Chapter 2723: Protective Spiritual Light of the Jade Tablet

And it doesn't stop there!

As the refining continued to deepen, Xia Duo unexpectedly perceived a piece of information out of thin air, informing him of the correct way to refine this Bright Treasure Mirror—

It requires the use of the three lights of the sun, moon, and stars to refine; relying solely on the Order Force is insufficient to complete the task.

Upon receiving this information, Xia Duo immediately stopped the refining. On one hand, this information came too strangely; it felt as if the treasure mirror had transmitted it to him, yet it also felt as if it had appeared in his heart out of nowhere. This unknown method of information transmission made him feel somewhat wary.

On the other hand, since this information hinted at the correct refining method, hiding in the Laboratory would likely make it impossible to complete the refining; he was not sure if simulated three lights of the sun, moon, and stars could complete the process.

It would be best to choose a suitable time to complete the refining using the naturally existing three lights of the sun, moon, and stars. However, come to think of it, the sun, moon, and stars of the Main Plane are not planets like those on Earth, but are highly likely projections of certain existences.

For example, the sun might be a projection of the Lord of Radiance, and the stars might be projections from other planes.

The efficacy of the Bright Treasure Mirror in converting divine water perhaps comes from the power of these projections; otherwise, relying solely on light that can also be simulated within a laboratory, it would likely be impossible to directly convert it into divine water with special effects!

Of course, this is just Xia Duo's speculation, because he currently cannot convert the three lights into divine water, but he is not sure if the Mages of the Eastern World can do it.

Perhaps it is possible!

It is equivalent to the hearts of the people not yet being won over before they are even ruled.

Using himself as a reference, Xia Duo soon saw a dense and comprehensive net, spreading out in all directions with himself as the center; this was the Order Network.

First is the Magic Aura; the aura of the Identity Token after refining is completely different from before. To the vast majority of Main Plane Mages, the latter is undoubtedly an ordinary object, while the former can already be considered a Magic Item.

……

In other words, in the eyes of the vast majority of Main Plane Mages, just a refining process turns an ordinary object into a Magic Item; that is truly a bit magical!

Looking at the Jade Tablet itself, the hollowed-out texture on the surface is still a mountain peak; this point has not changed at all, including the characters "Fangli Sanren" and "Liu Yizhu" that appear to be floating above it, which are also the same as before.

In the Eastern World, an Identity Token is just like an Identity Card on Earth. If it could be changed at will, wouldn't the so-called order be in chaos and become an empty phrase!

Of course, what was deduced this way is merely a Netheril Magic version of the Protective Spiritual Light; the original version might not be like this, it is just that the effects of the two are the same or similar.

The activation method is also very simple; it can be activated instantly as soon as one is conscious of it.

The Identity Token that Xia Duo currently holds represents the identity of "Fangli Sanren" in the Eastern World. Although the Protective Spiritual Light it activates is only the basic version, its defensive strength is enough to withstand the vast majority of attacks from ordinary people.

However, Xia Duo does not have much interest in a single Protective Spiritual Light spell; he wants to know more about the relationship between the Identity Token after refining and the Order Force.

Next, Xia Duo repeatedly explored the Identity Token, but everything seemed to end here; apart from displaying the identity, there was only a basic Protective Spiritual Light function.

Although such a process is not entirely necessary for him, as he has already completed the Order Cycle, out of regard for the importance of this experiment, he still went through the entire process completely.

Inside the Laboratory.

Including the more than 200,000 residents of the Great Xia Territory, everyone is within it, and with the spread of the Great Xia Code, this giant net is extending even further outside the Territory.

But if the Territory's order can be extended there in the future, the difficulty of assimilating that part of the Order Force will be far less than starting from zero.

……

And the Protective Spiritual Light of the Identity Token, even if only the subconscious perceives danger while the conscious mind is still ignorant, can be activated instantly; this point surpasses most defensive Magic Artifacts of the Main Plane.

It is just that those people outside the Territory are not bound by the Territory's order, so the Order Force they generate is difficult to be incorporated into the cycle and can only drift outside, uncontrolled.

Thinking about it, it is not without reason!

The timing for refining the Bright Treasure Mirror is not right at the moment, and Xia Duo did not continue to wait, but instead continued to explore the unrefined Identity Token.

Xia Duo is not sure if all Identity Tokens in the Eastern World are designed this way, or if the design of the "Fangli Sanren" token is relatively rough, but regardless, this is indeed a loophole.

After the Jade Tablet's Protective Spiritual Light is activated, it will also cause a response from the Magic Net of the surrounding environment, based on which the spell details of the Protective Spiritual Light can be deduced.

Therefore, Xia Duo speculated that it might be because an identity like "Fangli Sanren," which is already outside the system, has the opportunity to change, and it is only a name change, not a change of the identity itself.

This had already been introduced by Saint Nuode when he was in the Projection Plane, but at that time the other party was no longer in the Eastern World, and the Identity Token had lost its function and could not display any uses outside of its own body at all.

Therefore, the more advanced the mainstream defensive Magic Items of the Main Plane are, the more they must be designed to be constantly active or triggered passively, so as to avoid defensive loopholes or increase the number of defenses.

Xia Duo expanded his Arcane Fire, allowing his own Micro Magic Net to merge with the Magic Net in the external environment, and then performed spellcasting according to the steps recorded in the Ascension to Godhood scroll.

Although it looks the same as the usage process of a Magic Item, which can be activated in a single thought, if the user of a Magic Item loses consciousness or forgets how to operate it, then it obviously cannot be activated.

However, the Identity Token also has aspects that are inferior to Main Plane Magic Artifacts; that is, when the user loses consciousness, the Identity Token becomes completely useless.

Afterward, the Jade Tablet's light changed again, and at the same time, Xia Duo felt that he could no longer make changes to the Jade Tablet, or rather, if he wanted to change it, he would need to abandon the Jade Tablet first and then refine it again to gain an opportunity to change it.

Of course, only the three characters "Mu Xiude" could be changed. Xia Duo tentatively changed it, replacing "Mu Xiude" with the Elvish word for "Xia Duo".

But Xia Duo had a feeling, just as if he knew his hand could grasp objects, at this moment he also knew he could change the text on the Jade Tablet.

……

If it were an identity within the system like "Chunhua Palace Lecture," normally speaking, I am afraid there would not even be a chance to change the name, at least it is impossible to have the possibility of changing it by oneself.

……

Afterward, Xia Duo repeatedly researched the Identity Token to no avail, and he had once doubted Saint Nuode's words, but until now, having activated the Protective Spiritual Light, he could truly confirm that what Saint Nuode said was not false!

A single Order Force constitutes a cycle, and multiple Order Forces constitute a network. The Order Force represented by this Order Network today is the Great Xia Order Force that Xia Duo built with the Great Xia Code as the core.

"This—"
