Yiye Zhiqu: "Indeed, there were elements of serendipity involved, but that's not the main point. Let me share my insights... Ultimately, mages are the ultimate answer to this game!"

Knowledge Exploded: "Wait, you can cast spells now?!"

Yiye Zhiqu: "No, but NPCs can."

Without concealing his chance encounter, Yiye Zhiqu recounted the events of the afternoon, vividly emphasizing the impressive figure of Lord Demon King controlling the elements.

With just a wave of his hand, Lord Demon King did what took these skeleton soldiers an entire half-day of wits and bravery to achieve, killing large swaths of Earth Cave Spiders...

The exaggerated description even made Luo Yan, who was secretly watching, blush.

In the end, Yiye Zhiqu also specifically mentioned the changes when breaking through the LV3 bottleneck.

Especially the changes in the Spirit and Intelligence attributes!

He was no longer a brainless skeleton soldier, but had transformed into an intelligent elite monster!

Village Elder: "Now that you've got an MP bar, you should be able to learn skills, right?!"

Yiye Zhiqu: "If all goes well, that should be the case, but for the time being, I haven't figured out a way to learn skills."

Observing the players' interactions on the forum, Luo Yan's thoughts became animated.

"Youyou, is there a way to teach players how to use magic?"

Since the players now had MP bars, it would be a waste not to take advantage of it.

Moreover, in Luo Yan's impression, there existed "Skeleton Mages" in the world of the undead.

Although they couldn't produce human voices, they could still communicate with the elements of nature in their own way and harness their Extraordinary Power.

Similarly,

even if players didn't know the language of the Otherworld, language shouldn't be a barrier to casting spells.

Youyou, reflected for a moment in the mirror, then provided Luo Yan with a surprising answer.

"Yes, there is... Hmm, although I wonder if it's too early, since Lord Demon King's impression has already made a deep mark in the hearts of players, I think the time is almost right for you to add some settings for your players."

"Settings? What do you mean?" Luo Yan asked, confused.

Youyou explained it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"It's about adding tenets for your devotees, whether it's by personally delivering divine edicts or through the mouth of a spokesperson... Isn't this very common for deities?"

Common?

Maybe it's common in this world, right?

Seeing that Luo Yan still didn't fully understand, Youyou continued to explain energetically.

"For example, the followers of Saint Sis say that Saint Sis brought Holy Light, so then the world had Holy Light... That's the most typical setting!"

Luo Yan was momentarily taken aback.

"You mean... Holy Light was defined into existence? It didn't exist before then?"

Youyou nodded its abstract head, "Of course! Where in the spectrum of nature would you find such convenient light? People of this world might not know, but you should be clear about it, right?"

"Actually, it's not just Holy Light, most of the magic in this world works the same way. Essence, it's essentially like praying to the Elemental Essences, calling upon Elemental Fire, Elemental Wind, Elemental Water... You've noticed that too, right? Elemental Fire, for example, differs from fire in reality, doesn't it?"

Indeed.

Luo Yan nodded deeply, having been curious about this question for a long time.

Fire in reality is essentially a gaseous or plasma substance at high temperatures, and what people often see is the phenomenon presented by the substance.

However, the fireball he conjured with a spell was different.

The flame did not rely on the existence of any substance but burned in the void, consuming an abstract force known as "Extraordinary Power," independent of any specific material, and might not even involve an oxidation reaction.

"I think I roughly get what you mean... So, Extraordinary Power's essence is actually a kind of belief?"

"Exactly! Extraordinary Power and the power of belief are essentially one and the same! Or to put it more plainly, so-called deities are the collective strength of the people, materializing what humans firmly believe into something that actually exists!"

At this point, Youyou couldn't help but add a small jab of sarcasm.

"Speaking of which, Lord Demon King, are you just realizing this now? The settings of 'Disaster OL' have been hinting at this right from the beginning."

Uh...

Really?

If it's the line "the people of the First Epoch used Extraordinary Power to forge divinity," such a description is indeed too abstract.

Luo Yan pressed his temple and got straight to the point.

"So what should I do concretely? Like Saint Sis or the Demon God, create a whole new system of magic? Couldn't that be too difficult for us?"

He only had a hundred or so believers.

Aside from the players, there might just be a few who were locked in a cage, and the girl on duty at the convenience store.

If even a god like him could create something out of nothing and invent a type of magic, wouldn't the species of this planet have ascended to the stars long ago, achieved psychic transcendence, and overpowered matter with will?

Youyou: "No need to make it so complicated! Look, His Majesty the Demon God didn't invent a new magic system, right? You should be the clearest about it, the magic system used in Hell is still the one from the Netherworld God's era, just with some improvements."

"The Second Epoch is different from the First Epoch, the predecessors and former gods have set a multitude of rules, which is like perfecting this world's underlying code!"

"So, you don't need to recreate a whole new type of magic. At least for now, all you need to do is refer to the existing magic or martial techniques and directly set them for the players!"

"Even letting your players use Holy Light would be fine! Just that Holy Light inherently includes the rule of restraining the Undead, and considering you've already allied with the Netherworld God's system, Youyou doesn't recommend you do that!"

"Directly set?! You mean, just update these things in the settings and it's good? Just... that simple?"

Luo Yan was somewhat incredulous.

Yet Youyou confidently nodded its abstract head.

"Yes, yes! Just that simple! After all, when players use skills, they're using their own Extraordinary Power, consuming their own MP, invoking the 'code' that exists in this world, so it's not strictly using your power. Rather, you're both utilizing the inherent power of the world itself!"

"Once you've defined the creed, all you have to do is find a mentor to teach them a few times, letting them know what the skills actually look like, what effects they have. Then Youyou will add a 'UI' for skill release to the players' interface, or you can personally teach them a Spell that focuses their spiritual power, and your little players will be able to use the skills normally!"
