This crazy wizard is quite stable

Chapter 303 Wizard Version: To continue the lost learning of the sages, to establish a destiny for the people, and to usher in an era of peace for all generations!

In the laboratory, Isaac sat in a chair deep in thought, his fingers lightly tapping a piece of paper on which were written his three main research directions for the future.

The first one is naturally the analysis of Miracle Godhood, which is still dedicated to completing the automated production of virtual deities through a miracle ritual. If this research can really be completed, then the day the ritual is implemented will be the day Isaac becomes a great wizard!
The second was the creation of the Book of Gods.

The Book of Gods, another product of Miracle: Consecration of Gods besides the virtual godhood, allows one to sign a contract with a god, unconditionally use the god's power, and even borrow the power of the contracted god to bind and enslave the god!
This is a prime example of using one god to control another!
Although the power of the Book of Gods seems to have become less important after the advent of Miracle Domination.

After all, the virtual gods bound by the rule of miracles are no different from normal gods of the same rank, even though fourth-rank gods are practically nonexistent in this world...

However, this doesn't have a huge impact. After all, the Book of Gods can't control gods of higher ranks. Making a contract with a god of a higher rank than Isaac is extremely risky, unless the god you're contracting with is a true god.

But given Isaac's identity as a mad witch whom everyone hates, it's already a great favor that the true god would respond to his ritual and sign a contract.

Totally impossible!
Isaac was somewhat self-aware of this.

That's why he's focused his energy on virtual gods all this time. Although he's a mad witch, he actually prefers more stable methods. Safety is more important than anything else.

But things are different now. The Virtual Godhood, a product of Miracle Magic: Godhood, has given Isaac many surprises, and there are still many surprises waiting for Isaac to discover. So, what about the Book of Gods, which is also a product of Miracle Magic: Godhood, just like the Virtual Godhood?

Isaac believed that the Book of Gods must hold many surprises waiting for him to discover, so he needed to refine it in the coming days.

That's where things get complicated.

Unlike virtual deities, which can be created with just divine power, the conditions for creating a Book of Gods are much higher. For example, it requires at least ten strands of divine power!
Moreover, it has to be the divine power of different gods!

Furthermore, the materials required vary depending on the attributes of the divine power used to weave the Divine Book. Fortunately, the most needed general-purpose material and the padding material that improves the tolerance for errors in crafting the Divine Book are Soul Crystals.

Although this thing falls into the category of rare materials, coincidentally, before entering the Infinite Tower, the Terra royal family gave him a treasure in addition to the Miracle Lamp wick—the Mirror of Souls!
A wondrous treasure that can create souls.

Soul crystals are the product of precipitating multiple souls after they have been shattered. In other words, Isaac can have as much of this stuff as he wants!

Isaac had this in mind when he chose this item; soul crystals are a more versatile ritual material than flesh and blood.

Of course, the same applies to mats.

The third one is quite interesting; it concerns the topic of alchemy—"The Possibility of the Popularization of 'Magic Weapons'!"

Magical artifacts, magical items that inspire endless imagination in novels from the past, have different names in works from different cultures, but they all describe roughly the same thing: an item or weapon with magical powers.

Interestingly, in this highly developed wizarding civilization, Isaac did not see anything similar, or rather, it had not been developed, such as magical artifacts.

This thing is clearly a "magic weapon" from a Western fantasy world, but Isaac only saw it when he was at the first and second tiers. After he reached the third tier, this thing almost completely disappeared!

Isaac had gradually lost interest in this thing, and even the growth-type Noble Phantasm that his father had given him was thrown to the Three-Eyed Goblin to use. The reason he turned his attention back to this was still related to the miracle after he advanced to the fourth rank.

The miracle he chose for his advancement was based on the story of "Investiture of the Gods," granting him the magic to create a virtual godhood and a divine book. However, the miracle ritual inscribed within the world's rules rewarded him not with virtual godhood and divine books, but with magical artifacts from "Investiture of the Gods." This caught Isaac's attention, as he felt this might be another path to greatness!
Yes, the great road!
For Isaac now, the path to greatness is no longer so mysterious. To sum it up simply is to continue the lost learning of the sages, to establish a life for the people, and to create peace for all generations!

If this effect can be achieved, then it is the path to greatness.

This conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anyone can discover it by summarizing the patterns, or even without summarizing the patterns, just copy it directly. The examples of the Endless Wilderness and the Endless Sea are there for you. As long as you also create a region where you can obtain unlimited resources, you can also become a great wizard.

but……

This is the hardest step.

As for the magical artifact, or rather, the treasure, after Isaac's research, he discovered that this thing really had the potential to become a great creation!
The reason is simple: after studying the history of wizards, Isaac discovered that the decline of magical artifacts was closely related to the development of wizards!
Logically, with the development of wizarding civilization, magical items like treasures should also have developed, but that's not the case.

As wizarding civilization developed, magic became capable of doing more and more things, and for wizards who mastered magic, the possibilities naturally expanded. When faced with any problem, a wizard's first thought would certainly be whether it could be solved directly with magic.

Instead of relying on props.

This phenomenon became increasingly serious as wizarding civilization developed, which is commonly known as "rolling"!

They wish every wizard were a jack-of-all-trades, capable of handling everything.

This situation caused the development of alchemy to become skewed, gradually shifting towards golems and infrastructure.

In the current wizarding world, most extraordinary equipment consists of various weapons and armor, with extremely limited functions. They either enhance defense or attack, or increase or regenerate mana, without any outstanding features.

Moreover, even these are only used up to the second tier. For the third tier and above, only knights need equipment; wizards mostly rely on themselves.

Even with rare magical artifacts like Francis's Life Derivation Technique and the Mirror of Souls, the first thought a wizard usually has when they get their hands on them is whether they can analyze the artifact's abilities into spells and control them themselves...

Because that's what Isaac did himself.

It's not that this idea is wrong, but having more options makes the world a better place, doesn't it?

Breaking the current mindset in the wizarding world is definitely good for the development of wizarding civilization.

This achievement will most likely be credited as a great accomplishment. The only problem is that if he only gets the start and the subsequent development is completed by other wizards, the credit will most likely not go to him...

Moreover, the opening must be stunning enough to draw the attention of the entire wizarding civilization.

That's quite difficult!

Of course, if there were no difficulty, then it wouldn't be worthy of a great wizard.
