I Pioneered Scientific Magic - Chapter 563 (Patreon)

Chapter 563: Moon Landing Project

Given the wizards' keen interest in this new realm, Lynn discussed some divine attributes and non-confidential intelligence in detail.

The hierarchy of wizard advancement is now quite clear:

Official Wizards—initial mastery of magical power, able to manipulate some elements and induce simple chemical reactions.

Great Wizards—control over force fields, possessing domains, capable of controlling most elements and completing complex chemical reactions.

Legendary Wizards—transition from carbon-based life to energy life, able to control, decompose, and mimic all elements, further expanding their own domains to potentially cover an entire city!

Clearly, all these were preparations for converging divinity, descending into the divine realm, and becoming a deity!

"Quantum, dimensions, laws..." Harof murmured the three keys to divinity mentioned by Lynn, his eyes shimmering with fervor.

Having broken through to the legendary realm, they momentarily lost their direction forward. What steps to take next and how to continue refining themselves had undoubtedly become their most troubling dilemma.

Lynn's description of the divine realm now served as an excellent reference.

The other wizards also discussed fervently, although they were far from delving into the divine realm, so their discussions mainly centered on quantum theory issues.

Since Lynn had already succeeded in his breakthrough, it indicated that his micro-theoretical model of the magical star was absolutely correct.

It seems the foundation of magic needed to be dismantled and rebuilt!

Even if they were reluctant to believe it, Jeffrey, Alade, Sanchez, and others had to admit that the truth might indeed play dice, after all, the facts were right before their eyes!

"By the way, how is that dragon you captured doing? Did you torture any information out of it?" Lynn suddenly recalled the skeletal dragon captured by the council, which was one of the biggest gains from this war.

As a high-level legendary undead under the Death Lord, the dragon was privy to quite some intelligence.

"That bone dragon is pretty tame, it answers whatever we ask..." Victorio shrugged in response.

Realizing that the Death Lord was gone, the Winter Dragon, Valok, surprisingly yielded without much resistance, showing no intent to resist and even expressed its willingness to abandon darkness for their deity.

"Could this be a trap?" Aurora asked with a slight worry.

Logically, it should have been a devout follower of the Death Lord; its compliance and easy surrender, even willing to convert faith, seemed too good to be true.

"There's probably no such possibility," Victorio confidently stated.

The Winter Dragon, Valok, revealed a lot, such as the Death Lord's method of creating 'followers' being very direct, involving killing beings and transforming bodies, leaving marks in their souls with deep links to control the 'followers'.

"So these undead aren't very loyal to the Death Lord, rather quite resentful?" Aurora surprisingly remarked.

"Not exactly, lower undead lack the ability to resist control, but many higher undead willingly transformed to gain more power," Victorio explained.

Hearing this, the present wizards were astounded; to chase greater power and willingly give up life to become an undead was nothing short of madness.

However, Harof and others could understand; strictly speaking, they were no longer human themselves, their bodies merely mimicking elements, outwardly no different from other carbon-based life forms but internally transformed long ago.

"Whether it's true or false, I'll verify it myself," Lynn succinctly stated, having lost divine protection but still capable of searching a legendary being's memories wasn't too difficult with his powers.

"Besides this, did the bone dragon say anything else? Anything about the main world?" Lynn asked again, this being his primary concern.

"Pretty much what the Star Messenger said, there are probably more than a hundred gods in the main world combined," Victorio said gravely.

The Death Lord wasn't particularly strong among these gods, being a mid-level deity; having left the divine realm to descend into this world, he could only exhibit weak divine power.

Above him, there were gods with strong divine power, great divine power, and those capable of forming pantheons!

Lynn frowned, comparing it to the Moon Goddess Diana who detached from the main world, but mysteriously died on this side was different; the Death Lord's divine realm was still in the main world, his death would surely lead to a scramble for his divine realm, potentially drawing new gods' attention to this universe.

"Those gods aren't united; division among them is possible!" Harof reminded.

The fall of the Death Lord could demonstrate part of their power, deterring gods of the main world from acting rashly; they might opt to ally with some gods and pit them against others!

"What about the Star Messenger? Killing the Death Lord must have surprised it, right?" Harof asked with a smile.

Since the Life and Creation God had sent the messenger, they might try to win it over.

"That crow is dead, to be precise, it self-destructed," Lynn shook his head,

 dispelling Harof's fantasy and briefly described the scene he saw using his divine power to rewind 'time'.

Harof and others were astounded, quickly realizing something was amiss.

"It seems this matter is likely related to Aila," Victorio confidently stated.

After all, she was the biggest beneficiary of this war; the entire foreign domain was previously under the Death Lord's control, posing a huge threat to Aila, who had fled there.

Moreover, knowing all the spacetime gate locations, only she did!

Victorio even suspected the Death Lord might have been deliberately lured by her as revenge for the council expelling her from this world.

Lynn nodded, agreeing with Victorio's guess, aligning with his thoughts.

"Councilor Lynn, can you locate the foreign domain like the Death Lord and open a spacetime gate to both places?" Aurora inquired thoughtfully, clearly annoyed and fuming at being outmaneuvered by Aila.

If they could locate the foreign domain and send a few of the council's remaining nuclear reserves over, letting Aila experience a nuclear baptism would indeed be satisfying.

"About establishing spacetime gates, I already have some clues, likely related to quantum entanglement effects, but further experiments are needed," Lynn explained. "As for locating the foreign domain, I can't do that."

If his soul fragment was still present, he might locate the foreign domain's coordinates through this soul connection, but not now.

"She really got off cheap then!" Harof said helplessly, since they couldn't locate the foreign domain, dealing with Aila had to be postponed.

Lynn shook his head, moving past this topic and turned to Raphael and others, asking, "What actions have the remnants of the Church and Empire been taking these days?"

Although the entire continent had become a divine realm, its vast area limited his spiritual power, unable to cover everything comprehensively.

Only when something significant happened or someone called his name could he sense it and project his consciousness over.

"There have indeed been several remnants of the Church trying to seize the opportunity to cause trouble, but they obviously didn't expect us to resolve the foreign undead invasion so quickly, so they've all been dealt with," Raphael explained with a smile, then paused, his expression turning serious again, and spoke. "Councilors, do you remember the native halfling prisoner from the foreign domain?"

"What happened to him?" Lynn certainly remembered this; after Raphael and others entered the foreign domain through the spacetime gate, they captured a prisoner, and the psychic wizards extracted quite a lot of information from his mind.

Now that the war against the foreign domain was over, and since he was a non-magical civilian, unable to cause any chaos, the council was considering whether to release him after undergoing ideological reform.

"The wizard guarding him reported that this halfling prisoner has been performing routine prayers these past few days," Raphael hesitated to say.

"Isn't he just a follower of the Moon Goddess Diana? There's nothing strange about that, right?" Alade remarked indifferently.

"It's not that simple," Raphael shook his head, looking towards everyone present, "Have any of you felt something unusual about the moon lately?"

The moon? The wizards present were momentarily stunned, not quite understanding what Raphael meant.

"According to some wizards studying astronomy, the brightness of the moon has significantly fluctuated these past few days, also triggering a strong magical tide, usually only occurring on Mondays, and this situation is still intensifying," Raphael explained.

Lynn raised an eyebrow; these days, he had been busy researching arcane laws, having no time to notice changes in the moon's brightness, and although he felt the magical tide, he initially thought it was due to his antimatter cannon shaking the Eternal Star's orbit, causing some consequences...

"Is it Aila?!" Harof immediately stood up from his seat, not forgetting that among the Church's titles for Aila, one was the Moon Goddess.

When they attacked the holy city, there was even an unusual phenomenon of the sun and moon in the sky!

"It seems we need to check it out ourselves!" Lynn pondered briefly, then decisively stated.
