The members of Illuminati are in place on five planets.
Each of them stands at the center of a giant Transmutation Circle carved into the planet's surface.
When everything is ready, Ian announces the start.
Above their heads, there is a huge "Aether Core" that is the same size as Floating City. This means that Ian now has enough energy reserves to build five more Floating Citys.
Now all he lacks is other supplies.
Standing on the central platform of Transmutation Circle formed by five stars, Ian said, "Let's get started."
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge will descended on this galaxy, completely isolating it from the rest of the universe.
This is one of the reasons why Ian sought help from Kelona.
This ritual requires an extremely large amount of energy, and he does not want to attract the attention of other gods. Although Milky Way Galaxy is currently in a blocked state, this rule may not be effective for some Tenth Tier gods.
Moreover, before Empire grows to a certain level, he does not want this galaxy to be targeted by some powerful beings.
At first, he wanted to enter "Blank Domain" - the gap between parallel dimensions - to perform the ritual.
However, he found that Blank Domain in this universe was more difficult to enter than the previous universe.
It took Empire two years to adjust the technology of the Novad family, and barely opened the channel to Blank Domain.
But unfortunately, the first two expedition teams sent were wiped out in an instant.
Fortunately, Ian was prepared and allowed them to leave soul fragments. After consuming a lot of resources, their souls were repaired and their bodies were reshaped.
The strange thing is that something - or some existence - erased their memories.
Therefore, Ian officially listed Blank Domain as the highest level dangerous area, decided to adopt a slow exploration strategy, and gave up the idea of holding a ceremony there.
Following Ian's command, the other members pressed their hands on Transmutation Circle on their respective planets, guiding Aether Core's energy to activate the formation.
Ian is also doing the same action, while Morgana connects her computing power to everyone's souls to help them harness this huge energy.
In an instant, the entire galaxy seemed to be lit up. If you observe it from another angle, you can see that every planet is covered with glowing Transmutation Circle.
At the same time, from an overhead perspective, these five planets together form a larger Transmutation Circle.
In addition, countless small runes and magic circles lit up on the metal structures connecting all the planets.
A few minutes later, Ian felt that his consciousness had traveled to a distant place and seemed to be establishing a connection with something or an entity.
After a strange feeling that felt both momentary and eternity, a voice sounded deep in his mind:
"Ding. Welcome to Akashic Records branch #127490374. Do you want to start the tour?"
Hearing this, Ian frowned.
Do records have different branches in different worlds?
If I can only access the information of this universe, it defeats the purpose of obtaining the coordinates of other worlds through it.
His brain was working rapidly, looking for solutions. But while he was meditating, other members were locked in a hard fight.
Even with the help of Morgana, it is still extremely difficult to control such a huge amount of energy.
In the end, Grindelwald had to order the members of "Ghost Squad" to share some of the pressure, and everyone was able to breathe.
After thinking for a few minutes, Ian thought of a way.
He connected to Floating City and opened a gap in Void outside the universe.
Then, he used the connection given by Transmutation Circle to try to locate the "headquarters" of Akashic Records in Void.
However, he encountered another problem.
He could feel that at this speed, it might take billions of years to reach the destination.
Not to mention whether he could live that long, even if he could, he didn't want to wait.
He had to find another method. At this moment, the voice of Rowena came into his mind.
"My latest research may be able to help you," she said, transmitting the information directly to him.
Rowena discovered a way to strip the spatial properties from Void Energy and use it for teleportation.
She just needs to tell Void Energy where she wants to go and the energy will take her there.
No coordinates are needed, no memory of having been there: just a request or desire.
She was excited about this discovery because it meant that the concept of "distance" would become meaningless to her.
If she wants to go to a specific parallel dimension, she only needs to give the order to Void Energy.
This principle also applies to traveling to other universes.
Unfortunately, her research is still in its early stages, and it can currently only teleport objects the size of basketballs, and there are many restrictions on the commands given by Void Energy.
Despite this, this research is still a timely help for Ian.
Using this principle, he ordered Void Energy to take him to Akashic Records.
In an instant, he felt the speed of his consciousness traveling along the connection sharply increase.
A few minutes later, he found himself standing in front of a huge black door with countless books carved on it.
Each book has a different design or symbol on its cover.
"Owl, Mandala, Sarasvati, ibis... these are all symbols that symbolize knowledge in different religions and cultures," Ian muttered to himself.
The door suddenly opened, swallowing Ian. But when he came back to his senses, he found that he was still standing on the same platform in the original universe, but there was an extra piece of information in his mind.
He frowned and said, "Status bar."
A screen appeared in front of him:
Name: Ian
Origin: Origin Earth
Talent: Photographic memory, Extreme Magical Affinity
Instructor: Sir Merlin
Current location: Universe #127490374(Harry Potter Universe)
Age: 304
Rank: Sixth Tier(Planetary Level)
Title: Arcane Archon, Civilization Founder, Sage of Wisdom, Divine Alchemist, Pathfinder, Dark Explorer, Voidwalker
Knowledge Points(KP): 0
Task Points(MP): 200
Ian looked at the status window and fell into deep thought. A lot of information was obvious.
Christian is his name before reincarnation, and the talent column should refer to the abilities he brought from Origin Earth.
But he was confused about "Knowledge Points".
What is Knowledge Points? He asked directly in his mind and got the answer immediately. His guess about the record in <Fullmetal Alchemist> world time was correct.
Akashic Records follows the "Equivalent Exchange" principle. If someone wants to obtain knowledge from it, they must exchange it with their own knowledge, which will be quantified as "Knowledge Points" (KP).
Essentially, KP is a universal currency for recording. However, there are some rules and restrictions for obtaining KP.
Only new or innovative knowledge can be exchanged.
For example, if Ian exchanges basic physics or chemistry knowledge of a certain world, he will not get any KP.
But if he puts forward some new theory based on existing knowledge, he can exchange for points.
The only exception is if the record has not branched out to a world and the knowledge of that world has not yet been included, or if it is some kind of lost knowledge that has been rediscovered or recovered.
If so, then my previous understanding of Akashic Records was completely wrong.
It is not a repository storing all knowledge of existence from the beginning of time.
It may just be a platform for knowledge exchange between different universes.
Then, Ian asked about the meaning of "Task Points", and the answer he got confirmed his guess.
Akashic Records has Task Hall for users.
Missions often include searching for lost knowledge, establishing branches in newly discovered universes (or unrecorded universes), or figuring out why certain branches are disconnected.
In addition to KP, some knowledge also requires a certain amount of Task Points when redeeming it.
As for why he has 200 points, it's a reward for him being able to discover the record on his own without an invitation or a token as Luck's son.
Ian wanted to give it a try, so he searched for "Arcane Rune System" in this universe. He found that there was only a brief description and it was marked as [Not yet obtained].
Then, he searched for information about the world <Black Clover>, because this was the world he originally planned to go to if he could choose independently.
Black Clover World: Contains all knowledge of the world (plot, detailed character analysis and personality, complete magic system including all spells, detailed biological information of all species, etc.).
Price: 15,000,000 KP
Ian frowned, and then exchanged all his knowledge about the Harry Potter world "Wand-Making System". As a result, he obtained 250,346 KP.
Subsequently, Ian asked about the prices of different parts of <Black Clover>.
For example, buy only the magic system, Grimoire information, or only buy Demons information.
The prices of these individual projects range from 1 million to 5 million KP.
However, when he asked about purchasing only plot or universe coordinates, the total cost turned out to be only 2,500 KP.
I get it. This is a mechanism that encourages users to go to that world to gain knowledge and then innovate.
In addition, records may also be involved in the war between Merlin and Solomon, and use this method to cultivate talents.
After understanding the general situation, Ian finally focused on the last point that confused him: whether his titles had any actual use.
It turns out that every title brings him some kind of benefit.
