In the past few weeks, Eve has shown him many rare ancient pieces of knowledge, each time leaving him in awe.
"According to ancient texts, magic power is actually the projection of higher-dimensional energy in our dimension."
Eve explained softly:
"Just like sunlight producing a rainbow when it passes through a prism, high-dimensional energy breaks down into various forms of energy we can perceive and use when it penetrates our dimensional barrier."
Ron nodded thoughtfully:
"This also explains why the manifestations of power systems in different worlds vary, yet share a certain commonality."
"Exactly." Eve’s eyes shone with excitement:
"Grandfather... I mean, Professor Yutel, once told me he encountered dozens of different power systems during his planar travels.
Some rely on divine faith, some on natural elements, and some even guide energy through mathematical formulas.
But regardless of the differences in form, at their core, they all guide and shape the same high-dimensional energy."
She paused, took a sip of tea, and continued:
"This is also why the ’Abyss’ is so special.
It is not merely a geographical location but a dimension weak point, a fissure allowing those high-dimensional energies to directly seep into our world."
Ron felt a tremor of thought.
This explanation could account for many phenomena, especially the unreasonable abilities of abyssal creatures, much more than those textbook theories.
"Then what is the ’Blessing’?" he asked curiously:
"What relationship does it have with this high-dimensional energy?"
Eve smiled slightly, showing a teacher’s appreciation for a good student:
"You’ve touched on the core. The ’Blessing’ is actually a special high-dimensional feedback.
When knowledge and insight are shared among different life forms, it produces a wave.
This wave can penetrate dimensional barriers, inviting echoes from higher dimensions."
Her voice became even softer:
"And Primordial Wizards are special.
It is because they establish a direct connection with the source upon ascension, bypassing many of the restrictions and filters of traditional cultivation.
This is also why the ’Blessing’ of Primordial Wizards is purer and stronger."
Ron was suddenly enlightened, if ’Demon Devouring’ is essentially because Eve’s inner energy is too active to circulate normally.
Then the pure ’Blessing’ energy could indeed serve to reconcile it.
"It sounds like these explanations are much more reasonable than conventional theories."
He commented: "But why is this knowledge so little-known? In the Black Mist School, I have never heard of such explanations."
Eve’s expression became complex:
"Because this knowledge falls into the ’dangerous’ category.
Understanding the nature of magic power implies a potential for more fundamental manipulation and use.
Throughout history, there are countless wizards who have fallen or lost themselves in pursuit of such knowledge."
Her voice carried a hint of warning:
"Grandfather Yutel said those wizards who overdo high-dimensional energy research.
Ultimately either get eroded by the Abyss or transform into a form similar to an abyssal existence, becoming what we call ’Apostles’."
Ron felt a chill in his heart, recalling the fragment of an Apostle’s limb he saw at the Abyssal Observation Station.
The primitive energy fluctuations and those constantly writhing tendrils and eyeballs indeed possessed a quality beyond conventional life forms.
As night fell, after a day of knowledge exchange, he bid farewell to Eve and returned to his residence.
Walking under the radiant lights of the Crystal Tower, he felt his thoughts more active than ever.
The ancient knowledge acquired from Eve was colliding with his experience and theories in his mind, sparking new ideas.
Especially the theories regarding the nature of magic power provided a whole new perspective for his "Melting Furnace Concept."
......
Meanwhile, deep within the distant Otherworld, a thrilling campaign was unfolding.
Cassandra Saint Manzhi, the contemporary Tower Master of the Crystal Tower, and one of the strongest wizards currently on the Ring Abyss Continent Group, was at this moment suspended above a massive planet.
She shares extremely similar physical traits with her daughter Eve.
Similarly deep black hair like the night sky and captivating amethyst eyes.
But unlike her daughter’s youthful innocence, every inch of Cassandra’s form exudes maturity and grace.
Like a ripe peach, her figure’s curves are perfectly and breathlessly clad in a form-fitting deep purple long robe, revealing alluring contours at just the right angles.
However, those amethyst eyes emitted a bone-chilling coldness, making it hard for others to stare directly, let alone conjure any profane thoughts.
"Once these are cleared, I can go back and see little Eve."
Cassandra said softly, her voice turning velvety when mentioning her only daughter.
With her movement, the air began to warp, and an overwhelming oppressive aura spread from her body’s center.
Cassandra’s human form gradually dissolved, replaced by an ever-expanding radiant energy body.
This was a complex structure formed by countless tiny energy particles.
Every particle flashed with different frequencies of light, together forming a dizzying multidimensional tableau.
This is the "Void Effigy," a form of existence only Great Wizards can exhibit.
It transcends the corporeal energy structure and is also the pathway to higher levels of existence.
