Witch Special

Although the reason was unknown, for Lin Zhenxi, the Creator Ring's ability to completely internalize her power, creating a space within her body that was suitable for her power without any interference from the outside world, truly saved her a lot of trouble. Although the price of this was that the power of "creation" became a function internal to the Creator Ring, unable to be used directly outside, it was actually just an additional transportation process, which was not a big problem at least for small items and small quantities.

Normally, the full power of "creation" involves creating something out of nothing, creating something that might not even exist in reality. Luke's City of Silence was hammered out one by one with the Hammer of Creation. Especially during the section where the City of Silence traveled through another dimension, the metal shell that could withstand the erosion of the dimensional storm was actually "unreal matter" that didn't exist in reality.

Otherwise, it stands to reason that, aside from space itself, no substance could resist the dimensional storm's attack; energy alone could be used to neutralize it. However, the Silent City's outer armor showed no energy response; it inherently possessed the ability to resist dimensional storms. This could only be Luke's creation.

Now, the authority of "creation" is internalized within the creator's ring and becomes a function of the internal space. Its nature of creating something out of nothing no longer exists.

In fact, it didn't exist in the first place. Even if Luke himself wanted to create some substances that didn't exist, he would need to use magic to supplement them. However, magic can be restored naturally, and it is worthless to people with huge magic power, so there is no difference whether this restriction exists or not.

Now, because the power of "creation" is only effective inside the creator's ring, the raw materials it creates out of nothing have become some kind of basic substance existing in the internal space. Unfortunately, this substance is not ordinary magic power, but a more special energy.

Well, the full name of the Creator Ring is "The Creator Ring of Light and Darkness", and it has the prefix "Light and Darkness" in front of it. This prefix describes the special spatial environment within the Creator Ring.

Inside the Creator's Ring, there was a stable energy space. Due to the return of power, the energy activity in this space had become very low. If Lin Zhenxi had left a few days later, perhaps with the disappearance of power, this special energy space would have ceased to exist.

In this energy space, not only normal magic power cannot exist, but even other forms of energy cannot exist, because this entire space is composed of the special energy of "light and darkness". This energy constitutes the space and also limits the space.

In order for the Creator Ring to unleash its power to create something out of nothing, Lin Zhenxi needed to do two things. First, he had to find the energy of "light and darkness." Second, he had to expend magical power to transform the object from its "light and darkness" form into a physical form.

"Light and Dark" isn't simply light and darkness, but a unique energy that simultaneously possesses the contradictory qualities of both. It's completely different from the universal magic, and Lin Zhenxi has never encountered such energy. Precisely because of this contradictory yet harmonious unity, this unique energy holds infinite possibilities. When combined with the power of "creation," it possesses the power to create everything, even mechanical life.

Lin Zhenxi speculated that "Light and Dark" was likely a higher-level magic created by combining light and dark magic. Much like her "string" element, it was a special kind of magic that required transformation. Generally speaking, special magic was inaccessible to those without special adaptability, let alone production. Therefore, for Lin Zhenxi, the biggest challenge in using this ring lay in obtaining this special "Light and Dark" energy.

The Creator Ring didn't actually lock things down too tightly, at least leaving a little loophole for Lin Zhenxi. It inherently possessed the ability to transform "light and darkness." As long as Lin Zhenxi placed it close to her body, it would absorb the traces of magic naturally emanating from her body. By placing it in both bright and dark environments, it would continuously generate "light and darkness."

Therein lay the problem. The amount converted was too little. The negligible amount of magic power naturally released from Lin Zhenxi's body alone was enough to maximize the ring's conversion rate. Any more would be too much to hold. Although a little bit of magic power could add up to a lot, it wasn't useless, but Lin Zhenxi wasn't satisfied with this slow and steady flow.

We have to find a way to feed this ring all at once.

There is nothing much to say about using magic to materialize matter. It is just a matter of how much magic power is needed. Lin Zhenxi was able to do it a long time ago.

So the problem now is that the ring itself has a serious lack of "light and dark" energy reserves. With the "light and dark" accumulated in the Creator Ring, Lin Zhenxi feels that he really can't create anything with it.

By the way, these cognitive questions of "what, why, and how" are actually well within the scope of the "company" to answer. If Lin Zhenxi wanted to know what exactly can be used to charge the Creator Ring, perhaps asking the "company" would be a good choice.

Of course, this service isn't free; aside from questions related to the "company's" departmental functions, all consultations are charged. However, since this service isn't limited to just the special correspondents, but is open to all employees of the entire "company," even to foreigners seeking assistance, this consulting service can be purchased with money.

If it can be bought with money, then it's not a big deal. And unlike the question about asking for a reward from the White Princess, this matter was entirely Lin Zhenxi's personal matter. So, Lin Zhenxi took out her personal terminal, spread out her palm, scanned the Creator Ring on her palm with it, and then submitted her question on the QA platform.

"How can I obtain the large quantities of 'Light and Darkness' needed for this ring?"

The question is rather vague, but given the company's intelligence, this vagueness can actually lead to better responses. This is because the QA interface addresses some aspects that the questioner might not have considered. On the other hand, if the question is too clearly described, the QA platform might only offer a definitive "yes" or "no" answer, losing its crucial scalability.

The personal terminal finished scanning the Creator's Ring. Three dots appeared on the screen, jumping in sequence for a while, and then problems began to appear in the dialog box.

"Detection question: How can I obtain the large amounts of 'light and dark' required for this ring?"

"Answer: The scanned object was detected as the 'Ring of the Creator of Light and Darkness', from the independent world 'Arad (formerly known as Terra)'."

"After systematic analysis, we have come to the following conclusion: The energy 'light and darkness' required by this item is a unique energy product of contradictions. It possesses highly active and contradictory properties, yet exhibits a unique stability due to the balance of these contradictions."

"The system now gives the following suggestions——"

"Option one: Considering the item's origins, we can use Terra Stone, a mineral native to this world, to recharge it. Terra Stone is a magical mineral unique to Terra. It possesses extremely powerful energy, but is highly unstable and radioactive. After being rendered harmless, it can be used as a universal energy source for the products of this world."

"Option two, considering the energy properties of 'light and darkness', can be converted from energies that already have contradictory properties. This conversion process requires additional energy to compensate, and the conversion efficiency is relatively low."

"Option three: Use Terra Stone as a template to create a Mimic Terra Stone with similar properties. This requires finding a high-energy ore with properties similar to Terra Stone, imbuing it with contradictory concepts, and then dissolving and purifying it. This will yield a Mimic Terra Stone crystal. The ring can absorb the energy within and automatically convert it into 'light and dark' energy for its use."

"Option four: seek out the fundamental level of light and dark energy, fuse them, and ensure their stable existence. This will yield a source of 'light and dark' energy that never needs to be depleted, completely ending this problem."

"The answer is over. I would like to ask our valued members whether you are satisfied with this answer. Please give us your feedback. This system will become better with your feedback."

Lin Zhenxi was not charged for her question this time! She received an answer right after posting her question, and there was no interface asking her to pay. This was not the case when Lin Zhenxi used the QA interface before.

"Dear valued member user", when did I become a member of the QA platform?

Could this be the benefit that Princess White prepared for me?

Not sure, ask.

Lin Zhenxi wrote down her question on the QA platform, and this time the system answered it almost instantly. Her membership privileges were activated today, or to be exact, about an hour ago, when she had just returned from the other world.

Well, if that’s the case, then it’s confirmed. This permission was given to her by Princess Bai just now.

The membership privileges Princess Bai had granted Lin Zhenxi weren't limited to the QA platform; she had elevated her personal privileges to a higher level, with numerous benefits included. Permanent free access to the QA platform without having to pay was just one of them. Lin Zhenxi carefully browsed through the long list of services and discovered that seemingly all the services she had previously required payment for were now available to her free of charge.

In other words, she can get anything for free from now on, great!

And this time... Lin Zhenxi noticed that he had spent nearly a year in the other world, while only two months had passed in the main world. The time in the main world and the time in the other world did not match again.
