I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

After hearing Brianna's explanation, Roland breathed a sigh of relief.

"If we had gone in by ourselves before the gods arrived, all these years of hard work would have been for nothing. Half an hour, did we enter the field of vision by then?"

“In fact, we entered the horizon early this morning,” Brianna said. “If it weren’t for the ropes connecting us to heaven, our time would have been completely frozen relative to the outside world.”

"Not only have they entered the field of vision, but they went in at dawn this morning?" Roland was greatly astonished. "This distance is much farther than I estimated last time. This is truly exciting news!"

“The last time you estimated it was thirty years ago when we sent the Thousand-Eyed King away,” Brianna said somewhat speechlessly. “In recent years, you’ve either been holed up in the Forbidden Library reading the Book of Madness or in the spiritual world of Dawn of Light watching reincarnation. Occasionally you’d come out for a ten-day or two-week trip, and then rush back.”

Technology is constantly evolving. If I don't go out and explore for two months, and don't read the latest papers, I feel like I can't understand the new things anymore.

And you, my Prince Roland, have become a person of antiquity.

"Indeed, we've become like people from ancient times," Roland said with a sigh. "The development is really fast."

At this moment, Roland noticed that Brianna kept staring at the air in front of her and pointing. He couldn't help but ask, "What have you been looking at? The light screen? Have you also had one of those strange objects implanted in your eyeballs?"

“This thing is outdated.” Brianna rolled her eyes. “My lady, cyber witches are no longer practiced.”

Roland asked curiously, "What's that new thing?"

Brianna said, "A cheat code."

Roland: “???”

Suddenly, Roland noticed a subtle change in Brianna's aura. His intuition told him that Brianna had just broken through a bottleneck and advanced to a higher level. However, the fluctuations of that advancement were concealed by some supreme power.

Roland's eye twitched violently. He couldn't tell what level Brianna was at, because everyone else seemed to be far stronger than him, a third-tier demigod wizard.

But Roland was quite certain that Brianna had just leveled up again—it seemed that wizards could now allocate skill points to themselves!
"Don't look at me like that," Brianna said speechlessly. "It's just a small cheat—a small cheat developed based on Dawnlight. It makes it easier for wizards to manage their willpower and also makes it easier for wizards to exchange items at Dawnlight."

With a flick of her wrist, the invisible object in the 'air' in front of her materialized and appeared before Roland.

This seems to be the 'cheat code' that Brianna was referring to; it's a book.

After taking the book and flipping through it, Roland suddenly realized what it meant.

“That’s right, it’s the ‘Book of Dawn of the Wizards of Alayer.’ Or rather, the Book of Dawn that has been continuously updated and iterated by wizards,” Brianna said.

When the Dawnlight Restoration Project had just begun, Roland used his 'Alaye's Foolish Notebook' as a template to create the first batch of Dawnbooks.

By visualizing the light of dawn, wizards established a channel of communication with it.

From that time onward, Roland was able to infuse wizards with knowledge and power through the Light of Dawn and the Book of Dawn.

But in that era, all of this infusion was passive. It was accomplished through the manipulation of Roland, the administrator. Wizards could not use their own Force to exchange knowledge and power with the Dawnlight.

But now, wizards can allocate their own resources independently. Using energy such as willpower as currency, they can fulfill many of their own needs through the Dawn of Light platform.

The latest version of the 'Book of Dawn of the Wizards of Alaye' already possesses a tiny bit of 'God' power—this thing can create things out of thin air!
Wizards, possessing energy such as willpower and magic, can use this spellbook to create matter. The wizarding world is gradually moving towards an era where matter and energy are equivalent, and Old Johnson's dream—'with magic, we can even create a new world'—is being realized step by step. "Theoretically speaking, creation does not require the power of the Dawn Light; magic can achieve it. Therefore, the latest version of the spellbook no longer requires the power of the Dawn Light for some minor matters."

Brianna conjured a golden handkerchief out of thin air: "But without the aid of the light of dawn, if wizards only use tools like spellbooks, the things they can create will be limited by their own understanding."

Therefore, the spellbook still needs the support of Dawn of Light's backend database.

Furthermore, functions like creation can be used for both good and bad. Therefore, spellbooks need to be regulated. Thus, at their underlying structure, these books are governed by the Light of Dawn and cannot violate the rules established by the Council of Elders.

Closing the book, Brianna said, "In fact, those wizards who have studied the 'Zero Realm' all know more or less about how to create, generate, and open up the void. Even without tools, they can conjure all sorts of strange and wonderful things with their bare hands."

Therefore, the Council of Elders developed a new version of the spellbook. This served to some extent to curb the misuse of magic and also achieved the goal of supervision and control.

After a pause, Brianna said, "Theoretically speaking, we have already grasped the initial ability to open up new planes and create new worlds from scratch. Of course, this is just theory, after all, it is a huge project."

Roland nodded, indicating that he understood.

The wizarding world today wields divine power like the gods in heaven.

However, unlike the gods, the gods' power is constrained by their rank and divine strength. The stronger and higher the rank of a god, the greater their power.

But wizards are different. They are limited to knowledge and energy. As long as they have enough knowledge and find enough energy sources, even a wizard apprentice can use tools to create things and open up the void!
Knowledge and energy do not originate from any believers. These two things are everywhere in the Great Astral Plane!
By exploring the astral plane, one can acquire knowledge, and the shining stars in the sky are all enormous energy pools.

Therefore, in terms of institutional systems and the underlying theoretical framework of civilization, the wizards' civilization has already achieved a dimensional reduction attack on the civilization of Heaven.

However, the wizarding civilization has only just entered this 'level' and is not yet fully developed. But both sides are already at the same level—the wizards are in the early stage, and the gods are in the later stage.

Fifty years ago, abilities such as creation and creation, which were only possessed by gods, were still in the imagination of wizards and had not yet formed a complete theory.

These theories are now gradually being refined and put into application!
This is only fifty years. If another fifty years pass, the wizards will surely be able to catch up with the Kingdom of Heaven. And if many more years pass, perhaps the wizards will even be able to completely decipher 'madness'.

At that time, for wizards, the gods they could only look up to, the gods who once asked "how did they do such things?", will become "so they are nothing special after all."

The prophecy of the Thousand-Eyed King will also be fulfilled—the gods will eventually be deciphered, then fall from their pedestals and become 'another group of wizards' in the eyes of the wizards, or even 'a group of ignorant and inferior beings'.

Leaving aside the future, let's talk about the present. If the gods don't go mad, based solely on their divine powers in the material world, they might not actually be able to defeat the wizards.

During this period, Roland focused his attention on recording various reincarnations. The phantoms he released were mainly used to accompany his family and oversee projects. He did not focus his attention on cutting-edge magical papers.

This is partly because if one has witnessed too many reincarnations and too many wizards' madness, then the mental impact on Roland when the two Rolands merge into one would be too great.

On the other hand, Roland originally thought that in just fifty years, no matter how the wizards developed, they would not surpass the wizards in the cycle of reincarnation by much.

However, Roland discovered that many of the wizards' things were beyond his comprehension.

Roland suddenly realized that the upcoming first 'Rope-Breaking' battle in the surface world might bring things that were beyond his original expectations. (End of Chapter)
