Chapter 440 Creating Time Magic
Gandalf (Orolin)'s core powers are "wisdom, fire, spiritual guidance, and servants of the secret fire," but the authority over these powers is held by the Valar, so he can only use these powers, but cannot control them.
As for Dui, if he truly followed Gandalf's advice and became a disciple of Oly, the god of craftsmen, and embarked on the path of craft creation...
No matter how far he goes, he can only gain more power to create crafts, but the authority has already been firmly held by the god of craftsmen, Aoli, and will never be given to him.
The only path is time, and currently no one holds the power over time, nor even touches upon its authority.
Therefore, with the time converter in hand, Dui could easily embark on this smooth path.
At Dui's current level of strength, further advancement is no longer a matter of how much magic power he has accumulated, but rather how much he has explored authority and utilized the power of the world's rules.
During his conversation with Gandalf, Duy asked Gandalf more about his understanding of power, especially about the power that Gandalf possessed: "wisdom, fire, spiritual guidance, and servants of the secret fire."
After all, he wanted to acquire the power of time, but as a newcomer to the Maya level, he didn't have a deep understanding of the power.
He had no choice but to learn from Gandalf how to acquire and use power, thus drawing inspiration from various sources to gain insights into acquiring the power of time.
Gandalf, without any reservations, wholeheartedly explained his understanding of power to Dui.
Time slowly passed, and when the rewind ended and the other Dui in the studio disappeared, time on Dui's body returned to normal.
In Gandalf's perception, the feeling of being out of place in the world that Dui had suddenly disappeared, and he merged back into the world, becoming real again.
This change amazed Gandalf, who could only marvel at the wonder of time.
During this time, Dui also managed to replenish his depleted mental energy.
Instead of immediately using another time-turner, he went with Gandalf to see Orwin, the High King of Tyrell, and reunited with his wife and children, as well as Elrond, Galadriel, and the others.
After spending more than a year in Swan Harbor, Galadriel and Elrond prepared to say goodbye and return to Tyrion.
Gandalf, too, was to return to Verma. He was a subject of Manwë, the Valar king, and a disciple of Nina Valar. In addition to obeying Manwë's will, he was also required to stay by Nina's side.
Dui declined Galadriel's invitation and chose to remain in Swan Harbor for the time being.
He plans to continue making more time converters so that he can have more time to appreciate the river of time.
Since a single time converter only grants him 5 seconds of enlightenment time per day, Dui plans to accumulate more to gain more enlightenment time.
He calculated that his current longest period of enlightenment was five seconds before his mental energy was exhausted.
However, after rest, especially meditation, it takes about 6 hours to recover one's energy.
Based on this calculation, starting with the second time converter, he can use the time converter to go back 5 hours every hour.
If he wants to make full use of the entire day, he can use up to 25 time converters to gain 125 seconds to contemplate the river of time.
Although it was only a short time of just over two minutes, it was a very valuable opportunity for Dui.
So Dui went to the seabed again to visit Ossi and Uni, and once again obtained a large basin of ancient sand that the mermaids had carefully selected.
Then, in the days that followed, Dui made the Sands of Time and simultaneously experienced the passage of time.
Using the three time converters in his possession, Dui gained more time, allowing him to do other things while creating the Sands of Time.
For example, you can often see three Duis in the studio, all sharing the same space.
One person is responsible for using magic to maintain the transformation of the Sands of Time; another person is responsible for creating the vessel that holds the Sands of Time.
The remaining one either helps out occasionally, or goes out to spend time with his wife and children, or communicates with Tyrell, the High King Orway, and others.
At the same time, he used the brief 15 seconds during the time rewind process to perceive the existence of the river of time with his mental power.
Although it was only a brief moment, it was incredibly rewarding for Dui, giving him a deeper and deeper understanding of time.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. The 25 time converters have been completed and are used by Dui around the clock, giving him 149 hours of time each day and 125 seconds to deeply contemplate the river of time.
Furthermore, Dui also equipped these time converters with a control linkage device. Whenever a time converter finishes its 6-hour cycle, the next time converter will automatically start, rewinding 5 hours, and so on, stacking and repeating in this way.
It can be said that one day for Dui is equivalent to more than six days for others.
Fortunately, Dui is now a Maya-level being and has already achieved immortality; otherwise, with such a long time consumption, an ordinary person would have already aged.
But thanks to these efforts, Dui's transformation is also quite evident.
In the process of constantly contemplating time, Dui has inevitably been stained with the marks of time and years, exuding an aura of mystery.
He looks very young, yet he exudes an air of maturity that makes it impossible to tell his age.
In addition, Dui has also made some progress in his understanding of time.
Dui was seen holding a magic wand and casting a spell on a large tree.
A pale blue force of time shot out from the tip of the wand and acted on the tree.
The tree underwent a rapid transformation, as if time had reversed. Its form shrank smaller and smaller, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed from a towering tree into a tiny sapling!
If Dui hadn't stopped channeling magic at the last minute, this sapling might have ended up as a seed.
This is the Time Reversal Spell that Dui perfected and improved upon based on the Hour Reversal Spell.
It can be applied to an object or a person, causing them to rewind time.
Just like that big tree from before, under the effect of this time magic, it turned from a century-old tree back into a sapling in the blink of an eye.
If applied to an ordinary person, it would be enough to make an elderly person rejuvenate, or even worse, turn them into an embryo.
Moreover, the Time Reversal Spell has a drawback: the longer the reversal period, the heavier the backlash from the past.
Correspondingly, the more magic power is required.
Even with Dui's current strength, if he were to unleash this spell at full power, he could only rewind a hundred years at most.
However, the Valar and Maia of Valinor are immortal, and even elves have long lifespans, so the Time Reversal spell created by Dui, when applied to them, has virtually no lasting effect.
Dui also considered expanding this time reversal spell from a single-target effect to a group-wide effect, such as directly reversing time in a region.
However, the backlash from such prolonged exposure was too intense, and Dui couldn't even last a second.
It was as if he was trying to expand a bubble in the torrent of time to accommodate more people. The bigger the bubble, the greater the pressure it would bear, and in the end, the bubble was directly crushed by the power of time.
Therefore, he reluctantly abandoned this idea and is currently focusing on single-item time rewinding, giving up on expanding the breadth of time and instead exploring the depth of time.
If one could travel back thousands or tens of thousands of years, then the time magic he created could also exert a certain degree of power.
