Elite Mages’ Academy Chapter 615

Chapter 615 - God? Planet?

The recording was not very long, and after a dozen or so minutes, Xiao Lin’s vision started to blur and he was quickly standing in front of that door again.

“Are you done?” Bell’s expression had not changed.

Xiao Lin hesitated for a moment before asking in a strange tone, “Surely you aren’t telling me that that was a God?”

Bell did not deny it, but instead asked, “Then what do you think you saw?”

Xiao Lin said, “The sun? Or to be precise, that thing was clearly a star?”

Bell did not answer directly, and instead brought Xiao Lin away. After all, Xiao Lin could not actually stay in that space for too long. After returning to his dormitory, Bell let out a sigh before saying, “Do you know what the fastest speed is?”

“The speed of light.”

“That’s right. The fastest speed is light. The limit of a human’s thoughts is only around a hundred meters a second, so even in the simplest mathematical questions, a human’s calculations can’t compare to that of a calculator. A calculator can make a billion calculations in a second, but the human’s synapses have already determined their limits.” Bell seemed to not be answering the question.

However, Xiao Lin rubbed his chin, saying with some thought, “The speed of thought? I read a similar article before. The speed of one’s thinking determines their intelligence. Based on that theory, the limit of thought would naturally be the speed of light, but humans still can’t reach that level, and we, of course, are limited in our ability.”

“Then I can tell you clearly that, even on Planet Norma, even those at Legend rank, no one has the ability of the speed of light. Light is the vaguest concept. It’s possible that there are those that can use it, but absolutely no one can control it!” Bell’s expression was stern as she added, “There is a saying on Planet Norma. Time is God’s domain. This saying isn’t there for no reason.”

“If physical beings can’t reach the limits of thought, then only God can do it, which means it’s the greatest difference between God and man.” Xiao Lin muttered in realization before he suddenly exclaimed, “Hold on, are you saying that the ball of light was a true God, thinking at the speed of light? My lord, are you trying to tell me that, in order for a true God to allow itself to possess the speed of light, it made itself into a pure state of energy, which is also a state of light!”

Bell looked at him with praise. “That’s right. In truth, the answer is not that surprising. I’ve read many religious works from Earth. No matter if it’s from the East or the West, every similar recording claims that God’s state is light. It’s just that humans never thought of its meaning. God maintaining a state of light isn’t because it’s a higher state of being or that it looks nice, it’s just because they have to do that to maintain a thought process at the speed of light.”

Pausing for a moment, Bell raised her little hand and illustrated in the air. “Thinking at the speed of light; the special thing about it is that the distance between any point becomes the same. In order for every thought to be done at the same speed, each interaction, transfer, and combination has to be at the same speed. That is the most efficient way and, based on that theory, the form that accomplishes that in the best way mathematically would be a sphere.”

Bell dropped her hand, because Xiao Lin’s half-understanding expression meant that he did not understand her mathematical model at all. She rolled her eyes, saying, “This theory was completed a very long time ago. The debate back then was very intense. After all, if God really was an orb of light, the conclusion would be very strange. The devout believers in Europe could not believe it at all. It was only when a true God was discovered that all the debate stopped, and everything was sealed away.”

Xiao Lin did not ask about the reason for the sealing, as that would definitely contain even more secrets that he should not know at that moment. Xiao Lin was even more concerned about himself. After listening to Bell, he pulled back the old topic, “Then do you think that the form I was in before was close to a God?”

Bell’s expression turned stange again. “From the definition of a God, a form of pure energy that moves at the speed of light is necessary. When you absorbed the knowledge in those books, I felt that it was very similar. Fine, I admit that I was shocked by what happened.”

“Did Ivanovich not use the same method back then?” Xiao Lin asked in confusion.

Bell shook her head sternly. “However, Ivanovich did not turn into a form of pure energy when he absorbed it. In truth, based on all the documents in Dawn Academy I know of, I’ve never seen a similar record. Xiao Lin, you’re different!”

He was different…

Xiao Lin sighed imperceptibly. From the day he entered Dawn Academy, it was not the first time he had heard that. The dean had said that to him, and so had Song Junlang. Not long ago, that mysterious being in his body had said that as well, and now Bell was suddenly saying it.

From the earliest shock to the confusion now, Xiao Lin was already numb to those words. In another manner of speaking, it was as if it was his destiny. In truth, Xiao Lin was beginning to hate the feeling, especially after the last monthly examination. That mysterious existence had clearly said that Xiao Lin’s uniqueness had been forcefully given to him.

“You don’t seem happy.” Bell seemed to find Xiao Lin’s reaction strange.

Xiao Lin wiped away his disappointed expression and shook his head to stop the conversation. To him, even if he was some offspring of an ancient and distant God, he was still himself. There was only Xiao Lin in this world, and he did not want to care about what had happened in the past. He only cared about what he needed to do.

“Then, have I really grasped everything in those books? I remember you saying that it’s basically everything to do with medicinal studies.”

Xiao Lin shifted the topic again. Bell knew he did not want to dwell on it and smiled as she said, “Of course. Don’t underestimate yourself. Under Myth, your absorption abilities are really good. However, there’s some correction needed; it’s the medicinal studies that Dawn Academy knows. In truth, there are still many things on Planet Norma that even the academy doesn’t completely know.”

“That’s enough, but this method feels like I cheated. Can’t I just learn everything in the academy this way?” Xiao Lin felt like the possibilities were endless.

Bell rolled her eyes at him. “If you think your life is too long, you can try.”
