"This explains why there is a rules backlash."
Gould stroked his large beard, a look of sudden realization in his eyes:
"The power of the Power Card essentially forces a rewrite of the laws of reality, but this rewrite is unstable. When the target cannot fully bear this change, it triggers a backlash at the level of the laws."
Although Selena’s expression was still full of discontent towards Cassandra, her professional instinct as a treatment expert led her back into professional analysis:
"The duration of rules backlash is usually proportional to the intensity of the originating cause, and the influence of the Power Card theoretically could last for decades or even longer."
She looked towards Eve, a hopeful light rekindling in her eyes:
"But it’s not completely incurable, the key lies in finding an equal or higher level of rules power to counteract it."
Lance’s projection slowly nodded, a thoughtful expression on his gentle face:
"According to what Great Wizard Uther told us before, using Favor of a higher level of power should be sufficient to impact this backlash."
Uther walked to the center of the room, a silver phantom beginning to emit a stronger brilliance:
"In the oldest records, the Favor rule was personally set by the ’Ancestor’—the first of the Four Cornerstones."
His voice became solemn and majestic, as if narrating some sacred doctrine:
"When the Ancestor created the order of civilization, multiple balance mechanisms were set up. Favor is the most important among them, meant to ensure that sentient beings can support each other on the pursuit of knowledge."
"In comparison, the Otherworld Treasure Box, though powerful, is merely a relic left by the previous King of Eras."
Gould added, with deep reverence in his tone:
"In terms of authority level, the foundational rules set by the Ancestor are indeed higher than the fragments of power left by the previous generation."
This explanation caused a subtle change in the atmosphere of the room.
The Eye of Observation’s monocular turned to Ron, a scrutinizing glimmer in its golden pupil:
"But the problem is whether the Favor intensity of the Primordial Wizard is enough to counteract the residual effects of the Golden Power Card."
"That’s why we need to choose the critical moment of Ron’s Moon Level breakthrough for treatment."
Uther’s gaze also focused on Ron:
"The Favor feedback generated by the Moon Level breakthrough is far greater than routine teaching exchanges, and moreover..."
He paused for a moment, as if organizing his words:
"Ron’s Favor may be purer than that of other Primordial Wizards, and this quality might play a critical role."
Hearing this, a hopeful fire rekindled in Eve’s eyes.
She tightly held Ron’s hand, her voice trembling:
"Master... is it really possible to heal?"
"It is possible, and the possibility is quite high."
Uther gave an affirmative reply:
"But the process will be arduous, the Favor feedback generated by the Moon Level breakthrough is extremely strong, and you need to endure an equivalent of a terrifying energy impact, but your current physical strength..."
"That’s why we need to choose the critical moment of Ron’s Moon Level breakthrough for treatment."
Alexander’s projection began to emit a soft glow:
"The three of us can join forces to construct a Life Energy enhancement shield for Eve, ensuring she can withstand this level of treatment."
Lance also nodded in agreement:
"Temporary enhancement of Life Energy is one of my specialties, combined with Selena’s adaptive adjustments, we should be able to minimize the risks."
Selena walked over to Eve, gently stroking her hair:
"Don’t be afraid, child. Although the process will be somewhat painful, it’s the pain of healing, not the prior kind of despairing torment."
Cassandra listened quietly from the side, her heart a mix of emotions.
Uther finally looked at Ron:
"Based on my estimation, with your current accumulation, the success rate of the breakthrough should be above eighty percent."
"Eighty percent..."
Ron carefully pondered this probability:
"Acceptable. So when do we start?"
"Now."
Uther’s answer took everyone by surprise:
"Eve’s condition cannot be delayed any longer, and the existence time of our projections is also limited."
He looked around the room:
"Is everyone ready? This will be an unprecedented attempt, if successful it’ll create a miracle in wizard history, if it fails..."
"If it fails, at least we tried."
Eve said firmly, her amethyst-like eyes showing no fear:
"Fourteen years of pain have prepared me to face any outcome."
She looked at Ron, her eyes full of trust and gratitude:
"Master, I believe in you. No matter the outcome, you’ve already given me the greatest hope in my life."
Ron smiled faintly, gently caressing the girl’s forehead:
"Close your eyes, Eve. When you open them again, everything will be different."
He walked to the center of the room: "I am ready."
With these words, the atmosphere of the entire Ritual Room began to change.
The light from the historical runes grew brighter, and the Magic Concentration in the air was rising sharply.
The three historical projections began setting up a Life Energy enhancement array around Eve.
Selena’s tendrils wove complex life patterns in the air like threads;
Lance clasped his hands, softly chanting ancient healing spells;
Alexander’s translucent body began to emit a gentle glow, injecting stable Life Energy into the surrounding environment;
Gould and the Eye of Observation were responsible for adjusting the Magic Power flow throughout the area, ensuring the treatment process would not be disturbed.
Uther stood at the edge of the array, his Void Power surging like a silver tide, perfectly blending with the power of several projections.
Though Cassandra’s heart was conflicted, she still released her Void Power, providing her daughter with extra protection.
All their powers converged to form an unprecedented healing matrix.
And at the center of this matrix, Ron slowly closed his eyes, his consciousness beginning to dive inward.
In the depths of his Spiritual Space, the Hermit Star and Scholar Star were already fully lit, radiating a stable glow.
While the third star—the Observer Star, remained half-bright and half-dark.
At this moment, with Ron’s will, this star began to emit an unprecedented light.
The Moon Level breakthrough began.
