40,000 years ago, the "Eye of All Worlds" Eltaran, who was defeated in the Divine War, fell into the astral realm like a burning fireball, and when the divine power burned out, her corpse combined with the fragments of the divine kingdom and transformed into a cold star, which is the "silver sky" in front of Roland at this moment.
Most of the remaining divine power in Eltaran has been bred into a large teleportation array that inhabits the upper part of the silver sky, and most of the remaining divine power is combined with minerals to transform into magic crystal ore, and there is still some slight divine power left, which has not yet been transformed into magic crystals, scattered in the depths of the earth in a semi-free state, if left alone, after hundreds of years of fusion, all of them will be transformed into magic crystal ore, that is to say, this semi-free state of divine power is the limit of the expected reserves of magic crystals in the silver sky mining area.
"The potential fluctuations you feel are actually the remnants of Eltaran's divine power," Sputnia told Roland, "and potential is similar to divine power in many ways, but not as powerful and pure as the latter, and divine power can indeed be transformed into potential." ” "Then can I absorb the divine power of Eltaran, the Eye of All Worlds, in the same way that I absorb potential?"
asked Putnia.
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Eltaran was a medium god in his lifetime, and after his death, the corpse evolved into a silver sky, and the residual divine power has been minimal, but the transformation potential is considerable, Roland made a simple calculation with the help of the system, just absorbing the divine power free in the mine layer can give him at least 30 degrees of potential, which is equivalent to an unidentified high-level artifact.
"It is impossible to directly seize the divine power, even the true god is difficult to do, El Taran can blow up the divine power to smash the remains, and at the same time release a terrifying curse, the dead god is still a god, and its final curse is also a great threat to the true god, otherwise her divinity would have been taken away long ago, and the silver sky would have long ceased to exist."
Sputnia's answer disappointed Roland, who shrugged helplessly: "It seems that there is no advantage to take advantage of, empty rejoicing." ” "That's not necessarily, divine energy can be transformed into potential after dilution, just like divine power combined with minerals can be transformed into magic crystals, Eltaran doesn't care about those miners digging magic crystals in her body, it stands to reason that they won't care if you absorb potential, if you only absorb a little bit" Sputnia hesitated for a moment, as if she felt that the risk was too great, and swallowed the second half of the words to change her attitude: "You'd better not take the risk of trying, if Eltaran is a grumpy guy, maybe he will attack immediately." ” The fact that gods can be killed seems to contradict the law of "immortality," but it is not.
Just like a hero's death on the battlefield, it is an indisputable death in a biological sense, but his spirit, his achievements, and his words and deeds during his lifetime may be passed on to future generations, making "his name" immortal in another sense.
The so-called "divine immortality" is actually such a kind of spiritual and will-based immortality.
However, just as time can dilute the memory of heroes for future generations, it is possible to bury the truth of history.
If a god loses his priesthood, even if he has an immortal divinity, he will not be able to produce divine power, just like those heroes who have been slandered by later generations, can they still crawl out of the coffin to punish the rumor-monger An old man who has lost his official position, and how can he be as good as before It is natural that he has no strength and can only rely on others to protect his own interests, the reputation of heroes needs to be maintained by future worshippers, and the elders who have lost their power need to use their protégés and relatives and friends to maintain their influence, which is very natural, similar to the fact that a fallen god has been deprived of her priesthood and can no longer obtain a steady stream of divine power, then she can only rely on devout believers to help her rise like Oleg did for Mokesh.
So is there still a devout believer in El Talan's Silver Sky?
"If she still has a devout following, how can she tolerate miners making holes in their idols at will, and doing so for at least a thousand years?"
Roland asked Sputnia.
Sputnia scratched her head and replied helplessly: "I have to admit that the possibility of Eltaran attacking you is very small, and the great benefits you can get from her, considering the comparison of risks and benefits, I agree with you to give it a try, but pay attention to the fact that the other party must still retain some divine power, otherwise it is impossible to continue to produce magic crystal ore, you must beware of her using these residual divine powers against you" "Don't worry, I won't mess around."
Roland didn't put Sputnia in the tamer bracelet and let her follow him, so that if he sensed that the situation was not good, he could immediately teleport away from the silver sky to avoid Eltaran's attack.
Roland observed the distance between himself and the silver sky, adjusted the direction of gravity and flew to the nearest floating pipe.
Looking at the pipes used to transport the minecarts from a distance, they look like slender spider silk, only to find out that they are actually open grooves with a wide diameter, along which they have been abandoned for many years, and Roland imagines gravity pointing in front of him, sliding into the depths of the pit in a manner similar to "falling".
The astral plane is a "subjective gravitational plane", which means that gravity can change direction at any time according to human imagination.
If you imagine that gravity is pointing at your feet, you will continue to fall downward, or if you stand steadily on a solid surface, if you imagine that gravity is pointing overhead, then you will fly into the air, or fall upwards; Using this wonderful imagination, people can move freely in the astral plane, and if they want to stand still in the sky, it is easy to imagine that the lines of gravity are pointing inside themselves or radiating evenly from the body to the outside.
Roland also discovered that the Astral Traveler can only change the direction of gravity, and the strength of gravity is always the same as that of the main material plane, and gravity does not allow people to continue to accelerate.
The normally invisible and untouchable star will cause constant resistance to the high-speed moving object, like an invisible buffer, so that it will eventually reach equilibrium at a speed of 50 feet per second, and then maintain a uniform motion. 50 feet per second is equivalent to a speed of 33 knots, which is the standard speed for all vehicles traveling through the astral plane, which is the so-called "first astral speed".
Thirty-three knots is fast for a ship in the sea, but traveling in the boundless astral realm is far from enough.
Therefore, those astral warships equipped with magic crystal engines can turn on their engines to increase their sailing speed when necessary, and as for those powerful warships from mysterious civilizations, they can even teleport the entire ship, which is what the astral navigators call "migration", because each migration consumes a large number of magic crystals to obtain sufficient energy, and the high cost forces the captain to give the order to move only when he is forced to do so.
In contrast, people are more willing to borrow a device like the "Silver Sky Teleportation Array" to cross the vast sea of stars for free.
Following the directions, Roland reached the depths of an abandoned mine and stopped at a place where the potential was particularly strong.
He didn't immediately absorb the potential, and first took out a scroll 5-ring prophecy spell "Otherworldly Exploration" from the storage bag
