Super Dimensional Wizard

Chapter 3454 Star Spirit Realm

 “Shadows of billions of silent planets…?”

Angel whispered in a low voice and repeated Gleipnir's words.

There are two key words in this sentence that make Angel very concerned.

 “Billions and billions” seems to be an extremely large quantifier, which is almost never used in daily life.

Angel paid attention to this word because it was used in the first sentence of the prologue of "Book of the Starry Sky" - "I bring billions of star spirits with me to provide continuous help to those who use the power of the starry sky. "

Angor did not believe that Graipnir would mention it inexplicably for such a huge quantifier that was difficult to comprehend.

 It must have a deep connection with "Book of Starry Sky".

 The second word that Angell paid attention to was "planet".

 In other words, the concept of “planet” concerned Angel very much.

If you are in the universe where Jon is from, almost everyone understands the concept of "planet", which is a huge celestial body in the universe.

  It can even be said that Jon’s hometown, the earth, is essentially a planet.

  But the concept of "planet" does not exist in the wizarding world.

If Gleipnir hadn't mentioned the "planet" today, Angel would never have even thought that there would be a "planet" in the universe where they were.

“Or maybe I misunderstood, this planet is not that planet?” Angel thought to himself.

Angor himself definitely couldn't figure out this problem just by "thinking", so he didn't continue to do useless work and directly asked about his inner doubts.

“What does the shadow of billions of stars mean?” Angel: “What kind of concept is a planet?”

 A few seconds later, a response came from Gleipnir.

"What kind of concept is a planet? I don't know, because I have never seen it. I can only summarize what I understand... from the few remaining words in some books about the star spirit world."

Gleipnir pondered for a moment and began to talk about the "planet" in her understanding.

As she told it, Angel gradually learned about a secret that he had never heard of in the Southern Territory.

 —The world of stars.

Humistically, according to the classification of worlds, the Star Spirit Realm is actually similar to the Mirror Realm, the Dream Realm, the Soul Plane, etc. It is a special world.

 Its power can cover the boundless plane.

 almost in any world, as long as there is night, as long as there is light, and there is suitable weather for observation, you can see a sky full of stars when you look up at the sky.

This endless starry sky is related to the projection of the star spirit world.

 The star spirit world can project the starry sky to all worlds. From this, we can also know that it is a special world.

 What kind of world is the astral world? Gleipnir had never been there, so she didn't know. But through the records in many classics, she roughly figured out some general information about the star spirit world.

 The star spirit world is full of dark voids.

In the dark void, there is no sound, no air, no living beings, no light source... nothing, just like an oppressive void.

However, the astral world is not only dark and empty.

 There are billions of planets.

The "billions" here is not a specific number, but a general reference to the endless number of planets in the star spirit world.

 If you want to change a word, you can use "countless" to express the number of planets.

It’s just that “countless” cannot express the shocking feeling of the number, so there is a number that is clear at a glance like “billions” as a proxy.

These billions of planets are floating in the dark void of the star spirit world.

 Each planet is as huge as a world.

 They rely on the luminous planet to shine, showing bright light and shadow, and projecting it into the real world.

 This became...the starry sky.

Gleipnir: "This is the planet I know. There is only so much I can summarize from the auspicious light in those classics."

 Simply put, it is a huge celestial body floating in a dark void and made of unknown matter.

 Each planet is as big as the world. - This is also recorded in the books, but whether it is so big, Gleipnir has never seen it with her own eyes, and she doesn't know.

After listening to Gleipnir's story, Angel felt his scalp numb.

 Because, how similar is this so-called dark void to the cosmic void that Jon once told about?

 The void of the universe refers to the place in the universe outside the fiber-like structures that are dotted with galaxies, where there is only the darkness of eternal night and boundless coldness.

　To put it in more vernacular language, it means that when you raise your head and look at the starry sky, you will remove the large piece of dark curtain with the shining stars.

These are the cosmic voids, which are far away from the stars.

 In the void of the universe, there are only dim stars and very few galaxies.

 The above is Jon’s description of the Earthlings’ view of the universe.

From a certain perspective, the dark void that Graipnir calls is very similar to the void in the universe.

Furthermore, there are countless planets floating in the void. Does this seem to have some connection with the universe observed by people on earth?

Thinking of this, Angel suddenly had a guess.

 Is the world Jon lives in really another universe?

 Could it be that the universe over there actually refers to the star spirit world?

 Further derivation, does the earth exist in the astral world?

If this guess is correct, then wouldn’t there be new clues to help Jon find his way home?

Angor felt that the emotions in his heart began to expand, and those thoughts that had been dormant for a long time began to slowly become active.

Forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart, Angel took a deep breath and asked: "You just said that each of those planets is as big as the world, so...are there really living people on these planets?"

Gleipnir: "Of course it exists, because only planets with living creatures will give birth to star spirits."

Protoss? Angel frowned, what is this?

Graipnir: "Star Spirit, you can understand it as world consciousness. But it is somewhat different from world consciousness. World consciousness has no intelligence and is a collection of countless consciousnesses; but Star Spirit has intelligence. , they can even turn into intelligent beings.”

 In ancient times, star spirits were also called planetary consciousness, which is why they can be compared with world consciousness.

But now, the planetary consciousness has been renamed "Star Spirit".

 Because "Star Spirits" themselves don't like the name "Planetary Consciousness". Compared with planetary consciousness, they are more like the planet becoming a spirit, so they call it...Star Spirits.

 After listening to Graipnir’s explanation this time, Angel felt as if his brain was overloaded again and became burdened.

Protoss? Is this Gaian consciousness?

If only planets with living people can give birth to star spirits, then if the earth is in the star spirit world, then there should also be star spirits on the earth?

 But Jon never mentioned that there were any protoss on Earth.

Even the concept of "Gaia consciousness" is only a legend on Earth and has never been confirmed.

  Could it be that his conjecture is wrong and that the earth is not actually in the star spirit world? The star spirit world is not the so-called earth universe?

Angor thought for a moment and asked, "Do the people living on the planet know about the existence of the stars?"

Gleipnir nodded: "Of course I know. Even outsiders like us can know the existence of the Protoss. They will definitely know."

“It is said that the stars will guide the intelligent beings on the planet to move forward. You can even understand that the stars are their kings.”

Hearing this, Angel became less and less confident about the answer "The earth is in the star spirit world".

If the Star Spirits will guide civilization forward, the people on earth must know about the Star Spirits, but neither the holographic tablet nor Jon’s narration has ever advanced the Star Spirits.

 So, the speculation that the earth is in the star spirit world is slowly beginning to waver.

However, Angel still did not give up completely. After thinking about it, he asked two questions in succession: "Do humans exist in the astral world? How can I go to the astral world?"

Because Jon is a human, if human civilization exists in the Star Spirit World, the probability of Earth being in the Star Spirit World will increase.

However, Greipnir's answer made Angel very disappointed: "Human civilization is a unique existence. I have never heard of human civilization existing in the star spirit world. Even if there are some that look like humans, their essence is And definitely not human.”

“For example, the Shadow Royal Family of the Changhuo Tribe, except that their skin color is darker, they look the same as humans. Are they humans? No.”

“The internal structure of their bodies is completely different from humans. They can only be called humanoids.”

 In the star spirit world, there may be human-like civilization, but there is absolutely no human civilization.

 This answer reduces the speculation that the earth is in the spiritual world again.

 Because Sanders once examined Jon, although Jon was rejected by the world consciousness of the wizarding world, he was undoubtedly a human being from soul to physical structure.

"As for how to get to the Star Spirit Realm..." Gleipnir shook his head slightly: "No one knows."

Angor: "Isn't the Star Spirit World a special world? Why does no one know how to enter the Star Spirit World?"

Gleipnir sighed and said: "The star spirit world is different from other special worlds. We only know of its existence, but we have no way to enter it."

 “It is an absolutely closed world.”

Angel frowned and said: "But, you just said that the protoss themselves are not satisfied with the name of 'planetary consciousness' given by humans, so they have the title of protoss. Doesn't that mean that there is a way to contact them? From the Protoss?"

Since we can contact the stars, how come there is no way to enter the world of stars?

Grapnir's answer shocked Angel again.

"Star spirits can be projected from the star spirit world. They can exist in the form of projections in reality." Greipnir: "However, their projections are not active projections, but require someone to project them. call."

At this point, Gleipnir also revealed a secret that Angel had never heard of.

"By the way, it is said that some summoning wizards in the source world can summon star spirits. The summoned star spirits have the power of stars and are more powerful than many demonic creatures summoned from other worlds."

“And these summoners who can summon star spirits to fight are also called... star spirit warlocks.”

“Many secrets about the star spirit world came from the star spirit sorcerers. Including the author of the Starry Sky Book, the Son of the Stars, who is said to be a star spirit sorcerer.”

“Of course, in addition to the Star Spirit Warlock, the Son of the Star may also be the Star Faller.”

Angor was digesting the summoner profession "Star Spirit Warlock", which he had heard for the first time one second, and caught a new word "Star Faller" the next second.

 His mouth is faster than his brain. Angel didn’t even think about it, so he subconsciously asked: “What is a Star Faller?”

Gleipnir: "They are the creatures that left the Astral Realm and came to the present world. They were originally creatures from the Astral Realm, but now that they have entered the present world, they are called Star Fallers."

Angel's eyes flickered: "The Star Faller is also a projection, just like the star spirit summoned by the star spirit warlock?"

Gleipnir denied: "No, they have real bodies."

 Real body? Angel didn't come back to his senses at first, but when he thought about this sentence carefully, he immediately reacted: "You mean, the Star Fallers come from the Star Spirit World? Since they can leave from the Star Spirit World, then... "

Before Angor finished speaking, Graipnir interrupted: "I know what you want to say. Since the Star Faller can leave the Star Spirit World, there must be a way to enter the Star Spirit World."

 Angel nodded.

 If there is a way to leave, there must be a way to enter. This is the situation of two sides of the same body, just like light and shadow. Where there is light, there must be shadow.

Gleipnir: "Indeed, many people believe that if there is a person who descends the star, there must be someone who ascends the star. Unfortunately, so far, there is no news that can prove that there is a way to enter the star spirit world."

“Even the summoned star spirit projection himself said that the star spirit world cannot be entered.”

“The Star Spirit World, at least until now, is still just a special world that can only be exited but not entered.”

 “Only getting out but not getting in…” Angel repeated this conclusion in a low voice, but he still didn’t believe it in his heart.

 In his view, the astral world is similar to the former Quest world, that is, the soul plane.

In the past, the world of Quest was also considered a one-way ticket. Only after a living person dies and becomes an undead can he enter it. However, with the development and innovation of soul power, powerful undead spirits have come to the world in the Quest world, and living people also have ways to enter the Quest world.

Especially soul-based wizards, many of their powerful spells must go to the world of Quest to successfully practice them.

 So, although only a few people can enter the Quest world, it is still much better than the "one-way ticket" thought in the past.

 Similarly, Angel feels that the same may be true in the star spirit world.

 Today's consensus on the world of stars is: only exit but not entry.

 But that’s only now.

 With the research on the astral world, there may be a way to enter it in the future. It's even possible that at this moment in an unknown place that they don't understand, someone has already figured out a way to enter the star spirit world.
