I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 784 The assessment begins!
Jonas City, [Source of All Laws] Mage Tower

Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, a sudden change occurred.

Threads of dazzling magical light seeped out from the tower, like an elf that had been imprisoned for a long time and was eager to break free of its restraints.

Then, these lights grew even stronger, converging together to transform into a seven-colored magical radiance, like a dazzling firework bursting forth in an instant.

The radiance spread rapidly, enveloping the entire mage tower, and then transformed into a thick and dazzling pillar of light that shot straight into the sky, illuminating the entire city.

The entire city of Jonas was stunned by this sudden sight.

Whether it was busy merchants, children playing, or monks hurrying along, everyone was drawn to this magnificent sight, their eyes filled with awe.

Even from a great distance, they could feel the terrifying power contained within that pillar of light.

The mages gathered in front of the mage tower were caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.

The powerful magical energy emanating from the seven-colored magical radiance swept towards them like a surging tide, making them dizzy and disoriented.

The feeling was as if I were in a constantly spinning vortex, with everything around me becoming blurry and indistinguishable.

Under the powerful impact of this magic, some of the young mages began to sway uncontrollably, staggered, and eventually fell to the ground.

Their faces showed terror as they struggled to stand up, only to be knocked down again and again by the dizziness.

Those mages with greater strength, though barely managing to hold their ground thanks to their rich experience and profound magical cultivation, also wore solemn expressions.

They could feel just how terrifying the power emanating from the mage tower in front of them was!
He couldn't help but feel even more awe for the leader of the Source of All Laws, the Ruler of All Things, Li Si Kane.

Cole and Nelson were alright; they weren't knocked to the ground by the sudden impact.

When this somewhat strange feeling finally subsided, the mages shook their heads, trying to clear their minds.

At that moment, everyone noticed the strange change in the surrounding space.

The small open space in front of the mage tower, which was originally not large, now seemed to have been stretched out by an invisible hand, becoming incredibly vast.

The feeling was as if a vast, boundless plain had suddenly appeared around the mage tower.

All the mages gazed into the distance, and on the far horizon, they could still vaguely see the silhouette of the magical city.

The familiar architectural outlines appeared somewhat blurry and distant under this strange spatial distortion, as if they were a scene from another world.

The monks looked at each other, filled with doubt and unease, wondering what this sudden change meant.

Meanwhile, the legendary councilors in the association who were focused on the "Source of All Laws" were secretly alarmed.

With their abilities and insight, they could naturally see the reason for this situation.

Someone used extremely powerful spatial forces to forcibly expand the space around the mage tower.

Of course, this does not mean that an additional plain has actually appeared around the mage tower.

Being in this space, you can feel that this space has been "stretched".

From the outside, the area where this space originally was located has not changed at all, except that the scenery within it has become somewhat blurry.

Of course, many politicians can do this.

But what is most surprising is that they can feel the stability of the "stretched" space around the mage tower.

This special space has been stabilized under the influence of specific magic.

As long as it is not subjected to attacks that exceed the limit, the source of magic will not be cut off, and this special space will not disappear and will continue to be maintained.

Most legendary councilors' control over space only allows them to temporarily expand it; maintaining this state would be significantly more difficult.

At least, very few people in the Pan-Continental Mage Association could do such a thing.

The current situation is clearly the result of what Li Si, the leader of the [Source of All Laws], accomplished.

This kind of thing seems quite normal.

As a disciple of the Second Speaker Stephens, it's quite normal for Li Si to be skilled in spatial magic.

However, this also made them even more alarmed by Li Si's strength and methods.

He hasn't been a Legendary for long, but his strength has already increased to this level?

Many members of parliament became even more curious and interested in Li Si and the "Source of All Laws".

The mages around the mage tower, being the source of all magic, naturally lacked the eyesight to see what had happened.

However, it is clear that they also know that this phenomenon, which is comparable to a miracle, must be due to the [Source of All Laws].

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in mid-air in front of the mage tower.

Everyone turned their attention to him and saw a young man dressed in a magnificent black and gold mage robe, exuding an extremely powerful aura, yet with an exceptionally handsome appearance.

The one who appeared there was naturally Li Si.

Li Si looked at the crowd below and said:
"I am Li Si Kane, welcome to the Source of All Laws!"

"I didn't announce the establishment of the [Source of All Laws] beforehand, and since you're all gathered here, you must all know that the [Source of All Laws] is about to officially recruit new members!"

"Some of you may know the purpose and purpose of my establishment of the Source of All Laws, while others may not, but that doesn't matter."

But I hereby declare!

"【The Source of All Laws】Welcomes anyone to join. Here there is no fighting or chaos. We are all travelers who are forever pursuing wisdom."

"【The Source of All Laws】Welcomes everyone!"

"Whether you are a Bronze-rank mage, a Silver-rank mage, a Gold-rank mage, or even a Legendary mage, you can join the [Source of All Laws]!"

"Regardless of your identity, as long as you yearn for magic and pursue wisdom, you can join the [Source of All Laws]!"

Liston paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Even if you belong to another school of thought, there are no restrictions."

As Li Si finished speaking, the mages gathered around him, even those who feared him, couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Are mages from other schools of thought allowed to join?
This has never happened before in the Pan-Continental Mage Association!
Doesn't this "Master of All Things" worry that someone might leak the secret of the "Source of All Laws" to others?
Meanwhile, even the legendary senator who was watching the scene couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

This Representative Lee is really bold!
Does he really intend to fulfill the promises he made in the voting council?
Many people were amazed, while others were quite annoyed.

Perhaps in their view, whatever Li Si wanted to do, it was very likely to shake the foundation of their school of thought.

Even members of parliament would find it hard to resist the allure of owning their own floating city in the [Source of All Laws]!
Before Li Si chose to do this, he had naturally considered all sorts of possibilities.

His choice to allow the "Source of All Laws" to transcend the limitations between schools of thought naturally had its purpose.

If his only goal is to establish a top-tier school of thought, then limiting the number of people who can join the school will bring him the greatest benefit.

However, Li Si's focus now lies on the entire Pan-Continental Mage Association. For the Pan-Continental Mage Association at present, the struggles and rivalries between different schools of thought are the most important reason for the association's internal divisions.

For Li Si, breaking through the barriers of identity between different schools of thought was the most important thing.

In this respect, Li Si actually had many options.

Many of these opportunities might actually allow Li Si to complete the tasks entrusted to him by the Third Speaker, Talindra, more quickly.

However, after considering it, Li Si abandoned all of them.

Using those methods would be tantamount to pulling up seedlings to help them grow.

Perhaps in the short term, this will allow Li Si to gain control of the Pan-Continental Mage Association more quickly.

However, with Li Si's wisdom, he could naturally see the drawbacks of doing so.

Using that method will ultimately cause the "Source of All Laws" to violate its founding principles and original intentions.

The more other methods we use, the further we get from true wisdom!
Li Si didn't know how long the "Source of All Laws" he had established could be passed down, but as someone who controlled the realm and rules of "wisdom," he naturally hoped that more people could embark on this path.

Although Li Si understood very well that the means were just different choices on the path forward.

However, for those who have not yet truly understood themselves, different paths can have a significant impact on them.

Li Si did not want many people to lose themselves at the very beginning of the establishment of the "Source of All Laws".

In other words, Li Si wanted to establish a school of thought that pursued wisdom when he founded the "Source of All Laws".

Of course, Li Si did not intend to announce these considerations to the mages in front of him here.

"Anyone who wants to join the [Source of All Laws] can give it a try."

"I hereby promise that the Source of All Laws will not refuse anyone's joining. Anyone can join the Source of All Laws as long as they pass the test!"

"As for other matters, you will understand once you enter this mage tower!"

After Li Si finished speaking, without waiting for any questions from others, his figure disappeared directly from in front of the mage tower.

At that moment, all the mages who had gathered in front of the mage tower felt that same feeling again.

After they recovered, they found themselves at the edge of this space.

Behind him lay the familiar city of Jonas, while in the center of the distant space stood the mage tower radiating a rich magical glow.

"So, the test should involve going inside that tower?"

Cole looked at the situation in front of him and whispered to Nelson.

"That must be it!"

Nelson nodded.

"But I always felt it couldn't be that simple!"

At this moment, they noticed that many of the mages around them had already headed towards the mage tower.

"In the end, doesn't it all come down to passing the test?"

"They said they wouldn't refuse us joining, but in the end, it's just like other schools of thought, where only a small number of people are qualified to join."

"That's it!"

Cole frowned slightly as he heard the murmurs of the mages around him.

For some reason, he didn't think that His Majesty Li Si, who established the "Source of All Laws," was just making empty promises.

However, he did not stand up to refute those people's ideas.

Moreover, for some reason, although he couldn't see the appearance of the councilor Li Si clearly from a distance, he felt a sense of familiarity with him.

What's happening here?
Cole looked a little confused, but after glancing at Nelson beside him, he didn't say anything more.

Anyway, I'll join [The Source of All Laws] first!
At that moment, many people unexpectedly said:

"I can't cast spells anymore!"

"Me too!"

Is this a limitation of the assessment?

Upon hearing this, Cole and Nelson also tried to mobilize the magic within their bodies.

However, they felt that the magic that was originally active in their bodies was now like stagnant water, and no matter how they tried, there was no response.

Is this the legendary mage's method?
It's really scary!
The two exchanged a glance, and without hesitation, stepped forward.

Now that things have come to this, we can't just give up halfway, can we?
Anyway, let's give it a try!
As Cole and Nelson advanced, more and more mages abandoned casting spells and charged directly into the vast plains ahead.

As everyone entered, a thicker fog began to quietly spread out.

The fog, as if it were alive, surged in from all directions and quickly engulfed the entire plain.

At first, the monks could still vaguely see each other's figures, calling out to each other and trying to move forward together.

But gradually the fog became thicker and thicker, like an invisible wall that severed the connection between people.

One by one, the people around him disappeared into the fog, and the shouts gradually faded until they vanished completely into silence.

In the end, it seemed as if they were the only ones left in the world, and loneliness and confusion surged into their hearts like a tide.

All around was a vast expanse of white, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face; every step was filled with the unknown and fear.

But amidst this endless confusion, they discovered a glimmer of light deep within the fog ahead, like a campfire. Though faint, the light appeared exceptionally warm and resolute in the thick fog.

It was like starlight in the darkness, or hope in despair, guiding them in the right direction.

Is that the mage tower of the "Source of All Laws"?

What's happening here?
At that moment, Cole was also enveloped in fog.

At first, he was a little flustered, but he gradually calmed down and became more alert, paying close attention to his surroundings.

The monster that was expected to attack from the fog did not appear, but the unease of being in the thick fog grew stronger.

Cole continued toward his goal.

But gradually, his thinking began to slow down, and his thought process became slower and slower.

It's as if the brain is shackled, leaving only the body's instincts to keep moving forward.

As his thoughts slowed, different strange sights gradually began to appear before him.
