"The Elf Clan has actually developed to this extent, wandering with two celestial bodies, so it's like a fantasy version of Wandering Earth?"
Gu Shanhai couldn't help but make a sarcastic comnt as he observed Sim, the presence of this elf.
The civilization they developed was indeed surprising to him.
"From this perspective, it's very likely that the Wizard World was influenced by this group of elves."
In Gu Shanhai's eyes, the biggest difference between these elves and the wizards of later generations was their temperant.
The Elf Clan wasn't as crazed as the wizards, and naturally, their civilization wasn't as prosperous either.
This group of elves had a highly advanced civilization, but unfortunately, their numbers were too few, and most of their technology seed to have been scavenged from other worlds and further studied and assimilated.
Fortunately, elves have long lifespans and have undergone mutations. If they don't die from disease, accidents, or battles, they basically have no lifespan issues.
"At the mont, it seems like the Elf Clan didn't voluntarily choose to wander with the two celestial bodies throughout the world clusters, but were forced to?"
Gu Shanhai estimated that for the two celestial bodies and the magic power tide to orbit the entire world cluster once, it would take at least several hundred thousand years.
As long as they get past the peak periods, they wouldn't have to worry about subsequent problems.
The next ti the two celestial bodies co around, it's possible even the Elf Clan might be extinct by then, making these concerns unnecessary.
So, it's highly probable that the world where the Elf Clan resided couldn't escape the two celestial bodies and was ultimately swept along, thus gaining the ability to traverse worlds, managing to survive, and even evolving the capability to resist the two celestial bodies in the process.
Having not gone extinct, life will naturally find its way, and evidently, these elves found their path but not without paying a hefty price in the process.
A civilization with barely more than a thousand population is indeed pitifully small; if faced with so enormous crisis, they could be wiped out in an instant.
"In the previous cycle, the elves should have managed until their world aligned with the next rotation and couldn't hold on when they reached the Wizard World. The wizards then took over the elves' heritage, coupled with a suitable era, which laid the foundation for creating the Wizard World.
"The spatial shielding technology is quite formidable; I couldn't locate the elves' holand imdiately."
Gu Shanhai noticed a severe issue; it would take him considerable ti to decipher the space in which the elves reside.
"Space folding, tracking disturbance, location induction frequencies—my, it seems like this group of elves has encountered similar enemies during their world traversal and have beco quite adept at handling such situations," Gu Shanhai exclaid.
Fortunately, although their technology is advanced, it's sowhat lacking for Gu Shanhai. As long as they remain in the region of the two celestial bodies, deducing their coordinates by combining the residual information and traces is relatively simple.
"There is also a world with a Mad God; I might as well take a look. I have quite a bit of research regarding divine entities." Gu Shanhai pondered for a mont. For the Elf Clan, given their technological level, vanquishing a Mad God isn't too challenging. The real challenge lies in how to transport the weapon to destroy a Mad God to that world.
One also has to consider whether it's worth the effort since sotis the transportation cost is the most significant factor.
Anyway, the Mad God can't leave that world, and since the Elf Clan will soon leave the area with the two celestial bodies, they will never cross paths again, making it impossible to take action over trivial matters.
As long as the two elves don't die, it's just a minor issue.
For Gu Shanhai, the Mad God's power is relatively diocre; he could crush it with ease.
The elves, affected by the celestial bodies, find it very limited to enhance individual strength directly; hence, they rely on various equipnt for support.
Of course, limited self-enhancent doesn't an no enhancent—they have developed various magic patterns and potions for permanent elevation, just not tapping into innate enhancent.
It's akin to having no inherent potential but being able to increase strength through genetic injection, acquire casting abilities by engraving magic patterns on the surface, and enhance bodily organs to gain transcendent powers, and so on.
The essence of nurous civilizations converged onto their being, even though they can never elevate their level through experiential gain; other ans allow for power augntation.
"A purely faith-based divine entity, I haven't encountered before." Gu Shanhai thought of this as an intriguing point.
The gods he has encountered were either based on rules or chanisms deceptively cloaked in divinity.
Thus, in this life, he indeed hasn't run into a deity based on faith.
"This probably is the origin of Divine Wizards in the Wizard World, right?" Suddenly, Gu Shanhai thought of this connection.
Naturally, wizards have nurous classifications; besides Bloodline Wizards and Divine Wizards, there are also chanical Wizards focused on machinery, Soul Wizards focused on souls, Energy Wizards transforming themselves into magic or elental forms, among others. In general, the variety of wizards is diverse and abundant.
Especially following the arrival of players, various peculiar wizards erged, such as the Program Wizards ford through hacking into virtual networks, which are quite representative.
"The legacy left by the Elf Clan is indeed rich."
"It's a pity the timing is off; if it were tens of thousands of years later, when the Elf Clan circled around the entire Celestial Body World cluster with two celestial bodies, their accumulated knowledge would be imnse. The difference now, though, is vast."
The Elf Clan should just be starting out, not following the revolution of the celestial bodies. They have accumulated a fair amount of knowledge, but compared to the future, they're still way behind.
"Wait, if I open the channel to that world, will the Destructive Frost also spread over?"
Gu Shanhai suddenly rembered this matter.
The celestial body, referred to as Frost by the Elf Clan, is not rely a natural disaster brought about by the stars, but more like so kind of mutation of the rules.
So if the channel is opened, the Destructive Frost will indeed spread over, which would be a terrifying disaster for the current Wizard World.
Without the help of the World Tree leaves, this small world would be frozen to death in an instant.
One must know, the world on the other side has the Mad God, and combined with the world itself being larger than the Wizard World, it's able to retain a sliver of life.
"Wait, could it be that the area where the World Tree leaves are, is actually where the Elf Clan resides?"
"If not, how can they possibly withstand the dual-star celestial body."
Gu Shanhai suddenly thought of this matter.
"If this is the truth, then this ti, I probably won't be able to wait for the leaves of the World Tree!" Gu Shanhai thought to himself with so frustration.
Waiting is definitely not an option. If he wants it, he has to get it himself, otherwise everything else is just delusion.
"This is too difficult." Gu Shanhai's face was sullen.
In his previous life, obtaining the World Tree leaves wasn't easy either. It was the final stage of the main quest of the Wizard World, but compared to the difficulty now, it's as if a small wizard is facing the Grand Wizard.
Originally, there was no need to face the dual-star celestial body; waiting was enough. Now, he can still wait, but it would take hundreds of thousands of years, during which he definitely wouldn't be able to wait—that would be entering the second version of "The First Era".
Although he can still dominate even if he doesn't work hard starting now and waits till the second version, he really can't bear it. If he really wanted to endure, he wouldn't have these achievents now.
"Looks like I can only take a risk."
"Plans just can't keep up with changes."
"Who would have thought the process for obtaining the World Tree leaves would be so complicated."
As for the World Tree leaves becoming the elves' place of residence and thus unable to protect the Wizard World, that's unlikely.
Based on Gu Shanhai's speculation, this is not the elves' subjective decision, but rather a peculiar protective effect ford due to the trajectory of the World Tree leaves coinciding with the Wizard World, making the Wizard World a fortunate one.
This resulted in the Wizard World being the best place to obtain World Tree leaves, provided that it's after hundreds of thousands of years, as it is currently trapped between elves and the dual-star celestial body, and it's only after the elf civilization perishes that acquiring them becos feasible.
"But since it requires taking risks, I must prepare various plans to avoid any issues that might trap ."
"This is actually a good thing, allowing to face reality." Gu Shanhai sighed; originally, he just thought he could lay low and wait for the dual-star celestial body to arrive to obtain World Tree leaves without risk.
The idea was beautiful, but reality will not develop according to Gu Shanhai's thoughts at all.
"Therefore, the Elf Clan is a breakthrough!"
"I need to find a way to infiltrate them."
As for the Wizard World? Gu Shanhai never really cared. Initially, it had value, so he maintained it a bit. Now it doesn't hold much value, so it doesn't matter anymore.
However, considering there's so emotional attachnt involved, Gu Shanhai won't go too far, at most it's just a lack of future support.
"I need a stepping stone with sufficient weight."
"Let think, let think."
The Destructive Frost gives Gu Shanhai a bit of a headache, as he's unsure if he can hold it off.
From long-term research, it appears to specifically target worlds, aning if he gets involved, he would also suffer additional harm, even if such harm is trivial to him.
Besides, it's highly tenacious; once it latches onto a world, it doesn't want to leave.
Of course, without the radiation zone of the dual-star celestial body, that is the supply of Magic Power tide, it also cannot pose too much of a threat and will gradually thaw and disappear.
In the No-magic Era, it'll completely vanish, while in other periods, it presents varying levels of power.
The worlds Rest and Sim ventured to were indeed at the edge of the radiation zone, but they were also transitioning from the High Magic Era to the dium Magic Period, so the Frost had apocalyptic capabilities, which was within normal range.
If it were in the Wizard World, just entering the Low Magic phase, the Frost would at most lead to a colder climate, causing a mini ice age.
