After reaching the maximum level, my "soft rice system" finally arrived.

Renata stood there gracefully beside Ciel.

The destructive energy that had spread out and annihilated everything around it vanished without warning when it touched her body.

Renata's delicate face remained completely devoid of emotion, but her pale golden eyes suddenly flickered as she sensed the soul fluctuations emanating from the astral plane that felt extremely familiar to her.

A moment later, Renata turned around again and looked at the astonished high-ranking wizards in the Arcane Hall.

After throwing her uncontrollable divinity and divine power into the pseudo-stellar core of the Dawn World, she had broken free from the shackles of her words becoming law and could speak without restraint.

"Shar is currently at a critical juncture in his understanding and advancement of the world, and is unable to control the leakage of his mental energy..."

"Even if the perception of the world gets out of control, the destructive wave could very well turn the entire Black Tower into dust."

"As he requested, I took Sharl to the dimensional void to complete his advancement first."

As soon as the crisp words fell, Renata waved her hand slightly.

The dim, yellowish light silently enveloped her and Charles.

When the curtain of dusk disappeared, the two figures within it had long since vanished.

......

"I never expected that girl to possess such formidable strength—"

"To be able to initiate a cross-dimensional 'dimensional leap' so easily, and to treat those destructive fluctuations as nothing, she has probably already reached at least the pinnacle of legend."

"I used to think that she was just a newly promoted legendary figure who followed Charles around every day."

Kieran stroked his gray beard, looking in the direction where Ciel and Renata had disappeared, and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

The new generation of wizards in the Black Tower are all so powerful and dazzling, and they all like to play dumb to fool others. This reminded him of a popular saying on the Western Continent's wide-area communication network: "The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach."

However, Kieran's sentiments were not echoed by the other legendary mages.

At this moment, both the Ice Elf Queen and the Blood Clan Ancestor had extremely focused gazes, as if they had discovered some enormous secret.

"Hey, hey—what's going on with you guys...?"

"Above the starry sky of the Silver Continent, those pseudo-god projections that were entrenched there have all been completely blasted into nothingness by that cannon. Even if they are to return, it will take at least several decades. This is great news, so why are you making such a fuss?"

"All right--"

“I admit that Charles is a special guy. Whether it’s that god-slaying cannon shot just now, or his performance of interfering with the material plane with his mind, it would be big news if it were any other wizard.”

"But... that's Ciel, haven't you gotten used to it yet?"

"Haven't you learned to accept his differences yet? Aren't you always ready to unleash your inner composure?"

Kieran's complaints went unanswered.

After a moment, Aisveta spoke softly.

"Unified field theory..."

Kieran's relaxed expression suddenly froze.

His thoughts finally caught the word he had unconsciously overlooked in Renata's words earlier.

"Unified Field Theory".

"Modern arcane theory holds that there are four fundamental forces in nature: gravity, electromagnetism, weak force, and strong force."

"It is the existence of these four fundamental forces that constitutes the universe, forms the stars, constructs the continents, and gives birth to all the natural phenomena that we can touch and understand in the material plane."

Akshia's cool voice slowly rang out.

"The 'unified field theory,' which currently exists only as a hypothesis, is the product that can completely explain and unify these four fundamental forces."

"If it could truly be created... that would mean it could be used to describe all phenomena in nature."

"That will be the truth that governs the entire observable universe, and the ultimate form of all arcane laws and natural laws up to this point."

"Perhaps... that is the end of the arcane arts that we wizards pursue."

According to Charles, the fully perfected "Grand Unified Field Theory" can also be called—

Akshia's cool voice paused slightly.

Even her beautiful, icy eyes showed a hint of emotion at this moment.

"The Principles of God."

Chapter 96 Behind Me Lies His Entire World (6k)

The gaps between dimensions, the deepest part of the astral plane.

A magnificent and dazzling palace, adorned with patterns of countless blazing suns.

On the throne engulfed in flames, the sun god's face suddenly turned deathly pale.

He coughed violently, spitting out a few strands of pale golden divine blood. The light on the throne behind him visibly dimmed considerably.

Even considering the Sun God's status as the oldest false god—

The complete erasure of dozens of dimensional projections was a tremendous blow to Him, far more severe than the damage caused by the blasphemous wooden horse from the previous God-Fallen Dimension.

If not handled properly, it could very well cause His status to decline.

From the most ancient god who was only one step away from true god, he has completely fallen into the realm of ordinary false gods.

However, even so.

The once majestic eyes of the God of the Sun still flickered with surprise and doubt.

That torrent of pitch-black particles, which seemed to have swallowed up all light, still seemed to be shining before His eyes, annihilating all matter into the most basic constituent particles.

"That curtain that looked like a black veil, and the subsequent explosion... what exactly was that thing—?"

It swallowed up all the light from the star falling on the planet...

And then there's the particle beam that annihilates all matter.

Even from the perspective of a false god... that kind of thing seems absurd.

These false gods, who occupy the pinnacle of life in the multiverse, were annihilated into nothingness before they could even put up the slightest resistance.

If the domain exclusive to false gods can indeed be accessed by wizards in another way—

Then why did they have to embark on the irreversible path to godhood in the beginning because they were stuck at the pinnacle of legend and could not make any progress?

In pursuit of something even greater—they relinquished their original physical bodies, their lovers, relatives, and companions, their emotions as living beings, and all the glory and memories of their past lives...

Only after paying such a high price could one obtain this power that surpasses the legendary level.

At this very moment, however, the other party clearly presented another possibility, one that transcends legend, to the gods.

That is a brighter path.

Without having to give up so much, one can still ascend to the divine realm beyond legend with only human flesh and blood.

However, for this king who was once revered and worshipped by the entire forest elf race, now known as the ancient god Lieyang—

It was too late to turn back...

Everything that the former Forest Elf King cherished has been buried in the vast ashes of that unknown plane, caused by the uncontrolled power of the blazing sun, along with the coldest and most ruthless time and years.

Even until the very last moment before the forest elves were burned to ashes by the out-of-control power of the blazing sun, they were still chanting the name of the god of the sun when he was a forest elf, firmly believing that this greatest king of the forest elves would return at the most critical moment and save the entire race from peril.

......

Divine fire flickered in the crimson-gold pupils of the God of the Sun.

He burned away the remaining surprise and fear, as well as the involuntary memories and self-doubt that arose in his heart, little by little.

"The first priority now is to find a way to stabilize our position after this heavy blow."

"The Silver World... and the matter of that wizard, I am no longer qualified to interfere—I can only wait for the war and the other false gods to handle it."

"And then there's abundance and life, and the betrayal of the Silver Moon... We must also be careful to guard against these."

A cold, emotionless whisper slowly began to rise.

In an instant, that cold and indifferent divinity suppressed the remnants of humanity that had risen from the depths of the Sun God's soul due to his unstable position caused by severe injury...

Let Him break free from those long-forgotten memories, and let His thoughts and logic become cold and rational once again.

"And then, most importantly—war."

"Given the severe damage I have suffered, it is almost impossible for me to ascend to the throne of God before the war, given the normal course of events. My original plan has been completely abandoned."

"There is no turning back in the battle for the true gods. If we want to find a way to overtake them from behind... unless there is someone who is deeply trusted by the war, like Silver Moon betrayed me, and then betrays the war."

"Although it's a method created by a wizard—"

"But it's not entirely impossible for false gods to emulate this..."

The God of the Blazing Sun's indifferent whispers suddenly stopped.

next moment.

The deafening roar of shattering divine power suddenly resounded—

Lieyang stared in astonishment at the sky above...

A gigantic hand, shrouded in twilight, tore apart the palace dome adorned with the patterns of blazing sunlight, carrying with it an indescribable, terrifying power.
