Lin Fan and Rokuko both looked at Weiss with shocked and confused looks when they heard this.
After all, they never would have thought that Weiss, the god of magic, would actually go along with this.
The dungeon core just gave a happy laugh as he said, “Grandpa, I have a grandpa too now!”
Weiss didn’t mind this at all as he said, “Yes, I have a grandson too now.”
The two of them seemed like they were happy about this, but Rokuko couldn’t help feeling that this was very wrong. After all, the dungeon cores were created by Weiss, so no matter what, it would be destroying the proper relationship between them and that was just too hard for Rokuko to accept.
She couldn’t let this happen.
They should be sister and brother, but now they were acting as if they were mother and son.
So she had to say something.
But before Rokuko could say anything, Weiss suddenly said, “It isn’t as strange as you think since this dungeon core is different from the others.”
Right…he was a god, he could read their thoughts…
Both Rokuko and Lin Fan looked at Weiss with a confused look when they heard this, so he took the crystal ball in his hand and raised it in front of him. As he did, there was a projection that suddenly appeared.
Rokuko didn’t think too much of this, but Lin Fan couldn’t help being shocked.
That was because the way that the crystal ball was projecting this, it was something that was familiar to him. This was something that he had only seen in fiction back on Earth, he had never expected to see this thing in real life.
It was simply a holographic projector.
When this crystal ball was raised, there was an image that was projected out of the crystal ball in the air in front of Weiss. This was an image that neither of them could understand, but the technology alone was enough to stun Lin Fan.
After he let them look at it for a bit, Weiss said, “Do you understand now?”
But all that answered him were the confused looks of Lin Fan and Rokuko.
After all, this was a complicated diagram and neither of them were able to make heads or tails of this thing. They tried their best to understand what was in front of them, but they just weren’t able to understand a single thing from this.
The diagram seemed to show the flow of something, but they had no idea what this flow being demonstrated was.
Weiss shook his head with a sigh before saying, “This is such a simple diagram and you still can’t understand it. I really don’t know what you two are doing with yourselves.”
Both of them couldn’t help revealing awkward looks when they heard this.
It wasn’t that they were hurt by the things that Weiss said.
It wasn’t even that it was because of Lin Fan that they revealed these awkward looks.
It was because of Rokuko that they released these awkward looks.
The way that Weiss had said this was almost like he was a parent that was disappointed with his children…though this was technically true since Rokuko was a creation of Weiss’ as a dungeon core.
Still, it felt strange because Rokuko’s education had been up to Lin Fan.
He was the one that had found her when she had been a newly formed dungeon core and then he was the one that took her in, showing her all kinds of different things. But now…they were together.
So when Weiss said it like this, it made them feel very awkward as they remembered how they used to be.
After saying these things for a bit, Weiss suddenly explained, “This is a diagram showing the flow of energy in the dungeon core system. It shows how the magic power from the magic continent flows to form the dungeon cores.”
Lin Fan and Rokuko looked at each other in blank dismay before turning to look more carefully at the diagram in front of them.
But no matter how they looked at it, it didn’t really make any sense to them.
Weiss could also see this, so he just gave a sigh and pointed at a spot on the diagram to say, “Do you see this?”
They looked at where he was pointing and just revealed even more confused looks.
Weiss didn’t say anything right away as he just looked at the two of them.
With the way that he was looking at them, it was almost as if he was waiting for them to say something. It was almost as if he was waiting for them to figure something out on their own.
But he just revealed a disappointed look when they both just kept looking at him with confused looks, like they had no idea what was happening.
Still, it didn’t seem like he was planning on waiting all day for them to figure it out on their own.
Weiss just pointed at that spot again and said, “If you look at it closely, you can see that there’s a strange flow of energy here. It’s as if there is some kind of other energy that has flowed into the dungeon core system that is also supplying the dungeon core system.”
The two of them just looked even more confused when they heard this since this was just too complicated for them.
Weiss shook his head again before saying with a sigh, “Alright, I’ll put it in simple terms for you. The magic energy that comes from the magic continent creates magic cores naturally. This new flow of energy is not magic energy, but rather spiritual energy from the cultivation continent. This is what created this dungeon core that you’ve brought with you.”
“Huh?” Both Lin Fan and Rokuko could only answer with that.
Rokuko still had the same confused look on her face, but Lin Fan had a look of slow understanding on his. It seemed like he was slowly starting to understand what Weiss was trying to tell them.
But Weiss felt like he had already wasted enough time waiting for them to figure it out on their own, so he said, “This new flow of energy that created this new dungeon core, how do you think it came to be? It’s because of the link that came from Rokuko creating her dungeon on the cultivation continent.”
Lin Fan slowly said, “Then you’re saying that it’s because of Rokuko that the spiritual energy was available to the dungeon core system and that was what created this new dungeon core?”
Weiss gave a nod as he looked at Lin Fan with a look of praise.
After all of that, he had finally figured it out even though Rokuko still looked confused about all of this.
This meant that in a way, Rokuko really was like a mother to the dungeon core.
Because she was the one that had created this link with the dungeon core system, allowing it to tap into the spiritual energy of the cultivation continent, this dungeon core came to be.
So in a way, the dungeon core really came from Rokuko.
But there was something that Lin Fan still had to confirm, “Then since there was one dungeon core created, does that mean that there could be others created as well?”
Weiss nodded and said, “That’s right. Now that the dungeon core system is linked to the spiritual energy of the cultivation continent, it means that there will be more spiritual energy absorbed by the dungeon core system. When that happens, more and more dungeon cores will be created on the cultivation continent.”
Lin Fan immediately knitted his brows when he heard this.
It wasn’t because the dungeon was the one thing that his city relied on to prosper.
It was because of the chaos that these new dungeons could bring.
If someone were to discover one and somehow manage to control it, on the cultivation continent where there was little knowledge about dungeons in the first place. The dungeon would cause much trouble if it was left unchecked and it could cause even more trouble if someone were to misuse it.
Lin Fan looked at Weiss who just said, “I know what you’re thinking about, but it won’t happen for some time.”
Lin Fan just looked at Weiss with a confused look when he heard this.
Weiss calmly explained, “It takes a long time for dungeon cores to form in the first place. Why do you think that there are so few dungeons in the first place? Is it because the humans keep destroying them? No, it’s because they take a long time to form.”
Weiss turned to look at the dungeon core that was still on the table and said, “This one is special since it was the first dungeon core formed. It wasn’t as strong, it could even be considered a prototype created by the dungeon core system to see if it could use spiritual energy to create a dungeon core.”
Weiss just patted the dungeon core with a smile before turning back to say, “For the next one, it could take several hundred years before it forms. So you don’t need to worry since I’ll be creating a way to manage these dungeons in the future.”
Lin Fan was surprised that Weiss had already thought all of this through, but he could see that Weiss really had thought of everything.
There wasn’t anything else that he could think of that was wrong with this.
But he was confused why Weiss was working this hard on this in the first place.
