Chapter 186 Above the Kingdom of God
Chapter 186
In the wizard's practice system, every time a realm is broken through, a permanent witchcraft mark will be imprinted in the spiritual realm.
However, this process is not without preparation.
In order to successfully complete the mark shaping, a witchcraft template of the corresponding level must be constructed in advance.
Lynn's promotion seemed rather hasty.
Before heading to the thirteenth plane world, he had never expected that he would be able to break through several levels in such a short time and directly enter the level of a second-level wizard.
Therefore, he did not prepare the corresponding witchcraft template in advance for promotion to the second level.
Fortunately, his mind still retained a lot of knowledge about second-level wizards taught by Maple Tree.
And among those memory fragments, there happened to be several complete sets of second-level witchcraft templates.
To some extent, these templates are more in line with Lynn's path than exploring and searching on his own.
Because of the practice of wizards, countless schools and directions have already been differentiated in the process of development.
Not only are there major categories such as elemental wizards, natural wizards, and mechanical wizards, but even within the same category there are subtle differences.
Taking mechanical wizards as an example, some people pursue the construction of mechanical communities and become "mechanical lords" who command the iron legion; others embark on the path of full-body transformation, pursuing the legendary realm of "flesh and blood are weak, and machines ascend".
As for natural wizards, their core development direction in the future will undoubtedly revolve around the extraordinary plants they breed.
This type of practice must rely on systematic and compatible natural witchcraft support.
However, in the southern regions of the wizarding world, nature witchcraft is, though not entirely uncommon.
But for a young wizard like Lin En who has little background and weak strength, it is almost impossible to obtain truly valuable spell resources from it.
Therefore, even if he had not stepped into the thirteenth plane, he would most likely still carefully select a set of secondary templates that suited him from the knowledge provided by the maple tree.
Among those second-level witchcraft templates, Lin En thought again and again and finally made a decision.
Finally, he chose the second-level natural witchcraft template called "Forest Dome Falling".
As the name suggests, one can more or less guess that this is a high-level spell designed specifically for extraordinary plants such as trees.
If classified from the perspective of functionality, "Senqiong Chuiluo" does not belong to the traditional sense of attack witchcraft, defense witchcraft, or a single type such as escape or recovery.
It is a complex domain witchcraft that is inclusive and covers multiple effects, as if condensing the will of nature into a space.
That’s right, domain witchcraft! This kind of witchcraft can be described as a collection of many abilities.
To put it in a positive way, it covers attack, defense, control, healing and other aspects. It is a model of omnipotence and a true "panacea" technique.
But as the saying goes, “jack of all trades, master of none,” domain witchcraft can hardly escape this fate.
Because it covers all aspects, it often lacks sharpness and perfection, and it is difficult to compete with specialized techniques in some aspects.
Domain witchcraft of the same level is destined to be difficult to match those mastered spells that have been polished to perfection on a single function.
Therefore, domain magic is extremely rare among low-level wizards.
Often only high-level wizards are able to cast and control them.
Only powerful spiritual strength and deep magical foundation are enough to support that kind of domain-based witchcraft.
However, high-level domain witchcraft can often offset the natural disadvantages brought by its "panacea" by crushing the opponent at different levels.
But the "Forest Dome Falling" that Lin En currently possesses is only a second-level domain witchcraft.
Although it is not the lowest-level elementary technique, it is still slightly inferior to those witchcrafts of the same level that focus on one-way enhancement and the pursuit of ultimate destructive power or indestructible defense.
However, this is the best option Lin En can get at this stage.
Among all the knowledge taught by Maple Tree, this set of witchcraft templates best fits Lin En's current practice system and path of natural wizard.
Lin En once secretly complained about this in his heart.
As a high-level being, Maple's breadth of knowledge should be astounding, but there are very few witchcraft templates for second-level wizards.
He couldn't help but wonder if this was related to Feng Shu's background.
Many major forces will sign strict contracts to restrict the leakage of core witchcraft. Even if you are the inheritor, you may not be able to pass on the knowledge.
The fact that the templates Lynn obtained were not as rich as he had expected was probably a byproduct of these limitations.
"Forget it, it's better than having nothing." Lin En murmured softly, his eyes falling on his palm.
He slowly spread out his palms, and as the energy factors circulated, circles of lush green ripples spread out from his body, as if spring was awakening and the earth was warming up.
The size of the domain, if fully expanded, would be about several dozen meters in radius.
In the field, Lin En's mental recovery, the strength of extraordinary plants, etc. will be improved.
"It is indeed a natural witchcraft that is tied to extraordinary plants. The most important thing is my extraordinary plant Ivgrid..."
Lin En's mind moved, and at the limit of the domain, dozens of meters away, a trace of Ivgrid's breath suddenly appeared.
And the next moment, it returned to Lin En's body.
Now, with the blessing of the domain, Ifgrid may be able to barely perform at the level of a second-level wizard.
But you have to know that Lin En's Ivgrid is only at the first level, not the second level...
"As long as Ivgrid's realm is elevated... this natural domain witchcraft still has room for improvement."
Lynn thought to himself,
"Once it breaks through to the second level, my second permanent witchcraft mark may be able to bring out the powerful effect of 'Forest Dome Falling'..."
Thinking of this, Lynn sensed Ifgrid in the spiritual realm.
Just when Lin En finally had the opportunity to summarize the achievements of this breakthrough and feel the relative strength of a second-level wizard.
Deep in the spirit of the blue sky, the maple tree quietly gazes at this completely different world.
This is the outer plane of the gods' civilization, the source of supernatural power, and the sacred realm where the gods build their kingdom.
"Regarding the gods..." Feng Shu spoke slowly, his voice low and thoughtful, "I know a thing or two about them. For us... the current situation is not all bad news."
Before he finished speaking, Lynn had already withdrawn his attention from the spiritual realm and listened attentively to the judgment of this high-level being.
"That 'Demon Net Goddess' should be a supreme god. Her kingdom is as bright as the stars, her faith is widespread, and she has countless followers. I'm afraid it can easily accommodate countless planes like the current one."
"However..." Feng Shu paused, his eyes deep and serious, "From our current perception, this kingdom of God has not yet been fully developed."
"It is still in an almost 'primitive' state of ignorance, as if it has not yet been thoroughly baptized and reshaped by divine power."
"Therefore, I have a guess: this is not the kingdom of the original Goddess of the Demon Net, but the projection of the kingdom of one of her incarnations."
He spoke calmly, but every word made Lynn's heart tremble slightly.
"In other words, the other party has not yet completed the thorough development of the Kingdom of God and does not yet possess the true right to rule the Kingdom of God."
"She is probably not as capable as the gods who truly control divine power, who can change the world and dominate everything with just a thought."
If a true god completely opens up his own kingdom, then their spiritual will can permeate every inch of space in the kingdom and become the Lord of Creation.
With just a thought, the sky can rise, mountains and rivers can appear, the sun and the moon can be created, and the laws of nature can be operated.
All life in the Kingdom of God will instinctively submit to their divine authority.
But right now, this world has obviously not reached that level yet.
If the incarnation of the Goddess of the Demon Net has not yet completely completed the construction of the kingdom of God, then it will be difficult for her to directly lock Lin En with the authority of the Lord God, and she will not be able to completely suppress him with the will of the kingdom of God in the first place.
"oh?"
Hearing this, Lin En's eyes lit up.
If all this is true, then he may still have a chance of survival! "The current plan..." Lin En said to himself in a deep voice, quickly organizing his thoughts.
"We must find other wizards as soon as possible, or contact that alien creature - Qi. He must have a deeper understanding of this world."
The situation was clear, and Lin En knew that he couldn't stay where he was at this moment.
If he hesitated any longer, he would lose his last glimmer of hope once the Demon Net Goddess completely took control of the kingdom of God.
So he made a quick decision: explore the surroundings and look for reinforcements or intelligence.
What a pity.
Perhaps because they have entered the projection of the gods' kingdom, the laws and reality here have become alienated, and the world is filled with interference and isolation forces.
Lin En tried to contact other mechanical wizards through communication items, but found that the weak energy signal fell on deaf ears and there was no response.
Since he couldn't contact his companions, Lin En could only travel alone in this dreamy and strange world.
Under his feet were soft, floating clouds, and around him was a dense sea of clouds that was colorful and extremely gorgeous.
These clouds are no ordinary thing, their colors are rich and saturated to the point of being almost obscene and dazzling.
It was like crushing the gorgeous rainbow light and pouring it between heaven and earth, making people dizzy and even having the illusion of being in a dreamland.
The space here is indescribably huge and empty.
It was as if the rules of time and space had been erased, and there was no longer any direction.
The whole world seemed to be wrapped in endless colorful clouds. There was no end in sight in the distance, and no boundaries between above and below. Only the clouds were flowing slowly, inhaling and exhaling unpredictable rhythms.
In this vast sea of clouds that seemed like a dream, Lin En was alone and as small as a speck of dust.
His figure slowly sank into the thick colors, as if being swallowed by layers of dreamlike clouds, and gradually disappeared from sight, never to be found again.
And if we keep raising our perspective at this moment, and continue to rise into the sky, until we pass through billions of layers of clouds and reach the highest point of this plane of the world.
You will find that this is an independent and closed kingdom of God.
It was so vast that it seemed endless, and the entire world was almost filled with colorful clouds.
The rolling clouds reflected countless strange illusions, like a dream, like a poem or a painting, but also concealed with uneasiness and oppression.
This is not some kind of natural place, but more like a reflection of the gods' dreams.
And in this boundless sea of clouds, even though tens of millions of lives on the battlefield were forcibly sucked here, it still failed to fill up this vast space.
On the contrary, they were like raindrops falling into the sea, and were quickly swallowed up and isolated by this kingdom of God.
This leaves every intruder in God's kingdom almost isolated and helpless.
A very small number of wizards who are lucky enough may accidentally meet other wizards and travel together, thus retaining a glimmer of safety and hope.
But there are more people who are alone, and some even face enemies from the camp of gods as soon as they enter this place.
Those clergymen from the Demon Net Goddess camp obviously have a deeper understanding and control over this unique environment of the kingdom of God.
They were familiar with the terrain, understood the rules, and quickly adapted to the local environment.
As a result, some wizards were hunted down while they were still adapting to the rules and gravity changes here, without even having time to react.
And somewhere in this dreamland, in the center of the sea of clouds, a lonely and dazzling figure was standing quietly in mid-air.
That was a woman.
She was wearing a long dress as black as night, the hem of which floated slightly in the clouds.
Her long hair was like a waterfall, cascading from her shoulders to her waist, her skin was as white as jade, and her face was extremely beautiful, like a jade sculpture carved by a god, transcending the mortal world.
Her eyes were cold and calm, and her pupils reflected the illusions hidden in the clouds, but there was not the slightest emotion.
She is the true ruler of this kingdom of God and the incarnation of the Goddess of the Demonic Net.
Just as Fengshu guessed.
Although she possesses divine nature and the ability to establish a kingdom of God, she is not the true main god, nor has she spent thousands of years perfecting every rule of the kingdom of God.
Therefore, the kingdom of God she summoned was still in a state of infancy and chaos.
Here, there is no complete order and no fixed rules.
The sea of clouds is rolling, space is distorted, the boundaries between emotions and spirit are blurred, and even the speed of time may vary in different areas.
But she didn't care about it.
Because she knew clearly that no matter whether the Kingdom of God was perfect or not, that was the “goal” she was looking for.
That special invader has been brought under the power of this kingdom of God.
She closed her eyes and whispered a mysterious spell, and the clouds around her surged slightly, as if a giant beast was breathing.
She stood at the center of authority in the Kingdom of God, her thoughts extending out like tentacles, slowly and precisely.
She is sensing, locking, and waiting.
"My perception cannot be wrong..."
She whispered to herself, her voice ethereal with a hint of inexplicable throbbing.
"You... have the breath of life and nature in you... How could you die?"
Her brows were slightly furrowed, her beautiful eyes slightly opened, her gaze seemed to penetrate billions of layers of clouds and fall on the trajectory of destiny in the depths of the kingdom of God that had not yet been fully revealed.
"Shantia...are you really dead?"
"My faith was forcibly devoured twice by a godhead that looked like Chantia... Was that you responding to me? Are you calling me? Or..."
An indescribable complexity flashed in her eyes, and hesitation and speculation were intertwined in her thoughts.
It was a possibility she had never imagined.
In the distant main temple, Chauntia, the main god of life and nature, was once a vital existence in the system of gods.
Her death was an indelible shame and a disaster engraved in the history of the Kingdom of God.
In the cross-border war in the past, Shangtia, as the main god, fell on the battlefield where all worlds met, and even his godhood disappeared into the void.
As a result, a seat in the main temple was permanently missing, and the entire civilization of the gods seemed to have lost its eternal oasis and starting point.
But what is more terrifying than this humiliation is that the divinity of Shantia has never appeared in the world.
Gods can die, faith can end, and the kingdom of God can collapse, but as long as the godhead still exists, new gods will one day return to the position of power.
However, the divinity of the Goddess of Life seemed to evaporate and disappeared without a trace from all levels of the world.
There are no successors.
There is no destination.
There is no divine echo.
This means that from that moment on, the entire system of gods lost its supreme dominance over "life" and "nature".
Nature can be further subdivided, barely supported by secondary gods such as forests, storms, animals, plants, and seasons.
But the most fundamental authority, "life", remains vacant to this day.
Even she, the goddess of the magic network; even the main god who controls war and conquest, or the lord of darkness and light; they are all extraordinary beings, holding the concepts of "eternity", "immortality" and "indestructibility".
Their life span is long, almost infinite.
But that is not eternal life.
It is not the "absolute immortality" that Shantia possesses.
In today's system of gods, they can still feel the time flowing slowly and their life passing by every second.
It is so slow that it can be almost ignored, but "perceiving" itself is a weakening.
This is a potential warning to all major gods.
Having lost the divinity of the Goddess of Life, they can still live forever, but they are no longer eternal.
Even if death would come billions of years later, even if they would place the possibility of dying in battle far above dying of old age.
They are no longer complete.
A vague but deep feeling of anxiety and uneasiness had long since spread throughout the depths of the Kingdom of God, becoming a shadow that no god was willing to face.
The goddess of the magic net slowly opened her eyes, the fog in her eyes gradually dissipated, revealing a bit of obsession in her indifference.
"Unfortunately, if it weren't for that mechanical wizard, I would have probably caught the lucky person who obtained the godhood. As long as I can confirm that it is really Shantia..."
"Even if the Lord God himself comes to fight those wizards, it will not hesitate..."
"But now he is in this kingdom of God, I will find him..."
The Demon Net Goddess murmured, emitting a terrifying aura that was truly that of a god.
As this breath suddenly burst out, the entire world seemed to be changing slightly.
As a formal deity, she is qualified to make great changes to this world.
