Background / History
Before its release, the Magic Phone’s application-development tutorial was locked behind the requirement that five applications be unlocked. Luo Chuan criticized the System for placing prerequisites on the feature. 395
The Magic Phone went on sale at the Origin Mall for 100 Spirit Crystals. Its initial software consisted only of App Store and Settings, with the App Store completely empty. Luo Chuan spent 100,000 Spirit Crystals on an application lottery and obtained Origin Forum, becoming the first recorded user, identified in Settings as “NO.1.” 399 400
Early customers Ji Wuhui and Elder Bai immediately recognized its potential despite not understanding its technological principles or finding any Spiritual Energy fluctuations within it. They believed its appearance could change the Tianlan Continent. 403
As its user base expanded, the Magic Phone became a network for customers across the continent to exchange updates, form group chats, share news, and discuss Origin Mall products. Its accessibility was demonstrated when the Royal Family of Beasts learned to use it without difficulty. 513 686
New applications gradually transformed it beyond a forum device, adding reading, live broadcasts, games, community functions, and user-created software. Luo Chuan eventually released a free but difficult application-development tutorial, allowing customers to study the creation process themselves. 757 1136 1229
The Magic Phone later spread beyond the Tianlan Continent. Shadow Dwellers adopted it in the Shadow Realm, while Hearthstone Tavern began selling it in Kolo, allowing local customers to access information and communities connected to the Outsiders’ world. 1634 2579 2686 2687
Appearance
The Magic Phone is a palm-sized, seamless crystal-like device. Its material and construction cannot be understood through conventional spiritual or magical analysis. 403 990 2700
- Often compared to a flawless piece of Glazed Glass, crystal, or warm jade. 399 403 903
- Has a smooth, warm surface and no visible seams. 399 1351
- Appears as a small transparent or deep-blue crystalline block, roughly as thick as a thin book. 2679
- Displays information directly on its surface through an adaptive screen interface. 2679
Abilities & Skills
Intelligent Thought Interface
The Magic Phone synchronizes with a user’s thoughts, spirit, and mental fluctuations. It can infer intent and present information, controls, tutorials, or search results in the format most suitable to that user. 1726 2345 2679
- Opens relevant applications when the user focuses on their icons. 1535
- Can sort information automatically when a user wishes to search for a subject. 2345
- Adjusts how information is displayed so users are not overwhelmed by large volumes of content. 1351
- Can hide obstructive bullet comments when it detects that the user wants an unobstructed view. 1645
- Provides tutorials when requested, though it may determine that a tutorial is unnecessary due to its thought synchronization. 2679
- Its intelligence is described as at least comparable to that of its user; some users interpret it as a mechanical lifeform rather than a simple tool. 1535 2679
Communication & Information Network
Magic Phones allow users to communicate and exchange information regardless of distance. Their communication is transmitted through the world’s underlying information, avoiding ordinary concerns such as signal loss or energy depletion. 1104 1421
- Supports posts, updates, comments, follows, and group chats. 400 513 686
- Allows users to share and view events occurring far away without leaving home. 2687

- Connects users from different races, regions, and worlds, including Tianlan Continent, the Shadow Realm, and Kolo. 686 2579 2686
- Can remain usable even when its owner is in the Consciousness Realm, due to its connection with the user’s spirit and soul. 2807

Application Development

- The tutorial is freely downloadable through the Magic Phone. 1229
- Its creation method uses a specialized language of inscriptions with explanatory annotations. 1229
- Ordinary people can initially learn the system, but its deeper principles remain difficult even for Formation Masters. 1229
- Application names default to the “Origin” prefix, though the System states that these names can be changed. 1037
Owner Binding & Recovery
Each Magic Phone is bound to its owner’s identity and includes spatial positioning. If lost, it can return or teleport directly back to its owner. 448 1350
- Origin Mall rules restrict each person to purchasing one Magic Phone. 448
- The owner-binding system prevents ordinary loss from permanently separating a user from their device. 448

Durability
The Magic Phone is extraordinarily resilient despite its glass-like appearance. 448 2679
- Fireproof and waterproof. 1350
- Ordinary weapons cannot damage it; Luo Chuan’s tests found that only psionic-energy weapons could inflict damage. 448
- A Venerable’s attack was unable to damage it, while the attacker’s weapon was dented instead. 1071 1350
- Its durability allows users to drop it without visible harm. 1350 2679
