Chapter 3057: Two Types of Tokens, Holy City Gateway
Inside the laboratory of the Seventon Mage Association.
Xia Duo first briefly checked the environment here; compared to Netheril in the Main Plane, the Seventon Mage Association, with its longer development time, was undoubtedly more reasonable and advanced in terms of laboratory configuration.
It was no worse than the standard laboratory Xia Duo had brought back from the Red Heart Alliance, but he did not need the equipment in the laboratory today; he only needed to interact with the Holy City itself.
Regarding the specific Principles of this interaction, Xia Duo did not know for the time being, but it could be inferred that it was likely not the Holy City itself, but some special rule existing within the scope of the Holy City.
This rule could manifest corresponding space-time states based on a person's cognition.
The reason why Xia Duo felt he might already possess the so-called token was mainly based on two points: one was that he had once come into contact with the Mage Nuode in the Projection Plane who had personally been to the Eastern World, and he had even materialized treasures from the Eastern World.
In addition, there were at least tens of thousands of Easterners in the Main Plane, and Xia Duo himself had come into contact with quite a few; the distant ones included Mu Yan, who was a pure Easterner, born in the Eastern World, and had drifted to the Main Plane due to an accident.
There were also the Easterners Xia Duo had come into contact with in Cormanthor; although those Easterners were actually descendants of travelers from the Eastern World in the past and had even been mostly assimilated by the Elves, one could still establish a connection with the Eastern World through their ancestors.
It was not just this time; during his previous few visits to the Kingdom of Radiance, Xia Duo had been observing to see if there were any Reincarnators with Eastern faces, but there were none.
Perhaps it was because no Easterners from the Main Plane lived in the Elf World for a long time or held Faith in the Lord of Radiance, but Netheril also had no Easterners, and even if ancestor worship was deep in their bones, they would still be influenced by what they saw and heard.
Of course, confidence was one thing, but the specific implementation process owed much to his previous research on the security protection mechanism of the Spirit Thought Network; without those ready-made cases, if he had to start research from scratch, I am afraid it would not have been achievable in a short time.
Besides the "token" of the connection with Easterners, Pulitatisi might also be a token; Xia Duo had come into contact with him in the Main Plane, and he came from the Holy Golden Dragon Empire in a foreign land.
This was reasonable.
Although he was completely unprepared for interacting with the Holy City after arriving in the Kingdom of Radiance, the Gateway equipment was ready-made; the Tower of Time had undertaken all the Gateway equipment orders for the Northland Alliance, and he always had a batch stored in his Personal Space.
Right now, he only prepared to communicate with the Holy City about his cognition of the Eastern World and the Holy Golden Dragon Empire; the details of being a Reincarnator must be kept strictly hidden.
This, of course, also included the Holy Golden Dragon Empire.
According to an ordinary person's thinking, there shouldn't be any Golden Dragon Reincarnators in the Kingdom of Radiance, but who knows what the actual situation is?
However, he would absolutely never take the initiative to reveal this point; perhaps the Lord of Radiance had long ago noticed the process of his transmigration, but as long as the other party didn't pierce this layer of window paper, he would pretend that nothing had happened.
As for whether the Holy Golden Dragon Empire had gods, judging from the memories of Saville living there for five years, there should be no gods; under such circumstances, it was entirely possible for the Kingdom of Radiance to have Golden Dragon Reincarnators from there.
In actual operation, Xia Duo used more than one layer of Gateway, but more than ten layers, filtering and screening layer by layer to ensure information security.
This was also the fundamental reason why he, a Mage of the Arcane Magic System, could defeat the Psionic masters of the Zhamu Dasi Psionic Magic System.
Benefiting from his many past experiences in the Projection Plane, as well as his experience and inspiration regarding memory and consciousness on Earth, Xia Duo's research in this area combined the best of both worlds, which could be called a master's achievement.
Perhaps the Golden Dragons there had never heard of the name of the Lord of Radiance, but as long as their Souls were not actively guided by their gods, after their Souls arrived at the Licheng Weimian, it was entirely possible for them to be attracted to the Kingdom of Radiance to reincarnate.
In fact, he was more inclined to believe that the Lord of Radiance also could not see through his background; gods were indeed very powerful, but gods were not omnipotent; if they were truly omnipotent, he wouldn't be bothering with the Arcane path advancement and would have long since found a way to achieve Ascension to Godhood.
However, Xia Duo had not seen a single Reincarnator with an Eastern face; unless they reincarnated directly as a Divine Envoy, the vast majority of Reincarnators mostly maintained their appearance from before they died, just in a youthful state.
Of course, besides the connection with the Eastern World and the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, Xia Duo might also possess the most representative "token": himself!
After all, having Faith in the Lord of Radiance and ancestor worship were not in conflict; believing in one more thing was not bad either. Xia Duo learned from the Projection Plane that there should be a large number of ancestral gods in the Eastern World, and having Faith in the Lord of Radiance was definitely not a taboo for Easterners in the Main Plane.
……
……
So, if one wanted to conduct limited interaction, it was actually adding a "Gateway" between the individual and the Holy City, only allowing limited information to pass through, which actually achieved the effect of opening part of the mind.
Also, why say that the Kingdom of Radiance actually still had some Reincarnators who had never even heard of the Lord of Radiance before they died; they didn't reject those people, so why did they specifically reject Easterners?
In order to be able to deliver goods at the first opportunity when the Alliance needed them, and then collect payment, Xia Duo had become quite proficient at this kind of left-hand-to-right-hand business.
What did this situation indicate?
The current batch of ready-made Gateways also facilitated him; with slight adjustments, they could be used for the subsequent Holy City interaction experiments.
Based on Xia Duo's understanding of the Kingdom of Radiance, it should not be.
Just like what the Divine Envoy Waiqi had just said, as long as one's heart was not guarded against the Kingdom of Radiance, interaction would naturally occur, and if the affinity was similar, they would attract each other.
Currently, besides those who firmly held Faith in the Lord of Radiance before they died, a considerable portion of the residents of the Kingdom of Radiance had unintentionally matched the path of the Lord of Radiance and were then attracted to the Kingdom of Radiance.
After all, consciousness information contained too much potential related information; he would rather have incomplete information when interacting with the Holy City than expose information he did not want to reveal.
Based on the rules of the Licheng Weimian that Xia Duo had explored so far, theoretically, it was impossible for the Kingdom of Radiance to have all the Reincarnators from all Material Planes in the Universe who matched the path of the Lord of Radiance.
Xia Duo viewed the interaction between the individual and the Holy City as a special Mind Link, which did not need to rely on specific Spells, but by borrowing intangible rules; as long as one was within the scope of the Holy City, one could interact through a non-restrictive method.
And now, those knowledge and experiences had become his true confidence in daring to attempt limited interaction with the Holy City.
……
……
Did the Kingdom of Radiance reject the Souls of Easterners?
Then the answer was obvious: either Easterners were uniformly placed in other layers of the Holy City, or the Souls of Easterners had long been reserved and would be received by their ancestral gods after death.
Regardless of which situation it was, for Xia Duo, it meant that a brand-new world had opened up.
With the help of the connection with Pulitatisi, Xia Duo could be considered to have established a link with the Holy Golden Dragon Empire; perhaps he would be able to see the layer of the Holy City where Golden Dragon Reincarnators existed.
