Before he calmed down, waves of spiritual power, adjusted by the ritual of 'Origin of Magic', flowed to Lucien gently at his own frequency.
In the meantime, the whole deep and boundless cosmos trembled slightly, and mysterious power was gathered on the projection of Lucien's Host Star of Destiny. Because it was hosted by Fernando in person, the terrifying blackness behind it, which seemed to be able to swallow everything, was not ignored.
The projection of the Host Star of Destiny hummed and trembled at a high speed. Lucien also meditated out of his cognitive world, making the Host Star of Destiny inside shake too. The two gradually synchronized. Lucien had the feeling that the real world was fading away, and his cognitive world was surrounding his body and his soul.
After half-solidification, his cognitive world could already map and influence the real world according to Lucien's will. Therefore, Lucien gradually spread out the feeling and changed everything around.
At the center of the ritual, the star was vaguely curved, and the symbols of elements in different colors flashed. Inside the star, there was an internal structure made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. They were splitting and congregating from one to ten thousand, producing the colorful elements of the material world. From ten thousand to one, it seemed to have become a pure iron universe.
Lucien's legendary class, 'Atom Controller', did not seem to overlap with the path of quantum mechanics that he wanted to walk on. Only the electrons that flashed in the cloud of probability connected everything. However, quantum mechanics was developed on the basis of the exploration of the microscopic world in the first place. The studies on electrons alone had led to many astounding and unbelievable results. Gradually, other microscopic particles were included, and the remaining two of the four fundamental forces — the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force — were recognized. Then, many developments were made on that basis. The standard model of particles was established, and the electromagnetic force and the weak nuclear force were unified.
Therefore, the shabby model of the nucleus was gradually deepened and developed into the standard model of particles without changing the foundation.
After a long time, the influence of the pure cognitive world 'touched' Lucien's body and felt the magnificent power that it contained.
Beyond the body, the cognitive world and the soul met in the material world. Under its influence, the star-like magic model constructed inside the soul suddenly lit up, releasing pure and dreamy brilliance.
Lucien felt that his soul was shaking, and his ability to think and manipulate the mapping of his cognitive world was greatly reduced. He had to pay ten times the price before to continue the work of modifying his soul.
The magic model was vaguely curved like real stars, and the matter that made up his soul was stained with the light spots of elements in different colors. Lucien's mind was gradually raised, and he was caught in the amazing feeling that he was looking at himself from above.
The shaking of his soul was more and more intense. The edge of his soul became blurred, and it began to connect with the unpredictable cognitive world. Then, it seemed to be detached from his body and expanded into a flickering cloud, trying to envelop the cognitive world from the outside. At this point, Lucien's spiritual power, which had not reached the standard of the ninth circle yet, was almost exhausted. However, the spiritual power transformed by the six grand arcanists through the ritual of Origin of Magic was like an endless ocean that was at his disposal.
With the feeling of superiority, Lucien calmed down the quakes caused by the fusion of the two with his spiritual power and replenished the consumed energy. He watched the cognitive world slowly shrink and develop into his soul, accommodating the magic models and so on.
The triple curtain was formed. The outer layer was the soul, and the inner layer was the cognitive world. Inside the cognitive world, there were many impressions and magic models, as if everything was under his control.
Dwelling in the wonderful feeling, Lucien suddenly felt the pain as if his soul was being torn apart. He knew that the most difficult part of the preliminary fusion had come, especially when the essence of his soul was not close to the legendary level yet!
His cognitive world suddenly expanded violently, tearing apart the illusionary soul that enveloped it at the outer layer.
The pain from the deepest part of his soul made Lucien almost give up, but his persistence and the perils that he had been through for a long time made him grit his teeth and hold on. Guiding the gentle power from the ritual of Origin of Magic to repair his soul, he enjoyed the pain!
Very soon, the indescribable pain reached the peak. Lucien felt that his soul was full of wounds, and he would rather die. Also, the power of the ritual of Origin of Magic could not repair his soul so quickly anymore.
If it were any other time, Lucien felt that he would've passed out, because the pain was beyond the limits of his body and his soul and would've triggered their self-protection reactions. However, right now, his mind seemed to be detached from his soul. The more pain he felt, the clearer his mind became. There was no sign that he would pass out at all.
Lucien knew that as long as his mind returned at this moment, the pain would be gone, but the ritual would completely fail.
Having no extra thoughts to recall his life experiences or to curse fate and choke it, Lucien had only one thought in his head at this moment, which was to persist, persist, and persist!
At some point, the unimaginable pain gradually weakened, and the 'resistance' of his cognitive world became softer and softer. Although his soul was riddled with holes, it was full of tenacity and supported by the power transformed from the ritual of Origin of Magic.
Lucien was about to take a breath in relief, when unpredictable colors that did not belong to this world suddenly glowed in his soul. The Library of the Soul that had been with him since he transmigrated surfaced at this moment!
Inside the Library of the Soul, the seals of the books were unlocked one after another. Then, as if Lucien was flying higher and higher, the library became smaller and smaller until it could not be seen anymore. In its place, a beautiful, dreamy planet covered in a blue ocean appeared.
Earth?
Lucien had indescribable feelings in his heart.
Earth was smaller and smaller as Lucien flew higher and higher. The sun, the eight planets and poor Pluto were connected into a line, like a picture in his imagination.
The solar system?
Lucien's feeling of looking down on everything did not stop. Even the solar system was smaller than before, and the countless stars seemed to have congregated into a surging galaxy.
"Don't indulge in the illusion of advancing into legendary. Guide the power into the cognitive world inside your soul." Fernando's stern voice echoed next to Lucien's ears. Although they could not sense the changes inside Lucien's soul, they could tell what phase he was at based on his external features.
Illusion? Was it an illusion?
Lucien was very confused, but he did not waste any time and guided the ocean-like power of the ritual of Origin of Magic into his soul, guiding it to the struggling cognitive world in the end.
The humming came to an abrupt end, and a terrifying storm of energy was raised in his cognitive world. After the magic model of 'Atom Fission' was filled with them, the symbols glowed one after another and completely melted with his soul, just like the other magic models from the first circle to the ninth circle!
Boom!
In a soundless explosion, the magic model of 'Atom Fission' was quickly constructed without any redundant manipulation. That was the 'privilege' of the grand arcanists who had a new legendary class and fundamental magic through the power that changed the era!
The energy continued surging, but the magic model of 'Eternal Blaze' gave his soul the illusion that it was about to explode when it only slightly glowed. Then, it quieted down without any unnecessary reaction.
Even though it was a fundamental legendary spell, Lucien had to be level-three of legendary to construct it, or his soul wouldn't have been able to bear it!
The energy was still flowing. Countless complicated symbols of the legendary class' Atom Controller 'glowed with' Atom Fission 'as the center. In the end, they congregated into one and unleashed unimaginable spiritual waves, repairing the soul and improving its essence.
Lucien sensed the rapid growth of his soul in silence. He sensed that it had turned from the weakness a moment ago into fullness and then expanded, as if it were about to burst apart.
Without panicking, Lucien condensed the storm of energy and the waves of spiritual power, projecting and venting them to the void outside!
Hualala. The surging tides of an ocean echoed, creating a tiny demiplane in the void before him.
The demiplane expanded quickly. While absorbing the materials for the legendary advancement ritual of 'Atom Controller', it changed according to Lucien's cognitive world. This was a boundless starry sky. Every star was made up of two different colors, and it was surrounded by a number of illusory and traceless "artificial planets". They seemed to be able to appear anywhere, but upon closer inspection, they really existed there.
The planet that represented the element of iron grew larger and larger, turning into the core of the cosmos and the place where Lucien's magic tower would be located in the future.
The demiplane trembled softly and gradually stabilized. A space node was directly connected to Lucien's soul, allowing him to jump back to his own demiplane wherever he was as long as there were no forces that interfered with space teleportation. His survival ability was greatly improved.
After the demiplane was completely stabilized, Lucien opened his eyes, only to see that the illusionary cosmos of destiny was gone. The materials for the advancement ritual were gone, and the materials for the Origin of Magic ritual had all been shattered.
Sensing the influence on the real world and the terrifying power, Lucien said delightedly:
"Is this the power of a legend?"
Fernando asked loudly, "What's the name of your legendary class?"
"Atom Controller," said Lucien with a smile.
"The name of your demiplane?"
Walk into science … Lucien almost blurted out, but he managed to hold back his bad taste. "The internal structure of an atom is somewhat similar to the cosmos. The microscopic world is like a fractal universe. So, it's called 'Atomic Universe'."
"A combination of the minimal and the maximal. Not bad." Oliver complimented.
Douglas smiled. "Go back and get used to the changes of your soul and your spiritual power first. The day after tomorrow will be your first meeting of the Highest Council."
"Yes, Mr. President." Lucien's attitude remained respectful.
Fernando and Lucien walked out together and suggested solemnly, "You have to choose your legendary spells carefully. I know that there should be two basic spells of 'Observer of Time and Space' in your cognitive world, which are easier to learn than other legendary spells. However, a level-one legend can only construct three legendary spells at the beginning. As your strength grows, the number will gradually increase. The maximum is six. So, you have to choose a good combination and consider the needs of attack, defense, escape, control, and other aspects. "
"Master, I understand. I'll choose my legendary spells carefully after I'm stabilized." Lucien nodded his head softly.
It was common sense for legendary sorcerers. As their level increased, they would be able to learn more legendary spells, their demiplanes would be more complete, and their projections would be more powerful. A level-two legend could learn ten legendary spells at most, a level-three legend could learn fifteen, and a top legend like Mr. President could learn twenty-one. Also, the advancement of every level involved the deeper integration of the soul and the cognitive world, as well as the deepening of the half-solidification of the cognitive world.
Fernando nodded his head. "Keep your advancement a secret for now. Just mention it to your queen. We won't talk about it in the meeting of the Highest Council, either. After all, the title of grand arcanist will grant you all the privileges. By then, if the Church has designs on you, they will be very 'surprised'."
The Lord of the Undead was not invited this time partly because he was in an alternate dimension, and partly because the Hand of Paleness was not on good terms with Lucien.
… …
Inside Babel …
Sitting on the couch lazily, Lucien turned on the magic radio and listened to Mr. President's speech:
"… I admit that I'm confused about the nature of gravity, but the supreme being that I'm referring to is the truth of the world and the rules of the universe. It has nothing to do with gods …"
"… On the path of arcana, I have a lot of questions, confusion, and arduous explorations just like you do. The only difference is that I'm further than you for now, and maybe I'll be surpassed by you in the future. Therefore, I don't represent the truth of arcana. Your logical deduction and observation are the truth. Your rigorous experiment data and results are the truth. Only the arcana studies based on everything are meaningful. Everything else is just in the category of philosophy …"
"… The universe is so vast that we can only stagger forward in awe, but never give up …"
"… This time, Benedict III has shown us his understanding and application of the spells of the ancient Magic Empire. It shows that he is far behind us and is still in the bloody and barbaric phase. It shows that we are on the right path …"
Listening to Mr. President's speech in silence, Lucien put on a smile.
