Sword and Magic and Taxi

Because he played his own style of music, Zhao Mai was given divine power and was able to strike the spark of divinity. This makes all Maia who have not reached this stage feel envious and happy. They came to congratulate one after another and asked Zhao Mai how he felt now. Both Maia and Vala were created directly by the Father of the Gods. They had different powers as soon as they existed. According to the difference in power, they were divided into Vala and Maia, and some of them were born famous. Zhao Mai first gained a name and then gained divine power. This was something that had never happened before.

This group of Maiya are very innocent and friendly people. They will be happy for other people's achievements, and they will also be a little envious, but there is no jealousy, let alone hatred. Those negative and dark thoughts have not yet been able to approach and corrupt the world. They will continue to communicate with each other, cooperate closely, and support each other's progress.

From scratch, from energy to matter to life, creating a world is never a simple matter. Zhao Mai knew nothing about the method of creation, but he knew very well what the future generations would be like. Of course, he would not tell Maia about inventions such as smog and pollution, but he could describe other and beautiful things to them.

Everyone enjoys working and chatting with him, and enjoys his active thinking. Many Maia were inspired by him and slowly found their own path, developing and improving their own power. Some even changed from quantitative to qualitative changes, and also ignited the flame of divine power.

Zhao Mai also gradually understood the nature of divine power through observation, study and his own experience. The way divine power works is somewhat similar to the force of nature, which is the result of the will of rules. Auli's abilities are earth and manufacturing, so he can create various minerals from the soil, and then shape them into other forms. Zhao Mai's power comes from him, which is very similar.

By communicating with the force of nature, Zhao Mai can summon small animals to treat people or attract wind, rain and lightning. Using a similar method, Zhao Mai can use divine power to change matter, both structurally and qualitatively. Using his divine power, he can easily turn sand into gold or rocks into diamonds. This is no longer a temporary ability of alchemy, but a permanent change.

Other Maia, even if they have developed divine power, do not have the same power. Saruman's power is his voice, the power of his voice to move people's hearts and immerse them. He studied Manwë, the god of air, and Ilúvatar, the father of the gods. The most powerful force in this world is the three-part movement, and Saruman follows this path.

Vera and Maiya gathered together, and various divine powers were displayed in front of Zhao Mai, which made him happy to see them. Only in the stage of creating the world, when all the gods work together, can there be such a grand occasion. All Vera and Maia are performing their missions from their own perspectives, but only Zhao Mai, the out-of-place outsider, will watch everything.

He observed and studied day after day, and gradually gained his own understanding. Eventually he came to an understanding: divine power is the power associated with change. From energy to matter, from time to space, from life to death, as long as there is change, there will be divine power. The divine power that Zhao Mai is proficient in is material change, and Saruman's divine power is the creation and transformation of thoughts and emotions. The power of everyone who can be called a god is change.

There are millions of paths and methods of change, each of which contains profound truths. When walking on a certain road, this road full of changing power also changes the people who walk on it. Just like Aulë, his circle of divine power has been wandering around the earth and shaping. No matter what problem he encounters, he first uses the divine power of the earth and shaping to solve it, without considering anything else.

This is why divine power makes gods become rigid, and eventually they slowly turn into clay-embodied wood sculptures, or just bearers and embodiments of certain changing rules. The power of change alone is not enough. We also need to expand our horizons, think differently, and sometimes even let go of past experiences, even successful ones, and start thinking again, starting from the new side. Change·Innovation·Opening...Okay, this is definitely a coincidence...

Iluvatar gave all his power to the Ainur he created, namely the Valar and Maia, put himself into the perspective of a bystander, and began to examine the power of change. The old man also said that those who are transcendent must continue to develop and change. If they stagnate, they will die. Now Zhao Mai somewhat understands why gods sometimes choose to wash the world over and start it over again. It's not because they want to destroy something, but because they want to make changes.

The entire multiverse is a testing ground for various changes! Zhao Mai looked at the divine power that was constantly swimming at his fingertips, and used his mind to let it change its shape, making it coil like a snake. When a snake crawls on your body, you will feel cool and comfortable, but it will also feel dangerous. Divine power is a good form of power, but if you are immersed in it, it will be difficult to escape.

The magical light snake bit its own tail, turned it into a circle, and put it on the index finger of Zhao Mai's right hand, like a ring.

What are you thinking about?

Zhao Mai shook his hand, and the golden divine light snake left his index finger with a whoosh and returned to his body. Oh, it's you Saruman, what's the matter?

Let me introduce to you. This is Beta, the free Maia. She has just arrived here and is studying. Saruman said to Zhao Mai: She heard about your deeds of obtaining the name and divine power. So I came to ask you for advice.”

Have you not arranged for Teacher Vera yet?

Not yet. Manwë is not here at the moment. Beta put his hands on his chest and answered with a smile. She takes on the appearance of a beautiful female elf, but unusually chooses to have her hair braided on the back of her head instead of letting it hang loose. Because Maia can take on any image she likes, including images that are not humans or elves, and can be changed at will. Therefore, Maiya relies on energy fluctuations to identify each other, and it doesn't matter what they look like.

Of course, Zhao Mai's bald head is quite recognizable, and no other Mai Ya has the same aesthetic.

Manwei isn't here? Zhao Mai looked up and saw that the highest hall seemed really empty. Where has the King of the Valar gone? Considering that Manwë is the god of atmosphere, maybe he went to where the wind blew, right? Aulë was still playing in the mud, but he was there every day—and only he was there every day. Okay, just sit down and watch whatever you want. Although there's nothing interesting to see...

Then I'll leave first. Ilmo, the god of inspiration, called me before and asked me to help him work. Saruman held his head high, turned and left.

There were people watching, and it seemed inappropriate to imitate Aulë and always play with mud on the ground. Zhao Mai patted the dirt on his body and straightened his clothes. He was about to say some polite words, but Beta laughed first. She covered her mouth with her hands and arched her eyebrows. When Zhao Mai was confused, Beta suddenly stretched out his hand. Zhao Mai tilted his head and avoided her hand.

You want to touch my head? Zhao Mai finally understood after he finished dodging. Maia didn't care much about each other's image, and no one ever asked to touch his head out of curiosity. Zhao Mai finished the action according to his body's fighting habits. Unexpectedly, Beta's eyes sparkled and he said happily: The way you tilted your head just now was so interesting!

Uh... not bad... Zhao Mai didn't know how to answer. Beta suddenly reached out his hand again, and touched the top of his head continuously. Zhao Mai lowered his head and leaned his bald head over.

No, it wouldn't be that interesting. Beta retracted his hand and said, I'll stretch out my hand and you'll be crooked. That's better...
