The Wizarding Age

Obelisk.

As a rare architectural wonder in the world, Greem has always been very curious about the obelisk.

When he was a young wizard in central China, he read about the legend of the obelisk from many ancient books. According to legend, the obelisk is not a magical building built by any race, but a strange and mysterious device that drilled out of the depths of the earth on its own.

The location where it appears is not fixed and is almost completely random, but it often only appears in deserts, wastelands, jungles, etc. where there are few human traces. Moreover, once someone visits, the obelisk will disappear again and no one will see it again until hundreds of years later.

The obelisk has no doors or windows. It is just an irregular rectangular parallelepiped with the top gathered together in the shape of spikes. The overall height is thirty meters, and the column is about as thick as ten people hugging each other. There are approximately six sides of the cuboid, which are engraved with densely packed strange symbols that are almost impossible to identify. The flow and existence of any magical energy cannot be felt throughout the body. On the surface, it looks like a stone creation with a strange appearance.

On the thirtieth day of his visit to the wizarding world, Greem returned to the Silver Alliance as agreed, and once again visited the mysterious prophet, Tower Master Quedanlin. Under the guidance of the latter, he also saw this legendary and strange obelisk in the core area of ​​the Sky City of the Silver Alliance.

The obelisk stands in a wide, empty hall, alone, without any living creatures or facilities around it. It is completely black and seems to be cut from some kind of stone. Its surface is flat and smooth, and is densely covered with countless mysterious symbols. ,

The first time he saw it, Greem had a strange feeling of being dazzled and wanting to worship it. The simple and majestic monument exuded an indescribable sense of historical vicissitudes and the weight of time.

"This is the obelisk!" Qudanlin led Greem to the entrance of the hall and stopped taking a step forward. He pointed at the obelisk and said with emotion: "There are many descriptions of the obelisk in the world, most of them regard it as a magical object, and some people regard it as a wish-making machine, but these descriptions are not correct..."

"Then what exactly is it?" Greem asked curiously while feeling the strange feeling the obelisk brought to him from afar.

"Altar!" Kui Danlin chuckled and said, "I'm afraid people in the world would scratch their heads and never imagine that the legendary obelisk is actually just an altar, a wonderful altar that communicates plane consciousness..."

"Communicating plane consciousness..." Greem couldn't help but ponder.

As a great wizard who has gone out into the wizarding world, Greem is no stranger to plane consciousness, and has even had the experience of directly communicating with plane consciousness several times. However, that feeling is often very vague and vague, and it is difficult to compare it with the unique human communication experience.

"The consciousness of the plane is high and ethereal. There are very few ways to communicate with it, and it is often only a few moments. People will miss it if they hesitate for a moment. Therefore, the communication experience that can be passed down is often with the great wizard. Relevantly, since humans below the Grand Wizard cannot touch the level of laws, even if they perceive the existence of plane consciousness, it is difficult to communicate with it..." Qudanlin introduced to Greem in detail.

"And this obelisk is a mysterious creation created by plane consciousness according to a system of rules. Even if you are just an ordinary human being, as long as you encounter the obelisk by chance, you can rely on it to directly communicate with the ethereal plane consciousness..."

"It is precisely because it is so mysterious that after studying it for so many years, we still can't figure out how it appeared, what material it is made of, and what is the pattern of its appearance... We only know that whenever someone visits After that, it will disappear mysteriously and then appear in another mysterious place!”

Hearing this, Greem was also a little surprised and asked curiously: "In that case, why did you build a hall for it and lock it up? Aren't you afraid that it would escape and disappear again?"

Kui Danlin's old face wearing tortoise shell glasses showed a strange smile and said: "Of course we don't have the ability to trap the obelisk, but the three ancient kings have..." He pointed to the sky with his right index finger and said happily : "When the three ancient kings left the wizarding world, they specially built this magic hall and then trapped the obelisk here. In this way, even if someone visits it, it will still appear here when it disappears and reappears. . Therefore, we have a channel that can permanently communicate plane consciousness..."

"That's it!" Greem suddenly realized.

However, no matter how he observed and explored the magic hall in front of him, he still could not detect any clues or clues. It is not surprising to think about it. The mysterious methods of the three ancient kings are not something that a sixth-level wizard like him can easily see through.

"You brought me here to communicate with me about plane consciousness? What good will this do to you?" Greem finally asked the question in his mind.

"Don't use your intrigues to compare us. We are secret scholars. We are only responsible for observing and recording the operation of the wizarding world, but do not interfere. So, you don't have to worry about any malicious intent in my every move. I I only do what fate wants me to do..." Kuidan Lin said proudly.

His true rank cannot be seen by Grim, but he has definitely not crossed the fourth-level threshold to become a demigod, otherwise his body and soul would not slowly decay. And this is such a 'humble' existence who is at least two levels lower than himself, but he has strong faith and perseverance that ordinary people can't imagine.

This couldn't help but make Greem stand in awe!

"You mean... it was fate that led you to come here?" Greem grasped Guan Jian instantly.

"Yes!" Kuidan Lin nodded and confirmed: "Go and communicate with the plane consciousness. This will be good for you and the wizarding world..."

After saying that, Kuidanlin said no more, turned around and walked away, leaving only Greem at the door.

Greem hesitated for a moment, then secretly said to Chip: "Chip, pay attention to observe and record my status, and notify me in time if anything happens!" After making all preparations, he carefully stepped into the hall and walked slowly step by step. That mysterious obelisk.

And his arrival seemed to awaken the building.

The dark body of the obelisk began to tremble slightly, and an elusive and strange hum sounded in the hall. The strange feeling of being washed away by time and experiencing a long vicissitudes of history appeared again.

"Hey, I sensed a strange change in time and space. It has no effect on the subject at the moment..."

"Keep observing, keep recording!"

The distance was not far, and Greem quickly reached the strange obelisk. Looking up at the towering monument, feeling the weight of history coming towards his face, he carefully placed his right hand on the monument.

Buzz…

There was a strange buzzing sound, and Greem's brain seemed to have been hit by some kind of historical torrent. The space in front of him was upside down, time and space were confused, and the whole person was lost in the mighty river of destiny...

"...Grim..."

A loud sound that seemed to come from the ancient times penetrated time and space, penetrated history, and reached Greem's ears.

He couldn't help but open his eyes.

hiss……

The moment he opened his eyes and saw the world, his whole body was shocked and numb.

At this moment, he was standing in the void, with nothing to rely on at his feet, and in the depths of the distant darkness, the world of planes as bright as stars could be clearly seen. They were far away in the horizon, but close in front of him. . Through the layers of translucent boundary films, one can vaguely see the bizarre and bizarre world inside the plane...

A huge consciousness that has existed since ancient times lingers around Greem, examining him and studying him, and finally turns into a terrifying torrent of consciousness that connects him...

"...As a native creature of the wizarding world, you will be qualified to leave a mark of consciousness in the origin of the plane. In this way, even if you fall somewhere in the future, you can be resurrected with this mark of consciousness..."

It turns out to be the imprint of leftover consciousness...

I have experienced the same thing before...

That is to leave the imprint of consciousness in the fire soul when the fire elemental plane advances to the sixth level...

Now leaving another one is equivalent to double insurance. You can freely choose where to resurrect according to the situation...

It seems that this is the basic benefit brought by his dual identity as a wizard and a flame lord...

Just as Greem was thinking about it, the grand consciousness continued to communicate...

"...Sacrifice..."

"As long as you sacrifice qualified items, you can get relatively generous rewards..."

"Sacrificing 10,000 source materials can randomly obtain the power of a basic law of the plane..."

"Sacrificing 50,000 source materials can specifically obtain the power of a basic law of the plane..."

"Sacrificing millions of source materials can randomly obtain the power of a high-level law of the plane (except for the laws of time, space, and fate)..."

"Sacrificing five million source materials can specifically obtain the power of a high-level law of the plane (except for the laws of time, space, and fate)..."

"Sacrificing alien laws, knowledge, and creations is equivalent to the above content..."

The loud voice was deafening, repeating the above content continuously until all the information was completely etched into Greem's brain.

Greem suddenly realized it and understood the significance of the existence of the obelisk.

It turns out that it is an additional way for plane consciousness to obtain external resources.

Sacrifice...

Sacrifice is the real core...

And the material that plane consciousness wants to obtain most is the ‘source’!

Greem had come into contact with the Sefirot before, but the Sephiroth mentioned in the list seemed to be different from those he had come into contact with.

Essentially, Sefirah is a creative force that can create out of nothing the basic substances that make up the world of planes based on the four origins (earth, fire, water, and wind). Therefore, wizards often call Sephiroth " The origin of the plane'.

Most of the time, the origins of these planes are hidden deep inside the plane, constantly extracting the four elements to create the earth, sky, mountains, rivers, trees, minerals, and countless strange creatures on which all things depend...

The origin of the plane is the basis for the existence of the plane. Once the loss is lost, the plane will lose its vitality.

If you think of a plane as a person, the origin of the plane is the blood that flows endlessly in the human body. Without it or missing it, there will be big problems.

Under normal circumstances, the origin of the plane cannot be touched.

It is just a force, a concept, a kind of empty energy circulating within the rule system. But as long as it exists, there is a special way to obtain ‘it’.

Many powerful beings will force the original power to become material and concrete by destroying the plane. When the embodied original power is combined with the matter of the plane, it will form the so-called 'source substance', an entity visible to the naked eye. Real objects that are tangible.

According to Grimm's knowledge, a well-developed demiplane will contain about 500-800 units of essence, a small plane will contain about 10,000 essences, a medium plane will contain about 1 million essences, and a large plane like the wizard world will have at least 100 million essences...

A quarter of an hour later, Grimm quietly left the hall where the obelisk was located.

An hour later, Grimm directly left the wizard world.
