579 Demiplane (1/2)

Before the complicated feelings in his heart died away, waves of spiritual power, after being adjusted by the ritual of 'Origin of Magic', flowed toward him gently at Lucien's own frequency.

In the meantime, the whole deep, boundless sky quaked slightly. The mysterious force was concentrated on the projection of Lucien's Host Star of Destiny. Because Fernando hosted the ritual in person, the 'star of mysteries', the terrible darkness behind it that seemed able to absorb everything, was not neglected.

The projection of the Host Star of Destiny hummed and shivered with noises that were inaudible to ordinary people. In the meantime, Lucien summoned his cognitive world in meditation, allowing the bright and dark Host Star of Destiny inside shake at the same time. As they were synchronized, Lucien had the feeling that the real world was ebbing, and that his cognitive world was surrounding his body and his soul.

After the half-solidification, Lucien's cognitive world was already able to influence the real world as he wished. Therefore, Lucien gradually spread out the feeling and changed everything around him.

At the center of the ritual, the stars were vaguely curved. Symbols of elements flashed in different colors, with the internal structure made of protons, neutrons and electrons. They split and gathered, producing the myriad of elements in the material world, before all the elements were gathered into the pure iron universe.

Lucien's legendary class, 'Atom Controller', did not seem to overlap with the path of quantum mechanics that he intended to walk on, but quantum mechanics were based on the exploration of the microworld after all. The studies on the electron alone had produced amazing and unbelievable achievements. Then, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force, the last two of the four fundamental forces, were recognized, before the basic model of particles was developed and the electromagnetic power and the weak nuclear force were united.

Therefore, the shabby model of atomic nucleus was deepened and developed into a standard model of particles without changing the foundation.

After a while, the pure influence of the cognitive world 'touched' Lucien's body for real, making him feel the tremendous power.

Surpassing his body, his cognitive world and his soul met in the material world. Under their influence, the starry magic models constructed inside his soul all glittered with bright and dreamy brilliance.

Lucien felt that his soul was shaking, and that his ability to think and control the cognitive world plummeted. It was ten times more difficult for him to continue the modification of his soul with the cognitive world.

The magic models were vaguely curved like real stars, which gradually raised Lucien's viewpoint and gave him a strange feeling that he was looking down at himself from somewhere high.

The quake of the soul was even more intense. The edge became blurry and was connected to the unpredictable cognitive world. Then, it expanded into a fleeting cloud that intended to enshroud the cognitive world from the outside. At this point, Lucien's spiritual power almost ran dry, but the spiritual power of the six grand arcanists proved by the ritual of Origin of Magic was as incessant as an ocean, ready for him to squander.

With the lofty feeling, Lucien recovered from the shock of melding with his spiritual power. He watched the cognitive world collapse and develop into his soul, containing the magic models.

As a result, three curtains were formed. The soul was at the outermost level, then it was the cognitive world, and there were plenty of magic models inside the cognitive world. He felt that he was in control of everything.

Dwelling in the fabulous feeling, Lucien suddenly felt excruciating pain. He knew that the most difficult test had come, especially when his soul hadn't reached the standard of legendary yet!

His cognitive world suddenly expanded, tearing holes in the soul at the outermost level.

The pain from his soul almost made Lucien give up, but he gritted his teeth and tried to enjoy it while he repaired his soul with the power transmitted by the ritual of Origin of Magic!

Very soon, the pain arrived at the peak. Lucien felt that his soul was full of wounds. Also, the Origin of Magic could not repair his soul as fast now.

If it were any other time, Lucien would've passed out, because the pain surpassed what his body and his soul could bear. However, his mind and his soul seemed separated right now. There was no sign that he was falling into a coma.

Lucien knew that the pain would be gone if his mind returned to his body, but the ritual would also fail if so.

Having no time to recall his life experiences or curse fate, Lucien had only one thought in his head, which was to persist, persist and persist!

At some point, the unimaginable pain gradually weakened, and the 'resistance' of his cognitive world was gentler and gentler. Although his soul was riddled with holes, it was still powered by the Origin of Magic.

Lucien was about to heave a sigh in relief, when unpredictable colors that did not belong to this world glittered. The spirit library that had accompanied him since his rebirth appeared!

Inside the spirit library, all the books were unsealed. Then, the library was smaller and smaller as if Lucien were flying higher and higher, until it was replaced by a beautiful, dreamy planet that was covered with a blue ocean.

Is it Earth?

Lucien had complicated feelings.

Earth was also smaller and smaller as Lucien flew higher. The sun, the eight planets and poor Pluto were connected into a line like a picture.

Is it the solar system?

Lucien's feeling of looking down at everything did not stop. Even the solar system was reduced in size. Countless stars gathered into a surging river.

”Don't dwell in the illusion. Navigate the power into the cognitive world in your soul.” Fernando's strict voice echoed next to Lucien's ears. They couldn't detect the changes inside Lucien's soul, but they could infer Lucien's phase from his apparent behavior.

Illusion? Is it an illusion?

Lucien was very confused, but he directed the overwhelming power of the Origin of Magic into his soul without delay, towards the struggling cognitive world.

The humming stopped, and a terrifying energy storm was raised in his cognitive world. The magic models such as 'Atomic Fission', being irrigated by them, shined one symbol after another and melded with the soul, like the magic models from the first circle to the ninth circle!

Boom!
