Wizards are mighty.

Chapter 197

(The illusory Vic finally finished telling the story)

……

"As the wizarding world gradually conquers the multiverse, it will continue to absorb the power of other systems and use it for its own benefit. This is one of the core factors that enable the wizarding world to prosper and even continue to develop."

"The wizarding world's absorption of other power systems can be roughly divided according to the level of assimilation. Of course, deeper and deeper assimilation only differs in degree, and does not mean that it is powerful or not."

"Assimilation Level 1 means that the system becomes a subsidiary system of the wizard power system. It is only accepted by wizards in the wizarding world and is allowed to be used and improved by wizards' subordinates, slaves, and servants. Wizards themselves do not have a deep understanding of this system, or only have a grasp of the source of the system."

"Assimilation Level 2 means that the system has been initially accepted by wizards. Wizards have assimilated the underlying logic of the power system and made preliminary connections between it and the wizard system, allowing the wizards' magic power to be involved in the system."

"Assimilation Level 3 means that part of this system has been integrated into the wizard system and has become a branch of the wizard system. Wizards have grafted this power system onto the wizard system, making it easier for wizards to learn and control it."

"Assimilation level 4 means that the system has been largely integrated into the wizard system and has become one of the mainstream special systems in wizard civilization. There are usually a large number of wizards who master this system. Although they still need to conduct special training outside the wizard system, there are much less extra things to do."

"Assimilation level 5 means that the system has been completely integrated into the wizard system and has become one of the wizard schools. A large number of wizards have studied this school and made contributions to it. Wizard civilization has completely devoured the essence of these power systems and turned them into its own power."

Having said this, the illusory Vic paused.

"Just give me some examples."

"Examples of assimilation level 1: various systems of cultivation for slaves and cannon fodder of wizard civilization, systems of gods, etc."

"Examples of assimilation level 2: Systems used by wizards for trusted subordinates, meritorious aliens, etc. In addition, some wizards will also learn some such systems out of curiosity or other reasons."

"Example of assimilation level 3: The power system that wizards use to assist their own wizard system training, used to avoid the side effects of extensive use of the wizard system."

"Examples of assimilation level 4: various secrets and unique skills of wizards, and the derivative secrets and specialized witchcraft of various schools."

"Examples of assimilation level 5: various schools of wizard civilization, such as technological wizards, body-refining wizards, secret wizards, arcane wizards (hedge and inclusive wizards), and countless scattered power systems that have been integrated into major schools such as elemental wizards."

"Of course, in the history of the multiverse, there is more than just the wizarding civilization as a dominant civilization."

"There are many dominant civilizations in the history of the multiverse, so I won't introduce them one by one."

"Let's talk about a few civilizations that have had a relatively large influence."

"3 million years ago, the multiverse was in a period of chaos, with civilizations divided and no dominant civilization standing at the top of the multiverse."

"After 3 million years in the multiverse, the ancient civilization developed to its peak, and its sphere of influence covered most of the multiverse. It tried to break through the upper limit of the multiverse and control the multiverse consciousness, but unfortunately failed. The civilization was destroyed, but the seeds still remained."

"The multiverse calendar lasted from 3 million to 9 million years, which was a chaotic period for the multiverse. During this period, many heroes in the multiverse fought for supremacy, and a large number of powerful civilizations emerged."

"But none of them have become a dominant civilization."

"After 9-10 million years of the multiverse, Earth civilization reached its peak." "Earth civilization originated on Earth and is one of the civilizations with humans as the main body."

"Earth civilization has had a profound impact on later civilizations. Their culture, values, and so on have spread far and wide in later generations, and their traces are found throughout the multiverse."

"It's a feat they have to thank for."

"After Earth civilization absorbed the lessons of the old civilization, they tried to use Earth as the core of the multiverse, strengthen Earth's plane consciousness, and thus devour the multiverse and seize the status of the multiverse."

"Unfortunately, they still failed."

"But before the backlash, Earth civilization left its mark on the multiverse forever."

"Since then, the multiverse has been dominated by the culture of human civilization."

"Later, most of the powerful hegemonic civilizations can be said to be the successors of Earth civilization in some sense."

"For example, in the 32 billion years of the Multiverse, the Immortal Civilization reached its peak. After learning from the lessons of countless previous civilizations, the Immortal Civilization finally accomplished a feat that countless previous civilizations had not accomplished. It erased the consciousness of the Multiverse and entered the era of the Immortal Civilization."

"After 33 billion years of the multiverse, the immortal civilization tried to develop further. Finally, according to the latest concept, it gathered the power of the entire multiverse and ascended as a clan, trying to prove eternity. Only the fallen immortal civilization was left to isolate itself, and the whereabouts of the main body of civilization is unknown."

"Including our wizarding civilization itself, it has also been deeply influenced by Earth civilization and the various cultures they left behind."

After introducing all this in one breath, the illusory Vic paused.

"Then, this is the last setting recorded by the 'author'."

"This is a setting about the time of the multiverse."

"Unlike the solidity of the main timeline of the multiverse, the timelines of some worlds are easily manipulated, and the timelines of some worlds are not connected to the main timeline of the multiverse."

"Therefore, in order to prevent their own civilization from leaving any big loopholes in time, basically all multiverse civilizations will link their own civilization's timeline with the multiverse's main timeline, leaving only some areas with different time rules."

"This way, it will be much easier to defend against attacks on time rules."

"Of course, the main timeline of the multiverse can also be created after we have mastered the entire world."

“These settings don’t actually have a big impact on us.”

“But we can still learn from them some of the ways in which higher narratives shape our own narrative.”

“Not everything the ‘author’ wrote came true 100%, but most of it came true in some way.”

“This is very helpful for us to understand the influence relationship between different narrative layers.”
