This class was held in a huge classroom that could accommodate 300 people. In the middle of the classroom was a high platform with more than a dozen spacious and comfortable seats, which formed a sharp contrast with the crowded seats on both sides. When Eldrin walked into the classroom, he was led directly to the high platform in the middle. In an instant, hundreds of eyes fell on him, making little Eldrin feel uncomfortable all over. The students sitting in the classroom were of all ages, from children of seven or eight years old to old magicians in their eighties. This was a semi-public teaching content, and any magician who had served Deepblue for a full year could come to listen to the class. The high platform in the middle was a special area reserved for Isabella's direct disciples. So when Eldrin sat down , he immediately became the focus of the whole audience. Envy, jealousy and hatred were all in his eyes.

In addition to Eldrin, there was a boy and a girl sitting in the central area. They were two or three years older than Eldrin, but they were already sixth- and fifth-level magicians respectively. Isabella had a total of twelve students, Eldrin was the thirteenth, and there were three more students currently studying in Deepblue . The rest had already begun to travel across the continent or even other planes, and the most outstanding ones had already begun to dominate the planes.

Eldrin had just sat down when the front door of the classroom was pushed open and a short, fat, bald magician walked in. Popovich, a level 16 great magician, was not outstanding in magic power in Deepblue , and could only be barely classified as a strong person in the entire continent. However, Popovich was not famous for his magic level, but for his theoretical achievements in the world system.

Popovich was not good-looking, and even looked a little funny with his big nose and round chin, but the classroom was full of people who were determined to make further progress in the magic world, and the opportunity to sit in Deepblue and listen to the class was not easy to come by, so the classroom immediately became quiet, waiting for the master's speech.

"The world of magic lies in reality. When you observe the world, what you see and hear is not real, but the image of the world projected in your consciousness through your perception! This process is inevitable, and it may seem unimportant, but it is precisely because of the existence of this process that there is an inevitable gap between the world we perceive and the real world . So how do you reduce the error? It can only depend on your way of thinking! It can even be said that the way a magician thinks determines what kind of world he sees."

After a pause, waiting for the confused or thoughtful apprentices and magicians to write down what he said, Popovich continued: "In the next period of time, what I can teach you is not the powerful eighth-level magic, and it is even more impossible to teach you ninth-level magic, because I don't know how to do it!"

The classroom was completely silent, without the laughter that Popovich had expected. Facing this group of students with a serious attitude towards learning and full of respect for the teacher, he could only touch his bald head helplessly and muttered, "What a bunch of boring guys. Okay, let's get straight to the point. I will teach you how to think. Don't underestimate it. In fact, it is the cornerstone of everything and determines what kind of achievements you can ultimately make in the world of magic. The right way of thinking can make what you see closer to the reality of the world, so that you can make the right decision when making important choices, so as not to make decisions that you will regret for the rest of your life like a headless fly . The so-called important choices include both magic experiments and the choice of magic in battle."

"To sum up my system in one word, it's top-down. You have to remember that you have to know the world first before you can know yourself. If you start from yourself like a certain guy in this magic tower preaches, you can only see a small area around you. This determines that your lifetime achievements are limited. How can a house sparrow be compared with an eagle?! So don't be like that guy. That way of thinking is just like a prairie mouse!"

After fiercely criticizing "some guy in this magic tower" for more than ten minutes, Popovich finally started the formal content.

"The Primordial Force is the foundation of everything. Our world is built on the Primordial Force, and it gradually expands as the Primordial Force expands. The Primordial Force is so vast that we have not been able to use it so far. We can think of the Primordial Force as an origin, and our world, and even the countless worlds that may exist, are hanging on this point."

"Rules form the framework of our world, and countless planes are the flesh and blood of the world. Rules are higher than planes, but are based on planes. Each plane is a concrete manifestation of one or several rules. The more rules a plane can carry, the larger it is, and the higher the plane in the world. A perfect plane with multiple rules, such as the plane where the Norland continent under our feet is located, is such a high-level plane, which we also call a Prime Plane."

"At this point, you will understand that the rules and the plane are completely one. If you want to become powerful, you must follow the rules, not the other way around. If you break the rules, you will inevitably be punished. Don't think that you can ignore the rules just because you are powerful. Unless you think you can fight against the entire plane, it is possible to change or even break the basic rules. And under the basic rules, there are also derived secondary rules, which are the objects of your fantasy! Pay attention, fantasy! The word fantasy means an ideal that you will never be able to achieve in your lifetime. Miracles always exist, but don't expect them to happen to you! Now you should understand the importance of understanding the world. The strong will use or even challenge the derived rules, and only fools will try to play with the basic rules."

"The rules determine the basic characteristics and power system of the plane. In a future day that is unlikely to exist, you may cross the plane to complete the conquest. At that time, analyzing the derived rules and power system of the plane will be your top priority. Only after completing this step can you adjust your combat mode and reallocate resources to maximize the use of the plane environment instead of being restricted by it. In this process, there is one most important thing. Do you know what it is?"

Popovich was talking so fast that his mouth soon became dry. After pouring a whole can of magic pure water into his stomach, he roared viciously: "Eternal and Time Dragon!"

The Eternal and Time Dragon has an almost supreme position in the Norland continent, ranking above many gods. Its power is incredible, does not require faith, and is unpredictable. The Eternal and Time Dragon has its own temple, the Eternal Dragon Temple. The Eternal Dragon Temple is almost the most important place on the continent, because only here can you communicate with the Eternal and Time Dragon. The location and number of the Eternal Dragon Temple are fixed, cannot be changed, and are not affected by changes in time and space. The Eternal Dragon Temple has existed on the continent before the oldest racial civilization was recorded. The magic civilization of the Norland continent, regardless of race and location, is deeply influenced by the Eternal Dragon Temple. It is under its guidance that humans have developed from a weak race that can only survive by relying on reproduction to a magic civilization that is not inferior to elves and dragon blood dwarves, and have built three powerful and vast empires. Other races are also deeply influenced by the Eternal Dragon Temple. The capitals of the six empires of various races on the surface of the continent are all built on the Eternal Draconic Ruins that have been discovered.

"This old dragon is almost an existence beyond the rules. It has left its claw marks in countless planes! When you enter a new plane, the ultimate goal is to find the traces it left in that world. It doesn't matter if it is a mother dragon, an egg, or something else. Even if it is just a pile of dragon dung, as long as you find it, you can immediately understand the rules of the plane and become a real strong man in the plane! Compared with this old dragon, those so-called gods are just parasites on the rules. Those who control fewer rules are weak gods, and those who control more rules are powerful gods. You see, the world is so simple!"

"From top to bottom, or from top to bottom!" Popovich's face flushed with excitement. The chaotic magic elements made people worry that he would die in the next moment because of the explosion of magic power. But his voice became louder and louder: "Origin, world, rules, plane, power, and then the individual, it is so simple! When you learn the right way to think, you will find that you are standing on the dragon horn of the Eternal and Time Dragon, looking down at countless planes! Those so-called sword masters and paladins , so-called legends, are nothing more than dust in the world system. Of course, the great Lady Isabella is an exception. She is the boss and a special one!!!"

Finally, Popovich waved his short, fat hands, and with the rhythm and determination of beating a war drum, he shouted word by word : "Thinking determines everything!"

Every word was like a hammer, hitting Eldrin's mind hard, making him dizzy. It wasn't that Popovich's argument was deafening , but that he used a technique similar to mental shock, using the power of a sixteenth-level great magician to suppress the students' consciousness tyrannically to enhance the teaching effect. When most of the people in the classroom recovered from the dizziness, the magic bell began to ring, and today's class was over.

"That's enough for today. Let's curse the guy in this magic tower together! Class dismissed!" Popovich picked up the thick magic book and used an eighth-level magic fixed-point teleportation spell to leave, fully demonstrating the great power of a sixteenth-level wizard.

After returning to his own quarters, Eldrin could not calm down for a long time. He frantically read all the books Popovich had assigned him. It was almost dawn when he finished. Popovich had opened a door for him and revealed a secret corner of the world to him. This feeling was the same as when he first opened the Sacred Canon in the attic of his home.
