Ian first studied the black Cosmic Cube body. Before, at Council, he did not have suitable precision instruments at hand, but now the situation is different.
He used Arcane Empire's most advanced equipment to try to unlock the secret of this Cosmic Cube body. However, the final result was not satisfactory.
In the final analysis stage, he tried to reverse engineer the material of the Cosmic Cube body, but he was unable to bypass its core anti-theft technology.
This technology contains Primordial Rune. No matter what method he uses, these runes cannot be recorded or memorized.
"This ability reminds me of those indescribable creatures we recorded in Void." Ian commented, feeling the memetic power emanating from Cosmic Cube's body.
"This Cosmic Cube body should represent the most cutting-edge technological level of Wizard Race." Morgana said.
"You're talking too much." Ian retorted, causing House-elf to turn over Byakugan. They didn't even know what Wizard Race's highest achievement was. Just because they couldn't understand it, they concluded that it was the other party's top technology. This was indeed a bit arrogant.
Ian looked at the Cosmic Cube body and didn't care how far apart Empire's technological level was from the peak of Wizard Race; it only meant that they still had a lot of room for growth and development. In any case, he had absolute confidence that Empire's civilization would surpass that level sooner or later.
"Do you know what this thing reminds me of?" Ian asked.
"What?"
"Supreme Rebirth Plan."
Morgana immediately understood what he meant. Supreme Rebirth Plan is Empire's final backup plan when facing destruction.
Ian There are many the Library scattered in the hidden corners of the universe and various dimensions, which contain the knowledge crystallization of the Arcane Empire civilization.
If someone could find and gain control of one of the Librarys, they could theoretically rebuild the Arcane Empire from scratch.
Of course, it's not easy to get these things.
These the Library will put Inheritors to a rigorous test, testing their magical talent, political skills and overall leadership ability. In addition, Inheritors must also make the most stringent soul oath, promise to avenge the fallen Empire, and complete other tasks, such as helping Resurrection Imperial Family members.
Therefore, these the Library are not only the sparks of Arcanist Civilization, but also the Resurrection backup that Ian left for himself and his family.
"Why do you think they left this Cosmic Cube body? Is it similar to your plan?" Morgana asked.
"I'm not sure. Wizard Race has been Transcendence Astral Realm, but I have always found it strange why their entire civilization left without leaving any clan members. Maybe this Cosmic Cube body can answer this question, or they just want to leave some inheritance in their hometown."
"Then let's find out."
Ian nodded and focused on the first Primordial Rune displayed by the Cosmic Cube body. He studied it with all his concentration. Although this rune seemed very simple, it still took him more than a week to fully master it.
"Magic Missile," Ian sighed, "Such a basic spell turned out to be so complicated when constructed with Primordial Rune."
"To be fair, Magic Missile is actually not a simple spell." Morgana retorted. In the Empire's current education system, Magic Missile is one of the earliest spells that 11-year-old children come into contact with, and it is also a spell that they need to continuously learn and practice throughout their pre-college education.
The process of releasing this spell is very simple, and does not even require the construction of a spell model. Students only need to control their own magic power, condense it into a ball, and then release it. Strictly speaking, this is not even a real spell, but more like a magic control training.
The stronger the control, the faster students can condense missiles and launch them faster; when reaching higher levels, they can also control missiles to change their trajectories in the air. Eventually, students will learn how to condense magic into different shapes.
For example, arrow-shaped missiles have stronger penetrating power, while square-shaped missiles are more suitable for physical bludgeoning.
The Magic Missile spell also has its complicated side. There was once a school of thought that objected to magic control training that relied too much on personal talent, so they created a method of using Arcane Runes to release Magic Missile.
Arcanist no longer needs to rely on day-to-day magic training or innate talent. Instead, it is possible to successfully cast Magic Missile by constructing the correct rune array and giving the magic precise instructions: including how to condense, how to shape, how to maintain stability, and how to fly like a projectile.
This school of thought transformed Magic Missile, a spell that originally relied heavily on personal perception, into a precise mathematical formula that everyone can use.
As long as a person has the soul power, understands and masters the correct runes, and constructs them within their own Soul Dimension, they can simply infuse the magic to activate the spell, thereby releasing various versions of Magic Missile.
What the Cosmic Cube body shows is exactly the Primordial Rune version of this spell.
"Through this comparison of simple spells, we can better understand the foundation of Primordial Rune, including some of its syntax and grammatical structures." Morgana said, and Ian nodded in agreement.
He did not hesitate to place the Rune Carving he had just mastered next to the Cosmic Cube body projection. As expected, the Cosmic Cube body Blink emitted a burst of new light, and then a cold and emotionless voice sounded in his mind:
"Detected that the first trial has been passed. Granted access to the first level of inheritance."
Ian does not recognize the language uttered by the Cosmic Cube body, but he can directly understand its meaning. This shows that this is a way of soul communication that can transcend language barriers.
After the sound disappeared, he felt that some subtle changes had occurred in Cosmic Cube's body, but he was still unable to analyze it in depth.
So, after taking some necessary protective measures, he injected his Soul Energy into Cosmic Cube's body.
Soon, he found himself in a spacious room filled with bookshelves.
"Is this a the Library?"
"Please understand and master all the information here." The voice sounded again.
"Then what? What's next?"
"Inheritors will accept the assessment. After passing, you will gain access to higher-level inheritance."
"Assessment? What kind of assessment?"
"No comment."
Ian frowned, "Is there a time limit?"
"No."
Ian nodded and began to check the books on the bookshelf. As he expected, most of them contained knowledge about Primordial Rune, but he also found several books that recorded unique magical knowledge. Obviously, Wizard Race believed that this knowledge was special enough to be included in their inheritance.
What Ian wants to do most now is to stay in this the Library for thousands of years and greedily absorb all this magical knowledge and theory. But he knows that now is not the time.
So, he quit the Cosmic Cube body and contacted Luna, wanting to know about her Divination progress.
"I can finally contact you." Luna said.
"Did you find anything?"
"There is good news and bad news," she replied. "The good news is that I, Divination, have discovered the source of this token."
"Oh? Where?"
"A plane called [Myriad Laws Codex]."
Ian's eyes lit up, "What about the bad news?"
"I cannot divine its specific location; to be precise, if I want to get its coordinates, I may need to spend a hundred years to deduce it."
"Isn't it possible to use Havika Formula?"
"There is too little known information to calculate." Luna replied, "However, you don't have to worry too much. Hermione is collecting intelligence from Abyss, and there should be news soon."
"That's good." Ian nodded. As long as there is hope and direction, he is relieved. "Contact me as soon as you have any news."
"Okay." Luna nodded, "I have another important news to tell you - we found another Cosmic Cube body."
"Really? That's great."
"I'll send it to you right away." Luna quickly cut off the communication; everyone was busy, and now is not the time for romance. In less than five minutes, Ian got the second Cosmic Cube body in his hands.
However, when the two Cosmic Cube bodies came close to each other, they suddenly began to emit dazzling light, and then Fusion came together, leaving only one. Then, the cold voice sounded in Ian's mind again:
"It is detected that Inheritors has mastered the shuttle ability of Multiverse. The first-level assessment is cancelled, and the inheritance authority is upgraded to the second level."
'Interesting.' Ian thought to himself as he squinted his eyes.
"How many levels are there in total in this inheritance?" he asked tentatively.
"No comment."
Ian no longer struggled with this problem, and entered the space inside Cosmic Cube's body again, looking around for any changes. He soon discovered a door that did not exist before, and pushed it open and walked in.
The second floor is still a the Library, but the scale is much smaller. After a quick glance, Ian realized that more advanced knowledge should be stored here.
Unfortunately, since he has just started learning Primordial Rune, he cannot judge how advanced this knowledge is.
However, his attention was quickly attracted by a table in the center of the Library. There was a small metal container on the table, Blink glowing with bright silver light.
Ian slowly approached and opened the container; this thing did not impose any enchantment or magical protection. In the center of the container, a token lay quietly, and Ian recognized what it was at a glance.
"Akashic Records Token." He murmured to himself.
