Chapter 729 The advantage of the human race
Rudra activated the tier 5 promotion test by entering a state of comprehension and cultivating continuously for 24 hours.The herb Rudra was cultivating near was a big reason why he could enter a state of comprehension this fast as usually it would take anywhere between 1-3 weeks for peak tier 4 individuals to enter the state.
However the real test started now.
Rudra was supposed to figure out the mysteries of 6 laws of nature. To get a perfect rating on the promotion test he needed to comprehend all 6 of the laws while to pass he needed to comprehend 3.
He was given an option by the system on which law he wanted to comrehend first and Rudra decided to go with the law of fire.
A series of image started to play out in his head as first he was shown flames of various colors such as a blue color flame , a golden flame , a orange flame, a blood red flame and a mult-colored flame.
Then he was shown as to how a flame grew from a small spark to a force that could destroy planets. The visual was very detailed and it gave Rudra goosebumps , it showed him that if wielded correctly, fire had the potential to wipe out entire planets.
Towards the end of the visual, Rudra felt his own body burning from an intense fire as he started to sweat profousely , he saw his own body being engulfed in a sea of flames as he felt drowning in a bottomless abyss of heat.
Just before his body was burnt to the core however he heard a faint rhyme ' To create one must destroy , for only through destruction can there be cleansing of evil'.
Rudra opened his eyes and saw that his body was sizzling with heat, the visuals that the system showed him at the moment were more than just visuals as he seemed to have actually been imbued by the law of fire when he was plunged into that abyss.
Rudra quickly tried to circulate the fire energy in his body as he tried to understand the true nature of the flames.
As a human he was taught about fire since childhood. Defined as the process of combustion he knew that after reaching a certain amount of heat some substances reacted with oxygen to combust into flames.
Depending on the nature of the element the color of the flame was decided such as a bright white flame for magnesium, red for strontium and so on.
As Rudra thought about the origin of the fire according to the knowledge he had he felt that the fire energy he was blasted with was quickly being dissolved in his body as he seemed to grow closer and closer to understanding the mysteries of the element.
Although humans were a primitive race compared to the wide universe, it had a distinct advantage compared to other races due to the absence of mana on the planet.
Humans had spent countless years trying to figure out mysteries of the universe and tabulated the knowledge year over year , generation over generation for all humans to study.
This was something that the other races did not do. Knowledge was a commodity in the universe and it was reserved to individual families and Never shared as a greater good.
The fundamental understanding that the humans hence had , about atoms and particles and the chemistry of elements was something that the other races did not have.
Rudra was blessed to be a part of the generation that had completed the normal earthly schooling, as even max only studied till class 10 before dropping out of school and enrolling into the elites academy.
The generation after Max was never going to learn the same education that the predecessors had gone through as the world was going to value mana and combat training more to regular knowledge from now on.
This left the earth with only one prime generation that truly grasped the knowledge of the education system established after hundereds of years of mankind's research.
However understanding the nature of flames was not enough as Rudra had to also understand the benefits of the flame.
The flame purified everything by obliterating it. The ash after a forest fire was rich in nutrients and enriched the soil for the future generation to grow , the fire that burnt the dead bodies was useful in preventing diseases and decay.
Fire was the universes cleanser and it did not discriminate between good or evil. The fire at its core was just and fair and Rudra accepted the fire as a part of his being.
Rudra absorbed all the knowledge that he could from the video clip shown as he drew a lot of inferences from his existing pool of knowledge. Although it was incomplete , although it was broken , Rudra understood one of the most core concepts of the fire element which allowed him to pass the test.
Rudra understood that basically fire was not a state of combustion but the vibration in each and every atom in every single molecule.
Without the vibration everything would be frozen solid in the universe and it was fire that spread the warmth in this long and cold universe.
When Rudra finally stumbled upon this truth he heard the system notification
comprehended 51% of the fire element , This element has been understood fairly by the player.
Current progress 1/6 elements.
He had successfully cleared round 1!
However although Rudra tried to understand more and more of the fire element he could never get past the 53% mark.
Fire was one of the elements he understood the best , which showed his limitation in this test. It seemed as if the coming laws were not going to be as easy as he anticipated them to be.
