Warg City, with its towering steam tower piercing the clouds, resembled an unusual iron volcano, spewing mist that enveloped the entire city.
Engines roared, gears spun.
Bullets whizzed through the pitch-black night sky.
Brilliant magic illuminated the dim stars.
At night, the sound of a massive clock echoed through the iron city, dispersing layers of mist and scaring away the lurking creatures of the dark.
At this mont, it had been fifteen hours since Xu Xi fell asleep in the ditation chamber.
A thirst born from bodily instincts.
Awakened him gently.
"Didn't expect to sleep this long this ti," he murmured as he opened his eyes, the familiar surroundings of the ditation chamber coming into view. Xu Xi glanced at the chanical clock on the wall and couldn't help but sigh.
But it was understandable, considering he had worked for nine days and nights straight.
Gurgle.
Gurgle.
With a casual wave, he summoned a large mass of clear water, replenishing his hydration while stretching his slightly stiff body.
A quick look at "pawread" will leave you more fulfilled.
Overall, Xu Xi was quite satisfied with the effects of this sleep.
All physical fatigue was gone.
His previously listless spirit was also restored.
"It's ti to move on to the next step. After going through so many historical records, I've finally got so clues," Xu Xi thought as he glanced at the corner of the ditation chamber.
There, on a temporarily laid magic stone slab, a girl with long, silvery-gray hair was still quietly asleep.
Xu Xi walked over.
After a simple check.
He confird that Krisa's life state was still intact, and only then did he return to his work desk, focusing his gaze on the stacks of handwritten notes.
The text was fine, densely written.
Listing detailed information on the various classifications of the Demon Race.
It could be said that Xu Xi had reached a very deep understanding of the Demon Race's related knowledge.
So obscure or incomplete knowledge had also been understood and supplented with the help of the [Observer] and [Wisdom of Mortals] entries.
"The na 'Demon Race' is a human definition. To be precise, they should be called the Ancient Race or the Primordial Race."
The ditation chamber felt even more empty and serene in the dead of night.
Xu Xi sat down again.
From the bottom of the many manuscripts, he pulled out a brand-new blank sheet of paper and began writing new points on it.
"The theory of the deities creating the world is obviously wrong."
"If the deities truly had such power, they wouldn't need the re faith of humans."
"Therefore, the correct history should be as written in the 'Biography of Mage Rebrgov,' where the world was born from chaos, and elents gave rise to all things."
"And the so-called Demon Race were the first creatures of this world."
"Possessing incredibly powerful bodies and world-bestowed innate abilities, they were born with extraordinary power that surpassed other races, with the strongest able to contend with deities."
"The only flaw is that the emotions and desires of pureblood demons are extrely unstable, cutting off their path to becoming mages."
"Only exceptions like Krisa, with shallow demon blood and broken emotions, can learn magic without being affected."
Steam surged, occasionally bursting open the copper lid.
Emitting a crackling echo.
Accompanied by the rapid scratching of the pen on paper, like a gentle breeze rustling through countless leaves, delicate yet soft.
Looking at the recorded information on the Demon Race, Xu Xi fell into deep thought. Perhaps the flaws of the Demon Race were not accidental.
The developnt of things.
The developnt of the world.
Always follows the most basic laws.
That is, from nothing to sothing, from chaos to order.
When the Magic World was first born, even the world itself was incomplete, and the so-called Demon Race was actually a manifestation of the world's disorder.
This is also why the Demon Race was later replaced by deities.
Because deities symbolize order, rules, and the embodint of the world's orderly operation.
"In this light, the reason for Krisa's coma becos clear."
Xu Xi put down his pen.
Looking at the still-wet words on the paper, he slightly raised his head, gazing at the dim ceiling, and let out a sigh.
It was neither illness nor a curse.
The cause of the witch's coma was the struggle between the demon bloodline and the mage's ntal power, each representing disorder and order, incompatible like water and fire, unable to let each other go.
In the past, the witch was weak, pitiful, and helpless, with a frail body and listless spirit, naturally not needing to worry about these.
But the anomaly in Allenson City, with the influx of wails and despair, activated the demon bloodline.
After advancing to an elite mage, her ntal power also made unprecedented breakthroughs.
Thus.
Body and spirit, disorder and order, demon and deity.
The fate symbolizing two different paths fiercely clashed within Krisa, sotis slow, sotis urgent, causing Krisa, the owner of the body, to oscillate between coma and consciousness.
No life-threatening danger now doesn't an there won't be in the future.
"Troubleso..."
Fingers gently massaged his throbbing temples.
Xu Xi's expression was complex.
Although he understood the cause of the coma, how to solve it, what to do, remained a huge challenge.
To be honest, this field involving deities and demons was sowhat advanced for a Grand Mage.
But Krisa's body didn't contain a true deity or demon, and Xu Xi wasn't an ordinary Grand Mage. With the power of the entries, there was still a chance for a turnaround.
