Chapter 434: Insist on visiting!

At this moment, a more beautiful scene appeared on the right side of the airship.

Some islands were in the shape of inverted pyramids, with the tips pointing downward and the bases facing the sky;

Others were donut-shaped, with inverted crystal forests growing in the hollows in the middle.

The "roots" of these forests grew upward, and the "branches and leaves" hung downward, with every leaf being a pure magic crystal.

When a breeze blew, the crystal leaves collided, making a crisp sound like wind chimes.

"Those crystal trees..."

A researcher’s unique excitement appeared in Luo En’s eyes:

"Their growth method completely subverts common sense."

"In the Land of Quicksand, common sense is often the most unreliable thing."

Samuel shook his head with a bitter smile:

"I have seen fish swimming in the desert, stones that can sing, and even rivers flowing backward."

"Here, the only constant is that everything is changing."

What shocked Luo En the most was the giant "Web of Melody" in the sky.

Wind elements here were no longer invisible and intangible existences, but were woven into visible transparent threads.

These threads were interwoven in the air into a complex network structure, covering the sky for hundreds of kilometers.

Whenever a fire tornado or a gravity-inverted island collided with the Web of Melody, the entire sky would resound with harmonious music like heavenly sounds.

That kind of music transcended the limits of human hearing.

It acted directly on the depths of the soul, making the listener feel a kind of tranquility and beauty that transcended the secular world.

"This phenomenon..."

Luo En tried hard to use professional terminology to describe the spectacle before him:

"Are the elements not opposing each other, but performing some kind of deep-level coordination?"

"Your observation is very keen."

Samuel nodded approvingly:

"In the Land of Quicksand, conflict and harmony are often two sides of the same coin."

"Those seemingly contradictory phenomena are actually following some higher-level order."

"It’s just that this order exceeds our conventional understanding."

The airship bumped in the elemental storm for nearly an hour before gradually entering a relatively calm area.

But "calm" is also relative.

The air was still filled with the dance of various elemental particles, and the sand dunes on the ground were constantly changing their shapes and colors.

"Lecturer Ralph, there is one thing I must remind you."

Samuel’s expression became solemn, and his voice lowered a bit:

"In the Land of Quicksand, especially at night, never stare at the sand dunes for a long time."

"Why?"

Luo En keenly sensed the dangerous implication behind the warning.

"Because..."

Samuel hesitated, as if weighing his words:

"Certain areas of the Land of Quicksand will look back at you."

This sentence gave Luo En a chill.

He remembered the "Observer Paradox" he knew—when you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you.

"What are those areas...?"

He asked.

"No one knows the exact answer."

Samuel shook his head, a deep wariness appearing in his eyes:

"Some people say they are 'observation residues' left by experiments in the Second Era, and some think they are the perception tentacles of some unknown existence."

"But regardless, everyone who stares at the sand dunes for a long time at night is found to be mentally deranged the next morning."

"They keep repeating the same sentence: 'It saw me, it remembered me'."

………………

"Lecturer Ralph, we still have about two days to reach the Sand Sea School."

Samuel noticed Luo En’s posture of wanting to leave and reacted immediately:

"I have nothing else to do here, you can return to the rest cabin. There are soundproofing runes there, so you won't be disturbed by external elemental fluctuations."

"Thank you for your suggestion." Luo En nodded: "I do need some quiet time."

Returning to the private cabin assigned to him, the space here was not large, but it was arranged quite comfortably.

Soft armchairs, gentle magic crystal lighting, and a small table specifically for reading.

He took "The Complete Explanation of the Extraordinary" out of his storage bag and continued reading the part he hadn't finished.

When he opened the pages, the eyeball embedded on the cover slowly turned, staring at his face.

Immediately, the pages automatically flipped to a specific chapter:

[Chapter 12: Lost Necromancy Inheritance]

This chapter was protected by special black seal runes, with dense warning text written on it:

"Warning: Necromancy is a forbidden discipline, practitioners must bear corresponding responsibilities!"

"Warning: Necromantic spells may lead to mental pollution!"

"Warning: The content of this chapter is for academic research only, actual application is strictly prohibited!"

He flipped through it three times and popped up three warnings.

"Since it can be included in 'The Complete Explanation of the Extraordinary,' it shows that this knowledge is still within the permitted range..."

Seeing these warnings, Luo En fell into thought.

He took out an exquisite portable divination tool from his waist.

Although the functions of the portable divination tool are not as powerful as the formal divination array, it is enough to assess basic safety risks.

As for the "Paradox Paradox Dice"... he didn't dare to use it casually before encountering important matters.

The divination tool consisted of a silver frame and a crystal core, with twelve small gemstones representing different omens embedded on the surface.

When mental power was injected into it, the crystal core began to emit a faint light.

"Let me see the risk level of reading this content..."

He muttered the divination question in his heart while observing the reaction of the gemstones.

The black agate representing "death threat" remained dim;

The amethyst representing "mental pollution" flickered slightly, but the intensity was not high;

The sapphire representing "knowledge value," however, emitted a bright light.

Finally, the white diamond representing "overall assessment" steadily emitted a gentle radiance.

"Risk is controllable, benefits are obvious..."

Luo En put away the divination tool, and a decision was made in his heart:

"Just reading the theoretical content should not be a big problem."

He carefully unsealed the seal runes and opened this mysterious chapter.

The first paragraph that caught his eye shocked him:

"Necromancy, also known as the study of life and death, is an ancient discipline that studies the essence of life and the truth of death.

Contrary to the misunderstandings of ordinary people, the core of Necromancy is not simply manipulating dead bodies.

It is about exploring the boundaries between life and death, understanding the essential structure of the soul, and the laws of energy conversion."

The King of Revelation wrote insights full of philosophical thoughts at the beginning of the chapter:

"In the process of traveling through various worlds, I discovered that death is not the end of life, but another form of existence state.

Those so-called 'dead' are actually just entering a level that our perception dimension cannot directly touch.

The true meaning of Necromancy lies in building a bridge of communication between the living and the dead, revealing the most fundamental mysteries of existence in the universe."

Great Wizard Gould added a rigorous annotation unique to a historian in another place:

"According to my investigation in the Truth Court archives, in ancient times, Necromancers made huge contributions to fields such as medicine, archaeology, and soul research.

After the 'Eternal Plague,' Necromancy was completely banned, leading to a huge gap in our research on soul theory and the essence of life.

This practice of giving up eating for fear of choking is truly regrettable."

Luo En thought in his heart while reading.

He felt the same way about Gould’s point of view.

The lessons of history are important, but completely banning a discipline is no different from cutting off one’s own arms.

As he read deeper, he found that the Necromancy system was more complex and profound than he imagined.

This is not a simple "summoning a skeleton army" or "mass-producing zombies."

It is a profound discipline involving the essence of life, soul structure, energy conversion, and consciousness boundaries.

[Theoretical Foundation of Necromancy]

"Necromancy is built on three core theories:

First, the Law of Soul Immortality:

The consciousness core of intelligent creatures continues to exist in some form after the death of the physical body, just transferred to a different level of existence.

Second, the Principle of Life-Death Conversion:

There is a controllable energy conversion mechanism between life and death; through specific spells and rituals, mutual influence between the two states can be achieved.

Third, the Hypothesis of Memory Materialization:

All experiences and knowledge leave traces in the soul; these traces can be extracted, transferred, and reconstructed."

The Eye of Observation inserted an analysis here:

"After precise calculation, Necromancy theory has a 67.3% overlap with modern mental mechanics and soul engineering.

This indicates that Necromancy is not pseudoscience, but a complete system with a solid theoretical foundation.

The main reason it was banned is political, not academic."

Seeing this, excitement surged in Luo En’s heart. ===== CHAPTER 441 =====
