Studying Science in the Alternate World

Chapter 388 The Wheel of the Times

 After the completion of the Emerald Dream, the Age of Dharma Ending also began.

 The spring of spirituality no longer emits spiritual particles, and everything built on spiritual particles is slowly declining.

“The planet is mutating and the world is decaying... In order to save the fate of the multi-ringed planet, the only way is to strip away the existence of spiritual arcana..."

Duke made his final speech as the Speaker in the floating city of Arcane: "From now on, the arcane spirituality will completely dissipate. Among the three seas, the spiritual sea and the air sea will never be opened again. Only Blood Sea can continue to practice."

 This speech shocked the entire Seven Towers Federation.

 Fortunately, although the Age of Ending Law has begun, the stars have already refined the fragments of their godhead and still hold the power in the secular world.

 Coupled with the changes in the multi-ringed planet over the years and the positive guidance of the Internet, the people quickly calmed down.

"The Dongwei spiritual era has passed..." Duke's voice was low. He created the Dongwei spiritual era, but in the end, he needed to end it himself. "In this new era of apocalypse, the Seven Towers Federation will enter a new era. track."

For the new track, the top management of the Seven Towers Federation has already planned a smooth and orderly handover.

 Duke briefly elaborated on the important contents.

Then at the end of his speech, he said calmly: "I failed to completely reverse the situation at the most critical moment of the multi-ring planet and could only adopt the last resort in the end of the law. It was my dereliction of duty as Duke... From now on, I will step down from the Council of Stars. Speaker position.”

 Not only will he step down as Speaker, but the Conference of the Stars will also be closed.

Then those arcane mages who are too old will step down from their posts one by one and go home to retire and wait for the end of their lives.

All government affairs of the entire Seven Towers Federation will be gradually handed over to knights and ordinary people in the following decades of the End of Law.

 Arcane Mage and Qi Refiner will both become the swan song of the era.

Only the way of knights has risen from the legend of the island where knights originated, and continues to the future after the End of Law, without interruption.

at last.

Facing the camera, Duke solemnly said: "But everyone, please believe that tomorrow, the sun will still rise as usual, and our lives will continue! In the days without spiritual magic, there is no need to despair, new beauty is about to come!"

 This is Duke’s sincere emotion.

The spiritual arcana of the multi-ringed planet in the past was indeed prosperous and transcendent, but after all, it was just a dream of the goddess Nyx.

 Looks like blooming flowers, but is actually in decay.

But once Duke refines the fragments of the godhead and peels off the spiritual arcana, the astral wind layer will also dissipate. Then the sun will truly shine into the multi-ring planet, and all the physical laws based on the universe and starry sky will return to this planet.

"The electromagnetic waves that disappeared...will come back again." Duke looked at the camera lens that had turned off the red light and shook his head slightly.

 After the end of the Dharma Ending Age, multi-ring planets may follow the same path as the Earth.

but.

 After all, the bloodline power of the sacred ancient dragon was left behind, leaving a glimmer of hope for extraordinary practice on the multi-ringed planet.

 Back in the Stars Conference Room, Duke once again convened all the stars for a meeting.

“I believe you can handle the matter of how to securely hand over the Seven Towers Federation in the secular world. The research project on spiritual arcana in the Emerald Dream cannot be stopped. The Windbreaker may no longer be useful, but the spaceship still needs to be developed.”

Duke sat at the head of the large round table and said calmly: "The Emerald Dream has an obligation to guide the power of the secular world to explore outer space..."

Sooner or later, civilizations on multi-ring planets will enter the interstellar era.

Just like the goddess Nyx left her native planet to find a future path in the universe, multi-ring planets also need to find new habitats, whether to deal with possible crises or the expansion of civilization.

“As for you, please stand for the last post among the stars.”

 “The meeting is dismissed!”

Duke said no more and simply dispersed.

The stars also followed the planned plan to guide the Seven Towers Federation to derail the spiritual arcane law in the end of the Dharma era.

 In this regard, it is natural to arrange for the descendants of one's own bloodline who have the talent of knights to occupy the core position of the Seven Towers Federation. Even Duke is not immune. Among his descendants, all those with knight talents have entered key positions.

 The Era of the End of Law is a plan to deal with crises, and it is also a gluttonous feast to divide interests.

 …

Hang, bang, bang, woo!

The coal-burning train started slowly on the track, and the onlookers cheered enthusiastically, celebrating the birth of a vehicle that does not require psychic power and only needs to boil water.

Beside this railway track, there were several broken sound tube train frames, casually abandoned on the roadside.

 After the spiritual energy is exhausted, all means of transportation driven by spiritual particles can no longer be used.

so.

In the past, the sound tube train that allowed the Seven Towers Federation to commute across the continent 24 hours a day was quickly eliminated by the times. All the valuable parts were removed, and the remaining frames that could not be removed also became a pile of waste due to the loss of spirituality. Randomly abandoned.

“Oh, this speed is really slow.” Among the cheering crowd, an old man sighed and squeezed out of the crowd.

 He used to be a level 3 arcane mage.

He was also considered a high-ranking and important figure in the local city. However, as his spirituality faded, he gradually became unable to release arcane magic and could not even maintain his body functions. He regressed into an old man in his eighties.

 Naturally, he also withdrew from leadership positions.

 Fortunately, the Seven Towers Federation still has the support of the stars. No one dares to be disrespectful to these arcane mages who have lost their cultivation, and they still support them with good welfare benefits.

"It has only been more than ten years, and everything has changed. Sage Duke, is the age of Dongwei spirituality really gone forever?" After the old man left the crowd, he sadly walked to a small river and looked at it. The gurgling water shed muddy tears.

 For all the high-ranking arcane mages in the past.

 This day, things have changed.

"The old man, perhaps as people say privately, is the remnant of the previous era... If you don't want to see the changes in the end of the law... Now you can see that without the arcane mage, everyone is still living well... The old Linus , I have really become an old man!"

 There is no chaos in the Seven Towers Federation. Although there have been major changes in the way of life, people are still living well.

It can be said.

 Duke really saved the world.

 However, for the old man, his world had ended in Duke’s federal-wide speech a few years ago.

“Linus’s mage tower was knocked down a long time ago, and the old man died a long time ago. It’s just that he is buried in the ground now.” The old man Linus shook his head and gave an inexplicable bitter smile.

Then he took steps and jumped into the river without hesitation.

 Hurrah, hurrah…

 The sound of water for a moment did not disturb anyone, and was soon drowned in the whine of the train whistle.

The wheels of time rolled by slowly, and it was not until a long time later that someone found the old man’s body in a muddy puddle at a bend in the river.

Several children were screaming, which attracted the security patrol.

A knight officer briefly asked a few questions and then left in a hurry. He had no intention of caring about whether the body was a suicide or a homicide.

 The atmosphere in the city is getting more and more tense.

Several knight families have already taken sides, and even ordinary knights like him are not immune to making choices. "Oh, the stars are still there, why are they suddenly breaking away from the Seven Towers Federation and establishing a democratic country?" The knight returned to his security post, frowning and thinking, in the current situation, he should side with the Seven Towers Federation. , or on the side of the democratic country that is about to be established.

 Suddenly.

His eyes saw the scenery outside the window. Not far away, there was a ruined building.

"Well, that's... Linus Mage Tower. Alas, after the end of the spiritual age, without spiritual support, these mage towers have become dangerous buildings and can only be demolished... I still remember that every time I passed by Linus Mage when I was patrolling, Tower, you have to look up..."

Thinking of this, the knight suddenly knew how to choose.

 The mage tower representing the Seven Towers Federation has collapsed.

 It’s time for him to cut himself off from the past.

Grabbing the phone on the table, the knight was about to call his old leader to surrender, but suddenly paused: "This phone seems to have been invented by the Emerald Dream... Oh, forget it, it's hard to tell the truth from the Emerald Dream. , it’s better to look at what’s in front of you!”

The knight no longer hesitated and made a phone call directly, telling the old leader that he would definitely support the establishment of a democratic country.

 Half a month later.

 All parts of the Seven Towers Federation received a federation-wide power supply.

"Sincerely inform all citizens: Hearthstone City, Oasis City, Wanxia City, Xiangyun City... a total of sixteen cities in the natural domain have officially separated from the Seven Towers Federation and established the Natural Democratic Republic. At the beginning of the founding of the country, we are willing to establish diplomatic relations with the Seven Towers Federation. Let’s share what we have!”

 It seems to be a beginning.

In the following months, many regions and cities responded to the Natural Democratic Republic and separated from the Seven Towers Federation and became independent.

The Seven Towers Federation was indifferent to this, and the stars did not show up to stop it.

As a result, the power of a prairie fire arose, and the Seven Towers Federation, which had unified the Wild Continent in the past, soon fell apart and returned to their own affairs.

“Oh, I really don’t want to see this scene. Under the leadership of Mr. Thersus, we unified the Wilderness Continent with such high spirits!” Elaine of the Stars looked at the intelligence gathered and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

 Another Qunxing beside him said calmly: "The Federation of Seven Towers was founded on spiritual arcana, and it will naturally be dispersed on spiritual arcana. All of this is expected, so why should we lament about it."

“That’s what I said, but if it really comes to this, forget it, you are not an old man from the Seven Towers Federation, you don’t understand.”

“I really don’t understand, but Sir Duke has informed me that the world fusion is about to take place, so we have to keep an eye on it carefully to avoid any major mistakes.”

 “Don’t worry, I know the importance of this.”

 Without the support of spiritual arcana, the multi-ring world will naturally no longer be able to maintain its multi-ring structure. In the following time, Duke will use the Earth Star Wild Continent as the center to separate the origins of several other continents. Then it turned into several smaller continents and was patched together in the ocean of earth and stars.

 Create a brand new planet—Earth Star.

By the time this step is completed, Duke will be able to almost completely refine his godhead, allowing Earth Star to emerge smoothly from the Age of Ending Law.

 What kind of new era it will become in the future will be decided by the people of Earth and Star.

And all of this is going on quietly. The people of the fragmented and wild continent do not know that beyond the Great Western Sea, the Great East Sea, the Great North Sea, and the Great South China Sea, the endless storm has dissipated and new land is rising.

 Other than frequent tsunamis, the land-building movement did not cause any waves.

On the Wilderness Continent, the spiritual arcana was completely stripped away. The floating city and the mage tower collapsed. The sound tube train and airship were demolished. Towers such as the Secret Trust Tower and the Union Tower were also torn down. Even countless towering ancient trees died in the forest. , fell down.

Without spiritual support, trees can no longer resist gravity. Trees over 100 meters tall will basically fall down at a touch.

It can be said.

 Across the entire Wilderness Continent, materials science fell into the abyss.

The bloodlines of those high-level spiritual beasts are constantly regressing, and their bodies are no longer huge, but have shrunk to become smaller, or even died directly.

Of course, low-level spiritual beasts are lucky enough to have the support of the bloodline of the sacred ancient dragon and still maintain their basic spirituality.

However, the arcane magic cannot be used, and one can only rely on his physical strength to fight against the human knights.

 The storm calendar year 4458.

Duke is one hundred and sixty-two years old this year. During the decades since the beginning of the Age of Ending Law, he has spent most of his time refining his godhead in the sea of ​​true spirituality, and a small part of his time has been spent accompanying his wife and children.

this day.

 After a hearty battle with my wives, I was listening to the radio comfortably.

This is not the Emerald Dream, but a mortal island near the Emerald Dream, where Duke and his wives have their palace.

At this moment, international news is being played on the radio: "Today, the Eighteen Cities of Whale Song Mirror Lake officially announced that they will change their flag. They will no longer use the Seven Towers Federation as their country name and change it to the Mirror Lake Federal Republic... This marks the behemoth Seven Towers of the spiritual age. The Federation has truly become a thing of the past..."

“There is no last supporter of the Seven Towers Federation.” After hearing this, Duke felt a little disinterested.

"Duke, I want to go back to Mirror Mirror Lake." Agnes Ice Crown said quietly while she was in his arms, "I mean, if I settle there, I will never return to the Emerald Dream."

 “Yanice…”

“Don’t try to persuade me, Duke, I’m almost one hundred and eighty years old. Ever since I smuggled myself into a 4th-ring Occult Mage, I knew this day would come soon.”

 “I can take action…”

 Duke is already a **** and has inherited everything from the goddess Nyx. It is easy to change his fate against the will of heaven.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Agnes Ice Crown: "No, didn't we agree that we can live as long as we can? Anyway, we have already made more money than many people outside... Moreover, I have been very good in these years." Be happy, this life is worth it.”

 Speaking, Agnes Ice Crown recalled the time when she met the young Duke in a salon in the Holy City of Offa.

 I was immediately attracted to Duke.

Since then, she gave birth to three sons and two daughters for Duke, and the children have started families and started businesses to continue the bloodline. It can be said that she has no regrets in her life.

"That's right." Agnes Ice Crown suddenly remembered something, "After I go to settle in Whale Mirror Lake, you don't have to come to see me off. I don't want you to see me getting old and ugly... Let my children and grandchildren come over. Just give it to me."

 After a long time, Duke nodded slowly: "Okay."

 “It’s nice to meet you…” Agnes Ice Crown stretched out her hand and stroked Duke’s face, which had hardly been changed by the years.

“Actually, it’s not good. You know I’m very carefree.” Duke forced a smile.

 “I’m happy, that’s enough.”

 The next day, Agnes Ice Crown packed up her things, took Duke's exclusive wall-breaking ship, and went to settle in the cities around Whale Song Mirror Lake.

 About half a year later, Duke received the news.

Agnes Icecrown died suddenly at the age of one hundred and seventy-three, surrounded by her children and grandchildren. She was thirteen years older than Duke. For a 4-ring spiritual mage, this age is almost the limit.

"Yannis is gone, and my wives don't have much time to accompany me..." Duke did not go to see Yannis Ice Crown off for the last time as promised.

but.

But he asked the children to bring back the ashes of Agnes Ice Crown and put them into their own starry sky.

 When he explores the universe and the stars in the future, he will also take his ashes with him.

“Perhaps I will die in a dangerous place somewhere in the universe, but with the ashes of my wives accompanying me, I probably won’t be lonely.”
