Sword of Dawn

Gao Wen stared at the golden giant egg in front of him, and said solemnly after a long time: "Yes, so far."

"I'm glad to see that you are not intimidated by this cold fact, although I knew from the beginning that people like you would never stop in the face of such difficulties," Enya's voice seemed to be smiling, that There are mixed feelings of appreciation and comfort, "Then confirming the margin of the 'second category of crossing the border' will help you in your next plan?"

"It's very helpful," Gawain nodded immediately, "At least, now we can confirm that launching unmanned probes into space will not cause a 'system crash'——transgressive behavior can only be accomplished by intelligent individuals in the ethos, in other words In other words, only rational individuals are qualified to become 'observers', which allows us to do something boldly, but..."

He frowned when he said this, and his expression became slightly weird: "Maybe I'm digging into a dead end, but I'm curious about one thing now-even if there really are 'observers' as gods whose eyes have jumped out of the closed system, the essence Is contact with information outside the system really undeniable? The "divinity" of the gods can still think that everything the observer sees is false, and that it is a large-scale illusion and deception. To believe that some force has tampered with all senses and cognitions of the observer, and to fundamentally deny that 'jumping out of the system' ever happened..."

"You mean...'sophistry'?" Enya was not at all surprised by Gao Wen's tricky question that was almost nonsense, as if she had thought about it herself, "It's like burying your head in the ground and turning a blind eye to the facts. The way to deceive oneself is to refuse to recognize the information injected from outside the system, so as to maintain the divine self-cognition and logic?"

Gao Wen looked serious: "Isn't that okay?"

"For individuals among mortals, 'self-deception' is a very effective means of escape, and sometimes it can even allow people to survive desperate situations, but for gods..." Enya chuckled lightly, as if with Thick self-deprecating, "Gods can't fool themselves. We are a huge logical system, and everything we do is based on the process of 'cognition-interpretation-feedback', which means that when an information stimulus appears, Later, even if our ego will deny it, the feedback caused by this stimulus ... has already occurred."

Gao Wen stared at Enya: "An uncontrollable natural reaction?"

A certain voice came from the Golden Dome: "An uncontrollable natural reaction."

"Then I'm curious—will you still be subject to this uncontrollable natural reaction?" Gao Wen suddenly asked seriously, "Whether there will be some kind of stimulus that makes you suddenly lose control of your will?" , let your instinct deviate from your nature again?"

"If my human part hadn't been truly free, I wouldn't be here talking to you about these self-destroying topics," Enya said flatly, "I know what you're worried about, so don't worry— —What you are facing is the freedom that the giant dragon of Tallonde bought at the cost of millions of years of tolerance and the fate of the whole family. If even such a hard blow cannot break free from the fate of darkness, then this world will not need to What hope are you looking for?"

Gao Wen pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "...you are right."

Then he exhaled and brought the topic back to the beginning: "I remember we started talking about those signals that suddenly went out in the stars, and we talked about two 'filter factors' that caused our universe to be extraordinarily prosperous It becomes empty, so that apart from the voyagers, no other civilization can be seen breaking through the shackles of the planet among the stars. One of them is the loss of control of the gods, and the other... is the magic tide.

"Now let's talk about the magic tide.

"What is the essence of the Devil's Tide? How did it sweep and reshape the world? Compared with the disaster that the Gondor Empire encountered 700 years ago, compared with the 'Great Devil's Wave' that could really destroy the world, how is it? what's the difference?"

"These questions, can you say it now?"

There was a period of silence in the hatching room. Enya seemed to be carefully considering what she was going to say next. The slight hum of the ventilation device and the low-power operation of the magic equipment became obvious in this silence. Surrounded me like a summer afternoon breeze—until Enya finally broke the silence.

"I know that you have realized that the tide of magic that the Gondor Empire encountered in the past and the real tide of magic are actually two different things. You call the former the 'little tide of magic' and the latter the 'big tide of magic' , but in fact, the difference between the two is even greater than you can imagine, so that the former cannot be regarded as a magic wave at all-it is indeed related to the magic wave, but in essence, it is just an unformed 'Front quiver'.

"As for your understanding of the magic tide, I need to correct one point: you think that the magic tide will change the basic nature of everything in the world, which is wrong.

"The real magic tide... that is what you call the 'big magic tide', in fact, it will not change the material world at all - in fact, it will not even interact with any physical matter, it is just an invisible wind, Just blown through the whole star."

Gawain's eyes widened for a moment, and the great shock even made him lose his usual calmness: "What did you say?! You said that the 'Great Demonic Tide' would not affect the material world at all? How is this possible?! "

"It's true."

"Then what is the influence of the great demonic tide? What about the doomsdays that actually exist one after another?"

"What it affects is not the macrocosm, but the 'observer' itself," Enya's voice came calmly from the eggshell, with a kind of coldness that has gone through 1807 million years, "it deflects the observer and the matter All the information contact in the world causes the mind of the observer to interact with the real world in disorder. Its essence is not a storm with physical destruction, but a group exile whose coverage reaches the celestial level.

"So, what is destroyed is not the world, but the 'world in the eyes of the observer', but if you look at this process from the perspective of the observer, the two are indeed the same thing."

Chapter 1141 Trembling Truth

The incubator fell into silence again, and Enya had to take the initiative to break the silence: "I know, this answer is against common sense."

"Wait a minute, I need to smooth it out..." Gao Wen subconsciously waved his hand to interrupt the other party. After finally smoothing his train of thought and confirming the information described by the other party, he slowly raised his head, " In other words, when the "big tide" came, the world was not affected in any way at all, but all individuals who could become "observers" had a cognitive shift, and the original normal world became a new world in their eyes. Indescribable, incomprehensible... things, the so-called 'end of the world', is actually an 'illusion' produced by them?"

"This is not as simple as an illusion. You only need to close your eyes and shield your five senses to pretend nothing happened. However, the 'exile offset' brought by the magic tide can break the boundary between matter and reality—if you mistake Bing If you recognize it as fire, then 'fire' can really burn you. If the sun in your eyes turns into an extinguished black ember, then the whole world will dim and cool around you. This sounds very counterintuitive, but Such is the truth of the world.

"The observer constructs the world he lives in through his own cognition, and this world overlaps with the real world accurately, but when the tide of magic comes, this 'overlap' will be misplaced, and the observer will be distorted by the confusion in his own eyes. Like swallowing, in the extreme madness and fear, they tried their best to leave records of the world distorted and broken, and the magic tide destroying everything. However, for the latecomers, these records... are just the ravings of madmen, and they will never be recognized by any theory. A confirmed illusion."

Gawain was sitting on a large high-backed seat, the ventilation system was blowing a cool and clean breeze, and the low humming sound reached his ears, and it became extremely illusory and distant at this moment. He fell into long-term contemplation. It took me some time to wake up from my contemplation: "This... really violates normal cognition. The observer's observation creates an 'observer world' that overlaps with the real world? And the offset of this observer world will still bringing about the self-destruction of the observer..."

"But you don't look as surprised as I thought," Enya said calmly, "I thought you'd at least lose your composure."

"This is because I'm not unfamiliar with many of the concepts you mentioned—I just can't believe that all of this will happen in the macroscopic world," Gao Wen said with a complicated expression, with a hint of doubt as if talking to himself "But if what you said is true... then where is the boundary between the real universe and the 'cognitive universe' in our world? If the observer will be recognized by himself What's the point of the real world running if the 'illusory flame' burns out?"

The voice in the golden dome paused before responding: "...It seems that in your hometown, the material world and the spiritual world are clearly separated."

"At least in the macrocosm, that's the case," Gao Wen said in a deep voice. "In our place, reality is reality, and illusion is illusion. The observer effect only takes effect in the microcosm."

"Is it... It's a pity that in this universe, the boundaries of everything seem to be in a state of change," Enya said, and the speed of the pale golden runes on her eggshell gradually slowed down, as if she was using this This is a way to help Gao Wen think calmly, "This stable and peaceful world in the eyes of ordinary people only needs one wave of magic to turn into an indescribable twisted purgatory. When there is a deviation between cognition and reality, and the boundary between reason and madness It will become easy, so from a certain point of view, it is meaningless to pursue the meaning of the 'real universe' itself, even...does the real universe really exist?"

Listening to the question that Enya posed at the end, which was enough to make a scholar who was not determined enough to think crazy, Gao Wen's heart calmed down for some reason. Suddenly, he thought of the weird "layered" structure of this world, Thinking of the Shadow Realm under the material world, the Shadow Realm under the Shadow Realm, even the "Deep Realm" under the Shadow Realm, and the "deep sea" that only exists in concept for the gods...

In his mind, an endless sea seemed to emerge from nothingness, and that was the true appearance of the universe. Layers upon layers of "boundaries" were superimposed in this ocean in a way that human minds cannot comprehend, interacting with each other. Complicated mapping is being carried out. In the deep sea where the sun cannot shine, the deepest "truth" is buried in the darkness that no one can touch-the ocean is undulating, and mortals are just tiny mayflies floating in the shallowest water body, and the whole area The true appearance of the ocean is still far beyond the cognitive boundaries of mayflies.

He took a light breath, pulled his rationality away from the "sea" that he imagined, and said in a low voice with a tone that seemed to be out of sight: "I'm suddenly curious... when the magic tide When it comes, what will the world look like in the eyes of those "exiled"..."

In Gawain Cecil's memory, he saw the catastrophe 700 years ago, saw the earth scorched and curled, the sky was horrific, the chaotic magic swept across the earth, and countless monsters came from all directions - that was almost The most terrifying "end of the world" that mortals can imagine, even Gao Wen himself once thought that it was the appearance of the end of the world. However, at this moment, he suddenly found that his imagination was in front of the real appearance of this world. is not enough.

"Even if you are an extraterrestrial wanderer who can compete with the gods, you will not be willing to face the terrifying impression on the mortal mind when the demon tide comes," Enya's voice came from the golden dome, "Frankly speaking, I can't answer your question exactly because no one can communicate properly with victims who have gone mad and lost their focus of perception in the 'real universe' and it's hard to sum up what they're seeing from their chaotic speech or even noise What is the scene like, I can only guess, guessing from the crazy traces left by those civilizations that failed to withstand the tide of magic——

"The sun extinguished in their eyes, or swelled into a huge ball of flesh, or turned into a black mass that fell from the sky, the earth melted and grew endless teeth and giant eyes, the sea boiled and formed a vortex reaching to the center of the earth, and the stars fell into the sky. The earth, again in icy streams of fire, spurts out of rocks and clouds, and they may see themselves thrown into the starry sky, while the universe opens its mouth full of indescribable lights and giants, or To see everything in the universe stripped away into the shadows and constant noise of madness - and in the last moments of destruction they themselves would fall prey to these madnesses, becoming one of them.

"This is the mad observer, and the world as he sees it—in the intricate reflection of the universe, they lose their focus, and therefore everything, in which everything they see is possible. "

Gao Wen didn't speak for a long time, and it took more than a minute before he couldn't help shaking his head with a complicated expression: "Your description is really vivid, the scene is enough to make any sane person feel shudder."

"Thank you for your compliment," Enya said calmly, her always calm and gentle tone has a calming and nerve-soothing effect at this time, "but don't take what I've said as reliable. Research data, in the final analysis, they are just my speculations, after all, even gods cannot touch those exiled minds."

Gawain was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "The sea monsters told me about the reshaping of everything in the world caused by the great demon tide. I believe they didn't deceive me about this matter, so the only explanation is—they They did indeed 'see' the reshaping of the world in their eyes, which shows that they are 'observers' under the influence of the demonic tide... But why are they okay? They seem to have just seen some phenomena, but survived the demonic tide again and again down."

"Kraken..." Enya chuckled, as if feeling helpless, "They may be the only group in this world that I can't understand. Even though I witnessed them fall from space on this planet with my own eyes , I have also observed the kingdom they established in the far sea from a distance, but I have been avoiding as much as possible to allow the dragons to establish communication with those visitors from the starry sky, do you know why?"

"Because the sea monsters come from the universe, their interstellar knowledge and spaceships are very likely to cause the dragons to turn their attention to the universe, thus accelerating your loss of control?" Gawain said speculatively, but he already realized that the problem might not be so simple— — Otherwise, Enya didn't need to deliberately ask herself at this moment.

"What you said is indeed part of the answer, but more importantly... the Kraken race is a sort of 'toxic watcher' to me.

"The way they perceive this world is completely different from any race in the world, as if they are not only not from this planet, nor even from this universe, they have a distinct... abnormality, which is incompatible with our world The 'gap', this kind of segregation causes the magic tide to not completely affect them, they will see some shifted phenomena when the magic tide arrives, but it only takes a short time for their self-awareness to automatically This kind of 'error' was corrected, and this kind of correction even made me feel...frightened, because I found that they would not only 'correct' themselves, but would even affect other intelligent creatures, slowly changing the cognition of other ethnic groups, and even passing thoughts Spread this influence to the gods behind other races.

"Remember the 'closed system' we discussed when the gods lost control in the last topic? In the eyes of the gods, those sea monsters are like a group of 'erosive poisons' that can actively destroy the closed system. They are mobile and aggressive. External information, can you understand what I mean?"

Gao Wen blinked, and he immediately thought of a sentence he had said jokingly:

The gods and the sea monster met face to face, and passed a san check with each other—then the gods went crazy.

This unintentional joke... turned out to be true.

The existence of the Kraken can pollute the gods!If there is a "priority" for their cognition and self-correction, then this "priority" is even higher than the magic tide? !

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly changed, and he said in a very serious tone: "Then we are now establishing more and more extensive exchanges with the sea monsters, isn't it..."

"I think, by the time of my 'fall', the Sirens, the 'toxic watchers' group, should have lost their toxicity," Enya knew what Gao Wen was suddenly worried about, and she said gently, "They The gap with this world has almost completely disappeared, and the pollution that comes with it will also disappear—for the gods afterward, the sea monsters are no longer dangerous from this season of civilization.”

Gao Wen was startled: "Why?"

"I don't know, there are too many mysteries in this group." The golden runes on the surface of Enya's eggshell stagnated for a moment, and then slowly flowed, "I can only be sure of one thing, and that is before I fall , I finally succeeded in observing the ripples produced by the sea monsters' thinking in the deep layers of this world... This means that after such a long time, this group of people who are incompatible with the world has finally integrated into our world."

"Integrate into..." Gao Wen frowned and thought about every word mentioned in Enya's words. He tried to understand the strange state of the group of "outsiders" who crashed on this planet. So much so that the oldest gods on this planet have been afraid of it for more than a million years, and even today this fear has just been lifted. Several possible reliable guesses emerged.

It's just that at least at this stage, there is no way to confirm these conjectures—I'm afraid even the Kraken himself can't understand these processes.

The only thing that can be determined now is the final conclusion: the sea monster is like a mass of insoluble foreign matter, which fell in this world for 1807 million years, and finally gradually melted the shell, and is no longer a bug that can freeze the system. It may be a good thing for those races who establish communication with them, but for the sea monster itself... is this a good thing?

He couldn't help asking: "They have integrated into this world, does this mean that the demon tide will also take effect on them from now on?"

"Maybe or maybe not, I know it's irresponsible to answer like this, but there are too many mysteries about them, even if one is solved, there are countless others waiting ahead," Enya said helplessly, " The biggest problem is that their life essence is still a kind of elemental creature... an elemental creature that can survive stably in the main material world, and the elemental creature itself can be reshaped and regenerated after the magic tide, which may mean that even if they Like other mortals, they will be destroyed by the tide, and they will be reborn after the tide is over.

"Of course the situation may be the opposite. Who can say for sure? These are things that have never happened before, and even God can't predict them."

"Perhaps I should talk to them about this issue when I have a chance," Gao Wen said with a frown, and then he suddenly remembered something, "Wait, just now we talked about that the Great Demon Wave will not affect the 'real universe' Entity, will the little demon tide affect it?

"I mean, when the Gondor Empire was engulfed by the tide of small demons after the big explosion in the Deep Blue Well, the pioneers saw with their own eyes how those chaotic magic energy had an impact on the environment, and after that we were still in the Dark Mountain area A brand new ore has been mined, and that ore has been identified as a product of the magic tide... Is this the result of some kind of 'reshaping' phenomenon?"

"This is also a misunderstanding," Enya said lightly, "there has never been a 'reshaping of everything in the world', whether it is the big tide of magic or the so-called small tide of magic—the big explosion that happened in the Gondor Empire It confuses your judgment on the magic tide. In fact, what you faced at that time was only the shock wave of the Deep Blue Well. Those new ores and the mutated environment are just natural reactions caused by high-concentration magic erosion If you don't believe it, you can reproduce this result in the laboratory."

Chapter 1142 How to Break the Game

From the perspective of the real universe, this world has never been reshaped, and it will not be reshaped in the future due to any kind of magic tide.

Even Gao Wen, who has experienced so many bizarre lives, witnessed countless unimaginable miracles, and is even an "abnormal" himself, can't help but mess up his breathing rhythm at this moment, and his three views have been completely subverted Feelings enveloped him, he opened his eyes wide, thoughts were surging in his mind, his long-standing cognition of this world was shaken at this moment, and he began to doubt all his judgments and guesses about this world.

But the state of mind that he experienced in the endless years finally played a role. His short-term wavering did not affect his ability to think rationally. Soon he gathered up his wandering thoughts and summed up in his heart what Enya had revealed to him so far. , the main information about the magic tide and the law of the universe:

From the perspective of the real universe, this world will not be reshaped by the magic tide. The existence of everything in the world is indeed stable and orderly, but from the perspective of observers (sensible intelligent creatures), the weight of everything in the world Plasticity will indeed happen, and it is the inevitable result of the magic tide; on the other hand, the "observer effect" in this universe presents a chaotic and macroscopic state, and the observer's cognition of the universe will truly act on "their effect". In the "world of itself", the observer universe and the real universe are reflected like shadows and ontology. Under normal circumstances, they overlap accurately, so the observer itself is stable, but in the magic tide environment, the two deviate Move, and the observer will be engulfed in the crazy illusion of what he sees...

There is indeed a difference between "big" and "small" magic tides, but according to Enya, the so-called small magic tides are actually some kind of unformed "before the magic tide" that "does not affect entities in the real universe" In this regard, it is no different from the real Devil's Tide, and the catastrophe experienced by the refugees of the Gondor Empire 700 years ago... is actually not the body of the Devil's Wave at all, but just the shock wave after the Deep Blue Well exploded.

At this moment, Gao Wen didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. He only knew that a veil had been lifted in front of him in this bizarre world. Under the veil... a more wanton and chaotic world was revealed.

His eyes fell on Enya's eggshell: "You mean, whether it's the chaotic mana environment in the wasteland of Gondor or the raw crystal mines we mined in the dark mountains, they are actually just high-strength The "reaction product" formed after the magic radiation acts on a specific substance, the mortals 700 years ago...in fact, were not affected by the magic tide, whether it was a big magic tide or a small magic tide..."

Enya's voice was flat: "Indeed."

"What exactly is the 'Little Devil's Tide'? What is the 'Unformed Forward Tremor'?" Gao Wen asked again, "Does this mean that it is still part of the Great Devil's Tide, but it just failed to erupt? Or is it The Great Demonic Tide and the Small Demonic Tide are actually continuous in essence, two stages of a disaster, and the mortal kingdoms are just lucky enough to survive temporarily in the intermission of this disaster?"

"Actually, both of these statements are correct," Enya said slowly, "You know, I am not omniscient, and my understanding of the magic tide is also based on long-term observation and research, guessing and verification. Can tell you the details I know—

"The magic tide is a natural phenomenon in this world. It occurs in an irregular cycle. There will always be several small-scale outbreaks between large-scale outbreaks, and the specific timetable is almost impossible to predict; the small magic tide appears in some characteristics. It has the same characteristics as the Great Demonic Tide, but the difference is that its eruption is often localized. The Great Demonic Tide will sweep across the entire celestial body system, while the Small Demonic Tide is often limited to a certain continent or even a certain kingdom; The eruption of the tide is shorter and weaker, and it doesn't necessarily wipe out observers within the eruption's range—there are a number of ways to weaken or neutralize it."

"The Little Devil Tide can be weakened or counteracted..." Gao Wen suddenly thought of something, "Wait, you mean..."

"If you can't master the precise skills, you can only fight with brute force-a short-term ultra-high-intensity burst of magic power can compress the magic power in the turbulent layer of the planet's atmosphere, forming an energy field with a huge coverage, and the essence of the magic tide is still It is a magical phenomenon, so it will be affected by this energy field, and even be annihilated. This burst of energy field is indeed terrible, it is enough to cause regional ecocide, but at least, there are some lucky seeds Can survive in marginal areas.

"700 years ago, there was only one energy source that met this requirement in the entire Loren Continent—"

"The Deep Blue Well." Gao Wen's expression darkened, and he said in a deep voice.

"Detonating the Deep Blue Well was the most effective means to prevent the expansion of the 'Front Shock', and it was also the only means available at that time."

"So the Deep Blue Well was detonated on purpose?!" Gawain's eyes widened in an instant, staring at Enya's eggshell with pale golden runes, "Could it be that..."

"Don't get me wrong, it's not me," Enya sighed slightly from the golden dome, "I'm just the patron saint of the dragon clan, and my duty bound me to Tarrond, so naturally I couldn't interfere What happened on the continent of Loren—the Deep Blue Well was indeed detonated, and it was detonated by the gods who protect the various races of Loren.”

"You mean that the gods detonated the Deep Blue Well?!" Gawain stared, before exhaling lightly after a long time. He couldn't help but think of a guess he had just made not long ago, and smiled self-deprecatingly, " In fact, I just guessed that there was something hidden behind the explosion of the Deep Blue Well a while ago, and now it seems that there is indeed something hidden behind it, but it has nothing to do with my guess at the time..."

While talking, he frowned again, a puzzle that has plagued mankind for a long time suddenly emerged in his heart, as if he had an answer: "Wait, I suddenly remembered, when the demon tide broke out, Not long after that, the priests of the major churches lost contact with their gods one after another. The gods were silent for a whole year, and the power of the gods gradually returned to this world after the meeting at the Ancestor Peak. ...Could it be that the detonation of the Deep Blue Well was the reason why the gods fell asleep?!"

Enya thought for a while before answering Gao Wen's question: "Actually, I am not sure about the specific situation at that time - as you know, there are mutual pollution and interference problems between the gods, so we cannot establish a direct Normally, we can only roughly judge the state of other gods by observing the bottom layer of the world—according to your understanding, the ripples in the 'deep sea'. I can only be sure that there were gods who sheltered the land of Loren at that time. Interfering with the energy flow of the Deep Blue Well, but who, how to intervene, and the subsequent status of the opponent cannot be determined at all.

"Similarly, I have no way of ascertaining how many gods were involved in this matter at that time... It may be one, or there may be more than one. The huge energy fluctuations of the Deep Blue Well are enough to penetrate all realms of the world, and the interference will be in the world. Large-scale black barriers formed in the deep sea, what happened in that big explosion... even I don't know.

"However, I can answer you with one thing - the year-long sleep of the Loren gods at that time was not affected by the explosion of the Deep Blue Well."

"Isn't it influenced by the Deep Blue Well?" Gao Wen asked in surprise, "Why is that?"

"The operation of the church has stopped, the structure of the parish has collapsed, the original regular religious activities have stopped suddenly, and most importantly...the population has plummeted," Enya said in a low voice, "Don't forget that the main body that supports faith is enough population, The foundation of the gods is the believers, and the catastrophe 700 years ago...too many people died. For the Loren gods who have not broken free from the 'chains' and must rely on thoughts to maintain their operations, this is a heavy blow. "

Gao Wen subconsciously held his breath, and it took him a long time to let it out slowly.

"But I still have a question," he asked immediately, "After the 'magic tide' 700 years ago, although countries worked hard to get rid of the impact of the disaster, the population recovery did not happen overnight. In just one year None of the Four Great Kingdoms has seen a significant increase in population, and even due to food shortages and monster disturbances, there has been a slight population decline in Typhon and Ansu, but the gods have recovered under such circumstances, how can this be explained?"

"It is such a harsh situation that will lead more people to seek faith sustenance," Enya explained patiently, "You should know the situation at that time-how many people became devout believers in the predicament ?How many people who didn't believe in God or only had shallow beliefs prayed all night in the midst of cold and hunger? Not everyone is a hero with a strong will, most ordinary people are fragile, and the desperate situation makes them transform from shallow believers to general believers Became pious, so while your population did not increase at that time, the number of pious did increase—this hastened the return of the gods."

Gao Wen showed a dazed look, and then thought deeply: "Under the situation at that time, it was a good thing for the power of gods to return to the world, which relieved the urgent needs of many countries, but in the long run... it will also pave the way for all countries in the future. The overblown Church, the Church's attempts to influence the Monarchy sowed the seeds...even for our Theocratic Council plans today."

"In the face of the historical scale, the merits and demerits of many things should be viewed separately."

"What you said is right," Gao Wen sighed softly, and at the same time he was quickly sorting out his thoughts, looking for any questions he had missed, and soon he had something to ask again, "Wait Wait, I have another question——According to what you said, the magic tide will affect the "connection" between the "observer" and the real universe, causing their cognition to shift. How did the dragons not suffer from this? What kind of influence? What is the method for Tallond to survive the demon tide time and time again?"

The voice in the golden dome fell silent, and after a few seconds, she reminded softly: "This has already involved specific techniques, Gao Wen."

Like a gust of cold wind blowing in this summer afternoon, Gao Wen finally cooled off from the excitement brought by the continuous acquisition of important knowledge. He realized that the discussion between himself and Enya had gone deep into a very dangerous area, but he still couldn't help it. Zhu confirmed: "This part can't be said? You have already told me so many things involving basic concepts..."

"Knowledge and technology are different. Although knowledge that is too advanced is dangerous and may even be polluting, it still requires a process of learning and transformation. You can learn this knowledge and understand and verify it. Gradually accept them in the process, even if they are harmful, the harm can be minimized, but technology... the technology that has crossed the research process will one day show toxicity. "

Enya's words left Gao Wen speechless, but the feeling of "the answer is right in front of him but blocked by a thin barrier" still made him feel extremely uncomfortable, but fortunately, it soon spread again in the Golden Dome. A gentle voice came, and Enya continued: "Of course, I just can't tell you the technology directly, which doesn't mean I can't point you in some directions—especially after you and the Dragon Clan have paid such a huge price , the mortals in this world should take one step further on the road to survival.

"Although the magic tide is a very terrible natural phenomenon. For unprotected observers, the disaster it brings is extinction, but its duration is actually not long each time. Each magic tide usually ends at The planet's revolution period ends within one revolution, and as far as I know, the longest record does not exceed two revolutions, and all you have to do is to survive within one or two planetary revolution periods.

"The key to survival is to isolate the influence of the demon tide on the observer. As long as the mind of the observer is not affected, no matter how strong the demon tide is, it is actually just a breeze to you.

"The key to Tallond's unaffected by the tide of demons lies in the shield system that once covered the entire continent—the ancient large shield of Tarrond can not only provide protection against the material world, but also deflect demons. The impact of the tide on the mind of the observer. In the past 100 million years, whenever the tide of magic came, the dragons would collectively return to the big shield to avoid the worldwide "mind banishment", Do not come out until after the magic tide is over...to count the relics after the disappearance of the destroyed civilization."

"So, the key to the problem is the great shield of Tarrond." Gawain stared closely at Enya's eggshell, "The technical key to resisting the evil tide lies in the ruins of the great shield. As long as we help the dragons rebuild that Shield, and in the process of learning and mastering this key technology step by step, you will be able to..."

"Unfortunately, this is precisely the most troublesome part," Enya interrupted Gao Wen with a soft sigh before finishing speaking, "First of all, the big shield is too old, it was built in Tarrond more than a million years ago In the glorious age of the Dragon Race, its core technology was huge and complex, and even a great mechanic like Baloger couldn't fully grasp it. With today's Dragon Clan, there is no possibility of repairing the big shield—let alone in the era when Omega was active. In the past, the large shield has undergone dozens of iterations of self-upgrades, and now the remaining shield generators in the wasteland of Tarrond are no longer things that flesh and blood brains can understand... I am afraid that only Omega himself knows A complete blueprint of that system.

"Secondly, even if the shield generator itself is repaired, the large shield does not have a complete protective function, because its 'core component' used to protect the observer is not a system inside the shield."

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows subconsciously: "The core component used to protect the observer is not in the generator of the large shield? Then it is..."

"It's me," Enya said lightly, "The key to the dragon clan's resistance to the invasion of the demon tide is that they have found a way to transform the divine power into a shield—but the age of mythology is over."

Gao Wen: "..."

After being stunned for half a minute, Gao Wen finally said: "So, what the Dragon Clan broke at the coming-of-age ceremony was not only their chains, but also their key means of resisting the demon tide? This..."

"As you said, the great shield of Tarrond with me as the core is the key to their civilization that has survived so many seasons in the demon tide, and because of this, they and I have to endure in this two-way shackles Such a long time, but such a harsh balance will always be broken... Although I have been careful to maintain it, my divine part has reached the critical point of losing control many years ago, and Heragor is very clear about this ,” Enya said with a sigh in her voice, “remember what I said? There is nothing truly eternal in this world, and even if they don’t break the cradle, it’s impossible for this balance to last for too long.”

"Okay, break it down and then build it up, at least you have jumped out of the doomed slow death, and you have the capital to break the situation." Gao Wen shook his head helplessly, "But the problem we have to face next will be bigger... ..."
