Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 605 Divine Dimension

“So, where shall we begin?” Tierra said with a smile. “Hermione, please briefly explain the three-dimensional theory of magic.”

“Ah…uh…the three-dimensional theory of magic is that the main attribute of the universe is the dimension. The dimensions that have been discovered so far are the material dimension, the spiritual dimension, and the mental dimension, as well as the divine dimension, which is far superior to the other three dimensions.” Hermione recited it fluently. “The material dimension supports the material world on which we depend for survival. Our flesh and blood, the vegetables and fruits we eat, the earth we stand on, and the air we breathe all belong to the material dimension.”

“Very good, very true, continue.” Tiera smiled and nodded in agreement.

“The spiritual dimension is the source of our magic, and it can also influence our emotions to some extent. Most animals in the Muggle world occupy both the spiritual and material dimensions, and they mainly rely on the spiritual dimension and act on instinct,” Hermione said.

“Yes, that’s right.” Tierra nodded.

“The spiritual dimension is our soul, the reason we can think and create. Muggles only occupy the material and spiritual dimensions, so they can’t use magic. Demons and Dementors occupy the spiritual and mental dimensions. They lack a material basis, which is why only wizards can see Dementors, while Muggles, who lack the spiritual dimension, cannot,” Hermione continued. “We wizards occupy the material, spiritual, and mental dimensions simultaneously. Compared to Muggles, although we possess the ability to use spells and have incredibly powerful individual strength, we are also influenced by the spiritual dimension, which makes us wizards more emotional than Muggles.”

“Very good, very good,” Tiera agreed. “That’s enough. I will now explain the matters of the divine dimension.”

“Okay.” Hermione stood there with her hands behind her back, looking at Tyella with eyes full of curiosity, like a graduate student being led by her tutor on a tour of the laboratory for the first time.

“The more specific role of the divine dimension is still unknown, even to me,” Tyella said gently. “But we only know two things so far. Just as the material dimension represents matter, the spiritual dimension represents magic, and the mental dimension represents the soul, the divine dimension represents the dimension of the laws governing the universe. Different coordinates of the divine dimension represent different rules. So, after discussions with Dumbledore, Nicolas Flamel, and other old wizards, we believe that we can also describe the divine dimension as a dimension of rules.”

"Mmm." Hermione nodded.

"Secondly, the divine dimension can preserve personal consciousness. As long as the coordinates of the divine dimension are not erased, even if a person's material, spiritual, and mental dimensions are all destroyed, they can still return from the divine dimension."

"Mmm." Hermione nodded eagerly.

"So, based on our understanding that the divine dimension is higher than other dimensions, and that the divine dimension can retain personal consciousness, these two characteristics lead to two important questions about the ritual of becoming a god—" Tie stretched out his fingers and made a "two".

“First, how do we ascend from the three dimensions of matter, spirituality, and mind to the divine dimension?” Tiera said.

"Uh-huh."

“Second, how do we preserve our consciousness in the divine dimension?” Tiera said. “Or rather, how can we accurately preserve our consciousness in the divine dimension, our consciousness without any difference?”

"Mmm-hmm." Hermione nodded vigorously, as if she wanted to turn her broom-like head into a skewer.

"Therefore, after a long period of exploration, in order to solve these two problems, our ancestral wizards, through continuous exploration, finally discovered something called the three-dimensional origin and the anchor," Tierra continued. "Today we won't talk about anything else, just the three-dimensional origin." "Mmm-hmm," Hermione nodded like a bee.

“The so-called three-dimensional origin is the product of the perfect fusion of the material, spiritual, and mental dimensions, and it is also the origin of the fourth dimension, the divine dimension,” Tiera said. “The Philosopher’s Stone is merely the manifestation of this origin in the material, spiritual, and mental dimensions; its true function is to provide us with the gateway to the divine dimension—”

"Therefore, in the rite of becoming a god, the Philosopher's Stone is also called the 'gate'."

"Mmm-hmm." Hermione nodded frantically.

“And the origin of the three-dimensional coordinates is unchanging,” Tiera said. “Or to be more precise, the fourth dimension, which is the divine dimension or the dimension of rules, is the origin of the coordinates because it marks the unchanging rules between the universe, and it intersects with the three dimensions of matter, spirit and soul that represent the three cornerstones of the universe.”

"Mmm." Hermione nodded so hard her neck was aching.

“Now, Hermione, I have a question for you,” Tierra asked with a smile. “Since the coordinates of the fourth dimension, the divine dimension, are unchanging, why do we need to recalculate them during the process of crafting Philosopher’s Stones, instead of using or simply copying the formulas, calculations, and experiments of our predecessors?”

"Hmm?" Hermione was about to nod habitually, but then she suddenly realized something and her neck froze in mid-air—

"Hmm, I'll think about it," Hermione said, then frowned and began to think like a little adult.

A few minutes passed
“Give me a little more time to think it over,” Hermione said.

Several more minutes passed.
"I...I don't know," Hermione said, looking dejected.

“There’s nothing to be discouraged about, Hermione,” Tierra said with a smile. “There are many things we don’t know on the path of exploring magic and truth. What’s worse than not knowing is pretending to know what you don’t. What stops us from moving forward is not the unknown, but pretending to know what you don’t.”

"Mmm." Hermione nodded vigorously.

“Alright, let’s get back to the main point. Since the coordinates of the fourth dimension, the divine dimension, are unchanging, why do we need to recalculate them during the process of refining the magic stone, instead of using or simply copying the formulas, calculations, and experiments of our predecessors?” Tiera said. “Because we live in a three-dimensional world. That is to say, before we come into contact with the divine dimension, we are still in the three dimensions of matter, spirit, and mind. We ourselves change with the changes in the dimensions of matter, spirit, and mind.”

"In other words, we are constantly changing relative to the unchanging three-dimensional origin, so from our own perspective, the three-dimensional origin is also constantly changing relative to us."
