Chapter 758 - 226: Seed of the Virtual, Root of Reality
The idea took root in his mind.
Cang Fu decided to give it a try and see what differences exist between the operating principles of Monster World and reality.
Sitting back at his desk, he began looking through the inheritance information of the Green Wood Clan.
Back then, when connecting to the Star Network, the Green Wood Clan uploaded a vast amount of historical data and inheritance information to the Star Network database to preserve their records.
There are detailed natural technology records available on it.
After identity verification, the inheritance information was listed in front of Cang Fu.
[Plant Guide]:
Inheritance Technology Introduction: By establishing a spiritual connection with plants, control their growth rate and form, which can be used to rapidly cultivate spiritual plants or repair damaged ones.
[Water Flow Guidance]:
Inheritance Technology Introduction: Guide the direction of water flow and adjust the distribution of water sources, which can be used to create artificial rivers or lakes.
[Wind Language Skill]:
Inheritance Technology Introduction: By mimicking natural wind sounds and interacting with atmospheric energy, control localized air currents used for climate regulation or pollution dispersion.
[Ecological Weaving]:
Inheritance Technology Introduction: Combine the traits of different plants to create new hybrid species with special functions (such as illumination, air purification, etc.).
Natural material synthesis, energy seed cultivation, natural rune engraving, green plant ecological network construction, climate balance... Besides functional technologies, the "Magic" category in the inheritance information was the focus that Cang Fu reviewed.
This category recorded various powerful abilities used by the ancestors of the Green Wood Clan.
It is also the core technology of harnessing nature.
In today’s era, even though their generation has detailed technical information, they can no longer master such abilities.
Mainly due to two influencing factors.
The first factor is the decline of life strength.
Where life strength refers to the individual’s affinity with natural energy, spiritual strength, and the ability of the body to bear energy.
The ancestors naturally had high life strength, able to easily absorb and control spiritual energy.
And casting magic requires strong spiritual power to guide energy; modern Green Wood Clan members generally have weaker spiritual power and cannot complete complex energy manipulation.
The content in the database details a series of impacts brought by the decline of life strength.
The second factor is environmental impact.
If individual life is the carrier of energy.
Then the ambient energy in the air is the core driving force for casting natural magic, a never-ending source of energy.
Energy exists in the air, soil, water sources, and organisms, and serves as the bridge connecting individuals with nature.
However, Earth is a world with weak spiritual energy, and the energy or spiritual energy content in the air is extremely low.
Early industrialization, environmental pollution, and destruction of the natural ecosystem are reasons why there are large amounts of pollutant particles in the air, and the thinning of spiritual energy coupled with pollution results in insufficient energy sources needed for magic, unable to support complex energy manipulation.
The explanation in the inheritance information library for this factor is that each magic requires reaching a certain ability threshold to activate.
The casting of a natural magic, the ancestors would release 1 point of spiritual power to outline the guiding elements’ trajectory, and the next second, the content of the magic could be generated.
But performing the same magic on Earth requires releasing 100 points of spiritual power and then starts loading a progress bar.
The so-called progress bar refers to the time taken for ambient elements in the air to converge.
In a world with weak spiritual energy, the speed of energy convergence is very slow.
During this time, one still has to continually release spiritual power to maintain the framework of the magic, ensuring that energy continues to converge according to one’s intentions.
Often, the spellcasters collapse from physical exhaustion before the magic is fully outlined.
Cang Fu found a đoạn video in the database, titled: Natural Magic "Growth Guiding Technique" Experimental Testing.
He opened the video, and the time in the top right corner records it as 120 years ago.
The screen shows a Green Wood Clan male with his upper body bare, and various tubes inserted into his body.
In front of the man, a flowerpot was placed with a budding "Green Glow Grass" inside.
Before the experiment started, an elder came to the front of the camera:
"Today, we are conducting a rather important experiment, the practical test of the Growth Guiding Technique. During previous tests, we failed because of prolonged spell duration, so this time, we’ve decided to continue with a different method... The Growth Guiding Technique is one of the most basic natural magic spells inherited by the Green Wood Clan. Our ancestors could easily perform it, ripening a plant in just moments, but with the decline in environment and life strength, this spell has become extremely difficult... ."
As he spoke, the elder turned to the man, continuing:
"This is our experimenter. He possesses a relatively high spiritual energy affinity within our clan and is one of the few still able to perceive weak spiritual energy in the clan. To ensure he can maintain the framework of the spell during the experiment, we have designed this energy-assisting system for him."
The scene shifted to the tubes on the man’s body, and the scholar explained:
"These tubes will deliver purified natural energy, including spiritual power consumption replenishment and spiritual uplifting functions, ensuring our experiment can be successfully completed."
After the introduction, the experiment officially began.
The experimenter in the picture raised his hands toward the Green Glow Grass, green light faintly emanating from his hands.
The scene froze at this moment.
Cang Fu summoned the progress bar and was startled.
He then decisively dragged the video to the end.
In the video’s concluding screen, the Green Glow Grass placed in front of the experimenter successfully grew 3.3 centimeters.
