In the legends of the Seeds of Gods, these gods were supposed to be subordinate gods. In other words, they were attached to some powerful main gods. For example, the God of Trees and the God of Thorns should be subordinate gods that belonged to the God of the Forest, which in turn belonged to the Goddess of Nature.
However, although these deities had a low status among the gods, they were, after all, real deities. Any one of them would be able to kill a Sanctuary powerhouse like Lin Li effortlessly. In this hall, there were dozens of such subsidiary deities. One could imagine the shock they brought to Lin Li.
The Little Skeleton did not introduce anything to Lin Li, and instead led him to the other end of the hall. It was like a cold and indifferent jailer that ignored the wails and roars of the surrounding deities. No matter how dazzling those deities used to be, the Little Skeleton was the most powerful one here.
Seeing the Little Skeleton's behavior, Lin Li naturally did not make a fuss. Although he was really shocked, he still looked rather calm on the surface. However, it was also because of this that when he reached the second floor of the Mage Tower, he discovered that apart from the sealed deities, there were actually more things in the Mage Tower that shocked or amazed him.
For example, the floor that was paved with Celestial Crystals was a magical material that was already extinct in Anril. It only appeared in the legends of the Mythological Era. It was said that even the King of Gods used it to build his palace. A piece the size of a fist could release a massive amount of mana that was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. It also contained extremely pure Sky Laws.
There was also the Chaotic Adamantine that was used to build the pillars. It was said to be a rare magical metal that was condensed from the Chaotic Force at the beginning of the world. It was 100% inclusive of all magical elements and Laws. Although it did not have much mana, it was definitely the best material to create superb magical weapons or magical equipment. The Stars of Fury that Lin Li had been looking for required a very important metal material, and that was the Chaotic Adamantine.
The seven pieces of the debris of the stars each contained a pure nomological power. If there was no Chaotic Adamantine in the Stars of Fury, it would probably not be able to activate their power at all. It was precisely because of the Chaotic Adamantine that the Stars of Fury had the foundation to control the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. Coupled with the proprietary Divine Smith mageweaths, the seven pieces of the debris of the stars could be unleashed to their full potential.
In addition, Chaotic Adamantine had another powerful function. When forging other magical weapons, as long as a little Chaotic Adamantine was added, the quality of the weapon would be greatly improved. It would allow a Master Blacksmith to forge a Guru-level weapon. If it were in the hands of a Smithing Guru like Lin Li, it would probably be possible for him to create something that was close to the level of an artifact.
Lin Li did not pay any attention to what the first floor of the Mage Tower looked like. The sight of the many sealed deities was too shocking to him, so much so that he had no time to care about other things. However, when he reached the second floor, Lin Li could already divide his attention to observe other things even though the sealed deities were of a higher level and were more powerful.
Apart from the sealed gods, there weren't many rare items in the hall on the first floor. However, the sealed deities were not the only things on the upper floor. Apart from the various rare magical materials that made Lin Li salivate, there were also many ordinary-looking magical items that contained terrifying power.
For example, an ordinary lampstand was lit with a wisp of fire elemental origin. Once it was released, it would be a piece of cake for the sky to be filled with flames. Even the Domain World of a Sanctuary powerhouse would probably be burned to ashes once it came into contact with the sparks.
There were also the ancient sea serpent pearls that had been auctioned at a high price at the auction. However, they were treated as ordinary decorations here. Lin Li could even feel that each of the sea serpent pearls seemed to have nurtured a world. Anyone who obtained it would have a Domain World that belonged to them.
There was an hourglass that was used to measure time. Although it didn't look amazing, it had already condensed the laws of time and space. If someone mastered the way to use it, they could even use it to reverse time and space within a certain range. That would already involve the power of the divine domain, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was an artifact.
In this Mage Tower, it could be said that even a drop of water or a grain of dust had great power. Even though Lin Li had always felt that he had seen much of the world, he still felt like a country bumpkin entering the city when he walked in the Mage Tower.
After Lin Li came to Anril, he had explored many ruins, from the Eternal Furnace to the Throne of Darkness, and from Prince Brahere's mausoleum to the Sky Castle. The powerful magical equipment that he had obtained was enough to make anyone jealous. However, Lin Li still felt that he was too poor here.
Lin Li couldn't stop to study those things, and had no choice but to follow the Little Skeleton up the stairs to the top of the Mage Tower. Of course, Lin Li was also very clear that this Mage Tower was most likely left for him by the Immortal King or Geresco. Hence, he wasn't in a hurry to covet those things.
The second floor, the third floor … Lin Li followed the Little Skeleton up. Gradually, Lin Li felt a little numb. This was just like a cage that imprisoned the gods. The first floor only contained some low-level subsidiary gods, but the higher they went, the more powerful the imprisoned gods were.
Gradually, secondary gods like the God of Bravery, such as the God of Rivers, the God of Justice, the God of Forest, and so on, also appeared in front of Lin Li. These secondary gods were several times or even more powerful than those subsidiary gods. They were already powerful existences that could establish their own Divine Kingdoms.
To a god, the Divine Kingdom was not only their backyard, but also a place to receive worship and absorb faith. It was also an extremely powerful weapon that could attack and defend. The difference between a god and a mage who didn't have a Divine Kingdom was like the difference between a mage and a mage who didn't have a Magical Domain. It was completely a difference in realm.
However, such a god who could already create a Divine Kingdom was now imprisoned in this Mage Tower like a prisoner. When the Little Skeleton and Lin Li passed by them, they were like prisoners who had been imprisoned for many years. They had long lost their pride as gods, and were roaring and begging someone to let them out.
Lin Li couldn't say that he wasn't interested in these gods, but he didn't find them as rare as he did in the beginning. After the initial shock, he was more intrigued by the various arrangements in the Magus Tower. For this group of sorcerers to be able to suppress so many deities, it was only natural that they had many impressive settings.
First of all, the mageweath that suppressed the gods had the same effect as the mageweath that suppressed the Ancient God of Light outside. It was definitely an excellent reference for Lin Li. In addition, there were many mageweaths that were used in the Mage Tower. Be it for offense, defense, or Illusory Arrays, they were all Divine-Smith-level mageweaths. Lin Li was really dazzled by them.
However, although these Divine-Smith-level mageweaths were powerful, it wasn't easy for Lin Li to fully master them with his current level of inscription. Now, he could only be considered to have broadened his horizons and found out what the various Divine-Smith-level mageweaths were like. He would only study them in detail when he had time in the future.
However, although Lin Li couldn't master those mageweaths, he could still see some mysteries in them. In particular, among the mageweaths that suppressed the gods, there was actually a mageweath that could continuously extract the divine power of the gods. Not only did it treat the gods as a source of mana, but it could also use the nomological power that the gods had mastered.
After discovering that, Lin Li couldn't help but sigh. The Immortal King was really generous. Not only did he imprison and suppress the gods, but he also used them as slaves and experimental subjects.
Following the Little Skeleton all the way up, Lin Li saw that the level of the suppressed gods was getting higher and higher. By the time he reached the 11th floor of the Mage Tower, Lin Li was already very numb to it, and there probably wouldn't be anything that could shock him anymore. However, when he saw the things on this floor, Lin Li was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
It turned out that the eleventh level was actually suppressing Ancient Gods and there were more than a dozen of them. It should be known that Ancient Gods were different from ordinary Gods. Ancient Gods were born from the chaos and possessed a powerful source of power. Other than the Ancient Gods, the Gods would usually master the core of the Rule and condense the Rule into Godhood through studying a certain rule. Thus, they were much weaker than the Ancient Gods.
For example, the ancient God of Light was born with the origin of light. Although there were gods that could become the so-called God of Light by studying the Laws of Light, they were inferior to the ancient God of Light in terms of origin. It could be said that among the gods, even the powerful Lords would find it difficult to resist the ancient gods. They would be suppressed by the power of the ancient gods.
Initially, Lin Li thought that it was already very impressive for the Immortal King to be able to suppress the ancient God of Light. Even after entering the tower and seeing so many gods being suppressed and imprisoned, he never thought about suppressing the ancient gods. However, everything that he saw now gave Lin Li a better understanding of the power of the Immortal King.
The ancient gods that were suppressed included the Ancient God of Darkness, the Ancient God of Fire, the Ancient God of Chaos, the Ancient God of War, and so on. Each of them was not inferior to the ancient God of Light. However, even these powerful ancient gods couldn't escape the fate of being the source of mana and test subjects. They were all imprisoned in the seal and couldn't escape.
Finally, Lin Li arrived at the top of the Mage Tower under the lead of Little Skeleton. However, this floor was very different from before. Not only was the space much smaller, but there weren't many decorations either.
The little skeleton stopped in front of the two half-closed doors, and said to Lin Li respectfully, "Master, the things that the former master left for you are in this room."
There was a crack in the middle of the two doors that was half the width of a person, and there was a faint light coming from inside. Lin Li looked in through the gap, and saw that there seemed to be a study inside. There were rows of bookshelves that were neatly arranged with various books. In front of one of the bookshelves, there was a figure sitting with his back facing Lin Li. His arms moved occasionally, and he seemed to be flipping through something.
Lin Li was no stranger to this figure at all. It was the God of Mages Geresco, who had taught him countless times in the inverted tower. Of course, this Geresco probably wasn't his real body, and should be the same as the phantom in the inverted tower.
Initially, Lin Li was a little worried about coming here. After all, he knew nothing about this place, and he couldn't fully believe Little Skeleton's words. However, seeing that Geresco's phantom was here, he naturally didn't have to worry about any traps here. Although he was already a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, if Geresco really wanted to destroy him, he wouldn't have to go around in circles.
Reaching out, Lin Li gently pushed the door open, and strode into the room.
However, as soon as Lin Li stepped in, he immediately felt his vision blur, and when he regained consciousness, he was already in another world. The place where he stood had already become an island in the sea. As far as the eye could see, all he could see was the boundless ocean, with waves surging and roaring.
Next, he saw meteors falling from the sky with dazzling sparks and whistling sounds as they streaked across the sky and landed on the surface of the sea. Every meteor that fell would cause huge waves on the surface of the sea, and the deafening roars seemed to be born from the bottom of the sea.
Lin Li stood on the island, looking at the doomsday-like scene and the massive fireballs that seemed to be falling endlessly. If it was just a disaster caused by a meteor falling, it would be nothing to a Sanctuary powerhouse. However, Lin Li seemed extremely shocked at this moment.
It was because Lin Li could sense a strong aura of divinity from those falling meteors. They were not falling meteors, but fallen deities!
The fall of the gods! Was there anything more shocking than this in this world? Amidst the shock, Lin Li suddenly thought of the gods that had been imprisoned along the way. Could there be a connection between the two?
At this moment, Lin Li suddenly heard a voice that was very familiar to him.
"I believe you can do what I can too!"
Geresco! Lin Li was naturally no stranger to Geresco's voice. However, what was Geresco talking about? Could it be the reason for the fall of the gods? Or could it be that Geresco, who had followed the Immortal King's footsteps, had passed the Immortal King's test, and what he was talking about had also passed the Immortal King's test?
