Wizard of All Souls

Most people are instrumentalists.

principle?

It’s best to know, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know, as long as you can use it.

There is only one thing he wants to know now, Will asked the elf: "How to gather the soul of faith?"

As soon as this question appeared, the atmosphere immediately fell silent.

The corner of the elf's mouth slowly curled up, and he smiled and said, "Why should I tell?"

"This..." Will remembered the unpleasant experience he had with the elf just now, "That's over, I don't resent you in my heart, actually think about it, you have no obligation to help me, we are still good friends, aren't we?" ?”

"If I told you..."

"tell what?"

"I'm still in an imperfect state, and I can only achieve perfection when you die..."

"Yeah?"

Will's eyes gradually turned cold.

"Haha, don't worry, you should be able to see that I don't have any attack power, and I can't hurt you. It's better to say that you are the only one who can perceive my substance in this world. When you die After that, there will be no existence in this world that can perceive and interfere with me." The elf explained.

"Did I hear wrong?" Will almost doubted his hearing.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Phoenix?"

"I used to be a fourth-level powerhouse of the elves. I led the people to escape to this abandoned star field 130 million years ago. Unfortunately, I still couldn't escape the curse of the enemy. The people died one by one, and even I couldn't escape. The fate of death," said the elf.

"Are you an elf?"

"The phoenix is ​​just my disguise, and the elf is my real body."

"Oh." Will wasn't surprised.

"During the billions of years I was lingering on, I kept searching for a higher realm. After such a long time, I finally found it."

"Now you are a level five powerhouse? Can you explode?" Will asked immediately.

"What else is in your mind besides violence? Remember, realm does not represent power." The elf looked at Will with contempt.

"That is to say, you can't beat me?"

"You guy..." The elf looked depressed, "I should have known that it wouldn't make sense with a guy like you who only has justice and power in his mind, so let me put it in a simpler way."

"I'm coming."

Will watched the elf expectantly.

"The universe is made up of various rules..." Seeing Will's blank face, the elf decisively changed his words, "The universe is made up of various forces, like gravity, gravity..."

"I know this." Will is like a studious elementary school student, "the four basic forces of strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force and gravity, right? It is rumored that mastering the four fundamental forces is equivalent to controlling the universe. "

"...In short, the universe is composed of many forces, and I chose to integrate with one of them, becoming one of the basic forces that make up the universe." The elf had an expression of "do you understand?"

"The realm of 'harmony' described in Xiuxian novels?" Will was startled.

"What are you talking about? I've already explained it very simply, I don't even understand it and I don't know what to say." The elf said speechlessly.

"I understand." Will nodded.

The elf looked at Will fixedly, "Do you really understand?"

"certainly."

"Can you tell me what you understand?"

"Didn't you make it clear yourself?"

"...Okay." The little elf had already given up, "Anyway, for this reason, after you die, I will become a part of this world and become an eternal observer."

"Um?"

Will has a bunch of question marks over his head.

How did it draw this conclusion from what it just said? Is something missing?

But it doesn't matter.

"So I'm the key to hindering your advancement? You and I are sworn enemies?" Will couldn't help but took a few steps back, distanced himself from the elf.

"Everything is mortal. Ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years, one million years, or even one hundred million years are just a few fingers on the scale of the universe. I just need to silently watch you go to the end." Xiao said the elf.

"To put it bluntly, you can't interfere with the material world, you can't kill me at all, right?"

"Can we still have a good chat?"

"I'm relieved." Will breathed a sigh of relief, "So you won't help me become stronger, you won't teach me exercises, maybe you will frame me? Mislead me with words?"

"It depends on your mood." The elf sat down on Will's shoulder, "Whether you live or die, it doesn't affect me much in a sense, if you can accompany me to live until the end of the universe, it would be great? "

Will already understood what the elf was thinking, it was just—

"Does it really make sense to incarnate as part of the universe, to be an eternal observer?"

"In this world, the most perfect known existence is the universe itself. I am about to become a part of the universe. Do you think it is meaningless?" The elf asked back.

"I... I can't understand."

"If you can reach this level one day, you will understand."

"Maybe."

Will didn't want to continue talking about this topic with the elf.

He asked: "I don't know what to call you? You can't call 'Hello', 'You', 'That' all day long?"

"I am already a part of the universe, a force, a natural phenomenon, and the name I used to have no meaning to me." The elf looked into the distance calmly, "When you discover a new force When it comes to natural phenomena, how are they named?"

Will thought for a while and said, "It's usually named after the discoverer."

"So you can call me Will?"

"No, no, it's too embarrassing to have a pet named after me." Will waved his hand quickly.

"I'm your pet?" The elf was annoyed.

"You were in the form of a phoenix before, why not call you Phoenix."

"casual."

"...How about another name, Li Ergou?"

"casual."

"Forget it, it's still Phoenix."

It feels that the elf really doesn't care about the name, and Will doesn't tease each other anymore.

However, he still has one important question to confirm.

He looked straight at the elf and asked, "Are you male or female?"

The elf Phoenix is ​​a ten centimeter tall elf with pointed ears, fair skin, fiery red hair, red transparent wings, and an indistinguishable appearance.

"female?"

Will looked at the flat chest of the elf Phoenix, feeling a little puffed up again.

He stretched out his finger and poked at the elf Phoenix's chest, unexpectedly passing through the elf's body.

"It's useless, I can't interfere with you, and you can't interfere with me." The elf explained.

"Okay." Will withdrew his fingers depressedly, "So, are you male or female?"

"Is this kind of question still relevant now?"

"No?"

"You who have the ability to control cells, the gender change is just a thought, isn't it?"

"this……"

As Phoenix said, he can.

"There were only three of us who fled to this abandoned star field back then. The elves you know are all split from us." Phoenix said.

"So you're the mother?"

"You didn't listen to me?"

"Is it public?"

"Have you ever seen a male reproduce by himself?"

"... Treat you as a mother first." Will made a decision directly.

"Why do you care so much about gender? For beings that can change their appearance and body structure at will, can make people pregnant, and can conceive life themselves, does gender have any meaning?"

"got used to."
