For a whole night, he was immersed in an in-depth exploration of this era, and chose to read detailed information about this era.
After a night of hard study, he finally understood the environment of this era a little bit and had a preliminary understanding of the overall picture of this world.
Combined with the "pre-civilization" information he was familiar with, Jia Lan gradually discovered that the era of 1,700 years ago really had no great connection with the current world.
Those ancient histories, cultures, and technologies seemed to have been washed away by the torrent of time.
It can even be said that due to the sudden civilization break, the new creatures have gradually developed a civilization system that belongs entirely to them.
Although they inherited some incomplete pre-civilization knowledge, it was only based on the pre-civilization knowledge, and they made innovations and developments suitable for themselves, rather than simply copying the pre-civilization knowledge.
Therefore, various knowledge systems have undergone such huge changes. Although they seem chaotic, they happen to conform to certain reasonable laws.
This cannot be entirely blamed on the scholars of this era who pieced together information. After all, in the previous civilization, knowledge was only in the hands of a very small number of people, and most people knew nothing about those profound studies.
And the explosion of the earth veins that broke out for unknown reasons became the fuse of the civilization's demise.
A large amount of arcane torrents and elemental tides surged out from the cracks between heaven and earth, causing an extinction-level blow to those high-level beings who mastered supernatural powers.
In this disaster, the higher the level of existence, the greater the impact, but ordinary civilians were not greatly affected because they lacked direct contact with elemental energy.
The so-called "earth vein explosion" was just one of the reasons for the great destruction.
According to literature records, with the explosion of the earth veins, a large area of animals and plants on the earth were infected, which affected the native species and caused unpredictable mutations.
These mutated creatures gradually multiplied into what they are now, forming today's world full of fantasy colors.
The descendants of the survivors gradually adapted to the environment and space that was highly filled with elements, and their physiques also evolved to a certain extent.
Although the degree of this evolution was not significant, it was enough for them to survive in this space full of dangerous elements like elemental creatures, without being seriously harmed by the elements' intense and active characteristics.
In the following 1,700 years, a system of mystical arts that was derived from but different from the arcane arts was gradually established and improved.
This system combines the elemental energy of the new era and the essence of the ancient arcane arts to form the current magic system.
No wonder Jia Lan noticed that the elemental particles in nature were hundreds and thousands of times more active than in his time, and the arcane particles in the space were so dense that they were almost sticky.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Surprisingly, although the arcane knowledge system has been completely lost in the long river of history, the magic knowledge system derived from the environment in the "Apocalypse Age" after the Great Destruction has not been weakened.
On the contrary, in this era, due to the high activity of elemental particles in nature and the rich and diverse elemental properties, a large number of powerful magicians who mastered supernatural powers emerged.
Their number increased on a large scale, making this era one of the most glorious and brilliant periods of magic civilization.
In the special environment of high concentration of elements, nature shows its amazing creativity and transformative power.
Countless wild animals and plants are deeply infected by elements in this land rich in elements, and their genes and cells have undergone unprecedented mutations and evolution.
Some creatures that were originally ordinary have acquired jaw-dropping new abilities. Some of them can control fire, some can call storms, and some are even born with the ability to use elements.
These strange creatures born from element mutations have been given mysterious and charming names by people - "magic creatures".
Among them, those animals with extraordinary powers are honored as "magic beasts", and plants are called "magic plants". Their existence undoubtedly adds a touch of fantasy and mystery to this era.
In those areas where elements are highly aggregated, even rocks and minerals have not been spared. They are also infected by elements and have certain elemental characteristics.
These rocks and minerals rich in element concentrations have been given mysterious names such as "magic stone", "magic iron", "magic crystal", and "magic mine".
They have not only become precious resources, but also an important cornerstone for the combination of magic and technology.
As for those humans who are born with elemental abilities, they are regarded as the treasures of this era. They are respected as magic geniuses and have become the favored sons of heaven.
In order to attract these geniuses with the innate ability to aggregate elements, major magic institutions have offered attractive conditions and treatment. This innate ability they have is called "element affinity", which is a talent that countless people dream of.
This era belongs to the era of elements. People's use and exploration of elemental energy has reached an unprecedented height.
From daily life to industrial production, from transportation to military warfare, elemental energy permeates people's lives everywhere.
For example, the goblin steam locomotive and dwarf airship that Jia Lan had witnessed on the street were the products of elemental energy, magic arrays, and combined with construction technology.
These magical means of transportation not only show the crystallization of human wisdom, but also demonstrate the powerful influence of elemental energy in this era.
Standing in this era full of fantasy and change, Jia Lan can't help but be impressed by the adaptability and creativity of creatures.
No matter how nature changes, the surviving creatures can always change themselves to adapt to the environment in harsh conditions.
To a certain extent, isn't this also an evolution and sublimation of life?
However, different times and different environments naturally have different survival rules.
Jia Lan knew that if he wanted to integrate into this era, he must master this ability to adapt to the environment. Otherwise, he would only be a weird outsider who was incompatible with the environment in the eyes of outsiders and difficult to be accepted by the public.
However, it is not easy to integrate into this era full of elements.
Jia Lan's "demon-repelling physique" became a huge stumbling block on his way forward.
He knew that he could not be like the people of this era who had gone through dozens of generations of inheritance and evolution, whose bodies had adapted to the changes in the elemental environment and could even coexist with the elements.
If he rashly imitated the people of this era and took elemental particles into his body, it is very likely that the elements would be unbalanced because too many unstable elements were stored in his body, and he would eventually explode into a pile of meat cubes with a "boom".
Jia Lan couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "The arcane magician stores arcane particles in his body by relying on the 'arcane energy spring' formed in his body. So how does the magician store elemental particles in his body?"
He was full of doubts and curiosity, but he had not read any books on this subject.
Just as he was about to go to the underground of the Great Library where higher-level magic books were kept to look for relevant information, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the heavy door of the Great Library...
