Chapter 222: is 'Planes and Stars, Perhaps They Are the Same Thing'

Just a title, it firmly caught Luosen's attention, and he immediately looked at the content.

"Plane-traveling mages have existed since ancient times, and high-circle mages have always known of the existence of multiple planes, yet no one can clearly say what a plane actually is."

"After hundreds of years of research, I have constantly observed the starry skies of various planes and conducted as precise a mutual comparison as possible."

"I have discovered that all known planes most likely share the same sun!"

"The mutual distance between planes is not as far as plane-traveling mages imagine, of course, nor is it near. But I estimate it should be on the order of hundreds of millions of kilometers."

Looking at these introductions, Luosen's heart gave a violent jolt, and he continued reading downward.

What follows is the detailed argumentation process, a series of star charts paired with various calculations.

Because the data really isn't precise, the conclusion reached is not especially convincing, but it is indeed highly innovative.

At the end, the author also indulged in fantasy, proposing the idea of forgoing phase transfer via magic rings, directly crafting a powerful magical device, flying out of the planet, crossing the star realm to reach another plane.

Luosen was practically engrossed.

He felt that the book's conclusion was probably nine out of ten correct, and moreover very easy to verify—just check the solar spectra of the various planes.

Each star's spectrum is unique; if the spectra match, the planes naturally share a star system.

"If that's true, a single star system actually contains so many life-bearing planets, and they're linked together by magic rings—how lively!"

At the same time, there is a sense of urgency, for in this situation, if any world develops interstellar voyaging power, it would be a crushing blow to the other worlds.

It can be said outright that when an interstellar spaceship of one world appears in the sky of another world, it means that all mortals of that world will become slaves.

At that moment, Naya walked back and said: "How is it, have you finished reading?"

Luosen nodded: "This is a very interesting book, but the idea is indeed quite impractical—actually thinking of crafting a star-realm magical device to break free of the earth and rush into space."

Naya nodded: "Indeed so. But the starry sky is truly captivating, so many young people in the Arts Department have believed this book's heresy, trying every means to craft a star-realm magical device, and naturally they all ended in failure."

Luosen felt secretly surprised, but kept a calm face: "It's good to try; who knows, maybe it will succeed."

Saying that, he continued looking for books.

Soon he found a book titled Study of Human Limits; it is very substantial, basically lacking theory, consisting entirely of very detailed experimental records.

It records not only physical limits, but also spiritual limits.

Most of it was gleaned by the Nawat Republic in its repeated battles with demons; a smaller part was obtained from the demons themselves.

As for how the demons obtained human limits, that goes without saying.

In short, this book is extremely valuable.

Luosen immediately flipped through it page by page, taking fifteen minutes to finish it.

With less than ten minutes left, he chose to browse the record of the Nawat Republic's sole encounter with a 19th‑level demon.

It is also an extremely thick volume, almost perfectly revealing all the details of that battle, which could be called a world‑ending war.

The name of the great 19th‑level demon, Gao Mi Lei, is also deeply etched in Luosen's mind.

Luosen finished reading as quickly as he could, then pointed to Study of Human Limits and said: "I choose to copy this one."

Naya nodded in agreement.

On the other side, Qi Ge Rui La Na also made her selection and sent it to be copied.

Then the three left the Hall of Wisdom.

While walking up the spiral corridor leading to the surface, Luosen suddenly heard Naya's telepathic message.

"Luosen Mage, it's clear that you are very eager for magical knowledge."

Luosen kept a calm expression and secretly replied: "Of course."

"Perhaps you could consider staying in Nawat. If you nod, we will send people to bring over your whole family, and all of Nawat's magical knowledge will be open to you."

Luosen hadn't expected such an invitation, but he had already made up his mind, so he politely declined: "Naya Mage, thank you very much for your esteem."

"But I value not only my family, but also my subjects. I cannot betray my promise to them."

Naya's face showed an expression of 'as expected': 'I understand and respect your choice; once the book copying is finished, please return quickly.'

These words carry a deeper meaning.

Luosen immediately nodded: 'I will, Naya Mage, and thank you very much for your reminder.'

While speaking, the three arrived at the surface.

Before they could even steady themselves, Naya's communication device received an urgent message; she glanced at it and her brows immediately furrowed slightly.

Luosen immediately asked: "What's the problem, Naya Mage?"

"'It's nothing major; I have to attend an emergency meeting. Take my Black Stone vehicle back to Tranquil Manor, stay put and don't venture out lightly—everything can wait until I return.'"

Having said that, she personally put Luosen and the other person onto a Black Stone vehicle, while she herself boarded another Black Stone vehicle and hurried away.
