Great Elf Sage

The four great sages are just an appearance, and the only real 'sage' is Nolan Morningstar. .

Has anyone else guessed this other ‘reality’ hidden under various waves in the material world in recent years?

Of course there is.

Not to mention An Jin, a true spirit-level insider who watched the birth of the 'Four Sages' from beginning to end, after Nolan temporarily solved the mental power ladder with the 'Emotional Essence', his rank quickly rose to legendary, to the world. Chris, who had a better understanding of the truth, roughly guessed the true identities of the four sages based on various clues.

In addition, Natsu, Bella, and Higgins, the high-ranking elves who were the first to come into contact with Nolan's magic system like Chris, knew that Nolan had the legendary magic of 'Elemental Clone', so they also had a rough idea of ​​this. speculation.

But Nolan didn't care that anyone could tell.

It has become a foregone conclusion that the concepts of 'Four Sages' and 'Sages' are equated. The intelligent creatures in the entire Aslan Continent are supporters of this result. Even the documents of Aslan Continent have been published in the past ten years. Relevant descriptions will be left in the city, and the history carried by civilization is also a 'witness' to Nolan's plan!

Under the premise that no one discovers Nolan's true intention and attempts to reverse the common concept that Nolan has laid out for more than ten years that "the four great sages of magicians are equal to sages", there is no need for Nolan to do anything else, "Sage" 'This concept will gradually be bound to the broad concept of 'magic' as time goes by and the name of magic spreads. Nolan himself can easily grasp the concept of 'sage'.

……

At this time, Nolan, after quietly guiding the seven original sin demons to the predetermined experimental environment, returned to a mage tower guarded by multiple magic circles deep in the magic academy, and began to use magic again. An attempt to mobilize the 'sage concept'.

Nolan slightly unlocked the magic spell used to seal a certain seal in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, and a strange feeling came from it.

There is something very close to you somewhere calling your soul, and it seems that as long as you respond in your heart, you can get the mysterious thing that your soul longs for.

"...Now the concept of 'Sage' has been deeply connected with the 'Four Great Sages'. As long as I am willing, I can merge with the 'Sage' and advance to the True Spirit level at any time!"

Although he said so, Nolan used magic to reopen the seal in the sea of ​​consciousness and strengthened it several layers without any intention of integrating it with the concept of 'sage'.

Just like the original "Collapse of Existence", Nolan wanted to try to use magic formulas to express a "concept" again.

"... Mastering the 'concept' and integrating with the 'concept' is equivalent to obtaining an extra-large world privilege, but it is different from ordinary world privileges. After integrating with the 'concept', it is no longer the dominant privilege of the extraordinary. , but the extraordinary ones are dominated by privileges, so the concept spirits must behave in line with the 'concept'... Moreover, it is not known whether there is a chance to start over with this integration. It is very likely that this It’s just a one-way ticket, and you won’t be able to study ‘concepts’ whose meanings are too different for the rest of your life, and in the end even your future development direction will be limited!”

When it came to the 'concepts' that he had not fully analyzed, Nolan no longer relied on others to construct spells out of thin air as he had done before. Instead, he prepared the corresponding spell-casting media just to be on the safe side.

As for chanting incantations, it is a means of harmonizing the magician's thinking and spiritual power, which is completely unnecessary for Nolan.

——If even Nolan, who is most familiar with the principles of magic in the world and has established the structural rules of spells, has to rely on chanting incantations to assist in casting spells, then the extraordinary system of 'magic' will be too difficult to learn. Got it!

While arranging the placement of the spell-casting medium, Nolan continued to think about

"...I rely on magic to analyze and describe a certain 'concept', and I can exert the strength of the true spirit level. Even the real concept true spirit of Dark Gold thinks that I am a real true spirit, and I am also good at fighting. The kind of...

...As long as I solve the combination of 'original sin' and 'virtue' and perfect the positive feedback model of magic power and 'soul essence', then I, who will not lack spiritual power and have no flaws in the magic ladder, will be able to use magic. The formula engraves all the analyzed 'concepts' in the sea of ​​consciousness. Through the triggering of multiple spell positions, concept spells in turn, I can do many things that are more comprehensive than the normal concept spirit...

...Then do I still need to advance to the True Spirit level?

...Or, a super magician does not necessarily need to become a demigod true spirit... After analyzing the "concept set" with internal logical self-consistency using magic formulas, the magician and the true spirit gradually expand themselves. What's the difference between the concept's scope of interpretation and ultimately becoming a god? "

Extraordinary creatures that can exert powers beyond the common sense of the material world are semi-true spirits, which are also super magicians in the Nolan magic system.

On top of this, if an extraordinary creature can grasp a certain 'concept' that is a fragment of the root of the world, it is a true spirit-level extraordinary creature. True spirits who have mastered 'concepts' can control most things within the scope described by their own 'concepts', and can distort and rewrite reality!

Therefore, the true spirit can already be called a demigod.

After Nolan analyzed the 'pan-magic induction technique' eleven years ago, he has reached the level of a super magician, that is, a semi-true spirit.

But unlike most semi-true spirits who rely on accumulating strength and transcending the upper limit of the material world from the bottom up, Nolan's way of transcending the limit is top-down.

Nolan can use magic to describe the 'concept', and then unleash the power of the 'concept' to rewrite reality!

But this doesn’t mean that Nolan has completely mastered the ‘concepts’ that he can describe using magic techniques.

From the exchange with Dark Gold and some of Nolan's own related research, it is shown that Zhenling has a hard target for mastering "concepts", that is, "it can use the power of concepts to rewrite reality at any time with zero consumption."

However, Nolan needs to expend a lot of mental energy and concentrate on constructing the spell to touch part of the 'conceptual power'. It can only be regarded as application or borrowing, which is completely different from the mastery of the true spirit.

Putting aside the natural ancient true spirits, the advanced true spirits who have acquired advanced skills all suddenly achieve this under various circumstances after transcending the limits of the material world and having a certain understanding and contact with a certain 'concept'. Mastery of 'concepts'.

As for how to achieve this, according to An Jin, it is a very idealistic process. The process of each transcendent who advances to the True Spirit level is different, and it is impossible to accurately convey it to others.

For example, An Jin himself, after experiencing an incident related to his own 'concept', inexplicably mastered the 'concept' while being moved by himself.

The new true spirit who had secretly rescued the refugees from the Blue Mountains had naturally mastered the concept after in-depth research and experimentation on a certain 'concept', based on a large amount of data and theory.

The god of war, Arteus, gradually came closer to the "concept of war" in the process of resisting the dwarf rule of Sandana, and mastered part of the "concept of war" in one fell swoop when facing the dwarf king Tesla.

Therefore, now that mental power reserves are no longer a problem, Nolan, who has conducted in-depth research on many fragmentary 'concepts', can actually begin to try to master the concepts and ascend to the rank of demigod true spirit.

Especially on the ‘Sage Concept’.

The 'Concept of Sage' has a lot of overlap with 'Magic'. In addition, Nolan used the intelligent creatures in the entire continent of Aslan as 'witnesses', and ranked the 'Concept of Sage' with the 'Four Sages'. No. Now, Nolan's desire to integrate with the 'Sage Concept' is just a matter of thought.

But Nolan has been deliberately avoiding this matter over the years.

Never try something if you don’t fully understand the principle!

Nolan, who has experienced the "emotional essence" pollution incident, is now very cautious about these things whose principles are unknown.

From the nine rings to the legend, the legend to the super level, the super level to the true spirit, and finally the true spirit becoming a god, this process close to the root was Nolan's original blueprint, but when the research in the 'concept' field deepened and surpassed As the world gets closer to reality, Nolan becomes more and more confused.

If an extraordinary creature wants to reach the level of a true spirit, it must integrate with a certain 'concept', and this fusion is at the soul level. It is a process that the true spirit itself cannot control, and the 'concept' actively integrates into the soul of the true spirit. , causing unknown changes to the soul structure, and being able to achieve the sign of a true spirit that can "use the power of concepts to rewrite reality at any time with zero consumption";

And if a super magician analyzes a certain 'concept' of magic formula, as long as he has enough mental power, he can almost do the same thing. If the problem of adding 'soul essence' is perfectly solved, then Doesn't it mean that a super magician can do everything that a true spirit can do without integrating with concepts?

So what is the significance of a transcendent being becoming a true spirit?

For a person who can accomplish things by his own efforts, let his soul accept unknown changes, and gain the privilege of a large world?

Or is it that true spirit is the prerequisite for becoming a god, and if it is not integrated with concepts, even if a 'concept set' that is internally logical and self-consistent is analyzed, one cannot obtain the priesthood?

…But what if the priesthood can be described using magical formulas?

"When I first learned about the secret of the priesthood, I didn't think so far. Who would have thought that the 'concept true spirit' itself might have hidden dangers? But in any case, the 'priesthood' is one step further away from the root than the 'concept' Even if we don’t consider the advanced true soul that integrates with concepts, it won’t be wrong to first analyze the ‘concept set’ that is internally logical and self-consistent.”
