Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 649 Pseudo-Second Ring! The Complete Formation of the Mirror Moon System!
Locke and the other three exchanged glances.

Locke pondered, "In the Age of Stars, a first-class wizard apprentice could live for four hundred years, and a full-fledged wizard could live for a thousand years? That's twice the lifespan of wizards in our time."

"Could it be that ancient sorcerers could live longer?"

Warwick, McKinley, and Shirley all looked on in astonishment.

Clearly, this archaeological discovery greatly surprised them.

These discoveries are all incredibly groundbreaking; I wonder how many Q1 journal articles they could generate.

Warwick the wizard was getting excited. "This is something that has never been discovered before!"

"Coming to the ruins this time was definitely the right decision. Although there were quite a few unexpected events, we were very successful..."

"Wizards before the Age of Stars lived at least twice as long as wizards in later generations! It's just unknown in which era the lifespan of wizards was drastically reduced, and what exactly happened to cause this."

"us……"

Under the setting sun, Otto seemed lost in thought as he turned to look at the spot where Locke and the others were standing.

He hesitated.

But the next moment, a dark sun appeared in the sky.

In that instant, it was as if some kind of power was stimulated within Locke's body, and golden vertical pupils appeared in his eyes, while the entire space trembled.

An invisible voice appeared, as if it were some kind of pronouncement.

Otto Heliotos, you have failed. Of the four great problems, you have solved only one. All your merits and achievements, all your sins and failures, are hereby erased from history.

[Unless time can be rewritten and the past can be retrieved; unless the name of a wizard makes demons weep and devils tremble; unless wizards ascend to become demons and create countless magical kingdoms, there will be no record of you in the entire history of civilization.]

The prophecy of the Tower of the Black Sun is the truth; it will become eternal here.

The Age of Stars will continue until the historical answer to end this cycle is found.

As the voice appeared, four books of sect masters emerged in the void, and at the same time, the entire world turned into darkness, like a solar eclipse.

A mournful woman's voice pierced the sky. "No. How can time be turned back, how can the past be reshaped! Demons and monsters number in the billions, cruel by nature, how could they possibly tremble at the mere mention of a wizard's name? To exorcise a single city is to defy the laws of nature, how then can one exorcise countless magical kingdoms!"

“Even at the end of time, at the edge of the universe, these things cannot happen. You not only killed my husband, you also sentenced him to an eternal death sentence!”

"Tower of the Black Sun, you are too cruel. Tower of the Black Sun, you are unjust. Tower of the Black Sun, answer me! Tower of the Black Sun, where are your prophecies? Where is your order? The Age of Stars has problems, everyone knows that, and my husband just wants to solve them!"

The young wizard's voice reached Locke's ears. "The curse of exile from the Tower of the Black Sun has invaded this place. Oh no, the prophetic magic of the Tower of the Black Sun is too powerful."

"In the end, this still happened. Locke, be careful, the exoneration curse will sweep you out... The wizards who entered this space with you before, apart from the four of you, have all been turned into fertilizer in the Magic Kingdom's territory, or escaped using special spells."

"Locke, I owe you a favor. Please keep reading, at least until you finish reading what the princess wants to tell you... Please help the princess achieve final victory."

The next moment, the dark sun in this space burst forth with a blazing corona.

The sun was dim, but the temperature was so high that in an instant, scorching flames enveloped the four of them.

In the blink of an eye, Wizard McKinley's Book of Sovereigns was forcibly removed and disappeared from this space.

Instantly, a quarter of this space collapsed.

Warwick, the werewolf of the abyss, tried to open the Eye of Wisdom on his forehead, but he didn't expect that the abyssal energy within him would become the greatest danger.

The abyssal energy within him was completely ignited the moment it touched the light of the dark sun.

Warwick screamed. "Locke, I'm sorry. This is my limit. I have to leave."

"You can only rely on yourselves now."

The next moment, a book about sect leaders disappeared.

In this space where history is recreated, only two books of the sect leader remain.

Most of the space began to collapse.

Locke frowned; at that moment, he also felt a tremendous, intense heat enveloping him.

Although his own Mist power lasted the longest, this place lacked nature and earth, making it impossible to use life to rebuild an infinite cycle of energy. Therefore, he did not possess infinite magical power.

Sooner or later, the power of Mister will be burned through by that dark sun.

Locke also realized that as time went on, the temperature in the entire space would rise higher and higher, and if he didn't do something, he wouldn't even last five minutes.

It was just a few minutes longer than McKinley and Warwick.

'My two permanent defensive force fields have both been suppressed.' Locke summoned the Abyss Devourer Sea Gold Sand, which transformed into the Golden Fern Spear, but it was still no match for such an all-around attack.

'The only way is through the rudimentary form of ultimate magic.' Locke's mind raced, quickly searching for a solution, ultimately concluding that his approach was closest to ultimate magic: the growth of the Porcelain Moon. 'Otherwise, I'll be forced to leave immediately.'

He summoned a moon, which rose into the sky and rapidly absorbed the heat of the dark sun.

Soon, Locke saw cracks appearing on the surface of his porcelain moon.

Clearly, even if the porcelain moon can reflect the light of the dark sun, there is a limit to how much it can withstand.

The large amount of energy converted from high temperature accumulated on the surface of its porcelain moon, causing countless cracks to appear on the surface of the porcelain moon, as if the Cancerian porcelain would explode at any moment.

The young wizard's voice came to Locke's ears. "Locke, to maintain the Historical Boundary Marker Charm, I need at least two Sovereign Books. Locke, I owe you a favor. Please find a way to stay here. If it's you, I believe you'll definitely have a way."

"Locke!"

Locke gritted his teeth. "Grandmaster, even without you saying so, I want to continue exploring. What wizard can resist the temptation of truth, can refuse to see the truth? Whether the actions of the Black Sun Tower are right or wrong, they are irrelevant to me, but they cannot prevent me from seeing the truth of the past. As an archaeological wizard, as a non-wizard, as a botanical wizard, I absolutely disagree with this approach."

Locke looked into the dark space. 'This place should still be in a historical reenactment. If it is, then the kingdom of Heliotos still exists here.'

'The kingdom requires the unification of three elements: the spiritual energy of the earth's ley lines, the public's understanding, and the magical tides within the kingdom. This is the true reason for the founding of the Age of Stars... a result of the special celestial phenomena of the era of the dual movement of the sun and moon.'

Locke's pupils turned into golden vertical pupils, and a crazy idea flashed through his mind.

At this moment, the kingdom's territory still exists here, the dark sun has already appeared, and he holds the moon in his hands?
The sky was completely dark.

Then he would use his own magic to replace the moon, and let the moonlight illuminate the entire territory of the Kingdom of Heliotos in the reenactment of history.

Use your own magic to replace that moon in history!
Why not?

The next moment, all the energy accumulated by the growth of the porcelain moon was scattered across the earth.

In an instant, the once dark world was filled with light once more.

The sky and the earth reappear.

On the same land, two spaces appeared: one was Heliotus's realm, and the other was Heliotus's land.

Locke, by taking advantage of the kingdom's domain in this era, forcibly brought an unfinished Great Magic spell to a temporary state where it could reach the level of Great Magic.

At this moment, Locke's spirituality merged with the full moon.

Locke realized that the moon was spiritually united with him, but it was not stable; there was no buffer between himself, the moon, and all things.

Moreover, my connection with the Porcelain Moon isn't actually that strong.

Indeed, this is one's own magic, but the connection between one's own magic and oneself is not as strong as the connection between oneself and one's own soul.

Moreover, inside the Porcelain Moon is a natal shamanic porcelain that was not created by oneself. This thing is like an alien object, further preventing oneself from becoming one with its spirit.

But this is easy to solve.

The situation is critical; even if it has to be pieced together, we must stabilize this magic completely.

Otherwise, he would be immediately kicked out of this space.

Locke used the Peach Arch Thorn Arrow to summon the Golden Palace Remnant Branch. One of the Golden Palace Remnant Branches fell to the top of the Porcelain Moon, and then the roots wrapped around the Porcelain Moon, with branches intertwining.

The golden leaves of the Golden Palace Remains Branch, once vibrant with gold, are now tinged with the cool moonlight, turning into a bluish-gold hue.

The Golden Branch has a distributed psionic network connection with me, a connection through magical grafting, and it has also joined my forest sanctuary, becoming part of my forest.

In addition, the Porcelain Moon is her own magic.

These four connections, when combined, although not yet reaching the level of ultimate magic, are incredibly close to the strength of the connection between oneself and one's soul.

Locke then realized that his hastily cobbled-together magic had taken complete shape.

One's own spirituality and the spirituality of this magic have temporarily reached a point of unity.

With the help of the kingdom's domain in this magical kingdom, this moon transformed into the eternally unchanging moon hanging above the Milky Way, refracting all moonlight onto the world.

Under the moonlight, all the plants in the world thrived, growing and multiplying, with grasses and trees constantly growing.

Because it's a botanical spell, its effects on animals are not as strong as its effects on plants. Just as the Dark Sun's temperature is incredibly high, so too is the Moon's light and gravity incredibly powerful.

At this moment, Locke felt his magical pressure faintly appearing as if it had crossed the final shackle, and then his magical pressure surged past 9999, reaching 10000.

Locke's eyes were strange. "That's right. The Kingdom Domain itself is a second-circle level magic. Now, by using the Kingdom Domain to complete this pseudo-ultimate magic, I have essentially completed an ultimate magic. Although I only managed to break through the second limit by borrowing the accumulated power of the Kingdom Domain over countless years."

"But in any case, I have indeed broken through my limits at this moment!"

Locke stood with his hands behind his back, feeling quite pleased with himself. At this moment, with the amplification from the Kingdom's domain, his magic pressure had reached the second ring level.

I received a second-ring experience card.

I can feel a kind of illusion that when the time is right, heaven and earth are all in harmony with me, and all things seem to be working together with me.

Locke looked at the dark sun before him, stretched out his right hand and palm, and as the moon continued to rise into the sky, the dark sun also rose higher, stabilizing the two important celestial ladders of this world.

"The sun and moon move in tandem, the dark sun hangs in the sky, and the bright moon shines everywhere."

"This is the Mirror Moon. The moon is like a magic mirror, reflecting all kinds of energy sources in this world and illuminating and reflecting them onto the world."

Locke said, "This is the result of my long-term development of lunar magic. Coming to this same world, but at different times, and observing the moon's trajectory for six months, I finally realized that the moon in one world can transcend space and time, maintaining its unchanging course."

"Therefore, the biological clock inside plants and animals can be calculated using lunar time. The moon is the easiest and lowest-cost way of keeping time in the natural world."

"Therefore, the time of the moon is the time of farming, the time when all things multiply and plants sprout. The moon, like a bright mirror hanging high in the sky, faithfully reflects everything. This is the prototype of my great magic—the Moon Magic Mirror."

"The moon has become the largest magic mirror in the sky, reflecting my power to the world, and also reflecting other energies to the world."

"At the same time, the world transmits power to the moon. The magical plants have gained order, seasons, and life because of the moon."

Locke looked down at the ground. “But this system still needs a three-tiered structure. However, maintaining the Historical Boundary Marker Spell requires at least two Sect Master's Books. As for Senior Sister…”

Locke was somewhat worried about the witch Shirley, but then he saw her 'tsk' and chant incantations, with eight archangels surrounding her.

The eight archangels represent the eight virtues of wizarding civilization in the modern magical age.

Under the protection of these eight archangels, the impact of the dark sun was actually resisted.

This is a first-circle Holy Mage's most powerful defensive spell: [Guardian of the Eight Archangels].

At the same time, not all holy masters can learn it.

This spell is the Shallie Witch's Permanent Defensive Field.

She is an extremely talented holy priestess!

This spell model can summon the power of faith in the eight virtues within the Holy Master's Kingdom, while simultaneously transferring the opponent's magical attacks to the Holy Master's Kingdom.

In theory, attacks that don't reach the second-ring level can generally be redirected.

Of course, if the holy priest using this magic lacks sufficient faith, the spell will fail.

This is an extremely demanding defensive spell. If you have even the slightest distracting thought while casting the spell, you will immediately be attacked by the spell!
The witch Shirley's eyes were filled with disdain. "That's why I hate all this talk about kings and heavens. Heaven is dead; this is the age of money. How can you make money by doing all this empty stuff?"

"The time these people have wasted is enough for us to upgrade our assets several times over. Whether it's the Black Sun Tower, the Nameless King, or the Lich King, they are all doing things that devalue their own assets."

The witch Shirley gritted her teeth and said, "Especially that lich, a dead man with no consumption needs. If he were to take control of the world, wouldn't the stock market's turnover evaporate immediately?"

Everything about this era displeases me so much!

The witch Shirley noticed that the dark sun was rising higher and higher, and the scorching heat had receded, so there was a light source in the space again.

The witch Shirley looked up at Locke, a hint of surprise in her eyes, her pupils suddenly shrinking. "This magical pressure… Junior Brother, you…"

"Your magic pressure has exceeded 9999?"

"how did you do that?"

Locke pointed to the bright moon in the sky. "Before entering this space, I had already observed the movement of the sun and moon for six months in this era. Now it seems that it was my most correct wish."

"That wish helped me so much. If I had wished differently, I probably wouldn't have achieved such a significant improvement."

The witch Shirley looked up at the moon. "That was your magic."

"I thought it was the real moon."

"I see. Your magic has replaced a celestial body in this space."

Locke laughed and said, "It was mainly due to a clever trick. I was able to use the kingdom's territory in this era to quickly bypass a large amount of accumulation and complete this seemingly great magic in this era. But it is not actually a great magic."

"This is just a trial card. But even if it's just a trial card, I can take this opportunity to try something out."

The Great Blue-leaf Dragon Sparrow behind Locke flapped its wings, propelling him into the sky before he looked down at the earth.

In mid-air, he transformed into five thousand acres of forest within the Forest Sanctuary, while simultaneously rapidly taking control of many ordinary forests in this world.

He wanted to do something while he still had the trial card. Something that only a second-ring wizard could do.

After Locke broke through the limit of magical pressure, he felt as if his soul had transformed into the bright moon in the sky. His understanding of magic also rose rapidly as the essence of his soul improved.

In an instant, he took advantage of this state of being one with the moon and man to understand many details that he had never understood before, and at the same time, he discovered many details that he had never discovered before.

Especially with the Forest Alliance Spell.

“The witch Lana said that ecological corridors can only be established if they rely on a material basis. The exchange between forests must be based on material exchange, so there must be some plant connections between different forests.”

"On that day, I thought that there might be some intangible way to connect, but she immediately refuted it and led me down a path that could not yield any results."

Locke pondered, “But now that I have the moon, it’s different. What is the moon? The idea behind my Moon Mirror is to reflect all things and reflect the light of a third party.”

"It has become a connecting element among the demonic plants."

"And this connection will be the foundation of my future great magic." Locke, in his second-circle wizard state, continued to refine his great magic.

His own immense magic was never actually capable of being completed, but by borrowing the magic kingdom of this era, he was able to deduce the process from the result.

Locke blinked his right eye, and at that moment, a ray of moonlight fell down from the 30,000-acre demiplane within his right eye, while more moonlight fell upon the forests of this world.

'I can use my Moon Mirror as a transit point to connect the entire world, forming an ecological corridor with moonlight!'

'Complete the Forest Alliance Spell!'

'If successful, my control over the lower forests under the Forest Alliance will also be enhanced.'

Locke suddenly had more ideas about his immense magic. "My moon can serve as a second moon for those forests, providing the seasons for all things and reflecting their light."

"It can enhance the prosperity of those forests, and of course, it can also serve as an ecological corridor to complete the Forest Alliance Spell."

Within Locke's sea of ​​consciousness, a spell model of the Forest Alliance Spell appeared. At the same time, he chanted the incantation, and forests composed of mortal plants and low-level magical plants, bathed in his moonlight, were forcibly pulled into the Forest Alliance Spell.

At this moment, the magical pressure within his own forest sanctuary continued to rise.

It reached an exaggerated level.

"It's done." Locke quickly spent some time working backward from the result, modifying the spell model bit by bit the parts that affected the effect of the Forest Alliance Spell.

“Mirrors are objects of reflection and connection. With the moon as a magic mirror, one can reflect and connect all things. My Moon Magic Mirror can become the core of my Forest Alliance Spell and Ecological Corridor.”

"Therefore, once I truly complete the Great Magic, I will have essentially completed the Forest Alliance Spell."

"Of course, there are still a few problems that haven't been solved yet." Locke realized that his current state was just a state of extreme mimicry magic.

Fortunately, that's the case.

Because, at this moment, his immense magical power is fraught with problems.

Once a wizard has completed their ultimate spell, they can only modify it based on the existing one.

Therefore, it is absolutely fortunate that I can conjure up a massive magic spell at this moment.

At this moment, the problem with his immense magic lies in the fact that, firstly, there is an alien object within the core of this moon—that witch porcelain.

Secondly, the connection between this moon and myself is still too weak; even with all four connections combined, it's not enough.

Third, this moon still lacks a three-level structure, so redundant structures need to be added.

Fourth, there's still the problem of offensive magic. This problem remains unresolved.

However, by incorporating the Peach Bow and Thorn Arrow into it and making it a part of it, he seemed to offer a glimmer of hope in solving this problem.

However, the immense magic he had hastily cobbled together at this moment was rather ordinary.

If this is truly one of my most powerful magic abilities, then my future prospects are limited.
