After leaving the world of all NPCs

what happened?

The two hundred and fifty-two combat nuns raised their heads slightly in confusion, their eyes all focused on Ye Zuochen, the only person standing at the center of the circle.

The confusion lasted less than half a second.

The next moment, the emptiness in more than two hundred pairs of eyes was instantly filled with unreserved fascination.

The cold murderous intent was gone, replaced by a fiery love that could melt steel.

That look was as if the believers saw the one true God who had come to the mortal world, with the fanaticism of a sacrifice and the absolute piety of being willing to be torn to pieces for Him.

Even Janice's lemon-tea-colored eyes were filled with tears at this moment. She looked up at Ye Zuochen obsessively. The lotus stick in her hand had already slipped out of her hand and rolled weakly onto the carpet.

For the person in front of you, give your life, faith and even everything!

All the nuns reached a consensus.

Rather than slowly grinding the four "props" girls, enjoy the process of conquest.

Ye Zuochen decided to keep it simple this time and go straight to the future where all 252 members of Janice's army surrendered to him.

[The Eyes of the God Who Hasn't Arrived] is to skip the process and directly reach the [power] required in the future.

This isn't a wishing machine, the kind that allows me to make a wish and have it come true immediately.

But it is the power to "reach the future".

If this future does not exist, then it cannot be achieved.

Similarly, although it is skipped, the "process" of realizing this future still exists.

That is, there is a "logical chain".

The "logical chain" at this time was also very simple, that is, Ye Zuochen used the [Gilded Heart-binding Silk] to charm all the nuns present.

At this moment, more than two hundred scorching gazes were burning Ye Zuochen.

The expensive display case became a backdrop, and the broken fragments of light from the barrier shimmered faintly under the remaining spotlights.

Ye Zuochen's gaze casually swept over and landed on Janice Santis, who was kneeling in the front with her lemon-tea eyes full of water and obsession.

The specially made monastic robes looked even shorter when he was kneeling, revealing a large area of ​​white leg skin, and the heavy cork sandals were tilted to one side.

"Okay, Janice." Ye Zuochen's voice was low, but it penetrated the silence of fanatical faith. "Can you tell me everything about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Janice straightened her slender back, kneeling in a posture as perfect as the most devout prayer, and began to narrate at a rapid pace: "The magical religious sects of the Christian faith have flourished all over the world, in various forms."

"At the same time, there are also many heretical magical religious sects that are completely different from the Christian system, such as the once glorious 'Palace of Wisdom'... However, they have all been completely wiped out."

"The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was also defined as a heresy and eventually eliminated!"

"Their leader is an extremely arrogant lunatic!"

Janice's tone was filled with indignation, in keeping with her faith. "How dare he claim to be the second son of God and the younger brother of Christ!"

"He attempted to forcibly graft the indigenous Chinese Confucian magic system onto the foundation of Christianity in order to build up his power and seize authority that did not belong to him!"

"Ultimately, he was completely defeated by the predecessor forces of the scientific camp and those local magicians who firmly disagreed with the concept of equating 'God' with 'the Lord'."

Ye Zuochen listened quietly, his fingertips tapping unconsciously on the smooth edge of the display case.

It turned out to be the case.

The magic system in this world is generally based on ideas such as wishes, desires, and will.

This idea can also come from any cultural medium such as religion, belief, mythology, and even folklore and fairy tales.

However, by now, magical theory has also been improved.

The basis of modern magic is the idea of ​​synaesthesia, which holds that all objects in the world, such as symbols, names, images, etc., have supernatural connections and can therefore influence each other.

Mystical systems such as religion and mythology produce aspects.

There are as many phases as there are religious myths, and these layers, like filters, form the world. The distances between phases are not fixed, and their influence on the present world changes with the succession of civilizations, the rise and fall of civilizations, and other factors.

If all aspects were destroyed, what would remain would be a world without magic.

Phases can be created, manipulated, and destroyed artificially.

Occasionally, phases will collide with each other and create "sparks".

"Sparks" are the luck that has not yet turned into miracles, and they will affect every aspect of the world.

The use of integrated magical theories, such as Hermeticism used by the Golden Dawn and modern Western magic, will force the phases to rub and collide with each other, frequently generating "sparks" and causing fluctuations in the world's destiny, similar to the reaction force of magic.

Aleister once tried to spread a new myth, using the new phase as a buffer to suppress the birth of the "spark", and by staggering the phases, he could make others invisible, move to other phases, and disappear from the world.

Ye Zuochen understood: "So, the Taiping Rebellion in this world was, on the surface, a movement of lower-class Han people who were dissatisfied with the Qing government's loss of power and humiliation of the country."

"But secretly, the magician hopes to equate the Confucian aspect of 'Haotian God' with the Western 'Jehovah', making 'Christ' equal to 'Ji Du', so that the Confucian mythology aspect and the Christian mythology aspect collide and produce enough 'sparks' to save the land of China..."

"Ugh……"

"It's a pity he failed, but fortunately these 'sparks' were not wasted after all."

Ye Zuochen withdrew his gaze from the void and returned his gaze to Janice: "Did you bring the Book of Law with you?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Janice said immediately, "The original text of the Book of Law is right here!"

"Give me."

"Yes!"

Janice immediately took action, stood up, and walked quickly towards a seemingly ordinary huge stone sculpture base deep in the exhibition hall.

She pressed rhythmically a few times on several places on the side of the base that looked like decorative reliefs. A slight mechanical sound was heard, and a secret compartment on the back of the base slid open silently.

In the secret compartment, there lay a rather large book.

The appearance of the book is extremely simple and rustic. The cover is made of dark gray leather whose material is difficult to identify. The edges are inlaid with worn dark silver metal corners. There is no text or pattern in the center, only a heavy feeling of time.

Janice carefully took it out, quickly returned to Ye Zuochen, knelt on her knees again, held up the magic book high, and presented it to him.

Ye Zuochen stretched out his hand and easily took the Book of Law.

Authentic without any mistake.

"Well done." Ye Zuochen looked at Janice again: "Since you presented the Book of Law with your own hands, I will allow you to make a request."

"Request?" Janice was slightly startled, and her lemon-brown eyes instantly burst into an incredible ecstasy.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at the nuns kneeling behind her.

More than two hundred pairs of eyes flashed with the same burning and expectant light in the dim light.

Without words, a silent consensus was reached in an instant.

Janice turned her head, and two extremely conspicuous blushes suddenly appeared on her fair cheeks, spreading all the way to her ears, and even her pencil-thick three-strand braid began to tremble slightly.

She took a deep breath, as if mustering up the greatest courage of her life, and shouted with a trembling but incomparably firm voice:

"We wish to follow the king! Please allow us to serve you!"

More than two hundred nuns raised their heads in unison, their eyes focused on Ye Zuochen like searchlights.

Every pair of eyes burned with the same desire, the same plea.

Follow him!

Serve him!

Become a force under his command!

Ye Zuochen's gaze calmly swept across the faces full of expectation, and across Janice's face which was flushed with shyness and excitement. He just nodded casually and agreed to this insignificant matter.

"Ah."

The moment this syllable fell, a torrent of ecstasy of spiritual release instantly swept through the entire exhibition hall!

Janice opened her lemon-brown eyes wide in disbelief, then buried her head deeply, her shoulders shaking slightly due to intense emotions, which was an expression of extreme joy.

Behind her, the frozen anticipation on the faces of the 252 nuns suddenly exploded.

Countless young faces broke into smiles as brilliant as if breaking through dark clouds, and the tears accumulated in their eyes finally turned into hot tears that slid down and hit the cold floor.

Silent sobs, suppressed gasps of excitement, and excited whimpers that were suppressed but still leaked out... merged into a buzz of joy.

164 Woban: This one wasn't played well.

After placing all 252 nuns in the [Qingqiong Locking Palace], Ye Zuochen flashed and came to a corner of the temple.

The unique fishy smell of moist soil and the cool scent of clear springs intertwined in the courtyard of the temple.

There is a flat stone floor under your feet, with lush green grass peeking out from the cracks. Not far away, on the dark and soft soil, several tall oak trees stand silently, their branches and leaves stretching out in the eternal and soft glow of the temple.

A spring flows silently in the center of the courtyard, with mist lingering on the surface of the water.

Ye Zuochen's figure quietly appeared under the oak tree, without stirring up a speck of dust on the stone slab.

A few steps away, Othinus stood by the fountain, gazing down at his reflection in the water.

Her wavy golden hair fell on her shoulders, and she casually draped an open heavy fur coat, revealing a bikini outfit consisting only of a few black leather belts. Her wide-brimmed witch hat covered most of her face, revealing only her delicate jaw and her right eye covered with a black leather eyepatch.

“What brings you here?” Othinus asked, his voice a little distant and disturbed, without turning around. “If it’s that kind of thing…”

Ye Zuochen walked forward, his footsteps making a slight "tapping" sound on the stone slabs.

"You'll drive me away?"

“No…” Othinus turned halfway to the side, glancing at him with his left eye, which was gleaming with emerald green light. “It’s just that I’m thinking about something, so you can move on your own.”

"I do have some important business." Ye Zuochen stopped one step away from her.

Hearing the words "business", Othinus straightened his body slightly and symbolically tightened his open fur coat, although it did not provide much coverage.

She lifted her small chin, her face hidden in the shadow of the wide brim of her hat. The black leather eyepatch over her right eye looked cold and hard in the light. She offered a gesture of reluctant grace. "Do you need advice? I can reluctantly answer some of your questions."

Ye Zuochen got straight to the point: "It's about some things about the phase and some things about magic. Now that the phase has been stripped away, from the religious phase to the mythological phase, has the magic changed?"

Othinus snorted softly. The question was too basic, but it happened to be right in the area where she could demonstrate her knowledge.

She folded her slender arms, her green left eye gleaming with condescension as she explained, "Magic power is the driving force of magic. The foundation of magic is to transform one's own life force into magic power. Magic power exists in all forms of life, not just magicians, although only magicians can wield it."

She loosened her arms and gestured casually in the air, as if outlining invisible energy veins.

"Harnessing the life force within the human body is one way to create magic."

"Magic power exists in multiple forms, varying in quality and quantity depending on the practitioner's training methods, sect, technique, and individual vitality."

"The same magician who refines life force using different schools of thought will obtain different magical powers."

"Magic requires the use of magic power. This is an iron rule."

"Although some believe that true magic does not require any special talent, effort, location, or time, and can be used by anyone regardless of gender, race, wealth, or preparation."

“Pick up a stone or a branch and it will bring about a miracle. That’s magic.”

Othinus shrugged, his hat brim swaying slightly. "But it also requires energy to drive the magic! It can be magic power, the power of the earth veins, and of course, the power of the phase."

"Current magic can no longer invoke the power of phase."

"Only the power of the earth veins and my own magic can be used."

After hearing this, Ye Zuochen showed no surprise, but just nodded slightly to show that he understood.

Then, he turned his wrist and the Book of Law appeared in his hand.

"I also want to confirm whether the magic in this book has changed."

Othinus's gaze fell on the Book of Law, his left eye narrowed slightly, and he stretched out his slender fingers and carefully took the book.

She didn't say much, just flipped through a few pages and started reading.

From the past to the present, no one has been able to interpret the Book of Law. Even Ossola, who claimed to be able to interpret the Book of Law, had a wrong interpretation method.

However, for Othinus, who had once entered the realm of God, deciphering the magic in the Book of Law was not difficult at all.

After a moment, Othinus slammed the book shut and said calmly, "Hmph, I see. This is his goal. He's achieved half of it now, but the other half will never be achieved."

She handed the book back to Ye Zuochen.

"The contents of this grimoire have indeed undergone a fundamental shift. It no longer relies on the stripped-away 'religious aspect' as the cornerstone of its rules. Its power is now firmly anchored in the new 'mythological aspect'."

Ye Zuochen took the book and nodded: "Then I feel relieved."
