night.
The dining table was quiet.
Ever since Reilo decided to persist in his research on <Starry Sky Academic>, Gubo's mood has not been very good these past few days.
It's a regret that feels like a bittersweet gain.
Although from a personal perspective
Gubo was inevitably annoyed that Reilo refused to inherit his research on " Ancestral Clone," believing that Reilo was ungrateful.
However, from the mentor's perspective, the disciple has higher ideals and aspirations, and is eager to surpass himself, but he is also bound to develop some pride, which is completely different from Shatuo's passive acceptance of his fate.
To earn someone's respect, you must first become their rival!
Amidst these extremely complex emotions, Gubo's understanding of Reilo also underwent some changes without him realizing it.
He no longer simply regarded Reilo as his disciple, but as a scholar with independent thinking who was gradually beginning to realize his self-worth!
"What exactly is the meaning behind your title 'Eye of the Sun '?"
Sudden.
Gubo broke the silence at the dining table.
Without blaming anyone, Gubo asked quite calmly.
Reilo was troubled, not because of the title "Eye of the Sun," but because of the description of himself on the Elite Rank. Reilo knew that his mentor was not that kind of person, and he was not some kind of secret weapon at all. The people in the academy had misunderstood his mentor.
"It's an academic paper I published a few days ago while researching <Starry Sky Academic>. It was discovered by a reviewer who asked me for the name of my paper, and I told her."
Reilo said apologetically, "Mentor, I didn't tell you at the time because I was afraid you would misunderstand. I didn't expect it to cause such consequences. Everyone in the academy has misunderstood you."
" Sun Eye Summoning Technique?"
Gubo, however, seemed unconcerned about the so-called misunderstanding, frowning and looking at Reilo with a puzzled expression.
"Actually, I've been reflecting on this these past few days. It seems that my understanding of you has all been based on my own wishful thinking and assumptions. Objectively speaking, I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a mentor; I've never truly understood you."
Reilo looked at Gubo in surprise.
How could such words come from a professor's mouth?
Gubo simply looked at Reilo calmly. After this disciple rejected his academic inheritance of < Ancestral Clone >, Gubo had come to regard him as an independent scholar with lofty aspirations, rather than a submissive and insignificant student, based on his persistence, dedication, and courage.
This is not a change in power.
Rather, it is a change in one's own thoughts and consciousness, a shift in the pursuit of ideals.
A scholar is called a scholar because of his unwavering dedication to academic research, not because he is merely someone who can unleash academic magic. This is the distinction between scholarship and knowledge.
Reilo's courage in rejecting Gubo has earned him Gubo 'Reilo respect!
This is a sign of respect among scholars.
"In a moment, tell your teacher about your Sun Eye Summoning Technique and your philosophy of pursuing <Starry Sky Academic>. Consider it... an academic exchange between us."
"Yes!"
Reilo responded excitedly.
Reilo has an absolutely unwavering belief in his academic pursuit of <Starry Sky Academic>, a quality that every outstanding scholar must possess. He is as steadfast and devoted as a fanatical believer to the field of knowledge he specializes in, firmly believing in its greatness and that it must surpass other academic fields.
The atmosphere was quite harmonious, and Lianyi smiled slightly upon seeing the two of them like this.
Jiahei, meanwhile, was intently eating its dried fish.
late at night.
Gubo's private laboratory.
Reilo became the mentor, while Gubo became his apprentice, listening attentively as Reilo explained his <Starry Sky Academic>.
" The <Starry Sky Academic> originates from the Heliocentric Theory theory of the forerunner White Niven. The Star Curtain World is merely a planetary body orbiting the sun. The universe contains an infinite number of celestial bodies, and the Star Curtain World is just one of these infinite celestial bodies."
"The so-called Natural Law and the <Evolution's Profound Meaning> are merely branches of truth that have evolved within the Star Curtain World Heliocentric Theory posits. The greatness of <Starry Sky Academic> hinges on whether the universe is, as the Church claims, just a box, or, as the Heliocentric Theory states, an infinite and boundless universe."
"Through long-term research, I unexpectedly discovered a way to establish a connection with the moon in a book called ' <Submerged Moon Shadow>,' thus developing the Dream Moon Technique. I intend to deepen this connection through a series of methods; to put it figuratively, it's about constantly borrowing the power of another world."
"The ' Eye of the Sun ' is simply an academic project I completed based on the Heliocentric Theory theory, using a bubble lens to focus sunlight, thus borrowing the Sun Power. Currently, the diameter of the light it can focus is only three meters."
As Reilo continued to narrate...
Gubo's expression gradually stiffened.
From Reilo's words, Gubo seemed to see the struggle of an ordinary student who, under an irresponsible mentor, could only rely on the little care given by his senior sister, using his pitiful Bubble Technique as the core, to gradually find his own path of specialization and realize his own value.
Finding greatness in the ordinary!
This irresponsible mentor arrogantly believed that passing on his academic pursuits to this student was a condescending favor, and that the student needed to perform to his utmost to satisfy him before he could receive this qualification.
Unbeknownst to him, this poor disciple had already developed his own lofty ideals and pursuits.
However, this mentor remained immersed in his own world, arrogantly believing that his academic legacy was a gift.
Gubo didn't know how to describe his feelings.
Overwhelmed by an indescribable sense of loss and shame, he felt a deep sense of remorse for his arrogance and ignorance.
I remember a year ago.
When I first met this disciple, I saw the fear and cowardice in his eyes, his obsequiousness and humility, and I felt so annoyed and repulsed. If it weren't for Bailing's persistent efforts, I probably wouldn't have even given him a second glance.
And now...
"Mentor, this is my philosophy of pursuing <Starry Sky Academic>! The Star Curtain World is not a box. One day, I will step out of this box and personally shatter the myths of all the Foolish, so that future scholars can live with the dignity that scholars deserve!"
Before he knew it, it was already midnight, Reilo was filled with fervor.
"Um."
Gubo's voice was low and deep; he had been silent for a long time.
Tonight, Reilo spent almost the entire night discussing his <Starry Sky Academic>.
"Mentor, although I have mastered the power of the moon, I still have a major problem. Astrological observation, research, and comprehension are far too slow, and I have no idea where to begin with specimens for <Starry Sky Academic>. The major duchies haven't established corresponding experimental research institutes, and even related books are scarce. I don't know how to continue..."
"Obsidian, Moon Crystal Stone, Star Crystal."
Suddenly, Gubo announced three Magic Material.
Well?
Reilo looked puzzled.
"Obsidian, you can think of it as star curtain crystal. It is the core and foundation for making magical artifacts. It is Magic Material that can only be reacted to by a level two energy field. The weight of a single piece of obsidian often determines the limit of the grade of the magical artifact."
Obsidian is the core material that determines the limit of a magical artifact's grade.
" Star Crystal, as the name suggests, are meteorites that have fallen from outside the Star Curtain World. Although most meteorites are worthless, some of them have incredibly wonderful uses. They are not only precious Magic Material, but also materials used to create the true forms of certain Extraordinary Scholar."
After introducing the two Magic Material, obsidian and Star Crystal, Gubo pondered for a moment.
"However, the most practical approach for you at this stage is to search for the ruins of the Quran. That legendary lost civilization, capable of communicating with the moon, once built hundreds of Magic Eye Pyramid in the Starveil Land. It is said that these Magic Eye Pyramid ruins still retain some very strange powers, hidden for many years in a distorted illusion. Only a few special lineages possess the mysterious power to open these ruins..."
Magic Eye Pyramid?
Reilo's memories seem to gradually return to the dreamlike and bizarre scenes he experienced when he Star Core.
That ancient civilization of the Starveil Land, which fanatically worshipped the eye and the moon, and was wiped out by ancient humans.
This was an extremely brutal ancient civilization.
Long influenced by the absurd, ancient, and distorted aura of the moon, they enslaved the ancient races of the Starveil Land, raising them like livestock to cultivate the most beautiful eyes, which were then plucked and used as sacrifices.
the next day.
Inspired by the Gubo, Reilo began studying archaeological books about the Gulan Civilization.
Archaeology is far more complex than what most people think, simply excavating ancient fossils from underground.
The Starveil Land, in the endless wilderness far from the influence of numerous temples and beliefs, in the treacherous and barren lands beyond human city-states, is where ancient battlefields and ruins of ancient civilizations are the places for archaeologists to explore.
Most of the Quranic relics were destroyed in that ancient war.
A small portion of the Quranic relics, after the Destruction the Gulan Civilization, were distorted by the power of the moon and entered a kind of illusion.
Even within the archaeological community, there are different schools of thought, each specializing in exploring historical sites from different periods. It requires centuries of family tradition and accumulation to master a field, far from the easy and inexhaustible treasures that outsiders might imagine.
Anything involving ancient ruins is fraught with danger; a slight misstep could easily turn one into part of the future archaeological exploration.
Thus, Reilo's study of archaeology only yielded a rough, general understanding.
Knock knock knock.
An unfamiliar old man, his face resembling withered tree bark, gently knocked on the gate of the Whitey building's courtyard.
Who are you?
Lianyi stepped out of the house and looked at the hunched old man with a puzzled expression.
"I am Prince Chen's old servant. Your Highness Prince Chen has recently encountered some trouble, but it is inconvenient for him to leave the palace. Therefore, he has sent this old servant to deliver a letter and this gift to his sincere friend, Mr. Reilo."
Lianyi took the envelope and wooden box with a puzzled look.
"I will pass it on to Reilo, thank you for your trouble."
The old man didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
