Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

“A heart that doesn't age is naturally one that, no matter how time erodes it, no matter what kind of setbacks it experiences, will not wither or entertain thoughts of suicide,” Roger simply described.

“So, what you want is a heart with extreme ‘resilience’ and ‘strength’.”

“You could say that,” Roger nodded.

“Then, your path definitely has problems,” Nicolas Flamel affirmed.

He then began to explain: “You use the Time Plague spell to connect the past and present, interacting power and thought to a certain extent, to protect yourself from the impact of the timeline. There's nothing wrong with that.”

“But using it as a multifaceted mirror standing above time and space to reflect yourself, to anchor your ego, I don't think that step is feasible.”

“I may say some unpleasant things next, I hope you don't mind,” Nicolas Flamel gave Roger a warning.

“— Please speak,” Although Roger was very strong in magical power, he never felt that he was the most intelligent person. He believed that his thinking was ultimately limited by his own experiences and ways of thinking, and it was normal to have loopholes.

That's why he planned to promote a series of things such as virtual reality, Second Magic, and Three-Dimensional Magic, using the wisdom of all beings to make up for his own shortcomings.

“Roger, you are not old, even if you have experienced the lives of many people, the frequent experience of superficial understanding may make you subconsciously ignore this point.”

“Life has different ideas at different stages, which is a normal part, and a common occurrence.”

“In infancy, you only think about eating and excreting. As you get older, you want more—youth, adulthood, middle age, old age——.”

“You may think that only the mentality of young people is the healthiest, and the thinking of middle-aged and elderly people is decaying.

“But ah—no matter what age group holds, as long as it is not self-entangled to the point where the mental state has problems, it is not ‘wrong’!”

Speaking of this, Nicolas Flamel changed the subject: “Let’s not talk about distant things, let’s take you as an example.”

“Before the Middle East War, your mentality, during the war, your mentality, when you were imprisoned and tried in England, your mentality when you came into contact with magic, and your mentality after achieving magical success, were all different.”

“Do you think there is a distinction between high and low among these?”

“If so, which is higher and which is lower?”

Roger opened his mouth: “I——”

Nicolas Flamel waved his hand, interrupting the answer Roger was about to say.

“You don't need to tell me which is high and which is low, it doesn't matter at all.”

“What’s important is.”

“Changes in mentality are also part of development. Perhaps the present is good, or perhaps the past was good.”

“But you use the Time Plague spell to anchor yourself with the body of the past, which in itself limits the development of your spiritual path.”

“Part of the discomfort you are currently suffering is the emotional erosion of your thinking by the phantoms in history.”

“And another part, I think, is probably—

Roger wanted to hand over some key technologies in his path to immortality to Nicolas Flamel to complete, so he would naturally explain some details to him.

So Nicolas Flamel knew that the past that Roger's Time Plague could trace back to was not very long.

Roger's so-called self-anchoring actually started from the time after his magic was achieved.

The time before his Three-Dimensional Magic was achieved was not included in his “self-anchoring” range!

“I roughly understand what you mean.” After listening to Nicolas Flamel's explanation, Roger's face also darkened.

Although he did not agree with all of Nicolas Flamel's words, this was indeed a possibility.

If his path was wrong from the self-anchoring part.

Then, continuing to stubbornly pursue the path of reincarnation will only get worse and worse.

“But if I don’t anchor myself with space-time magic, how can I still ensure that I am still me after hundreds of billions of years, instead of being lost by the immersion of all beings’ hearts?”

This is not only about the reincarnation plan. Roger will also use the wisdom of all beings to cultivate in the future. Even if the reincarnation plan is not implemented, he will still face this problem.

After a new problem is raised, it is often followed by a long string of more troublesome problems.

“To be able to maintain oneself and continue to move forward——”

If Roger could do this, then he himself should be considered to have achieved immortality of the heart to a certain extent, and there would be no need to start the reincarnation plan at all.

This reminded Roger of a movie he had seen in his previous life as a child.

There was a funny scientist in it who invented a flashlight. As long as light shines on the flashlight, it will light up. Without light, the flashlight will not light up.

Roger was facing a similar dilemma.

To put it more vividly, it's like a computer is broken, and you have to go online to search for ways to repair the computer, but because the computer is broken, you can't get online.

Thinking of this, Roger began to consider whether there were other ways to solve it in magic.

The computer can be sent to other offline masters for repair, but in the entire magic world, on the road to immortality, there is no one in front of him at all.

You can also use other people's computers and mobile phones to go online.

Other people's——

“Faith?”

“Wrong.”

“The path of faith is essentially similar to my space-time anchoring. It still limits the development of the self.”

“Then—.”

Roger began to think frantically.

At this time, Nicolas Flamel said: “Perhaps, you shouldn’t be reinventing the wheel.”

Raising a problem is always easier than solving it.

What Nicolas Flamel wanted to do was not just raise the problem, he also wanted to help Roger solve it.

“You should trace back the road you came from, every thing you have experienced.”

“Perhaps after you have done this, you will have some answers yourself.”

“You said you want to find your true self in the reincarnation plan.”

“But I think, compared to reflecting yourself through all beings.”

“Reflecting with yourself is also not bad.”

“Your previous mistake was that the part you reflected was too small.”

“What your Time Plague connects is only the part where you have achieved success.”

“There is no road you came from at all. The incomplete self-reflection will naturally cause a series of various problems,” Nicolas Flamel said.

“If you trace back all of your past and let ‘change’ itself become a part of you, perhaps some completely different and wonderful reactions will occur.”

“Of course, what I provide is just a suggestion, and you need to experiment step by step to determine the right and wrong of it.”
