Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 822 "Grasping" the Stars (Part 2)

"ended."

Having witnessed firsthand how the West Coast transformed from land into a vast ocean, the Sun Wizard felt no surprise, only awe at the power it possessed and a sense of helplessness at being unable to obtain it.

In that era celebrated by every Sun Wizard, wizards had no so-called "thresholds." The only thing limiting their acquisition of greater power was external material resources; there were no constraints or costs whatsoever.

The people of today cannot imagine that era; they can only fantasize about it through the power displayed by the only, and possibly the last, "Ninth-Level Holy Spirit Wizard" in the wizarding world.

After indulging in fantasies, one must face reality.

“Sidoo can no longer return. Only the Sun can contain the will of the 'Holy Spirit,' but even if it can contain it, it cannot preserve the original spirit… He will become part of the world's guardian along with the 'Holy Spirit' as it returns to the 'Wizard's Will.' From now on, you will be the new First Seat.”

Still reeling from the terrifying power of the "Ninth-Level Holy Spirit," Dinos nodded subconsciously, but his expression changed a moment later.

If he had known that the Sun Wizard was the only vessel that could contain the "Holy Spirit," and that the first seat of each Tower Alliance was responsible for becoming the "vessel" when necessary, he would have gladly accepted this position. However, after witnessing his mentor being forced to abandon himself and become part of the "Holy Spirit," his fear of this so-called "first seat" position far outweighed his expectations.

However, faced with the gazes of the three Sun Wizards, the apprentice, who had just lost his greatest protector, found that he had no other choice.

After a moment of silence, Dinos nodded slightly, as if using all the strength he had in his life.

“Very good, I believe you will do better than Theodore.”

Seemingly feeling somewhat guilty for pressuring an apprentice who had just lost his mentor, the third-seat Sun Wizard comforted him, saying, "This kind of thing doesn't happen often. At least in the twenty thousand years since wizards came to this world, this is only the second time that the 'Ninth-Level Holy Spirit' has been invoked."

Although she knew it was just a consolation prize, Dinos's expression still improved considerably after thinking about the 2 in 20,000 probability.

"For the next five hundred years, we will help you clean up this mess, as long as nothing like this happens again..."

Halfway through his speech, the third seat of the Tower Alliance suddenly stopped. When Dinos looked up in confusion, he saw a numb face.

"—!"

The shadows of the outer realms are stirring.

Passing the bewildered Dinos, the "Third Seat" turned his gaze to the two pale-faced Sun Wizards, the Fourth and Fifth Seats.

I sensed a similar will...

"Your Majesty Antonio—"

The panicked cries could not stop Dinos from understanding the name—a name that came from both the "Wizard's Will" and the "Holy Spirit Wizard," and was the name of the last wizard who led the wizard civilization from a "battlefield" to this world 20,000 years ago.

So, what does its presence here mean?

What is this "familiar taste" it's referring to?

And what is that shadow overhead that blocks out the sky?

The newly appointed "first seat" wizard could not comprehend it and could only watch helplessly as things continued to spiral out of control.

Yes, it remains unchanged, just as it was 20,000 years ago.

The "Third Seat" ignored the terrified reactions of the Fourth and Fifth Seats, and continued to mutter to himself.

Search, expand, plunder—then discover each other, and war begins.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Dinos saw a gradually reviving emotion in the eyes of the "Third Seat".

He was certain that it didn't belong to the Sun Wizard he knew, but rather to something both strange and familiar—

Antonio, that's my name.

Turning their gaze to the immobilized Dinos, the "Third Seat"... or rather, the Ninth-Level Holy Spirit Antonio eased his blockade of the surrounding "mana," giving the newly appointed "First Seat" a chance to catch his breath.

Child, you don't have much time.

"You...you really are..."

Ignoring the shock and anticipation in Dinos's eyes, Antonio had no time for it: [Leave with the wizards to find a new world to survive.]

The surge of emotion cooled instantly, and Dinos couldn't understand the meaning of those words for a moment.

Why leave?

Haven't we already won?

Wasn't I here for my own sake?

……

All the questions were finally answered with a single sentence.

The flame of the wizard should not be extinguished here.

The fissure that appeared out of nowhere sucked the unresponsive wizard directly in, and after sealing off all possible remaining information in the most brutal way, Antonio... the former ninth-level holy spirit, now the wizard's will, faced the "shadow" that covered the sky.

With his "radiation field" covering the entire planet, he is the only person on this planet who can "see" what this shadow is.

—A palm.

With fingers spread out, as if trying to "hold" an egg, the palm keeps falling towards the "surface".

Stimulated by this "similar" hand, the part of the wizard's will belonging to "Antonio" was awakened from its 20,000-year slumber, and with the help of the spirit of the Sun Wizard, it gained the ability to continue thinking.

Following the timeline, he recalled how he integrated his will into the world and seized the planet's "Gaia Consciousness".

He recalled how, 20,000 years ago, he led the surviving wizards to escape to this strange world.

He recalled that war, a war that used the entire civilization called "Wizards" as firewood, burning everything to ashes.

He recalled the being who had been discovered, explored, and followed, but who had ultimately pushed them into the abyss—

He recalled that name—

[Fragments]

Fueled by all the power of its "body," the "mana" on the entire planet's surface surged and pressed towards the sky like boiling water—a force capable of evaporating the ocean, splitting mountains, and propelling the planet forward.

But everything was just like the twenty thousand years he remembered—

The fallen "shadow" completely ignored all his resistance, just as the "fragments" ignored the anger and despair of all the wizards and insisted on starting the war that swept across thousands of planes.

Just before everything connected to the planet was "joined together," Antonio suddenly realized the truth.

—In this war known as "The Fragments," wizards have never been far away.

P.S.: Fourth update

Wizard Civilization: Chapter 823 Wizard Civilization (Part 1)

Following the remains left behind by the "Holy Spirit Wizard," Lin Yi found his memories as a wizard, along with the past and present history of this wizarding civilization...

Long ago, the wizarding civilization was not as fragile as it is today, and the existence of Holy Spirit-level wizards was not limited to a single, dubious "Ninth-Level Holy Spirit Antonio," but rather encompassed a vast race that had invaded hundreds of higher-dimensional planes. The saying "Stars are as numerous as dogs, Holy Spirits roam the earth" probably best describes that most glorious era of the wizards.

However, all of this was destroyed with the arrival of a war.

Here's a question to ask: where do the wizards' power come from?

The current "Wizard Civilization" is barely surviving on the back of a "Level Nine Holy Spirit" who has replaced the planet's will. It transforms its radiation field to cover the planet's surface, turning it into active energy that can be accepted and contained by every wizard, giving wizards the possibility of growth and gaining power.

However, this also caused the wizards to lose their direction. No matter how great the gap was between the Holy Spirit Wizards and the Star Wizards, as long as the Holy Spirit remained the Holy Spirit, it could no longer "nourish" another Holy Spirit with its own power. What limited the growth of this "wizard civilization" was not only "constraints" but also reality, unless they could find another kind of energy like "mana," which was nearly inexhaustible and could be controlled by the wizards—this was also what the "fragments" had once given them.

According to Antonio's memory, the oldest legend circulating in the wizarding civilization before its disintegration was about the birth of the first wizard.

Unlike the fantasies of all races who have some knowledge of wizards, the earliest wizards were not only not intelligent, but in some ways even more foolish than incompetent mortals. The only "correct" thing they did in their lives was to discover an unknown entity and, through a "trade," obtain from that entity the original method of wizarding, "meditation." At that time, mortals who could not yet be called wizards simply wanted to make themselves a little "smarter"...

It must be said that any existence in a higher dimension must possess power that is incomprehensible to those in a lower dimension, even something as simple as meditation. Through the practice of meditation, the first "wizard" gradually detached himself from the mortal community. Long periods of immersion and contemplation endowed him with calm wisdom—this is the wizards' strongest spear and sharpest shield, and it also gave him new desires.

He craved power.

So he sought a second deal with the unknown being, and in exchange for serving that being, he obtained an energy that could be freely manipulated and interfered with by those who had practiced meditation. That was the original source of "mana," and then it made a pact with the first wizard.

In the contract, a wizard can teach meditation to anyone, and can also give anyone the method of using this energy that can be manipulated and interfered with. However, in exchange, every wizard who has practiced meditation and become powerful enough must provide it with power when necessary.

And so, the civilization of wizards was born, accompanied by a contract rooted in the power, body, consciousness, and soul of every wizard.

The earliest wizards were cautious and calm. They used their immature powers to explore the world they lived in and, like those backward civilizations, spent hundreds of years vying for power and status. But with the birth of the first Star Wizard, the wizards who had already dominated the entire planet felt dissatisfied.

The limited land restricted the development of wizards, but there was no second option for them to migrate to the planet they lived on, so they found that unknown entity and proposed a third deal to it.

As a result, the wizards acquired a technology that allowed them to teleport and transform the world, but at the cost of "returning" 80% of everything they gained during their explorations to the unknown, especially intelligence, which they were required to keep secret...

Some wizards who foresaw the crisis tried to stop this prosperous scene that built civilization on the foundation of the second, but the wizards who were immersed in their yearning and expectation for a wider world ignored their opinions and readily accepted the suggestion.

In the time that followed, the wizards left their narrow world and discovered one alien dimension after another, witnessing one civilization after another... But without exception, they all contributed to the growth of the wizards.

War broke out.

There was no excuse; it was an invasion campaign launched solely for resources and interests.

With the increasing power of the stars, weak civilizations were destroyed, races were exterminated, and planets were occupied. From this point on, wizards officially entered their most prosperous and flourishing period.

Using the "meditation method," "mana," and "world travel technology" bestowed by an unknown entity, the wizards transformed from a localized indigenous civilization into a terrifying group that constantly searches, invades, and expands.

That era was the most glorious era for wizards. Countless civilizations perished at the hands of wizards, countless civilizations chose to surrender when faced with wizards, and countless civilizations left their homes to avoid the approach of wizards... In the vast dimensional sea, only one being could make its voice heard.

wizard.

……

All of this continued until they encountered the second "fragment" civilization.

Unlike the dominant wizard civilization, where other civilizations were merely subordinate, the second "fragment" civilization encountered by the wizards was a completely different extreme. The symbols representing their faction alone numbered over thirty, not to mention those civilizations and races that were not qualified to leave symbols on their own.

With the power of dozens of Holy Spirit Wizards, the wizards were the first to discover the existence of this "fragmented" civilization during their exploration of the alien land. Before the wizards could decide how to deal with this civilization that had suddenly entered their field of vision, an order from the "unknown existence" had already been conveyed.

Find them, then kill them.

From bestowing everything necessary for the birth of the first wizard to the delivery of this command, this is the first time that the "unknown being" has truly revealed its purpose with its own will. Before the wizards could react to the anomaly, this sudden war has been prolonging, extending, and deepening at a speed beyond everyone's imagination.

From the sudden attack to the full-scale war, from the struggle for the front-line star systems to the destruction and massacre of the rear positions, this event, which should have taken years to complete, was accomplished in less than a day. So much so that when the news of the successive falls of the Holy Spirits came, the wizards thought it was just a joke...

Wizard Civilization: Chapter 824 Wizard Civilization (Part 2)

Amidst confusion and fear, the wizards were forced to fight against the "Fragment" civilization with all their might, while at the same time turning their attention back to the unknown entity that had given them the possibility of birth and the way to grow.

It was at this time that the wizards discovered something.

That ancient "transaction," almost forgotten, never failed. Only the wizards forgot it—they practiced meditation without knowing anything, gaining access to "mana," accepting this gift of power with joy and complete ignorance, unaware of the unfair contract hidden behind it.

Those wizards who were replaced and perished during the growth of wizarding civilization were fortunate; they were given a constraint that did not need to be fulfilled. But today's wizards are unfortunate... especially the more powerful the wizard.

In the less than half a month of all-out war, the number of holy spirits that the wizards lost was one-third of the entire civilization—more than fifty holy spirit wizards were forever lost in the endless void. In exchange for this, the wizard civilization gained a brief respite.

They used every means to break this ancient covenant, while also searching for the root cause of the Holy Spirits' descent at such a terrifying speed.

The wizards failed against the former, while the latter...

"...As the practice of meditation deepens and the mastery of 'mana' grows, the more powerful the wizard, the more they will be affected by 'it'. The Holy Spirits who master the ability to manipulate reality with their minds are the most direct example of this. It can be said that at the moment the 'contract' is executed, the Holy Spirits lose control of themselves and can only fight to victory or death as a 'puppet'."

The memory remaining in the ninth-level Holy Spirit Antonio was so clear that Lin Yi could still feel his despair and fear as he flipped through it.

Even if it dons the cloak of fairness and presents itself as a benign transaction, it cannot change the predatory nature inherent in the "fragments." Its apparent lack of desire is merely a facade during its search for a target; once a target is found, it erupts into a relentless battle and struggle, regardless of the cost…

Through the deciphering of another "Fragment" civilization, the wizards learned that they were in the same predicament as the wizards. However, unlike the wizards who had only known the existence of the "Fragments" as "unknown" until now, they had already won a war under the influence of the "Fragments" and learned its name at the moment of victory.

—Fragments

And the name of this war

—The War of Fragments.

Thoughts were infiltrated, wills were dominated, souls were usurped... The terror lurking beneath the power filled every wizard with dread, and Antonio, as a Holy Spirit Wizard, was no exception. Or rather, faced with this situation, the Holy Spirits were the most fearful and panicked group.

After a brief lull in the war, both sides rallied to regroup and resumed fighting. This time, the wizards faced not only another "fragmented" civilization as their "enemy," but also themselves.

Using themselves as test subjects, the wizards embarked on an "experiment" that lasted for two hundred years.

Is the soul being transferred to circumvent the "contract"?

invalid.

To scatter one's mind in order to avoid "constraints"?

invalid.

Blocking the perception of "mana" to interrupt ancient trade?

invalid.
