Arcane Lord

Since there is the power of order, it is likely that there will also be the power of chaos. The collision between the force and the power of order can give birth to divine fire, but what about the collision with the power of chaos?

Will there be a birth of divine fire, or other similar existences?

And the power of faith may not only be positive. Do fear and hatred count?

As the saying goes, creation is always harder than destruction. Order requires a lot of time and energy to establish, but isn't destruction just a casual thing? Especially for those who possess great power.

Xia Duo imagined such a route to ascend to the gods——

Continuously causing killings and spreading fear, the final achievement may be the "God of Chaos and Fear" or the "God of Chaos and Killing".

These Xia Duo can imagine that other people who have obtained the information of the Ascension Ceremony may also imagine that as long as someone wants to take shortcuts and put it into practice, it will definitely cause great chaos. (It may not be that you really want to take a shortcut, it may just be forced by the situation, such as the enemy sending news that the ascension ceremony is going smoothly)

And chaos may increase the chances of success for such people who ascend to the gods.

It will be tragic when bad money drives out good money and the competition to become a god becomes a showdown of sorts. Order completely collapses and chaos dominates everything.

Even if such an extreme situation does not occur, will there be conflicts among the various participants in the God Ascension Competition in the process of establishing order?

Xia Duoke still remembered that there was a "divine position" in the background of the game on Earth. For example, the princess's "exploitation and protection" was considered a kind of "divine position".

Generally speaking, a priesthood can only correspond to one god. If there are multiple gods, there is no doubt that you are destined to fight to the death.

In the real magical world, Shado still doesn't know whether there will be a "clergy", but it is clear that a power of order can only have one controller.

Of course, tolerance and differentiation are also possible, but would those who have become gods be willing to have their authority divided by those who come after them?

Even if neither party has become a god, if the path is the same, or even just similar, wouldn't there be thoughts of eradicating the competitor?

This is completely different from the magic path. The magic path is for everyone to make progress together. Even those conservatives also enjoy such benefits.

There may be competition or even hatred between mages or arcanists in some aspects, but it is more of a struggle of interests. On the grand theme of the path of magic, everyone is not in a competitive relationship.

But the emergence of the God Ascension Ceremony will turn all those who are qualified to perform the ceremony into potential competitors.

The God Ascension Competition is really true!

Of course, the situation may also develop for the better. For example, all the great arcanists have discussed in advance who will establish what order and who will become a god. They can then develop independently without interfering with each other.

Shado feels that today's Netheril is very likely to be able to do this. After all, Netheril in the past was relatively orderly, and the great arcanists were relatively rational and restrained.

Nothing out of control has happened in the country.

The most serious thing that Shado knew was that last year, Grand Arcanist Braun went to block the door of Grand Arcanist Vader's mage tower, but now, isn't the matter resolved?

At least Braun is no longer blocking the door.

But such a good side still contains dangers. For example, if the new Grand Arcanist in the future does not establish a suitable new order for him, will he challenge the old order?

Also, if those forerunners who successfully ascended to god become conservative and do not want the order that is the foundation of divine power to be unstable and resist change, will Netheril be allowed to maintain the status quo until the end of time?

Do you want to maintain your superiority even at the expense of suppressing the development of magic?

In Xia Duo's view, that kind of solidified era in which "the gods rule the world and suppress all variables" might be better than having a few more gods of chaos from the beginning!

…

In the laboratory, Shado thought about it and finally felt that the emergence of the God Ascension Ceremony would do more harm than good to Netheril.

For the magical civilization he wants to create and develop, it will do more harm than good.

Of course, all of this is just some personal speculation based on the data of the Ascension Ceremony. How it will develop in the future can only be verified with time.

What he wants to know most now is how far God can interfere in the mortal world.

Or to be more specific - how powerful is the incarnation of the princess in Nese Palace, whether she can take action at will, whether her body can enter the main plane, etc.

However, these are difficult to ask the princess directly. At least these questions are not something that people with Xia Duo's relationship can ask at will.

Even Niya is not suitable to ask these questions.

Perhaps Master Byron can. As the princess's highly respected teacher when she was a mortal, Master Byron may be the most suitable person in the world to ask the princess those questions.

But unfortunately, the relationship between Sha Duo and Master Byron is not close enough to ask him to do such a thing.

"well--"

Xia Duo sighed, and then lifted the various protective spells he had just arranged in the laboratory. Without the nearly complete isolation protective measures, he immediately received a message.

On the communication instrument.

If it is a general communication spell, if the target is in an isolated state, then the communication will definitely fail, but [Magic Network Background Communication] is different.

It uses the magic network background fluctuation communication, which is essentially a global broadcast. If there is no target or the target is isolated, it will always exist.

Only when the target appears, this special magic network background fluctuation will immediately "collapse" and be received by the target. After that, even if you want to eavesdrop, it will be difficult to achieve.

Perhaps in the future, if the relevant technology reaches a certain level, it will be possible to trace the content of the transmission by detecting the echo residue in the background fluctuations of the Magic Network, but now, it is simply not possible.

Coupled with the encryption of the communication instrument's transmission, even if the echo residue can be detected in the future, it may not be possible to decipher the transmission content.

But direct communication is different. Direct casting of spells requires the caster to encrypt the spells themselves. If some people do not encrypt to save trouble, they may be eavesdropped.

Especially [Magic Network Background Communication], which is a nearly global broadcast communication method, if it is not encrypted, the possibility of being eavesdropped is greater than that of ordinary communication techniques.

Of course, it hasn't been long since the emergence of the main plane's magic network background communication. There should not be many people who have mastered the eavesdropping technology, not even Xia Duo.

He did not find the eavesdropping technology of this spell in [Projection Plane·Arcane Empire], and did not study it in depth later.

Niya, on the other hand, has set her research direction in the field of communications and may invent such technology in the future.

…

The person who sent the message to Sha Duo was Rodit. Before the princess's ascension ceremony, he also invited Sha Duo to explore the ruins of the Discovery Era in Xenis, but Sha Duo refused.

After that, Rodit retreated to the next best thing and only asked for Shado's [Psychic Link] to assist in the exploration process. He didn't even need Shado to go to Zenis to cooperate with the exploration nearby. He would take people to the southern border to complete the link, and then go there. remains.

This summons was an advance notice that Rodit wanted to visit the Tower of Time and requested that the Tower of Time transmit the access key to the magic circle.

"Does he know I've come to Severton, or does he not?"

But it didn't matter. Chateau asked Rodit to meet at the Austrian Union, and then left this private laboratory that was already exclusive to him.
