Chapter 88 I'll Give You a Gift
"Yuzu, why did that Abbot Jacques call me a druid? And what is that god of nature?"
Fang Yu gently tapped the steering wheel, and the wipers kept scraping away the rain running down the windshield.
Fang Yu followed the traffic into the ramp, and after passing two more intersections, he arrived at National University.
There are cameras everywhere in the city now. Since he didn't know whether there would be any abnormal sounds or lights when switching, Fang Yu deliberately drove the car to a place under the Guangping Road elevated road where there was no surveillance and satellites could not capture it when he chose to switch.
I even took out an old cell phone and turned on the camera to record what the scene was like when I left.
As soon as eight hours were up, Fang Yu and Youzi, who were sitting in the G500, switched back to Blue Star from the main plane without any warning.
It was raining heavily when we left, and it was still raining heavily when we came back.
At the same time, the Rubik's Cube gave another prompt, asking Fang Yu whether to set the northern part of Luwak in the main plane as the third anchor point.
After it is activated, Fang Yu can then switch between Blue Star and the main plane at the cost of 100 units of magic crystals.
After these two experiments, Fang Yu was basically able to confirm that the condition for opening the anchor point was to bring life forms from another world back to the blue planet.
The last time I opened the anchor point of the Lorin Tower demiplane was because I brought back Yuzu.
This time, when Fang Yu came back, he asked Youzi to use a detection technique on the grassland to find a giant wolf cub that was just born and had not yet opened its eyes and brought it back.
I don’t know if it is the cub of the two giant wolves that died.
Fang Yu planned to keep it for a few days and put it back next time he went to the main plane. He was not interested in keeping another pet.
Fang Yu was not too worried about whether he could raise the animal well or not. The first-level spell of the Enchanting School, Make Beast Your Friend, and the Animal Communication spell of the Prophecy School could make Fang Yu the strongest animal tamer.
The main reason is that it is too troublesome to raise such a thing in the city.
When a giant wolf grows up, the male wolf can be over 1.5 meters tall and over 2 meters long. Its weight of over 200 kilograms is twice as large as the largest Tibetan Mastiff. Even so, it is considered a medium-sized wolf among giant wolves.
If this ghost thing appears in the city, and if you don't keep an eye on it, it might go crazy one day and kill every child. It's no joke.
Even the urban-rural fringe area is not acceptable.
I got out of the car and picked up my old phone. It was still the time I chose to switch. From this video with only 60 frames per second, I could see that the angle and posture of this G500 suddenly changed in just one frame.
Originally the front of the car was facing inward, but now it is facing outward, and the gaps between the tires are mixed with mud brought back from another world.
Fang Yu used arcane tricks and fire shaping to clean it up, then got back in the car and drove to the National University.
He has two classes after half past ten.
Yuzu has become increasingly silent since leaving the main plane, and doesn't even want to watch Chinese Paladin 3.
"Yuzu?" Fang Yu patted the light blue crystal ball on the passenger seat. "I'm asking you a question."
"Ah? Sorry, Master, I didn't hear you." Yuzu flashed a blue light. "I was just wondering if the delay in the main plane's magic network nodes is related to these so-called gods."
"Oh? How do you mean?" Fang Yu was also very interested in this topic.
Yuzu flashed a few times before speaking, "I think the changes in the main plane's magic network nodes are most likely the influence of high-level beings in the astral realm. Only they can solidify node permissions, making it more difficult for others to connect to the nodes, causing node communication congestion."
"In other words, on the main plane, these high-level astral beings have become the sole authorized users of the main plane's magic network nodes. No one else will be able to cast spells through the nodes."
"Therefore, spellcasters can only trade with these high-level creatures by sacrificing their mental energy in exchange for the right to use spells."
"Didn't that old man say he could only cast two 2nd-level spells and four 1st-level spells a day? If he wanted to cast more, he'd have to wait until the next day. Furthermore, it was measured purely in time. When the time was up, the number of spells he could cast would automatically recover. Master, don't you think that's ridiculous?"
"The only explanation is that the higher-level creature has connected to too many sacrificers and must limit the number of spellcastings each sacrificer can perform. Otherwise, he will not be able to handle so many spellcasting requests."
"This should be the origin of the gods in the main plane today."
"These high-ranking beings in the astral realm must have reached some kind of agreement with each other, dividing themselves according to the effects of their spells and distinguishing their respective priesthoods."
"For example, the old man in the Harvest Temple mentioned the divine arts of the God of Harvest. He had spells from every school, but the effects were generally related to plant growth, such as promoting plant growth or summoning wind and rain."
"Natural magic should be the same, except that its scope isn't limited to plants. All magic spells, including those involving animals, as well as some elemental spells, should be included."
"My only question now is that astral beings should not have independent consciousness. They are just projections of wisdom and spirit, and cannot truly interfere with the real world."
"In the arcane arts of the high-level schools of incantation, there are many summoning spells related to astral creatures. When these spells are cast for the first time, it is often impossible to specify the recipient because there is complete disorder there."
"Why would a high-level astral being without any independent consciousness act as a god in the main plane? This is what I have never been able to understand."
I see.
Hearing this, Fang Yu had some guesses in his mind and couldn't help but look at Youzi with pity.
"Yuzu, do you think humans will voluntarily reincarnate as celestial beings?" Fang Yu was silent for a while and then asked.
"Impossible! Only consciousness can enter the Astral Realm. And with the exception of the Legendary Archmage, all other arcane mages will be quickly devoured and assimilated by the Astral Realm once their consciousness fully enters it."
"So even if you're a high-level wizard, it's only your consciousness that's projected into the astral plane, while your body and main consciousness remain in the main plane as an anchor point. Otherwise, you'll definitely die," Yuzu flatly denied.
"Even a legendary archmage whose life essence has been completely sublimated will lose his perception of the real world and become completely lost in the astral realm after completely integrating his consciousness into the astral realm. No one would do this!"
"What if someone uses the method of sacrificing spiritual power as an anchor?" Fang Yu said leisurely, "Just like the current main plane."
Yuzu was stunned for a moment. The bright white light was strong, but after a few seconds it turned into a deep dark blue.
"No, they won't. Why would they do that? It doesn't make sense! Even if they use spiritual sacrifice as an anchor, they won't be able to return to the main plane once they're reincarnated as astral creatures. It doesn't make any sense." A chill trembled in Yuzu's voice.
When Sekalis created this pomelo, the setting was quite human, even shivering was added.
"Then how do you explain that the divine arts these priests use are almost identical to magic spells?"
"You also said that they didn't master any spell models, but the divine spells they cast were arcane spells from 16,000 years ago. Isn't that too coincidental?"
In the pouring rain, the rows of brake lights in front of us flickered on and off, just like the grapefruits now.
"Don't be too sad, this is just a guess. What's more, maybe something really happened at that time that forced them to do this." Fang Yu comforted Youzi.
He does not have the values of an arcane mage like Yuzu, so naturally he will not feel the same sense of collapsed faith as Yuzu.
Instead, there is a sense of relief.
If this is the case, it means that those gods will never come back, so what is there to be afraid of?
Yuzu flicked weakly twice.
"Huh?" Fang Yu suddenly saw a woman standing on the roadside holding an umbrella a few dozen meters away, shivering with cold.
Fang Yu turned on the right turn signal to change lanes, stopped in front of the woman, turned on the hazard lights, and rolled down the window.
"I knew it was you from a distance. Didn't you get a ride? Come on up. It's raining so hard. I'll take you there."
