Xu Zhi stared at the eternal lamp for a long time without moving. She was thinking, what moved her lamp?
It wouldn't be a living person who was accidentally drawn in here, because after a living person came in and found this lamp, he would naturally find that the lamp is helpful for living creatures to walk in the middle of the night, and he would not put it down.
In other words, the creature that touched the light should be a creature of the midnight.
But even creatures of the midnight should not give up after discovering the magical use of this lamp.
Unless, it was put there intentionally, to indicate: Look, I found this, I didn't take it away.
Xu Zhi inexplicably smelled a hint of flattery, or perhaps friendliness?
After all, if she had just taken the lamp away, she would have known that someone had discovered her place, but the other party chose to leave the lamp behind and simply moved it.
Of course, the most crucial thing is that the eternal lamp has the effect of [exorcism]. Ordinary midnight creatures cannot easily get close to it, let alone pick up the lamp within the range of the light. Either the creature that picks up the lamp is unusual, or its strength far exceeds Xu Zhi.
No matter which one, Xu Zhi was very interested.
The eternal lamp belonged to her. She could easily sense whether the lamp in front of her had been tampered with, and naturally she could also know whether there was any danger within the range covered by the light. That was why she dared to guess that the other party was sending a friendly signal. She moved closer and carefully observed the nearby ground, her own tombstone and the lamp, and did not find any signs of brute force damage.
Unfortunately, apart from the light being moved, the other party did not leave any other clues.
"Didn't you stay, or was it impossible to stay?"
Xu Zhi only thought about it for a while and didn't waste any more time. No matter who the other person was, she would leave traces before leaving tonight. If the other person didn't pass by here by chance, he would probably see her again.
Just wait and see if you see a response the next time you come in.
The most important thing now is that after digesting the slight sequelae of recording the midnight rules fragments before, she felt her mind was clearer than ever before. Perhaps, her affinity and resistance to the rules have also increased. After the efforts during the day, her extraordinary level has also increased. Now, it is time to challenge the midnight rules again.
This time, she will try to remember more fragments of the rules, and preferably successfully draw the "appearance" of the rules.
When Xu Zhi once again opened the [Eye of Prying Eyes] and looked directly at the midnight sky, her eyes no longer felt stinging because of the symbols she saw, and her brain no longer trembled with fear caused by the "unknown and mysterious". For the first time, she was able to look directly at the [Rules] so calmly.
It seems that her affinity and resistance to [Rules] have indeed been greatly improved after constantly copying the fragments in her mind.
Perhaps, when she can "imitate the written rules," that is when she can begin to truly understand the rules.
This time, Xu Zhi watched very carefully. Even though she did not understand these mysterious symbols, it did not prevent her from being fascinated by them just by looking at them.
Time seemed to have passed for a long time, yet it seemed like only a moment had passed. She was immersed in the "galaxy" composed of silver regular symbols, until her brain could no longer bear the excessive "information" and issued a series of painful warnings, and she came to her senses.
When she came to her senses, closed her [Prying Eyes] and gently rubbed her temples to carefully recall the new fragments recorded in her mind, she was surprised to find that she had recorded almost ten times more rule fragments than before!
"Sure enough, I'm not doing useless work."
However, even though the number of rule fragments is ten times more than before, it is still not enough compared to the huge rule as a whole at midnight, which is almost as big as the Milky Way in Xu Zhi's eyes.
However, seeing the big picture from the small, and breaking the surface with a point, Xu Zhi felt that what was important now was not whether she could "see" and remember the complete midnight rules in one breath, but whether she could break through a point first, and understand even a symbol first. As long as she understood a symbol, she would be able to open up the situation.
However, Xu Zhi still has no idea how to "understand" it.
She couldn't figure out anything useful by thinking about it randomly, and it was completely impossible to use common sense to infer what the symbols derived from these rules represented. She could only do something that she thought was useful.
For example, try portraying.
This was undoubtedly an extremely difficult task, and it was also one of the few things Xu Zhi had done since leaving the Federation, something he had tried his best but failed to accomplish.
But she was not discouraged by this, and was even eager to continue the challenge.
She didn't believe she would always fail.
However, at the moment, Xu Zhi did not impulsively start to try to carve it directly. Instead, under the warm light of the eternal lamp, he kept reviewing the new rule symbols he saw tonight in his mind.
As she used her consciousness to outline the new symbolic rules in her mind over and over again, Xu Zhi had a vague premonition that she seemed to be gaining some kind of invisible "improvement" through such actions.
After completing the tenth "review" and revisiting the clips he had seen before several times, Xu Zhi finally calmed down and rested for a long time, allowing his brain to recover to its best condition and start a new round of attempts.
This time, she used her fingertips as a pen and the midnight earth as paper, once again trying to carve the rules unique to midnight on it.
If one were to ask what would be the most suitable carrier to best depict the midnight rules, Xu Zhi would think that there was nothing more suitable than the earth that carried these rules.
At the beginning, it was still extremely difficult for her to put pen to paper. This difficulty was not like the obstacle she encountered when she was trying to construct the [Heart] attribute circuit and was about to put down the last stroke, but a state where she almost didn't know how to put pen to paper.
It's like someone asking you to use an A4 sheet of paper and an ordinary pencil to draw a real three-dimensional object that can be picked up and used directly from the paper.
How is this possible?
How should I start this?
What Xu Zhi is facing now is the problem of approximation.
But fortunately, she had some "references" to learn from, so she was not completely clueless.
So she kept outlining the beginning of the passage in her mind over and over again, trying to memorize it by heart, and then, she kept trying to write it down when she felt best.
In this way, she experienced failure again and again, and persisted again and again. Her energy was constantly consumed, but it was miraculously replenished in some aspects.
And at a certain moment, perhaps it was just a very ordinary moment, or perhaps it was a special enough moment, Xu Zhi just felt that everything seemed to be a natural result, nothing special happened, and no special signs appeared. She just adjusted her breath as usual after another failure, and tried again for the hundredth time.
She didn't even have the mentality that she would succeed this time, she just did it calmly and steadily with a very skilled gesture.
Even when her finger drew a mysterious line on the opposite side, she didn't react much.
When the feeling of her fingers contacting the ground was clearly transmitted to her brain, she froze in place, carefully recalling the feeling of her fingers contacting the ground, and then a look of surprise suddenly burst out in her pupils!
".I succeeded?!"
Her body moved slightly because of the great surprise, but her fingers remained firmly on the ground without moving, as if she was afraid that she would never be able to put them down again after lifting them up.
“I did it!”
The girl repeated this sentence again.
A huge joy spread in her heart. This was a completely unexpected "surprise" that was different from many previous times!
She never thought that she would succeed at this moment, this time she put pen to paper!
She also thought that she would have to continue to spend a long, long time on this, so long that she herself could not predict it, before she could complete this.
This unexpected success undoubtedly made Xu Zhi feel happy for the first time in a long time, and what was even more surprising was that when she calmed down a little and continued, she did not encounter any obstacles!
She just followed the steps, slowly reproducing the symbols that she had already sketched countless times in her mind on the ground. The "cognitive barriers" that had originally hindered her disappeared at this moment. After she finished sketching the familiar fragments she had seen at first, she wanted to try to continue painting those she saw today, but her brushstrokes became obscure.
"Is it because I'm not skilled enough?"
Xu Zhi had to withdraw her hand because she felt that if she continued painting, she might ruin the "painting" in front of her.
When she withdrew her hand, closed her eyes, and leaned against the black tree to recall the "symbols" that she had already mastered, Xu Zhi was so shocked that she almost stood up!
She actually tasted a sense of "logic" from these familiar yet unfamiliar symbols!
This is just a feeling, a subconscious intuition, which cannot even be considered "cognition" or "knowledge", but it is a phenomenon that has never happened before!
In the past, even if she was proficient enough to memorize these symbols, she would only feel confused and disordered. But now, she could vaguely perceive some "logic" and "order" in them?!
She even felt that as long as she followed this feeling, she would be able to decipher the meaning of these symbols sooner or later!
"Is it because I succeeded in drawing it?"
No matter how you look at it, it can only be because of this.
"So, is being able to depict the symbols of the rules a must for beginners?"
She didn't know whether this was the way other extraordinary people understood the rules. After all, she never followed the beaten path. But no matter what, she had now found a feasible way to comprehend the rules.
Although this method would take up a lot of her time and energy, and there wasn't even any shortcut, at least it was something she figured out on her own.
Xu Zhi felt quite accomplished about this.
She thought, she was indeed a genius, and ordinary extraordinary people could not do what she did.
Surprises came one after another, and even for Xu Zhi, it took some time to calm herself down. Then, she was planning to continue copying the new rules in her mind, but she unexpectedly found that it was almost dawn.
"What took me so long?"
She was so focused, so absorbed, that she didn't even notice the passage of time.
"Forget it. The night time belongs to me anyway. Let's continue in the evening."
Moreover, during the day, she can also "review" in her mind while hunting, dividing one time into two.
However, before sunrise, Xu Zhi still had one thing to do.
Taking advantage of the fact that midnight can block most of the auras, Xu Zhi took out a wooden sign with the attribute of [Light], and then opened the [Prying Eyes] again to try to peek into the rules.
Then, as expected, this time she could not only clearly see the rules on the wooden sign, but also vaguely feel the "rules" of these rules.
If nothing goes wrong, the day she cracks the first symbol of midnight will be the day she cracks the rules of the wooden sign.
By then, she could sever her connection with the wooden sign at any time and completely take the power she already possessed for herself.
Even after continuously understanding the rules, she might be able to try to sever the connection between her spiritual body and the god with the [Cup] attribute!
This was a huge progress that was visible to the naked eye. By taking this step, she officially distinguished herself from ordinary extraordinary people.
Whether or not one understands the rules represents whether the extraordinary person has the potential to ascend.
Xu Zhi felt that she was undoubtedly the one with the most potential. After all, according to the news he had heard before, it always takes a lot of time for extraordinary people to come into contact with the rules for the first time. How long did it take her?
This even included the fleeting glimpse she had accidentally caught while in the Federation. Even so, the time she had spent far exceeded the time used by those rumored "genius" extraordinary people.
Xu Zhi cares about this. When it comes to power, she is not a person who is indifferent to desires. She cares a lot about gains and losses. She cares a lot about whether she can win and whether she can get ahead of everyone else. Confirming this will make her feel happy and at ease.
In the following days, Xu Zhi continued to improve her strength in the Lost Land, but the opportunity to carve the last [Start] attribute circuit never came. She thought that perhaps she would have to wait until she cracked the [rules].
After all, in a sense, what she is doing now is "breaking the rules."
At night, she always looked up at the patterns in the night sky when her mind was clearest, trying to record as many fragments as possible. Then, while resting, she would repeatedly depict these fragments in her mind, striving to memorize them as soon as possible.
During this period, Xu Zhi's body did not leave himself any breathing space. There was not a moment when he was completely idle. Even when he was resting, he was constantly "reviewing".
While the main body is so busy, the spiritual body seems extremely leisurely, even to the point of having nothing to do.
But such leisurely days did not last long.
Less than a month after the agent left and suddenly died, suddenly, a piece of news came out that was even more shocking than the agent's sudden death.
【God heard our prayers and answered them! 】
The source of the news is very reliable, which undoubtedly gives a great boost to the citizens who are in dire straits.
The spirit body was also very surprised when it saw this news in the news.
"God?"
"You mean gods of other attributes?"
Those gods who have always been invisible and seem to not exist?
