The Floating City was crashing …
This meant that there was not much time left for the invaders to plunder resources and treasures.
Therefore, the battle above the Floating City was getting more and more intense!
In the inner ring of the Floating City, in an Arcana Academy seven kilometers west of the Arcana Palace, a unique lecture was still going on.
It was still the same Hall of Knowledge, and it was still the same two familiar figures.
Lucia was sitting in the first row of the spacious Hall of Knowledge, listening carefully to Mr. Brown's lecture.
Today, Mr. Brown was talking about the origin of life, which also included some of his own views and insights …
The vast Hall of Knowledge was empty, except for Lucia and him. His gentle voice echoed in the hall, and even the earth-shattering roar of the elements outside could not cover it.
"The origin of life has different theoretical views in different planes …"
"In the planes ruled by the gods, their unified explanation is that life is created by the gods! All the things in the world, all the creatures in the planes are created by the great gods with their bodies or blood combined with some plane matter … "
"Although these fakes have used this set of theories to deceive many ignorant believers, it is difficult for their theories to be self-justifying. At least they can't explain where the gods come from … "
Speaking of this, Mr. Brown could not help but laugh.
Through the translucent crystal wall behind him, he could vaguely see an Arcana Tower in the distant sky being knocked down by the enemy, falling on the surface of the Floating City and causing an earth-shattering explosion.
The shockwave quickly spread to the Arcana Academy, causing a large number of buildings to continue to shake and shake. Even the Hall of Knowledge that the two of them were in began to shake slightly, and from the exquisite arched dome of the sky, countless ashes and broken pieces of porcelain fell.
But the two in the hall did not care at all, and were still seriously talking and listening …
"… Most of the creatures in the planes live in ignorance for their whole lives, and they do not even realize that they are in a sealed space protected by the boundary membrane of the plane. Only those awakened high-level consciousness will realize this problem and try to find the answer … "
"And their answer lies in the void of the plane …"
"The plane is not real, the void is not empty …"
"Every plane of existence is pieced together from all sorts of strange substances that were swept in from the void. Originally, they were all cold substances without any intelligence or consciousness. There were no animals or plants in them. However, after the Planar Membrane fused, it completely enveloped the entire world, isolating it from the powerful and terrifying Void Storm outside. Then, in less than a hundred years, strange life seeds will be born from nothing in the boundary membrane … "
Speaking of this, Brown couldn't help but look up at the starry sky. His voice was filled with awe and longing for the strange universe.
"The Empire has been investigating the life forms of the planes for thousands of years. During this period of time, the Grand Arcanists with the power to destroy the heavens and the earth even personally created a primordial plane, and then spent hundreds of years overseeing the process of life in the plane growing from nothing … "
"Then where did the first life form born in this plane come from?" Lucia couldn't help but widen her eyes. She licked her lips and asked eagerly.
"Beyond the realm, the endless void …" Brown couldn't help but sigh.
"Outside the plane, the endless void?" Lucia couldn't help but repeat.
"Yes, just like you, the Grand Arcanists also felt that it was inconceivable! The first source of life in the plane actually came from outside the plane … "Brown sighed for a moment, then returned to normal." After the Grand Arcanists reached this conclusion, they conducted all sorts of investigations and found that the majority of the creatures in the plane of existence were actually as high as 87% similar. Although some of the creatures in different planes and different environments have undergone some changes in body shape and bones, when it comes to the root, they still originate from the same source of life … "
Outside the Hall of Knowledge, loud rumbling sounds came unceasingly. A continuous stretch of heavenly fire fell from the sky, melting a large part of the Arcane Academy's building into a baked cake.
The whole world began to silently burn.
And at the end of the line of sight, an indomitable flame giant was roaring angrily. Every move it made sprinkled a steady stream of flames, as if it was fighting a powerful enemy.
The arcane barrier on the surface of the hall had not yet dissipated, and it was barely able to block the rapidly rising terrifying air waves from the outside world.
However, the arcane glyphs etched on the thick stone pillars around the hall had already been slightly damaged due to the previous shock. Some strange flames penetrated the gap in the arcane barrier, and the temperature inside the hall began to rise slowly.
The surrounding buildings had collapsed and melted one after another, and because of the existence of Arcanist Brown, the arcane barrier in the Hall of Knowledge was still operating with difficulty. But looking at the harsh and terrible environment around, it wouldn't be able to hold on for too long.
"Since the Grand Arcanists have already detected the source of life and the plane of existence, didn't they trace the real source of life?" Lucia asked eagerly with a red face.
"The cruelty and fierceness of the void of the plane can't be imagined by those who haven't experienced it. It's in order to explore the mystery of the depths of the sea of stars and explore the origin of life in the plane of existence that the Grand Arcanists built the powerful Half Plane Fortress. Following a certain fixed track, they conquered one plane of existence after another … "
"Before the Empire faced this crisis, the Arcane Kingdom had found and conquered a total of 2,317 planes, and turned them into our secondary planes or resource planes …"
"Some of the Grand Arcanists still believe that if we can leave our footprints in all the plane worlds and radiate the power of the Arcane Kingdom to every corner of the multiverse, then any secret will no longer be a secret in our eyes. The whole multiverse will be like the Arcane Garden behind our house, we can take whatever we want … "
"This … Teacher, isn't this thinking deviating from our starting point? If we go on like this, what's the difference between us and those creatures of disaster? "Lucia's face showed a look of pain and struggle, and she couldn't help but shake her head in distress.
"Little Lucia, do you think all people are like you, always maintaining that original idea? Decrypting the source of the plane, exploring the truth of the universe! Such an idea, everyone of us can do it at the beginning. But when our power is getting stronger and stronger, and the knowledge we gather is getting larger and larger, we can destroy a plane and a world by raising our hands and feet. At that time, can we still calm down and continue to pursue our truth? "Brown sighed leisurely.
"After countless arcanists, countless years of exploration and speculation, the upper echelons of the Arcane Kingdom firmly believe that the multiverse we live in may not be the only one, let alone the whole. There may be a similar living space outside the multiverse, and in order to maintain the activity and flow of internal life, there is also a strange exchange of matter and life between different multiverses … "
"There is exchange between multiverses, and within the multiverse, there is also a hidden and inevitable exchange of matter and life between planes …"
When Lucia heard that, she couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise, and couldn't help but murmur, "If … if this exchange really exists, then who is the first driving force? Is it … is it true that there is a supreme life in the multiverse that explores and controls everything in the multiverse? "
"Little Lucia, you should already know that when the creatures in every plane world multiply and grow, they will give birth to a hazy and instinctive plane consciousness. This plane consciousness will control the laws of the plane, and let the entire plane world operate according to a certain law or instinct … "
"So does our Morian Plane also have a plane consciousness?" Lucia opened her eyes curiously.
"Of course. You, me, and any life and any tiny bit of matter in the Morian Plane are part of the great plane consciousness. If you have a chance to advance to a Level 1 arcanist, at the moment of advancement, you can briefly touch the great plane consciousness … "Brown looked at the clever and studious apprentice in front of him dotingly.
Although the two of them didn't have a teacher-disciple relationship, at this moment, deep in his heart, he had already regarded her as his own disciple, teaching and inheriting.
Lucia frowned and thought hard.
She really couldn't imagine what such a huge plane world would be like once it gave birth to a plane consciousness. Would it also have feelings of joy, anger, sorrow, or pain like human beings or ordinary creatures? Then how would it control the creatures of the plane?
Outside the hall, the rumbling of the elements became louder.
The battle of the flame giants in the distance seemed to be getting closer and closer to the Hall of Knowledge. The outer walls of the hall had been baked red by the terrifying high temperature, and the towering dome began to soften, with crimson molten lava flowing down drop by drop.
Arcanist Brown waved his hand, and a tall arcane puppet standing at the side walked over, using its huge body and wide arms to block the falling ceiling for them.
The temperature in the hall became even more unbearable!
At this moment, the floating city had fallen nearly half its height, and the entire foundation of the city had tilted 45 degrees. Most of the ground had begun to burn and collapse.
Looking out from the crystal walls around the Hall of Knowledge, the entire horizon was slanted.
There were flames everywhere outside, and battles were everywhere. It was like the end of the world.
