What's wrong with me, a mage, loving to farm?

Chapter 372. Day One: Eden Ascends into the Stars

Clearly, if he wants to embrace and lead everything, he needs to pay a price—a very heavy one.

Simply put, it's about death or the end.

Even the brightest light has shadows. It carries so much; to build a foundation that can accommodate everything, there must be a counter-face. If we don't choose to forcibly dispel it with the sun's light, then we must bear the consequences of that situation.

The opposite of the sun... the opposite that can bear all laws.

He had to admit that this was indeed something he had never encountered before. Since he began learning magic, he had been learning warm songs, the sun songs that warmed all life.

This opposite is not destruction or death... but a grander law, a reflection of all things, the ultimate destination of everything, which cannot be eternal.

Now he has two choices: First, he can simply abandon this foundation and forge a brand new foundation with the sun and its order. All existence can still rejoice in his music, but it will be subject to the suppression of the order.

The second is to find a reflection that can keep the foundation balanced.

He let out a deep breath.

Looking up at the vast sky and clouds.

"I suffered my first blow before I even reached legendary status."

"I guess I was too greedy..."

"Or is this path so magical that it requires such suppression?"

He wanted to lie back and rest against the luminous algae in the sea.

Simply relying on willpower and mental strength to restrain this enormous law, to break the body's dependence on the "Poem of the Rainbow," and to forge all the laws into "foundations" through the tempering and burning of flames.

Even Kroya gets tired. He's actually a lazy person, otherwise he wouldn't have trained all the apprentices and then become a hands-off manager.

It was at this moment that the Radiant Ring behind his head began to shimmer gently, as if a pair of hands were embracing him from behind, and Miya's voice rang out: "It seems you need me."

"The Ring of Radiance has a subsystem."

The radiant light formed a peculiar, kaleidoscope-like pattern before him, completely different from the sacred radiance of the Ring of Light. This kaleidoscope was filled with magnificent fantasy, and it seemed to belong to a treasure of the highest order...

"Land of Shadows".

"Or I would call it an illusory paradise."

"It is a subsystem that assists me. That kingdom can materialize any imagination through my power; it is a product that exists between reality and fantasy."

The kaleidoscope spun around Chloe, and with each rotation, endless, magnificent, and magical colors expanded within it, like countless flowers surrounding her—it was truly beautiful.

"What impact will it have on you if you remove your own subsystem?" Kroa wanted to look back, but all she could see were slivers of light.

The voice of the Ring of Radiance replied, "Of course not, quite the opposite—the Land of Shadows, or rather, the illusory paradise, is an eternal imprint on the laws of my reality."

I can't reconcile it with reality, and I know clearly that even if I recover completely in the future, I will have to give up some things, so I'm giving it to you.

It is a complete prototype of a world, a template imprinted by the Ring of Radiance. Although it cannot allow you to glimpse the mysteries of the laws, it should easily serve as your dark side to bear and support you.

Upon hearing this, Kroya was at a loss for words, filled with deep gratitude, and even felt a lump in her throat.

This indescribable, wholehearted care truly warmed him, to the point that he almost lost control of his emotions.

But he doesn't think it's a bad thing. If there were more of this kind of care and love, he would still be willing to shed a few tears.

"You've helped me so much."

"teacher."

Miya's voice was tinged with laughter: "Really? That means I did a good job as your guide. You are the most perfect miracle I have ever seen. Even I am willing to be your foil."

"Like... a halo around the sun?"

Kroya couldn't help but laugh: "If our story is written down and becomes a legend, do you think people will stan us? As far as I know, some people are already secretly writing some weird things."

"?"

The Ring of Radiance suddenly sent out a strange message. It did not understand what the word "knock" meant, but decided to find someone to buy a few books to read later.

Kroya didn't bother to explain anything. She picked up the kaleidoscope and plunged it into her chest. With a "plop," blood splattered everywhere.

The intense pain made him feel...pleasure.

"hiss……"

"Phew~~~"

In fact, legendary mages would more or less modify their bodies. For them, the pleasure brought by the combination of the mysteries of magic and the flesh was indescribable, and even had a kind of pleasure close to "truth".

Kroya, however, did not modify his body in this way, because his body was perfect, not only able to accommodate the "Poem of the Rainbow" and his special soul, but also precise and unchangeable.

He had no intention of making changes before, but now he does.

He wants to make the Land of Shadows his "imperfection," just like the opposite of the Sun Foundation, where light and shadow go hand in hand.

So, he had the kaleidoscope embedded in his chest.

The scorching light seemed to have found a place to flow and rest. The disharmony within that radiance was absorbed by the Land of Shadows, and it slowly solidified, becoming a "foundation" that emitted a soft glow.

The kaleidoscope's shadow and the light from the solar basestone blend together seamlessly.

It was as if it were meant to be.

"Everything is ready, so...?"

In that instant, even the sunlight seemed to freeze.

He had already seen it; the legend was right before him, that boundless road, that road leading to the Star Realm, that... endless road.

All the magic that he had spread evenly throughout the entire territory was withdrawn, and the symphony returned from all parts of the earth, surrounding him and forming ripples of light that kept spreading.

The halo rippled like mountains and ocean waves, echoing a tremor of joy wherever it passed. All life that came into contact with it received the gift from Kroa and sang joyfully within it.

The phenomenon lasted for about seven minutes.

Just as the consciousness on the Zemurian continent was being swayed by this power and was about to invite Kroya again, it suddenly stopped.

It was as if nothing had happened.

The boundless and profound magic returned, surging within his body. The power that could easily destroy the world made him feel at ease.

"I've become a legend."

There doesn't seem to be anything special about it.

It should be said that... it was a natural progression?

This is not surprising at all; he was destined to be a legend.

In fact, according to the legends of the mage, the "phenomenon" he created was closer to that of a god, but fortunately, he managed to stop the continent of Zemuria from "recruiting" him in time.

Behind him, the adorable little creatures cheered and jumped for joy, rejoicing for him—not only them, but also all those who had been protected by Kroya, who put down what they were doing and cheered and sang with abandon!

legend!

Their omnipotent lord has been elevated to legend!

"Lord Croa!"

"A legend! Our lord is a legend!"

"Very good!"

Thanks to Kroya's popularization of knowledge, they naturally knew what a legend meant. It meant that Kroya had reached the pinnacle of this world, and even the gods had to bow down to him in respect.

Kroa, however, remained calm.

What's the first thing a legend should do?

He stood up, looked up at the sky, took out the Gopherwood Harp, held it in his arms, gently stroked the strings with his fingers, and casually tossed the Void Moon Tree away.

Eden!

His Eden was just one step away from completing its final evolution.

The reason why Kroya borrowed the Tree of the Illusory Moon was to use its power, along with his own legendary-level transformative magic, to carry out the final transformation of Eden.

Let it become the first singer on the cornerstone of its own legend.

Eden's true form, the radiant rainbow grass, floated silently before him, surrounded by a crystal-like barrier, and was embraced by an angel about half a meter tall who looked exactly like him.

It's like holding the whole world in your arms.

The main structure of Eden today is actually the Eternal Dream City built with the eternal magic of Valhalla, the Reflection City built with the branches of the Tree of the False Moon, and the area of ​​the Water Lily and Golden Apple Paradise created with the power of the god Moses.

As his fingers explored the gopher wood harp, the light of Eden was reshaped once more, and Eden, which should have remained within its dome, became light and flowed toward his sunstone.

One part remained on the Sunstone, while the other part went deep into the Land of Shadows, which was what it needed most. It was born in a dream of Kroa, and the only difference between the dream and reality was the "shadow".

Dreams are beautiful but illusory; all we need to do is fill in the shadows, give it a sense of darkness, and then...

[Rainbow Grass - Miracle Eden is evolving...]

Eden is evolving into a real world.

A powerful, indescribable force suddenly descended, repelling Kroya's body—it was the continent of Zemuria. It sensed that Eden was taking shape, and its instincts drove it to expel Kroya from this world!

Once Eden takes shape, it already outlines the basic structure and laws of the entire Zemurian continent. With the assistance of the powerful Kroa, it may even be able to devour it!

This is something that can no longer be explained or ignored simply by its affection for Kroya. It only has a rudimentary consciousness, and its first reaction after sensing a threat is naturally to drive Kroya out.

Kroya was well aware of its concerns and fears; Eden's potential was simply too outrageous, and the consciousness of the plane absolutely could not allow it to remain here—so he decided…

"Rise into the sky."

"Become a star."

The power of the blue chapter swirls around Eden; it is a special power called "Anchor Point of the Boundless Starry Sky," which can elevate power to the astral plane and transform it into eternally existing stars.

Eden is just right for this.

In the future, he certainly cannot be confined to one world. If he wants Eden to truly connect to multiple worlds, the only way is to make it reach the astral plane.

Surrounded by his power, the rainbow angel, whose face resembled his, embraced Eden, flapping its rainbow-like wings, and slowly rose into the sky. The process was very slow.

It is still a "dream" now. Only when it fully evolves and breaks free from the "eggshell" of the Zemurian continent can it truly transform into a miraculous star, suspended in the astral plane.

"Waaah."

During its flight, Eden kept whimpering like a baby. It was reluctant to leave Kroya's side. It was born from Kroya's dream and everything had to be done with Kroya in mind.

But now it must enter the distant astral realm. Its nascent consciousness mimics the crying of a child, hoping to be summoned by Kroya. If Kroya summons it, it will abandon the opportunity to advance and rush over.

But its kind yet cruel father simply watched silently, playing the Gopher harp, channeling magic, and performing the blue chapter, imprinting the process of lifting it to ascension completely inside the Void Moon Tree.

From fantasy to reality and then to the stars, it is a gradual process, and it is also the key that the treasure of fantasy needs: how to get from fantasy to reality.

Eden felt a pang of disappointment, but before it could succumb to despair, Chloe's voice rang out: "Only when you reach the Astral Plane can we meet forever. I'll be there soon too; I need you!"

With just the words "I need you," Eden became overjoyed, and the angel carrying it to heaven suddenly became it dragging the angel up, at a great speed.

As it ascended, the crystal encasing Eden gradually shattered, surrounded and supported by azure starlight. It quickly detached itself from this world, the crystal completely crumbled, and the dimensional barrier could no longer protect it.

It entered a special star field where only stars could exist.

Suddenly, a cheerful little planet, radiating a dreamlike iridescent glow, appeared in that desolate starry sky. Without Kroya saying a word, it proactively projected a beam of light down.

The clouds were all dispersed by the beam of light. Kroya looked up and saw the Astral Plane and his own little Eden right before his eyes. He could see everything inside: laughter and joy, as well as the spirits and people.

It was domineering, allowing only Kroa to look at it—or perhaps it was also somewhat lonely, yearning for Kroa to cast her gaze upon it, even from a distance as far as the mortal world and the astral plane.

Miracle Eden has successfully evolved.

[In the astral plane, it can project its own world power, and Kroya can call upon its support anytime, anywhere—this is a rule set just for you, Father.]

Kroya smiled with satisfaction.

This was his first imprint of the law. On his Sunstone and Shadow Kingdom, he left behind the law of Eden, which should perhaps be called the "world law".

But Chloe felt it should still be called that...

"Eden's Law".

Starlight burst into beautiful fireworks around him, and surrounded by the fireworks, he picked up the tree and walked towards the deep sea.

Next up is the second law.
