Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 377 A World Without Magic

Shaka was quite skilled in magic arrays, and under Yumian's guidance, she soon mastered the method of resetting teleportation arrays.

A week later, Xu Shen and Sha Jia returned to the Nazca Forbidden Zone, accompanied by Tang Yue.

Limited by the still-developing Apas, Xu Shen had almost no spare summoning magic power to explore this other dimension.

Therefore, it was no surprise that the task of exploring the other world fell to Tang Yue.

Despite the fierce attacks of the Nazca monsters, the three of them dug open the altar that had already been filled in by the monsters once again.

Saga meticulously arranged the magic stones. After about ten minutes, the silver light of the ancient altar flickered several times and then fell silent again.

"Is this good?"

“Mmm,” Shaka nodded and stepped aside, saying, “Sister Tang Yue, it’s up to you now.”

"I will handle it."

A moon-white light flickered at Tang Yue's fingertips, and a vortex gate shimmering with silver light gradually took shape on the altar.

With the teleportation array in place, it's difficult for summoning magic to deviate from its target location.

Soon, Tang Yue's spiritual power appeared in that small world, roaming freely like a deity.

After a long while, she withdrew her mental energy.

"It's incredible!"

Tang Yue's face was filled with shock.

"How to say?"

"Xu Shen, Shaka, can you imagine a world without magic?"

"Huh...huh?!?" Xu Shen's eyes widened. "Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"

Not only Xu Shen, but Sha Jia also opened her mouth, looking incredulous.

Tang Yue smiled wryly: "To be honest, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe. It's like... it's like..."

Her eyes suddenly lit up: "I remember when I was a teacher at Tianlan High School, I confiscated a few students' science fiction novels. That dimensional space is a little similar to the world described in those science fiction novels."

Xu Shen frowned deeply: "Are you sure it's those science fiction novels that involve physics, chemistry, and other disciplines?"

"I'm not blind," Tang Yue glared at Xu Shen and said, "When I'm bored, I sometimes flip through these novels. I never imagined that these novelists' imaginative works would have some similarities to the real world. I even wonder if they have actually lived in similar worlds."

Xu Shen said, "After all, writing novels is not just making things up; it has to be logical. It's not impossible that there is some kind of intrinsic connection between the fantasy world and the real world."

At this moment, Shaka glanced at the array plate, which was already covered in cracks, and said, "Brother, why don't we go back first? Sister Xiaoyu's array plate is about to give out."

"Alright."

Xu Shen grabbed Shaka and rushed out of the altar first.

All he needs to do is protect Shaka.

As for Tang Yue, he didn't need to worry about her at all.

Those who make it to the trial committee are not exactly innocent.

Furthermore, Tang Yue's shadow magic was even more effective in this place where hordes of beasts covered the sky.

Sure enough, by the time Xu Shen left the Nazca forbidden area, Tang Yue had already sunbathed for half an hour.

Damn teleportation magic!
Xu Shen felt envious, jealous, and resentful...

Back at the hotel, Tang Yue described in detail what she had seen and heard.

A huge chimney belching black smoke.

A train rumbles forward amidst the roar of steam.

A factory assembling track gears...

These incredible things were gradually transformed into vivid pictures under Tang Yue's pen.

This night.

All four of them suffered from insomnia.

Everyone here isn't stupid; they all know what what they've witnessed in this dimensional space means.

That was a civilization created without relying on magic.

Perhaps it is not very powerful yet.

However, no one can say for sure what its potential and future will be.

Once it's exposed, will it be war or peace?
Is it progress or regression?

Could this rewrite the fate of humanity?
The unknown brings not only curiosity, but also fear...

"Xu Shen, you have to go to that dimensional space."

In a daze, Xu Shen seemed to hear a special female voice, both holy and alluring.

He instinctively opened his eyes: "Who's speaking?"

"it's me."

Xu Shen was forcibly pulled into the spiritual world by an inexplicable force.

Above the Summoning Galaxy, a gigantic fox shadow stared at him.

"Fox Mother? You're awake?!"

The fox mother said, "I need to stay here with you for a while longer. As payment, I will give you a great fortune."

Xu Shen's mind raced: "That dimensional spacetime?"

"Yes and no."

Xu Shen smiled and said, "Since you asked me to go, then I will go."

A slight ripple flickered in the fox mother's indifferent eyes before the entire fox shadow vanished.

Xu Shen probed the contract space with his spiritual power.

The little fox was still fast asleep, its nine fluffy tails swaying slightly.

As for Apas next door.

Beneath the enormous cocoon lay the dull, lifeless waste rock left behind after dozens of magic drills had exhausted their energy.

Xu Shen's lips twitched.

This spendthrift woman.

In just a few days, almost an entire small city has been wiped out.

Old Man Mu was getting impatient and kept calling every few days to subtly probe Xu Shen, fearing that he might have been scammed or kidnapped.

"the vast horizon is my love……"

He swiped his phone, and Mo Fan's nonchalant voice rang out: "Hey, when are you coming back to the team? We'll be in the US after tonight."

"Did you get the Red Ornaments Guild sorted out?"

“When my great Mo Fan makes a move, it’s naturally a piece of cake.”

On the other end of the phone, Mo Fan lay on the bed with his legs crossed, picking his toes and looking smug.

"Great!"

Overwhelmed with a desire to show off, Mo Fan started babbling: "Let me tell you... (see the original work for details, I won't go into the word count), you would never guess that the reward for this trial MVP is actually the Dark Lord's Cloak donated by that old man Esendel."

Xu Shen was somewhat surprised: "You mean, that cloak ended up in your hands after all these twists and turns?"

“That’s right!” Mo Fan said, “I wonder if that old man is used to being in the far south ice realm. I really want to see what kind of expression that old guy will have when he sees his cloak on me. He must be stunned, hehehe…”

"By the way, when are you coming? The United States is not weak. Old Ai said that without you, we are not necessarily confident that we can get that National Guard badge."

"We've made a new discovery in the Nazca Lines, and I can't say for sure when we'll be able to get there."

Mo Fan casually flicked away a snot from his nose: "What did you discover?"

Xu Shen hesitated and said, "I can tell you, but you must keep it a secret."

Hearing the solemnity in Xu Shen's tone, Mo Fan also became a bit more serious: "Go on, tell me."

"We have discovered a world without magic, but where human civilization exists."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Xu Shen asked in confusion, "Hey, why aren't you saying anything?"

Mo Fan's voice suddenly became somewhat urgent: "What is that world like?"

Xu Shen did not reply, but simply sent over several sketches drawn by Tang Yue.

After a while, Mo Fan's voice came: "I want to go and see this world!"

"What a coincidence, I thought so too."
