Chapter 54: Prophetic Talismans? High-Dimensional Script!

The twelve Prophetic Talismans left by the Huaijiang Witch were a special script with far more information density than Chinese characters.

From Li Li Boyang's perspective, he did not even deign to compare these Prophetic Talismans with ordinary writing.

Because the gap between the two was simply too vast; there was no basis for comparison whatsoever.

According to the developmental laws of Earth's history, after humanity developed writing, it has always attempted to use characters to generalize and describe nature.

Thus, in this process, a universal new system capable of generalizing things was born.

This new system is called "numbers," a symbolic system distinct from writing.

Through the symbolic system of numbers, humanity can describe natural phenomena and laws more rationally and objectively, even deriving corresponding formulas to generalize them.

Square root extraction, surplus and deficit methods, the method of successive subtraction, the Great Expansion method for finding unity...

The Pythagorean theorem, formulas for the area of a circle, formulas for the volume of a sphere, the mass-energy formula...

Pi, gravitational acceleration, the golden ratio, Planck's constant, Euler's number...

These formulas, built on mathematical foundations and models, can often transcend the barriers of written communication to become a universal language between civilizations.

Whether you admit it or not, these values and formulas, which are objective summaries of natural laws, exist right there; the only difference is the method of expression.

And according to Li Li Boyang's research, these twelve Prophetic Talismans simultaneously possess the characteristics of both writing and numbers.

They are more complex than pure numbers, yet possess more universality than ordinary writing.

It feels like a mixture of the humanities and the sciences.

It is as if, while you are writing characters, you are actually inscribing a special formula.

Had Li Li Boyang's science grades in his past life not been quite good, he would have been utterly unable to analyze the essence of these twelve Prophetic Talismans.

Even so, the only Prophetic Talismans Li Li Boyang could truly understand and apply were two.

One of them was the Prophetic Talisman that had originally helped Li Li Boyang expel evil spirits and nurture his Primordial Spirit.

Since the aphorisms constituting this Talisman were mostly related to souls, evil spirits, spirituality, and most non-material attributes, Li Li Boyang named it the 【Spiritual Talisman】.

As for the other Prophetic Talisman?

It was accidentally analyzed by Li Li Boyang while he was compiling breathing techniques and exploring the path of cultivation.

Since the aphorisms within it involved a series of energy-related special attributes such as primordial qi, explosion, mass-energy, circulation, distribution, and transformation, Li Li Boyang named it the 【Energy Talisman】.

"This doesn't seem quite the same as the Talisman you drew last time, does it?"

Only after Li Li Boyang finished the enlightenment class did Xi Luo frown and jump to his side.

At this very moment, Li Li Jingshu was sitting cross-legged in the very center of the courtyard, curiously examining the complex Talisman beneath her feet that resembled a formation.

Or more accurately, it was a Talisman existing in the form of a "formation."

The several key nodes constituting the entire formation were glazed treasure beads forged by Li Li Boyang from five-colored stones.

These glazed treasure beads contained the qi of earth demons, capable of simulating the operation of mountains and rivers, actively drawing out the demon qi buried beneath the earth.

As for that thick, blood-red ink used specifically to outline the Prophetic Talisman?

It was a special "blood ink" mixed by Li Li Boyang using his own essence blood, cinnabar, beast blood, herbs, and mineral slag, blended in specific proportions.

This was not because Li Li Boyang did not want to use simpler materials to set up the formation.

It was simply that after repeated divination by the Destiny Bone Armor, these were already the best materials available to Li Li Boyang.

The formation diagram outlined with this "blood ink" could maximize the power of the Prophetic Talisman.

"Mm, I modified and simplified the 【Energy Talisman】..."

Hearing Xi Luo's question, Li Li Boyang replied without even looking up.

Right now, Li Li Boyang had to carefully outline that extremely complex Prophetic Talisman on one hand.

On the other hand, he had to occasionally rotate the Destiny Bone Armor to divine whether the actual effect had any deviation, leaving him truly no mental space to attend to Xi Luo.

"Simplified?"

"How do I feel that this Talisman is far more complex than the original version?"

Unconsciously raising an eyebrow, Xi Luo, whose curiosity had been piqued, continued to press.

"Have you heard of 'The Great Dao is simple'?"

"That 【Energy Talisman】 is the Great Dao, and I obviously cannot achieve the state of extreme simplicity."

"I currently only need the aphorisms within the 【Energy Talisman】 regarding domination and transformation, so I must separate this part of the aphorisms out from the 【Energy Talisman】."

Pausing slightly in his tone, Li Li Boyang explained calmly.

"Actually, once these aphorisms are separated out individually, they can no longer be considered the 【Energy Talisman】."

"This is a brand new Talisman, born from the 【Energy Talisman】."

"Before my knowledge reaches the realm of the Huaijiang Witch, I cannot simplify these aphorisms to the level of the 【Energy Talisman】."

This statement sounds complex, but if one truly thinks according to scientific logic, it is simply applying a formula.

Einstein's mass-energy equation sits right there; it is as if the ready-made formula and answer are already present.

Li Li Boyang only needed to work backwards from this equation to derive the formula he required.

Of course, Li Li Boyang's current separation does not reach that level.

What he is doing currently is, at best, deriving the formulas for the legs and hypotenuse from the Pythagorean theorem.

Things like calculating area, trigonometric functions, the law of cosines, and the like are obviously beyond what Li Li Boyang at this current stage could even pretend to touch.

Precisely because of insufficient knowledge.

Even with the Destiny Bone Armor, this cheat artifact, there was no way to simplify these aphorisms in one go to the level of the 【Energy Talisman】.

Adding feet to a snake might not be the case, but turning simplicity into complexity is certain.

A top student can solve a difficult problem with a single formula.

In the hands of a poor student, being able to calculate the final answer is already very good; one should not then demand the calculation process be concise and clear.

"So, what exactly are you planning to do?"

The more she looked, the more dizzy and confused she felt, so Xi Luo decisively stopped looking at this formation.

After all, she had no intention of seeking deep understanding like Li Li Boyang, so why waste this effort?

When the day comes that Li Li Boyang simplifies this Talisman and Incantation to the level of an Energy Talisman, she can simply use it directly.

In terms of mindset, Xi Luo, who had always been a poor student, muttered to herself.

"What for?"

"Of course, to solve the problem with the Eldest Young Lady."

"If everything goes smoothly, the Eldest Young Lady might no longer have to worry about her insufficient primal energy in the future."
