The morale of the 72 Fiendgods was at its peak, and they began to fight without regard for anything else. After that, some died, and some disappeared. Was this what they wanted?
"I don't believe that Gods are a bunch of idiots. They would let everyone die for territory or personal grudges.
"Although the Abyssal Demons have been spying on Noscent for so many years, those damned Greater Overlords don't have a crazy desire for Noscent. They would rather sleep in lava and flames for a few dozen millennia.
"Noscent isn't suitable for Demons to live in, or at least, most Demons aren't suitable for Noscent. There are still many Demons in Noscent, but no new Demons have appeared. The new Demons appear in the Abyss.
"Those Greater Overlords wouldn't recklessly launch an all-out invasion for a world they can't reproduce in.
"The same goes for the destruction of the 3rd Dynasty."
"Thus, I feel that there is an incomparably powerful existence spying on Noscent from a place we can't discover. Every time Noscent's civilization develops to its peak, it would destroy the entire civilization without exception.
"There was even one time when I felt a pair of unfathomable eyes looking at me. At that time, I just happened to be researching this point, so I moved here. All my research is done in the Demiplane."
Lin Yun's pupils suddenly shrank. He couldn't help recalling the words he saw when he obtained the Reedpush Plate.
The Reedpush Plate was very important to the Shelter Tower. It could be said that without the Reedpush Plate, the Shelter Tower simply wouldn't be able to delay Noscent's destruction for a few dozen millennia.
When that person drew the Reedpush Plate, he felt a pair of eyes looking at him.
There was a common point, they both found important clues to Noscent's destruction, or it could be said that they obstructed Noscent's destruction.
For a powerhouse like Agalon, he was powerful enough to change the rules of the world. It was said that among the powerhouses who had ignited their godfires, the more powerful ones would be able to sense even if someone was chanting their name. Sensing that someone was paying attention to them meant that someone really was paying attention to them …
"That's all I can research. As for what the truth is and how to change it in the end, it's all up to you. You can see much more of the future than I can. In fact, you're already changing the original trajectory of fate.
So I hope you can be the real leader of Starry Sky Academy and replace me. "
Agalon's words were very sincere, and it didn't feel like he was joking at all. From the beginning, he had invited Lin Yun, and now he repeated the invitation again. It gave Lin Yun a completely different feeling.
Lin Yun was silent for a few seconds. He did not directly refuse, but asked a question.
"Lord Agalon, I want to know why you let me take over your position?"
There was a smile on Agalon's face, and his eyes were filled with indifference and vicissitudes of having seen through everything in the world.
"You didn't directly reject me or accept me. My answer is the key, right?"
Lin Yun nodded, agreeing with this point of view.
"I'm going to die."
Agalon calmly said this, but Lin Yun almost threw his teacup.
A powerhouse at the peak of the Heaven Rank … No, he had already surpassed the peak of the Heaven Rank and was only a step away from igniting his Godfire. It would be normal for him to live for another ten thousand years.
Agalon sighed with regret.
"You didn't hear wrong, I'm already going to die. I awakened the power of my bloodline, and as the price, I know when I'll die. Moreover, no one can stop my death, just like no one can stop the sun from rising, and no one can stop all the rivers from converging into the sea.
"This is a part of fate, and it's a part of the world's Laws. Even if I can change part of the Laws, I'm powerless to change this. To put it simply, I'm doomed.
"Not long ago, I knew when I was going to die, but I don't know why I'm going to die. This is the unfathomable part of fate."
Lin Yun remained silent, but he didn't console Agalon. To Agalon, life and death were already indifferent, and to an Astrologer like Agalon, as long as they knew when they were going to die, as long as they knew when they were going to die, it would be unavoidable.
Unless Agalon was powerful enough to transcend, he would be able to resist the Laws of the entire world. At that time, he might be able to escape the calamity of death. Without transcending, the outcome was preordained. It was as stable as the Laws of the Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind Laws.
To an Astrologer, even if they made all the preparations in advance and avoided all the dangers they could think of, all kinds of unexpected things would still happen. In any case, they were doomed.
"How much time do we have left?"
Lin Yun had a very good impression of Agalon after a short contact. It felt as if he had found a bosom friend. In this era, anyone who told the other side that Noscent would be destroyed in a few dozen millennia would be treated as a lunatic.
He could always feel the invisible pressure of death, but no one could share this pressure. Now, there was someone who was convinced that Noscent would be destroyed and had done a lot of research, but Agalon was going to die.
Lin Yun felt a bit uncomfortable, a bit uncomfortable.
Agalon smiled.
"There are still ten years left. Some time ago, I sensed my death, and at the same time, I also sensed a disaster. Ten years later, the Starry Sky Academy will welcome a disaster of destruction. At that time, I will welcome my inevitable death.
"I can't avoid my fall, but I don't want the Starry Sky College to meet a calamity and be destroyed. Thus, I hope that you can take over my position and lead the Starry Sky College to avoid its destruction. This can be considered my selfishness.
"I grew up in the Starry Sky College and walked step by step until I reached my current position. Thus, the only thing I can't let go of is the Starry Sky College."
Hearing Agalon's words, Lin Yun suddenly recalled something.
That was something only mentioned in the biographies, that was Agalon's final outcome. He originally thought that history had changed, or that some of the historical records were wrong, or that the timeline was wrong.
But he hadn't expected that Agalon's outcome wouldn't change. This might have been a predestined fate, the fate of an Astrologer.
In the records, ten years from now, the Starry Sky College would encounter a strange destruction. In one night, the Starry Sky College would be razed to the ground, as if a huge monster had devoured the entire Starry Sky College. Agalon then stepped on the Starry Sky Path and thoroughly disappeared from Noscent, never to be seen again until Noscent's end.
Hearing Agalon's words, Lin Yun suddenly understood. Agalon hadn't disappeared, but rather, he had fallen after stepping into the Starry Sky Path.
The Starry Sky College was razed to the ground overnight, and the reestablished Starry Sky College was established by the survivors of the Starry Sky College.
Fortunately, when the Starry Sky College was established, it was different from ordinary mage forces. Apart from a few important places, the Starry Sky College was only a special college with students all over Noscent. Many alchemists that hadn't studied alchemy in the Starry Sky College would have many places to study in the Holy Land of Alchemy every year.
The Starry Sky College's connections covered almost all of Noscent. This was why the Starry Sky College was able to reestablish itself after being reduced to a 3rd rate force overnight.
Here, alchemy was the only thing. By relying on alchemy, the Starry Sky College rose again and quickly stabilized its position as the Holy Land of Alchemy.
After all, the Starry Sky College had many subsidiary forces, and most of them supported the Starry Sky College's reestablishment after its destruction.
Up until a few millennia later, when that terrifying genius appeared in the Starry Sky College and subdued the Whispering Crystal, the Starry Sky College truly stood at the peak of Noscent.
Recalling these matters, Lin Yun didn't know how to refuse, because this matter was extremely beneficial to him. If he could take charge of the Starry Sky College, it would be equivalent to controlling most of Noscent's first-rate alchemists. The Starry Sky College's three deans were all Saint Alchemists. If he focused on nurturing them, he might be able to nurture even more Saint Alchemists in the future.
When building the Shelter Tower in the future, the problem of alchemists might be easily solved. The Starry Sky College's alchemists, alchemy techniques, as well as the Starry Sky College's connections, these were all things that couldn't be estimated.
On the other hand, Lin Yun couldn't bear to refuse Agalon's invitation. It had been so long, but this was the first time he was discussing Noscent's end with someone, and it was someone who was about to die. Lin Yun couldn't refuse.
"Sir Agalon, I can consider agreeing, but I can't give you an answer now. After all, there are still ten years."
Agalon smiled, not minding in the slightest.
"It doesn't matter. After all, now that you've agreed, I can't directly pass my position to you. You're still too weak. In ten years, I'll help you improve quickly. I'll train you and guide you. After ten years, I'll at least let you reach my current strength, or even surpass my current strength.
"Only then can I be at ease handing over the Starry Sky College to you. Your Demiplane is far more perfect than mine, and it can be said to have been developed flawlessly. When I was at the 7th Rank of the Heaven realm, my Demiplane developed to your current level. Or it could be said that it's inferior to your Demiplane.
"My death is fast approaching. If there isn't a miracle in ten years, I might only be able to maintain my current appearance. But you are different, you will be stronger than me, a lot stronger.
"If you still want to find the truth of the destruction after my death, then I'll give you a suggestion. Go to the Starry Sky Battlefield. There might be clues there, and it might even be the truth.
"But before that, it would be best for you not to step onto the Starry Sky Path with your current strength."
Agalon's words had just fallen when Lin Yun suddenly felt a kind of formidable power appear in front of him. It was so fast that he couldn't react. He only had time to raise a Fusion Shield before his body was sent flying as if it was wrapped in a translucent ball.
After flying a dozen meters, the world before Lin Yun's eyes seemed to have changed. The originally clear sky seemed to have transformed into an endless starry sky. Everything in the surroundings had completely disappeared. Only the hilltop under his feet remained, but he could only see the starry sky in all directions.
The scorching sun was hanging in the distant starry sky, but he couldn't feel the slightest bit of heat. Meteors were rapidly flying through the starry sky, dragging trails of countless stars.
But Lin Yun wasn't in the mood to enjoy this somewhat shocking scenery, because whether it was the sun, the starlight, or even the space, they all seemed to have gained consciousness and were rejecting him. He seemed to have suddenly turned into a parasite of this boundless starry sky. All the Laws were pressuring him, as if they wanted to erase him from this world.
Lin Yun didn't have time to react. The entire world was filled with malice, and he instinctively started rousing the power of the Natural Demiplane. Suffering the rejection of the Laws, the rejection of the world, the Natural Demiplane automatically appeared.
A three-meter-big Demiplane's shadow appeared behind Lin Yun. After the Demiplane's shadow appeared, the projection of the Laws also appeared under this pressure. The Laws within three meters around Lin Yun were the Laws of the Demiplane.
But how could a three-meter-big projection resist the rejection of the entire starry sky? Just one glance was enough to give birth to boundless despair.
If an ordinary person suddenly appeared in the starry sky, they definitely wouldn't feel that boundless beautiful scenery, they would feel a great fear. That was the fear of their own insignificance and the boundless world.
After the entire starry sky was filled with malice, this fear was like an instinct that made one's soul shiver.
The Demiplane's projection was only three meters big, which was already compressed to its limit. As for the Demiplane's Law projection, it was continuously compressed. In a few seconds, it was compressed from three meters to one meter, just enough to protect Lin Yun.
It was like standing at the bottom of the sea, a terrifying pressure coming from all directions, and the defense was only a one-meter-diameter cylinder. If it was compressed again, even if the defense didn't break, his body would be directly squeezed into a meat patty.
After the Law projection's defense shrunk to one meter, the shrinking speed slowed down, but it was still slowly shrinking. Lin Yun could only try to control the Natural Demiplane from there.
Although the Natural Demiplane was already completely under his control, he could only fully control the Natural Demiplane with the power of the 2nd Rank of the Heaven realm. Moreover, this control was limited. It was like an ordinary Sword Saint obtaining Xiuban's Carnage. Even if they could pick it up, they wouldn't be able to use it as a weapon.
Within the Natural Demiplane, Lin Yun could still use his own power to mobilize the Demiplane's power, but outside, it was like giving Xiuban's Carnage to an ordinary person. Even if the other party was exhausted, they wouldn't be able to move Carnage even a bit.
After testing it out, Lin Yun gave up on the idea of controlling the Demiplane from outside and instead started strengthening his connection with the Demiplane. He slowly roused his own comprehension of the Laws to resonate with the Demiplane's Laws.
That way, the Demiplane would take the initiative to project more Law projections to resist the Laws outside. Just that bit was enough to ensure that he wouldn't be crushed into a meat patty.
By the time the Law projections were compressed to the point where they were about to touch Lin Yun's body, the inside and outside finally reached a deadlock.
Lin Yun paled as he looked at Agalon walking out of the wooden house with a satisfied smile. He didn't say a word as he used all his power to resist this kind of pressure.
Agalon nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, your reaction speed is not bad. As a mage, especially after advancing to the Extraordinary realm, the changes in the Laws are countless. You can't guarantee that you can detect any danger ahead of time, but you can react as quickly as possible when danger approaches.
"Your battle awareness is not bad, but your fighting style is too simple. After all, Extraordinary Spells are completely different from ordinary spells. You might have already discovered it when you encountered that dark curse mage of the Jackson Family.
"There are too many fighting styles of Extraordinary lifeforms, it's hard to guard against them. Grasping more spells and being flexible in using spells is the key. In a fight at the same rank, if there isn't too big of a gap between Extraordinary Power and mana, the most direct way to use Extraordinary Spells is to use the most suitable spells. That is the best fighting style.
"The Natural Demiplane can let you have almost unlimited mana. When dealing with ordinary powerhouses, relying on boundless mana to directly suppress them is the best method. But if you meet someone with similar strength, that fighting style will lose its effect. Only Extraordinary Power can play a crucial role against Extraordinary lifeforms.
"I don't need to teach you this. With the Natural Demiplane, your advantage will keep increasing. The stronger you are, the more useful the Natural Demiplane will be. The development of the Natural Demiplane will directly affect your strength in the future."
Agalon slowly said a bunch of things, but Lin Yun paled. He did his best to resist, but he couldn't say a single word.
'Damn, being suppressed by the changed Laws, what's the problem with spells and fighting style …'
Lin Yun inwardly slandered him, but he could only listen with all his strength.
Agalon slowly walked to Lin Yun 'side and circled around him. He looked at Lin Yun's Demiplane projection and sighed.
"This is truly a perfect Natural Demiplane. Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind are stable, and even the four poles have appeared. The Darkness and Light Laws are already being nurtured, and there is even a Godfire … No, it should be a huge Godfire Ember acting as the sun.
"The newly established Demiplane is even more integrated into the center of the Natural Demiplane. While strengthening the Natural Demiplane, it also speeds up the control of the Natural Demiplane.
"Whether it's fighting style, spells, or even Law comprehension, I have nothing to teach you. You should find something that suits you, that's the best.
