Chapter 60 – The Gods Block the Way Ahead

The chirping grew more and more piercing.

Straight to the eardrums and deep into the mind.

When the frequency of the chirping reached its peak, Xu System’s spiritual power expanded along with it, initially resembling a babbling brook, and then transforming into a surging, angry river after a few seconds had passed.

Sweeping.

Slapping.

Devouring.

Wrapping the elements around them with abandon.

“It’s not …… enough,” Xu System muttered as he reached out and grabbed his wand, and a whole dozen contract spell formations appeared out of thin air, dropping elemental sprites in the void.

That’s since the analog wizarding world.

Through elemental perception and mortal wisdom, the entirety of the elemental elves contracted by the Hsu system.

Earth, wind, water and fire.

Light, darkness, thunder, and air.

Life, Death, Nature, Destruction ……

There were too many, just too many, more than a dozen elemental elves, shuttling in from their respective elemental realms to provide the Xu system with a steady stream of elemental tides.

And only such exaggerated elemental tides.

It was only then that Xu System’s extraordinary tenfold magical power, as well as its vast and surging spiritual power, could be satisfied.

“Boom!!!”

The elements stirred and the magic surged.

Finally, in the midst of one elemental flush after another, Xu System’s spiritual power was purified and smoothly controlled all the irascible elements.

It’s not about communicating like an apprentice.

Nor is it to resonate like a formal mage.

Rather, it’s about control, overriding the elements with your own will, controlling them in all directions.

Archmagician.

Successful promotion!

“I didn’t expect that this breakthrough would actually bring about such a great increase in strength,” Xu System lightly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air as ruptures resounded around him from time to time.

His spiritual power was too powerful, uninterrupted, affecting the surroundings all the time.

There was more of an invisible light and sharpness between the closed eyes.

This is a sign of outward manifestation of spiritual power.

Xu System sat in meditation for ten minutes to calm the joy and excitement after the breakthrough, and slowly, his eyes returned to their normal appearance of the past.

“Grand Wizard.”

“Archmagician.”

“From the name, the difference between the two realms is merely a change of character.”

“But in terms of strength, the gap between these is like heaven and earth; the latter has already departed from ordinary spellcasters and is heading towards the direction of a god.”

Familiarize yourself with the finished surge of strength.

Inside the bleak meditation room, Xu System spread out his palms, and there was a hazy halo of light flickering in his palms.

The light was so soft and delicate that it blossomed blazingly in its weakness, gradually transforming from light into fire, and from the embers of the fire spurting forth streams of water.

The power of the elements followed the will of the Xu system.

Fire and water.

Wind and Earth.

Light and Darkness.

Life and Death.

In the end, all the elements condensed into a single point, shimmering and swaying at Xu System’s fingertips until Xu System withdrew the spiritual power controlling them, only to collapse abruptly in a soft chirping sound.

This is the power, or privilege, of an Archmagician.

The ability to manipulate the elements you know with abandon.

Shape, stretch, and control.

If one develops this control to the extreme, and adds deep spiritual power, one will form an elemental domain that belongs exclusively to the individual, and advance to the rank of Holy Domain Magician.

“It’s a real scream,” the Xu system let out.

From the Archmagician onwards, the magic system has embarked on the path of the gods, with bits and essences being raised step by step until it ignites the divine fire and exalts the power to become the world’s controller in the true sense of the word.

It’s a path to immortality.

Condense knowledge, control rules, and understand the nature of the world.

The road to the end was extremely arduous, not easier than the cultivation side, no, more accurately, there was no path to transcendence that was easy to be with.

“Immortal deity? …… Tsk.”

“It’s a pity that I can’t ignite the divine fire this time and experience the smoothness of ascending to godhood.”

The Xu system tsked lightly.

Waving his wand, he sent all the elemental elves flying around him to their respective elemental realms.

The residual elements floated in the air like a dream, colorful and quite gorgeous to look at.

The Xu system calmly gazed at this beautiful scene.

[Mortal Wisdom] was too heaven-defying, and in just fifteen years of simulation, it had allowed Department Xu to advance from being an ordinary person to a Grand Magician who controlled the elements.

In his limited mortal lifespan, Department Xu could be certain that his promotion to Holy Domain Magus was a sure thing.

But that’s as far as it goes.

Let alone ascending to True God, even if it was just a demigod pseudo-god, it would no longer have anything to do with the Xu system.

The [Mortal Wisdom] grants the Xu line an unrivaled talent, whether it be cultivating spiritual power, learning magic, or gaining insight into the truths of the world, it gives a great deal of assistance.

It’s just relative.

The price for acquiring this wisdom is that everything in the Hsu system is limited to the realm of mortals, including lifespan.

“……”

Inside the silent meditation room, with the help of the yellowish light, Xu Xiang looked down, looking at his hands which were already 29 years old.

Slender and dexterous, as if it had never changed.

But if you look closely and explore, you can find the traces left by time.

“This long river of time is indeed difficult to cross, it’s just a pity that I don’t even have the chance to attempt to cross it”, Xu System’s tone held regret as he looked up at the ceiling of the meditation room.

Special steel and stone cast ceilings are exceptionally hard and durable, thick enough to insulate everything.

But the Xu system has very calm eyes.

It was as if he had pierced through the steel and stone and seen more and more distant light, seeing the infinite and high heavenly realm, the gods who looked down on all living beings with indifferent gazes.

“At the current rate of cultivation, with the help of mortal wisdom, even if it is extremely difficult to break through to a Holy Domain Magical Instructor, it won’t take me too much time.”

“According to this logic, I deserve to have a lot of spare time to study how to break through the limitations and allow myself to truly ascend to God.”

“It’s just a shame ……”

The Xu system sighed softly, “The gods of this world have fully suppressed the laws of the elements.”

Undetectable in weak hours.

However, after advancing to Grand Magus and becoming a part of the same control of the elements, Department Xu clearly perceived that the elemental laws of the magical world were extremely bland.

There is no doubt that this is the handiwork of the gods, a yoke specifically designed to limit those who come after them.

It makes practicing an already difficult elemental mage.

It is more difficult to see the truth of the world.

Thereby igniting the divine fire and exalting the priesthood authority.

With the limitations of mortal lifespan in front of him, and the gods blocking the path ahead of him, System Xu couldn’t think of any possibility of becoming a god on his own.

He laughed frankly, “It seems that in this life, one can only stop at being a Holy Realm Magician.”

That’s enough.

That’s enough.

Xu system for such a result, already very satisfied, just in the depths of the heart, there is still so a little small regret.

After all, people who read netizens all year round have more or less fantasized about the glorious moment when they become immortal and become a god.

“Since I can’t become a god, I’ll learn more about other things in the time to come.”

“After all, once in a while a red word can’t be wasted on mortal wisdom.”

“And then there’s–“

“Nurture Krysia more before you die.”
