Chapter 7

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Flamme's eyes moved 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 not good." Lin Yu shook his head and explained seriously: "I know you yearn for the world I mentioned, but systems and polities are all epochal. Now you are fighting the Demon King and need monarchical centralization to tide over the crisis."

"Power is exclusive and exclusionary."

"If those in power find that something will shake their ruling status and foundation, Flamme, what do you think they will do?"

Flamme was silent for a long time, and said faintly: "Even if there is a strong enemy like the demon race outside, I guess they would have to suppress this thing first..."

Lin Yu nodded and said: "That's right, so premature awakening is harmful and not beneficial to the entire human civilization; instead, it will cause huge turmoil and cause countless unnecessary sacrifices."

"If you really want to develop natural science, I can give you a suggestion: first promote magic according to your previous ideals, and then establish separate disciplines among the more advanced mages to explore natural truth."

"As for the name of this discipline, I have it: how about Alchemy?"

"In this way, natural science will be temporarily bound to magic, and it shouldn't cause any waves in the short term, at most burying a seed of future awakening in this world."

"As for large-scale popularization and development, that's a matter for the peaceful era after defeating the Demon King..."

Flamme pondered for a long time, nodded slowly and said: "What you said makes a lot of sense; at least I can't think of how to refute it right now."

Lin Yu smiled and said: "You don't have to care too much; what I said is just one possibility, at most as a reference. How to implement it specifically depends on you, the decision-maker."

"..."

Flamme fell into deep thought again.

After a long time, she let out a long sigh, looked at Lin Yu and smiled: "I don't have enough experience to solve this problem yet, but whether it's forced promotion or burying seeds, I need the wisdom from the other world in your memory."

"Are you... willing to teach me?"

"Don't worry, I won't take it for nothing. Now that you have the ability to read magic books, if you are willing, I can teach you all the magic knowledge I have mastered!"

Oh?

Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and then he said: "Okay, but I have to say one thing in advance: I am not a researcher in that world, so the relevant knowledge I have mastered is not comprehensive..."

Flamme was not surprised and asked softly: "Is it impossible to just give a general direction?"

"That's not it."

"Then it's a deal!"

"Good!"

Lin Yu jumped up from the stone stool excitedly: "It takes some time to organize this knowledge; for now, teach me your magic knowledge first!"

Ten minutes later, in the forest about five miles away from the wooden pavilion.

Lin Yu sat cross-legged on the cleared ground, looking at the orange-haired beauty in front of him who had an encouraging face, and asked hesitantly:

"Flamme, are you sure you want me to do this?"

"Of course!"

Flamme smiled and said: "I know your constitution is special and you can forcibly absorb magic, but that kind of absorption can only be considered transportation and cannot truly make magic your own."

"And what I am teaching you now is the most orthodox cultivation method in this world."

"It can allow you to absorb energy from food and the atmosphere and transform it into magic with your own spiritual power characteristics."

"This kind of magic is different from the magic you absorb; it has a property of rapid recovery. You can understand it as the difference between a water bag and water. Water is used up when it's used, while a water bag can recover and replenish rapidly after it shrivels."

"The so-called magic cultivation is actually the process of constantly expanding the water bag..."

Lin Yu understood: "I understand, it's just the blue bar and the blue bar limit!"

Flamme nodded: "Although I don't know what you are talking about, as long as it helps you understand, it's fine."

Lin Yu blinked and hesitated: "However, this cultivation method of capturing magic with spiritual power and activating it..."

Flamme frowned: "Is there a problem?"

Lin Yu sighed: "Actually, I tried doing this before, but the result was a bit unpleasant."

"Oh?" Flamme became interested, "Show it to me quickly, maybe I can find a solution!"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, are you looking down on me?"

"Alright then..."

Seeing Flamme so insistent, Lin Yu had no choice but to close his eyes and absorb magic according to the method she taught.

Last time he didn't have enough cognition of himself, so he couldn't control the strength well.

If he was more cautious this time, it should be fine, right?

Lin Yu thought so while cautiously extending the spiritual power tentacles he had split and split again.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, and a terrifying consciousness that was indescribable in words gushed out, rushing straight into the sky, stirring the clouds in the sky and shaking the forest.

"Boom boom boom!"

Amidst the violent shaking, cracks appeared on the ground beneath Lin Yu, and the towering giant trees around collapsed one after another.

... I knew it!

Seeing this scene that was like a natural disaster, Lin Yu sighed in his heart and immediately gathered his consciousness, which then gradually eliminated the vision before him.

After the smoke and dust dissipated, Flamme stood quietly beside Lin Yu, her body covered by three layers of flowing magic shields, looking at the youth sitting cross-legged before her with a slightly dull expression.

"Sigh, caused destruction again. The cracked ground last time took Longlongyan a month to repair. This time the commotion is smaller; with your strength, you should be able to repair it easily!"

"—Hey?"

"Flamme?"

Lin Yu extended his right hand and waved it in front of Flamme's eyes. Seeing that her eyeballs could still turn unconsciously with his palm, he breathed a sigh of relief and spread his hands helplessly:

"I told you, the result wasn't very pleasant..."

Is this a question of pleasant or not?!

Flamme came back to her senses, her slender fingers rubbing her eyebrows, barely maintaining her final expression management.

As the first victim, no one knew better than her the terrifying nature of the consciousness just now.

If this consciousness was targeting her instead of magic, it could probably crush her into powder in an instant.

"I finally know why you ran so far..."

Flamme endured the shock in her heart, staring at Lin Yu and saying: "Lin, who exactly are you?"

"A visitor from another world."

"Anything else?"

"Well, how should I put it? In terms of identity, I didn't lie to you, but after leaving my world and before entering this world, some things happened to me."

"What happened?"

"Simply put, I became a god."

"..."

Flamme looked at Lin Yu silently, and after a long time, she said slowly: "Are you saying that you are a god from another world?"

Lin Yu nodded calmly: "Although those weren't the exact words, understanding it that way is fine."

After speaking, he looked at Flamme who was still silent and joked: "What, scared you?"

Flamme looked at him for a while and nodded: "A little bit."

"Is that so?" Lin Yu sized her up and said, "I think you are clearly very calm!"

"Just a facade!"

Flamme shook her head with a complex expression.

Although she was very unwilling to believe it, the power just now definitely couldn't be fake.

Just releasing spiritual power could stir the sky and affect the weather.

No matter who controlled this kind of power, it could be called a god, and it was a true god who could descend to the human world and stand before her, different from the Goddess who hadn't appeared for a long time!

"So doctor..."

Lin Yu blinked and asked: "Is there any hope for my situation?"
