I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 790 Commissioning of the Dissertation

Jonas City

Cole walked along the path toward the mage tower, the "Source of All Laws," in the distance.

Several days have passed since he successfully joined the [Source of All Laws].

These days, he has been immersed in the Wisdom Library of the Mage Tower, the Source of All Laws, absorbing the knowledge from those magic books with great eagerness.

Cole cherished the opportunity to join the Source of All Laws immensely; it was like being hit by a pie falling from the sky.

After him, many others successfully passed the test and joined the [Source of All Laws].

As more and more mages joined, more and more information about the [Source of All Laws] began to circulate.

Of course, the Wisdom Library of the Source of All Laws also caused a sensation in the Pan-Continental Law Masters Association.

Before this, no one or school of thought had ever published magical knowledge for free.

Still such a terrifying number!

Many mages who joined the [Source of All Laws] have briefly checked and confirmed that the publicly available magical knowledge in the [Source of All Laws] Wisdom Library almost completely covers all kinds of magical knowledge needed by mages from Bronze to Gold rank.

In other words, once you join the [Source of All Magic], you no longer need to bother collecting the various magical knowledge you need.

For most mages, the spellbooks in the Wisdom Library of the Source of All Magic are more than enough.

Many people have also noticed that this smart library also contains some rare and unique books on the magical realm.

To view these spellbooks, you need a certain amount of arcane points.

Of course, there are other methods, but those require paying a certain price.

Some costs gold coins, some cost contribution points to the Source of All Laws, and some even require completing specific tasks.
These magic books contain a great deal of valuable information.

Some even found the notes of the Second Speaker, Stephens, on spatial magic.

Of course, the price to pay for these magic books is much higher.

It's certainly not something that those mages who have just joined the [Source of All Laws] can achieve.

However, many people don't care about those things.

The magic books in the Library of Wisdom are enough for them to see until the end of their lives.

It is precisely for this reason that the reputation of the Source of All Laws is growing in the Pan-Continental Law Masters Association.

After the news spread, more and more mages rushed over, hoping to pass the test and join the [Source of All Laws].

Even those mages who had joined other schools of thought were the same.

After all, the "Source of All Laws" school did not impose any restrictions, allowing members of other schools to join them.

Similarly, the mages who joined the Source of All Laws also experienced some differences.

Compared to other schools of thought, the "Source of All Laws" has almost no binding force on its members.

They are free to come and go as they please, and there is no requirement to complete the school's tasks.

Everything is entirely voluntary!
Of course, the only special case is that the Arcane Points needed to increase one's personal level can almost only be obtained by publishing "papers".

In fact, some mages have already started paying attention to the magic journals published by the Source of All Magic.

However, compared to the smart library that has caused a sensation and attracted much attention, it seems rather calm.

This is because, apart from a small portion, many mages cannot understand the so-called "papers" published in magical journals.

They recognized all the characters, but when put together, they looked like gibberish to bronze and silver rank mages.

When they looked at these magic journals, they felt as if they had returned to when they had just become magic apprentices.

Therefore, many mages simply flipped through the magical journals provided by the school and put them aside.

What level of skill is required to write this so-called "paper"?

It's certainly not something they can do right now.

Many people even consider these magical journals to be the exclusive works of that Councilor Li Si.

Of course, even so, it couldn't stop the mages in the association from being eager to join the [Source of All Laws].

Some monks who had already joined other schools of thought even participated in the assessment of the Source of All Laws with the mindset of being expelled from their original schools.

Cole, who had already joined the Source of All Laws, did not have such concerns.

He was preparing to head to the Wisdom Library to read the magic book he hadn't finished reading before, "Analysis of Basic Spatial Spells".

The book of magic contained many tips for learning and mastering spatial spells, which greatly inspired him.

He could sense that those methods would allow him to become more attuned to the properties of spatial magic.

In fact, during the process of experimentation and comprehension, he also gained some personal insights.

Beside Cole was his good friend Nelson.

Unlike Cole, Nelson, who also took the test on the first day, did not pass.

He was lost in a painful illusion of being embroiled in a family feud, and eventually fainted.

However, after learning some of Cole's experience, he participated again the next day, and although he was a little reluctant, he still successfully passed the test and became a member of the [Source of All Laws].

Cole was also very happy about his friend's success.

For the next few days, they spent all their time in the Mage Tower Library.

Many others made the same choice as them.

Even as they crossed the vast plain in front of the Mage Tower of the Source of All Laws, they could see many people, just like them before, closing their eyes and slowly walking towards the Mage Tower, undergoing the test.

Seeing them is like seeing myself a few days ago.

Nelson looked around at the people and said with some emotion.

"Indeed, but thankfully we didn't miss this opportunity back then."

"The sooner you join [The Source of All Laws], the sooner you can enjoy that wisdom library."

Hearing his friend's words, Cole nodded in agreement.

For him and Nelson, who came from relatively poor families, such an opportunity was all the more precious.

Of course, most of the mid-to-low-level mages in the entire Pan-Continental Mage Association are in the same situation as the two of them.

Therefore, the appearance of the "Source of All Laws" opened a completely new door for these people.

They naturally felt grateful and respectful towards Representative Lee, who brought all of this to fruition.

It was because of the appearance of the [Source of All Laws] that they felt that a legendary figure was truly concerned about their current predicament.

Within this, the entire association is like a stagnant pool that has remained unchanged for thousands of years; they can only strive hard to have any hope of improvement.

However, many mages are also speculating: now that the status quo maintained by the various schools of thought within the association has been disrupted, how long can the [Source of All Laws] continue?
That is why many monks, even if they fail the test, will participate again after a short rest.

For them, there was no better opportunity than this.

The attention garnered by "The Source of All Laws" within the Pan-Continental Mage Association is becoming increasingly sensational, but low- to mid-level mages don't care about it.

They just hope to seize this opportunity so that they can take another step forward on their path.

Cole and Nelson were such people.

The two wasted no time; after a quick bite to eat on the way, they sat down in the library to prepare for their reading time that day.

If they could, they wouldn't even want to leave the library; they would simply stay there.

However, reading magic books for extended periods of time is very taxing on mages' mental energy.

Therefore, each monk cannot stay in the Wisdom Library for more than one day.

If the time limit is exceeded, the library's intelligent system will issue a reminder, and violating relevant requirements will result in the restriction of entry into the library.

The spellbooks in the library cannot be taken away. Therefore, each mage will rest and recuperate well after leaving before returning to the library.

Just as Cole and Nelson found the magic book they hadn't finished reading and were about to continue reading, a figure appeared in front of them.

"Hello!"

?

Upon hearing this, Cole and Nelson looked up, somewhat puzzled.

Everyone in this smart library makes the most of their time to read, unwilling to waste a single moment.

Therefore, even though there were quite a few monks gathered in the library, very few of them would talk to each other.

After all, no one is allowed to use magic in the library; if you want to test your ideas, you can only go to the training ground outside the library.

They've been staying in the library these past few days, and haven't met anyone else from the [Source of All Laws]?
Who came looking for us?

The two looked up and saw a very familiar person standing in front of them.

"Your Majesty Li Si!"

Cole and Nelson were startled and quickly stood up, bowing respectfully to the person in front of them.

"It's alright, have a seat!"

Li Si smiled and said to the two people in front of him.

Cole and Nelson exchanged a glance and sat down somewhat uneasily.

Why did this legendary lord suddenly appear in front of them?

By the end of the first day, Cole and Nelson had learned that the man who had guided them through the city that day was none other than the legendary His Majesty.

No wonder the other party opened the door to spatial magic for him with just a few simple words.

This is a rare opportunity for both of them.

However, after that, the legendary lord never contacted them again.

It was obvious that it was just a chance encounter in the city.

Even though they were both outstanding students at Jonas Magic Academy with excellent grades, they were nothing in front of this legendary lord.

Of course, after learning Li Si's true identity, the two had some fantasies, but they quickly stopped thinking about it.

Instead of pinning your hopes on those unrealistic things, you should read more magic books.

Unlike before, with the wisdom library of the "Source of All Laws" by our side, the road ahead is much smoother.

As they sat down, Cole noticed a dome around them that emitted a faint white glow.

It seems that it was precisely because of this barrier that the people around did not notice the changes here.

Li Si looked at the somewhat reserved Cole and Nelson in front of him and said with a smile:

"I never expected that the two people I met on my first day in Jonas City would join the Source of All Laws."

"So, what do you think of the [Source of All Laws]?"

"Of course it's great."

"We are all grateful to Your Majesty Li Si for the great help you have given to us and all the monks."

After a moment of silence, Nelson spoke up.

"That's good."

Li Si smiled and nodded, then continued:

"In fact, this kind of help is mutual."

"I have always believed that blockades only lead to backwardness, and that knowledge can only spark wisdom through exchange and communication."

"I hope that after you master this knowledge, you will be able to bring new surprises to me, to the Source of All Laws, and to the realm of magic."

Encouraged by Li Si, Cole and Nelson nodded repeatedly.

After that, Cole didn't know what to do and could only sit awkwardly in his seat.

Even the usually eloquent Nelson was stunned and didn't know what to say.

Before this, they had never come into contact with any distinguished legendary powerhouses.

"Haha, okay, don't be so nervous."

Li Si smiled as he looked at the two young mages before him, and then said:

"Actually, I came here this time to entrust you with something."

"Your Excellency Li Si, please give your orders!"

Cole and Nelson exchanged a glance and said seriously:
"Although we are of average strength, we will do our best to do whatever you ask!"

"It's okay, I think you two can definitely do it."

Li Si nodded, several magic journals appeared in his hand, and he waved them at the two of them, saying:

"You've already read these magic journals, haven't you?"

"Yes."

Cole nodded, then said somewhat embarrassedly:

"However, I can only understand a small part of it."

"Haha, of course."

Li Si shook his head and said with a smile:

"If you can understand it all, then you're very close to becoming a legend."

"In fact, the papers recorded in these magical journals cover topics ranging from the Bronze rank all the way up to the Legendary rank."

"Of course, I can't be the only one providing the papers for these magical journals I've prepared."

"High-level magical knowledge is fine, but these magical journals also need to cover low-level content."

"Wisdom shines brightly through exchange and interaction!"

"And these magical journals are where the wisdom of the mages of the [Source of All Magic] collides!"

"If I were to write all the papers myself, it wouldn't align with my original intention."

"Therefore, I need some people to write papers and publish them in the magic journal."

Hearing Li Si's words, Cole and Nelson were both caught off guard.

"You mean you want us to write the paper?"

"This may be difficult for us to meet your requirements."

"Don't worry about it. Someone always has to take the first step, and I think you two are pretty good."

"As long as there is innovation, we can meet the requirements of these magical journals. The rest is just a matter of modifying the rules."

"Besides, I can sense that you, Cole, have made some breakthroughs in spatial magic, right?"

Li Si said with a smile:

"If you are the first person to pass the [Source of All Laws] test, and also the first person to publish a paper in a magic journal, I will take you as my student, how about it?"

"?!!"

"I am willing!"

　The final revisions are still underway.
