Instead of answering, Laplace continued, "I've seen many scenes of plane fusion, and I've also traded some mirror memories related to plane fusion from Tooth Immortal's Ruins. Some of them are from the wizarding world."
Tooth Immortal's Ruins allowed people to trade mirror memories? Angor was a little surprised, but he didn't ask about it.
"I know wizards divide plane fusion into three stages," said Laplace.
"The third stage is called 'Time of Plunder'. Using the logic of 'big fish eating small fish', you're basically working with the big fish to clean up the small fish's pond. In the end, the small pond will become a vassal of the big pond.
"It sounds cruel, but the small fish's world will eventually become a vassal of the big fish's world.
"Therefore, when you go to clean up the small fish's pond, you rarely get rid of the source of the problem. After all, there's no point in merging a barren world with the wizarding world. "
Angor nodded. He had heard about this before.
There was a convention in the wizarding world when it came to plane fusion. You could loot resources, but you should try your best not to harm ordinary intelligent beings.
Even the Supreme Cult adhered to this rule.
These intelligent beings might be aliens at first, but when two worlds fused together, they would become part of the wizarding world. After several generations, their bodies would be completely marked by the wizarding world.
Naturally, the Supreme Cult wouldn't attack them if they weren't aliens.
Besides, killing ordinary intelligent beings wouldn't do them any good. Apart from wizards who did extreme research on human bodies, most people would let them go.
As for the powerful beings in the other world … the world's consciousness would eliminate them before the Time of Plunder. If wizards found any stragglers, they wouldn't hesitate to kill them.
Of course, they wouldn't specifically pick on them.
They might have treasures on them, but wizards didn't need them. During the Time of Plunder, they would go for resources that were more beneficial to them.
Generally speaking, a world that fused with the wizarding world would retain its general appearance.
Take the Tidal Realm for example. It was a world of elemental lifeforms. Even after merging with the World of Adepts, it still retained the appearance of elemental lifeforms. Of course, this was also thanks to Feng's help.
However, even if it was not the Tidal Realm, there were other subsidiary worlds in the Sorcerer World, such as the Fairy Tale World. On the surface, there were still the inheritances of intelligent life forms, and their civilizations had not been broken. On the inner layer, there were even powerful supernatural life forms that had luckily escaped during the fusion. Some of them were so powerful that even truth-finder Sorcerers did not dare to provoke them.
It was clear that the World of Adepts had done all they could for their subordinate worlds.
Laplace lowered his head and continued, "However, not all planar fusion is the way of the World of Adepts. There are also high-energy worlds with very radical standpoints. As the big fish of the big fish eating the small fish, they don't care about the little fish in a small pond, and even want to completely destroy the civilization of the other world, making it completely desolate … But with the protection of the World Will, even if the civilization is destroyed, there would still be a portion of the natives who would survive. "
"However, if it's not the logic of big fish eating small fish, but a collision between big fish, then the situation is completely different."
"That's what I saw in the Sea Eye's memories." Laplace continued, "In this case, the so-called third stage of the fusion, the Moment of Plunder, has already begun at the beginning of the fusion.
"The two sides were connected to each other from the very beginning, and they were fighting against each other. Not only the citizens, armies, kingdoms, and even entire civilizations of their respective worlds were fighting against each other.
"This will last for a very, very long time. From what I saw, the two worlds have been fighting against each other for more than a hundred years. This is different from other plane fusions.
"In the end, one side will be completely wiped out.
"The loser will be completely wiped out, from civilization to species. Nothing will be left, and the world will become a barren wasteland.
"And the language that Luigi used before was the language used by this species that had been completely wiped out."
Angor understood what was going on.
Even if Laplace learned a part of the usage of this language from the Sea of Mirrors, the source of the language was completely gone.
This was a completely extinct language, and also a completely useless language. This was why Laplace called it a "non-existent language".
No, wait. Maybe this non-existent language was still useful.
When Luigi used this language, he lamented to the universe, to prove to the gods that this language once existed.
It was also because of the uniqueness and non-existence of this language that when he spoke to the Heavenly God, it seemed so distant and … sorrowful.
"Is this really the only case of a plane fusion?" Angor waited until the black curtain was about to disappear before he asked again, "Is this really the only case?"
Laplace shook his head. "I don't know."
Angor muttered, "There must be a pattern, a standard, and a deeper logic behind a plane fusion. Since there's only one example, there might be more in places we can't see. "
Laplace said indifferently, "Perhaps, but that's not something you and I should be concerned about, because it's meaningless. Perhaps only the lives above miracles would pay attention to these things. "
Angor considered for a moment. "What about the winner? What do they gain by destroying the other side's world? "
Laplace asked, "The winner? Do you really think there's a winner in such a situation? The so-called winner has already used up all of his or her resources, and his or her world is also barren. In the end, if it can't fuse with another world, it will also be destroyed. I don't know which one it will be. "
"By the way, I don't know what the other world is called, but I know that the tallest tower in this world is called the Moon Chariot. It's the center of energy and survived until the end. If you were to embark on a journey through the void in the future and see a tower called the Moon Chariot in a distant world … or rather, the ruins of the tower, that would mean that the world was lucky enough to merge with the greater world and be saved. "
If he didn't encounter it … then he would treat it as if this world was annihilated just like the reflection space in the Mirror Domain.
"The Moon Chariot?" Angor whispered. I'll remember it. "
Angor paused for a moment. "Luigi's performance this time is very special. If I have the chance, I hope I can turn it into a DVD box."
"As you wish," Laplace said in a flat tone.
Laplace didn't care about the news since it had nothing to do with him anyway. Besides, Luigi was a bard who loved to perform. He would be happy if his performance could be seen by more people.
As their voices fell, the curtain of the glass scenery was pulled down.
Now that the third track was over, they would soon enter the fourth track — the Tamer Track.
He still had some questions, but the host had already begun to explain the general situation of the Tamer Track.
Perhaps it was because Luigi's performance in the third track was too outstanding, but when the host introduced the beast taming track, he was obviously more detailed than the other tracks. He even gave some of his own suggestions.
According to the host, the Tamer Track was a companion track.
A companion track meant that both the challenger and the tamed beast had to reach the finish line at the same time. The difference between the two tracks couldn't be more than two seconds.
The tamed beasts here were provided by Sunlight Circus. The host didn't say what kind of beast the challenger would be, but he did mention that it wasn't random.
The entire track consisted of five stages, namely the Stone Pillar in the Sea, the Fire Ring in the Swamp, the Gravity Space, the Aerial Cableway, and the Sky Swing. After these five stages, there was the Sprint Zone. The Sprint Zone was 500 meters long without any traps. It was meant for the final sprint.
After hearing the rules of the Tamer Track, everyone's expression turned gloomy.
Previously, they had to go through the tracks one by one. Now, the fourth track had to include all the previous tracks? And they had to travel with a beast?!
The increase in difficulty wasn't just a little bit!
Everyone looked at Gleipnir. They didn't know what the stages were like yet, but could Gleipnir really pass with his current condition?
The host suddenly spoke again, "I have a few suggestions for the next challenger. It's up to you whether you want to listen or not."
Everyone's ears perked up.
There was no doubt that they had to listen to the host's suggestions. After all, the host had basically confirmed that he was the dreamer of this special dream. If they didn't listen to the dreamer's suggestions, who else would they listen to?
"This track doesn't have a time limit, so there's no need to rush. The challenger can give the audience a visual feast like the previous red-tailed frog."
This suggestion went in one ear and out the other. Visual feast … Forget it. It was more important to pass.
"There are many stages this time. Every one of them looks difficult, but the most difficult one is the final Sprint Zone. Controlling the tamed beast and making it reach the finish line at the same time as you is the most difficult part. Remember, all the checkpoints in front are for the sake of the final thrust zone. "
Everyone didn't think of this at first, but they understood after hearing the host's explanation.
Why was it said that "all the stages in front are for the final Sprint Zone"? To put it bluntly, it meant that the first five stages were all "running-in".
Through various stages, the challenger and the beast would be running-in and develop a corresponding tacit understanding to achieve the goal of "taming".
And the final Sprint Zone was to check the first five stages to see if the challenger was successful in taming the beast. If one was really successful in taming the beast, then controlling the beast's speed and making it step on the track with you was actually not a problem.
This was also why the host said that everything in front was just fleeting clouds. The final Sprint Zone was the most important.
"One last suggestion. If you are successful in taming the beast, you don't have to pass some difficult stages by yourself."
Does this mean that the beasts can replace the challengers to pass some difficult levels?
But the premise was that one was successful in taming the beast.
After the host finished speaking, the dark curtain that shrouded the scenery was slowly lifted.
The fourth track finally appeared in front of everyone.
When they saw this track, everyone was a little surprised.
Because this track completely violated the common sense of physics.
The first stage was called "Stone Pillars in the Sea". The Caspian Sea was the forbidden silver sea. Instead of the dolphin, the silver sea was filled with stone pillars.
The stone pillars were scattered all over the sea. Looking from above, they looked like stars in the night sky.
The first stage was to step on the stone pillars and go to the other side of the sea.
Since the stone pillars were densely distributed, as long as one chose the right path, it would not be difficult.
Overall, this stage looked a little like the Plum Blossom Stakes Angor saw in the hologram tablet.
The second stage was to reach the other side of the sea and enter a dense swamp. This time, one did not need a skateboard because there were also stone pillars in the swamp. In other words, the challenger and his beast would still walk on the stone pillars, but instead of the silver sea, they would walk on the swamp.
However, there were floating fire rings above the swamp. Angor did not know why the fire rings would not explode here. However, floating fire rings were already against common sense, so it did not matter if they did not explode.
These fire rings were similar to the ones in the circus. They were all vertical. Some of them were single, while others were two or three overlapping. The longest one had five overlapping fire rings.
The fire rings were meant for beasts, but the challenger did not need to walk on them. This meant that this stage was not difficult as long as one could hold their ground.
The third stage was the Gravity Space. The track was placed on the wall in a spiral shape. By controlling one's center of gravity, one could run to the highest point in the spiral.
This stage was a bit difficult. One had to be fast at the beginning, and control one's body during the whole process.
After reaching the highest point, one had to cross a floating stone bridge to reach the fourth stage, which was the Sky Cableway. There was nothing special about this stage. It was similar to the rabbit girl's first track. However, there was no time limit, and there was no mountain of blades below.
After the cableway was the fifth stage. There were two swings hanging in the sky, the kind that was commonly seen in circus performances. One had to have a certain degree of control over one's body and achieve a relative balance. At first glance, it did not seem too difficult.
However, the visual difficulty of these five checkpoints wasn't very high. They were all controlled within a certain range.
He believed that if Gleipnir had enough time, he would be able to clear all five levels. Even the most difficult one, Gravity Space, could be cleared as long as Gleipnir made good use of his whip.
However, traveling with a beast was much more difficult.
More importantly, he had to pass the end together with the beast, which was even more difficult.
Angor considered. Maybe … he should just let Glepnir kill the beast and drag the corpse to the end?
