  Astral World, Year 672.

  It had been one hundred and thirty years since Lu Zhiyu left the world the first time. It was a long time for commoners, but to supernatural beings, it was only a short journey of discovery.

  During the year 672, the master of the wizard tower, Catherine, became a mythical wizard under the witness of hundreds of elemental wizards and countless other wizards.

  Under the astral sky, the wizard tower gleamed, shining upon the entire City of Wizards. Catherine became a mythical fairy with a pair of large and transparent wings. To do this, she had used forest fairies from the bloodline of fairies created by Lu Zhiyu. It was a mythical creature with the supernatural powers of illusion and control over plants.

  The forest fairy became like breeze and starlight, traveling through the sky and over the land of the wizard continent. Everywhere she touched, flowers blossomed. All the living creatures were immersed in a deep sleep filled with dreams. Bugs, squirrels, bears, and people in the town all fell deep into their illusions.

  All the wizards cheered for the first level-seven mythical wizard to ever come into being. She was the first wizard from the tower to reach this mythical level and become an eternal being. After Catherine came back from the tower, some of the wizards in the city and the tower knelt down on the ground, kissing the places she walked.

  To them, Catherine was a god. A level-seven mythical wizard was a god.

  “The great master of the wizard tower, Ms. Catherine!”


  “Long live the wizards!”


  “Long live the wizards!”


  Catherine stood at the top of the wizard tower, gleaming with supernatural light. Everyone in the city watched in rapture. The wizards held their scepters high, giving off witchcraft illumination. The lights were turned on, and there was food and wine everywhere throughout the city. Everyone was living in a fool’s paradise at that moment, their eyes gleaming as they looked at the wizard tower.

  Catherine went back to the top of the wizard tower. Her mythical life form withered away, and the phantom body turned back into its human form. Just like Lu Zhiyu, Catherine chose to keep her ordinary life form after becoming a mythical life.

  Catherine should have felt euphoric, but she didn’t feel pleased at all.

  “How does it feel to gain eternal life?” Someone said from the corner of the room.

  Catherine looked to the corner, and she saw a black-haired man sitting there, holding a wine glass, “Congratulations, Catherine. You’ve finally graduated. There’s nothing more I need to teach you from now on. You’re mythical wizard Catherine now!”


  Catherine shook her head and said, “It’s only eternal to commoners. No one is actually immortal. Everyone will die eventually.”


  “But now, at least I kind of understand how you feel!” Catherine looked at Lu Zhiyu and then at the city of wizards below the wizard tower.

  Lu Zhiyu didn’t reply to that statement. Instead, he asked, “What do you want to do next? Do you have any plans for your eternal life?”


  Catherine nodded, “I decided to push the wizard civilization into a new era!”


  “Is there a problem with this era?”


  “A huge problem!” Catherine sat down, looking worried, “There’s a huge problem with the wizard civilization system! The wizard civilization system belongs only to the wizards. This civilization is built on wizards. How about the commoners? The trolls, orcs and dwarfs? The wizard civilization was born from those ordinary life forms, but as we move forward, we’re abandoning them.”


  Lu Zhiyu stood up and said, “The same thing happened in Maria’s World one hundred years ago! There was a huge conflict between the supernatural beings and the commoners, but it seems that the problem on the wizard continent is more serious. The threshold for wizards is higher.”


  Catherine looked at Lu Zhiyu and asked, “How did they resolve that issue?”


  Lu Zhiyu reached out his hand and a diamond magic crystal showed up in his hand, “The magic crystal system is a system that can give commoners the ability to use supernatural power. This is the first-generation magic crystal, and then, there’s a second-generation magic crystal. They collect the power of belief to charge the magic crystals, which perfect the entire magic crystal system. However, the second-generation magic crystal system is built on the god system, which is not applicable to wizards.”


  Catherine took the magic crystal from Lu Zhiyu’s hands. She checked it with her mind power and looked exhilarated, “Did you reconstruct it with your Philosopher’s Stone? It’s indeed a genius design.”


  “As long as I have enough time, I can improve this system. There are countless ingenious wizards in the tower, and the new talents will figure out its weaknesses.”


  Lu Zhiyu stood up and said, “I might stay here for a while. I’ll walk around in the astral world, but I’ll definitely visit you again before I leave!”


  Catherine asked, “Why did you decide to stay here?”


  Lu Zhiyu frowned and pondered it for a long time. He then shrugged his shoulders and said, “I’ll be very free and idle for a long time. I don’t have any specific goal anymore, so I can only walk around and see what happens!”


  Catherine smiled, “Then you might want to stay here for a while longer! If you have time, please tell me about the changes that happen in Maria’s World or any other stories you want to tell me.”


  Lu Zhiyu asked, “Have you met Wendy?”


  Catherine frowned and said, “Before Wolfe died, I went to visit Sylve. However, since Wolfe died I haven’t seen her. I heard that the arcanists are working on something very important, but it’s confidential. Fairies also don’t talk to the outside world much, so I don’t know much about it.”


  Lenny City on the Wizard Continent.

  “The ground itself has power. Why can’t we just fly into the dimensional wall and out of this world? Because we’re not fast enough, and our airships are not sturdy enough. If we can build airships that are fast and solid enough, we can get rid of the power of the ground, rush into the dimensional wall and explore the astral world.”


  A green goblin stood on a platform in front of three blackboards. They were covered in airship designs and intricate symbols.

  There were all races of students seated before him. Even the proud human wizard apprentices were listening carefully to what this troll alchemy warlock was saying.

  Cook Bay was the new level-four alchemy warlock, and he was one hundred and fifty years old. He was also a world-renowned alchemy expert, especially on airship and element tower building. There were many rich elemental wizards lining up to ask Cook Bay to help them build an element tower.

  The level-four element tower built by Cook Bay was definitely one of the best towers in terms of defense level, attack level, climate regulation, and boundaries. The level-two and level-three wizard towers built by Cook Bay had become the standards across the wizard continent.

  After he finished his lecture, Cook Bay immediately went to the wizard tower to join the magic crystal system revolution meeting.

  “Magic crystal system revolution meeting? What is that?”


  Cook Bay would never reject an invitation letter from the wizard tower. When Catherine became a mythical wizard, he went to visit the wizard tower from afar. Although he was a goblin, he admired the master of the wizard tower Catherine with all his heart.

  Cook Bay packed and got onto a train bound for the city of wizards. He was holding a book that looked old and ragged, but it was preserved fairly well by witchcraft.

  On the cover was a picture painted by a renowned painter from the Alen Continent in Maria’s World of a floating city in the sky.
