This crazy wizard is quite stable

Chapter 207 There are actually experts here?

Although they knew Isaac had successfully advanced when magic began to gather in his spine, they finally breathed a sigh of relief when Isaac actually walked out.

Then everyone's gaze fell on the silver staff that had appeared in Isaac's hand. The staff was entirely silver, and strangely enough, although it was clearly a straight stick without any splicing marks and a sculpture of a dragon claw holding a heart, at first glance, everyone seemed to see a snow-white spine, with the end connected to a ferocious and monstrous claw...

Sacred, yet sinister...

Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Isaac smiled slightly, raised the staff in his hand, and said, "This is called the [Staff of the Evil Dragon]. Like the wizard's robes I'm wearing, it's a legendary wizard's exclusive magical artifact. Like most staves, it has the ability to assist and enhance spellcasting. Furthermore, it can be used with me to modify tissues, for example..."

"Sigh~"

Isaac tilted his head slightly, revealing a gentle smile. The next moment, an eerie eye opened between his brows, first curiously looking around, then the lively look in his eyes faded with disappointment, turning into an unconscious demonic eye. However, although the evil god's gaze receded, his power did not disappear with it.

However, compared to the demonic eye between Isaac's eyebrows, which had gone from vibrant to dormant, the demonic eye that appeared on the surface of the staff's heart looked somewhat dull. This was because the demonic eye was not connected to the evil god, and therefore could not bring Isaac any power.

Apart from Liuli and Shushu, everyone else stared blankly at Isaac.

Clearly, they also couldn't quite understand this abstract and distorted scene.

Isaac naturally took all of this into account. He didn't really understand it either, but there was nothing he could do. This was the price of gaining power. He also wanted a normal art style and had tried to achieve it.

But there was nothing we could do; the Outer Gods were just too generous!

This also proves a truth—as long as you're willing to act like a monster, you're invincible!

Among their group, only Liuli and Shushu could accept his bizarre fighting style. After all, Liuli's own form was quite bizarre. Although she thought she had hidden it well, Isaac actually knew all along.

As for the rats...

It's just plain stupid. It doesn't have any normal understanding. To it, Isaac's image is the most normal image, and everything else is heresy!
After a brief demonstration, Isaac closed the magic eye between his eyebrows and on his staff, and then the staff in his hand disappeared in a ray of magical light.

"Alright, we can dismiss now. I have some things to take care of, so that's it. Dismissed."

After speaking, a blue vortex of magic appeared behind Isaac. Isaac turned and walked into it, leaving the group looking at each other in bewilderment. This seemed to be different from what had been discussed before...

Shouldn't we have a celebration banquet after the promotion?
Their food is all ready...

However, since it was Isaac's order, they couldn't say anything. After exchanging glances, they went their separate ways: some studied magic, some managed their territories, some recruited people, and some cleaned...

Soon, the top floor of the mage tower was completely deserted.

On the other side, Isaac passed through the magical vortex and arrived at a white hall. Isaac walked in the hall full of white mist, curiously looking at the names left on the four walls. Some were familiar, and some were completely unfamiliar to him. His older sister Cheryl Solomon's name was among them.

This is the final step in the promotion to high-ranking wizard, or rather, the first thing to do after being promoted to high-ranking wizard—registration!
This is a rule that has been passed down since ancient times.

Originally, it was simply to ensure that wizards who contributed to the path of wizardry would be remembered by the world. Later, as more and more wizards left their names on it, its significance grew, and leaving one's name on it began to have substantial benefits.

For example, legend has it that wizards can increase their influence and strengthen their connection to the world by leaving their names here, which is a real benefit for the wizards' cultivation.

However, nowadays, as legendary wizards have acquired more and more abilities, the significance of leaving one's name here has gradually faded from their notice. As for arcane wizards, they have no need for anchor points, so naturally they don't need to leave their names here.

This has been going on for so many years that it has become a custom and a tradition. So whether it is an arcane mage, a legendary wizard, or a witch, as long as they advance to the third rank, they must come here to leave their name.

Of course, this is an honor reserved only for spellcasters. A melee barbarian like a knight, let alone a third-tier one, wouldn't even qualify to leave his name here, let alone a demigod!
Isaac was strolling through the palace, leisurely looking at the names carved around him, when he suddenly froze, realizing that he could sense a familiar presence here!

but……

Shouldn't only one person be allowed in here at a time?
Of course, that's not entirely accurate. To be precise, Isaac is the only one in this plane. After all, as the world grows larger and its influence expands, more and more wizards will come in. As a sacred place, this place naturally cannot be as noisy as a vegetable market.

So, besides the ascendants, there's only one powerful spellcaster here, presiding over the name-inscription ceremony...

Isaac already had a guess about the man's identity, so he stopped looking at the names around him and followed the direction of the scent. Soon, he saw a familiar woman...

Or rather, the familiar...majestic!
"Long time no see! I never imagined that in this day and age, someone as crazy as you, a mad witch, would still appear!"

Hearing that familiar tone, Isaac smiled slightly and replied, "I didn't expect to meet you here, respected witch senior."

As he spoke, Isaac bowed respectfully, both as a sign of respect for his senior and as a way of thanking him for his past help. Although the rules of the promotion ceremony were in place, he still had his cheat code to guarantee a high success rate.

But there's nothing wrong with bowing your head at times like this. Isn't it good to get noticed by the big shots?
Isaac was not the kind of pedantic or arrogant person.

Yes, the woman in front of him, exuding an aura of maturity, was the great witch that Isaac had encountered many times during his ascension using the witch element ritual.

"Alright~ Enough of the unnecessary words~ Leave your name here~" The Great Witch chuckled softly, her slender white fingers pointing lightly, and a jade-like document appeared before Isaac. Isaac didn't hesitate; magic appeared at his fingertips, which gently floated on the document, and Isaac's name was written on it completely, though not completely—it was missing the last character.

"Hmm?" The Great Witch was taken aback, looking at Isaac with great interest. "What do you want to do?"

“Senior, I would like to know if I can look up the name of a mad witch here?” Isaac asked with a smile.

"No, this is a sacred place for spellcasters. Your grudges can be settled outside." The Great Witch spoke in her slow, gentle, yet undeniable tone.

Isaac shrugged helplessly. He had expected this outcome and was just trying his luck. So after being rejected, Isaac wrote the last word and completed the ceremony of leaving his name.

In an instant, Isaac felt as if his body had become heavier, and his understanding of magic and the rules of law seemed to have become much clearer.

At that moment, Isaac realized that he needed to settle down and consolidate his cultivation at the third level. He could no longer advance his realm as rapidly as before. At the same time, he should also stop his dealings with the Outer God.

Because of his rapid increase in strength and frequent transactions with the Outer Gods, Isaac's connection with the world has become somewhat weak. If this continues, he will eventually be rejected by the real world, just like those Outer Gods...

At that time, having lost the protection of the real world, he will face the Outer Gods whom he once killed!

So Isaac now has two paths: one is to intensify his efforts to plunder the power of the Outer Gods and strive to grow to the point where he can disregard the gods before being rejected by the real world!

But this road is very dangerous!
The danger doesn't stem from the inherent danger of the ritual itself, but rather from the fact that the speed at which he plunders might not be as fast as the speed at which the real world rejects him!
So, while he may seem to have two choices, he actually only has one – to stop, reflect on himself, and increase his standing in the real world.

Fortunately, his third-tier strength, coupled with his background in the Flesh and Blood Cult, was enough for him to survive and mature in the real world.

Therefore, when Isaac felt his increased weight, he prepared to leave. He bowed to the Great Witch who sat high on the throne and turned to leave.

Just as Isaac turned around, the Great Witch's gentle and soothing voice reached his ears.

“There was a man named Brettorman… oh no, he should now be called the Lord of the Illusory Starry Sky. Before he became a god, he was an astrologer.”

"Hmm?" Isaac, who had walked out of the magic vortex and returned to the top floor of the mage tower, was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Then, with a smile, he bowed again in the direction where the magic vortex had dissipated. Although he didn't know if the great witch was in this direction, it was always good to show his respect.

"The Lord of the Illusory Starry Sky?" Isaac's eyes flickered. He seemed to have heard this name before. It was a wizard from a very long time ago. Back then, the path of wizarding had not gone so far. For wizards at that time, becoming a god was their greatest pursuit.

Among the current righteous gods, some were once wizards, but this proportion is decreasing. As the path of wizardry has developed, its potential has far surpassed that of the path of gods. Therefore, these wizards who were once righteous gods are trying to break away from the path of gods and return to the path of wizardry.

And there have already been many successful cases.

Of course, this absolutely does not include the Lord of the Illusory Starry Sky. Even in that era, he was a loser; otherwise, he would not be an evil god, but a righteous one.

It is said that he was later robbed by many mad witches, and now he has fallen to the point where no mad witch would even look at him...

Yes, even in this era where most transactions are legitimate, few mad wizards would be interested in his paltry sums. If even legitimate mad wizards look down on him, then Isaac, this unorthodox mad wizard, is even less likely to be interested.

Not to mention that the astrological school has always been an extremely niche school within the wizarding world, and Isaac had even less interest in it. So he only glanced at the name and then skipped over it, without bothering to memorize it properly.

However, it seems necessary to go back and do some research now.
Of course, there's no rush. Now that the number of enemies has increased, there's no need to rush to deal with that guy. Besides, he has just been promoted to a high-level wizard, and there are still many areas where he can improve. He can develop properly first, and it's not too late to take revenge later.

As long as it's not a deal with Outer Gods, and it's simply an increase in strength, it won't affect Isaac's importance in the real world. In fact, as he gains more power through normal means, his importance might even increase!
Of course, before that, you can register with the Cult of Flesh and Blood to update your current strength, and then apply for "Some Optimization Attempts on Spellcasting Skills and Privileges".

After all, attacking an external god would affect his standing in the real world, but attacking a true god would not!
Although they are subject to some limitations in the real world, they still belong to this world, so plundering their power will not be rejected by the real world!
Therefore, these are truths that the cowards of the Mad Witch Society will never understand!
……

At the Flesh and Blood Cult's research project application window, the staff member looked at the mad witch who had come to apply for that outrageous project again, and his lips twitched slightly. To be honest, he really wanted to just reject this guy's crazy project like before!

Targeting external gods is no longer enough for this guy; has this madman actually extended his evil clutches to the true gods?

Are you sure this won't anger the gods?

Although the Flesh and Blood Cult was powerful and fearless of gods, the staff knew very well that he was just a minor second-tier wizard. To wizards outside the cult, he was already considered a genius, but within the cult, he was nothing more than a weakling who had to work for the cult to earn even magic stones. In a confrontation with such a behemoth, the weaklings would definitely be the first to die.

So if possible, he really didn't want to let this guy pass...

Unfortunately, things are different now. Isaac is now a high wizard, and the research topics he applies for are no longer up to him. According to the rules, all research topics of high wizards must be reported to the sect's temporary committee and reviewed by available high wizards and above.

So, no matter how much he disliked the topic, he could only force a stiff smile and send Isaac's proposal up for review via a small teleportation array.

A moment later, Isaac's research proposal was approved. After all, they were all high-level wizards, so their information processing speed was quite fast, and wizards were used to efficient working methods.

As Isaac had predicted, the review was successfully completed.

After receiving the application from the stiff staff member, Isaac smiled slightly, turned around, and left while flipping through the application.

However, after taking only two steps, Isaac stood frozen in surprise as he looked at the application form. In addition to the signature indicating approval, the application form also contained several invitations and recommendations for wizard candidates!
How could a legitimate wizarding organization like the Flesh and Blood Cult have such talent?
How come he didn't know before?
