Chapter 87. Learning Mode ON!
Cedric repeated the news he just obtained from the System to Elisa.
[Sorry, things happen and now I can't change your body.]
Elisa fell silent.
[Anyway, I'll send your mom soon. Also, this time I'll reincarnate her instead of letting her possess a body.]
[This way, a similar problem shouldn't happen. But it'll take a while before she can grow up and meet you. Especially since elves grow several times slower than humans]
The tree Elisa possessed rustled before her sigh could be heard, "Alright."
With Elisa's acknowledgment, Cedric stopped paying attention to the Crystal Cube world and focused back on Earth.
He turned his head and saw Elisa's mother.
"Oh, I forgot to ask. Do you wish to leave your life here and go to my world?" Cedric scratched his head while looking at Elisa's mother embarrassedly.
He is a bit too excited to see Elisa's potential to the point he forgot to ask an important question to her mom.
Although it's kinda late to ask now. But, it's better late than never.
Now that Elisa's mother had become sober, she looked at her unconscious daughter. "Is my daughter really got sent to another world?"
Elisa's mother feels she has gone mad when she asked such a ridiculous question. But the ability Cedric has shown has mostly convinced her.
"Yes, she has reincarnated in my world."
Cedric heard Elisa's mother sigh, "I have my own life here. But I'd rather give up everything and follow my daughter. She is the only family I have after my late husband died."
"Please send me to my daughter's location." Elisa's mother said resolutely.
Cedric nodded while reminding her. "My world's technology is quite low, only around the level of the early Bronze Age. So, I'd recommend you to learn some useful knowledge before being reincarnated."
"By the way, one day on Earth is equal to ten years in my world, and I can only stay on Earth for six more days. Please learn as much knowledge within the shortest time. I'll send you there once you're ready."
Elisa's mother nodded and tinkered around with her phone.
Cedric took a peek at her phone and saw her checking a lot of random information. There's information about how to create stone ovens, how to test whether a plant is edible or nonedible, how to crossbreed plants and animals, alcohol recipes, how to make medicine for basic diseases like influenza, and many other knowledge.
She read for a few hours while constantly chanting the thing she read.
When Cedric thought she'd choose to read for a few days, Elisa's mother called him, "I am ready."
"Are you sure? Why don't you collect more knowledge?"
Elisa's mother shook her head, "You said 1 day on Earth is equal to ten years in the other world. I want to accompany my daughter as soon as possible.
Cedric nodded his head and bought a Portable Reincarnation Magic Array.
He drew the Interdimensional Magic Array and left the part about the target coordinates empty. Once he was done, Cedric used the Portable Reincarnation Magic Array and stored Elisa's mother's soul inside.
Watching the physical body of Elisa's mother falling unconscious, he ignored it and looked around the Crystal Cube world in search of a pregnant elf.
Thanks to Earth's much accelerated time, it didn't take long for Cedric to find a pregnant elf.
As he is fighting against time to finish the reincarnation procedure before the elf gives birth, Cedric quickly completes the interdimensional teleportation circle and immediately sends Elisa's mother inside.
Once her soul arrived in the Crystal Cube world, Cedric controlled the soul to float toward the pregnant elf.
Luckily there's no sudden change and Elisa's mother successfully reincarnated.
Inside the hospital room, Cedric sighed in relief.
Now that his main mission has been completed, Cedric bought another invisible spray and turned himself invisible.
He exited the hospital room while leaving the mother-daughter pair unconscious.
Once he left the hospital, Cedric took a cab and entered the hotel he had booked.
Inside the hospital room, Cedric pulled out his phone to browse some wikis and sites for journals. He plans to learn more about Earth's knowledge.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
Thanks to the power of godhood, his memory is greatly strengthened and Cedric remembered the knowledge like a dry sponge sucking in water.
When he arrived at a journal about electricity, Cedric thought, 'Maybe I should give the method to make electricity to the Crystal Cube world.'
That's when the System suddenly sent him several messages.
[It's good that you're using your time effectively by studying. But the System advises you to not simply copy the knowledge you learned from Earth and send it to your world.]
[You need to be careful when introducing things learned from another world. Don't mindlessly copy and send too much knowledge from Earth to your world. Instead, you need to assimilate that knowledge, otherwise it will affect your world's stability.]
"Hmm?" Cedric paused his finger and read the System's messages. "Copying knowledge from Earth can damage my world's stability?"
[Yes.]
[Sending a step-by-step guide to creating electricity will cause your world's stability to be greatly affected. But if you insist on introducing electricity, you must do so through a more subtle means.]
"Subtle means?"
[There must be a process while inventing something. This way, your world can slowly adapt to that new invention. Instead of telling people how to create electricity outright, you can guide them by saying there are other energies that can be utilized. Then, slowly point them to find out about electromagnetic forces so they can create a generator.]
Cedric nodded. He understood what the System meant. There is just one question that now appears in his mind.
"I am pretty sure I've planned to do something similar before. But why do you only mention it now?"
[Because the System has calculated that it won't cause much problem before. But now, your knowledge reserve is enough to greatly destabilize your world by accident.]
[Actually, when you taught those dwarves about cannon and guns, a lot of your stability was damaged. Luckily you didn't mention fully how it works and you are doing it while the stability in your world is being strengthened by the world upgrade.]
"What about the heroes I sent from Earth then? They'll have knowledge about Earth, and most will definitely use it to make a name in my world. For example glass, fur clothes, and many things that Yuma and the others created."
[Here's the complicated part. You need to make sure they only use their knowledge as guidance. Just like how one of the people you summoned knew glass is created from heating sand, but that's all he knew. He still needs to do many experiments by choosing which sand is more suited to be used as glassmaking material to make glass clear and transparent.]
[The experiment they do is recorded by the world and will decrease the impact the sudden new invention has on your world's stability.]
"Alright. I'll keep that in mind." Cedric nodded and continued to look for more knowledge.
Although the System said he can't spread the knowledge he learned to the creatures in the Crystal Cube world. But, it didn't stop him from using the knowledge to his benefit. Especially the knowledge related to biology and chemistry.
Although he has dabbled in much knowledge in order to create the dragons in his world. But his study isn't as systematic.
Basically, Cedric wishes to fill his basic knowledge during his stay on Earth.
While studying, he also occasionally kept an eye on the situation in the Crystal Cube world.
The humans are still waging small battles here and there.
Compared to the massive war that caused a demon king to be born, the battle now is extremely tame.
Especially since the northern kingdom is busy claiming the land that Cedric has just created next to the mountain range that divides the continent.
The dwarves are also still busy fighting the ant colony.
After a few years of intense battle, the dwarves have been getting closer to the ant queen. Which forces it to relocate its base even deeper underground.
The dwarves have also been pushed by the war to constantly update their craft.
Right now, their mining and weapon technology has risen to several levels.
Whether it's the optimized railroad that helps them transport debris and people, the controlled explosive they recently invented, or the prototype gun and hand grenades that slowly became the norm. The dwarves kept on improving and inventing new things.
The greatest change happened in the elven territory.
The elves that previously lived in villages scattered around the magic forest have mostly gathered in three cities.
After a few villages were destroyed by the demons, the elf queen commanded most elven villages to gather for easier protection.
Although there are still some elves that refuse to leave their villages. But most elves still followed the order and joined the cities.
In every city, several level 1 and level 0 blessed are stationed. The combined forces of those blessed are enough to fight against one or two Level 1 demons that invaded the city.
The elves have even created a barricade made of trees and vines to surround the city and make sure demons won't be able to enter easily.
But suddenly gathering a large number of elves to live together has caused its own problem.
The density of elves made the magic forest unable to fill their necessities.
This forced the elves to dabble in agriculture and started transplanting fruit trees and other edible plants near the cities.
Thankfully, the combination of the magic forest's power and the elf's affinity with the forest made them easily grow edible plants around the cities.
This way, the elves unknowingly survived a famine and successfully did their transformation from mostly living in scattered villages to mainly living in cities.
Except for the overall situation, Cedric also focuses on checking the situation of important people like Lacius and Elisa.
Lacius is currently busy in his own hidden room under the temple.
From how things are going, he almost finished studying the Level 3 ant queen and will soon enter hibernation to decrease his lifespan consumption.
As for Elisa, after several months in the world, she seems to be slowly getting used to her current condition.
She mostly spent her time gathering mana and increasing her level.
After she reached Mid Level 0, Elisa's leveling speed slightly slowed down. But in exchange, she has officially become a blessed and awakened a power never seen before.
Based on what the System has told him, Cedric agreed that the ability is indeed related to nature.
The blessed ability Elisa awakened allows her to control the surrounding plants. When controlling the surrounding plants, the most Elisa could do at her current level is to make them rustle their leaves.
But when used on the oak tree-like body she possessed, Elisa can easily make her branch do unnatural movements.
Even though there's a lack of muscle or other means to move her body, Elisa can now use her blessed power to control her branch to twist and turn just like a hand.
Controlling plants also doesn't seem to be the limit of her power.
Cedric previously saw her use her mana to urge a plant to grow.
Of course, because of her limited strength, the growth of that plant is extremely limited. Even so, that power still feels incredible.
There's also the ability to seemingly communicate with other creatures.
Cedric often saw Elisa talking with the lightning bird perching on top of her.
Compared to other blessed powers that only allow the user to control and generate an element. Elisa's natural power seems to be much more complicated.
