Xia Lian smiled, his tone still gentle, "Rely on the strength I left in your blood."

Sparrowhawk thought for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "Magic power?"

"That is also the power used by the gods."

Xia Lian said, "I gave it to you. It has unlimited potential, allowing you to go to heaven and earth, and even leave this world and go to a wider sky.

But obviously, in the past two thousand years, you have not really tapped into the potential of this power."

When Sparrowhawk heard this, he lowered his head in shame.

It turns out that magic is the power of the gods, but they don't know it at all.

"You have selflessly given us your strength and given us unlimited expectations, but now we are like this, and I feel guilty."

Xia Lian smiled and said, "It's not entirely your fault."

After a pause, Xia Lian continued, "Have you ever heard of a saying? It is better to teach a person how to fish than to teach him how to fish. It means that if you give someone a fish, it is better to teach him how to fish.

Fish is the purpose, and fishing is the means. A fish can relieve hunger for a while, but it cannot relieve hunger for a long time. If you want to have fish to eat forever, you must learn how to fish.

And I will teach you how to truly use this power."

"Really use this power?" The old man slowly raised his head.

Xia Lian raised his hand with a smile, pointed to the stream flowing on one side, and asked.

"What's this?"

The sparrowhawk looked at the stream and said, "It's water."

"Then do you know what water is made of?" Xia Lian asked.

Sparrowhawk was stunned for a moment. It was hard for him to understand. Water is just water. What else is it made of?

"Can you enlarge your vision?" Xia Lianda said.

Sparrowhawk nodded.

"Magnify your vision as much as you can, a hundred times or ten thousand times."

Although he was a little confused, Sparrowhawk still obeyed His words, stared at the stream, and kept amplifying his vision, and soon, when he reached the limit.

He saw that in the originally clear stream, there were countless transparent and invisible insects swimming in it, which was horrifying.

He cut off the supply of magic power and looked at Xia Lian with some horror.

"Then...what is that?"

"It seems that you have seen the microorganisms in the water." Xia Lian said with a smile. "This world is much more exciting than you imagined.

Even in seemingly clear streams, there are many microorganisms that are difficult to see with the naked eye. The reason why some people get sick when they drink water is often because of the microorganisms in it.

So whenever you drink water, it must be boiled to kill these microorganisms."

Sparrowhawk recalled the many people around him, and it seemed that many people did become sick after drinking raw water.

"Then do you know what are the things smaller than microorganisms in the water?" Xia Lian continued to ask.

"There are even smaller ones!?" Sparrowhawk said with horror.

Not just him, but also the people behind him.

"It is called a molecule, and water is composed of countless such water molecules, and in a water molecule, there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

Do you know what oxygen is?"

Xia Lian continued to ask with a smile, like a teacher who patiently teaches his students.

"Oxygen is in the air around you. It is invisible to the naked eye, but it is vital."

Xia Lian raised his hand, and the fifth element condensed in it.

"If there is no oxygen in the air..."

Sparrowhawk was still confused about the movements in front of him, but the next moment, he opened his eyes suddenly and covered his neck in pain.

He was breathing hard and could feel the air being sucked into his lungs, but it could not relieve his suffocation at the moment. His face turned red and he felt even more uncomfortable than when he had just faced the pressure of that existence.

.

But soon, he resumed breathing again. He pressed his hands on the ground and breathed in the air greedily. Things that were inconspicuous in the past were extremely precious to him now.

He seemed to realize something and raised his head to look at Xia Lian.

"What just disappeared was oxygen?"

Xia Lian nodded with a smile, "That is the most important thing for people to breathe and metabolize. At the same time, oxygen can also provide flame combustion. When the wind blows over the burning flame, the flame will burn brighter because the wind brings more

of oxygen.”

There was a sudden realization on Sparrowhawk's face, and he felt that the whole world became much clearer in his eyes. He looked at Xia Lian with longing eyes.

"What about hydrogen? What's the use of that?"

"Hydrogen is the lightest thing in the world. It is difficult to find it in the air around you because it has floated to the top of the world.

The reason why water does not float is because it forms water molecules with oxygen.

Although water and flame are in conflict with each other, the hydrogen inside it is a better burning material than wood."

Xia Lian raised his hand, and hydrogen gas that was compressed to the point of being visible to the naked eye appeared in his hand and quickly dissipated.

"Feel it, try to see if you can manifest it, and then ignite it."

Sparrowhawk looked at the hydrogen gas in Xia Lian's hand. It reached out and touched it, feeling its existence and its properties. Soon, it stretched out its hand.

Similar hydrogen appeared in its hands, and then.

"Huh~"

The azure flame exploded in its hand, burning fiercely. The unexpected power frightened the Sparrowhawk, and it almost burned its hair with the blue fire.

Feeling the consumption of magic power and the unexpected power, his entire view of magic was gradually collapsing and reshaping.

It turns out... magic can still be used in this way.

And such things are hidden in water everywhere, and it is entirely possible for humans to discover them on their own without the guidance of gods.

If... if human beings could observe water carefully, perhaps, the future of people at this moment would be completely different.

"Not just water, everything around you, rocks, trees, and even humans themselves are made of countless different atoms." Xia Lian continued.

Sparrowhawk couldn't help but raise his head again and said.

"This is how you created this world and created humans, right?"

Xia Lian smiled and said nothing.

But Sparrowhawk felt that He had acquiesced. Sparrowhawk cut off the flame and looked at the water vapor produced after the hydrogen burned, and he said regretfully and painfully.

"You gave us your knowledge and everything into this world, waiting for us to discover and use it.

However, we didn't realize it.

We are sitting on such a huge treasure of God, but we are completely unaware of it, and yet we are struggling in the midst of such a treasure.

I have lived for more than ninety years but have made no contribution to civilization.

We are sinners, sinners of history."

"Civilization needs to look forward. Those who only think about the past will only stop moving forward."

Xia Lian continued.

"This is what I want to teach you, this is God's knowledge.

It is the absolute truth in the world.

Atoms are just one branch. They can answer all your questions, such as why fruits fall instead of floating upwards, and why water freezes into ice in winter.

Another example is, what exactly is flame?

He can explain things that you are accustomed to but cannot explain.

Learn all this and you will be able to analyze the entire world.

I call it - 'science'."
