Listening to the Field Marshal claim that Lorenzo and Leo have figured out the workings of the VR Universe and so have the other renowned researchers of the five regions, Wyatt was not surprised. Illusion arts of the card world was not shallow. In fact, many card ancestors have proposed something similar but they never achieved it. Not to mention their vision was not on a grander scale as the VR universe. Loe was on to this back when he came to meet Wyatt in the auction house. Seeing how Field Marshal was so proud of her husband and his junior brother, Wyatt guessed those two used this opportunity to show in front of Field Marshal. Poor Lorenzo, his big brain was the only thing an compensate for his lack of strength in the marriage, but what about Leo? Was he helping his senior brother show off? Thinking of this Wyatt felt pity for Lorenzo. Things one was willing to do to impress their life partner.
Field Marshal frowned seeing that Wyatt continued to be indifferent to her news. Feeling challenged she continued to say, "We already know that the VR Universe is an illusion, an imitative representation of Life, the cosmos itself. The otherworldly knowledge that the natives possess in the VR Universe has been discovered by them. Just like how we, card apprentices, discovered our unique Card and Grimoire power system. Since this illusion runs on itself any interference can cause it to collapse. This means you cannot interfere in the progress of the illusion. You can be part of the illusion like the rest of us. At most as its creator, you can act as its protector and destroyer but in no way as its manipulator. Especially considering your realm it is already a miracle you can create such high-level illusion. If not for it being in the grimoire network, no miracle would be enough for you to create the same illusion in the real world. Knowing that your involvement in VR Universe is limited because it trying to replicate reality as perfectly as possible, is what makes it worth investing in it. When things are like this how do you plan to give the students of the Southern academic city access to the otherworldly knowledge of the VR Universe?" Wyatt listened to everything the Field Marshal had to say patiently, from her words he understood that there seemed to be many misunderstandings about the VR Universe among the illusion community. This was mostly because their mastery of illusion arts was nowhere close to modern virtual reality simulation and the Devil Merchant code's illusion arts. Had their mastery of illusion arts been the same as that of the Devil Merchant code they would know that Wyatt was the master of the VR universe, in it he was omniscient. If did not like something in the VR Universe be it topography or beings or the direction of evolution he could just rewrite their program. However, Wyatt would not do so unless it was necessary because it was too much of a hassle as he would have to follow the law of casualty and change everything that led to that point otherwise many variables would pop up and the parts of the VR Universe influenced by that change would start to fall apart. If the influence of the change was huge then Wyatt would risk the entire VR Universe falling apart. So, in a way the illusionists of the Card world were correct but if Wyatt wanted to he could act god in the VR Universe, with the help of Hive AI and devil merchant code it would be easier for him to do so.
Wyatt had no plans to enlighten the card world on their illusion arts. Because of their lack of knowledge, they were beginning to invest enormous wealth in the VR Universe thinking that the VR universe was absolutely free from Wyatt's manipulation and just another free market with lots of prospects. Thanks to this Wyatt was earning money as if he were printing them.
Continuing to see nothing but indifference in Wyatt's face despite wasting so many words Field was puzzled wondering why he was so calm when she revealed that they figured out he had no control over VR Universe except for destroying it. Wyatt's indifference in this matter left a bad taste in her mouth. "Have you forgotten that the currency exchange system of the VR Universe was created by me? The five regions investing in it is a good thing. As for them figuring out how to create their version of VR Universe, it will not happen anytime. Even if they did, so what? All good things come to an end.
As for how do I plan to give the students of the Southern academic city access to the otherworldly knowledge of the VR Universe? Just like how I was able to establish the currency exchange system of the VR Universe. You guys are forgetting something, I have a lot of pull in the VR Universe. Besides, the natives of the VR Universe are also same card apprentices, as long as you name the correct price they will dig their ancestor's graves and give their bones to you, let alone their otherworldly knowledge.
Trust me, I can make the Southern academic region more prosperous than it ever was," Wyatt stated confidently. He avoided lying to the Field Marshal and cleverly used his words to sound as genuine as possible to her divine intent. Field Marshal looked at Wyatt and wondered if he was truly a seventeen-year-old. Even she hyped by her husband's bragging, thought that Lorenzo barely understanding the secret of something Wyatt created on a whim for a wager as an achievement worth bragging about. She was not only disappointed in herself but her husband too. Wyatt's evaluation in her mind elevated to a whole new level. Field Marshal Heatsend might as well be considered as Wyatt's fan. She could not think of one thing that she could complain about him. Even his flaws were something she could not bring herself to complain about rather found herself justifying them. She was surprised that a teenager had such a high level of charisma. If she could decide on the Southern academic region by herself, then she would instantly make Wyatt the city lord of the Southern academic region and give him full authority over all the institutes of higher learning in it. However, she did not but she could make a strong case for him with her niece and the royal court. As for her husband, he would agree with her. But to do that she had to ask the most important question pointing out the obvious flaw in Wyatt's plan, "Wyatt, let us say you can get the natives of the VR Universe to share their knowledge with our students but you know that we are card apprentice our core is card creation. For us, the other fields you spoke about are secondary knowledge that is used to help us create new cards. If the students have a very shaky foundation in card creation how are they supposed to use the knowledge they learned in the VR Universe and apply it in the Card World? Unless you find an answer to that even if I want to help you I cannot. Because all that knowledge will lead the students astray from the Grimoire and Cards power system." Listening to Field Marshal, Wyatt nodded in understanding. He agreed with her. The Grimoire and Card power system was the only official power system of this world recognized by its World Will. Feeding the students knowledge in other fields when their knowledge of cards was shallow would only lead them astray. Not everyone was like Wyatt in that they could cultivate multiple power systems at a time. Not to mention, the only way Wyatt was able to cultivate multiple power systems at a time without any accident was because they were recognized by the Card World as a part of his origin card, trait, or physique. Be it the Camamity Soul gem, Viltronian power system, or Mutated Soul and division system, they were actually recognized and blessed by the Card World's Will when Wyatt underwent the baptism. Otherwise, regardless of how much preparation Wyatt had made, there was no way he could achieve success in these power systems as a card apprentice without the approval of the World's will. Another example of this was Corey Park, Aba Davis, and the other Demon/Devil worshippers. Corey Park and Aba Davis's origin cards were approved by the Card World's will so they could cultivate the demonic power system. Similarly, the demons/devils knew of this and created demon/devil summoning cards and other demonic cards for their believers, the devil/demon worshipers. Belphegor's demon summoning card disguised as an Equal Exchange demonic card was the perfect example of this. The demons/devils were fully aware that Card apprentices could cultivate multiple power systems thanks to the uniqueness of their grimoire and card power system. And they fully took advantage of this. It's correct to say that Card apprentices can copy any power system using their cards but wrong to say the other way around. Not all power systems can become Card apprentices unless they have a minimum of 10 percent active soul control. Which was rare as not many did not involve soul cultivation in their power system. Even the Dark races prefer physical train at the lower thanks to the advantage of their physique, traits, and bloodline. Wyatt's plan closed the knowledge gap Southern Academic City had compared to the Central Academic City in many secondary fields but it fell short in the primary field, the card creation. The students need the minimum knowledge in card creation required for them to adapt the knowledge of the secondary field into their grimoire and card power system. Wyatt could not turn to the Infinity Library to solve this problem as in the cosmos the Central academic city was the leader when it came to knowledge on Card Creation and grimoire. If Wyatt could not solve this problem then introducing the otherworldly knowledge of the VR Universe to the students would not be ideal.
