Chapter 475 The Origin of Magic
Time passed, I don't know how much.
When the energy of the Sea of the Mind was almost exhausted, the golden light of the system finally stopped absorbing.
What was originally just a spark of golden light has now become like the sun, radiating dazzling light and a mysterious aura.
Then, unexpectedly, an extremely pure and primal spiritual fire was fed back by the golden light of the system and merged into Dui's soul.
The moment that fire of the soul touched Dui's soul, it quickly spread and burned from the inside out.
Dui was terrified by this sudden turn of events; the soul was of utmost importance, yet now it was being set ablaze by the flames.
He felt as if his soul was being burned and melted, as if it were about to dissipate.
Dui tried to stop it, but the fire of the soul was invisible and formless, and no force could do anything to it; it only burned the soul.
Inside the soul space, Dui could only watch helplessly as his soul burned.
But he soon discovered that although the fire of his soul was burning within him, his thoughts and consciousness were not blurred, nor did he experience any pain. On the contrary, his mental awareness became clearer than ever before.
His consciousness seemed to transcend this world, becoming devoid of desires and observing it with absolute rationality.
The ethereal laws of time, space, fate, mind, death, and so on were laid bare before him, becoming tangible and perceptible.
Moreover, a fundamental and most mysterious law of the soul, using his own soul as a guide, revealed a corner of the law of the soul to him.
The soul is the core of all life and the cornerstone of the world's existence. The authority over the souls of Arda has always been held by the creator god Ilúvatar. Even Mandos, who is known as the lord of the dead, only has the power to judge souls, but cannot create them.
The Secret Fire, also known as the Unquenchable Fire or the Fire of the Soul, is capable of creating souls, which is why Morgoth has been trying to find it.
He wanted to obtain the secret fire so that he could master the method of creating souls, thereby recreating his own life and becoming a new creator god.
Now, without the Secret Flame, Dui, with the help of the system, unexpectedly comprehended a bit of the Soul Law and reaped a huge surprise!
Perhaps when he fully comprehends the laws of the soul and makes his soul of immortality, that will be the time for him to break through the Vera level and reach another realm.
Getting back to the main point, Dui's soul, under the burning of the fire of the soul, became smaller and more solid.
After an unknown period of time, Dui's soul became increasingly pure and flawless. From its original illusory state, it was refined, shrunk, and condensed into a soul crystal that existed between the real and the illusory.
The soul crystal is transparent and flawless, radiating the light of the soul, and looks like a crystal diamond, with a very mysterious brilliance.
The soul crystal exudes an aura of immortality and indestructibility, carrying the laws of time and mind that Dui has mastered, as well as a portion of the laws of the soul.
Within the core of the soul crystal, the golden light that the system had transformed into still occupied the space, like a domineering master that wouldn't allow anyone to encroach on its position.
The benefits of the soul transformation are enormous. Dui is now confident that he would feel no pressure even if he were to face Morgoth again.
Even without the power of the Sea of Mind and the River of Time, he could completely overwhelm Morgoth with his own strength.
Moreover, the strength of his soul led to a qualitative transformation in his mental power and mind, making it easier for him to utilize and manipulate the various laws of the Alda world.
More importantly, he could finally see what the system looked like.
Dui cautiously tried again to probe his consciousness into the depths of his soul to perceive the system, but this time the golden light of the system did not obstruct his consciousness.
When his consciousness finally reached the system, Dui's body trembled, his eyes went blank, and he blankly received the massive amount of information coming from the depths of his soul.
He seemed frozen in place, completely oblivious to his surroundings, until after a moment his gaze finally focused, his pupils dilating in shock and disbelief.
Dui's breathing became rapid, and his heart began to beat faster uncontrollably.
"I never expected this!" Dui exclaimed excitedly and overjoyed.
It turns out that the system deep within his soul was not a "system" in the true sense, but rather the manifestation of the magical essence of a world.
And this source of magic, unsurprisingly, is from the world of Harry Potter.
Although Dui didn't understand why the source of magic in the Harry Potter world had taken the form of a system and brought him to the world of Alda.
However, the level of this origin has exceeded his current understanding and control, reaching the level of creation.
It might be comparable to Ilúvatar's Secret Flame.
Moreover, this source of magic is different from the laws of time and mind that Dui currently possesses. It belongs to the laws of the world of Arda and originates from the creator god Ilúvatar.
Once he leaves this world, he will lose his authority over time and mind, and be reduced to his original state.
But the source of magic is different; it is completely bound to Dui's soul and is a power that belongs entirely to Dui.
His ability to become a wizard and possess magic stemmed entirely from the presence of magical essence within his soul.
It can be said that Dui himself possesses a huge treasure, far more powerful and precious than all the power he has!
Having such a treasure, Dui was naturally very excited and delighted, but he soon had to calm down.
Although he possesses a treasure containing the origin of the world, his current strength is still insufficient to unlock it.
Although the system had long been bound to Dui's soul and hidden deep within it, it did not truly belong to him.
It's more like it uses Dui's soul as a vessel or host, remaining aloof like a goddess, completely ignoring Dui's advances.
Dui knew that the system was formed from the origin of magic in a world, and was a creation-level entity, while Dui was only at the Vera level, with a difference of one dimension between them.
Perhaps only when he breaks through to the power of the creator god will he be able to fully master this system and completely make it his own.
In addition, Dui also thought of another way to get a head start on mastering the system.
That's the secret fire!
The system is a creation-level entity, and the Secret Fire is also a creation flame. Dui's current power cannot shake the system, but the Secret Fire might be able to.
After all, both belong to powers exceeding the level of Vera, so perhaps the Secret Flame can be used to unlock the treasure of the system ahead of time.
In that case, he should be able to break through the barriers and advance to a higher level.
Otherwise, Dui doesn't know how he could successfully break through to the level of a creator god.
After all, he had previously thought of using the ocean of minds, where all living beings gather, to help himself break through to a higher level.
But now it seems he was oversimplifying things.
While the energy of the Sea of the Mind is indeed immense, enough to allow him to reach the pinnacle of the Valar realm, the difference between the Valar and the Creator God is not a matter of quantitative accumulation.
Rather, it is a difference in fundamental position, far greater than the difference between Maya and Vera.
Not to mention that his spiritual sea is now completely depleted, with no more energy to provide for him.
Although as long as Arda remains alive, the warp will continue to gather psychic energy, it will be a drop in the ocean for Dui.
