Alfia thought for a moment and said, "For example... the earth we live on is actually round, and the stars in the sky represent a 'world'?"

"Did you hear that from Hera?"

"Um."

Alfia nodded.

It is only natural that gods can exist in outer space and have left planets.

However, the innate gods born on planets cannot go far; even for the gods, the universe remains dangerous.

If someone dies too far away, they might not even be able to be resurrected.

The universe is too vast and seems too desolate. Even if it were incredibly boring, no god would leave their home to venture into the perilous universe.

The gods of this world are innate, rule-based gods; in terms of divine status, all gods are equal.

Therefore, there are no parent-child, sibling, or other such relationships, nor are there any so-called 'demigods,' because gods do not have offspring.

They are products of the planet and can access all information through the planet's records, therefore they claim to be omniscient.

They possess all-powerful, divine power derived from the miracles of the planet, with extremely high versatility, meaning they were born at the pinnacle.

But it is precisely because it reached a state of 'perfection' from the very beginning that it is limited, both in its thinking and its strength.

Therefore, the gods of this world have no means to foresee the future; their time has long since stopped flowing over hundreds of millions of years.

Chapter 51 This is your brother-in-law!

"The world is a giant circle; looking at the world from a map is a macroscopic perspective."

Ming Ge said, "Besides that, there's also the microscopic level."

"It's like a map. You can see the entire continent in your mind's eye, that's the macroscopic view. But standing here, you can only see what's in front of you, that's the microscopic view."

"I can barely understand it," Alfia, rubbing her head.

"From a microscopic perspective, whether it's the earth, the ocean, life itself, or even humans and monsters, there is no fundamental difference; they are all composed of countless particles."

Ming Ge said something that shattered her worldview.

"Magic has a very special nature; its essence is mental power (Mind), which is immeasurable, while matter is."

Ming Ge picked up the shards of the wooden cup and gently crushed them.

"Like this fragment of the wooden cup, it is also composed of countless spiritual particles similar to those I just created, only they are material particles."

"Through rituals or Divine Blessing, a transformed mind gains the ability to influence the material world. If it can influence, it can also be measured. And if it can be measured, it can comprehend the essence of magic."

"Once you understand the essence of magic, magic is just a toy; you can knead it and shape it into whatever form you want."

Struggling to process information she had never encountered before, Alfia managed to understand quite a bit.

"If that's the case, then if one could freely control matter particles, wouldn't one be able to become Creator?"

Alfia joked.

"Um."

Ming Ge nodded and said, "If one can achieve this, one will indeed meet the basic conditions for becoming a 'Creator.' With a powerful influence and the right methods, one will become a physical deity."

Alfia's forced smile vanished; she was unsure how to face the situation.

Even though she was known as a monster of talent, Alfia never thought of being on par with the gods.

Judging from Ming Ge's expression, he genuinely thought so!

"Let's get back to the main topic."

Ming Ge controlled the particles in his hand, causing their movement to stop, and they then formed a hard sphere.

"The particles inside the sphere are constantly moving. When attacked, the overall phase of the Absolute Domain changes to block the attack. This is the principle of the Absolute Domain."

I can't learn it, no matter how hard I try.

No—more importantly, she simply couldn't understand particle-related concepts.

The idea that everything is made up of particles... is an unprecedented unknown.

Moreover, to form soul particles with magic is already a power of the divine realm, something even Alfia didn't have the confidence to master.

After trying for a while, Alfia was still unable to materialize magic into particles, let alone convert soul particles.

She shook her head and said, "It seems I'm not going to learn this trick."

Only then could she understand that when Ming Ge called her the 'embodiment of talent,' it was without fear or ambition, simply a 'title' for a genius.

Her talents were limited, but Ming Ge's thinking seemed endless, a fact that Alfia now truly understood.

"If you can't understand it, why don't you experience it for yourself?"

Ming Ge extended her hand.

"Is it magic again?"

Alfia understood Ming Ge's words.

Ming Ge's magical talent is truly astonishing; he was practically born to wield magic.

She hesitated for a moment before taking Ming Ge's hand, recalling how she felt when Ming Ge first used Regulation Magic to adjust her body.

A strange mix of shyness and excitement flashed through Alfia's heart, and her thoughts instantly became chaotic.

This man's every move stirred a turmoil within her; when had she become so wretched?

Perhaps... it's because I owe too many favors that I can never repay?

As for what Meitellia said about falling in love with Ming Ge... would a weirdo like her really fall for someone one day?

Maybe... Alfia herself didn't know what she was thinking.

At this moment, however, she greatly envied Meitellia. Compared to Alfia herself, Meitellia lived a life of profound understanding.

"It won't be as unpleasant as Regulation Magic, will it?"

Alfia spoke as if changing the subject.
