I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 773 Astral Power? Chaotic Power!
Jonas City

As Li Si felt the complex magical knowledge surging into his mind, his brows furrowed slightly.

He was gradually clearing his mind and slowly comprehending this newly acquired astral knowledge.

After gaining some understanding of astral magic, Li Si raised an eyebrow in surprise.

He had just learned the seventh-ring astral magic, Astral Guidance, but Li Si had also learned some of the basic knowledge about astral magic.

Astral magic is indeed quite unique compared to other types of magic.

For example, the seventh-ring astral spell [Astral Guidance], Li Si originally thought that the astral spells he learned were given randomly.

That's why the first astral spell is a seventh-tier spell.

However, the fact is that the seventh-ring astral spell, Astral Guidance, is already the lowest-ranking spell in the astral spell system.

It's important to know that spatial magic is extremely difficult to master among all types of spells, yet its effects are also quite powerful. The lowest-ranking spatial spell is only the third-circle spell [Teleportation].

The difficulty of learning astral magic has soared to the seventh level.

It's equivalent to the astral magic system, starting with high-level spells.

This is something that only a Gold-rank mage can attempt to master.

Moreover, from the astral magic knowledge that Li Si had just acquired, he discovered that astral magic was far more complex than ordinary high-level magic.

What's most unusual, and what surprised Li Si the most, is that astral magic seems to be completely different from the existing magic system.

This really surprised Li Si.

Even spatial magic and dream magic are based on the principle of controlling magic power to communicate and guide various magical elements to form a spell model, thereby achieving the extraordinary power to change reality.

However, astral spells are different from other spells. Although they also require magic to be channeled, the target of the channeling is not magical elements, but a special power known as astral power.

According to the Third Chancellor Tarindra's records, the so-called Astral Power is not actually an extremely rare existence.

Of course, it does not exist in the Gaia world.

Astral power is a special force that exists throughout the astral plane.

This power is ubiquitous in the astral plane, and it is the source of the astral plane's unique and mysterious environment.

The astral magic that Tarindra possesses is not the same as the astral magic inherited from the ancient magical empire. Instead, it is a completely new system that Tarindra created on her own based on the original astral magic.

According to Tarindra's records, when she first entered the Astral Plane after breaking through to Legendary status, she felt an extremely peculiar power surrounding her body.

The feeling was like swimming in the ocean.

The strange force surrounding her was constantly influencing her and her environment.

In order to capture that spark of inspiration, Tarindra traveled alone through the celestial realm for a long time.

Time passed indefinitely, and during her astral journey, Tarindra suddenly gained access to a completely new power.

This is the power of the astral plane!
The reason for this name is that Tarindra consulted many magical texts, but even in the records passed down from the Netheril Magic Empire, there was no description similar to the power of the stars.

Therefore, Tarindra named this strange power after the power of the stars.

Astral power is indeed not the same as the magic and magical elements that mages control and use.

Tarindra spent a considerable amount of time researching astral power, but she still didn't fully understand it.

However, Tarindra did not come away empty-handed.

Through the special power of the astral plane, she created a completely new system of astral magic and continues to update and improve it.

She also gained a deeper understanding of the power of the stars.

The so-called power of the astral plane should be the most basic and fundamental power in the entire astral plane.

Or rather, it is because of the existence of the power of the astral plane that the astral plane came into being, as well as the Gaia main world and its numerous subordinate celestial bodies born from the astral plane.

Tarindra once witnessed the core of a small world slowly developing within a highly concentrated mass of astral power.

Moreover, she also observed that the Gaia main world, the Endless Abyss, and many smaller worlds were constantly devouring the power of the astral plane.

Perhaps this astral power is the source of all things?

Tarindra patiently observed everything related to the power of the astral plane, but unfortunately, she found it difficult to glimpse any deeper mysteries of the astral plane.

This has always been a regret for Tarindra.

However, even today, Tarindra has not given up on related research.

For Li Si, this opened up a completely new door.

Before this, he had entered the astral plane, but apart from the environment which was completely different from the world, he did not feel anything special.

As for the so-called power of the stars, he had no idea about it.

Of course, Li Si would never doubt that Talindra was faking it.

After all, the astral magic wielded by this Third Speaker is real.

If we follow the accounts recorded in these texts, it seems to explain the peculiar feeling Li Si had when he met the Third Speaker.

That strange feeling was as if the other person was right in front of you, yet there was a sense of ethereal distance, as if they were far away in another world.

Li Si previously thought this was due to the difference in strength, but now it seems that it may also be related to the special nature of this astral power.

That strange feeling was somewhat similar to the feeling Li Si had when he wandered through the star realm.

Therefore, Li Si became even more interested in the so-called astral magic.

For some reason, he had a vague premonition that the so-called astral magic and astral power were extremely important to him.

Li Si shook his head and continued to immerse himself fully in the knowledge of astral magic.

He could sense that the Third Speaker, Tarindra, had not withheld any knowledge from him when teaching him this.

In addition to the extraordinary knowledge related to astral magic, it also contains much of Tarindra's own understanding and reflection, as well as her feelings when creating these astral spells.

This was quite important to Li Si.

Li Si also understood why the basic requirements for astral magic were so high.

After Tarindra created astral magic, she did pass it on to others.

Unfortunately, even the most brilliant geniuses in the Pan-Continental Mage Association have failed to master the power of the astral plane, let alone real astral magic.

To this end, Tarindra created the seventh-circle astral spell, Astral Guidance, which she theorized would make high-ranking mages more compatible with astral power.

This is to increase the likelihood of sensing the power of the astral plane.

Unfortunately, even though Tarindra specifically sought out some legendary mages to try, there were no results.

Although since then, a legendary mage developed the Star Magic under Tarindra's guidance.

However, while the so-called astral magic is incredibly powerful, it has returned to the normal magic system and has no connection to astral power. According to Tarindra's description, after mastering [Astral Guidance], one can achieve the most basic control over astral power.

Once the power of the astral plane is controlled, the influence of the astral environment on the user will be minimized.

At the same time, users can also control astral power to achieve effects that some low-level spells can achieve.

This is why there are no spells below the seventh ring in the astral magic system created by Tarindra.

In her view, there was no need to create even the lowest-level spells; they could be simulated using astral power.

However, compared to the normal magic system, while it is possible to use channeling spells to simulate the effects of other spells, the difficulty increases significantly.

Compared to the normal spell system, using astral power to simulate spells is like using astral power to simulate the properties and characteristics of various magical elements, and then using this to achieve the spell effect.

Compared to the normal spellcasting process, there is an invisible change in properties.

Moreover, this kind of property transformation operation is extremely difficult.

However, this also proves Tarindra's speculation.

Astral power is very likely the source of all power, including world power, magic, battle aura, and other extraordinary powers.

Li Si was quite surprised after learning about Talindra's speculation.

He hadn't expected the power of the astral plane to be so special.

No wonder Tarindra was able to become the third councilor of the Pancontinental Mage Association by virtue of her astral magic!

Indeed, no speaker is a simple being.

Li Si was extremely envious of this so-called Astral Power and immediately devoted himself to it, frantically absorbing knowledge about Astral Power.

A few days later,

Li Si focused all his energy on astral magic.

He didn't take the commotion he had caused at the Pan-Continental Mage Association seriously at all.

Compared to the almost omnipotent power of the astral plane, the school of thought is of no importance.

Oh, no!

It's actually quite important.

If he fails to complete the task assigned to him by the Third Chancellor, Tarindra, he will not be able to acquire more knowledge of astral magic.

This is very important to Li Si!
However, I think there shouldn't be any problems.

Without the floating city, he would have to worry about these things; with the floating city, he would still have to worry about these places.
Didn't we come to the floating city for nothing?

Therefore, Li Si only asked Lisa to help him acquire a suitable location in Jonas City in the next two days to prepare for establishing the [Source of All Laws] base; everything else could wait.

After explaining some things, Li Si left Jonas City and came to the Star Realm.

Looking at the fantastical state of the surrounding star realm, Li Si focused his attention and sensed the surrounding environment.

After a moment, Li Si reluctantly opened his eyes.

As before, aside from the distorted perception he experienced, Li Si didn't sense anything unusual.

It seems he really is different from Tarindra; he truly doesn't possess that innate talent for sensing the power of the astral plane.

Without dwelling on it any longer, Li Si tried using the [Astral Guidance Technique].

A magical model, seemingly composed of illusory stars, gradually took shape within Li Si's body, and the surrounding astral plane appeared to begin to distort under the influence of the guiding spell.

Gradually, Li Si seemed to feel a strange power emerging around his body.

This feeling was like a void power that had no attributes whatsoever, yet it allowed Li Si's spirit to settle down.

Is this the power of the astral plane?
As Li Si slowly came to appreciate the unique power of the astral plane, his brows furrowed slightly.

This feeling, for no apparent reason, made Li Si feel somewhat familiar.

Where does this inexplicable sense of familiarity come from?

Li Si pondered for a long time, then suddenly opened his eyes.

He remembered!
This feels similar to the chaotic faith power he has mastered!
He mastered the power of chaotic faith through the priest's basic class feat, "Chaotic Faith Convergence."

Li Si had also studied the so-called power of chaotic faith.

Because the power of Chaos Faith is quite special, Li Si can use various types of divine arts with it.

Generally, priests who want to use divine magic need to use different types of faith power as a guide.

For example, a priest of the Church of Dawn can obtain the seed of Dawn magic after believing in the God of Dawn, and use divine magic with attributes such as light and holiness.

At the same time, priests of the Church of Dawn are unable to use divine spells with evil or chaotic attributes.

Similarly, followers of evil gods are also unable to use divine spells with attributes of order and justice.

This is something that is almost impossible to change.

But for Li Si, this kind of trouble didn't exist.

Because the power of Chaos Faith can be transformed into divine spell seeds of any attribute, it allows the use of various types of divine spells.

Li Si had also studied this, but his understanding of divine arts was still insufficient.

After figuring out the special nature of the power of Chaos Faith, Li Si temporarily put the matter out of his mind.

Looking back now, it seems that the manifestations of this chaotic faith power and the astral power are indeed somewhat similar.

Like the power of Chaos Faith, the power of the Astral Plane can also be transformed into various different magical elemental characteristics.

Moreover, according to Tarindra's speculation, the power of Chaos Faith can also simulate other extraordinary powers.

However, so far only Tarindra has mastered the power of the astral plane, and this Third Chancellor has not mastered the power of other extraordinary professions.

Therefore, Tarindra had no way to continue trying.

Perhaps there really is some strange connection between them?

Li Si made a guess in his mind, and then slowly felt the astral power around his body through the [Astral Guidance Technique], and slowly guided it into his body.

Hey~
[You have used the seventh-circle spell, Astral Guidance!]
[Spell successfully cast!]
Hey~
[New power detected]
[You are undergoing a special judgment!]
[Under investigation.]
[???]
[Judgment complete!]
[You have mastered a special power: the power of chaos!]
The power of chaos?

Li Si was slightly taken aback, then raised his hand.

The surrounding astral energy began to converge towards his palm, transforming into a dark, illusory mass of energy.

Could it be that the so-called power of the stars is actually called the power of chaos?
Li Si guessed, but could not hide his excitement.

It feels like I've won the lottery!
