Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1380 Conjecture on the nature of the possible world by refining the fake into the real

There are two more feasible directions that Xia Duo can think of——

One is to deeply simulate the birth process of the new natural holy power, so that the people in the process of participating in a certain order cycle will have a high degree of recognition of this order, and thus perceive the corresponding holy power of this order.

But there is one thing Xia Duo is sure of, that is, the holy power is related to the power of faith.

Can the power of faith generated only for a certain order reach the threshold for the birth of holy power?This is a difficult question to get around, and one that is almost impossible to answer.

Perhaps it will be self-evident when the number of people in the territory increases and the number of people participating in a certain cycle of order increases, but now, it is still a little bit worse.

As for the other direction, it does not consider the power of faith, or even the thoughts of the people themselves, and purely guides the realized power of order from the cycle of order.

Xia Duo is more inclined in this direction.

After all, the appearance of holy power means the appearance of a new conceptual entity. Perhaps it is just a mechanism for transforming holy power, not a self-aware existence like a god.

But in any case, Xia Duo still doesn't understand the principle of this, and he is quite afraid of it.

In addition, there is another problem, that is, these order cycles are completely under his control, and it is still a problem whether new conceptual entities can be born.

Will he be sent to the throne of God?Or make these cycles of order out of control?
The risk is not small. Xia Duo will not give priority to the option of transforming holy power when there are other options.

……

On the Codex sculpture, Xia Duo constantly perceives the focus and dispersion of the order network, and in the process, constantly tries to influence reality.

But what frustrates him is that no matter how he operates, even if he deliberately breaks the cycle of a certain force of order, it has no effect on the real world.

It's as if this real power is completely a virtual existence!
After repeated attempts to no avail, Xia Duo couldn't help feeling a little discouraged, "Is the power of order really just some kind of virtual conceptual power?"

But even the virtual existence in the projection plane can be realized as a real existence, so what is needed for the realization of the power of order?

"Could it be possible to go around and go around to the power of faith? Or is there a lack of force?"

Xia Duo closed his eyes slightly, and fell into deep thinking. In his consciousness, countless sparks of inspiration kept flashing and extinguishing, and it took him a long time to open his eyes.

It's just that there is still a trace of confusion in the eyes, "If the power of order is a virtual power, then we need to reconsider the ritual of ascension to the gods and the gods."

From this, Xia Duo thought of the saying "refining falsehoods to make them true" in an ancient book in his hometown. Perhaps the power of faith is the key to making falsehoods come true in this world!
Thinking about it this way, even the birth process of conceptual entities like the new natural concept seems to have an explanation.

It’s just that this kind of possibility seems particularly terrifying to Xia Duo, which means that as long as people are manipulated, all possibilities can be realized, which almost negates the objective reality and the meaning of practice!

It also almost negates all of Xia Duo's ideals!

Because, if the power of faith can really make fakes come true, then the boundary between reality and fiction will not be so clear, and the reality in the eyes of believers is the real reality!
All of Xia Duo's ideals are based on objective reality and practice. If the objective reality is easily changeable, can it still be called "objective"?

In a world dominated by subjective will, what is the point of practice and hard work?

Just keep fantasizing!
For such a world, Xia Duo is absolutely unacceptable!

……

For a while, Xia Duo was also frightened by his own guess, which happened to involve the power of faith. For quite a while, he was still unable to prove whether this guess was correct or not.

It was like a thorn stuck in his heart all the time, which made him very unhappy.

"Forget it, let's wait until all the power of order has completed the cycle, and try again, the power of order is not necessarily virtual power!"

Regardless of the nature of this world, since Xia Duo is already in it, the only thing he can do is to make himself work hard to adapt to this world, and then talk about further understanding and transforming the world.

"There is only one kind of heroism in the world, which is to still love life after recognizing the truth of life!"

Xia Duo does not consider himself a hero, but he definitely does not lack the courage to continue living and hope for the future.

If this world is a subjective and ideal world, then at least he can stick to the self-bottom line of "I think, therefore I am".

Of course, Xia Duo hopes that this world is an objective world that can be understood.

……

After leaving Codex Square, Xia Duo did not continue to patrol the territory, but returned to Niya's study on the top floor of the Tower of Time, and observed the territory through the projection window.

Although this method lacks a lot of details that can only be observed through real contact, it is not a bad idea to use it as a supplementary means of patrolling the territory in a short period of time.

Niya was not there, and Xia Duo sat alone in front of the projection window. Although he was observing the territory, various speculations about the power of faith and the nature of the world still appeared in his mind from time to time.

This state lasted until noon, when Lord Collins received a summons.

Maybe it's because I'm free, I have something to do, and I don't think about it.

……

Savile Collar, Town Hall.

Xia Duo personally entertained Lord Collins, who came from afar, here. In addition to the standard food from his hometown, he was also accompanied by the patriarch of the Silver Leaf family, Orepus.

During the dinner, Collins asked about the situation of the Tove investigator, and Xia Duo asked Orepus to answer this question——

"The Yueguan family is one of the top families in Comanso. For nearly ten thousand years, the family's high-level mage inheritance has never been cut off. That is to say, the current Yueguan family also has at least one high-level mage.

"As for that Investigator Tove—"

Having said that, Orepus glanced at Xia Duo, saw that Xia Duo did not respond, and then continued: "According to my friends in Comanso, the heir of the Yueguan family is not Tove, but that Tove But it is definitely not simple, according to Lord Xia Duo, that person is very likely to be a high-ranking mage in the future."

Collins nodded. Although he had long thought of developing the elf market, he didn't know much about elf society, especially Comanthor, who had a subtler relationship with Netheril and was closer to hostility.

Hearing Orepus' introduction at this moment, Collins actually didn't know much about it, but as a lord and a senior arcanist, he naturally had his own set of logic:

"Do you think that Tove is credible? I want to hear your opinion."

"The status of my friends in Cormanthor is too low. It is almost impossible to get in touch with members of the Mooncrown family and verify Tove's identity. The higher you are, the more you will be proud of your own family, and the less you will pretend to be another family. I personally think that Tove's identity is relatively credible, but her purpose is hard to say."

"Lord Xiaduo, what do you think?"
