"You flatter me, Your Highness! Compared to the era when your mother was the Greek God Ananke, what I have here pales in comparison. "
Li Mochen shook his head and looked at the sky above the tower. "I think the power of fate you sensed mostly came from this' Lance of Longinus'. In addition, I have to thank Your Highness. The 'Book of Fate' you gave me has also benefited me a lot. "
The price the Goddess of Magic paid when she made the covenant with him was the goddess' understanding of fate.
Although Hecate was only the Tripartite Goddess of Opportunity, she was still Nix's daughter, and she received a lot of gifts from her mother on the day she was born. Later on, this goddess of opportunity gained a foothold in thousands of years, and it was inevitable that she would draw parallels and see other wonders of fate.
Just five years ago, Diana copied all her understanding of fate into a strange book and gave it to him.
The price was that Li Mochen and the Wildenstein family would fully support the goddess in building a "magic network" in the future. In other words, she would deprive all spellcasters of the right to cast spells and force all people and creatures to cast spells through the "magic network". With the power of the network, she would ban the use of powerful forbidden spells and theocracy in the main material world.
Of course, the price Diana paid was far more than that. In addition to the "Book of Fate", she also took out a lot of extra things.
Li Mochen also readily agreed. This was something that could benefit all living beings, although it would suppress the extraordinary power of this world. However, correspondingly, the "Biochemical Implants" produced by Xuri Corporation and the "Magic Armor" produced by the Light and Magic Industry would have a more important position in the military and the magic profession.
In addition, considering that this world of light would become his most important source of faith in the future, Li Mochen had to ensure the safety of all living beings and believers in this world in most cases.
In the end, for Li Mochen, who was about to leave the world of light as a god, the level of magic power in the main material world was actually irrelevant.
Li Mochen also sensed that the origin power of this world was responding to what Diana was doing. To this world, this was no less than the merit of Nuwa mending the heavens in the legends of the East.
Li Mochen felt that it was necessary for him to intervene. This would allow the Divine Firmament Spirit Providence Purple-Gold Pagoda to accumulate more merit light.
Over the past seven years, the seven-colored spiritual light that lingered on the pagoda had accumulated nearly 200,000 wisps after he used a large amount of the power of destiny, the origins of the world, and the truth of nature, as well as the refinement of Mythical equipment. However, Li Mochen still felt hungry and felt that this little bit of accumulation was far from enough.
The power of the Divine Firmament Purple-Gold Pagoda was undeniable. As Li Mochen's understanding of the power of destiny continued to increase, he also felt that this artifact was more and more unfathomable.
Li Mochen even suspected that within this pagoda, there might be a Truth-level Divine Right of 'Destiny' and 'Temporal Order'.
But even so, if he wanted to borrow the power of the Divine Firmament Purple-Gold Pagoda to kill a King of Angels, he still needed a large amount of merit as a foundation.
"Only from the Sacred Lance of Longinus? But what I sensed is definitely not just that. Your Highness Wildenstein, are you underestimating my power as a King of Gods? Or are you doubting my knowledge as Nix's daughter? "
Diana laughed, her eyes solemn. "I sensed the power of destiny here that surpasses my mother's. So, I guess my gift to you is also negligible. "
She already understood why Li Mochen would stubbornly choose destiny as the core of his Great Dao. With such extraordinary talent, no matter how absurd and difficult his choice seemed to others, it was difficult to say that he was conceited.
Li Mochen did not say anything else. It would be pretentious to continue saying humble words, and this was not popular in the West. In terms of destiny, he was indeed more confident than Ah Nan.
If the ancient Goddess of Destiny was as rumored, even at her peak, she was only a Medium Divinity —
"As you can see, this is the Magic Tower of Destiny's half plane. I recently invited those dragons here, and they seem to like it here."
Diana had long noticed that there were a total of 24 dragons active in this half plane. They were all demigod-level adult dragons, and there were dragons of both metal and color. They had placed the dragon's den here, and most of them were in deep sleep. Only a few of them roamed between the plane gaps and the astral plane.
This half plane with a diameter of 40 kilometers could not provide them with space to fly freely, but in the boundless void, there was still a place for them to stretch their muscles.
Diana seemed to be deep in thought. "It seems that Your Highness has already completed the forbidden spell of life and death, right? Life Constancy? Or Death Abstinence? "
Diana could see their condition clearly. The lives of these twenty-four giant dragons had clearly come to an end. However, their life force had already been bound to the Magic Tower of Destiny.
As long as the Magic Tower of Destiny was not destroyed, these dragons would exist forever unless they were killed directly. This was one of the effects of Life Constancy and Death Abstinence.
These two forbidden spells were mostly used by mages themselves, making them almost indestructible in battle. But other than that, they could also be used to recruit strong fighters. Through the power of the latter, they could also cause large-scale damage, which was why the Association of Mages recognized them as forbidden spells!
This was a terrifying spell with almost limitless potential. These 24 dragons had thousands of years of accumulation. If they did not die in the future, they would sooner or later become ancient dragons, or even primordial dragons.
However, Life Constancy and Death Abstinence were also the most difficult forbidden spells to learn. These were spells from the Outer Realms, and even the World of Light had not been able to master them.
"It should be said that they have both!"
Li Mochen looked regretful. "Unfortunately, these two forbidden spells can only work on demigods, and there's a limit to their number."
The specific number depended on the number of floors of the Magic Tower. Currently, there were only 24 spots for Life Constancy and Death Abstinence.
"So, the rest are all mages, right? Come to think of it, I've felt strange before. The operation of your Magic Tower seems to have always been in the best state, reaching the limit of what it can achieve. "
Diana's tone was very complicated. She almost lost her composure and couldn't help but complain about Li Mochen. Wasn't 48 demigods enough to satisfy this guy? Even the number of demigod powerhouses directly controlled by the Amelican government was not much higher than this number.
It was no wonder that the Sunrise Light and Magic Alliance had been looking down on the government of America recently.
Just a while ago, Diana had communicated with the Statue of Liberty. She could feel that even the woman who liked to fan the flames, enjoy the frequent conflicts in the world, and enjoy attacking the Church of Light was now showing some regret.
"More or less, but demigod mages are relatively rare in this world, and it's a waste to use them here. So, I recruited some spellcasters from the abyss, hell, and even other realms. Their ability is only below that of mages. "
As he spoke, Li Mochen waved his magic power and opened the door of the Magic Tower. "I have to say sorry, Your Highness Diana, I can only open the eighth floor of this Magic Tower to you at most. The part above is related to my core secret. "
"Understandable …"
At this time, Diana's attention was on the edge of this demiplane.
The Magic Tower of Destiny could be said to be surrounded by stars at this time. She saw Rafat de Robespierre's' Scepter of Destruction ', Consueley Wildenstein's' Silent Crown ', Jennifer Wildenstein's newly built' Conservation of Energy ', the' Primordial Shadow Dragon Yvette's' Dragon's Lair of the Void, the 'Primordial Giant Batram's' Wooden Boat of Time, and the ancient magician 'Paracelsus's' Magic Tower's' Omnipotent Substance '.
Diana thought to herself, sure enough, this magician with the title of First Prime, who was no less powerful than Constantine at his peak couldn't resist the temptation of life in the end.
Although the resurrection power of the Sacred Spear of Longinus was magical, the conditions were quite harsh. It had to maintain the relative integrity of the soul and the body. But for Paracelsus, this was not a very difficult thing.
Apart from that, Diana also saw two blood-colored stone coffins made of a special material in the void. The powerful blood-colored halo outside the two sarcophagi dyed half of the void red.
She was not surprised by this. There were rumors a long time ago that the ancestors of the Blood Race, Lilith and Cain, were seriously injured and subdued by this Mister Wildenstein Jr., who was strong enough to fight against the main gods, not long after their awakening.
This could be seen from the state of the Blood Race in recent years. Except for the Devil Party, which was still unruly, the other clans showed their obedience and submission to the Wildenstein family.
Together with the 'Blood-eyed Angel' Robert Yvonne, 'Dragon Lady of Calamity' Hazel Wildenstein, 'Lord of the Void Night' Delphinia Edrick, who had already become a demigod, and the five Ancients of the Blood Race — this was the power of the Wildenstein family, or rather, Li Mochen himself, in the divine realm!
It was because of this power, which was considered powerful even in the eyes of the Light Church, that the Wildenstein family was able to force the Church to swallow the bitter fruit of having the Sacred Spear of Longinus stolen. Until now, they did not dare to launch a direct counterattack.
"This is the first level. As you can see, there are eight directions here. As you can see, there are eight magic pools. On the left is a rune production and maintenance workshop, on the right is a basic library, and on the opposite side is a large dormitory and living area, which can accommodate about a hundred magic apprentices. Of course, I have no intention of accepting apprentices, so this place is destined to be empty — "
Li Mochen walked up the stairs as he introduced the place to Diana.
The latter's attention was still on other places. She was more concerned about the magic energy protection array here. It was a classic Constantine style, gorgeous and magnificent, meticulous and tight, filled with the beauty of the Baroque era.
However, it wasn't all Constantine's doing. Diana, the God of Magic, was the one who had done all this. As the God of Magic, Diana could see that about sixty percent of the magic patterns were made by others. Some of them were logical, but slightly immature, complicated, and not refined enough, and most likely came from the hands of the magician who was known as the Master of Fate.
However, their overall combination was very harmonious. They were perfectly integrated, and their logic was tight, without any flaws. Thanks to the eight magic pools on this floor, the power of this layer of magic protection array had already reached, or even surpassed the level of resisting forbidden spells. It was probably slightly stronger than the mid-level Divine Right 'Protection' that she currently had.
The problem was that Li Mochen was also an existence who also had all kinds of defensive concepts of Divine Right. Once he ascended to the position of God, with the body of the God of War, he could control all kinds of offensive and defensive Divine Right, further strengthening their effects.
And the enemies who attacked this magic tower would face the combined effects of the protection array, as well as the Divine Right of Sturdiness, Unbreakable, Magic Resistance, Eternal, Unyielding, Defense, and other Divine Right effects.
The one guarding this floor of the magic tower was a Purgatory Servant from Hell.
This was a powerful type of devil in Hell. They were either extremely powerful warriors or powerful mages. They had never formed an independent force in Hell. Most of them were close servants, and they filled the palaces of various Lords of Hell, or even Monarchs. Because they were far more loyal than other kinds of devils, they were very popular among the Lords of Hell. And a Demigod Purgatory Servant was usually the first choice for a close servant or the leader of the Imperial Guards.
Such a powerful and reliable existence was only used to guard the first floor of this magic tower?
"This is enough, Your Highness Wildenstein."
Diana stopped Li Mochen, who had already stepped onto the stairs. "I can roughly guess what's going on up there."
There was a saying in the East that one spot could tell the whole picture. For a Goddess of Magic like her, the moment she entered this magic tower, she could already infer the structure of this tower.
But if Li Mochen didn't intend to open the structure above the eighth floor to her, Diana wouldn't be able to see much more even if they continued to go up.
Besides, Diana more or less knew how to avoid arousing suspicion. Magic towers were the foundation for mages to reach the root and the truth. Their core secrets were hidden here.
If they weren't extremely close, they usually wouldn't allow others to enter the core of the magic tower.
Diana's only regret was that she couldn't see Li Mochen's Scarlet Dragon Armor. She couldn't know if there were any new changes to this mythical equipment. Did Li Mochen collect other powers outside of Kukulkan?
But Diana didn't force it. She knew that her ally was still on guard against her, and it was understandable.
"Your Highness Wildenstein, what I'm going to do next may be a bit presumptuous, but please trust me that I mean no harm. This is a congratulatory gift for the completion of your magic tower … "
With this move, Diana's figure suddenly began to change. She materialized three bodies, and her back was pressed against each other's.
The three figures all had different faces, and the essence of their aura and power were also different. They represented her three phases — the Goddess of Opportunity, the Goddess of Magic, and the Goddess of Ghosts and Hell.
At this moment, the three gods were each holding two mythical equipment. They were two staffs made of red and blue divine crystals, a necklace of pearls, a rope, a half-handed sword, and a hammer.
She looked solemn, emitting infinite magic aura and divine power that filled the interior of the magic tower. Incomprehensible words were spat out from her mouth. The migration triggered the power of the origin of this world, causing the surrounding magic tides to surge.
Li Mochen's eyes narrowed at first, and a hint of wariness flashed through his instincts. But then he let his guard down and watched this scene calmly.
About three minutes later, when Diana retracted the magnificent Divine Power radiance, the three aspects of her body merged into one. Li Mochen was filled with gratitude as he bowed to this person.
"I didn't expect that Your Highness Diana would grant me such divine grace. I'm very grateful!"
At this moment, all the mageweath arrays inside the magic tower of the "Village of Destiny" gained a mysterious power. This caused all the arrays inside the magic tower to become stronger, smoother, and more powerful!
It was the "magic blessing" of Diana, the Goddess of Magic, a manifestation of the divine authority of magic. It could be understood as the divine authority of permanent magic, and Diana had paid a lot of divine power for it.
"There's no need to thank me, Your Highness Wildenstein."
Diana smiled and helped Li Mochen up. "As your ally, I'm sorry that I can't directly participate in this upcoming battle, but it doesn't mean that I can't do my best for you. Apart from this blessing, as a goddess who masters' magic ',' mystery ', and' truth ', I promise that all the spells and divine authority of you and your subordinates will be used to their greatest effect in this battle. "
Then, her figure turned into strands of light and disappeared. "Finally, blessings to you, Your Highness Wildenstein. I look forward to the time when I can truly call you 'Your Highness'."
…
"Is this goddess reliable? I'm a little worried … "
After Diana left, Hazel's figure appeared next to Li Mochen.
She had been staying at the top of the magic tower, spying on the situation below, and only showed up now.
At this moment, if someone familiar with Hazel was here, they would find that the girl was completely different from the image she usually showed to outsiders.
In Li Mochen's magic tower, her eyes were red and blue, emitting a strange and charming light. On her back, between her shoulder blades. She spread a pair of reddish-gold wings and was wantonly venting the power of ice and fire in this magic tower.
They roughly maintained a balance, but Hazel clearly couldn't harmonize them perfectly. She had to use this method to reduce the pressure inside her body.
But the most surprising thing was that there were golden flames burning under the girl's feet. Although there was no heat, it caused the void around it to expand and contract continuously. That was the fire of divine power, and it was far purer than faith and rules.
"This magic blessing can indeed be a double-edged sword."
Li Mochen knew what Hazel was worried about. If Diana had evil intentions, then the divine power blessing that filled the magic tower was likely to become Diana's fulcrum to attack this magic tower.
"It's not that the Goddess of Magic can't be bribed by our enemies, but there's no need to worry too much. She has a good record of credibility in the past and has never betrayed an ally. And if this one is smart enough, she will understand that she can't find a more suitable ally than me at the moment. "
In this regard, Li Mochen was still very confident.
After all, Diana's magic network was built inside the world of light, and in a situation where Diana herself and the higher gods couldn't descend with their true bodies for various reasons, he, who had the combat power of a main god, was undoubtedly enough to determine the outcome of the battle.
Apart from that, a large part of Diana's magic network that covered America and the ocean relied on the twelve communication satellites currently launched by the Rising Sun Telephone Network Company, as well as the optical cables and signal bases that were set up all over the country and under the sea.
Once Diana decided to abandon her alliance with him, it would delay the completion of the magic network for at least two to three years.
In a situation where those "god-kings" had already begun to return to this world, this was a price that Diana couldn't afford.
"I think so, too."
Hazel's words were filled with curiosity. "But this woman is very ambitious. If she completes the magic network, will she become a new god-king?"
"Yes! But only in this world. Of course, this is also beneficial for her to have a deeper understanding of magic and the mysteries of mystery. "
Li Mochen had a deeper understanding of the world of the gods.
He knew that whether it was the god of faith or the god of laws, they were qualified to advance to the god-king level in the world of light. But their achievements were accomplished by relying on this world, and they couldn't use the power gained from the faith and laws of this world for the outer realm.
Only with the body of an ancient god, that is, a god of the flesh, could they be free from the limitations and constraints of the realms. In most of the worlds in the astral plane, they could use their full strength.
However, it was extremely difficult to reach the level of a Divine King with one's physical body. It required at least one Divine Right to reach the true 'Truth' level. That was a level above 'Advanced', 'Ultimate', and 'Pseudo-Truth'.
Based on this standard, Li Mochen was able to see the truth of the "god-kings" of the outer realms. There were probably only one or two who had truly reached the god-king level. The rest mostly borrowed the power of the world of light to have the strength of a god-king.
Even Nix would only have the strength of a quasi god-king if she left the world of light. Right now, the Night Goddess was focused on spreading her faith in the outer realms, just like the other god-kings. She was trying to use the power of the faith and laws of the other realms to study the truth of the night.
Other than that, the legendary supreme deity could only be achieved by the so-called "ancient gods" of the West, the "Buddhas" of the Sindhu, and the "immortals" of the East. They were existences that had reached the pinnacle of one of the Three Thousand Great Daos.
"That's already very impressive. After all, she's also an ancient god. She'll be another Goddess of Liberty or Night Goddess Nix …"
Hazel sighed softly, her eyes filled with reverie. "I wonder what the power of a truth-level divine right looks like? I wonder when I'll be able to see the source of this world like she does. "
She was already on the path of gods, so she deeply understood the gap between her and the Goddess of Magic.
The girl had always been full of desire for power, and the world's source substance and truth that were gradually revealed before her eyes made her gradually curious and yearning.
After hearing this, Li Mochen couldn't help but smile. Then, he knocked hard on Hazel's head. "You're thinking too much, little girl! Before fantasizing about these things, please control your own power first, okay? Didn't I tell you to go into seclusion? Why did you come out? "
"You said that the path of cultivation should be alternated between tension and relaxation. There's no need to be too tense. Besides … "
Hazel replied confidently, at the same time looking at the void with a cold gaze. "Brother, you're ready to ascend, right? So many people are watching you, how can I just stand by and watch? "
"But I can't rest assured with you like this."
Li Mochen sighed and said with a slightly helpless expression, "If Hazel must go, it's not impossible, but you must move together with Robert and maintain a distance of ten kilometers. Can you do that?"
Hazel had grasped the 'Divine Authority of Ice' and the 'Divine Authority of Silence' three years ago. Her talent and comprehension were abnormally outstanding, and with the guidance of famous teachers like Li Mochen and Kang Xiuli, her progress in these two divine authorities was abnormally fast.
This also had something to do with Li Mochen's excessive enthusiasm. He had used the wishing spell more than once to help Hazel study the laws of ice. This allowed her to temporarily balance the power in her body, and she was able to step into the ancient god realm.
Compared to the laws and gods of faith, the latter was relatively easy to enter as long as one's "power" reached a certain standard.
This condition was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for many people, but it was not a problem at all for Hazel. Dragons were known for their strength and talent in magic, and Hazel, who had both the Blue Dragon and Red Dragon bloodlines, could easily cross that line with the help of the Two Profound Transformation Technique.
However, after entering the ancient god realm, after the power of ice and fire in Hazel's body sublimated, she once again encountered an imbalance. Her control and understanding of the power of ice and silence was relatively stable and perfect. However, in terms of "fire", "disaster", and "misfortune", it showed that she was lacking. She was currently working hard to make up for this deficiency.
So this time, Li Mochen really did not plan to let her participate. After all, in a situation where she had a flaw, Hazel could very likely be taken advantage of by other strong people.
In particular, among the enemies, the King of the Abyss named "Mephithos" was best at taking advantage of the various weaknesses and flaws of the enemy, and one of the most powerful Theocracies of this person was "contradictions" and "loopholes".
There were also those mages who had to be vigilant. Under the right conditions, these demigods and Legendary-mages often killed gods of a higher level.
As for the "Blood-eyed Maid" Robert, her power attribute was relatively simple, but because of this, her divinity and Theocracy were more perfect. She had even pushed the "Divine Right of Wind" and "Battle Wind" to the intermediate level in the past seven years. In addition, she also had the strengthened "Wind God's Tooth" and "Itsumna's Skull", which were powerful mythical weapons.
Although Robert had only achieved the position of a god of laws. Among all of his subordinates, this Blood-eyed Maid was fully deserving of the number one combat power.
With Robert's care, Hazel's safety was guaranteed.
And after forcing the unwilling Hazel to nod gently with his eyes, Li Mochen's figure flickered again. He went directly to the top of the Magic Tower, under the dome that reflected the Astral Realm.
At this time, with a thought from Li Mochen, the projection of a girl began to appear beside him — it was Angela, who was far away in Manhattan. The moment the projection appeared, the girl who was practicing magic there was about to cast her intelligent gaze over.
"Ammo, this is going to start, right?"
"I'm going to advance it by half a day. The time is now."
As Li Mochen spoke, he looked above the dome. "Not long ago, I felt some unfavorable changes from the starry sky. So, Angie, you have to be prepared to deal with everything that may happen over there alone. Of course, Angie, you can also choose to give up and return to my side. I think I still have a way to stop Michelle's attempt. "
"But it will definitely cause large-scale casualties, right? Maybe more than a million people. "
Angela sighed, her beautiful eyes filled with unparalleled determination. "Don't worry, okay? Ammo, I will not be your weakness! This is the meaning of my all-out pursuit of power for the past seven years. Moreover, in Manhattan, I can still ask for help from your ally. Anthony is already a powerful Mechanical Deity. "
"Then be careful, Angie!"
Li Mochen did not try to persuade her anymore. He had already done all the necessary preparations. The purpose of this communication was just to remind her.
"Your enemy is not only the Dragon Witch Cult and your father, but also the seven Angel Kings!"
After ending the communication with Angela, Li Mochen then received another communication request. It was from Kang Xiuli. Ever since Li Mochen built the Village of Destiny Magic Tower to the twelfth floor, this grandfather of his could no longer bypass the magic array of the Magic Tower. Without his permission, he could not directly project his magic projection into the Magic Tower, and he could no longer spy on the situation inside the Magic Tower.
"I can sense that your Magic Tower has entered battle mode. Is it about to begin?"
Kang Xiuli looked younger than seven years ago, and his eyes were filled with strong anticipation.
"At most half an hour!"
Li Mochen replied calmly. "The probability of a battle happening is very low. The 'Sacred Lance of Longinus' and 'Village of Destiny' are enough to shock any Main God. But if they decide to take the risk — "
"Before you have enough strength, I will take over the command of the battle."
Kang Xiuli continued Li Mochen 'words, and at the same time, his tone changed. "So according to your judgment, those powerful existences that are watching you are mostly trying to restrain you? Currently, the place with the highest probability of a battle is actually Angela's side? She still decided to do things her own way? I have to say, that girl is now your biggest weakness. I'm already regretting it now. The help that Michelle Group can bring you is less than I thought. "
"Do you have to make it sound so utilitarian, old man?"
Li Mochen looked at him coldly. "Don't underestimate Angela. She is much stronger and stronger than you think. If my enemies think that she is my weakness, then I believe that Angela will definitely break their claws and teeth. So, don't let me hear such words, old man! You remind me of some bad memories. "
"Oh?"
Kang Xiuli was slightly surprised. He carefully looked at Li Mochen, and found that the latter's expression was serious. He didn't look like he was joking at all. Instead, he raised the corner of his lips. "Then I look forward to it! If she can do what you want, I will apologize to her. But if she can't, I will watch her die in Manhattan. I will do my best to stop your subordinates from going to rescue her. André, in the future, you are destined to sit on the throne of the King of Gods, or even the throne of the King of Gods. And your consort, your queen. She — — "
Li Mochen could roughly guess what Kang Xiuli was going to say next. He couldn't be bothered to listen anymore, and directly ended the communication. If this old man thought that he could interfere with his plans against Angela, then he was thinking too much.
Then, under the starlight shining down from the dome, Li Mochen gradually sank his will into his body. Like a mirror, it reflected the entire void around him, and even the source of the world.
At this moment, the blood, origin energy, true essence, and magic power in Li Mochen's body were all boiling. Under the guidance of Li Mochen's will, they mixed together and began to condense into one.
This was the last step of the Great Art of Two Profound Transformations, and Li Mochen had already crossed the threshold of the Ancient God.
