My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit-Chapter 312 - 292: Live Well

If it weren’t for the lack of a Cross in his hand, he would have wanted to plant it into the ground.

After a flashy display for a while, Small General had completely turned into a humanoid light bulb and then began trying to fly into the sky.

Eisen said, "Is your magic humanoid spacecraft reliable?"

He always felt this thing was a bit too abstract, and with these two making such a fuss, his original melancholy and worries had diminished significantly.

"Rest assured, very stable," Xue Dili said.

Through their tinkering and calculations, Small General could fly at least 2 million kilometers in the Cosmos, and Small General had placed the Space Transmission coordinates on Xue Dili, allowing him to transmit back at the fastest speed during an emergency, not getting stuck like the tragedy of cave diving.

"Try to return before dark," Xue Dili said.

"Alright, watch me shoot to the heavens!" Small General instantly shot into the sky, quickly becoming a small dot in the sky.

Eisen watched this speed, swallowed hard, and at this moment, he realized what a dimensional strike these two were to the local natives.

So he tentatively asked, "Can I learn Magic?"

In his view, this kind of knowledge should be extremely precious, the ultimate wisdom to be held forever.

However, Xue Dili immediately said, "Sure."

This decisive answer left him stunned.

Xue Dili, having nothing better to do, decided to teach this local who had persisted in this endlessly restarting world.

Following the way the old Undead taught Xue Dili, he began trying to teach this middle-aged man.

Logically, the world of the Heart Stealers should be one filled with Magic and chaos, but for some reason, what he saw and heard today, this place seemed more like an absolutely magicless world, just like Earth.

Eisen quickly grasped Magic Power and released the Holy Light Technique within the next hour.

Xue Dili nodded; he indeed had talent. As expected of the Heart Stealer race, even an ordinary middle-aged guy’s Magic Talent was this strong.

However, after releasing the Holy Light Technique, Eisen didn’t continue but instead frowned.

"What’s wrong?" Xue Dili asked.

"Is it that Magic Power just decreases and gradually disappears if not condensed?" Eisen asked a question that made Xue Dili pause.

"Hmm?" Xue Dili was puzzled, then his expression suddenly turned serious, and he asked seriously, "Wait, tell me in detail. Suppose 10 points of Magic Power are needed to release the Holy Light Technique, what would be the change in your Magic Power?"

Eisen organized his words and estimated, "When I condense Magic Power, I can gather about 12 points of Magic Power per hour, but 6 points of Magic Power naturally dissipate each hour, like being extracted. Furthermore, when not condensing Magic Power, 6-8 points naturally dissipate each hour."

When Eisen explained his feeling, Xue Dili showed a shocked expression.

Magic Power does not naturally dissipate. On the contrary, with eating, resting, and natural body growth, as physical and soul energy increase, Magic Power should naturally rise a bit.

Although the increase is not much, it definitely should not disappear for no reason.

It certainly would not be like Eisen, whose body seemed like a constantly leaking air bellows with his Magic Power loss akin to Kakashi with a Sharingan installed.

It’s as if something is constantly absorbing his Magic Power, creating an absolute magicless situation in this world.

Even from Xue Dili’s perspective, the original race of the Heart Stealers must have a particularly high Magic Talent. However, their society has now almost reached a state of absolute magiclessness, to the extent that Xue Dili and Small General appear as "legendary Mages" to Eisen.

This shouldn’t be, so the truth can only be one thing.

In this world, every Heart Stealer is naturally being drained of Magic Power every moment, and while Magic Power continuously condenses within them, it is immediately deprived when it appears, resulting in them living in an absolutely magicless environment.

This also resulted in every Heart Stealer having terrifyingly high Magic Talent.

They are born in an environment where their Magic Power is constantly being drained and squeezed, persisting in such a state through countless resets. With use, skills fade; they are essentially in Magic Power extraction mode every moment.

For a long time, when they enter an environment where Magic Power is no longer being absorbed, everyone becomes a natural genius akin to a Magic Power Elf!

Just like the Divine King, who, in over twenty years, became a quasi-5th tier Mage on his own and could fight Angels head-on. This talent can be described as a "Child of Destiny" in any world.

But in the Heart Stealers’ world, they mass-produce these Children of Destiny!

They are like, Magic Weapons!

And where has all the Magic Power drained every moment gone for countless Eisens living in this reset apocalypse?

Xue Dili connected all the pieces of information in his mind. The more he thought, the more he felt it possible; this terrifying world might be deeper than he thought, and Small General...

"Buzz!"

A sudden space transmission appeared beside Xue Dili. It was the young general who transmitted over, but he was in stark contrast to his previous composed demeanor, now utterly disheveled, with large areas of his body showing damage only identifiable as resulting from a magical attack. At the same time, the dozens of BUFFs Xue Dili had previously stacked on him were completely consumed.

He immediately said, "Let’s go! The sky of this world is false. After reaching the edge of the sky, I triggered the automatic counterattack magical guidance device!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying light cannon shot from the edge of the sky.

In the blink of an eye, it seemed to traverse a million miles.

"Buzz!"

The "Innovation Era" automatically stood in front of Xue Dili, deflecting the light cannon. However, even so, the deflected attack blasted the neighboring mountain peak apart. Countless trees were reduced to dust under the terrifying light and heat, and the ground within a radius of nearly a kilometer was scorched into a layer of twisted obsidian.

When Xue Dili turned his head, he saw the sky above them was densely packed with attacks raining down like raindrops, making his scalp tingle.

"What on earth did you attract?" Xue Dili immediately asked.

"Automatic counterattack device! Let’s find a safe place first, this is no place to talk!" He immediately placed one hand on Xue Dili and the other on Eisen, disappearing from the spot in an instant.

And where they disappeared, countless light cannons rained down like droplets, layers of mushroom clouds rising suddenly.

This scene instantly broke the original tranquility, throwing the originally peaceful and harmonious Beifeng City into complete panic.

In the next moment, Xue Dili and the others found themselves in a safe house in the sewers.

After they disappeared from the surface, the light cannon originally targeting the young general vanished, seemingly deemed as having been eliminated.

The young general was panting continuously, thoroughly drenched. The over a dozen layers of Holy Light blessed by Xue Dili were almost exhausted, leaving some strange wounds on him.

Xue Dili immediately restored his injuries with Cursed Blood, and he slumped to the ground, gasping for breath.

"What exactly is going on in the sky?" Xue Dili asked.

Not only Xue Dili but also Eisen nearby had an extremely contorted expression. It seemed like he now knew a deeper secret of the entire world, but this secret made him tremble uncontrollably.

The young general hammered the ground fiercely and said, "Damn it, the sky of this world is false, a backdrop. The sun is fake, naturally, so is the moon. After flying over ten thousand meters high, I did not ascend beyond the atmosphere; instead, I encountered countless magic-guided cannons aimed at me!"

He seemed very indignant, but obviously, he had attempted to surpass that sky, but failed, perhaps even bombarded severely.

From the few remaining BUFFs cast by Xue Dili, without them, he might not have returned injured but might have been killed.

He also brought back this particularly bad piece of information.

Xue Dili closed his eyes, linking all the information about this world in his mind.

Slaughter and eerie nights, time constantly resetting, ever-draining magic power, the World Consciousness unable to be contacted, and the false sky along with those magic-guided cannons spread across it.

This world seems deliberately designed as a place to cultivate gu poison, with each day’s time being a cycle of gu cultivation, and each reset intended to accumulate more power for the next cycle.

"It seems, I have found a breakthrough point." Xue Dili stretched out his hand, and a branch started to grow slowly in his palm.

"Divine Tree? You implanted this thing inside your body?" The young general was shocked, seeing for the first time someone so bold to implant the Divine Tree inside themselves, a feeling akin to Earth People learning someone implanted the Ebola virus into themselves for cultivation.

"That’s not the point. Now I will attempt to take control of this world’s Divine Tree through my own Divine Tree," Xue Dili said.

"Are you saying?" The young general was stunned suddenly.

"This world might be a world born upon a Divine Tree," Xue Dili directly expressed his hypothesis, "the entire planet is a Divine Tree, and these people are all living upon this gigantic Divine Tree, while the region we are in is a petri dish."

"Like a laboratory beaker cultivating bacteria."

If not for Eisen’s magic power being drawn every moment, if not for the young general crashing into the false sky, Xue Dili would not have such a bold conjecture.

But now, he decided to follow this hypothesis and continue, by rooting the Divine Tree, penetrating the earth, and reaching the "outside the world."

Only magic can counter magic, he decided to try. Anyway, even if he failed, it probably wouldn’t be a big deal.

Actually, besides the Divine Tree, if he still had a Modifier in hand, he could accomplish the takeover of this world’s permissions in a simpler way. According to his mother, the Violent Dragon God should have accompanied him this time. If it were a Violent Dragon God as his companion elder, perhaps there would be a better way.

But for now, he could only use this somewhat foolish plan.

Eisen wanted to speak but stopped. Although only half a day passed, in this half a day, he saw the two foreign mages accomplish feats far exceeding the intelligence previously gathered by him and his companions.

"What can I do?" The old man decided he had to do something nonetheless and stood up.

"Stay alive, survive tonight, and perhaps everything will change afterward." Xue Dili reminded him.
