Chapter 137: The Trace of the Goddess of Magic
The Goddess of Magic is one of the greatest upheavals during the Saint’s Cataclysm.
It can be said that it was precisely because of her fall that the Saint’s Cataclysm caused such terrifying destruction. The impact of the collapse of the Magic Network was too far-reaching, and it continued to affect the entire Multiverse until the end of the Saint’s Cataclysm. Therefore, from Soren’s perspective, the sudden appearance of the Goddess of Magic this time, regardless of the circumstances, required his attention. Whether or not it could change the future is another matter, but at the very least, he needed to assess the potential direction of the future from this incident!
In the near future, the d*ath of tens of millions of people will be related to the Goddess of Magic.
At the crucial moment when the planar barriers shattered and the Demon Legion and the Devil Legion descended upon the Material Plane, the Goddess of Magic suddenly fell. The collapse of the Magic Network caused spellcasters to instantly transform into weaklings. Not only were wizards suddenly cast into hell, but priests also fell into an embarrassing situation where, due to the collapse of the faith network of the Magic Network above the ninth layer, the gods could not temporarily access the higher tiers of the Magic Network to grant divine techniques, leaving them to only engage in melee combat. Under such circumstances, the only ones left to confront the demons and devils on the front lines were those melee professionists.
Many heroic figures appeared at that time.
Numerous warriors’ names were recited by people, but ultimately they still could not change the overall situation. It was impossible for mere melee professionists to stop the demon army!
Without the assistance of spellcasters, they couldn’t even close the Abyssal Portals.
How many legendary-level warriors ended up killing thousands of demons only to be worn down by the demons pouring out of the portals?
Although the Material Plane is quite weak, most cities at least have one legendary professionist stationed.
Especially in the Northern Witch’s Tower and the Southern Wizard City, there were many legendary spellcasters. If not for the sudden collapse of the Magic Network, the Material Plane wouldn’t have suffered so many wounds at once.
…………..
The howling winds accompanied by dust swirled around as Soren perceived everything around him.
“It seems the Goddess of Magic really appeared here!”
This place is near the eastern desert. It is the source of the intelligence. Just a day before the new year, a remarkably astonishing mana storm suddenly formed here. The only two who could do this in the entire Material Plane were the Lady of the Night, who created the Shadow Magic Network, and the Goddess of Magic. Even though three days have passed, there are still active elemental energies lingering here. This place has permanently transformed into a [Magic Active Zone].
Since there are [Dead Magic Zones], naturally there are also places very suitable for casting spells.
“The Goddess of Magic should have appeared here, but where will she go next?”
Soren stood still, lost in thought. He could sense that there were others nearby, but he did not pay them any attention; the appearance of the Goddess of Magic attracted too much attention, and everyone was searching for the trace of this goddess.
At this moment, Soren looked like a high-ranking wizard.
There was not a trace of a wanderer’s attire about him. Soren now appeared as a purebred wizard, and there were several people nearby who looked similar to him. For those wizards who had not yet stepped into the legendary domain, simply pleasing the Goddess of Magic might allow them to be directly promoted to legendary wizards.
There’s no way around it.
The Goddess of Magic is that powerful, cultivating a legendary wizard is something she can accomplish in an instant.
“I can only rely on the [Tracking] divine profession.”
The Goddess of Magic is also referred to as the Mysterious Lady. Soren was unable to find any clues after a complete scan. In the end, all he could do was hope to find her through the [Tracking] divine profession.
There are traces left by her here, and the [Tracking] divine profession can provide Soren with leads.
“I found it!”
Soren stood still for a long time. When he suddenly opened his eyes, a faint divine light appeared in his pupils, followed by a complete disappearance.
He quickly left in one direction and vanished in the blink of an eye.
Nearby people did not find it strange. Since the Goddess of Magic had appeared here, spellcasters have been showing up daily, lingering for a while, and then leaving in a certain direction based on divination or their intuition, attempting to find the Goddess of Magic who had fallen to the mortal realm. However, it is a bit strange; no one knows what the reason is, but every spellcaster that cast divination here seemed to make some discoveries, though whether it was true or not was unknown.
He had been gone for three days.
Strictly speaking, Soren truly had no clues regarding the whereabouts of the Goddess of Magic. The direction given to him was solely due to the power of the [Tracking] divine profession. He himself was unsure if the [Tracking] divine profession could find the Goddess of Magic, but having come this far, he could only trust that the divine profession’s power would not disappoint him.
For a deity with such strong divine power, it is very difficult for others to find traces she wishes to conceal.
Nightfall.
After walking continuously to the northwest for three days, Soren suddenly lost the sense brought by the [Tracking] divine profession.
There are only two reasons for this situation!
One is that he completely lost track of the Goddess of Magic, even the [Tracking] divine profession could not find any trace of her.
The other is that the Goddess of Magic is nearby.
The divine nature and divine profession of the other party blocked Soren’s effects because the Mysterious Lady possesses several special domains, causing the [Tracking] divine profession to likely become ineffective when very close to her.
Naturally, Soren hoped that the Goddess of Magic was nearby!
So he stopped and carefully searched nearby. This was a forest close to the northwest, not far from the Misty Forest, and Soren vaguely had some impression, as if he had heard of this place.
Generally speaking.
The places Soren remembers are all treasure-laden, due to the traits of the wanderer profession.
“Who?!”
Suddenly, a vigilant voice echoed, and Soren then realized that he had triggered a warning spell, and the one casting had clearly much higher abilities than he.
“I mean no harm!”
Soren quickly stepped out of the shadows, as he had already seen the missile storm coalescing in the other’s palm, and explained, “I am a wizard from the South—Sony, just passing through here.”
“I would like to know who you are?”
Hearing Soren’s words, the wizard ahead noticeably relaxed slightly, but still did not completely dispel his hostility and slowly replied, “I am Ildis from the Wizard City.”
“What are you doing here?”
…………..
Ildis?!
When Soren heard this name, he couldn’t help but shudder.
Because he actually encountered a future renowned figure, who will become one of the most powerful wizards in the Material Plane!
Of course.
This future most powerful wizard does not have many glorious achievements; although Soren had heard of his strength, he had not heard of him defeating any overwhelmingly powerful enemy. However, this guy is quite lucky, having lived safely until the end of the Saint’s Cataclysm, and the reason he became the most powerful wizard in the Material Plane is quite simple.
That is, he caught the favor of the Goddess of Magic!…
It should have been mentioned earlier that if a certain wizard is lucky enough to gain the favor of the Goddess of Magic or has had intimate contact with her avatar, then this wizard can receive a special grace. Normally, this lucky one will permanently gain an additional legendary spell slot, or even more fortunately, all spell slots increase by one.
These are all permanent.
Moreover, these spell slots are not affected by one’s own strength. Even if a 1st-level wizard gains the favor of the Goddess of Magic, after a moment of intimate contact, he can still use these spell slots.
Of course, the premise is that he can memorize a legendary spell.
This term’s Goddess of Magic seems to have only Ildis as the lucky one who received her favor, however, many wizards received grace from the last Goddess of Magic.
Even!
The daughter of the last Goddess of Magic could also grant additional spell slots, and a certain lady who once ruled Silver Moon City was very sought after by people because gaining her favor could lead to an extra spell slot for an entire night.
To be honest.
If there truly exists a Child of the Planes in this world, then the Ildis before him should be one of them!
