Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

The forbidden book area was a disorderly and chaotic space. Lin Xia had forgotten the passage of time, had no communication with the outside world, and did not know what year or month it was.

After realizing that the energy of the Nourishing Life Realm was enormous and could develop the power of various parts of the body, she decided to stay in the forbidden book area until she had thoroughly figured out the Nourishing Life Realm.

Because she knew that Hogwarts could no longer provide her with a stable environment.

The aura of power emanating from her was something even she herself couldn't conceal.

This is the fundamental issue arising from the leap in the level of life.

As soon as she appears in the magical world, no one will think of her as an underage wizard; they will only feel that her aura is comparable to that of a powerful figure like Dumbledore in the magical world.

Lin Xia didn't know many high-ranking wizards in the magical world, and the only one she could compare herself to was Dumbledore.

After all, he would still appear at Hogwarts a few times, and Lin Xia had sensed his presence.

Judging from his aura, Lin Xia felt that she had reached the same level as him.

This is incredible, considering how old Dumbledore is, and how old she is.

But the thought that she had been immersing herself in forbidden books, absorbing knowledge from various taboo subjects, and maintaining a high reading speed was unbearable.

Each time I finish reading a banned book, I can make the knowledge inside work for my own use.

So it's not surprising that it has reached such a level.

She was unaffected by the evil god's ravings and could even feed on the evil god's power.

Thus, she could move freely in the forbidden book area as if she had entered her own backyard, where she could receive the greatest gifts from the forbidden book area.

Lin Xia's knowledge and skills have been growing little by little with the help of the forbidden books. If she were to go out now, she would probably be able to teach those high-level wizards.

She read so many banned books that she couldn't even count them all.

Based on the speed at which knowledge accumulates in the magical world, Lin Xia was certain that without living in the magical world for two or three thousand years, one wouldn't know as much as she did.

This vast amount of knowledge not only helped her improve herself, but also steadily enhanced her knowledge of ancient magic script.

She had previously thought that she would ask Babling about the knowledge related to stripping magic runes after she went out, but now she doesn't need to ask anymore, she can already make dozens of variant magic runes related to stripping magic runes.

Unbeknownst to her, even if her level of ancient magic script was not as good as Babuling's, she could still claim to be the second best after Babuling.

After all, besides studying ancient magic script, she also devoted a lot of effort to studying modern magic.

Only by understanding the changes can we deduce entirely new changes from them.

Suddenly, Lin Xia, who was lying on the ground, opened her eyes, and the stars in the sky that were facing her dimmed the moment she opened her eyes.

But soon after, it regained its brilliance.

Reading these banned books in the restricted book zone prevents them from becoming consumables.

The forbidden books that Lin Xia had already thoroughly understood would not be read by her again, and the light of those stars would not shine on her again.

Lin Xia was about to start reading the next book when she realized that not a single starlight shone on her. She paused slightly, then whispered:
"I've read all the banned books in this area too..."

She stood up, stretched, and realized she would have to go to another area to find the forbidden books.

The restricted book area seemed vast and boundless, but thanks to Lin Xia's superb efficiency, only a few places remained with books she hadn't read.

Moreover, it's unclear whether the supernatural forces within the forbidden book area wanted to nurture Lin Xia, placing all their hopes on her.

As Lin Xia constantly changed locations, all she saw was a sky full of dazzling stars; there was never another sight.

Over the years, the wizards who ventured into the forbidden book area to search for Lin Xia's whereabouts had never encountered a sky full of stars.

Both sides appear to be exploring the same place, but are separated into different dimensions by the forbidden book zone.

As long as Lin Xia doesn't break the boundaries of spatial dimensions, she will never encounter those explorers.

Lin Xia arrived at another place, and she keenly noticed that there weren't as many forbidden books here as elsewhere.

Given her efficiency, she'll probably finish watching it very soon.

She estimated that she had probably explored a very deep area of ​​forbidden books.

Once Lin Xia's consciousness connected with these stars, she was pleasantly surprised to find that although there weren't many forbidden books here, their contents were all very profound.

Without reading other forbidden books beforehand to lay a foundation, venturing directly into these profound contents will place a heavy burden on the wizard and make them easily susceptible to interference from the ravings of evil gods.

But for her, it was just right.

With the help of these forbidden books, Lin Xia has almost figured out the realm of health cultivation and has also developed dozens of spells that only she can cast.

Yes, it's magic.

She has fused the techniques of the "Nine Heavens Profound Yang Secret Record" with the magical power of the magic world, creating a magic that can be used in the magic world while also possessing the sharpness, light, and dispelling properties of the "Nine Heavens Profound Yang Secret Record".

These spells, when seen by others, would not be perceived as energy from another world, but rather as a relatively rare type of magic, which could be categorized as ancient magic.

After all, these spells are based on ancient magical script, and the incantations are not in modern language.

Therefore, even if she leaves the restricted area and goes outside, she can openly use these dozens of original spells without worrying about being suspected.

After reading a profound book, Lin Xia gained a completely new understanding of space.

This book is about space, and it provides an in-depth analysis of several ancient spatial spells in the magical world, spells that she had never learned before.

These spells are quite old, and Hogwarts doesn't have any records of them.

In this book, the author envisions the future evolution of spatial magic, moving towards increasingly complex forms of movement.

However, after hundreds of years of evolution, spatial magic has become a very simple form of spatial movement magic, namely Apparition, which is different from the path predicted in this forbidden book.

The forbidden book's spatial magic allows for large-scale spatial transfers while also ensuring safety.

Modern magic, on the other hand, abandons large-scale spatial transfer in favor of individual spatial transfer, which is more efficient and flexible, but also more dangerous and not suitable for collective action.

After reading this banned book, Lin Xia gained a deeper understanding of space and was able to apply it to her previous understanding of high-dimensional space transfer.

The space in the forbidden book area was originally quite complicated for her, but now it seems to have become simpler, because she can actually find some patterns in the disorder and chaos!
As she continued to explore along this pattern, she suddenly felt the energy that the forbidden book space was pouring into her.

It was this energy that caused her to see a sky full of dazzling stars wherever she went.

And it was this energy that isolated her from communication with the outside world. Lin Xia murmured to herself, "Is this the power of separation between dimensions?"

"The energy attached to me by the forbidden book area is a kind of great power from the dimension. This power is similar to spatial magic, but not the same. It is more ancient and profound, and more difficult to understand."

But once you master this power...

Lin Xia raised her head, her eyes seemingly looking at the dazzling stars, but in reality, she had already traversed layers of dimensions and seen through all the various spaces that the forbidden book area had transformed into.

"I see. That explains why no one bothered me when I was reading forbidden books, and why my disappearance seemed to go unnoticed in the magical world. It turns out that the forbidden book area isolated me in another dimension, so the people sent by the magical world couldn't find me at all."

After she deciphered this power, she also found the wizard who was active in the forbidden book area.

These wizards were actually very close to her; if she took a few steps forward and tapped a certain point, she could appear in front of them.

She also noticed that the group of wizards had come to the forbidden book area, but it seemed they weren't there to read the forbidden books.

They looked around, as if they were looking for someone.

Lin Xia's eyes flickered slightly.

She doesn't want to come out at this stage. She'll consider appearing in the magical world after she's finished reading all the contents of the forbidden book area.

Moreover, given her current aura, even if she were to actually appear in the magical world, it would cause quite a stir.

She still needs to find a way to contain the overflowing energy within her.

Having read so many forbidden books, she still hasn't found a magic that can contain all the energy within her.

But Lin Xia firmly believed that the answers she sought were found in these banned books.

On the other hand, the Aurors sent by the Ministry of Magic this time also came up empty-handed.

They didn't dare linger in the technical area and left right on time.

The Aurors exchanged the information they had just gathered.

"Nothing was detected."

"Same here."

"I accidentally touched a forbidden book while I was exploring, but something strange happened: the evil god's murmurs did not entangle me."

"I haven't taken any resistance drugs, so I should be able to sense it once I come into contact with the ravishing words of the evil god," an Auror said, utterly puzzled.

Upon hearing this, the other Aurors thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Yes, this time when we entered the forbidden book area, I felt that the power of the evil god's ramblings seemed to have weakened. Including the wizards who recently applied to enter the forbidden book area, everyone who came out was in very good condition, with almost zero contamination on their bodies."

One of the Aurors asked, "Do you think the power of the evil god has weakened?"

The reason why the forbidden books in the forbidden book zone are entangled with the ravings of evil gods is because the evil gods are more powerful than us and want to invade the magical world, right?

This is the mark left by the evil god, but if the evil god is preoccupied with its own problems, then the traces of invasion will diminish.

This line of thinking is correct, but none of these Aurors have ever been to the battlefield of the evil gods, so they cannot get a glimpse of it.

If Lin Xia were among these Aurors and overheard their conversation, she might reflect on whether she had been absorbing too much of the evil god's ramblings from the forbidden book area lately.

After all, every time she goes to a new place, she absorbs all the evil god's whispered energy from that space.

By the time she finished reading the books there, almost none of the evil god's ramblings from that place remained.

If someone happens to enter the space she inhabits later, even if the scene and dimension are different, as long as they read the books she once read, they will find that:

There are very few evil spirit ramblings that disturb their minds!
Perhaps just one glowing candle would be enough to protect you while you finish reading.

The battlefield of evil gods, which was mentioned by the Auror, has indeed undergone some changes recently.

Under McGonagall's strict supervision, Nicholson did not leave Hogwarts and had to live a quiet life for a while, staying obediently in the closed laboratory to study the deformed people of the evil god world.

They made a breakthrough in the use of truth serum, extracting the effective substances from it and applying them to mutants, forcing them to speak the language of their world due to the power of the rules.

With continuous improvements in the method of using truth serum, deformed individuals can now vomit for about half an hour.

Because more languages ​​were collected, the wizarding world deciphered some of them. Based on the information obtained, Dumbledore organized a counterattack.

According to the mutants, they are the original inhabitants of the world of evil gods.

Before the evil god descended upon that world, their world was called the True Ancestor World.

It is a world where one uses the power of ancestors to protect oneself, and where one gains enhancements by having the power of ancestors attached to oneself.

Their world's energy development system wasn't very good, but its resources were abundant, which is why the evil god from outer space targeted them.

Every town occupied by the evil god has an altar.

That altar was the one they used to summon the true ancestor.

Even evil gods cannot directly destroy that altar; they can only seal it away.

The magical world had previously used altars to repel evil gods and seized several towns as gathering points.

After seizing those towns, they essentially drove a few nails into the world of evil gods, making it increasingly easier to explore that world from then on.

These mutated humans were originally human, but they were corrupted by the power of the evil god and became mentally unstable, thus becoming puppets of the evil god.

After arriving in the magical world, the evil god's control over them was cut off, allowing them to regain a sliver of clarity and reason.

The mutants harbored intense hatred for the evil god, so they revealed many methods to subdue it.

After learning some important information, Dumbledore immediately organized a group of wizards to fight against the evil gods in the world of evil gods.

The results are remarkable.

The battlefield in the world of evil gods is becoming increasingly clear. The wizarding world is no longer at a disadvantage. As long as wizards unite, they can fight against a low-ranking evil god.

However, many high-ranking wizards know that the power of the magical world is still somewhat different from that of the world of evil gods.

Especially at the highest levels of combat power, what appears to be just a difference of one tier is actually a world of difference. (End of Chapter)
