Chapter 1291 Paradise Lost and Analysis Cannon
——Hassan’s death was just a prelude.
It is not a key to open a secret treasure, but a flag raised by a climber who challenges the mountain halfway.
Hassan's soul was sent to the dream world, marking the completion of Geometry's spell.
He completely transformed into a giant crystal cannon composed of 63,000 fragments of truth.
And as the light overflowed from the muzzle, four brilliant magic circles of different colors condensed in front of it one after another.
The red of fire, the blue of water, the green of wind, the yellow of earth.
Every time the beam of light reached a magic circle, it began to slowly rotate from a standstill, like turning a heavy millstone, and the rainbow light stream gradually began to immerse the red magic circle, like molten gold flowing into the grooves of a mold.
"——The sun is the father, the moon is the mother, conceived by the wind, nurtured by the earth."
The Geometry Celestial Being whispers simultaneously with four voices: an old man, a child, a man, and a woman, accompanied by a mechanically synthesized sound as the fifth voice.
This is a secret message from the "Hinabi Tantra", the most basic concept of classical alchemy.
And this... is the ancient alchemical system left by the former Huantiansi and perfected by Hermes.
——There is no doubt that the predecessor of this world was an extremely brilliant magical civilization.
This can be seen from the fact that the Winged Ones immediately built the Tower of Babel shortly after the Sinthorn was unsealed... Taiyi's earliest creations, before they established a country and were still in a tribal state, already possessed almost omnipotent mysterious magic.
This must be the ancient knowledge they "unpacked" from the Sinthorn.
Modern elemental magic, in terms of both scalability and possibilities, is far inferior to ancient rune magic. In this sense, "technology relies on archaeology" is no joke in this world.
And the elves' destruction of the ancient weapons based on rune technology may not be just because of their "peace-loving" nature.
So, with rune magic having almost reached omnipotence...
——Why did the earliest alchemy come into being?
Gold refining? Immortality?
This kind of thing can be easily accomplished using rune spells that can create something out of nothing and make your wishes come true.
Control the truth of the world and manipulate everything with supreme authority - not to mention the changes in matter, even the creation of souls and the resurrection of the dead can be achieved.
So... if the goal that alchemy strives to achieve with all its might is just a joke that rune magic can easily achieve.
Why does this ability continue to this day?
How could it become the most iconic skill of Taoism?
The answer is self-evident.
The path of wisdom and the path of balance are similar yet different.
Practitioners of the wisdom path seek truth for its own sake. They do not seek to leave a legacy or teach others; the search for truth itself is the meaning of life.
However, if we overemphasize the practicality of knowledge, we will embark on a balanced path of pursuing knowledge and science, analyzing everything to dispel mystique.
These seem to be two completely different groups of people.
But if you say...
——Do they actually have the same purpose?
Extraordinary people on the path of wisdom will spend their entire lives pursuing the truth by any means necessary, and will sacrifice all other common sense, morality, and pleasure for this purpose... This is exactly the path of Geometry Tiansi.
After pursuing the truth, they do not pursue inheritance and teaching, and it does not matter even if the truth rots in their stomachs... This is the achievement that Wei Zhe and Odin have achieved.
Manipulating the four elements of the material world, creating a new creation technique beyond the "rune technology" of alchemy, and promoting the scientific spirit of exploration, induction and doubt, these are the changes that the former reincarnation celestial officials brought to the world.
And the Sand Clock has always been doing the work of opening up the heavens and sealing off the mysteries, burying ancient technologies in forbidden ruins, and encouraging pioneers to invent new practical technologies.
It seems like completely different paths, completely opposite ideals...
But in fact, what they want to do is the same thing.
——That is to free this world from the shackles of rune technology inherited from previous generations.
It's just that based on the "specialties" of the Taoist practitioners, the two pillar gods and the heavenly officials classify them into different talents and put them into different positions!
And now——
As the four magic arrays were energized and activated, they began to spin at high speed.
The special power of Geometry Heavenly Master, which shattered all surrounding matter and mana into black cracks and powder, began to spread crazily around.
Hui Tiansi's domain shattered instantly, exploding like an egg hit by a hammer.
This caused the boiling colorful magic power to gush out of the gray hole directly and instantly appeared in the material world.
Although they had been hidden in the Gray Cave by Gray Tiansi before, the tide and tentacles of the Abyss had completely submerged the place.
It was only because they escaped in time that they were not hit on the spot.
When they emerged from the gray hole and fell into the depths of the ocean current, they were not crushed by the water pressure and tentacles.
All the surrounding matter and magic power were decomposed and swallowed up.
The sea was constantly being drained and the tentacles were crumbling and shattering.
The emerging black cracks were evidence that even the light had been swallowed up.
"This is……"
Aiwass in Yuan Tiansi's body suddenly became alert.
He recognized the power.
Although the magic circle is completely different, the number of runes on it is far less than the original one...
But there is no doubt.
——This is “Paradise Lost”.
The supreme spell of the Tower of Babel gathers the essence of ancient rune spells and is the "last ancient spell" invented after all other Tower of Babel spells!
Theoretically, this spell has long been lost.
This was because this spell was a supreme art that only the Winged King was qualified to learn and wield. After all, once "Paradise Lost" was successfully activated, all other spells would be rendered ineffective. If used near the Tower of Babel, even its numerous runes, barriers, and devices would be destroyed.
This spell could negate all spells, and it could defeat all mages. Naturally, it couldn't possibly be possessed by any other mage... and before Lucifer ascended, he had no way of knowing that his ascension was doomed to fail.
Therefore, from the moment the Fallen Angels were born, it meant the loss of "Paradise Lost".
However, Geometry Tiansi actually relied on the knowledge pieced together by the mages and reproduced this ultimate spell after thousands of years of long analysis by the wise men!
It integrates 666 classic spell configurations, enabling it to disintegrate all derivative spells based on these 666 basic spell configurations and automatically absorb their mana to replenish itself.
This is the "first half" of the spell.
It's like the starter of a chain reaction.
Although there were some fundamental differences—for example, Aiwass knew that the true Paradise Lost was composed of a triple magic circle. It symbolized the trinity of ring, taboo, and reincarnation, and from this paradox, the power of "infinity" in the true sense was derived.
Through the principle of taboo, sacrifice the "present" to obtain the future; through the principle of reincarnation, turn the power of the future into the past, and then through the principle of ring, bring the power of the past to the present.
This is a true chain reaction and nested chain.
Because of this, Paradise Lost was able to match the Fallen Angels' Paradise Lost despite consuming and drawing far less mana than the Fallen Angels. Furthermore, even gods wouldn't dare take this chance—because its essence was "infinite."
It's just like the question someone asked Aleister: Which is bigger, infinity or infinity plus one?
Without adding the six elemental wings as special variables, the answer is obviously "the same size".
The power of Aiwass and the Fallen Angels is completely different, but the Lost Paradise they derived is completely equal, which can be proved by this point.
Because this spell is actually the ultimate spell created by Lucifer through his research on "snakes".
It can be said that when Lucifer created this spell, he had actually already vaguely sensed some of the essence of the snake.
However, the Geometry Celestial Master lacked this part of the rotation cycle, so He chose the "transmutation of the four elements," which was also the power of the Ring Celestial Master, to complete it.
Compared to the infinity and multiplication emphasized by "Paradise Lost," the "Analysis Cannon" tends to analyze and digest the matter composed of the four elements into mana. Despite the lack of light and darkness, its power remains undiminished—the speed at which surrounding mana is absorbed is even more than ten times that of Paradise Lost! Even matter begins to collapse and disintegrate...
That is the mysterious art of exchanging mass for energy—
This is probably the reason why in another future, Huan Tiansi specifically took away Jihe Tiansi's power.
Because from the perspective of mysticism, Geometry Tiansi has now become the "tail of a snake" in a sense!
