Chapter 571
Lucien’s cognitive world was still changing drastically . The most obvious sign was that the vertical edge of the space began to twist, turning the space from a cube into an oval sphere, as if a twisted barrier had been added to the periphery .

In the starry space, from both the two Host Stars of Destiny and other illusionary stars, the gravity began to twist the rays of light around . The space around them turned transparent and constricted rapidly, giving everybody who saw it an illusion .
The Host Star of Destiny which looked like a black hole was even more horrifying . When it revolved to the front, all the symbols of wind, fire, water, elements, electrons and others surged at it beyond control . It was an utter mess .
The quill in Lucien’s hand did not stop at all, and he gave a few prophecies and proofs according to the previous description and the equations of gravitational field:
“Based on the speculation that the mass of the sun causes the twist of space, it is possible to calculate the redundant precession of the perihelion of the Morning Star, which agrees with observation…
“Based on the time dilation caused by the gravitational field, and subtracting the time-slowing phenomenon caused by the artificial planets, we can conclude that the time on artificial planets are faster than on the ground… which agrees with the adjustment in actual operations…”
“Rays will deviate in the gravitational field . The angle of deviation near the sun is…”
“The redshift of spectral lines…”
After that, his thick paper came to a full stop . Most of the content was from the manuscripts that Lucien accumulated over the past years after some modification .
His eyes half closed, Lucien sensed the stars in his cognitive world . They were connected to the special and complicated symbols and constructed two extremely complicated magic models . He felt that his soul and his spiritual power were entirely absorbed into it after only a quick glance, and he was extremely exhausted and fatigued .
Lucien had the same feeling once when he read ‘Astrology and Elements’ for the first time and witnessed ‘Lord of Elements’ and ‘Prophet’, the two legendary classes .
“A new legendary class…” Not delighted at all, Lucien even frowned . After the half-solidification of the cognitive world, it would be difficult to reconstruct the fundamentals . He had always planned to use quantum mechanics instead of the general theory of relativity as his foundation!
The other legendary sorcerers certainly did not have Lucien’s worries before their advancement . When they reached their level, the constituents of their cognitive world and the path they would like to take were almost fixed . Half-solidification was the last and most difficult step . If he did not have the eighth-circle strength, he might’ve failed due to the insufficient spiritual power .
Of course, after the half solidification, there was one other problem for the archmages, which was to choose a legendary class that matched their cognitive world for easier advancement . Also, constructing basic legendary magics required spiritual power and mathematical knowledge .
That was why every grand arcanist who created a paradigm-shifting theory was easier to advance into legendary than regular archmages . Their legendary class was generated directly inside their cognitive world with the feedback of the real world, and it was an almost 100% match . What they needed was the tremendous spiritual power .
Thinking for a moment, Lucien rose and walked to the cyclotron . Putting a long-prepared metal plate into the magic circle, he placed a paraffin plate behind the metal plate .
Then, while the half-solidification of his cognitive world was not completed yet, Lucien activated the cyclotron and bombarded the metal plate with Helium atomic nucleus .

BOOM! BOOM!
Due to the half-solidification of his cognitive world, Lucien had the illusion that he heard the sound of the Helium nucleus bombarding the metal plate . It was like an intense explosion .
Suddenly, the device behind the magic circle captured the traces of protons behind the paraffin plate and recorded their range and other data .
After the data was out, Lucien calculated with his powerful soul . Conservation of momentum, conservation of energy… The rays that were shot out by the protons gradually revealed their real appearance .
They were of similar masses with protons and could not be captured in the electromagnetic field .
They were exactly the neutrons that the sorcerers had been seeking since ‘new alchemy’ was published .
Because they were electric-neutral, they were not under the influence of magnetic field and electric field . Therefore, they could barely be discovered directly, and he had to count on similar, indirect ways!
BOOM!
This time, it was the real sound echoing next to Lucien’s ears . The cognitive world had intense reactions again, and the nucleus inside finally revealed its true appearance . The protons and neutrons were combined under a certain unknown force .
The intangible and transcendent space arrived at Lucien’s sensation again and interacted with his cognitive world, filling the incomplete magic models of ‘atomic fission’ and ‘atomic fusion’ quickly .
Inside the ‘Sky radio station’…
Samantha looked out of the window in delight . It was truly motivating that an archmage half-solidified his cognitive world based on gravity at such a moment!
The illusionary, all-absorbing darkness gradually dispersed . The storm was weaker and weaker . The weather change came to an end .
“Which Excellency’s cognitive world has half-solidified? We have to interview him tomorrow!” Said Samantha in a rarely-seen smile . Her confidence had been greatly shaken a moment ago .
An archmage whose cognitive world had half-solidified, as long as the match of legendary class was above 50%, was very likely to advance into legendary . That was why she began to address him as Excellency .

Another arcanist said delightedly and in relief, “Also, it seems that the new gravity theory is closer to its true nature than the president’s . I, for one, have never seen the all-absorbing darkness in any record . ”
Samantha was about to answer him, when a deafening explosion burst out and shivered the whole Allyn .
Looking out of the window in a daze, Samantha saw that the dark night turned into an abyss . Electromagnetic waves were on a rampage in the sky as visible light, and a rolling fire ball at their center spread out a terrifying storm of energy .
The fireball soared and rose in a mushroom cloud . However, compared to the mushroom cloud of ‘Eternal Blaze’ that Samantha witnessed the other day, its head was much smaller . The dark air and the fire were dancing with each other .
“What’s this?” All of the arcanists were confused .
BOOM!
An explosion even louder burst out . Samantha felt that her ears were humming, and she couldn’t hear anything else .
After the explosion, a sun rose from the outside, driving away the darkness and the curses most dazzlingly!
“This is…” Blake rushed to the window from his sofa . If he remembered correctly, that was exactly ‘Eternal Blaze’ he saw in Allyn the other day!
The only difference was that it was an actual image back then but an illusion right now!
“Is it Mr . Evans? Was he behind the weather change just now?”
Inside the Tower…
Annonis, who was speaking to Raventi, found it hard to close his mouth when he stared at what was before him in stun . How could the half-solidification of the cognitive world based on gravity become based on the ‘new alchemy’?
It was an unprecedented phenomenon in the history of magic!
“Annonis, what were the two noises in Allyn about?”
“I seem to see a sun and a mushroom cloud rising in Allyn, right?”

“Hello, hello! Annonis?”
Raventi’s voice echoed, but Annonis was too preoccupied to reply .
On the thirty-third floor of the Allyn magic tower, Fernando’s eyes widened the moment he saw the mushroom cloud . “It’s Lucien!”
“And I was wondering where he went!”
That was the legendary magic which only Douglas, Hathaway, Lucien and himself were aware of . For the other archmages, even if they could half-solidify their cognitive world with ‘new alchemy’, they would not be able to construct the model of the legendary magic due to the lack of feedback from the real world . Therefore, even if they could cause a similar phenomenon, it couldn’t have been as clear and complete!
“Lucien Evans?” Hellen looked at Fernando, surprised . “He has such a deep understanding about gravity? Also, why is the half-solidification of his cognitive world divided into two phases?”
Fernando gnashed his teeth, “How do I know? He must’ve hidden a lot of papers to himself again!”
In the sky far away from Allyn, Kritonia looked at the familiar mushroom cloud of ‘Eternal Blaze’ and asked in confusion, “How many archmages are half-solidifying their cognitive world?”
Benedict III shook his head and said in surprise, “I thought that it was an achievement when Fernando and Hathaway advanced to the peak of legendary, but it seems that it was invented by somebody else…”
When a legendary sorcerer reached the peak, their cognitive world would be completely melted with their soul . It would also trigger weather changes on an even vaster scale . However, they could hide in their demiplanes or alternate dimensions so that the enemy wouldn’t know it .
In his cognitive world, the space was half-solidifying under the influence of gravity, and the elements like wind, fire and water were also half-solidifying because of the preliminary completeness of the internal structure . They burst into such an intense conflict that Lucien’s cognitive world was shaking!
“The discovery of neutron is not good enough . ” Gritting his teeth, Lucien turned on the cyclotron again, except that he took out the metal plate and the paraffin plate this time and replaced them with a clear monocrystal .
Inside the cyclotron, the electrons were powered and darted out .
BOOM! BOOM!
Lucien had the illusion that cannonballs were being shot out again . Also, it was more intense than just now, as if a magnificent palace was collapsing abruptly in the crazy explosion!
For some reason, Lucien suddenly became extremely nervous, as if the simplest and deepest mysteries were about to be revealed .
The electrons hit the monocrystal and revealed a beautiful, dreamy pattern through the alchemical device . It was so shocking and unbelievable!
Looking at that, Lucien closed his eyes full of satisfaction .
It was a classic image of diffraction . As a fundamental particle, electrons revealed a diffraction image that only waves could present!
“Waves and particles, what are you significance if you exist independently without each other 1 ?”
A quote that Lucien read in his previous life occurred to him . The vast and transcendent starry sky descended again, in a more compatible way with the real world and the cognitive world .
Inside his cognitive world, the electrons outside of the atomic structure spread out . Like a cloud that covered everything, it suppressed the half-solidification caused by gravity .
Kritonia and Benedict III watched the mushroom cloud turn into a dark cloud and enshrouded Allyn with the illusionary, ubiquitous monochrome, finding it impossible to understand it .
“This is a projection of what?” Kritonia expressed his puzzlement again .
Benedict III shook his head but did not reply .
Fernando, Hellen and Samantha watched the same scene from the Allyn magic tower, equally unclear what projected it . However, the cloud was soon gone, and the weather change came to a complete end .
“It should be a regular projection during the half-solidification based on ‘new alchemy’ . It may not necessarily be associated with existing theories . ” Samantha muttered to herself, soon dropping the ambiguous and brief phenomenon behind .
Also, she had vaguely guessed who it was!
Seeing that the weather change stopped, Fernando said to Hellen, “I’ll ask Lucien to participate in ‘News of the World’, introduce his gravity theory, and announce the half-solidification of his cognitive world, so that everybody can be stabilized from this incident . ”
“You will keep trying to open the Land of Truth . ”
