This crazy wizard is quite stable

Chapter 272 Enslaving Outer Gods!

Tier 4, a level that was once out of reach for Isaac, is now within his grasp.

In the past three years, Isaac has already completed writing the three spellbooks of the High Wizard, and each of them has given birth to corresponding legendary power. Unfortunately, the level of these powers is still not enough for Isaac at present.

They are not even as powerful as the powers Isaac picked up from the Outer Gods, but they are still quite good as a reserve of knowledge, and you never know when they might come in handy.

Legend has it that a wizard needs to create three miracles for the world in order to advance to the fourth rank.

The so-called miracles refer to automatically triggered rituals similar to the Genie's Lamp Trial and the Island Conquest, where completing the ritual will grant certain rewards.

The number of miracles required for promotion is also three, following the principle of the mysterious number three.

Miracles, like the rituals and stories mentioned earlier, can be constructed in different ways. They can be built from self-written stories, extracted from past history, or even completely fictional. For example, the trial of the magic lamp is a completely fictional miracle.

It was created simply to create a miracle; it has no story basis whatsoever and is merely a battle between two factions.

As with the previous rituals and stories, different combinations have different effects.

Of course, in the wizarding world, some people think this is nonsense, that any combination is irrelevant, as long as you can advance in rank.

However, such remarks are generally considered to be the opinions of incompetent people, because they do not actually think this thing is unimportant, but rather that they are incapable of doing it.

Yes, I don't have the ability.

Isaac was also surprised when he learned this, because whether it is a wizard or a knight, those who can reach the threshold of the fourth rank must not be ordinary people. Without some foundation, they would not be able to reach this point at all.

Simply put, if each level in the first three stages is similar, then the threshold for the fourth stage will inevitably be slightly lower, and this slight difference will prevent you from breaking through!

That was what Isaac originally thought.

But when he actually reached the threshold of the fourth tier, his authority within the Flesh and Blood Cult was elevated, allowing him to access more knowledge related to the fourth tier. Thus, he truly understood what a great era of wizarding was now!
With the development of the wizarding path, advancement is no longer as complicated as it used to be for wizards today. At least up to the fifth rank, there are shortcuts available!

For example, when it comes to advancing to the fourth rank, let's leave aside arcane mages, who have their own set of advancement rules. But even for legendary wizards, there are quite a few shortcuts to advancing to the fourth rank. Some only require a miracle, some don't require their own miracle, and some don't even require a miracle at all...

In short, there are all sorts of methods.

However, one thing remains the same: wizards who take shortcuts to advance will not only be weaker than other wizards of the same rank in the early stages of their advancement, but they may even be unable to defeat some outstanding third-rank wizards.

Of course, although its combat power is slightly lower, after promotion, it still has the basic configuration of a fourth-level wizard. As long as it stays at home and focuses on research for a period of time, its combat power can quickly catch up with wizards of the same level.

In addition, almost none of those who can become wizards are mentally challenged. Even those who take shortcuts to advance will obediently find a place to hide and improve their own power before emerging from the mountains.

So although a weaker fourth-tier unit exists, it is actually very rare for a third-tier unit to defeat a fourth-tier unit; at least, Isaac couldn't find any.

However, this had little to do with Isaac, since he neither intended nor needed to take shortcuts. His focus remained on the orthodox path to becoming a miracle wizard—namely, the choice of the three miracles.

The first miracle is to choose one of the stories one has written and incorporate the entire storyline into the laws of the world, so that corresponding rituals will appear in this world from time to time.

For example, if Isaac chooses "Cinderella," then a ritual called "Cinderella" will appear in this world. As long as the relationships between the characters are roughly met, such as the important elements of "Cinderella," "Prince," "Stepmother," and "Stepsister," then this ritual will take place. The person chosen by the ritual needs to complete some specific events.

By either advancing or altering the plot to complete this ritual, one can obtain a reward.

The reward could be a magical item from the story, a spell from the story, or even a fairy's wish.

This type of miracle would greatly strengthen Isaac's connection with the world, reinforcing his anchor. In some scattered records of the cult, it is even subtly described that creating this type of miracle could reduce the difficulty of becoming a great wizard!
So this was naturally a must-have for Isaac, but the difference was that he didn't choose "Cinderella," but rather "The Ugly Duckling"!
Although the abilities that "The Ugly Duckling" provides to Isaac are far less than those in "Cinderella," with only one higher spell, for Isaac himself, the two are of equal status.

In that case, Isaac needs to consider compatibility, that is, who is more popular.

The greater the miracles these creations bring to the world, the more feedback Isaac will receive, and naturally, the fewer difficulties he will encounter when he advances to become a great wizard.

From this perspective, there is no doubt that "The Ugly Duckling" and "Cinderella" are the best examples of the same style!
Compared to the rituals in Cinderella that require complex interpersonal relationships to trigger, the story of The Ugly Duckling is quite concise. Moreover, compared to the rich rewards in Cinderella, the rewards in The Ugly Duckling are quite simple and direct—directly enhancing one's bloodline or potential!

This thing isn't very useful for wizards right now, but it's quite practical for knights and even adventurers...

Unfortunately, compared to the lofty wizards, these are the most numerous beings in this human world!

Furthermore, this ritual extends beyond humans; monsters can also enjoy its benefits!

And monsters are also part of this world!

Of course, besides that, Isaac also had some selfish motives. Although it hasn't started yet, the new path of wizardry, which uses the heart and bloodline as the source of magic, is a field that Isaac will inevitably step into sooner or later. This ritual might bring him some unexpected surprises in this regard in the future.

but……

The ideal is lofty, but the reality is harsh. Currently, we are still completely clueless about how to construct a miracle. This thing is not recorded in the sect's records, or rather, it cannot be recorded. Its content cannot even be described orally...

Isaac can only study it slowly on his own...

Fortunately, Isaac isn't in a rush now. He's been moving too fast before, so it's time to slow down...

Not bad at all~
However, the slowness only applies to this aspect; in other areas, such as combat strength...

Isaac isn't going to be slow!

This is the third thing he is doing now—enslaving the Outer Gods!
