Chapter 158 "Mi's Particle"_2
Luo Yan answered without hesitation.
"It will pass through the crystal."
Miranda coughed awkwardly.
"Of course, but what I meant is... it should leave behind a line! Whether it's a straight line or a curve, its trajectory should be continuous, not a messy bunch of dots!"
The moment Luo Yan heard this, he immediately realized what Miranda was trying to express, and the intrigued look in his eyes grew even stronger.
Indeed.
When one or several substances that cannot be absorbed by the magic conductor pass through it, they should leave behind a linear trajectory, not multiple uniformly shaped dots.
Although this is not enough to prove that the substance has particle characteristics similar to atoms, it definitely proves that "Extraordinary Power is composed of a kind of substance that can be influenced by Spiritual Energy."
Before this, it was just a guess by Luo Yan, which he could neither prove nor disprove.
Watching the increasingly surprised Demon King, Miranda continued with an excited voice.
"Isn't it fascinating? Our magic and the magic of Chaos are actually made of the same stuff, a substance with no fixed shape that only takes the shape we expect when we observe it!"
"This made me think of your particle theory... If our world is made up of even smaller particles, then this stuff is undoubtedly the fundamental particle that constitutes Extraordinary Power! At least until we find a way to further divide it down!"
"That sounds quite astonishing," Luo Yan nodded appreciatively and continued, "I think if you continue to research along this path, we will get closer and closer to the essence of Extraordinary Power."
"I think so too!" Miranda nodded excitedly, looking at the Demon King and continued, "My only worry now is whether my research might arouse the envy of the divine beings..."
In the Aus Continent, whether on the surface or in Hell, the study of Extraordinary Power is closely linked with theology.
The notion that transcendent forces are granted by divine beings is a common consensus, and even the Great Graveyard has not abandoned the concept of divine beings.
In fact, the more one realizes the nature of Extraordinary Power, the more one realizes the necessity of concentrating faith.
It was for this reason that Miranda was particularly careful in observing the expression on Luo Yan's face as he spoke these words.
Luo Yan of course did not fail to notice this ghost testing him, but he did not take it to heart and just smiled lightly.
"You don't need to worry about that with me, my curiosity for the truth is no less than yours, you can research without reservations... however, on the matter of whether to go public, you need to be cautious and it's best to seek my opinion. After all, not everyone can accept your theory, you have the right to explore the future, and they have the right to live in the past."
"I understand, as long as you have no objections, that's fine. I'm not interested in convincing everyone..." With a satisfactory reply from Luo Yan, Miranda relaxed and showed a sincere smile.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered something and continued in an eager tone.
"By the way... I was able to discover the existence of this special substance in the experiment thanks to your guidance, and I would like you to name it!"
Watching the eager expression on Miranda's face, Luo Yan, who had been the Demon King for so long, certainly could see the real reason behind his actions.
It's less about giving him the credit and more about endorsing his new theory.
After all, it seems that only the Great Graveyard is currently able to accommodate his "heretical" theory.
"...I didn't guide you on anything, your discovery is entirely due to your own efforts. But if you want me to name it for you, I can provide some references."
Having said this, Luo Yan paused for a moment to think, then, under Miranda's surprised gaze, continued in a relaxed tone.
"Since this substance that constitutes the source of Extraordinary Power was discovered by you, let's call it 'Mi's Particle' then."
...
The discovery of 'Mi's Particle' was just a brief interlude in Luo Yan's daily trivial matters.
Yet for the "theoretical community" of the Great Graveyard, it was undoubtedly a milestone advancement!
This description is not an exaggeration at all.
If the Power of Faith is the root of the spiritual world, a 'Special Force Field' made of consciousness, then this particle is the foundational source of the material world that Extraordinary Power can touch, a 'particle that only operates in special force fields.'
The relationship between the two is like that of a magnetic field and a magnet.
Mi's Particle, combined with different components of the Power of Faith, equals different systems of Extraordinary Power.
And this is also the essence of the Wish Machine, inherently possessed by the beings of the Aus Continent!
Through harnessing this power by weaving faith and prayer, the beings of the Aus Continent completed the low-level code of Extraordinary Power, thereby evolving into several 'compatible yet distinct' systems of Extraordinary Power.
Such as Elemental magic, the Nether Energy that commands the undead, the Holy Light Power that dispels them, and so on.
It is the same for the people of Kao on the Kao Planet.
