Chapter 1061 -1058: Creating Something from Nothing
“Creation from nothing.”
A complete sentence emerged in Li Si Te’s (Liszt) mind.
It was one of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, originally meaning to create something from nothing, akin to fabricating out of thin air. It was also an inspiration that suddenly struck him; perhaps the barrier of magic power was essentially “creation from nothing.” However, this “creation from nothing” did not mean an unfounded “creation,” but rather a creation from “nothing.”
According to the triangular theory, magic power could be transformed from both material and mental aspects, which all falls under “creation from something.”
Hence, ordinary flames and Fire Attribute Mana belonged to “creation from something,” so it did not involve any barrier information. However, the relationship between Volcanic Super Magic and magma belonged to creation from nothing, which led him to believe that Volcanic Super Magic was a product of barrier creation.
“The origin of Volcanic Super Magic is ‘nothing,’ but forming this ‘nothing’ requires stringent conditions. In my view, the high-temperature environment of the magma and the rich Fire Attribute Mana provide a good hotbed for forming ‘nothing.’ And this ‘nothing,’ more or less, resembles an essence of the world.”
It was difficult to articulate Liszt’s inspiration at the moment, much like “applause should be here.” The environment represented by “nothing” was essentially “as it should be.”
In places where Super Magic should exist, Super Magic exists.
Essentially, the magic power barrier is such an abstract concept.
“So to touch the barrier of Fire Attribute Mana, I must understand this ‘nothing,’ achieve ‘as it should be’… Now, does this seem more like an idealist worldview?” He sent a “follow me” message to Leo, then suddenly burst out of the magma.
Transformed into a phoenix engulfed in flames, he hovered above the volcano crater.
Quickly, Leo also burst from the magma, transformed into a sinister red and black Fire Dragon, allowing Liszt, who had returned to human form, to land on the Dragon Tooth Platform and swiftly complete the Dragon Knight Resonance, linking minds.
“Leo, I might have found the barrier!”
Sharing his insight with Leo, their thoughts explored and fused continuously. Soon, Leo let out a deafening roar, “Oh!”
It was expressing the excitement shared with Liszt.
“Touch the barrier, find ‘as it should be’!” Man and dragon sensed the path ahead clear suddenly, as the dense fog enveloping the Dragon Knight Cultivation System’s path rapidly dispersed.
Dragon’s Super Magic and Superior Magic Dragon Dou Qi shone constantly in interaction. It was another attempt by man and dragon to apply the idealist worldview, “as it should be,” to the materialist real world. Liszt predominantly led, with Leo assisting—Liszt understood idealism and materialism better.
He had been educated in materialism back on Earth, resulting in a deeply ingrained materialist worldview. Transported to this world unshrouded by religion and gods, even though magic introduced fantastical elements, the world fundamentally remained materialist.
But that doesn’t mean idealism is wrong—Indeed, no one on Earth could prove that idealism is absolutely incorrect.
Idealism and materialism are merely two different philosophical methods to comprehend the world.

Liszt knew little about philosophy; at this moment, he was using the two terms to express his insight into exploring the barrier: “The barrier is a door, Leo, it exists in this world, strictly guarding the triangular theory of magic power, material, and spirit, maintaining the world’s operation, and what we need to do is to push open this door.”
“How do we push it open?”
“Push it open from within ourselves, because the barrier, this door, also exists within our hearts, as we are all part of the world. To become as powerful as the Dragon of the Magic Web, we must open this door, break through the triangular theory, step outside the world’s operational system… and touch it!”
Leo landed on the summit of the volcano, and Liszt sat on its back, the afterglow of the sunset casting a golden glow on man and dragon, as though they were a motionless statue.
Yet, their hearts were aflame, as magic power and Dou Qi boiled within.
Materialism had long been ingrained in his worldview, and to assimilate an idealistic perspective was like negating himself; yet, it was the only path to transcendence.
“Difficult!”
“Truly difficult!”
“Even though I’ve come to understand the real meaning of barriers, I still have no clue about how to break them,” he said as he slowly shook his head while the sun dipped completely below the horizon, his lips curling into a smile, “but… I have indeed successfully touched the barrier!”
The long-unseen Smoke Serpent Script floated before his eyes.
“Complete the task, receive the favor of destiny.”
The two hundred and third Smoke Mission, also the longest one, was finally successfully completed, earning him the long-anticipated reward of destiny’s favor.
At that moment,
Liszt understood the favor of destiny he was rewarded.
Because the Smoke Serpent Script before him didn’t morph into new scripts but slowly dissipated. At the same time in his mind, a smoky fog formed an oval seed—it didn’t look like a seed at all, yet Liszt knew it was one.
It could also be called a Smoke Dragon Seed.
It represented a brand-new Holy Dragon-Smoke Dragon, being nurtured in his mind just like Fire Dragon Leo and Water Dragon Walter had been in his body. Except the Smoke Dragon, in this form, was slowly breathing in and out the power of destiny in his mind.
“No more Smoke Missions from now on…”
“However, the power of destiny is slowly reviving. I don’t know how much time the Smoke Dragon needs to be nurtured, but clearly, I am the greatest beneficiary.”
“Because.”
“I am favored by destiny, the power of destiny centers around me, and everything will flow smoothly, extending blessings. In this moment, I am the Smoke Dragon!” He could feel the Smoke Dragon Seed in his mind, perhaps due to the long immersion, it had already been marked by him.
Which meant, even if the Smoke Dragon was nurtured, he would no longer need to ride it.
He even felt that the Smoke Dragon might not even develop an independent Dragon character.
Because unlike Fire Dragon Leo and Water Dragon Walter, all the nutrients of the Smoke Dragon Seed came from Liszt. There wasn’t the slightest power left from the previous generation of Smoke Dragon, even the power of destiny was gathered through Liszt. Task after task completed, destiny magnified over and over.
Declaring himself as the Smoke Dragon wasn’t mere boasting, but a fact.
“Moreover, I can also feel that the birth of this Smoke Dragon Seed has given me a newfound clear perspective on destiny. It’s as if I can myself avoid disasters and fortunes, even manipulating the threads of destiny around me… This power, for the first time, is truly under my control!”
Riding on Leo, he sprinted towards the distant Phoenix City.
While passing through the Phoenix Perch Parasol Forest, he immediately had a marvelous epiphany—a sense that within the forest, with just a thought, he could manipulate the threads of destiny to allow the two Phoenix Perch Parasol trees to nurture elves—and then he did exactly that.
Just then, Phoenix Perch Parasol Dragon Greater Elf Ani, riding the Flame Dragon Bird Little Red, appeared.
Liszt then told Ani, “Ani, keep an eye on these two trees, see if they nurture any Elf Bugs, and call me immediately if they do.”
Wearing a small-sized Knight’s Leather Armor, Ani slapped his chest confidently, “Leave this small task to me!”
