[You have triggered the Legendary tier questline, "The Mage's Reshaping Order"!]

[whether?]
[You have accepted the legendary questline, "The Mage's Reshaping Order"!]
[Quest Introduction: The glory of mages began with the birth of many magical empires, and also declined with them.]

Now, facing the decline of the Pan-Continental Mage Association, once a sacred place for mages, can you once again lead all mages, restore order among spellcasters, and recreate the glory of mages?
[Legendary Quest Series (First Stage): The Birth and Rise of a New School]
[Quest Introduction: To lead the mages to restore their past glory, you first need to gain their support!]
[Task Requirements: Your newly established school of thought needs the heartfelt support of more than half of the members of the Pan-Continental Mage Association]
[Quest Reward: 10 billion experience points, the feat "Commander's Majesty", unlock the next stage of the quest]
[Currently Bound School: The Source of All Laws]
[Current school of thought's support rate: 1%]
Oh open?

Li Si looked at the prompt on the system panel with some surprise.

He never imagined that establishing a school of thought would trigger such a legendary quest.

In fact, he established the Source of All Laws because of the commission from the Third Speaker, Tarindra.

After receiving the commission, Li Si was given a similar task.

However, the task is very simple: complete Tarindra's requests, and the reward is Tarindra's support and astral magic.

But now, after the true birth of the [Source of All Laws], a brand new task has appeared before Li Si.

And it's a legendary series of quests!
Li Si had triggered similar quest series before, but in terms of rewards, none of them were as good as this "Reshaping Order of Mages" quest.

Moreover, what about reshaping the order of monks and restoring their glory?
Could it be that the final outcome of this series of missions is for Li Si to rebuild the magical empires that once existed?

Even his teacher Stephens couldn't do this kind of task, right?
Moreover, the current Gaia world no longer has the conditions for a magical empire to emerge.

Nowadays, neither race nor the Church of Gods would allow a superpower as strong as the Magic Empire to exist.

Of course, this does not mean that the former magic empire was as powerful as it once was.

In reality, the Pan-Continental Mage Association is no weaker than the Netheril Magic Empire in terms of overall strength.

However, in the Gaia world of the past, the mage forces, represented by the Netheril Magic Empire, had a much greater advantage than other forces.

Even the elves, who were the most skilled at spellcasting at the time, were no match for the Nesseril Magic Empire in this field.

Of course, this is assuming we don't count the gods.

That situation resulted in the Netheril Magic Empire being surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Even if the "Magic Network Collapse" occurred at that time, the Netheril Magic Empire should not have collapsed so suddenly under normal circumstances.

It was because after the "Great Collapse of the Magic Network" that many forces, led by the Church of the Gods, took the initiative to attack the Netheril Magic Empire.

This made it impossible for the heavily damaged Netheril Magic Empire to resist, resulting in a complete collapse, with little of its main heritage remaining.

The Pancontinental Mage Association, established on the ruins of the Netheril Magic Empire, is powerful yet remains low-key, rarely intervening in external affairs, which may well be due to this consideration.

These are some of the things that Li Si thought about after receiving the commission from the Third Speaker, Tarindra.

But now, such a task has fallen into his lap, which is truly unexpected.

No matter how good his relationship with the Church of the Gods is, they will not tolerate the emergence of a brand new magical empire.

This is not only the consensus of the Church of the Gods, but also of other forces in the Gaia world.

In fact, more than one of the legendary figures of the Church of the Gods, during conversations with Li Si, hinted that Li Si should abandon the path of studying arcane arts and instead focus his energy on comprehending the rules of the world and embarking on the path to godhood.

Although Li Si, as a chosen one of the World Tree, is not guaranteed to achieve great divine power, the examples of the three chosen ones of the World Tree in the past have given many people room for imagination.

In their view, what kind of arcane arts are they studying?
How many legendary arcane sorcerers could have easily achieved godhood, yet they never took that step until the end of their lives, ultimately turning into ashes of time.

Li Si has the potential to achieve great divine power, and once successful, he will undoubtedly provide tremendous assistance to his own camp.

Under these circumstances, the members of the Church of the Gods were naturally unwilling to watch Li Si fight to the death with arcane magic.

Faced with those people's hints, Li Si simply smiled and pretended not to understand.

He couldn't very well tell those people that he was preparing a divine ascension technique, using it as a means to ascend to the throne of God, could he?
In fact, after Li Si obtained the Astral Magic and mastered the power of chaos, the previously distant path to godhood had a completely new breakthrough.

Li Si believed that this breakthrough had a very high probability of success.

[Sphinx Ascension], Feats [Chaos Faith Convergence], [Chaos Power], [World Rule: Wisdom].
Li Si has already mastered many of these powers. For him now, it's about finding a direction and slowly integrating these powers together.

Then he transformed it into a blazing source of power, helping him ascend to the divine throne high in the heavens.

At this point, Li Si naturally wouldn't be persuaded or guided by the others.

Moreover, what he is doing now is indeed what he desires in his heart.

For some reason, while establishing the "Source of All Laws" and guiding others to follow him in the pursuit of wisdom, Li Si seemed to have gained a higher level of understanding of the world's rules, "wisdom."

This feeling was as if he were about to transform into the embodiment of wisdom, truly understanding the infinite and vast meaning that "wisdom" represents.

This feeling suggests that being omniscient and omnipotent does not necessarily equate to wisdom.

The pursuit of more knowledge and higher goals seems to be the true meaning of "wisdom"?

Therefore, at least in Li Si's view, establishing the "Source of All Laws" was a lucky accident, a way to help him grasp the rules of "wisdom" more quickly.

In this situation, nothing else matters.

This legendary questline, "The Reshaper of Mage Order," is something I can do while I'm at it.
Li Si looked at the plain before him, lost in thought.

In addition, he also obtained Cole's attribute panel during his contact with Cole.

Comment: What catches your attention is no longer an ant!
Li Si looked at Cole's attribute panel, his gaze lingering on his talent.

A good scholar?
What kind of talent is this?
I've never heard of it before.

Li Si opened the detailed information for the talent "Good Scholar".
-
[Gold Tier Talent [Avid Learner]: Intelligence attribute gains double the numerical modifier, spell learning speed +100%, and increases elemental affinity of spells being learned to a certain extent]
This talent is interesting!
Li Si looked at this talented [Good Scholar] with some curiosity.

Strictly speaking, this talent can be considered one of the most suitable talents for mages.

This talent will allow Cole to learn various spells more quickly.

At the same time, learning various spells can also increase elemental affinity.

For example, when Cole learns fire elemental spells, he can increase his fire elemental affinity.

In actual combat, this does not significantly improve one's strength.

However, it is far more important for learning spells and conducting magical research.

This also allowed Cole to maintain a certain degree of affinity while learning various spells.

Therefore, for Cole, there is almost nothing that can stop his magical domain.

Although this increase in affinity is not permanent and will change as Cole's research and learning direction changes, it is considered one of the top talents among the Gold-tier talents.

In addition, Li Si also saw Cole's elemental affinity talent.

Aside from extremely rare areas like shadows, Cole has a fairly good affinity for elements such as earth, water, fire, wind, and space.

Interesting!

This talent seems to have some similarities to Li Si's talent, "All-rounder".

Of course, they are not actually comparable. However, this made Li Si even more interested in this Cole.

At this moment, Cole's figure had already disappeared into the mage tower.

Behind him, more and more figures successfully passed Li Si's test and left the plain.

As Cole's boots tapped lightly on the steps leading into the mage tower, the tower's doors slowly opened before him.

The moment the door opened, it was as if countless stardust burst forth from within, weaving a flowing star-veiled robe around him.

Extremely dense magic surged in from all directions, enveloping Cole's body.

This feeling of fullness was different from the frenzied magic of the riots he had experienced before; it was more like the comfort of being enveloped by the warm lake water when he was a child swimming in his hometown.

The sight before him made Cole, who had visited many mage towers, hold his breath.

On the first floor of the mage tower, twelve obsidian pillars support the dome, each with flowing star trails engraved on its surface. When his gaze follows a certain trajectory, those silver engravings actually begin to slowly rotate.

The amethyst chandelier hanging from the dome is as thick as three people could hug. Each crystal cluster contains a leaping flame spirit, which is now flickering in some invisible rhythm.

"Is this the source of all laws?"

The monk softly praised, his fingertips tracing the left wall.

The touch is not of cold stone, but rather a warm texture.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that countless tiny magical patterns were hidden within the interwoven vine patterns on the wall.

The runes outlined with special magical crystal powder are now flickering and changing with the magical tides.

With his current strength, he couldn't discern what the magic runes represented.

Just as he leaned closer to examine the magic runes that had appeared, he suddenly heard a strange sound.

"Meow~"

Cole looked in the direction of the sound and met a pair of amber vertical pupils.

On a huge walnut wood table in the center of the room, a completely black cat sat upright.

Its tail tip gleamed with a silvery sheen, and it was now elegantly curled into a question mark shape, its front paws crossed in front of it, and it tilted its head slightly as it looked at him.

The strangest thing about it is its eyes. Its left eye is a molten gold-red, while its right eye is a deep sea blue. When it blinks, the two pupils rotate slowly like a vortex.

"A black cat."

"Cole muttered to himself."

He then looked around at his surroundings.

Is there only one cat on the first floor of the Mage Tower in [The Source of All Laws]?
Is there nothing else?
Cole naturally did not believe that joining the Source of All Laws meant that Senator Li Si would lead him.

But at least someone should introduce him to him, right?

What should I do now?
Just as Cole was feeling a bit confused, the black cat looked at him and said:
What are you standing there for?

"Come here quickly, let Lord Black Cat handle the formalities for you?"

"Ok?"

Cole was slightly startled, then looked at the black cat.

However, he quickly understood what was going on when he saw the anthropomorphic light in the black cat's eyes.

A magical intelligent life form like the Association?

That's right, Lord Li Si also controls a floating city.

It's quite normal for him to have magical intelligent beings providing him with services.

However, the two magical intelligent beings in the association were both quite upright and rarely smiled.

It never manifests itself in front of others and is not much different from ordinary magical intelligence, except that its abilities are much stronger.

However, the magical intelligent life form, the black cat, was quite different in comparison.

"Oh, okay, Lord Black Cat."

Cole quickly went to the black cat and said with a smile.

There was nothing he could do; he simply couldn't afford to offend the magical intelligent life form that helped the legendary councilor control most of the school's affairs.

"Well, that's pretty much it!"

Black Cat Xiao Hei wagged its tail and happily began entering information into Cole's computer.

"Give!"

A moment later, the black cat flicked its tail and tossed a black medal with silver patterns to Cole.

"So fast?"

Cole instinctively took it and looked at the black cat.

"Of course, don't you even know who Lord Black Cat is?"

"I finished adjusting it as soon as your information came in."

The black cat stroked its little head and said smugly.

It was quite willing to help Li Si with his work; it had already had enough sleep in the Dream Temple.

"Here, these are some more."

The black cat pointed its tail to the right, and a floating tray slowly drifted over.
