Hearing Lin Yu's words, Vlamay's eyes flickered slightly.
A moment later, she sighed faintly, "I understand what you mean, but isn't this a good thing?"
"It's not that it's bad," Lin Yu shook his head and explained seriously, "I know you long for the world I spoke of, but systems and political structures are tied to their era. Right now, you are still fighting the Demon King and require centralized monarchy to overcome the crisis."
"Power possesses exclusivity and restrictiveness."
"If the ruling power discovers something that could shake their position and foundation, Vlamay, what do you think they would do?"
Vlamay was silent for a long time, then sighed faintly, "Even with the Demon Race as a Powerful Enemy outside, they would probably suppress this thing first..."
Lin Yu nodded, "Exactly. Therefore, awakening too early is detrimental to the entire Human civilization. Instead, it will cause huge upheaval and result in countless unnecessary sacrifices."
"If you truly wish to develop natural science, I can give you a suggestion: first, promote Magic according to your previous ideal, and then establish a separate discipline among the more intellectually advanced mages to explore natural Truth."
"As for the name of this discipline, I have one—how about Alchemy?"
"This way, natural science will be temporarily bound to Magic, and it shouldn't cause any major ripples in the short term. At most, it will plant a seed for a future awakening in this world."
"As for widespread popularization and development, that is something for when Humans enter an era of peace after defeating the Demon King..."
Vlamay pondered for a long time before slowly nodding, "What you said makes a lot of sense. At least right now, I can't think of how to refute it."
Lin Yu said with a smile, "You don't need to worry too much about it. What I said is just one possibility, at most a reference. How to implement it specifically depends on how you, the decision-maker, carry it out."
"..."
Vlamay fell into deep thought again.
After a long while, she let out a long breath and smiled at Lin Yu, "I currently lack the experience to solve this problem, but whether it's forced promotion or planting a seed, both require the wisdom from other worlds in your memory."
"Will you... be willing to teach me?"
"Don't worry, I won't take it for free. You now possess the ability to read a Grimoire. If you are willing, I can teach you all the Magic knowledge I have mastered!"
Oh?
Lin Yu's eyes lit up, then he said, "Agreed, but there's one thing I must say upfront: I was not a researcher in that world, so my grasp of the related knowledge isn't comprehensive..."
Vlamay was not surprised and asked softly, "Can you not even provide a general direction?"
"That's not it."
"Then it's settled!"
"Good!"
Lin Yu excitedly jumped up from the Stone Stool, "It will take some time to organize that knowledge. For now, teach me your Magic knowledge first!"
...
...
Ten minutes later, in the forest about five li away from the two-story wooden building.
Lin Yu sat cross-legged on the cleared ground, looking at the orange hair beauty standing before him with an encouraging expression, and asked hesitantly:
"Vlamay, are you sure you want me to do this?"
"Of course!"
Vlamay said with a smile, "I know your Physique is special and you can forcibly absorb Magic Power, but that absorption can only be considered transportation; it cannot truly turn the Magic Power into your own use."
"What I am teaching you now is the most orthodox Cultivation method in this world."
"It allows you to absorb energy from food and the atmosphere and convert it into Magic Power that carries the characteristics of your own Spiritual Power."
"This kind of Magic Power is different from the Magic Power you absorb; it has a property of rapid recovery. You can understand it as the difference between a water bag and water. Water, once used, is gone, but a water bag, once empty, can quickly recover and replenish."
"The so-called Magic Power Cultivation is essentially a process of constantly expanding the water bag..."
Lin Yu understood, "I get it, it's about the Mana bar and the Mana bar's maximum capacity!"
Vlamay nodded, "Although I don't know what you are talking about, as long as it helps you understand, that's fine."
Lin Yu blinked and hesitated, "However, this method of capturing and vitalizing Magic Power using Spiritual Power..."
Vlamay frowned, "Is there a problem?"
Lin Yu sighed, "Actually, I tried doing this before, but the result wasn't very pleasant."
"Oh?" Vlamay became interested, "Show me quickly! Maybe I can find a solution!"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, are you looking down on me?"
"Then alright..."
Seeing Vlamay insist, Lin Yu had no choice but to close his eyes and absorb Magic Power according to the method she taught.
Last time, he didn't have a sufficient understanding of himself, so he couldn't control the intensity.
Being a bit more cautious this time, it should be fine, right?
Lin Yu thought this way while carefully extending his Spiritual Power tendrils, splitting them again and again.
"Boom!"
Instantly, The Wind and Clouds Change Color, and a terrifying consciousness that was hard to describe erupted, soaring straight into the sky, stirring the Clouds into turmoil and shaking the forest floor.
"Rumble!"
Amidst the violent shaking, cracks appeared in the ground beneath Lin Yu, and the towering giant trees around him collapsed with a crash.
... I knew it!
Seeing this scene, which resembled a natural disaster, Lin Yu sighed inwardly and immediately retracted his consciousness, which gradually made the Phenomenon before his eyes disappear.
As the dust settled, Vlamay stood quietly beside Lin Yu, enveloped by three layers of shimmering Magic Shields on her body, staring at the Young Man sitting cross-legged before her with a slightly stunned expression.
"Sigh, more destruction. It took Rumble Rock a month to repair the ground that cracked last time. This time the commotion was smaller; with your strength, you should be able to repair it easily!"
"...Hey?"
"Vlamay?"
Lin Yu extended his right hand and waved it in front of Vlamay's eyes. Seeing that her eyeballs could still follow his palm unconsciously, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and spread his hands helplessly, "I told you, the result wasn't very pleasant..."
Was this a matter of pleasantness?!
Vlamay snapped back to her senses, rubbing her Eyebrow Center with her Slender fingers, barely maintaining her final composure.
As the primary victim, no one knew the terror of that consciousness better than her.
If that consciousness had targeted her instead of Magic Power, she probably would have been instantly crushed into dust.
"I finally understand why you wanted to run so far away..."
Vlamay suppressed the shock in her heart and stared at Lin Yu, "Lin, who exactly are you?"
"A visitor from another world."
"Other than that?"
"Hmm, how should I put it? In terms of identity, I didn't lie to you, but before leaving my world and entering this one, some things happened to me."
"What things?"
"Simply put, I became a god."
"..."
Vlamay looked at Lin Yu silently. After a long time, she slowly said, "You mean, you are a god from another world?"
Lin Yu nodded frankly, "Although those weren't the exact words, understanding it that way isn't wrong."
After speaking, he looked at the still-silent Vlamay and joked, "What, did I scare you?"
Vlamay looked at him for a while and nodded, "A little, yes."
"Really?" Lin Yu sized her up, "I thought you looked quite calm!"
"It's just an appearance!"
Vlamay shook her head with a complex expression.
Although she was very reluctant to believe it, that power just now was definitely not fake.
Just releasing Spiritual Power was enough to stir the sky and affect the weather.
Whoever controlled this kind of power could be called a god—and not like the Goddess who hasn't appeared for a long time, but a True God standing before her in the Current World!
"So, Doctor..."
Lin Yu asked, blinking, "Is there a cure for my condition?"
