End of the Magic Era

Chapter 1372: Meeting

Returning to his Natural Demiplane, Lin Yun took out the 72 King’s Pillars that he found in the 73rd God’s relics. Each of the 72 King’s Pillars contained a very special power. When they were combined, their power could evolve into a lot of special abilities.

It was said that as long as one fully grasped the power of the 72 King’s Pillars, one would essentially own all possible magic tools. The combinations of the 72 King’s Pillars could display all the abilities of the Extraordinary Magic Tools!

However, nobody had ever acquired the 72 King’s Pillars or had a full understanding of them. Only some of the King’s Pillars’ abilities were recorded.

However, it had been written down that a Heaven Rank who had a Natural Demiplane could melt the King’s Pillars into the Natural Demiplane to facilitate its development.

There was once an expert who melted the King’s Pillar he acquired into his Demiplane. Then, the laws of fire and earth evolved quickly in his Demiplane. In the end, complete and even ultimate versions of the laws of fire and earth appeared in the end.

That usually happened to the supreme planes of fire elements or earth elements. It was one of the features of the ultimate planes.

Of all the experts who had acquired the Natural Demiplane, he was the most famous one after Agalon. Also, he was actually even stronger than Agalon. He was a super powerhouse who ignited his God Fire in Noscent’s heyday, but in the end, Noscent ran out of its mana, and the expert was completely gone in the boundless void.

Having acquired the 72 King’s Pillars, Lin Yun didn’t know what would happen, but he was quite positive that unprecedented things would probably occur to his Natural Demiplane.

The 72 King’s Pillars appeared in the Demiplane. Before Lin Yun did anything, all of them emanated light in different colors. Then, all the 72 King’s Pillars flew to the sky, and formed an enormous array, which changed constantly after it took shape, turning into a completely different array every second.

Then, the array became bigger and bigger. In only a couple of minutes, it had expanded to become as big as the Natural Demiplane. Then, the core of the Natural Demiplane was activated. The light from the sky and that from the earth resonated, and gradually melted.

The array in the sky gradually descended, and melted into the earth.

Lin Yun quietly watched, and suddenly had a weird feeling. It was like the Natural Demiplane had been a dead body without a soul, and the 72 King’s Pillars had added a soul to it. The entire Natural Demiplane seemed to be back to life at that moment…

The earth was shivering softly, not because of an earthquake, but because the earth was expanding quickly. Lin Yun felt that he was constantly sinking, and the sky was getting more and more distant.

He examined more carefully, only to find that it was his imagination. The earth was getting thicker and more spacious, and the sky was getting higher and higher, but he had the strange feeling that he was falling.

Unlike when his Natural Demiplane had evolved before, the transition this time was quite steady. The Natural Demiplane had been expanded by more than five times, more than it had ever in any expansion.

The pillar had completely stabbed into the clouds. Looking from the ground, the pillar was like a thick stick that disappeared in the middle of the clouds.

70 King’s Pillars were completely gone. The last two of them transformed into an enormous gate that was 100 meters tall on the top of the mountain.

The enormous glittering gate was the Natural Demiplane’s link to other places.

With that, the Natural Demiplane was no longer just Lin Yun’s Demiplane. It would be a complete world like a real plane, and it was no longer just connected to Lin Yun.

That seemed to be quite dangerous, but it was actually a sign that the Natural Demiplane was developed more comprehensively. It was more powerful than before.

More importantly, even though Lin Yun couldn’t understand what was new in his Natural Demiplane, which looked more splendid than before, he had the feeling that the Natural Demiplane was alive. He instinctively felt that it was the most precious thing. In order for a Natural Demiplane to truly rise, that was the most difficult thing to achieve.

Unable to figure it out, Lin Yun could only give up for now. He felt that he was in the middle of mist that prevented him from seeing things clearly. He had to wait until he was stronger.

After the Natural Demiplane expanded more than fivefold, the mana vines in the northwestern corner could only reproduce crazily again. The mana density in the entire Natural Demiplane had plummeted several times over. The Mana Lake had almost dried. The lack of mana was the best opportunity for the reproduction of the vines.

The vines, which had occupied a radius of almost 30 kilometers, expanded again. They expanded by half in only half an hour, and the expansion didn’t stop. They grabbed mana from the void, and injected it into the lake as a river. Then, the lake water was constantly vaporizing, and meeting the Natural Demiplane’s need for mana.

There didn’t seem to be significant changes in the Natural Demiplane except for its size. Lin Yun was slightly puzzled. However, his instincts couldn’t be wrong. He had fully melted with the Natural Demiplane. He could only confirm that what happened was good.

After staying in the Natural Demiplane for a couple of days, and confirming that nothing was wrong, Lin Yun left the Natural Demiplane.

Hardly had he returned to Noscent when Faleau told him that Dean Gandaph of the Starry Sky College sent a word three days earlier, asking him to go to the Starry Sky College because the Starry Sky College’s master was back.

Hearing that, Lin Yun couldn’t wait any longer. He ignored the business in the Gilded Rose, and left for the Starry Sky College immediately.

While Agalon had been gone, Lin Yun had been worried for him, even though he’d known that Agalon wouldn’t die until his vision came true. After all, there were too many unexpected factors in the boundless void.

Also, it had been proven that not all of Agalon’s visions came true. The history that was supposed to be unchangeable had changed many times. It was possible that he might have encountered a formidable space beast in the boundless void that was strong enough to change the course of history and kill him…

Nobody was sure about what happened. Hearing that Agalon was finally back, Lin Yun took a long breath of relief, and flew towards the Starry Sky College immediately.

He had too many questions that he needed to ask Agalon.

What did Agalon encounter in the boundless void? What happened?

Did he see any new visions? Did he have any leads on the truth that he was pursuing?

Also, was what happened to Lin Yun’s Natural Demiplane good or bad? Was it going in the wrong direction?

A lot of things had changed without him realizing it. Also, his feelings seemed to be changing too.

Lin Yun flew all the way to the Starry Sky College rapidly. Many sky riders who were on patrol in the Starry Sky College pretended that they didn’t see him. Lin Yun was very close to the three deans of the Starry Sky College, especially Gandaph, who had taken him into the college many times.

Anyone who wasn’t stupid should know that the no-fly array and order of the Starry Sky College didn’t apply to Lin Yun.

Flying all the way deep into the Starry Sky College, he found Gandaph’s small building, and Gandaph was walking out.

“Sir Merlin, it’s great to see you. I heard that you weren’t in Neverwinter City, and I was worried that you might miss it…”

Gandaph walked out in a hurry. Seeing Lin Yun, he was about to open the space gate and take Lin Yun away.

Lin Yun quickly stopped Gandaph.

“Dean Gandaph, is Sir Agalon back? Also, where are we going?”

Gandaph was dazed for a moment, as if he didn’t expect Lin Yun to ask such a question.

“Dean Gandaph, I haven’t been in Noscent recently. I don’t know what happened. I’ve not seen Sir Agalon, either…”

Gandaph shook his head.

“Sir Agalon is indeed back. Also, he is not hurt. Everything is fine. It’s just that he found something by accident.

“We’re going to a meeting right now. Many of the people who will participate in the meeting are top experts. Three of them are as strong as Sir Agalon.

“Sir Agalon has personally instructed that you should participate in the meeting. Alright. No more questions. You’ll know everything after we arrive. We have to leave right now.”

After Gandaph said that, he didn’t give Lin Yun another chance to ask questions. He opened a space gate, and disappeared from the Starry Sky College with Lin Yun.

When Lin Yun walked out of the space gate, he found himself in a boundless prairie where no animals could be spotted. There was such a heavy pressure in the air that Lin Yun’s Fusion Shield automatically unfolded to resist it.

There was even a shimmer on Gandaph’s skin. It seemed that even he couldn’t completely ignore the pressure in the outside world.

Lin Yun felt that his soul had been suppressed by someone else’s aura. Also, he didn’t even seem to be the main target…

He rolled his eyes, and looked around. He saw a lot of people in the prairie. Most of them had opened their Fusion Shields like Lin Yun did. There were dozens of them. Further ahead, there were another 30 or so experts.

Further inside, there were 10 men. Then, in the very center was an enormous round table 30 meters in diameter, where four men had sat down. The terrifying pressure that had stopped the air from flowing came exactly from the center.

One of the four men was Agalon. The man who sat on his opposite side wore a black robe, and had white hair. There were weird tattoos on his face. Some of the dangerous aura that was spreading in the air came from him, and some came from Agalon.

One of the other two men wore purple gold armor, and had a square face. He was almost two meters tall when he was sitting, and would be three meters tall when he stood up. He was holding a golden sword that had a golden skull on its grip[1].

Lin Yun knew him to be the famous Lionheart Prince of the Odin Royal Family. He had lived thousands of years. He was the most active thousands of years earlier, when he was a prince of the Odin Kingdom, and only beneath the king.

At that time, the Lionheart Prince showed exceptional talent in swordsmanship when he was very young. He became a Sword Saint before he reached 30, and he was given the title of Lionheart Sword Saint.

He made the breakthrough into the Heaven Rank in his thirties, and became a Heaven Rank Sword Saint. Then, there was no stopping him from growing strong. In the most chaotic days of the Odin Kingdom, he showed up and made an announcement. The south of the Odin Kingdom and the north, which were angry with each other, didn’t dare to fight again.

All forces obeyed the Lionheart Prince’s order. Henceforth, a long, narrow belt appeared in the middle of the Odin Kingdom as a buffer area. Although the south and the north of the Odin Kingdom still despised each other, they didn’t dare to declare war on each other anymore.

After all, everybody who was born in the Lionheart Prince’s age had died, and he had been the most powerful man of the royal family since thousands of years ago. He was not passionate about power. He didn’t succeed as the king even when his brother, the then-prince, passed away.

Still, nobody was as influential as the Lionheart Prince inside the royal family.

He was very famous, and his look was quite idiosyncratic, so it was easy to infer who the man that was sitting with Agalon was.

The last person was an elf who had pointy ears and bright green skin. He was also wearing a grass hairband. His hair was white and smooth, and he had a pretty face that didn’t lack masculinity.

It was easy to tell that he was the king of the forest elves to the south of the Odin Kingdom, who ruled over all the minority races down there.

To the south beyond the Odin Kingdom was a world of mountains and forests that was as big as the Odin Kingdom. It was where most races other than humans lived in Noscent.

The forest elves took up the greatest portion of their population, and were the strongest on average. Naturally, their king was qualified to sit at the table as the beloved son of nature.

Four level-9 Heaven Rank experts, and not just ordinary ones, had suddenly gathered. Obviously, they weren’t here for tea.

The 100 men who were standing around the crystal table in the center were all unqualified to have a seat. At this moment, the guy who had weird tattoos on his face was resisting Agalon’s aura. It was easy to tell their strength from the place they were standing.

The stronger they were, the closer they were to the table. After looking around, Lin Yun found that he was at the very edge, and everybody who stood there was in level 5 of the Heaven Rank.

Everybody inward was above level 5 of the Heaven Rank. He looked around, and saw dozens of people who were stronger than him. There were almost 30 people in level 7 of the Heaven Rank and 10 in level 8 of the Heaven Rank!

Even Lin Yun was astonished at the gathering of so many experts. It was rather astonishing that there were so many experts in Noscent.

The man who was resisting Agalon’s aura was almost at the peak of the Heaven Rank too.

Unlike other people, Lin Yun knew very well that Agalon was hiding his capabilities. Other Heaven Rank Mages couldn’t change laws in the Heaven Rank, but Agalon could. He had the ability that was expected of those who had ignited the God Fire.

As long as Agalon slightly changed the laws, the ugly man who had tattoos on his face would surely fall on his knees. The difference between them was even more significant than that between a Heaven Rank mage and an Archmage.

Seeing that Agalon was hiding his strength, Lin Yun’s eyes glittered. He realized something. If he hid his ability to change laws, it would be a great trump card to prevent himself from facing destruction 10 years from this day.

After Lin Yun arrived, he simply waited quietly. In the prairie, more and more space gates were opening, and new Heaven Rank mages were still walking out.

Also, every time a space gate was opened, not just one person would come out. Besides Heaven Rank mages and Sword Saints, there were also guys who had strange auras.

More and more experts had arrived. None of them were lower than level 5 of the Heaven Rank, which was clearly the threshold to enter this place.

Fewer and fewer space gates were opening. After an hour, no more space gates opened. More than 300 experts were already standing in the prairie.

All of them were no weaker than level 5 of the Heaven Rank. There were as many mages as there were Sword Saints. However, there were fewer higher-level Sword Saints. The Lionheart Prince was the only one who was qualified to sit at the crystal table.

“Alright, everybody must’ve arrived. Let’s talk about business!” the Lionheart Prince spoke solemnly. His voice gradually spread out, and seemed to be sounding right next to everyone’s ears, but nobody felt that it was too loud. It was almost like the Lionheart Prince was talking to every one of them face to face.

The Lionheart Prince opened his mouth, and the suffocating pressure in the air was instantly gone. Both the guy who had tattoos all over his face and Agalon withdrew their aura.
