I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Catherine and Olivia were deeply moved after hearing Roland's words.

The two personally experienced these fifty years of development and witnessed wizards turn one magical technology after another into reality.

Many theories that were originally conjectures have been verified.

Many things that only existed in theory have already been put into practice.

Just a few years ago, a 27-year-old advanced apprentice, standing on the shoulders of generations of wizards, and based on the conjectures of Roland and many others, explained the lower world from a different perspective and proposed the conjecture of the 'Zero Boundary'. This paper caused a huge sensation as soon as it was published.

According to classical magical theory, the lower world is absolutely chaotic and indescribable. Madness originates from this chaos, thus the Mad God becomes an indescribable and nameless being.

Therefore, once wizards can explain the underworld, it means that this unknown mystery can be transformed into something known—that is, madness can be described.

If something can be described, then it can be interfered with; if it can be interfered with, then it can be controlled!
This paper demonstrates that chaos can be described as order, showing that chaos and order, the underlying world and the surface world, are essentially unified. It also shows that the madness of chaos can be transformed into order—that is, madness can be 'cured'!

Although this paper only presents a theory, consisting of calculated formulas, and has not yet been experimentally verified, it has given wizards a completely new perspective on the underworld.

Recently, as the light of dawn brings the world closer to the underworld, some of the prophecies in that paper have begun to be verified.

Judging from what the wizards are currently observing, the direction of the paper is at least correct, and at least the concept of 'Zero Boundary' is correct!
The conjectures made by Roland and others back then have now become theories that can be used for prediction.

These theories are being verified step by step. As the true theories are continuously verified and corrected, a truth about the Zero Realm, about madness and madness, will emerge. And many magics, divine arts, and purification techniques built upon this truth will also appear.

At that time, the mystery of madness will be completely solved, and God will no longer be God.

They will be like the elemental sprites of yesteryear, helping wizards understand and utilize the elements.
At that time, the gods' nightmare will begin—those wizards who have become masters of elemental manipulation will be able to make them do things as easily as they would control elemental sprites.

If the wizards have already reached that point, how can the gods possibly fight them? The entire kingdom of heaven will have to become a place that serves the wizards!

What Catherine and Olivia could foresee was that within fifty years, the wizards would have discovered the truth about the 'Zero Boundary'—and it would only be sooner.

After that, the wizards will build a new edifice of truth in the Zero Realm, and the magic of the Mad God and the Mad Demon will, like the elemental magic of the wizards' primitive society, transform from uncontrollable and dangerous things that wizards are born with but do not know what they are into understandable and everyday elemental partners.

Olivia remarked with emotion, "Roland has spent most of his time within the Dawn Light over the years, leaving only a fleeting shadow outside. So although Roland has memories of these fifty years, for him, fifty years ago feels like yesterday."

So, he still retains his original mindset. I mean, this mindset is correct. We've been overthinking things too much over the years; we're blinded by our own perspective.

Catherine said, "Roland is right. The unknown mystery is becoming known truth. In the foreseeable future, we will conquer Heaven. No, we should say we are able to rebuild the order of Heaven. At that time, the gods will surely be able to live in peace with the wizards and benefit each other, just like the elements were back then."

"Let's put aside our beautiful fantasies for now." Olivia sighed. "This war will definitely be more difficult than the war when the wizards quelled the frenzied elements. There will certainly be many things we can't predict."

As a mad god who became a wizard, Olivia highly values ​​the things wizards do.

Olivia could no longer be considered a mad god, but rather a wizard like Roland.

Therefore, like Roland, she firmly believed that the path the wizards were now taking was the right one.

But unlike Roland, she understood the Mad God better because she had spent time with those guys.

Therefore, although she had great confidence in the future, she was filled with anxiety about the present. She even held a pessimistic view of the war.

She vaguely remembered the glory and terror of the gods back then. The moment they climbed out of the lower world and truly entered the surface world, the entire Great Star Realm began to tremble.

Almost overnight, they transformed into the creators of the surface world, while those who had interfered with and manipulated them from higher dimensions inexplicably became ants.

The ants of yesteryear did indeed triumph over the gods and establish a new Forbidden Sanctuary. And the wizards of today, while inheriting everything from the Forbidden Sanctuary, have also developed new ideas upon it.

But the gods did not stand still; they had already begun to revolutionize new realms seventy thousand years ago.

Modern wizards are at best able to contend with the gods of 70,000 years ago; they're at the level where they can barely get on the table and put up a fight.

Wizards are novices who can barely get a chance to play, while the gods are world champions who have been defending their titles for 70,000 years. How can they possibly win?
Therefore, Olivia was very pessimistic.

Not only her, but all the wizards were extremely nervous. They all knew that, theoretically, they had a chance to win, but that was only theoretical.

Putting everything else aside, the attitude of the gods over the years speaks volumes—the wizards have done so much, yet the gods have remained indifferent and unconcerned!

This attitude is something that wizards find very frightening.

No one knows how many trump cards the gods hold.

The only trump card the wizards could play was the 'Alaye Doomsday Truth'—to qualify themselves to sit at the table and compete with the gods.

Amidst their deep anxieties, the Forbidden Observers foresaw detailed information about the exact time, location, and number of the gods' appearance.

The specific time was dusk. The wizards had completed their preparations for dealing with the gods years ago, and were only waiting for their arrival. But now they had to wait another long afternoon.

Everyone firmly believed that this would be a final judgment, a cataclysmic event. They also believed that the cards the gods would play after their appearance would be terrifying—after all, even the Forbidden Observer hadn't foreseen what kind of methods they would use.

In this agonizing wait, the rolling clouds in the sky seemed to freeze and then, like a crystal dome illuminated by the sun, radiated boundless light.

Immediately afterwards, the sky seemed to melt away like thin ice, revealing countless holes. Until the very last corner of the sky completely melted in the light, a silhouette entirely different from the original sky appeared in this world.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the 'High Heaven Palace' that Roland and Olivia had seen before!
Back then, Roland felt that the temple was incredibly grand and magnificent, and that he and Olivia standing there looked like two tiny figures standing on the stadium floor.

Roland, however, did not truly realize just how enormous the hall was—when the two went to heaven, they used the power of the light of dawn, so the afterimages they projected were incredibly large, each of them the size of a Malrod!
But standing in the temple, they were like tiny fireflies!
No wonder the gods called the light of dawn the 'scepter'!
Standing on this earth, people can even see another sky beyond the glazed windows of the main hall, and they are like tiny ants on the ground beneath those towering windows.

It seems that the realm of gods and the human realm have been completely connected, and the two worlds now share the same sky.

Because humans are so small, they cannot even see how many gods are high in the sky.

They only sensed that above the wispy clouds in the sky, countless enormous celestial bodies were shining!

Among them were twelve incredibly large celestial bodies that circled the sky, each occupying a section of the sky, and together they covered the entire sky.

Behind them, there seemed to be an enormous and dazzling entity, which appeared to be the source of the light that fell upon the earth.

'What's the point of baptism if we can't even do it?' Roland closed his eyes, his face pale. Then, Roland's voice echoed in the minds of all the wizards—prepare to carry out the rope-cutting plan!
The wizards moved in secret, their fingers already pressed on the 'switch' that symbolized destruction.

Just then, a group of enormous angels descended from the sky. At the same time, the latest model of the Forbidden Observer transmitted what it had heard into the 'air' in front of Brianna.

It seems these angels are whispering among themselves on the road.

"No wonder this ranch almost fell into the sea. These maggots, who should have been working, must have stopped what they were doing a few days ago and are all here waiting to be admired and worshipped!"
"Inferior beings, lacking intelligence, are all like this. It's already a miracle they can understand the angels of euthanasia and cooperate in restoration; how can you expect them to do everything well?"
[“From this day forward, these maggots will also enter the Kingdom of Heaven and mingle with my gods around the Lord.”]
"Stop arguing, I have a feeling that some supreme deity has already heard our whispered thoughts."
The angels were horrified and began to pray and repent.

Brianna's expression was incredibly complex as she watched the conversations flash by. She quickly relayed the information to Roland through the Light of Dawn—and once the message entered Roland's mental world, everyone saw it.

Many wizards waved their arms and began to tumble in the air, and then the thoughts in the hearts of all the gods and angels appeared in the eyes of the observers.

Catherine, Olivia, and the others couldn't help but look at Roland with strange expressions—they had been making a big fuss about this for fifty years, but to this day the gods were still like blind men, knowing nothing!
Roland looked puzzled, but then he understood what was going on.

To the gods, the past, present, and future of the world are like words written in a book; they can understand everything by simply turning the pages. They can modify everything by moving a finger. Therefore, the gods are omniscient and omnipotent.

However, fifty years ago, the future could no longer be predicted, so the contents of this Book of the World only went up to the chapter from fifty years ago.

Therefore, the gods became blind.

Even if the gods were no longer omniscient and omnipotent, they would surely have had a way to pass through the barrier of the forbidden angels and see everything that was happening here.

After all, the wizards were already capable of doing this, but they were afraid of being discovered by the gods, so they never dared to peek into the Kingdom of Heaven.

The gods had a very solid foundation in the system of truth, and their technological capabilities surpassed those of the wizards—but that was 70,000 years ago.

The once glorious Kingdom of Heaven has long since degenerated into a primitive age. They no longer use the fire of truth in their hands, and have become like wild beasts, relying on their own instincts.

They possess immense power, making their instincts incredibly strong and truly reliable.

But when they encounter intelligent humans, the claws of these beasts become useless, and their eyes and ears become deaf and blind.

They are not only ignorant, but also extremely arrogant.

Therefore, they did not care what the wizards were actually doing. When they saw the fake prayers of worshipping believers sent to heaven, which the wizards had fabricated, they believed them to be true amidst the various hymns, thinking that the wizards had converted to the Kingdom of Light and Shadow over the past fifty years.

They should have also taken refuge in the heavenly realm of light and shadow.

Even these past few days, as the human world began dragging the heavenly kingdom down into the deep sea, the gods still believed in the prayer sent by the wizards—the Dawn Church couldn't control its fanatical believers, and everyone went on strike, rushing to the Holy See to venerate the sacred site.

This scene is so absurd, yet countless empires with such arrogance and ignorance exist in the records of history.

Gods have never shed blood, so they have always been shrouded in mystery in the eyes of wizards.

But now that wizards can hear the voices of angels and gods like the Lord, this veil can no longer conceal their ignorance and absurdity.

'I guessed that Heaven was following the Qing Dynasty's script, but seeing it with my own eyes always feels somewhat unbelievable.'

Roland sighed and waved his hand. Then, the black arc at the edge of the horizon began to float up, down, left, and right, like the rising and setting of the sun. It moved faster and faster, growing larger with each rise and fall.

In a short while, the black arc had already emerged.

—The wizards have cut the ropes; the true gods are about to descend. (End of Chapter)
