"What's abnormal?" Ian sat up straight, his eyes instantly becoming sharp.
Morgana's expression was extremely solemn. "Master, you showed a very strong obsession in the subconscious test - an obsession that wants to bring 'Alchemy System' completely back to the Arcane Empire, and to do this at all costs."
"Is there any problem with this?" Ian frowned, "Alchemy is the essence of this world. It's normal for me to want to get it."
"The question is 'whatever it takes'."
Morgana called up the data analysis chart, "According to your consistent behavioral logic, even if you desire some kind of power, you will prioritize risk assessment. But in the previous decision-making simulation, you even planned to directly trade with 'Truth', requesting him to modify the underlying laws of the universe where Arcane Empire is located to be compatible with Gate of Truth."
"This kind of behavior seriously violates your 'survival first' principle. According to calculations, there is a 98.7% probability that this kind of thinking mode is a spiritual suggestion implanted by external forces."
Hearing this, Ian felt a chill.
He recalled his thoughts over the past few months. Indeed, he was too enthusiastic about "popularizing Alchemy." He even had the absurd idea that "as long as he can achieve his goal, it doesn't matter even if he bows to Truth."
"That's it..."
Ian took a deep breath and forced his brain to cool down.
"Truth did not directly control me, but planted a seed in my subconscious. He made me feel that I wanted to introduce Alchemy out of 'free will'. And once I really did so, I even asked Him to modify the law..."
That is to lure the wolf into the house.
Gate of Truth is the tentacle of Truth. If every citizen of the Arcane Empire owns Gate of Truth, it means that the entire Empire has become the back garden of Truth.
At that time, all knowledge output and all Soul Energy will be harvested by Truth.
"What a good plan. What a good plan."
Ian's lips curved into a sneer, "Using my greed and arrogance to make me willingly become His missionary. Is this God's method?"
After figuring this out, Ian felt that his brain was clearer than ever before. The inexplicable heat and obsession receded like the tide.
"Actually, I don't need Truth's authorization at all."
Ian looked at his hands, the light of reason rekindled in his eyes.
"My father (Dwarf in the Flask) was able to try to create Gate of Truth by himself just by swallowing Eye of God (although the failed product was Gluttony), and I now have the complete Divine Knowledge, which even surpasses the Xerxes of that era on a technical level."
"I can build a completely new system myself."
"Since Gate of Truth is a trap, then I will build a door of my own! Since Alchemy needs to pay Truth, then I will create a new magic that does not require a middleman to make a difference!"
Ian's eyes flashed with a hint of madness and ambition.
Since Truth dared to plot against him, then he dared to overturn Truth's table.
"Morgana, Create new project."
Ian waved his hand, and several huge holographic projection folders appeared in front of him.
[Wand Magic]: Latin magic based on the world of Harry Potter, including Transfiguration, spells, Dark Magic, etc. The advantage is that the system is mature, but the disadvantage is that it relies heavily on wands and spells, and the power of Nonverbal Spellcasting is weakened (only 90%).
[Dragon Tongue Magic]: Powerful magic derived from Dragon Bloodline, including high-level applications of time and space. The advantage is that it is powerful, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult for human vocal organs to perfectly reproduce the frequency of Dragon Language, and it is incomplete.
[Demon Whisper Magic]: Based on the Demons contract rune obtained from the transaction with Mephisto. The advantage is that it targets the soul and spirit, but the disadvantage is that the price is high and the system is incomplete.
Ian looked at these three folders and shook his head. These are the remnants of Old Era.
"Morgana, create two new folders."
"The first one is named: [Gate Alchemy]. Import all the knowledge we acquired in that world into it."
"The second one is named: [Arcane Rune Magic]."
"Yes, Master."
On the screen, two new folders were born. Among them, "Gate Alchemy" was instantly filled with massive data, while "Arcane Rune Magic" was blank.
Ian pointed at the blank space with burning eyes:
"I want to create a universal, modular, programmable magic language."
"The traditional Wand Magic is too cumbersome and cannot be cast multiple times; Dragon Tongue Magic requires too much talent; Demons magic is too dangerous."
"Alchemy's 'understanding, decomposition, and reconstruction' inspired me. Especially the structure of Transmutation Circle - guiding energy through graphics and symbols."
"What if we transform the underlying logic of magic into a rune language similar to programming code?"
Ian drew a circle in the air, then filled it with the Rune runes representing "fire", and added a geometric structure representing "launch".
"No longer do you need lengthy spells or waving a wand. You only need to build a 'rune model' in your consciousness to directly mobilize magic power."
"Moreover, this kind of runes can be directly carved on objects to achieve permanent enchantment. In the future, when making Floating City or star battleships, we no longer need to carve spells one by one like embroidery, but directly lay out the rune circuits like printed circuit boards!"
This is an extremely ambitious project. It means breaking down all existing magic systems, extracting the most essential rules, and then rewriting them in a completely new language.
But that's exactly what Ian wants.
What he wants to do is not only be a powerful wizard, but also a legislator of magical civilization.
"Let's get started, Morgana."
Ian closed his eyes and his mind dived into the vast ocean of knowledge Sea of Consciousness, "This will be our most powerful counterattack against 'Truth'."
