Chapter 529: New Epic Spell
Betty also stood up, bowed, and said: “I agree with Lord Ace’s viewpoint. We wizards should have infinite possibilities. We are constantly deepening our understanding of the truth and should not be confined to a certain aspect, as that would only bind our hands and feet.”
Everyone also began to continue the discussion. The topic gradually opened up, and everyone began to speak freely.
Ace also took the opportunity to present the pros and cons of the two different paths for everyone to choose for themselves.
“Domains and Laws, the two different paths, have their own advantages and disadvantages. In the Path of Domains, only one person can reach the top in a world. In layman’s terms, one domain is only enough for one True God.”
Everyone looked at Ace seriously, listening carefully to his words.
“Perhaps some people can expand the concept and scope of the domain and eventually become a Supreme God. But correspondingly, other latecomers, even if they are unparalleled talents, if they choose a domain where a Supreme God has appeared, unless they slaughter the god, there is no hope of surpassing them in this life.
“The Path of Laws is different. What we study is the truth. Everyone knows that truth is relative and has its scope of application. Within the scope, the same correct understanding may give birth to a group of wizards with strength equivalent to Demigods or even True Gods.
“Of course, since there are gains, there must be losses.
“For the pure Path of Laws, the key lies in cognition. Once cognition collapses, in lighter cases, there is no hope for further progress in this life; in severe cases, the mental imagery collapses, and the True Spirit annihilates. Although only one person can reach the top in the Path of Domains, the one who reaches the top is immortal and coexists with the world.”
Everyone was thoughtful, especially Polina, who was currently managing the Vampire affairs, asked: “Then can we take both paths into account at the same time?”
Ace smiled and said gently: “Of course you can. But whether you can take both into account depends on yourself. However, I don’t guarantee whether they will affect each other. Every domain is too marvelous and has incredible influences.”
Polina nodded thoughtfully. She and Caruso were the creators of the Vampire Clan. After the appearance of Vampires in this world, they even incorporated them and discovered that the Vampires of this world all came from “Fantasia.”
Seeing Ace publicizing the faith of the “God of Dreams and Magic network” with great fanfare, she and Caruso were also tempted. However, what Ace said was indeed a problem. Domains were actually very complex and marvelous. For example, a Devil Wizard—if one truly became a devil through some emotion, no one could predict what changes would occur.
After fully exchanging ideas about the future path, Ace began to arrange the current deployment. His biggest script currently was to unify the entire surface continent and unite the faith and destiny of the entire continent under one flag.
“Our current strategic goal is very clear. I must advance to Demigod and lay the foundation for godhood. Only in this way can we defeat the Holy Light in this world and completely transform this world into a Wizard World.
“We need to unify the surface. One Empire, One Faith, One Destiny!
“The Bernard Empire conquers the western states from the center; the Southern Alliance attacks the eastern coast; the Northern Wizards step up attacks on the wild tribes. I am responsible for central coordination, extending the Magic network and dream mist. Once the Angel King appears, I will appear immediately.”
Everyone accepted the orders one after another. They also knew that Ace had profound attainments in space magic and could indeed handle the descent of the Angel King, appearing immediately.
Bayen and Betty went to the imperial palace to discuss specific strategies and tactics with Yamila. Other wizards also took their leave one by one. Only Daina stayed here, hesitating to speak.
Ace gently stroked the top of Daina’s head and said: “Don’t think too much. Concentrate on your path of magic. This is the lower layer of the Astral Plane; everything is but fleeting clouds.”
After speaking, Daina felt the world spin. When she opened her eyes again, she was already on the bustling streets of Bernada. She shook her head and stopped thinking about it. Ace didn’t explain, and she didn’t know what was going on with Yamila’s Son of God, so she simply turned and left.
Ace hid in the mid-air of Bernada, looking at the prosperity below, thinking faintly in his heart. The so-called Son of God was actually a Child of Miracle created by Ace through dreams and the King of the World authority. its other name was Child of the World.
Borrowing the King of the World authority, communicating with the Great Source to create a Child of Miracle out of nothing—originally, it should have been created purely by this world. Ace constructed an equally fake Child of Miracle with his dream, injected it into the real Child of Miracle, and created this Son of God.
And Yamila, the Righteous Queen with great destiny, the current Empress, was the Holy Mother personally selected by Ace. This was an important part of the script. Ace was very bold this time, formulating a very detailed act about the Son of God.
Once this was completed, the positive feedback obtained would be huge. But if it failed, the negative feedback would also be unbearable for Ace. Therefore, he chose the most trusted Yamila as the most important link.
Yamila was shrouded in divine light and thus conceived. This was exactly the beginning of the mythological act.
Only by becoming the King of the World of a real world, which was equivalent to the authority of God King Kronas and God Queen Linas in the Kaya World, did Ace truly realize what it meant to manipulate the fate of a world.
The authority of God King could create and destroy. In Ace’s past so-called fate acts, all stages and characters were borrowed, but the God King was different.
God King Privilege: Can mobilize nearly half of the Great Source Power of this world. This does not refer to all Great Source Power, but the surplus Great Source Power excluding that which maintains the operation of the world.
For example, if the total Great Source Power is one hundred, and eighty of it maintains the normal operation of the world, what the God King can mobilize is ten.
If it were God King Kronos of the Kaya World, even together with the God Queen, the two could mobilize at most ten percent of the surplus. It was only because the Great Source of the Holy Light – Blue Blood World was not far from death that Ace got this big advantage to save Its life.
Mobilizing Great Source Power could derive more privileges. Specifically regarding manipulating fate, Ace could freely create stages and characters. Although it required time and had some limitations, he indeed possessed the privilege of creation.
In addition, Ace could also use privileges to guide a certain out-of-line character into a dead end. In short, this power of mobilizing the World Great Source had infinite potential.
Feeling the marvelous abnormality of the God King Privilege, Ace looked somewhat refreshed. He whispered: “Only today do I understand why God King Kronos constantly cycled civilizations. If viewed from the perspective of fate acts, every destruction and rebirth of civilization is the God King and God Queen starting and ending a fate drama.
“Using the inner side of the world as the stage and intelligent race civilizations as characters, weaving such a grand fate drama is indeed fascinating.
“However, if one wants to maximize benefits, the woven fate must be extremely detailed and interlinked to obtain maximum resources; if one wants stability, the woven fate should naturally be as vague as possible, preferably something extremely vague like ‘the demise of a great country’ where both pros and cons are acceptable.
“But thinking this way, I’m afraid the World Tree of the Giant Tree World suddenly extending vines greatly exceeded the fate established by the God King and God Queen. The script this time should have been completely shattered. No wonder Lamor and other Titan Supreme Gods took the opportunity to rebel. This is probably when the God King’s strength is weakest.”
While sighing, the Magic network slowly proliferated and spread under Ace’s manipulation, and the dream mist also dispersed synchronously. Ace felt the constantly jumping Power of Faith and destiny, frowning slightly.
The Empire destiny was relatively pure and belonged to relatively benign resources. The Power of Faith was too motley. If motley Power of Faith was poured into the Star Noble Phantasms, the potential of the Noble Phantasms would probably be limited.
“After all, the Great Source is weak. I have the authority of King of the World in name only, but not many pure resources to mobilize. I must refine the Power of Faith and Empire destiny a second time; otherwise, it is a pollution to the Noble Phantasms.”
He slapped the back of his head, and a crystal-clear colorful Glazed Heart Fire floated out. Ace held the Glazed Heart Fire in his hand and threw it gently. The Heart Fire “hung” on the Magic network.
Ace controlled the Magic network, merging all five condensed powers into the Heart Fire node. The Heart Fire burned ragingly, refining all Faith, Authority , Fate, Great Source, and Mana. Ace’s figure emerged under the Heart Fire, mobilizing the God King Privilege.
“God King Privilege: Return to Origin.”
A funnel appeared under the power refined by the Heart Fire, gathering all power and slowly returning it to the origin, becoming Source Power again. If comparing this process, the refined power condensed from one hundred to seventy, but the quality increased from one to five.
This change was naturally extremely beneficial. Although part of the power was lost, the purest Source Power poured into the Star Noble Phantasms drop by drop, allowing the Noble Phantasms to transform faster.
Because he needed to condense the Noble Phantasms into Epic Noble Phantasms, Ace temporarily couldn’t use his Heart Fire, Star Noble Phantasms, and Gravitational Torsion Balance. The Magic network was also fixed, and “Fantasia” was not here. For a time, Ace was like a big boss stripped of equipment, looking slightly worried.
However, he was not idle. This world provided a huge amount of resources, which could be used to deduce many spells to the Sixth Ring. Even without Noble Phantasms, relying on a hand of Epic Spells, he didn’t fear any Angel King.
Among them, Ace’s foundational spell “True Dream” had been deduced to the Sixth Ring. He possessed the terrifying power to replace and rewrite reality with dreams. However, this power alone was not safe. Ace prepared to deduce the Fourth Ring Spell “Time Stagnation” to the Sixth Ring, realizing true “Time Stop.”
“As long as I possess such an Epic Spell, even if the Angel King can carry Mount Celestia down, I won’t be afraid. This is definitely a powerful spell that can control a Demigod in reverse.”
Ace’s eyes flickered, and his figure gradually disappeared. A spiral space-time door appeared; that was Ace’s mental imagery world, which also “hung” on the Magic network at this moment, hidden from view.
Ace’s figure had entered his own mental imagery world. His body slept in the Lake of Magic, while his consciousness merged with the True Spirit, diving into the deep layer of the mental imagery world. This was a splendid sea of runes, with a towering Rune Pyramid in the middle.
He gradually approached the Rune Pyramid. The cornerstone of this pyramid was the Sixth Ring Spell “True Dream”. Relying on this foundation, the Sixth Ring Spell “Universal Gravitation” and a series of magical mechanics spells and elemental series spells were all within it. Those elemental spell models floated individually, not yet integrated.
Force and Elements were the material cognitive cornerstones constituting dreams.
Above it was the Fifth Ring Spell “Grasp of Dimensions”. Space jump, stable and unstable space creation, etc., all originated from this Legendary Spell. At the very top was the spell Ace wanted to upgrade, the Fourth Ring Spell “Time Stagnation”.
If possible, Ace even hoped to advance “Grasp of Dimensions” together, but the resources consumed would be too much. Even with the computing power provided by the Magic network and people of different levels, this was a very difficult process.
Ace took out “Time Stagnation” and began deduction. Absorbed from the Magic network, refined by Heart Fire, and finally, the pure Source Power returned to origin by the God King Privilege poured into the mental imagery world drop by drop, entering this deep Rune Pyramid.
Those crystal-clear golden runes advanced to Legendary Runes almost instantly. This process was not complicated. Ace’s Noble Phantasm “Fantasia” had accumulated too many resources regarding time acceleration. At this moment, it broke through easily. Ace mastered the Fifth Ring Spell “Time Control”.
This Legendary Spell could manipulate the flow of time within a certain range, accelerating or stagnating it. The specific range and duration depended on the target of the spell. The weaker the target, the larger the range and the stronger the duration, and vice versa.
Ace looked at this crystal-clear spell model with appreciation. Mana poured into it. Mechanical clocks, hourglasses, water clocks, and other timing tools appeared simultaneously. Ticking sounds rang out. Under Ace’s control, time began to accelerate and decelerate freely within a certain range.
“Truly marvelous. Even as a Fifth Ring Spell, this is a spell of immense power. Acceleration and deceleration apply to motion, and this includes everything. Even thinking is accelerated and decelerated. Simply marvelous and abnormal. I can possess both domains and usurp part of the Time Authority.”
He poured all the remaining Power of Great Source in. He himself linked with all Dreamwalkers and believers through the Magic network and dream mist, using their thinking power to deduce the Sixth Ring Spell.
God King Privilege, the world resonating, the Great Source rejoicing. The Angel King of Mount Celestia keenly sensed something bad. He was hostile to the Great Source, making descending to the Human World quite troublesome. At this moment, like an ant on a hot pan, he stared anxiously at the image displayed by the lake on Mount Celestia.
“Damn it. I was clearly about to conquer the surface of this world. Just this little bit left. How could such a guy pop out? Could it be that my hard work will be destroyed in one day?”
He turned back to look at the top of Mount Celestia. Lying there was a “Light Man” dazzling all over. He was so holy that it was intoxicating.
The Angel King looked with disgust and murmured: “Should I release Him? But once released, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control it. Moreover, if He hadn’t discovered the new world, how could He possibly become immortal? Originally he is just a bastard…”
The Angel King’s expression was uncertain. He finally gritted his teeth and flew to the top of Mount Celestia, stopping slowly beside the Light Man. Touching gently with his hand, a burst of dazzling brilliance flashed, and the Light Man opened His eyes.
