Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 21 Microscopic Transformation, Ultimate Biology

Eternal life, the difficulty of reaching the end of this road is so high that it is hard for ordinary people to imagine.

You know, the sun that has shone on the earth for billions of years will also go out, and even the universe will experience heat death.

A mere human being wants eternal life...

It's not that Roger is ignorant of the immensity of the world. In his opinion, as long as there is a slight possibility, then even if the possibility is infinitely close to zero, eternal life is worth pursuing throughout his life.

Now, he will start his journey to immortality with Transfiguration as the starting point!

...In ancient times, wizards once studied how to use transfiguration to prolong one's life.

In that era, wizards were not divided into groups based on Muggle borders like they are today, and each group had organizations such as the Ministry of Magic or the Magical Congress to coordinate the overall situation.

At that time, wizards were "independent of each other". Some wizards formed alliances with various Muggle forces to become "court wizards" or "national masters", while others lived in seclusion in the mountains, set up their own sects, monasteries, etc., and were very unfriendly to each other.

Wizards often pass on knowledge through master-apprentice relationships, and there is a lot of sectarianism. Ancient wizards were not qualified to be like today's Hogwarts students, where everyone can learn any spell they want, and most magical knowledge is openly bought and sold.

Often, the apprentice can only learn what his master knows.

If the master is only proficient in potions, then the apprentice will also be only proficient in potions.

A private magic library? Only top wizards like Merlin have that!

So some people know that alchemy, blood modification, Horcruxes and other methods are better at prolonging life, but they can only use the little magic they know to prolong their lives.

The book that Professor McGonagall gave to Roger, "Blood Magic and Transfiguration - Guessing on the Future Era", was written by an ancient wizard who wanted to practice blood transformation and Transfiguration.

His method of prolonging life is very simple: skinning, extracting bones, and replacing organs!
If the skin is wrinkled, use deformation surgery to make the skin firmer.

Osteoporosis makes bones stronger.

When the internal organs age, they are replaced with younger ones.

Just like the legendary Ship of Theseus, it constantly replaces old parts with new ones.

The old wizard spent many years overcoming numerous technical difficulties and finally succeeded in transforming his body into an immortal body that would remain youthful forever... That's what it seemed on the surface.

But his immortal body has three core flaws!

Firstly, even if he replaced almost all of his body parts like Adam the Hammer in Cyberpunk 2077, the only thing he couldn’t replace was his brain!

He does not know soul magic, his thoughts and will cannot be attached to the soul and exist independently from the brain. Even though his other organs are all new, his brain is still aging.

Secondly, when the body replacement is completed, what makes up his body is the product of Transfiguration, and magic will dissipate over time, so when the Transfiguration of a certain part fails, the old wizard must immediately "repair" himself.

The more complex the organ, the more difficult it is to repair. In that period when medicine had not yet entered the modern era, it was not a simple matter to resolve the rejection reaction and allow the various organs to connect with each other normally and perform their respective functions. This period of time would become a fatal period of weakness for the old wizard.

The third defect is somewhat similar to the second defect.

As we all know, except for the three unforgivable curses, almost all spells have counter-spells to eliminate the magical effects.

There are even universal counter-curses such as "The curse stops immediately" and "All curses end".

Therefore, once the old wizard was attacked by spells such as the Restoration Spell and the End of All Spells, he would die instantly! The old wizard wanted to overcome these defects, so after mastering Transfiguration, he switched to the fusion of magical creatures' bloodlines. However, he had no relevant knowledge and could only start from scratch by doing experiments with magical creatures.

In the end, he failed to escape from longevity and died of brain aging.

He only left behind this book, "Blood Magic and Transfiguration - Guesses on the Future Era", which recorded his ideas and endless regrets before his death.

Of course, Roger would not do exactly the same as the old wizard and exchange the thickness of his health bar for two or three hundred years of survival.

The predecessors recorded the paths they had taken so that later generations could learn from them, stand on the shoulders of giants, and move forward to higher places.

If later generations keep repeating the mistakes of their predecessors over and over again, what is the point of leaving behind historical records?

The path Roger is taking now is derived from the old wizard in terms of thinking, but he has his own innovations in technology.

In ancient times, people knew too little about how the world and the human body worked, so they could only resort to the hugely flawed "block deformation" approach.

Roger, who has received modern scientific and technological education, knows what cells, DNA, atoms, and molecules are.

and so……

"Use your own cells as the basic material for Transfiguration. This way, even if you are attacked by a counter-spell and the creation is restored, it will not cause any harm to yourself."

If other materials are used, it may result in a situation similar to a piece of wood deforming the cake, which will turn back into a piece of wood after being eaten and rupture the stomach and intestines.

If red blood cells turn into something else and then turn back into red blood cells, nothing will happen.

"Instead of replacing your old parts, make it your own 'grip'." Roger had watched some movies and played some games in his previous life.

Roger remembered that there was a movie in which the protagonist had nano-tech robots inside his body. These robots, which were smaller than cells, could not only provide him with strength but also repair his injured body.

There is also a game called "Prototype", which contains a zombie virus called "Blacklight" that has a similar effect.

"According to Gamp's Basic Laws of Transfiguration, the integrity of a transfiguration object cannot be separated during the transformation." This is why wizards cannot use Transfiguration to transform food. Human cells cannot break down Transfiguration food into nutrients.

"But the effects of the transformed object will not disappear even if the Transfiguration spell is lifted." Just like if you conjure up a knife and kill someone, the person will not be resurrected because the knife turns back into a baguette.

and so.

The best way to use Transfiguration in the field of longevity is to use Transfiguration to transform the microscopic world and create a 'manipulation arm' between the human will and body structure like the Blacklight virus, which becomes the key to unlocking the human version of the 'world modulation mode'!

How my cells, my DNA, and the atoms and molecules that make up my body are arranged will be determined by my will!
And because there is no magical interference in the transformation process, only the 'transformation tool' is a magical creation, there is no counter-spell that can counter it.

Once Roger's magic is completely completed.

He can absorb all the advantages of all creatures in the world. No, he doesn't even need to learn from other creatures. He can even design a brain and body structure by himself that is allowed by the rules of the world but impossible to appear under natural conditions!
Break free from the shackles of carbon-based life and become a true ultimate creature!
Of course, Roger is still quite far away from this goal, and even if he is a true ultimate creature, he cannot bear the heavy weight of the word "immortality".

Immortality is not something that can be achieved through Transfiguration alone.

"Oh..." When he actually started the magic experiment, Roger soon encountered his first problem.

"I wish I had been a scientist in my previous life."
