Chapter 251: plane will
“Clean Sweep”
After cleaning up the discarded ritual materials on the laboratory table and seeing the mechanical clock show two in the afternoon, Jia Na, who hadn't eaten lunch yet, took out a sandwich and iced coffee milk from the refrigerator.
“Why would the Water Element Plane choose me instead of a real Deep Sea Mermaid?”
Eating her sandwich and watching the Raven on the tree branch outside the window, Jia Na unconsciously began to ponder this question.
A Plane World is often extremely cautious when choosing its plane will.
The completeness of a Plane World depends on the completeness of its Laws; and the completeness of its Laws relies on the repair and expansion by the plane will.
Before the birth of a plane will, all actions of a Plane World are actually the unconscious choices of the world's 'Law Cluster'.
Just like animal instinct, a Plane World relies on the instinct of its 'Law Cluster' when choosing a plane will.
The selection method of the 'Law Cluster' is actually very simple and crude: either the first creature born in the plane, or a suitable candidate deeply favored by them.
Therefore, Jia Na now finds it difficult to determine which type the Water Element Plane considers her to be.
If it's the first type, it's very easy to understand—but if it's the second type, Jia Na truly doesn't understand what about her meets the selection criteria of the Water Element Plane.
Even though she used Elementary Transformation to transform herself into the Mermaid Form of a Deep Sea Mermaid, putting aside the issue of the essence of magical particle energy attributes, there was clearly a real Deep Sea Mermaid right beside Jia Na, yet why did the Water Element Plane still choose her?
Could it be that because the Deep Sea Mermaid's soul was in a sealed state, the Plane World directly skipped the Deep Sea Mermaid and chose Jia Na instead?
Shaking her head after taking a sip of coffee milk, Jia Na dismissed this idea.
Because the Deep Sea Mermaid's soul was only sealed, not completely dissipated, logically speaking, this point doesn't make much sense.
Unless...
Looking at the blue crystal ball on the laboratory table, Jia Na couldn't help but furrow her brow slightly.
“Unless, the Deep Sea Mermaid lacks the trait that the Water Element Plane most desperately needs—and I, after transforming into the Mermaid Form, just happen to possess this trait.”
Thinking this, after swallowing the last bite of sandwich in her mouth, Jia Na couldn't help but look at the empty glass bottle beside her.
Immediately, Jia Na took out another bottle of unsweetened black coffee from the refrigerator and then sat back down on the chair beside the laboratory table.
“She doesn't have it, but I do, and it's the trait that the Water Element Plane most desperately needs—if I had to guess, it would be Life and Purification——”
As a plane with vast seas and extremely abundant water resources, it shouldn't be difficult for the Water Element Plane to give birth to a native water-based creature.
Furthermore, from Jia Na's observations, the Water Element Plane truly doesn't seem like a newly born Plane World,
Instead, it gives Jia Na the feeling that it was born a very, very long time ago.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the instinctive consciousness of those 'Law Clusters' is so strong.
The strong autonomous consciousness of the 'Law Clusters' proves that these Laws have existed for a long time and have established their own patterns of consciousness within the Plane World through accumulated operation.
However, what makes Jia Na feel particularly contradictory is that these 'Law Clusters' with overly strong autonomous consciousness are all incomplete.
And their degree of incompleteness can only be described as gruesome—
Therefore, Jia Na suspects that the Water Element Plane should have had a plane will born in the past, but due to reasons like Extra-territorial Gods' invasion or plane pollution, the Plane World's source energy was severely lost, leading to the death of the plane will.
“Sigh—”
After finishing the last sip of bitter coffee, Jia Na couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
If the situation of the Water Element Plane is truly as Jia Na guessed, then its current state is quite similar to the current state of the Main Material World where she is located.
It's just that one is 'dead', and the other is merely 'sleeping'——
“So, that means what the Water Element Plane is actually interested in are the Growth Law Fragment and the Purification Law Fragment on me—but the most important one should still be the Growth Law Fragment.”
During her entry into the Water Element Plane, Jia Na didn't feel any obvious signs of pollution; of course, it's also possible the pollution is too deep for Jia Na to detect at her current level.
However, if the Water Element Plane truly had a plane will in the past, then the original appearance of this world,
Besides the seas, there would likely also be land.
After all, the Laws born in a Plane World that can be targeted by Extra-territorial Evil Gods certainly wouldn't be too singular.
As a group of Wizards with rich experience in fighting Extra-territorial Gods, they have long conducted a series of studies on these Extra-territorial Gods.
What these Extra-territorial Evil Gods like to invade the most are worlds with relatively complete Plane Laws.
Especially large worlds like the Main Material World, which simultaneously possess hundreds of Main Laws, if exposed when the plane will and native creatures are not absolutely strong, they will inevitably attract countless covetous gazes.
To this day, were it not for the desperate defense of the Wizard community, with the Wizard's Will already fallen into slumber and a large number of Main Laws also rendered incomplete due to Extra-territorial God pollution, the Main Material World might have long since fallen.”
“Therefore, what the Water Element Plane truly values should be the authority of the Law of Life represented by the Growth Law Fragment——Unfortunately, this knowledge belongs to the advanced curriculum of Plane Studies, and cannot be learned at White Coral Academy.”
Although Jia Na had also read a few books about Plane Worlds in the library, most of the content consisted of exotic travelogues of 'Other Plane Sightings', and there wasn't much related to the plane will.
Therefore, Jia Na doesn't know what impact it would have on her personally once her spiritual body is 'kidnapped' by the Water Element Plane to become its plane will,
what impact it would have on her personally,
Especially since Jia Na's own Wizard Talent is not water-based. Therefore, under various unknown preconditions, even though she has used Spiritual Body Shuttle to mark the coordinates of the Water Element Plane.
However, before thoroughly understanding 'plane' knowledge, Jia Na will not venture into the Water Element Plane again...
