time to reach Level Seven. However, to Adam, the breakthrough of knowledge was more difficult than the accumulation of energy.

At this moment, Adam deeply rejoiced that he didn't keep the knowledge of the other world to himself. Instead, he continued to preach, establish research institutes, provide ideas, and support research on any topic. Otherwise, he simply couldn't imagine how long it would take for him to break through the next step if he were to rely on himself.

Thinking of this, he immediately wanted to go back to the Atomic Energy Research Institute to see the latest research progress and lay out new topics. However, at this time, Vientiane, who had just left, came to him.

"What's wrong?"

He did not notice it when he was in the Source Space, but now it seemed that Vientiane was simply weak to the extreme. The energy level that was exposed to the outside was even inferior to Adam's. Moreover, his own spiritual energy was constantly being consumed by the magic and Ether that filled the World of Mages.

The two of them were quite familiar with each other. In front of Adam, Vientiane did not have the thought of putting up a strong front. "As you can see, I and all the other immortals are not in a good situation right now."

"Because of energy?"

Vientiane smiled bitterly. "Yes. When the Grand Empyrean was here, he purified and refined the spiritual energy for all the immortals. But now that the Grand Empyrean is gone, I don't have the ability to convert Ether into spiritual energy. I can only rely on the spiritual stones left behind, but I don't have much left. "

Adam frowned. "You overestimate me. I don't have the slightest understanding of spiritual energy. I can't help you. Instead of looking for me, it's better to see Her Holiness Laura. "

This was not Adam trying to shirk responsibility, but he really had no other choice. The spiritual energy in the World of Mages was the product of Tai Chu's sacrifice. It could be said that it was a true man-made energy. The only thing similar to it was the refining method of the remnant planes imprisoned in the Third Holy Tower. However, that kind of energy was fundamentally low-level. If the immortals were to switch to that kind of energy, a large scale degradation would be inevitable. If they did that, not only would they not be able to carry on the past, they would also continuously regress.

She looked at Adam and said seriously, "No, you can. I know that the World of Mages is divided into three realms, the Inner World, and the Virtual World. I want to build the First Immortal Spirit Tower in the Virtual World. I and all the other immortals are willing to upload our souls and bodies into the Virtual World and become the 'natives' of the Virtual World. "

Adam looked at her in shock and said, "But the essence of the Virtual World is information. Everything is formed by the materialization and combination of information. You can't become real natives. The energy you absorb can't be converted into what you need."

Vientiane said firmly, "I know, but I have no other choice. Besides, with the Heavenly Dao, I might not necessarily fail. "

Vientiane was helpless. It was not that the World of Mages didn't want to help her, but that they couldn't. Unless Vientiane and all the other immortals were willing to completely disperse their cultivation and re-cultivate magic, it was impossible for Vientiane to choose that path. However, fortunately, there was the Heavenly Dao and the Virtual World. She felt that this was the first step in her search for the Evasive One. By integrating the Heavenly Dao into the Path of Mages, she could borrow the Mages' system and the Heavenly Dao's deduction ability to change the essence of spiritual energy, allowing them to escape from the state of being rejected by the Fourth Epoch Ether Void.

Adam didn't expect Vientiane to be so decisive and bold. This was equivalent to putting all her eggs in one basket. It would be fine if she succeeded, but if she failed, and the last immortals couldn't find a way to change the spiritual energy, they would be finished.
