So-called magic was the law of magic. It was a mage's pursuit of elemental knowledge and mysteries. It was a scholar's summary and application of the world's rules. Humans and elves.
So-called magic was only the instincts of magical creatures. It was their natural talent to control their instincts and satisfy their needs. Do you really need a method to breathe? Magical creatures.
So-called magic was a plaything for mortals. It was a degraded version of how mortals imitated the actions of the Primordial Gods, Titan, and Ancient Dragons. The truly powerful commanded the elements, not used them. As long as you gave orders and requests, the elements would satisfy your needs. You didn't need to study the playthings of mortals. You only needed to strengthen yourself. — Titan Wood
These three seemingly contradictory sayings were actually all correct.
Individuals had different views, but it was actually only because of their different positions.
Mortals with the lowest elemental affinity were the weakest species in all aspects. Among them, there were an extremely small number of "geniuses" who were able to come into contact with elements that the naked eye couldn't perceive. Only then were they able to become mages who were favored by the heavens.
Comparatively speaking, they were the ones with the least talent. They could only summarize their experiences and patterns bit by bit. However, as time passed and generations of accumulation accumulated, their elemental powers could no longer be described as individuals. Their elemental powers were a system, a society, a civilization.
So-called power level and level were the degree of a person's growth and evolution. Actually, it was also a person's position in a civilization.
It was precisely because civilizations and societies needed to differentiate strength and value that there was a simple and easy to understand evaluation system, which was why there was such a ladder for advancement in this generation.
Actually, there was no fundamental difference between the powerful individuals of the past and the powerful individuals of the present. It was just that the evaluation system had changed.
In modern times, even ordinary people who didn't have the ability to sense the elements were able to use simple magic with the help of various magical devices. Mortals without natural talent had the deepest understanding of the basics, and they were also the ones who walked the furthest.
As for magical beasts, demons, and demi-humans who were born with the ability to control the elements … It had to be said that the heavens had given them a lot, and taken away a lot as well.
They were neither too high nor too low. However, in the era before mortals rose to prominence, they were able to instinctively use some simple magic. A single magical beast was a natural disaster.
Compared to mortals, their overly powerful bodies and talents meant that they didn't have to huddle together like mortals. In the end, they formed teams, societies, races, and civilizations.
Perhaps some people had some misunderstandings about these magical beasts and demi-humans. Not all magical creatures had beast-level intelligence. Most of the high-threat creatures in the Aishi Continent had high intelligence. It was just that they had lived for hundreds of years and still lived for hundreds of years. In the end, they didn't form a language or writing system and left behind their own things.
Times had changed. Wild beasts had become ornamental objects in zoos. The Aishi's magical beasts and the Demi-Humans, who didn't have an independent culture, also received similar treatment.
The high-threat species were either extinct or locked in cages. The Demi-Humans were swallowed into human society. Now, there were probably only a few human descendants with special abilities left.
Their greatest use was probably in the field of magical bionics. They provided many researchers with inspiration and theories, which allowed them to imitate many special magical devices and magical theories, contributing to the entire magical civilization.
As for the third party … they had also become extinct in the Aishi Continent.
This wasn't the result of competition for survival. It was just that there were far too few of them to begin with. The original Gods had different levels of power. Basically, there were no survivors after countless Holy Wars or internal wars. The Titan had always been in seclusion. He only appeared for a short period of time several hundred years ago before disappearing. No one knew where the Immemorial Dragons were sleeping.
They … the ancients' method of using the elements was definitely different from the modern magical civilization.
After all, the modern magical civilization originated from the human countries. The human countries' magic originated from the elves. The elves' magic originated from the Gold Elves, and the Gold Elves were only one of the ancients.
This wasn't to say that the origin was always the best. Times would always change. Only those that were most suitable for oneself would be the best. This was just a simple description. It was just like the branches of the same tree. Now that both branches had reached a certain level, rather than doing something as foolish as trying to figure out which path was better, it would be better to compare the individual's strength.
The Titan and the Gold Elves were both ancients. Their method of using the elements was completely different.
"Why do we need to understand the elements? It's supposed to be the elements that cooperate with us. All we need to do is make ourselves stronger … "
Rorschach had heard Titan talk about growth and paths many times before. However, words were limited. They could only describe the reality that already existed. As for things that could only be understood, they could only be described as indescribable.
But when the statues of the four Titan Kings displayed the four paths of the Titan Kings, Rorschach finally truly understood.
"I thought that I understood, but it seems that I really didn't …"
When Titan talked about making himself stronger, he actually wasn't referring to the concept of reality. Instead, he was referring to expanding his concept of "existence" so that he would have more power and authority in the world's natural laws. In that case, all he had to do was give the order, and the elements would automatically form into his shape.
Did it sound complicated? Actually, Rorschach's natural talent ability was exactly such a thing.
Just because I think he's real, he's definitely real? Forcefully giving someone a definition of reality and then distorting reality … No, more accurately speaking, he should be using his own reality to replace reality.
This was doubtlessly the same as using his authority to arbitrarily ban someone's account. Only he could say it, so it was naturally the only official answer.
The Titan Kings were such unreasonable existences.
They combined their own concepts with their physical bodies. They themselves were a part of the natural laws and the world. Their will was the world's will. How could the elements not follow their orders? The elements were also a part of the world.
And in front of Roxia, the path that the four Titan Lords had opened up was right in front of him. What Wood meant was that he wanted Roxia to learn from them, find his own path, and find his own concept and truth.
Learn from them and open up a new path? Rorschach thought about it. That was basically impossible.
It wasn't that the Titan Kings opened up four paths. Instead, these four paths that corresponded to the four elements were originally born with the birth of the Titan Kings … These were the four management rights. If you didn't follow them, you wouldn't be able to open up your own path.
Rorschach extended his spirit over. The paths of the four Titan Kings were already in front of him. Then, his expression became rather subtle.
"I don't have a choice at all …"
The paths of the Sky Ruler and the Fire Queen didn't react to him at all. It was obvious that he couldn't take them. They were probably incompatible with his own hardware and software.
As for the other two paths, they reacted. They were similar but subtly different. Rorschach really didn't know how to choose.
As the Lord of the Sea, his own physical body was the ocean. The Sea of Life nurtured countless lives. Every life was also a part of the ocean. Both sides coexisted and depended on each other.
This was a path that turned one's physical body into a world and then gave birth to countless lives. To put it in a more mystical way, it was a life of ten thousand, and ten thousand would return to one.
As for the Lord of the Earth, he turned himself into the earth that bore everything. He grazed the forest, nurtured life, and sowed life in the mountains and wastelands. However, he wouldn't interfere with them. Every new life and new community was a unique individual.
Life depended on the earth. However, as long as they grew to a certain extent, they could still fly into the sky without the earth. The earth, on the other hand, didn't depend on life … He only hoped that the life wouldn't give him any trouble. He didn't want them to bring him along or blast him away for no reason.
As expected of the path of the Titan Kings. No matter which path it was, it was abnormally high and mighty. Moreover, it was abnormally compatible with the identity of the Titan Creators.
Obviously, no matter which path it was, it was impossible to reach the end and had endless potential.
Titan also told him that more than ninety percent of the Titan Kings walked the path of fire and the sky. The path of the sea and the earth involved the Creator's authority and talent. There weren't many Titan Kings who could walk the path.
From a certain perspective, this was also the reason why Wood and the others valued Rorschach so much. They had long seen this possibility!
However, Rorschach still didn't know how to choose.
Should he walk the path of the sea? In the end, it was still the strength of an individual that met his requirements. However, he was still only a human. Did he have the ability to split into thousands? The weakness of his physical body and the huge gap between him and the real Titan Kings was probably very difficult to make up for with hard work.
After all, there was a legend that Titan Kings' physical bodies turned into mountains and their eyes turned into stars … Rorschach had confirmed that this wasn't just a legend. Even Wood and the others could do it.
The software might be able to keep up, but the hardware was too inferior. This path was obviously not easy to walk.
"The other path sounds good, but … the Gray-Silver Elders."
Rorschach sighed. He was full of helplessness.
The one who had walked the furthest on this path was the Gray-Silver Elders, who were also his confirmed enemies.
Nobody could be sure if there was a problem with his own thinking, or if there was a problem with this path itself.
Moreover, if he really walked this path, would he be restrained or even controlled by it? Rorschach felt that this was completely possible.
However, in the end, he made up his mind. After all, he didn't have a choice from the beginning.
