I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 800 Borkan's Resolve
【The Tower of Ashes】
Seeing Borkan's感慨 (sentiments/reflections), other legends of the school also thought the same.

Most of the legendary politicians were quite surprised when they heard the news.

They knew Li Si's true purpose in establishing the "Source of All Laws," but even so, they did not expect Li Si to go to this extent.

Many of them were still waiting to trade with Li Si for the right to use the magical facilities in Kane's Floating City.

Unexpectedly, Li Si was willing to give up such a huge benefit and give it directly to the members of the [Source of All Laws].

Many people don't understand why Li Si did this.
Could it be that Li Si is truly different from them, willing to give up his own interests for the future of the Pan-Continental Mage Association?
The legendary councilors present, let alone giving up, could argue for ages over the resources allocated to their respective schools of thought.

In comparison, regardless of Li Si's true thoughts, his current actions alone are enough to earn the admiration of others.

"All right."

Borkan's voice broke the brief silence in the room.

"Whether this is true or not, we certainly can't give up this opportunity."

"I estimate that for some time to come, Li Si's disciple will be eligible to use the magic workshop."

"No matter what Li Si wants to do, we don't need to give up this opportunity."

"Moreover, Li Si's decision to have his disciples contact us through members of our school should have been with his tacit approval."

Everyone who was checking up on the situation looked at Borkan, waiting for his decision.

"I believe that the school of thought should negotiate the right to use it with him."

"As for who gets the spots, it will be done according to the order within the previous school of thought."

"Any objection?"

"No."

The legendary mages present all shook their heads.

Although they were eager to make a deal with Cole privately, the school leader had made a decision, and no one was willing to openly question Bolkan, the school leader.

Moreover, the fact that this opportunity was presented to the Tower of Ashes might be due to the "friendship" between Borkan and Li Si.

"What price will be paid?"

"A man next to Borkan asked."

"Don't be stingy, just follow the best standard given."

Borkan waved his hand dismissively and said:

"This kind of opportunity is incomparable to ordinary resources."

"We, the Tower of Ashes, are not elementary schools; there's no need to be so stingy."

"it is good."

The other legendary lawmakers had no objections.

They would much rather make a deal with Cole and there's absolutely no need to create unnecessary trouble.

"All right."

Borkan's tone turned serious as he looked around at the legendary mages before him and said:

"Now you can all see Li Si's attitude in establishing the 'Source of All Laws' school."

"So now, the most important thing for us is whether or not to cooperate with Li Si and the [Source of All Laws]?"

What are your thoughts?

Faced with Borkan's question, the others fell silent for a moment.

To be honest, the legendary mages could naturally see the significance of what Li Si was doing.

Without a doubt, the emergence of the [Source of All Laws] has greatly benefited the entire Pan-Continental Law Master Association.

Moreover, if Li Si truly succeeds, this would be enough to alter the internal structure of the Pan-Continental Mage Association.

However, this is a good thing for the Pan-Continental Mage Association, but it may not be a good thing for the schools of thought within the association, or for those who are legendary councilors.

After all, as legendary members of parliament, they were already beneficiaries of the system.

Having occupied most of the resources in the Pan-Continental Mage Association, they naturally wanted to maintain the original structure.

After all, our positions have changed.

If they were still Gold-rank mages, or even Bronze or Silver-rank mages, they would still think that Li Si's work was better.

But for them, who had already achieved legendary status, Li Si's actions were detrimental to their interests.

This is especially true for schools of thought.

If Li Si had succeeded, then the other schools of thought would have essentially become defunct.

In fact, in any extraordinary force, the status of legendary powerhouses is unquestionable.

They are all absolutely the ruling high-ranking members of their respective factions.

Even Li Si did not intend to change this situation.

Even if the [Source of All Laws] changes the Pan-Continental Mage Association, its leaders must still be legendary powerhouses.

However, it involves having the legends allocate some resources to the mid-to-low-level mages in the association.

Of course, aside from the very beginning, the legendary mages didn't actually suffer much loss.
Even so, it doesn't mean everyone is willing to give up the benefits they have.

Most of the legendary members of parliament are still waiting to see how things develop.

However, as Li Si made various actions and decisions, they also realized the changes that were about to happen.

Regardless of whether Li Si ultimately succeeds or fails, the entire Pan-Continental Mage Association has already undergone changes.

Sitting idly by and waiting to die will ultimately lead to nothing.

At this point, one must either support Li Si or stand against him to delay the change as much as possible.

Bolkan understood this, which is why he convened everyone in the school at this time to make the final decision.

"Other schools of thought."

A long-haired man looked at Borkan and asked.

“Hector, this has nothing to do with other schools of thought.”

"We are the Tower of Ashes, and we only need to make our own decisions."

"This"

The others exchanged glances, hesitant and unsure of what to say.

In fact, most legendary politicians don't care much about the potential damage to their interests.

Even if Li Si successfully changes the association, can those mid-to-low-level mages still compete with them for top-tier magic workshops?
But apart from that, many legendary politicians are somewhat concerned about their reputation.

After all, cooperating with Li Si would be tantamount to the Tower of Ashes and these legends "admitting defeat" to Li Si.

If the other party were Li Si's teacher, Second Speaker Stephens, absolutely no one would have any objections.

However, the other party was just a young man who had only recently achieved legendary status.

Many people still find it hard to accept.

"Bolkan."

Mike, sitting next to Bolkan, spoke up:

"There shouldn't be that much of a rush, right?"

"Even Li Si hasn't come to discuss cooperation with us, so why should we take the initiative to cooperate?"

Many people nodded in agreement upon hearing what the deputy leader, Mike, said.

In fact, many people know that at this point, Li Si is unlikely to offer the resources of Kane's floating city in a trade.

But they haven't even shown any sign of cooperation, so why bother sticking on to them directly?

Li Si is indeed very outstanding, but the [Tower of Burning Ashes] is still one of the three top schools of thought in the association.

Is there really a need to be so proactive in admitting defeat?

Li Si sending his disciple to trade qualifications might be a gesture of goodwill from him.

Why did Borkan have to make this decision?
Do other people think the same way?

Borkan looked at the people around him and asked.

"Actually, there's no particular reason. I just think Li Si is right." "Whether it's an association or a school of thought, it's time for a change."

"The emergence of the school of thought enabled the association to grow rapidly."

"But with this increased power, many people have lost the motivation to move forward, especially those who are legendary members of parliament."

"Perhaps, as Li Si said, an overly peaceful life will corrupt everyone's will."

"Even legends are the same."

After a pause, Borkan continued:

"As you should know, my target is Second Speaker Stephens."

"Although I know very well that my chances of catching up with Lord Stephens are extremely slim, I will never give up."

"This is my goal!"

"But now, I feel that most of you are no longer as passionate as you were before the legends began!"

After saying that, Borkan patted his chest hard.

The thumping sound made the other people's eyes twitch.

It can only be said that the leader of their school of thought is really different from others.

However, even though some people remained unmoved by what Borkan said, no one voiced any opposition.

As the leader of the Tower of Ashes, Borkan's strength and prestige are enough to command respect.

Seeing that Borkan had made up his mind, the others remained silent.

Therefore, the high-level meeting of the [Tower of Ashes] concluded, and it was decided to begin supporting Li Si and the [Source of All Laws]'s plan.

With a wave of his hand, Borkan ordered everyone to join the [Source of All Laws].

The same applies to the legendary politician who was commissioned for a photoshoot.

"Borkan, you're not what you promised before."

Mike slapped the table and said with a hint of helplessness.

In this room, with only him and Borkan present, there was no need for him to be as reserved as before.

"We clearly agreed to take it slow, so why are you suddenly demanding that everyone take their time?"

"While this saves time, there is no doubt that many people will be dissatisfied with you, and it may even affect your cooperation with Li Si."

Borkan stood by the window, looking down at the floating city, and said calmly:

"so what?"

Borkan said earnestly:

"The most important thing now is to save time."

"Ok?"

Mike straightened up and looked at Borkan, saying:
"When I met Li Si last time, he told me a guess."

"I've done some investigation over this period of time and found that Li Si's guess is very likely true."

"whats the matter?"

"I do not know how?"

Mike looked at Bolkan and said with some dissatisfaction.

How could you keep something so important from him?
Have you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, also betrayed the revolution?
"I can't tell you the specifics yet, but it's very important."

Borkan shook his head and said in a serious tone:
"I'm not entirely sure about those people's identities yet, so I can't tell you."

"This matter is extremely important."

"Regardless of the outcome, the association may never be able to remain as peaceful as it was before."

"I really hope one of the speakers can come back!"

Borkan sighed and said with some annoyance.

"Is it that serious?"

Upon hearing this, Mike's expression turned serious.

If even Bolkan is treating this matter with such caution, could it be something that concerns the safety of the entire Pan-Continental Mage Association?
Although his curiosity grew, Mike did not ask any further questions.

He knew that although Borkan sometimes seemed unreliable, he would never make a mistake when he was serious.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Mike looked at Bolkan and asked seriously,
"Don't worry, I won't hesitate to help you if you need it."

Borkan shook his head and looked down at the peaceful floating city of Minos.

It's unclear how significant the impact on the Pan-Continental Mage Association will be.

The less damage caused, the better.

Meanwhile, in the city of Jonas,
"What's the deal with Li Si? Why is he willing to pay such a high price?"

"how could I know!"

"I told you long ago, act quickly and get those elementary school students to join that [Source of All Laws]!"

"Now look what's happened. One wrong step leads to another. Even if restrictions are imposed now, I doubt anyone will be willing to comply."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"Even if we start restricting them early, with Li Si presenting these conditions, how many people do you think will listen to us?"

"Okay, what's the fuss about?"

The room fell silent.

"Then what should we do now?"

"Wait, things will change."

In a remote place, there is a peaceful and quiet little town.

It is like a place forgotten by time, quietly exuding a unique and simple atmosphere. There is no noise or hustle and bustle, but it has its own tranquil and far-reaching charm.

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight gently fall on the cobblestone streets of the small town, as if draping the entire town in a golden veil.

Every now and then, pedestrians stroll slowly along the winding path into this small town.

A few guards stood languidly at the city gate. Their armor gleamed faintly in the sunlight, but could not hide the weariness on their faces.

Some of the guards leaned against the city wall, idly looking around, while others squinted and dozed off.

It's no wonder they were so listless; this small town was like a forgotten corner of the world, having never encountered any danger for a long time.

There is no fighting or robbery here, no disturbance from bandits or thieves; it seems that the turmoil of the outside world has nothing to do with it.

Walking through the city gate, you enter the town's streets. On both sides of the streets are houses arranged in a staggered pattern, their roof tiles neatly arranged, tinged with a faint bluish-gray by the erosion of time.

On the street, several small shops opened early, and the shop owners leisurely arranged their goods, waiting for the few customers.

Not far from the small town, there is a continuous gray mountain range.

The mountain range resembled a sleeping dragon, lying quietly across the land.

The mountain range is covered with jagged rocks, as if it had been sculpted mercilessly by the years.

Sparse vegetation grows with difficulty in the cracks between the rocks. There are no dense forests or beautiful flowers, only some stubborn wild grasses trembling in the wind.

As night falls, the small town is shrouded in a mysterious darkness.

Only a few dim streetlights emitted a faint light in the darkness.

The guards remained steadfast at the city gate, and although they were still somewhat listless, their presence gave people a strange sense of security.

Rumble~
Faint sounds came from the direction of the mountains, startling the sleepy guards.

He looked over with some confusion, but didn't see anything. He then yawned and didn't pay any more attention.

But in the heart of the mountain range, the earth cracked open, and a huge, grotesque fissure appeared.

The roars of beasts could be faintly heard from within.
