Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 574 Epilogue [6k words]

Half a day later, exclusive room.

"The gravity crystal is ready."

"Frequency fixing is on."

"The force field isolation barrier has been deployed."

"Model stability is normal."

In the silver-white laboratory, confirmation sounds came from under the isolation suit. Xin Lailai and Ling Yuzi were standing in front of a large instrument that looked like a processing table, quickly confirming one item after another.

"Ling Yuzi, how are you doing?"

'Everything has been checked, no problem.'

"Very good, let's get started."

Finally, Xin Lailai quickly confirmed with Ling Yuzi in his mind, looked at the instrument in front of him, took a deep breath, a hint of anticipation flashed across his dark pupils, and he pressed the start button heavily.

[Command confirmed, the 193rd spell model simulation is about to begin, the current model code is 015...]

A cold mechanical sound suddenly rang out from the laboratory, and the spell model floating in the air began to operate rapidly under the built-in program of the instrument. A pure mental power that perfectly simulated their current mental strength was released from the base, and under the stimulation of the spell model, it was transformed into a special mental power with the spell information recorded. Finally, it activated the pure magic power that had been prepared long ago inside the barrier, and transformed it into a strange wave, spreading from the inside of the barrier.

Om-! !

In an instant, the gravel and paper scraps piled on the base of the screen seemed to be pulled by something, floating up from the base, spinning and converging in mid-air. At the same time, the translucent soft film at the edge of the barrier seemed to be pulled by some invisible force, and desperately shrank towards the inside of the barrier.

Become!

Xin Lailai looked at this scene, a look of intense excitement revealed on his face under the mask of the isolation suit, but he calmed down the next second, took a deep breath, walked quickly to the console of the instrument, and started operating it quickly.

——Successful release is only the first step. If you want to test whether this spell can be used in actual combat, there are still a lot of details to test and confirm.

[Ding! Changes completed. The current gravitational field strength has been changed from 1.0 times the gravity environment to 10.0 times the gravity environment. The simulation will start again...]

After a while, a cold mechanical sound continued to be heard from the instrument, and then the soft membrane inside the barrier bulged inwards to an instantly increased degree, and some of the data on the instrument screen also began to rise rapidly.

Just as Xin Lailai was about to continue recording new data, a cold reminder sound suddenly rang in his mind:

[Tip: The Pioneer’s current stay in the Sanctuary Paradise is about to reach its limit]

[Tip: It has been detected that the Pioneer Brand rank has been promoted to the third rank, and the real attribute barrier has been broken. You can now convert the time you stay in the real world into the time you stay in the Sanctuary Paradise according to your own brand level. The current conversion limit is: 80 hours]

Is their stay time limit reached?

Xin Lailai was slightly startled when she saw the prompt in front of her. Because they had been immersed in magic research these days, they had not paid any attention to the issue of time at all.

"Transformation."

So, after taking a look at the prompt in front of him, he chose the option to convert all without hesitation.

According to the regulations of the Sanctuary Paradise, the basic stay time in the Sanctuary Paradise will not be further increased after reaching 10 days... that is, after the brand level reaches LV.21.

If you want to continue to increase your stay in the park, you can only wait until you break through the real barrier and unlock a higher level of permissions.

At that time, the contractor can choose to convert the 7-day stay in the present world into stay time in the paradise according to the rule of 4 hours more for each level of the brand, until the brand level reaches LV.42 or above, that is, after reaching the fifth level and experiencing at least one world progress, the upper limit will be reached again.

As for what happens later, according to the information Xin Lailai had found before, there seemed to be other ways to increase the length of stay in the park after reaching a high level, but he didn't know what they were specifically. He could only speculate that it was most likely related to the "contribution" to the park itself.

——However, these have nothing to do with him for now.

Right now, he just wanted to seize every minute and every second to test out the specific data of this newly created spell!
[Tip: Conversion completed. The remaining stay time of the current pioneer in the Sanctuary Paradise has been increased to 80 hours, and the stay time in the present world has been reduced to 84 hours.]

The next second, a cold prompt sounded, but Xin Lailai, who was standing in front of the instrument, seemed to be deaf to it. She completely ignored the prompt at the edge of her sight and devoted herself to the testing of the spell.

……

……

Three days later, in the Lailai Cult training room.

boom--! !

[Test completed, this gravity intensity is: 100 standard gravity units, duration: 10 seconds]

On the empty training ground, a deafening roar exploded from mid-air, and a ball of rock that had been compressed to the limit fell heavily to the ground, splashing broken rocks all over the ground.

"In this way, the actual combat test is almost done."

On the training ground, Xin Lailai looked at the data displayed on the console screen, glanced at the newly added "Crystal Gravity Technique" in the "Self-Developed Skills" in his skill list, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Crystal gravity magic.

This is the final name of the spell they developed in the past few days that uses magic power to interfere with the operation of gravity.

Just as Kagus reminded them, after giving up on using magic power to create a source of gravity, Xin Lailai directly downgraded the theoretical depth of spell development, from the original "space-time curvature" theory to the ordinary "law of gravity". To put it simply, he no longer pursued the essence of "gravity", but simply regarded "gravity" as a force, and used it to develop spells.

In fact, this kind of deep downgrade operation is not uncommon in the field of spells, or it can be said that the difference between many low-level spells and high-level spells in this world lies in the different theories they use.

For example, the most classic fireball technique, on the surface, is actually to heat the flammable gas and ignite it. However, if the principles of fireball technique are continuously studied in depth, it will extend to a series of theories so profound that the brain will buzz, such as the nature of combustion, the nature of gas, energy transfer... and so on, and then evolve into a series of mid-, high-level and even super-level spells such as matter ignition technique, energy ignition technique, molecular decomposition technique, big explosion technique... and so on. The starting point of all these spells is actually the most common fireball technique.

This is the charm of magic. It is not like a technique that can be practiced by just thinking about it, nor is there any such thing as chopping a wooden stake ten thousand times to upgrade. In the magic, if you can, you can, and if you can't, you can't. Probability is just a set of data, and miracles are just the inevitability of accidental factors. Behind every powerful spell that reaches the sky, there must be a lot of theory as the cornerstone to support this power.

For a novice in the technical field, comprehending the traces left by other technical masters can often bring huge gains, and may even allow one's own technical level to leap forward. However, for a novice in the magic field, if one does not master the corresponding basic theory... or if there is a theoretical gap in the leap forward, then even if one stares at a high-level spell for ten thousand years, one will not be able to see anything.

"The maximum distortion is 102.5 standard gravity units, the maximum coverage radius is 1726m, the maximum mana consumption is 17691.5 points/second, and the mana consumption is a standard low linear ratio. Perfect!"

Xin Lailai recalled the data of the crystal mana spell in his mind, looked at the mess in front of him, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Judging from the test results, the "Crystal Gravity Technique", which mainly interferes with the direction of gravity, can be said to have perfectly met his expectations in terms of overall performance.

Now, if he wants to create a 'gravity-free' space with a length, width and height of 100 meters each, he only needs to use the "Crystal Gravity Technique" to distort the direction of the gravity in the area that matches the gravity value range, so that it extends from vertically downward to the ground and then turns upward, which can directly offset the gravity in the area.

Not only that, if he wanted, he could even make the designated enemy suddenly experience an upward traction force that was dozens of times stronger than the standard gravity unit. This was equivalent to making an enemy that was moving on the ground at supersonic speed suddenly change into a parabolic motion, or making a teammate who was sprinting suddenly have a new positive acceleration. If this feature was used well, it would be a magical-level control and auxiliary ability.

——As for whether the enemy will be immune to this kind of "control", this is basically impossible. After all, in principle, the "control" caused by crystal technology is not control at all, but an indirect impact brought about by changing the physical environment.

This kind of control can no longer be solved by spell resistance that simply exists to protect against damage caused by extraordinary energies such as mana or elements. At least from the results of their tests with the White Night Projection, even the Slayer who can be greatly immune to various spells and magical damage cannot avoid being sent into the sky by the Crystal Gravity.

Of course, it would be another matter if the opponent actively released extraordinary energy to destroy the magic power in the air that interfered with gravity, but this is a shortcoming that all spells... or all continuous-effect abilities based on extraordinary energy inevitably come with, and it is not something he can change whether he wants to or not.

"Come to think of it, Lailai, we have created so many spells without realizing it, eh?"

Ling Yuzi's voice sounded, and the girl looked at the skill interface of the two and blinked.

"Well, if you look closely, there are quite a few."

Xin Lailai nodded slightly, looking at the list of her own spells, a hint of recognition in her eyes.

Since the creation of Crystalline Magic, the number of their self-created spells has been increasing. From the beginning to now, there are nearly a whole page of spells on their skill list. As for their specific appearance, it is as follows:
[Self-developed ability list (magic)]...

Skill 1, Crystal Magic (Structural Spell): Use magic power to interfere with the flow of force, forming various physical effects.

Skill 2, Life Crystal Suturing 2.0 (Structural Spell): Converts life energy into crystal threads to repair the body at the cellular level. The current repair accuracy is 0.05μm (most organelles can be repaired).

Skill 3, Demon Crystal Creation (Structural Spell): Converts demonic power into demon crystals, greatly improving stability, and can freely change the direction of damage caused by the explosion of demonic power.

Skill 4, Angel Crystal Creation (Structural Spell): Converts angel power into angel crystals, greatly improving stability, and can freely change the direction of damage caused by angel power when it is activated.

Skill 5, Psychic Acceleration (Structural Spell): Strengthens body cells with soul energy and mental power, greatly improving nerve reflex speed, dynamic vision and thinking reaction speed, but will cause a greater burden on the body. The current maximum gain limit is 500 points of body speed (equivalent to 113.6% of the self-increase).

Skill 6, Crystal Gravity (Structural Spell): Use magic power to interfere with the direction of gravity, creating various physical effects.

……

There are six spells in total. Except for the psychic acceleration spell, all the others are abilities developed based on the crystal spell, and they are all structural spells.

It's not that Xin Lailai deliberately did not develop elemental spells, but elemental spells are difficult to get started with, but very easy to master, and there are also a large number of cases created by predecessors that can be copied. It can even be said that for any elemental spell he can think of now, there is basically a 99% or even 100% similar case in the database of the academic sect.

Therefore, even if they really need elemental spells, there is no need to develop them themselves. They only need to slightly modify the ready-made elemental magic or spells in their minds according to their own needs and use them directly, and the effect may be more powerful than what they develop themselves.

Just like the 'one-click spellcasting' framework in their spiritual world, they built it directly by referring to a document within the academic sect. The entire construction process went extremely smoothly, without encountering any unexpected situations beyond the scope of that document. The test results were also extremely perfect, which could be said to be a thousand times better than if they had tried it themselves.

It can be said that, thanks to the prevalence of elemental spells in the past, they now basically only need to study elemental spells carefully and follow suit. After all, no matter how great one's personal efforts are, they can never be better than the results selected by countless predecessors over a long period of time.

On the contrary, for structural spells, the key lies in the user himself rather than those objectively existing elements, which leads to the fact that there are basically no two structural spells developed by different wizards are the same. Moreover, those structural spells are basically only suitable for the developers themselves. Others will find it uncomfortable to use them.

Just like their Crystal Gravity Technique, if they teach this spell to a third-level wizard who does not have top-notch perception ability like the Star Field, it would be a big problem for the other party to be able to perform it, let alone perceive the gravitational field with mental power.

This is the difference between structural spells and elemental spells in use. It is precisely because of this difference that wizards rarely "copy homework" when it comes to structural spells. Instead, they tend to use the structural spells created by others as a reference to develop their own structural spells.

If elemental spells are difficult to learn but easy to master, then structural spells are the standard type that are easy to learn, but difficult to master to the point where countless mages who have just reached the Grandmaster level will doubt their lives. Even many high-level mages may maintain a glorious record of 0 in the 'Original Spells' column because they have not been able to develop a structural spell that is better than an elemental spell of the same level.

"Unfortunately, time is still a little too tight."

Finally, Xin Lailai looked at her secondary occupation skill panel with a hint of regret in her eyes.

Because they had so many things to do during their return, they had no time to learn soul science and alchemy. As a result, their soul rune science was stuck at an extremely embarrassing level of LV.9. Soul mysticism and soul weapon science also stopped at LV.7 and LV.5 respectively. As for alchemy biology and sealing science, since they had already passed the threshold of LV.20, it did not seem too embarrassing.

The same goes for the alchemical creatures used by Ling Yuzi. Because they have been busy developing spells during this period, they have no extra energy to refine those things. They can only ask Yamu to help purchase a batch of products.

[Tip: The Pioneer's current stay in the Sanctuary Paradise is about to reach its limit and will soon return to the "real world"]

[Tip: Because the Pioneers will enter the "Dead Sea Ruins" area in the next world, and the members who enter in the same batch have inconsistent progress, according to the regulations, the Pioneers will stay in reality for an additional 68 hours after returning this time]

A cold prompt sounded, and Xin Lailai looked at the retention prompt that suddenly popped up in front of him, without much surprise in his eyes.

The length of stay in the present world would change in some cases. He had already learned about this from the regulations. When the paradise planned to send multiple pioneers to a certain world, but the length of stay of these pioneers in the paradise was different, some adjustments would often be made to their length of stay in the present world, and if necessary, their length of stay in the paradise would even be extended.

For example, in the previous world, Yamu and the Dead Master, one had his stay in Paradise extended, and the other was recruited in advance by Paradise, allowing them to successfully enter the Dicuo world at the same progress.

This time, because Yamu came back nearly three days later than them, it was natural for them to wait for the other party's stay to end.

In other words, as long as there are no points that can be punished, most of the time when encountering this situation, the party with insufficient stay time will wait for the party whose stay time has not yet ended. This can be regarded as a hidden benefit of the park for those pioneers who complete the task quickly.

Then, Xin Lailai looked at Ling Yuzi beside him, and after they nodded to each other, he took out the black maple tea that had been brewed and placed in the storage space, sat on the ground, drank it all, and then fell straight to the ground with the sound of the teacup falling.

After a few seconds, the cold countdown ended, and the two figures instantly disappeared from the spot.

[Transmission begins, location: real world]

……

……

At the same time, in the void, the shallow layer of the abyss.

[Reminder: The assessment task has been completed, current assessment evaluation: Excellent]

[Reminder: According to the regulations, the temporary unit number 05891 is officially granted a notarized identity, and the initial identity is changed to "Arbitrator". This notarization will be carried out after returning to the Sanctuary Paradise]

[Reminder: Because the temporary unit No. 05891 is currently in a state of deep trauma and cannot bear the load of returning, the temporary unit No. 05891 will be temporarily transferred to the Void First Transfer Station for treatment. The cost of this treatment will be fully borne by the Sanctuary Paradise.]

[Reminder: Transmission is about to begin. This transmission method is "stable transmission". Estimated preparation time: 30 seconds]

"Hoo... ph... ph...!"

In a gloomy cave, a white-haired young man with only the lower sleeve of his left arm left, wounds of varying sizes all over his body and blood all over his face was lying on the ground. He was gasping for breath and trying to meditate according to the method taught by the figure in his memory, mobilizing the magic power and life energy in his body to stabilize his injuries.

Finally... passed?

The white-haired boy listened to the cold voice echoing in his mind, looked at the pale white light beam descending from above, and a relieved smile appeared on his tired, blood-stained face, as if a heavy burden had suddenly been lifted from his shoulders.

In this way, Miss Aisi and the others should all be saved...

As for Lady Hestia and Lily, we should be able to pick them up by then...

correct.

Almost forgot.

As for Brother Black Sword, I have to tell him too...

After arriving at the transfer station, he wrote a letter to Brother Black Sword. He remembered that he could send emails for free at the transfer station...

I'm so sleepy that I can hardly open my eyes...

The white-haired boy looked at the gradually blurred vision in front of him, recalling the appearance of the black-haired young man in his memory. The fatigue that he had been suppressing through meditation in his mind quickly surged into his heart due to his relaxed mood, causing his vision to quickly become blurred.

By the way, if I were to write a letter to Brother Black Sword, how would I start?

[Reminder: Preparation is complete, about to be teleported to "Void First Transfer Station", please be ready for the transmission]

Well, it’s decided…

Just from what he experienced...

After all, given Brother Black Sword's personality, he should be interested in these stories, right?

【Transmission starts】

The next second, a cold reminder sounded, and the figure of the white-haired boy suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving only bloodstains on the ground and a gradually dissipating beam of light, proving what had happened here.
