A civilization couldn't be supported by a few people.
For example, although Modor City had a lot of very sophisticated alchemy technology, the only thing that could be popularized was the magic street lamps. But even just the magic street lamps required a group of low-grade wizards to check and maintain them regularly. As for the golem factories, which had more advanced alchemy technology, there were more than two digits of spellcasters for daily maintenance. Usually, if there was any damage to the golem puppets, these things all needed low-grade spellcasters to do.
It could be said that without these low-grade spellcasters, Gloria wouldn't have enough time and energy to study.
The same principle could be applied everywhere.
Cutting-edge experiments could rely on the power of geniuses, but popularization and maintenance required a lot of low-grade manpower. The collapse of the Magic Net meant that the difficulty of Søren's plan for the floating city skyrocketed. Losing a large number of low-grade wizards would make it difficult to maintain the floating city in the future. This was the same in other civilizations. Scientists discovered a lot of important knowledge, but in the end, countless workers and scholars were needed to promote the overall process of the civilization.
The collapse of the Magic Net was a sign of the end of the era.
Looking at the long history of the multiverse, most of the times that could be called "interstellar civilizations" relied on the Magic Net to establish themselves.
Otherwise, wizards would be the representatives of mystery.
Although there weren't many wizards in the material plane, because of the Magic Net, wizards could be seen in almost every town. But if there was no Magic Net in the future, it would be difficult to see wizards even in big cities.
"Da da da."
Søren sat in the hall and pondered. He frowned slightly and murmured, "The Magic Net collapsed in the end! In this case, what about my plan for the floating city? "
The power of the Magic Net was controlled by the Goddess of Magic.
If possible, Søren didn't want to see the Magic Net disappear because the era without the Magic Net was a sad era.
"Where is the Goddess of Magic now?"
"Did she fall?"
Soran looked out of the window and whispered, "If the Goddess of Magic falls, the new successor can regain control of the power of the Magic Net."
"Similarly, the Magic Net will be repaired."
"In the current situation, should I implement Plan B or Plan C?"
The fall of the Goddess of Magic was inevitable in the original history.
Although Søren had helped the Goddess of Magic survive the first crisis, he was still unable to prevent the collapse of the Magic Net. The only thing he could do was to ensure that the Goddess of Magic was still alive even though she was missing.
The collapse of the Weave was one of the most critical factors in the Avatar Crisis.
That was why Søren had a backup plan a long time ago. Helping the Goddess of Magic was Plan A that Søren had prepared, and it seemed like Plan A had failed.
Because the Weave had already disappeared.
Søren was a person who was used to acting after making up his mind. Of course, he didn't only have one plan. He had two other backup plans.
For example, plan B.
In Søren's original plan, if the Goddess of Magic couldn't escape the fate of death, then he would turn around and help the Silvermoon Lady obtain the power of the Goddess of Magic. Because the Lady of Silvermoon was one of the creators of the Goddess of Magic, she could replace the Goddess of Magic to repair the Divine Network.
Of course.
Other than that, Søren also had a plan C.
This plan was much bolder, and he only thought of it after advancing to the mid-level Divine Power. Because the current Goddess of Magic, Midnight, used to be just an ordinary witch. She became a God because she inherited the power of the Goddess of Magic. If Søren had enough cards up his sleeve, he might be able to try to help someone get the priesthood of the Goddess of Magic.
For example, Gloria or Fallen Witch.
The difficulty of Plan C was extremely high! But it wasn't completely impossible!
Anything could happen in the Time of Troubles. There were many mortals who became Gods in the original history. It was naturally not impossible to seize the priesthood of the Goddess of Magic from the hands of the Gods. But if Søren did this, he would have to face too many enemies. After all, this was a priesthood of [Greater Divine Power].
And.
To be honest, Gloria or Fallen Witch's abilities were not enough to control the power of the Goddess of Magic.
There was only one way for Gloria to obtain the priesthood of Magic. Søren could seize the power of the priesthood and transfer it to her, allowing her to become a God as a mortal.
"The Weave."
"The Shadow Weave."
Søren frowned as he pondered. He seemed to be hesitating as he muttered, "I have the priesthood of Shadow, and I am an Arcanist."
"Then!"
"Can I try to obtain or create something similar to the Shadow Weave?"
Søren didn't dare to think about the real Shadow Weave.
But if it was the Shadow Weave, Søren felt that there was a slight possibility. After all, his control over the Shadow Plane was very strong.
And when Mistress Night first created the Shadow Weave, it was limited to the Underdark.
Mistress Night wasn't a pure spellcaster. She was an ancient God, and her profession was closer to that of a Rogue. She had many similarities with Søren.
Mistress Night's profession must be mentioned.
She was [Rogue, Shadow Dancer, Assassin, Warlock, and Shadow Manipulator].
And Søren's current profession was [Rogue, Shadow Dancer, Wizard, and Arcanist].
Wasn't it very similar?
That's right!
Søren and Mistress Night's professions were very similar. It could even be said that they were of the same school.
The biggest difference was that Mistress Night was a Warlock's spellcaster, while Søren was a Wizard's spellcaster.
Perhaps Søren was still far from reaching Mistress Night's level of ability.
But what if it was just a small area of the Shadow Weave?
With the power of the [Shadow] Priesthood and the ability of the Shadow Plane, could Søren build a small area of the Shadow Plane that covered the vicinity of Mordor City?
It was very possible!
The more Søren thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
However.
He still lacked the most important part, and that was to obtain a Priesthood related to magic, the Shadow Weave, and the Mystery Plane. He must first obtain such a Priesthood before he could try to imitate the Shadow Weave.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to succeed!
The existence of the Shadow Weave relied on the power of the Priesthood. Without a Priesthood related to magic, Søren didn't even have the basic ability to build a Magic Network.
