After leaving the world of all NPCs

Heita raised his chin slightly, his purple eyes full of matter-of-factness: "What's wrong with that? I think it's very appropriate!"

Ye Zuochen looked at her "I am the truth" look and pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly: "As long as you are happy."

"Dear," Ruan Mei said affectionately, "Close your eyes again and let me study you a little more, okay?"

Ye Zuochen sensed the pure research desire in his gaze and sighed, "Even though you call me 'dear,' why do I always feel like... you're talking to your experimental animals?"

He said no more and slowly stood up.

When the Dao Fruit was first achieved, the body became so light that it seemed weightless, and there was a natural rhythm in every gesture.

"Let's talk later." Ye Zuochen's gaze turned to the empty side of the stage, as if penetrating space. "There's someone at the door."

Before he finished speaking, he casually raised his right hand and lightly pointed at the void.

squeak-

A wooden door appeared out of thin air, standing upright on the smooth floor like a stage prop.

The door is made of dark oak with clear texture and a sense of vicissitudes of time, forming a strange contrast with the surrounding high-tech suspended instruments.

knock!knock!knock!

The regular knocks on the door rang out clearly, echoing in the quiet stage auditorium.

Ye Zuochen walked to the door and spoke calmly through the panel, "Who are you? You don't look like the 'One-Eyed Princess'."

On the other side of the door, the scene was completely different.

This is Íesk Castle in Denmark.

It seemed to be early morning or dusk, and the sky was filled with the cool, dim light unique to Northern Europe.

The spire of the ancient castle is faintly visible in the mist, and the air is filled with the smell of moist earth and the cool fragrance of grass and trees.

It is surrounded by carefully manicured yet wild courtyards, and not far away is the "Mimir Fountain".

The spring water does not gush out, but gathers in a stone basin surrounded by ancient rocks and covered with slippery moss.

The water surface was as deep as ink, reflecting the castle's spire and the sparse shadows of the trees above. Occasionally, a barely perceptible ripple appeared, as if connected to some unknowable abyss of wisdom.

There was a figure standing beside the spring.

She was a girl who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old.

She has waist-length wavy hair that is as brilliant as molten gold.

The left eye flashes with a deep and demonic green light, containing infinite wisdom and power.

The right eye was tightly covered by a black leather eyepatch with frayed edges.

She was wearing a dark fur coat with the front wide open, or more like a gorgeous cloak, but underneath was only a black tight leather jacket with very little fabric, which outlined her curves in sharp contrast to her tender face.

On her head, she wore a witch's hat with a high protruding tip and an unusually wide brim that covered most of her forehead.

At this moment, she was standing quietly beside the spring.

Hearing the question from inside the door, the girl did not show any childish expression, but just said lightly:

"No, I'm not. I'm just using this body of a magician who once became a demon god, then gave up the position, and recently seems to have rekindled the idea of ​​returning to the path of a demon god, to talk to you."

Ye Zuochen felt the oppressive feeling of wisdom coming from outside the door, and asked in a deep voice:

"So, who are you?"

The girl beside the fountain raised her head slightly, and the green magic eye that was not covered by the eye mask seemed to penetrate the space and look directly at the existence behind the door.

"Odin the Immortal."

Deities have "synonyms", which means a prefix is ​​added before their names to distinguish them.

Like Wolf Apollo, Brilliant Apollo, Fire Apollo...

Or maybe it's the Yellow Emperor of the Ancestors, the Yellow Emperor of Thunder and Lightning, the Yellow Emperor of the Central...

Generally, there is no need to distinguish them, but in extremely rare cases, there are two or more gods with the same [divine nature]. To use a human analogy, it is like having the same name on the ID cards we use now.

And with "Immortal" as the prefix...

Ye Zuochen: "You are Odin of the [Undead Realm]!"

Faced with Taiyi God's move, Ye Zuochen set up two boxes as firewalls to buy himself time.

In addition, he also selected a special universe for [Mythology-Heavenly Way].

That is——A Certain Magical Index.

In this universe, there exists a being called "Demon God".

Life will eventually die, apples will eventually fall, one plus one equals two... These "laws" that will never change in the world can be destroyed, reorganized, and created using the magic recorded in the magic book.

One plus one becomes three, apples fall from the bottom up, and dead lives are resurrected.

Magicians call those who can do this a demon god.

The devil does not refer to the god of the demon world, but a magician who has fully mastered magic, stepped into the realm of God, and can distort all the laws of the world at will. He is the ultimate form of magician.

They entered the realm of God from different magic systems as early as the era of Isis. They are a member of the realm of God and the ultimate form of magician.

Some of them were born as gods, and some were sublimated from humans.

Buddhist, Celtic, Indian, Shinto, Inca-Aztec, Greco-Roman, and Norse mythology.

In various religions, if one can cultivate these "Tao" (mythological systems) to the extreme, one can become a demon god.

A complete demon god can control all laws and has the power to destroy the world and reshape it from scratch.

In the worldview of A Certain Magical Index, the world is overlapped by many religious phases. These phases are like filter membranes, covering the world layer by layer. The current world is the scenery "observed" through these phases.

The essence of the power of the demon god is the "phase of creation and destruction", which allows them to attach to the world. In this way, they can create and destroy the world at will.

According to the research of many scholars in the [NPC World], the so-called fourth level is life whose consciousness transcends matter.

Because consciousness is above matter, the changes and movements of matter will lean towards the fourth-order mind, which determines the script of the universe.

Then, the "demon god" who can create and destroy the world with a thought seems to fit this definition.

Therefore, Ye Zuochen threw away the world of "A Certain Magical Index". He believed that if [Mythology] wanted to annex this universe, it would definitely conflict with these demons, and of course it might also be some other existences.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as there is a conflict, you can buy time to preach.

It is even possible to escape all the time that [Mythology] annexed the universe. If he won the jackpot, the gods of [Mythology] would not be able to defeat the "demon".

That would be even more profitable.

Finally, where do the coordinates of the "Magic Index Universe" come from?

This is also very simple.

From linkage.

Although all the characters in [NPC World] are from various mobile games, Lala was successfully launched because of the linkage.

"Azur Lane" and "To Love-Ru" have collaborated and this character has appeared.

Thus, the [Big Light Ball] recorded the coordinates of the "To Love-Ru" universe.

The same cosmic coordinates also have a collaboration work with "Blue Files", namely "A Certain Scientific Railgun".

"It seems that the 'Demon God' finally lost to you mythical gods." Ye Zuochen withdrew his thoughts and said lightly.

Outside, Othinus stood before the deep stone basin beside Mimir's Fountain and said calmly, "Not just the 'Demon Gods', but also those inhuman gods."

"Although in theory, the non-human gods do not need to be eliminated, Taiyi is still anxious."

"So He chose the most radical solution—direct annihilation."

"However, according to the established rules of Fate, for gods like the Demon God who were elevated from human form, they must extend an invitation."

Ye Zuochen inside the doorway raised his eyebrows slightly. "Invitation? So the Undead Realm can also add new gods?"

Othinus seemed to take a step forward. “Of course.”

"However, the price is to abandon all physical form."

"Only pure 'spiritual light' can enter the [Undead Realm]."

"You seem to have made your mind real. You should understand what I mean."

Ye Zuochen nodded slightly through the door. "God of Wisdom, I've heard that the more a god resembles a human, the more stable the universe in which he exists. And vice versa..."

Othinus, standing outside the door, spoke calmly, "This is a very old topic. After we acquired humanity through the myths woven by humans, we also reached the 'minimum level of deity.' Only then did we undergo countless changes, annexing universes one after another, and creating mythical worlds one after another..."

"You're right. At least from the perspective of 'life', humans are the lowest form of gods, the one who 'demands' the least."

"If it were any other way..."

"Hehe, you know those gods whose every cell is a complete universe?"

Ye Zuochen shrugged: "I don't want to know."

Gods are the fourth level, and are real beings with spiritual reality.

Since they have reality, their "wishes", that is, their thoughts will affect the universe, which is the so-called "the universe has a script."

And it is safest for human beings to have clear thoughts.

If it were a life made up of countless bubbles, each bubble being a complete fourth-order universe, its thoughts would be truly puzzling.

Just like the star god in the Collapse Iron Universe, why does "Cunhu" use a hammer to build walls?

I am happy to use it and I like it.

I understand what I'm thinking, who has any objections?

It's probably a similar feeling.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Othinus' tone changed. "You've successfully blocked the progress of Taiyi God and his subordinates."

"They were forced to explain the situation to those 'Demon Gods' and send out invitations."

"And when the invitation was rightfully rejected, the fight broke out."

"Those 'Demons' were defeated."

"Without exception, they all chose an extremely 'smooth' surrender."

"The Great One God had no choice but to follow the rules and lead them to the [Undying Realm] and bestow upon them their respective [Godhoods]."

"Oh, this series of events has quietly come to an end... In your Eastern system, it should be called the 'Five Innate Elements'."

"After all, it's impossible for ordinary gods to reach the 'Taiyi Era' where nothing existed on their own. They can only rely on the guidance of the seventy-seven great gods."

The so-called Five Pre-Heavenly Elements refer to the five stages of the universe's creation from nothingness.

Taiyi, the state of the universe is only "nothingness".

In the beginning, there was no form or substance, only the innate Qi, a state of the universe more primitive than chaos.

Tai Shi, which is tangible but intangible and cannot be seen by the senses, is the original state of the universe before the creation of the world.

Tai Su, the cosmic state of primordial matter.

Tai Chi is the state of the universe where yin and yang are not separated.

Ye Zuochen's voice was filled with inquiry: "The Five Innate Greats...why didn't He let the 'Chaos Emperor' lead the way?"

Othinus said calmly, "Godslayer, there is nothing in the [Undead Realm]."

"To put it in human terms—there, all existence is reduced to its most essential 'body.'"

"And our battle is a pure fight of 'body' against 'body'."

"That's why some gods form special combinations—some become 'weapons', while others serve as 'controllers'."

Ye Zuochen realized almost immediately, "Could it be that the so-called 'Taiyi Holding the Chaos Bell' is actually Taiyi God grabbing the Chaos Emperor by the ankle and swinging him around like a humanoid weapon?"

The corners of Othinus' mouth seemed to curl upwards in a tiny arc. "You can understand it this way."

"In short, His Majesty the Chaos Emperor is willing to condescend to become a 'weapon', which is already a great honor."

"Now that Taiyi God has encountered some unexpected events, if He is still unable to retrieve that page of the Immortal Records from you... then their positions will probably be completely reversed."

Ye Zuochen nodded in understanding, "I see. So it's changing from 'Taiyi holding the Chaos Bell' to 'Chaos holding the Donghuang Bell'?"
