Although Mia really wanted to chat with Baiyi for a little longer, it was already time for class. She had no choice but to pick up her textbooks and notebook and bid farewell to Baiyi. With a good mood, she jogged out of the classroom. A pair of ponytails swayed along with her movements, like a nimble little bird, she gradually disappeared from Baiyi's sight.
After she left, Baiyi sat down at her small desk and continued to read the textbooks that Mia had left behind. At the same time, he continued to discuss with the other Voidwalkers about their future plans.
He was currently reading a history textbook called The Great Events of Isythre. It was about the history of the humans in Isythre. It was a compulsory course for the first year students in the Celestial Fortress Academy. The textbook was filled with the youthful and beautiful handwriting of a girl. It seemed like Mia was very serious even when she was attending this kind of course.
Baiyi flipped to the last page of the book. At the bottom of the last line, there was a note that Mia had added: The Year 1009 of the New Calendar, the wise and kind President Hewitt passed away … It's a pity that I wasn't able to enter the Celestial Fortress Academy at that time and didn't have the chance to meet this legendary president.
Hmm … There's no need to feel regret. At least he met you, Baiyi thought to himself. Then, he turned to the Voidwalkers and said, "I've asked Mia just now. It's the Year 1019 of the New Calendar and this President Hewitt is the Thirty-Third Walker, Sir Apprentice, right? The youngest one among us actually entered this place ten years ago? "
"It's already been ten years? Time really flies. Time has passed so quickly while I was talking to all the teachers, "the Apprentice replied humbly. The apprentice replied humbly, but from his tone, it wasn't hard to tell that he was quite fond of the life here.
I'm afraid you won't be able to stay as calm as you are now, right? Baiyi thought to himself. According to his memory, the First Walker had entered the Void in the 233rd year of the Old Calendar. Based on the principle of changing the calendar every 5000 years, the First Walker had already been imprisoned in this godforsaken place for more than 5000 years. Baiyi, who had met the Archmage a long time ago, had also stayed in this place for quite a long time.
After estimating how long he had been in the dungeon, Baiyi turned his attention back to his current body. He raised his right hand and channeled the energy in his body. A pulsating flame formed on the tip of his index finger. The flame danced from his index finger to his middle finger, where it turned into a rolling ball of water. Then, it moved to his ring finger, where it turned into a dazzling ball of light.
"It is indeed as everyone expected. This is an even more powerful force that can be converted at will." Baiyi said as he waved his hand casually, dispersing the green Nature Mana on his little finger. In just a few breaths, he had converted the energy in his body into four different types of mana. In the eyes of a normal person, this was already an amazing performance.
However, in the eyes of the Voidwalkers, it was a different matter. "But this is still too wasteful. The Void Energy should not be used so casually," the Archmage said.
The energy that the Voidwalkers used was not shallow energy like Mana or Chi Prowess. Instead, it was a high-level energy that they named as the Void Energy. The existence of the endless Void could be described as a dark and silent space, but at the same time, it was also a kind of force field that isolated everything. The Voidwalkers who were in the Void could use their powerful consciousness to assimilate the Void and convert it into their own energy.
Compared to Mana and Chi Prowess, the Void Energy was stronger and purer. It was closer to the essence of power. Therefore, it was not difficult to convert it into the more basic mana. Instead, it was a huge waste of energy.
"If it's such a useful thing, then why do the people in this world hate this power so much?" Baiyi could not help but ask. But in fact, he already knew the answer to that.
In fact, as early as a few thousand years ago, there were already people who tried to connect to the endless Void outside of reality in an attempt to harness this power. However, that kind of research was eventually classified as a taboo until it completely disappeared. Especially for the Church and other theological sects, they would even use violent means to suppress those who tried to touch the Void. It was obvious that they were very afraid of it.
Because of that, the Void had always been a mysterious concept in the minds of humans. Humans' attitude towards the Void was also different from the attitude of the devils and other evil beings. Humans' attitude towards the Void was more of a taboo and fear. Therefore, the Voidwalkers who came from the Void and controlled the Void were definitely not welcomed by the human race or even other intelligent beings.
"Sir Hope, you must be careful. Do not expose your power in front of absolute strength. Otherwise, you will attract the merciless wrath of the Church." The Paladin advised, "I've also participated in the purge of the Violators before. Those were some cruel and merciless operations. Those violators actually did not have the ability to control the Void Energy. They only had the intention to do some research but they were still mercilessly sent to the Inquisition and never came out again …"
"So, how afraid is your God of us?" Baiyi said with a hint of amusement in his voice. At the same time, he flipped a small black ball in his palm. That was the Void Energy that he released. He could only maintain this level of power so he quickly retracted it to avoid unnecessary trouble. Still, he was not convinced, "Everyone obviously has the same level of power. Why does God deserve to be revered and worshipped while we have to be the rats in the Black Dungeon?"
This topic had touched on the Paladin's unswerving faith so he chose to remain silent. It was another Voidwalker with the codename of the Charlatan who answered, "Some things are just so unfair. After all, we've lost in terms of appearance and temperament …"
I understand the logic, but can you not use such modern words to express it? Baiyi could not help but curse in his heart. At the same time, another question popped up in his mind. Did I cause some kind of bad influence to the strong people from the Otherworld?
Although exchanging memories was a good way to kill time, not every Voidwalker would exchange memories with each other. For example, the Voidwalkers who were born in the Righteous Faction would never exchange memories with a Lich and not everyone would be interested in the memory of a Barbarian.
However, Baiyi's memory was different. Almost every Voidwalker was very interested in his memory because he came from a brand new world that they had never come into contact with before. At the same time, it was a world that was much more civilized than them. The colorful culture on Earth had successfully attracted every Voidwalker.
Not to mention that Earth was already in an environment of information explosion because of the internet. Even if Baiyi was just an ordinary person, the things that he could come into contact with in the past 20 years was far more than those strong people who had lived for hundreds of years. After all, the environment that they were living in was like a drama that could be repeated for decades. How could such a culture be compared to the movies, TV shows, novels, animations and games on Earth? It was something that they could never imagine before. It was only natural that they would be fascinated by these new things.
Most of the Voidwalkers were the strongest people in their respective fields when they were alive. The fact that they were able to reach such a realm meant that they had a strong desire to learn and explore. Their acceptance of new things was also much higher than ordinary people. Not to mention that the things on Earth were very attractive to them. So it was normal for them to be obsessed with Earth's culture.
What about the memories of these strong people? It was not as exciting as described on the internet. For example, most of the Archmage's memories went like this:
Cultivation and research. Listening to the minister's report about a small town that had suffered a natural disaster and the people could only eat grass.
Cultivation and research. Receiving an audience with the envoy of the neighboring country. Receiving the gifts from the envoy and distributing the gifts to the disaster relief.
Cultivation and research. Listening to the minister's report about a concubine who was pregnant.
Cultivation and research. Suddenly remembering that he had not touched the concubine yet, he sent her to the gallows and sent the whole family of the noble who had an affair with her to the permafrost at the border to dig potatoes …
Hmm, that was most of the content in the Archmage's memories. Thinking about it, it was a little pitiful.
Looking at the Lich's memories, most of the content went like this:
Cultivation and research. Summoning new skeleton soldiers.
Cultivation and research. Helping the skeleton soldiers find their heads that were kicked like balls.
Cultivation and research. Killing a group of greedy adventurers who did not know what was good for them.
Cultivation and research. Equipping a certain death knight with the equipment found from the adventurers' corpses. Using the remaining parts to polish the bone dragon.
Cultivation and research. Rescuing a certain unlucky skeleton sorcerer from under the bone dragon's feet.
So, this guy was going to become a Lich in the end. Only a dead person could endure such a life, right? His and the Archmage's memories combined were not as interesting as the Walker codenamed Caveman.
The Caveman's memories went like this:
Today, I knocked down a big wild boar. How delicious!
Today, I knocked down a tusked elephant. How delicious!
Today, I knocked down a mutated person. Err … I don't think I can eat this?
Today, I knocked down a baby dragon. Bah! It's disgusting!
Hmm, most of the strong people's memories were boring like this. In fact, if you think about it carefully, if they did not devote most of their lives to boring cultivation, how could they achieve such achievements?
In the end, every Voidwalker exchanged their memories with Baiyi, making Baiyi the only one among the Voidwalkers who had all of their knowledge.
