Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 414 Symbolism
Elandia writes a new title on the whiteboard: "Road to Creation."She then filled in a line of small words below: Start with Hengli.

"From constant reasoning to giving up." Gongsun Ce didn't stop talking.

"Ce, the barrier of preconceived ideas will have a strong impact on practice." Elandia said seriously, "If you think you can't do it, you can only choose to give up."

"Don't be like that, I'll just say something poor."

"I reminded you that it depends on the occasion when you speak many times."

"Are we at some incredible international conference?" Gongsun Ce rubbed his hair, "Okay, I won't make trouble, please, Professor Elandia, I can't wait to swim in the ocean of knowledge with you."

"Very well, keep your studies motivated."

Gongsun Ce gave a loud "tsk", and Qin Qianbai and Shi Yuling whispered to each other.

"Ah Ce's yin and yang strange energy has no effect at all."

Elandia tapped on the whiteboard: "Let's start with the foundation of the creation method. The question, what is the commonality of the creation method?"

Top student Qin Qianbai raised his hand to answer: "It can create a vast 'world' born of aura, which can affect the real world on a large scale in a short period of time, and has the effect of neutralizing the phenomenon of giant dragons."

"Correct. The manifesto can create domains, while the creation covenant can extend a narrow domain into a vast world. The world is the absolute home of the creation covenant, and he or she can influence and control the world in the world Every inch of space, matter and energy.

Please note that the world of Genesis Magistrate is a different space from the real world. Even though the two seem similar, their foundations are completely different. "

Elandia tapped the whiteboard to remind this is the important point: "In reality, we know that 1+1=2, mass and energy are conserved, and the effects of force are mutual. But in Genesis, 1+1 can be equal to 3 , mass can generate energy out of thin air, and interaction force can exist out of thin air.”

Qi Luo was surprised and said, "Won't conventional weapons lose their meaning to the Chuangjie Envoy? The laws of physics inside the Chuangjie may be different from the outside world!"

"What's the point of conventional weapons in the other world?" Gongsun Ce said, "It's useless to fight dragons and useless to fight magic envoys. The only function of these junks seems to be that humans can kill each other."

"Conventional weapons can also provide brand-new memes, don't ignore the content of our last class." Elandia nodded, "Let's get down to business, there is another set of self-consistent internal logic in Genesis, this set of self-defined rules It is the foundation of the existence of the world, and we call it 'constant principle'."

Elandia drew an ellipse at the bottom left of the whiteboard to represent "the world", and drew a small perfect circle in the middle of the ellipse to represent "constant principles".She looked at Shigure Rei: "Miss Shigure, can you please describe how you felt when you created the world?"

"I want to listen to the money, [-] million per person."

"I'll make you an extra pudding at noon." Qin Qianbai said.

"Deal!" Shigure nodded happily, "Actually, I told the little villain before that the existence of the soul and self has become infinitely broad, and if there is no restraint, it will rise to a distant place. If it is a little earlier Feeling... I want to be free, it's as simple as that."

"You have your own cognition and understanding of freedom. That obsession and perception are your constant principles, and Dreamland is the means for you to realize this pursuit. We can see the connection between constant principles and the world."

She draws double arrows pointing at each other between the ellipse and the perfect circle.

"Hengli is inside the world, and the world is supported by Hengli. The world revolves according to Hengli, and Hengli is achieved by the world." Elandia concluded, "This is the commonality of all creation law envoys, and it is also true. There is an essential difference between the world-creating law envoy and the powerful combat units such as relying on the dragon machine and the constant dragon body, as well as the policy."

"Although those things have a large range of influence, they are not consistent, so they can be easily solved." Gongsun Ce scratched his head, "I'm actually considered a super high-efficiency counterfeit world, but the configuration is high enough to match the decent ones. fight."

"Correct. If you learn to master the mind of the meme on the basis of possessing constant principles, you can be called a formal creation law envoy."

The corners of Shigure Zero's eyes twitched: "It's not official until I learn the meme mind? Then what was I before?"

Gongsun Ce kindly reminded: "Create a world in preschool?"

"Impossible!" Shigure Zero vehemently denied, "If I was a head lower than other creation worlds, I would be able to get to this point? Then I should lose when I fight the Netherlight Dragon."

"Miss Shigure's fantasy country has the power to control time. This is an extremely rare nature, so it is difficult to deal with it. Please note that the battle of creating a world is not about size, and remember not to carry out this level of battle with the idea of ​​overwhelming others. .”

"You're embarrassing me, okay, the feature of our Nirvana Facial Envoy is that it can perform miracles with great strength."

"Gongsun Ce, you also said that the characteristic of the Jixiang method is self-destruction." Qi Luo said.

"There is no contradiction. Only by letting yourself out can you have greater power to solve the opponent. Where did we just talk?"

Elandia wrote a personal name on the whiteboard, "Speaking of the different stages of the world creation law envoys. Ce, you have come into contact with many creation world law envoys, and the following are the ones who stay at the constant stage."

There are three names written under "Hengli": Rei Shigure, Orianna, and [Queen Anne] with a black frame.

Everyone mourned silently for three seconds. Gongsun Ce felt a little strange when he recalled the past of the kingdom.

"I remember that the crown can inherit the law of impermanence...Hasn't Gray succeeded to the throne and has not broken through the creation world?"

"Ce, you should call her His Majesty Gray now." The Dawn Knight corrected, "His Majesty Gray is extremely talented, and she is striving to become stronger. She has mastered the power and entered the next stage of the World Creation Law."

"She improved so fast?" Gongsun Ce was surprised.The Gray Morton he remembered was still the bespectacled apprentice four years ago, walking around in a robe with a big book in his hand, cleaning up the mess for her nasty big brother.It was difficult for him to connect the gentle and intelligent girl back then with the current queen, and he couldn't even imagine what kind of style Gray would look like when she transformed into a powerful person.

"Teacher Alandia, what kind of power is power?" Top student Qin Qianbai raised his hand, "How strong is the world-creating magician who has power?"

"Power is still a little far away from the current Ce and Miss Shigure, and has nothing to do with you, so it is not the main content of this lesson."

Qin Qianbai was a little disappointed when he heard this, and asked instead: "Then, what is the constant principle of the magician who returns to heaven?"

Shi Yuling's eyes widened: "There is also a constant principle in the technique of returning to heaven?"

"They have." Elandia nodded, "The strongest of the Heaven-returning warlocks also possess constant principles. Unlike the creation magicians, the Heaven-returning warlocks will integrate constant principles into their bodies. Their bodies are therefore They have become the most advanced mind arm, and they themselves have the power to break most spells."

"The 'final state' of martial arts..." Qin Qianbai asked, "Is there any more information?"

"I'm sorry, the information I know is limited to this. My practice of returning to heaven has stopped at the extreme level, and I am not as good as you." Elandia suggested, "The master who is best at this is your uncle 'Dark Guest' Qin Ming, I think he is happy to share his experience with you."

Qin Qianbai thanked him and didn't ask any more questions.Gongsun Cexin said that Qin Min would be willing to teach, but is Qin Qianbai willing to ask?A few months ago in Island Zero, Qin Ming made the child angry for a long time. If she could lower her head to find Qin Ming and ask her without shame, then most of the knots in her heart should be solved.

He reckoned that the girl would be unhappy if he continued to think about it, so he quickly changed the subject: "Then Teacher Ailandia, it seems useless to improve the level if we don't talk about power and power. very?"

"Our real topic today is symbolism, which is an advanced technique that is especially useful in the application of impermanence," Elandia explained. In a sense, it can be called the precondition of power, and I think understanding this background will make you more motivated to learn."

Gongsun Ce didn't know much about authority, so he didn't feel much motivation to learn, but Miss Huanyuezun next door immediately stared at him: "Can such a rotten thing like symbolism help to practice authority! "

"Hey, I thought I was going to learn the secret of creating a world without passing it on, but you have stretched my expectations to 100 articles on life practical skills of impermanence."

"It's alright, you really think it's a high-end thing." Shigure Ling curled his lips, "Do you remember the ritual Izumo Rina used when summoning the mirror girl's room?"

Gongsun Ce withheld it from his memory for a long time, and remembered what his senior sister did at that time.Rina once laid a layer of white paper on the stone steps, put a mirror on it, put offerings in front of the mirror, and then used the white paper to draw a Shimenawa to create a simple altar. called out.

Logically speaking, this ceremony has nothing to do with her impermanence, it is a point worth studying, but after that, there is the unforgettable scene of Shiyu Shiqiqi's surprise attack and Huanyue Zun's finger being sucked, which caused Gongsun Ce to criticize the previous operation. I have no impression...

"The one used by the senior sister is a symbolic technique? What is the principle of this?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, layman. Quickly reproduce those things with white matter, and make a small shrine."

Gongsun Ce did as he said, and made a miniature model of the shrine on the table that restored the way of worship, and made mirrors, stone steps, white paper and Shimenawa.Ms. Shi Yu, who is eager to popularize science, grabbed the white mirror and explained one by one.

"The ritual of witches offering sacrifices to the gods can only be completed in the special environment of the shrine. In the shrine, there are main halls, gods, money boxes, and shimenawa ropes that distinguish the gods. The gods enshrined here can communicate with the witches. Complete the ceremony." Shigure Rei pointed at the micro-sculpture of the shrine with his fingertips, and then pointed to the other small props, "But Rina Izumo was outside at the time, let alone the shrine, and she didn't even have a coin on hand. How did she summon the gods? ?”

Gongsun Ce scratched his head: "She built a fake shrine with these things?"

"Young man, you are very enlightened. The mirror that haunts the mirror woman's room can be regarded as a substitute for the god statue; the stone steps covered with white paper have a shape similar to the main hall; the shimenawa rope pulled up at the entrance of the alley can also be used to distinguish A symbol of the inside and outside." Shigure Zero scratched the circle of small things with his hand, "The conditions are here, and this is another shrine where ceremonies can be held."

Qin Qianbai didn't understand: "But Ms. Rina just used these things to create an environment similar to a shrine. They are still mirrors, stones and paper in essence."

"Why do they have to be exactly the same?" Shi Yu Ling smirked, "It's enough to have similarities!"

The others looked at Elandia suspiciously as she was writing new titles on the whiteboard.

Symbolism: similar = same.

"Ah?" Gongsun Ce said.

"This is the core point of symbolism, and it is also the phenomenon that Miss Yu explained in the example just now. Mirrors, stones, and paper appear to exist in isolation, but when they are combined in a specific form, they It is possible to express the non-existent information of 'shrine'. This is because they have become the 'symbols' of the shrine, and the dominant information is confused by impermanence, making similarity become the same."

"Thank you Elandia, I'm even more confused."

"Let's give another example, starting from the previous meme idea." Elandia adjusted her hat, "Ce, if you want to construct a spell that uses 'solar system' as an expression..."

"I'm pretty sure I'm not that capable." Gongsun Ce said sincerely.

"Just an example, what would you do?"

Gongsun Ce stretched out his hand and gestured: "It's like the way I developed Duxiangyin before. I'll first find a suitable meme idea - home or cradle, I don't know, I think the information that this thing can bear is too complicated - and then I make a solar system..."

"How do you make a solar system?" Elandia asked.

"I will definitely make a small one out of white matter..." Gongsun Ce began to think in the middle of his speech, "Yes, I will definitely make a mini version, just like this one..."

He tapped casually and made a miniature galaxy model on the table.Those white spheres form a clear "galaxy", but they are just white spheres individually.

Qiluo was eating fruit at this time, Elandia took the fruit plate from her hand and picked up an orange.She replaced the "sun" in the center with an orange.

"now what?"

Qi Luo grabbed a half-eaten fruit and said blankly, "I think it looks more like it. Look, it's yellow."

"So we can even use a fruit plate to make a small solar system?" Gongsun Ce scratched his head, "From a single point of view, they are just fruits, but overall they can indeed express this information, and the expression effect is better than that directly made with white matter. Even more 'strong'."

Such a similar structure can undoubtedly be used as the carrier of the meme's mind, and its effect in expressing complex concepts may be far beyond simple reproduction.Just as it is recorded in the ancient books of the empire that Feng Shui masters used houses to outline auspicious animal figures, people in the houses can enjoy good luck and peace.If those Feng Shui masters are impermanent, then they can really make the similarity change into the same.

"This is the role of symbolism, to express more complex information in a more concise and efficient way." Elandia nodded, "Now please answer my question, how to express the concept of 'wisdom'?"

"Let me think about it..." Gongsun Ce racked his brains, "Wisdom is a difficult thing to generalize. It is not as clear as loneliness. So we can explain it from various aspects. It can be 'knowledge' or 'sensitivity' , it is 'foresight', it is 'answering questions', and it can even be 'high emotional intelligence'..."

While talking, Gongsun Ce suddenly realized: "Can I take the results of these decompositions as 'fruits' and use them to spell the solar system of 'wisdom'?"

"Start from this train of thought to create a mind-armed weapon, and you will be able to get the 'Wisdom Staff' of Lord Roningles." Elandia smiled at him, "But this is still too far away from the current you, you can Thinking about how to use symbolism to mend the foul chalice."

"Is this also the reason for the wonderful use of the world's honorable name mentioned earlier?" Gongsun Ce's mind was wide open, "I gave a clear and powerful description of a world-creating law envoy through the honorable name, and the object I described I have achieved a symbolic effect on the creation of the world, and I can descend into a god...Damn it, isn't this the trick that my senior sister used when she was playing Sakura Dance!"

During the Battle of Ashihara Castle, Rina used rituals and spells to summon Izu Nobu's descendant, which provided assistance for the decisive battle.Now it seems that this is basically an advanced application of power. Gongsun Ce faintly hallucinated the little fox senior sister who was far away and smiled badly. He waved his hands and said, Xiao Ce, you are still far behind...

"The spirit séance also utilizes the similarity between the two parties in essence, so it is a high-level symbolic art." Dawn Knight explained, "But please note that only the creation magician who has the constant principle can act as a magician." Objects that are 'symbolic', so you can't use this method."

Gongsun Ce put the hunter's shoulders on his shoulders, and said with emotion: "Damn it, we two are not as good at creating the world as our senior sister is."

"Don't drag me into the water if you are ignorant..."

Shigure Zero didn't know what to think of, his eyes changed.

"Hey, Dawn Knight." She changed her tone, "We've been talking about items and humans, what about actions?"

Gongsun Ce also thought of it at this time: "Can the similarity in action be used as a symbolic spell?"

"Of course, it can." Elandia's expression remained unchanged, "Are there any other questions?"

Everyone said that there was no problem, so Dawn Knight announced that get out of class.Gongsun Ce and Shi Yuling walked away thoughtfully, and Qi Luo went to surf the Internet.Qin Qianbai was in no hurry to leave, she waited for everyone to walk out of the bridge before asking questions to the Dawn Knight who stayed behind to clean the whiteboard.

"Miss Elandia, I have a personal question."

"Please tell me, Miss Qin."

"How strong is the magician who has entered the body with constant principles?" Qin Qianbai asked seriously.

Dawn Knight didn't answer immediately.She wiped the whiteboard clean first, motioned for Qin Qianbai to sit down on the sofa, and poured her a cup of black tea.After doing all this, Elandia sat back in her seat. Qin Qianbai looked at her for a moment, and suddenly felt uneasy. Those gray eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, making all secrets invisible.

"If you need, Miss Qin." Elandia said, "I can make a detailed list for you, including my personal evaluation of all the world-class combat powers. There are champions in that list, and there are Mingke , There is also a strategy. I can provide you with the simulated battle process and estimated winning rate between them and each of the Genesis Envoys, so as to provide you with a reference for judging their strength."

Qin Qianbai said in astonishment: "I didn't..."

"We can start now." Elandia's gaze was unwavering, "As long as you need."

The temperature of the air conditioner isolated the heat from the outside, and the temperature inside the Venus was suitable, but Qin Qianbai felt a chill in his heart.The friendly and wise female knight looked like an emotionless machine at the moment. Her responses contained no personal opinions but only objective conclusions, like a question-and-answer machine that was always correct.

The beautiful woman gradually alienated in her eyes, like a pure white steel figure.She knew that the other party had already lost his strength, but her intuition told her that this knight could really do what she said.As long as Qin Qianbai opens her mouth, she can know everything she desires in the simplest way.

As long as she asks the machine questions.

"...No." Qin Qianbai said with difficulty, "I don't need it."

Only then did she realize that her back was drenched in cold sweat, and the conversation for just a few seconds made her feel a fear that had never appeared in a life-and-death battle.She panted slightly for a few seconds, took a sip of black tea, and calmed down the coldness in her heart.

"Miss Qin, you are a self-reliant and tough warrior, but also a sensitive and slender girl." Dawn Knight said, "Your keen insight and intuition have allowed you to make rapid progress in the realm of martial arts, but at the same time it has brought you difficulties. You can easily perceive the essence of others and understand their thoughts, so you are easily influenced by others. This is the driving force that pushes you forward, and it is also the obstacle that makes you hesitate."

Holding the teacup, Qin Qianbai felt a little downcast: "I don't want to be a warrior who doesn't care about others."

"Beware of going too far." Elandia pointed out, "I skipped the content you were curious about during the class, because knowing the strength of others is not beneficial to your own practice. Even if I describe the final state in detail for you Strength, you can't gain comprehension because of it, but it is easy to affect your own state, which is obviously meaningless."

Qin Qianbai felt the coldness in his heart gradually dissipate after drinking the hot tea.The discomfort caused by the imagination disappeared without a trace, and the female knight across the table was as usual.Calm, friendly, honest, and has nothing to do with machines.

"Too many distracting thoughts lead to useless thinking. My mind is disturbed." Qin Qianbai put down his teacup, "Thank you for your warning, Dawn Knight."

"Cultivation is my own business." Elandia encouraged, "I wish you success."

They chatted about some things that had nothing to do with practice, and then Qin Qianbai left from the bridge and went back to his room to meditate.A few seconds later, another door opened, and Gongsun Ce sneaked in, holding an apple in his hand.

"Look how you still scare other little girls."

"I don't think I'm scary." Dawn Knight said with a stern look.

Gongsun Ce sat down on the sofa: "No, you are sometimes scary to death. When I was next to you, I used to tell jokes to tease you because you are like a cold prickly ball when you are not smiling. Go into someone else's heart."

"now what?"

"Now I have developed emotional intelligence from scratch, and I am concerned about other people's feelings when I speak. I am already a perfect female knight. Four years ago, I had already started planning how to chase you." Gongsun Ce raised his hands, "Don't Tell me, I’ll just make a joke, why do you think she’s upset?”

Elandia said with absolute certainty: "She rarely loses."

"I think so. Missy is a person who has to win all the way."

While speaking, Gongsun Ce peeled the apples with his mind power, cut the apples into pieces, put them on a plate, and handed them to the Dawn Knight who was working hard in class.After finishing these, he left the bridge, walked to the door of Qin Qianbai's room, quietly pushed the door open, and looked into the room like a voyeur.

Qin Qianbai sat cross-legged on the bed, and said expressionlessly, "A Ce, you look like a pervert."

"Jie Jie, I came to break into the girls' dormitory single-handedly and destroy your cultivation!"

Gongsun Ce smiled proudly, climbed onto the bed and sat down behind the girl, wrapping her like a coat: "Watch animation or play games?"

"Look at the borderline animation!"

"Hey, your interest is a little high!"

·
Gongsun Ce hugged the limp young lady and acted as a human cushion for two hours.He thought to himself that this should be a rather novel experience, after all, few girls would be willing to watch borderline animations with their boyfriends, and they seemed more interested than men.

"The key scenes of this animation are of surprisingly high quality."

"Yes, Mr. Gongsun, I have worked very hard."

"Actually, it has no effect at all." Qin Qianbai looked at him contemptuously.

"People can't get along with themselves, okay?" Gongsun Ce fiddled with her earlobe, and the girl's ears were a little red, "Do you remember watching animation with me when you first came to the capital of the sky, and asked you what you want to see? Unmistakably selected several classic fringes."

"Ah Ce, you actually let girls see this kind of thing at that time, it's really disgusting. You must have opened the restricted animation inadvertently to attract ignorant girls to watch, and took the opportunity to attack her when she was overwhelmed by shyness and curiosity. It's a poor calculation."

"The success rate of hypnosis with coins sounds ten times higher than this plan."

Qin Qianbai waved his fist and said excitedly, "It's called, Three-Dimensional Side-Ball Combat!"

"When you put together the words three-dimensional and borderline, this battle has become a joke!"

The animation on the screen entered the stage of the ending song. Gongsun Ce turned off the animation, moved the computer aside with telekinetic power, and lay down on the bed with the girl in his arms.

"I'm a little surprised." Qin Qianbai said, "A Ce didn't take advantage of the maneuver to move his feet."

"Touching your girlfriend is no longer called touching your hands and feet." Gongsun Ce poked her forehead, "I'm just kidding, let me accompany you to decompress. When you are unhappy, watching animation will make you feel better."

"A kiss will make you feel better."

"Okay."

When kissing her, Gongsun Ce thought to himself, Missy sometimes thinks a lot, and sometimes she is too naive.She will get into trouble because of many factors, but she will also be happy because of things that seem insignificant to others.For example, watching animation, playing games, or going out for a walk with a poor neighbor.She is undoubtedly a weird person like this, but fortunately there are many weird people on board, not one of them is missing.

"Toot, toot, Qin Qianbai's energy has fully recovered."

"Don't learn the bgm of the hotel, okay? I laughed out loud!"

The girl got up from the bed, flicked her long hair chicly, and announced: "The devil is gone, I want to continue practicing Zen."

"Okay, okay, remember to come and help the devil cook at noon."

Gongsun Ce rubbed her head, flew upside down from the room, and floated towards his own room.

Today's lunch on the Venus Star is very sumptuous, perhaps because the chefs' moods have improved a lot.
