During this time, Wu Feng and Lin Yue explored the switch placement problem of magic circuits together and finally figured out how to freely control magic circuits. After all, Wu Feng was a god-slayer from the world of Godslayer. Although the magic of the two worlds is different, there are still similarities. By borrowing from them, it is only a switch problem that can be solved.

The remaining issue is the use of magic, but he doesn't think he needs to worry too much about that. Once the source is opened, there will always be geniuses who will fill in the gaps. All Wu Feng needs to do is teach them the basics as much as possible.

It must be said that his adopted daughter is also outstanding. Even though she has the experience of forcibly activating all magic circuits, she can be called a monster for mastering how to control magic circuits in a short period of time. If she knows a couple more powerful magic spells, she can easily crush one or two strong-level magic spells.

"All we need now is time. Give us enough time, and even the gods can crush us," Wu Feng murmured.

Although the gods' control over this era is weakening and their strength has slightly decreased as a result, there are still beings at the middle or even upper levels of the Madness realm. Direct confrontation would only lead to certain death. Wu Feng's plan is to weaken their strength to an acceptable level as quickly as possible while they are not paying attention, and then strike a blow against Thunder.

In this plan, he must hide himself as much as possible.

……

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed here. Wu Feng has been in the Type-Moon world for nearly five years, and Uruk has also gained sufficient strength.

The special force was named the "Holy Grail". Initially, it had only a hundred members, but after two years, it had grown to a thousand. The lowest-ranking among them was at the peak of the "Parallel" level, and the vast majority had reached the "Strong" level. The most outstanding among them had broken through to the "Lower Fierce" level simply by relying on their physical strength.

Among those who broke through was the former Guardian Gavin, who abandoned his divinity and desperately trained his body. Coupled with his considerable talent, he became the first person in the Holy Grail to break through to the lower level of the Ferocious rank.

The simplified training methods have been disseminated, and the level of the Uruk army has risen by more than one level compared to two years ago.

The training in magic is relatively weaker, and a group of 100 people called "Stigmata" has already been established.

Compared to the personal qualities required for the Holy Grail, the requirements for the Stigmata are more stringent. The requirement to enter is at least twenty magic circuits. It's not that those with fewer circuits have no hope of learning magic. As long as their temperament is in line, Wu Feng will teach them basic training methods even if they only have three or four magic circuits. However, if it's the Stigmata, then forget it. Wu Feng needs a team that can face the gods, and having too few circuits means that it will take a lot of time to make up for it.

What surprised Wu Feng most about the magic was not the ability to fight against the temple priests, but the confirmation that the city denied the existence of the gods. (To be continued)

Chapter 202 The Third Law

Magicians call things that are impossible to achieve through magic or science and technology "magic".

When something can be achieved simply by spending time and money, no matter how difficult it may be, it is not considered magic. In the early stages of human civilization, all magic was considered magic, and all could be called magicians.

In later times, when magic was scarce, it became known as magic tricks, which in turn divided the professions that used magic tricks into two categories.

A magician is someone who treats magic as a tool rather than an object of study. Magicians often possess greater power than magicians and are also despised by magicians. A magician is someone who studies magic in order to reach the root of magic. After entering the field of magic, they are often obsessed with exploring deeper roots.

In this newly acquired era of magic, pure magicians did not exist, because even how to use magic was just beginning to unfold, without a complete system, let alone using magic as a tool.

Anyone who begins to practice magic will, to some extent, study it. The difference lies in whether they focus on the study or combine study with tools.

The deeper one delves into the realm of magic, the greater the doubts about the existence of so-called gods arise. Past divine punishments and natural disasters could be explained by advanced magic. In other cities, such people would undoubtedly be heretics destined to die. However, in Uruk, where there are no gods, this idea will undoubtedly spread gradually.

In just two years, this idea has spread throughout the city. Even those who still believe in God cannot help but have some doubts. After all, when everyone around them denies the existence of God, their own views will be infinitely diluted.

As the founder of magic and the one at the forefront of its path, Wu Feng undoubtedly became the spiritual icon for these people. They could deny the existence of gods, such an ethereal and elusive belief, but they could not tolerate any disrespect for the one who led them onto the path of magic and placed them at the pinnacle of it.

This respect evolved into faith. Thanks to them, the original expectation was that the faith seed could only be activated to about 1% within two years. Now, they have directly collected 10% faith, more than ten times the original amount.

The ones who reaped the most rewards in the past two years were not the mages, nor the lucky ones who obtained the Holy Grail or the Stigmata, but Wu Feng, Lin Yue, and Gilgamesh.

Divinity was something Wu Feng had studied for a long time without success. He was certain, however, that it wasn't something those gods could easily create. In recent years, he had seen some lower-ranking gods, and Gil, possessing two-thirds divinity, had a much higher level of divinity than those other gods. In the two years immediately following his awakening, his strength skyrocketed. It was a bug-like three-level leap, directly reaching the upper rank of Fierce, making him one of the most progressive in two years.

Ritsuki, whose magic circuits are practically bug-like, became the second biggest beneficiary. Simply by controlling the magic power generated by the magic circuits, she reached the level of a monster. After Wu Feng's detection, it was found that Ritsuki's magical attributes were the fictional attributes of nothingness and emptiness, which are rare attributes.

Finally, there's Wu Feng. Standing at the pinnacle of magic isn't just talk. Rin Yue is too young; she'll still be under ten years old two years later. Her interest in magic is so-so, and she's hardly studied it at all. She relies entirely on Wu Feng's guidance.

In the past two years, Wu Feng has used up another 10 Holy Marks, leaving him with only 11. He directly exchanged them with Gaia for a lot of basic magic books. Some of them were used as teaching materials to teach new magicians, while the more advanced ones were kept secret. Two years was not enough for them to learn these, so they combined them with the magic knowledge of the Godslayer and began to study them on their own.

Is it fair to say that a shut-in can be terrifying when he gets serious? Two years of almost complete isolation allowed Wu Feng to touch the edge of the Third Law: the Heaven's Cup, the materialization of the soul, and the endless source of magic.

Perhaps due to the differences between worlds, Wu Feng, being a soul researching the Third Law, naturally found it easier than others. However, two years was ultimately too short, allowing him to only touch the edge of the Third Law. Even just touching the edge more than doubled his storage of death power. With a few more years of research, the Infinite Magic Cannon would not be a dream.

Magic is also one of the greatest mysteries in the Type-Moon world. Wu Feng's death power can also be explained by magic, but its attribute is death, which has never appeared before.

“Teacher, we have waited for two years. Even if the Four Kings Alliance comes again, we can easily crush them. Isn’t that enough?” Inside the Moon Tower, Gil, in her girl form, said to Wu Feng with some insistence. This was the eighth time in two years that she had asked Wu Feng for permission, but she had been refused each time because she didn’t have enough power.

"...Jill, you've reached the top too, haven't you?" After considering it, Wu Feng asked Jill.

"Hmm, it arrived last year." The girl, Sparkling, wondered why her teacher would ask her this question; she should have known about her strength long ago.

“That’s about enough. It’s time for those guys to pay for their sins back then.” Wu Feng closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, finally agreeing with Jill’s opinion.

The rise of the fierce to a higher position is probably the limit that the gods can tolerate; any higher and some things will be hard to hide.

"Is it finally possible?" Jill replied excitedly. Ever since Lugal's death, she had wanted revenge, but she had been putting it off until now.

"Let's keep the Holy Grail and Stigmata on hold for a while. With just the ordinary army and your abilities, Gilles, we should be able to completely crush those guys, right?"

……

Two years later, the dormant Uruk has finally awakened again. Apart from the Holy Grail and a thousand basic defenses, all five thousand soldiers have been gathered to accompany Gilgamesh on his expedition. With the Holy Grail in the city, even if it is attacked, it is impossible to succeed, not to mention that his teacher is also inside.

The first target, Ur, is the culprit behind the Four Kings Alliance.

As Gilgamesh left Uruk, Enkidu, who lived among the animals in the distant forest, seemed to sense something and looked in that direction.

The person she was searching for was leaving, but for some inexplicable reason, she, who was gradually gaining a soul, did not continue to pursue him.

"It's almost fully grown..." Enkidu murmured softly, stroking the little animal in his arms.

"Let me witness what the city you govern is like..."

Over the years, Enkidu has gradually gained a soul and developed emotions. He has become curious about his mission, what kind of person he is going to take away, and what kind of place the city he has been gazing at for two years is.

"It's time to leave. Remember to take good care of yourself..." Enkidu said quietly, stroking the animals around him, before slowly standing up and walking towards Uruk. (To be continued...)

P.S.: Thanks to wsycpt for the reminder. Magic is practically nonexistent in this era; there's only sorcery. Please refer to the end of the previous chapter as if it were sorcery.

I'm also slightly adjusting the update time. I haven't had enough drafts to write, so tomorrow's second chapter will be at 9 PM. When it will resume depends on the situation.

Chapter 203 The Great Sage

Outside the gates of Uruk, Enkidu, dressed in white, slowly walked towards the gates. His delicate, androgynous face, with a faint smile, could move countless people even if their gender was unknown.

Uruk never deliberately forbids people from entering the city, but Enkidu's presence was so extraordinary that even the soldiers guarding the city were drawn to him, making the city's commander uneasy about letting him pass through so easily; he at least wanted to inform the Great Sage.

"Great Sage" is also the private title used by those who practice magic, including those associated with the Holy Grail and Stigmata, to refer to Wu Feng. While ordinary people often call Wu Feng the Holy Master, they call him the Great Sage to express their admiration for his research and development of magic.

Well, one thing is for sure: in this world, Wu Feng, who has a mission to complete, is indeed a great sage. However, after leaving, as Zi Ma's direct descendant and a pure-blooded otaku, the great sage will inevitably become a great idler...

As soon as the order to "stop" was given, the guards at the city gate immediately blocked Enkidu's way, preventing him from entering.

The city gate is the most important place in a city. Even Uruk would not be so arrogant as to ignore the defense of the city gate. Therefore, the soldiers at the city gate are all taken on by members of the Holy Grail in rotation, and the relevant generals are no exception. Only they can complete any order quickly and without delay.

"Is this what humans are like?" Enkidu looked at the guards blocking his way and curiously began to explore them. The result surprised him. The quality of each of them was very close to that of the lowest-ranking god. If they could break through that barrier and have some luck, they might not be unable to become gods.

Are all people like this? Enkidu wondered.

"Who are you? Where do you come from? You're not from Uruk, are you?" The member of the Holy Grail asked him seriously. Although he had a great liking for the person in front of him, he also understood that someone like him would definitely not be unknown in the city.

“Enkidu, over there,” Enkidu said earnestly, pointing to the distant forest with a puzzled look.

The guards at the city gate frowned slightly. Besides their daily training, members of the Holy Grail had numerous expeditions, not to conquer other countries, but primarily to fight monsters and other alien races. In this era, there were many special monsters comparable to low- or even mid-level gods, who would occasionally appear on the land, wreak havoc, and then disappear. They had become the Holy Grail's primary targets.

The forest that Enkidu pointed to was one of the target locations Wu Feng had designated in the past—a forest teeming with monsters. However, it had been quite peaceful in recent years, and hadn't done anything particularly outrageous. Therefore, the mission to subdue that place was put on hold.

The person before him claimed to be from that place; aside from mockery, it meant they genuinely possessed the ability to survive there. The guard's grip on his weapon tightened unconsciously. The Great Sage had taught him never to underestimate others, and the person before him didn't seem like the type to play tricks. That meant he possessed overwhelming strength.

"Can I go in now?" Enkidu asked again after the guard stopped.

“…I’m sorry, after confirming…no, you can go in.” The guard was about to refuse, but as he waited for orders from above, a voice entered his mind, causing him to immediately show a respectful expression and allow Enkidu to pass.

Enkidu looked in a certain direction within the city for some inexplicable reason. Then he walked into the city.

"How could you actually let him in? Lord Luomu just gave the order to stop him here. Let's see how you explain this later," the guard next to him said with a "good luck" look.

The young man Wu Feng had met before also entered the Holy Grail by chance. He originally hoped to enter the Stigmata, but unfortunately, his magic circuits were too terrible... However, his physical attributes met the requirements of the Holy Grail, so he gave up on the Stigmata. Two years later, he was considered a squad leader and was about to break through to the lower rank of the Fierce.

"I didn't let him in," the guard said with a strange expression.

"If it wasn't you, then who could it be?" another guard asked curiously. He had clearly seen his friend let that strange person in. How could they say it wasn't him?

"Just now, the Great Sage personally gave me the order to let that person into the city. Do you think I dared to refuse?" the guard said with a wry smile and a hint of admiration.

"Wow, you're lucky, kid." Another guard gasped and punched him enviously. That was a great sage! Getting rich was secondary; if he could get some guidance, he would definitely make a leap forward. Everyone knows that Gavin, one of the current leaders of the Holy Grail, was able to make rapid progress because he received guidance from the great sage. He could be considered a half-disciple.

……

Upon entering Uruk, Enkidu immediately attracted the attention of the residents, as his appearance was indeed exceptionally striking. However, the atmosphere quickly returned to normal, with only a few people still stealing glances.

It's not that they're bragging, but the residents, who are used to seeing holy teachers, maids, and little princesses, have a much higher standard of living than those in other cities. Even if a goddess came, she would at most make them admire her, but they wouldn't be too impolite. They would only be amazed because there are very few people who can compare to her. But when they see people of the same level every day, the amazement disappears, and at most they would just sigh.

Enkidu wandered the streets, observing the changes in the people around her. She was familiar with the smiles that often graced their faces; she would also wear such a smile when she was in the forest with the animals and in a good mood.

They were all living happily... Enki thought to himself, evaluating the people around him.

As she walked around Uruk, the ordinary yet pleasant life she encountered left a good impression on Enkidu. When she was about to reach a certain area, the Grail members on guard nearby were about to stop her, but they immediately showed surprise and returned to their posts.

The area was quiet, even a little scary, but Enkidu liked the feeling here; the quiet made it easy for her to calm down.

Not long after entering, you will see a towering house. It is not very tall or grand, but it is exquisitely crafted. Almost every piece of wood has been processed, and the combination looks exceptionally quiet and perfect.

Enkidu could still sense a strange magical force protecting it from above, pervading the entire area, so that even she could not see what was inside.

As Enkidu gazed at the exquisite architecture before her, a voice sounded behind her.

"How does my house look?" A neutral voice, tinged with anticipation and a hint of pride, sounded behind her.

Enkidu was startled and immediately turned around to look at the other person. She hadn't felt anyone behind her at all before.

Both Enkidu and the newcomer were startled upon seeing the person who arrived. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on Qidian.com.)

Chapter 204 Preparing for Death

The person who suddenly appeared behind Enkidu was naturally Wu Feng. Wu Feng had already sensed Enkidu's approach to Uruk City.

After all, the undisguised power approaching Uruk was like a giant light bulb, shining continuously for 24 hours a day. Even if Wu Feng were blind, he would be awakened.

From that time on, Wu Feng had been spying on Enkidu. Of course, the so-called spying was just sensing Enkidu's presence through the barrier built in Uruk, without actually spying on her. As a divine puppet, Enkidu's strength was greater than that of most gods, and Wu Feng was not very confident that he could go near her in person without being discovered.

Upon learning her name, Wu Feng was immediately taken aback. Historically, Gilgamesh was known for his tyranny and despotism, which caused immense suffering to the people. They prayed to the gods, and the goddess Aruru created Enkidu, the first being created by the gods, to punish Gilgamesh.
