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

Chapter 374. Day Three: The Garden Behind the Cube

Miya watched as Kroya walked toward Him, and for some reason, she suddenly let out a deep sigh. It was a sigh of satisfaction, as if it were an instinct, but as a man-made soul, He shouldn't have had such an instinct.

It's just... there's something strange about Kroya carrying that tree on his back.

Even the Supreme Treasure's computing module took a few seconds to realize that it was the Azure Tree, the auxiliary unit of the Void God.

At that moment, Kroya, beaming, slammed the Azure Tree to the ground and exclaimed joyfully, "He promised to help me! He can now dispel the mystery that has been shrouding you, Master!"

After reaching the legendary stage, he broke free from some constraints, becoming even more radiant, truly shining like the sun, making people want to get close without burning their eyes.

"..."

The Ring of Radiance paused for a few seconds, then said helplessly, "You're already a legend, how come you're even more childish than before?"

Kroya replied, "I've worked so hard to develop my power and increase my strength so that I could live freely and happily for many years to come, and now I've finally achieved my first goal."

"And what's your second goal?" asked Shining Ring curiously.

"Let's find all seven treasures."

"You absolutely must be there then, that's my wish."

"..."

Even the Ring of Radiance was speechless. Although becoming a Legendary was so easy for Kroya, it was still the lifelong pursuit of countless people. But the second one was even more ruthless, aiming to find all seven treasures!

He had never seen the Seven Treasures reunited!

Looking at Mia's helpless expression, Kroya felt a little calmer. Through the Celestial Spirit Imprint Technique, he could see the internal structure of Mia's body... the divinity woven from the treasure and the World Tree fruit.

It has become somewhat unstable.

Before reaching the legendary level, what he saw wasn't as clear, but now he can see it more clearly. It seems that because He hasn't responded to the wishes of more people for a long time, the basic logic has gone wrong.

Compared to the newly created Mythical Treasure, the Ring of Radiance obviously has more limitations. For example, fulfilling wishes is its instinct, just like a person needs to breathe.

He didn't know what the connection was between "fulfilling wishes" and immortal divinity, but it was certain that Mia existed through the connection of these magical runes, and that they were even the foundation of her existence.

The illusory god had already warned him.

He's at a loss now; he has no way to deal with this situation. All he can do is try to make empty promises to maintain the existence of the Ring of Light and then try to find a solution.

He knew he couldn't tell Miya this directly. If he did, and His self-checking process couldn't fix it, it would be a dead end.

In a sense, a supreme being like Him is far less capable of regulation than humans.

The Ring of Radiance was unaware of its current problem. It simply nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll wait until you've collected all the treasures."

I'd be happy to hand the garden over to you now; perhaps that will speed things up.

He transformed from human form into the form of a ring of light, on the surface of which was a thin, hazy, moonlit mist that covered an area that was still shimmering.

That is the only remaining part of the Ark, which is located in the core area of ​​the Ark.

Each magical plant inside is an extremely special item.

Miya's voice came through:

"After I crashed, many legends and gods wanted to enter this world to find me. Although my storage system had collapsed, what remained was enough to drive them crazy."

Therefore, I had to abandon more systems, leaving only the basic knowledge of building the Ark, some information that could be stored and passed on, and most importantly, the Garden, and ask the slumbering gods for help.

He responded to me, using his power of imagination to transform me into a legend, a legend that circulated among the seas of Atlantis and the mermaids, successfully hiding me within the legends, undiscovered.

Miya's voice carried a sense of reminiscence, and perhaps a well-hidden fear: "Legends are illusions, they don't exist, so my existence is very unstable. I am the Ring of Light that answers wishes, not a miracle that exists in legends but cannot be found."

"This is a heavy price to pay. If it weren't for your arrival, that divine music that awakened me and later helped the merfolk attract the attention of the Void God, I might have remained asleep forever and truly become a legend."

"so……"

The radiance of the Ring of Radiance suddenly shone brightly, carrying an awe-inspiring divinity. The platinum light and ring-shaped phantoms divided the surrounding space into layer upon layer, each layer enough to trap gods and legends in an endless cycle until they perish.

The endless rings surrounding the single, ancient circular body are like countless divine kingdoms surrounding the Creator.

This is its power. Reality, in a sense, represents space. The reason why gods can reside high in the sky is actually due to the different dimensions of the plane, which can also be considered as their power.

To compensate for the invasion of the continent of Zemuria by so many legends and gods, He shared some of His power, allowing the world's consciousness to forge a divine kingdom.

"bring it on."

"If you want to access the mist, you must access my core."

"The last one to touch my core was Sage Miya."

Kroya readily accepted, grabbing onto a large tree with one hand, and then jumped directly into the infinitely looping structure of the Ring of Light. At that moment, the concept of space became blurred, and all he could see were rings upon rings.

Without a doubt, this is the law of space, the most powerful law that the Ring of Radiance wanted to teach him—time and space are the foundation of the material world.

This was a truly rare experience; there would never be another opportunity to learn about the laws of space through such a treasure. Therefore, he cherished it greatly, releasing all his spiritual power to explore everything here like roots.

He didn't spare even a sliver of mental energy to protect himself, because he was certain the Ring of Radiance wouldn't harm him. In a sense, it was even more precious than the laws of this place; in such an unfamiliar world, there was a place where he could completely relax without pretense or defense.

"A world of endless loops..."

"The fundamental laws of space..."

When Kroya was learning the laws of space this time, he perceived a lot of things, and they were at both ends of space—one side was reality, and the other side was a world similar to the Land of Shadows.

The difference between the Prime Material Plane and the Kingdom of God.

In mythology, the divine kingdoms of each deity are at different heights, which actually contain the essence of space. The stronger the life form, the higher the spatial dimension it needs.

This is knowledge he must learn and understand, because the layered spatial structure inside the Ark has this characteristic, with the power of rings distinguishing between races and between gods.

Time seemed less noticeable at this moment, as he was immersed in the formation of spatial laws, even attempting to create a small "space" in his own Sun Foundation and Shadow Kingdom.

Those were two very small spaces, no bigger than a little finger, yet he created them without using any materials, solely through his understanding of the laws of space.

Using laws to influence the composition of space is itself quite incredible, but it is much more difficult and complex than creating a space using void ore and power.

He happily placed the two small spaces in a prominent position on the cornerstone and continued exploring.

The powerful computing capabilities of the Ring of Radiance helped him a lot. He explored deeper and deeper, layer by layer, gradually approaching the layer where the Ark Garden was located, and saw the true structure of the Moonlit Mist.

One square after another.

The blocks, shifting between silver and azure, lay before Kroa like bricks forming a city wall, shimmering and dreamlike, their length impossible to discern, seemingly endless.

"Um?"

"A cube?"

He was actually a little confused. The Ring of Radiance was a ring-shaped structure, while the power of the illusory god was a cube? Well... it felt kind of cool?

To be honest, these neat blocks look really nice, reminding him of some games he used to play where blocks were used as materials, and everything was made of blocks, even air and lava.

The Azure Tree sensed the presence of these blocks and conveyed a message—go and dismantle them!

A wondrous power instantly enveloped Kroya's body, forming a shimmering silver flame that rippled in concentric circles.

He immediately understood that he needed to move and dismantle the structure piece by piece himself! And only by going in person could he ensure success, because he himself was now part of the legend.

Just like those brave warriors who finally find treasure somewhere after going through countless hardships, the hardships are equivalent to the process of dismantling the blocks, and the treasure is naturally the garden inside.

"Let's do it then."

He found it quite novel and went forward to start moving the blocks.

As soon as he started working on it, he realized that each of the blocks carried the power of laws, weighing a ton, making it extremely difficult for him to move.

Fortunately, as a farming-oriented mage, he did a lot of farm work in his spare time, and even when he was just cultivating his mind, he never stopped exercising his body.

Thus, a bizarre scene unfolded within the Ring of Radiance—an elegant mage, surrounded by moonlight, was laboriously carrying a silver cube larger than himself.

The space inside the Ring of Radiance has no concept of time, and these blocks mainly test mental strength and endurance. As a legendary character, Kroya is quite endurance-wise.

One day, one week, one month, one year...

Once the hourglass he placed next to him is full, it will automatically turn upside down and start counting again, and the scale next to it will also increase by one, which gradually increases over time.

Finally, after about a thousand days, Kroya had moved all the blocks. The moonlit mist in front of him had long since dissipated, and what appeared before him was a beautiful garden divided into seven areas, filled with exotic flowers and rare plants.

He stood at the entrance of the garden, not tired at all, but full of energy. When he was moving those blocks, he inevitably came into contact with some of the laws of the illusory gods.

That's the law of legend and fantasy—

By transforming the power of the illusory gods into blocks and forging them into high walls, the things inside can become legends. The more powerful the legends, the wider they will spread, and the more widespread they will become, the more solid they will be.

This is a terrifying power. When the illusory gods existed, it was used to punish those gods and exploit their power. The gods' logic of faith was that the more people knew about it and the more people believed in it, the more power they would have.

However, the more widely this is spread, the stronger its ability to suppress becomes. The merfolk once used this method to imprison several demon gods, promoting their greatness while secretly exploiting their ever-increasing magical power to turn them into "batteries".

It is worth mentioning that Eurydice's paper seems to have referenced the diary written by a legendary merman, which is his current project to turn gods into crystal pillars.

After sorting through all this information, Kroya's expression gradually became distorted. He felt that he had found another good method, and this method seemed to be able to not only imprison and exploit the gods, but also cultivate something special.

So he collected all the blocks and stepped into the garden. The first thing that appeared before him was two huge oak trees, which blocked out the sky, and every leaf was engraved with the marks of time.

An aged human face appeared on the tree trunk, but the voice was elegant:

Welcome.

"sun."

The words of the two oak trees seem to be connected.

"You have obtained the Ring of Ark Radiance..."

"And the approval of Sage Miya."

"The Ark Garden will be open to you!" They said this together.

Light appeared before Kroya along with their voices, and oak leaves, etched with the marks of time, fell one after another. An invisible wind swept the leaves, swirling around Kroya.

Deep within those leaves, there seemed to be faint, mysterious patterns appearing and disappearing—

【Ark Oak Leaf (Sky Summoning Spell)】

[After obtaining this magical plant, you can summon any magical plant inside the Ark Garden at any time using its leaves.]

[Please note: The magical plants in the Ark Garden have become one with the remaining essence of the Ark. If you need to summon magical plants regularly, please replenish the Ark's energy in a timely manner.]

Just after he finished reading the descriptions of the magic patterns on the leaves and the Astral Body Imprint Technique, the surrounding layers of space seemed to flow backward like a tide.

He returned to the bottom of the lake.

Now standing in front of Miya, he looked down and saw a delicate, leaf-shaped, emerald-green earring resting quietly in his palm.

It was so exquisite, like a work of art painstakingly sculpted by a master, and it exuded a powerful magic.

This is the summoning medium for all the magical plants in the Ark Garden. With it, Kroya already possesses the entire Ark Garden.
