Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Time-Space Gate and Mysticism Chapter

Yang Qizhou’s spirits were immediately lifted, as this question had long haunted his mind.

What exactly is a wizard...

Lena once said that wizards are taboo, desecrators, who brought terrifying calamities to the Old Earth in the previous epoch, nearly leading to the destruction of the world.

’Old Gods believer’ Alice also mentioned that in the Third Epoch, whether it was the Silver Kingdom ruled by the Wind Lord and Order Lord, the Eternal Night Curtain ruled by the Lord of Night, or the Golden Country worshipping the Sun, all were overshadowed by the wizards. They were even forced into exile from the Old Earth, only beginning to return gradually in the Fourth Epoch.

But as to what exactly ’wizard’ means, he had never had a clear concept.

Now, he had found the Spirit of Truth that nurtures ’wizards.’

Yang Qizhou was not going to let this chance slip away.

"If becoming a wizard means earning the disgust of all gods and hidden entities, and even standing against the world itself, then if the profession itself turns out to be weak, that would be just too f***ed up."

As Yang Qizhou mumbled to himself, he continued scrolling through the game text.

...

...

"You see this lifelike doll, ’Little Seventeen,’ who answers without hesitation."

"A wizard is an explorer of ’possibility,’ a shepherd of ’symbols,’ a user of ’cosmic authority,’ and a desecrator of ’divinity.’"

"You are quite surprised that the Spirit of Truth, ’Little Seventeen,’ would also bluntly admit that wizards are desecrators?"

"After all, by the very nature of the term, ’desecration’ is always pejorative, signifying something bad, something evil."

"But soon, a surge of excitement rises within you. Shepherding divinity, wielding authority—this sounds incredibly ’high-level.’ Could it be that, by some stroke of luck, you’ve transitioned into an extraordinary ’profession’?"

"Unable to restrain yourself, you ask: How can one become a wizard?"

"’Little Seventeen’ shows an impish smile and says... To become a true wizard, you need an abundant understanding of ’mysticism,’ an unimaginable amount of ’mysterious materials,’ a vast domain, and millions of followers. This involves the secrets of ’sequences,’ the origins of gods, the symbols tied to authority, and so on—a grand and complex system."

"’Little Seventeen’ pauses before continuing... Of course, the most important thing is to contain the ’Ancient Roots,’ which is the very essence of a ’wizard,’ and the source of all power."

"It sounds rather remarkable. You ponder this, feeling less resistant to the idea of becoming a ’wizard.’"

"You ask ’Little Seventeen’: Do all the things you’re talking about exist within the Truth Hall?"

"You see the lifelike doll ’Little Seventeen’s’ face suddenly droop, her excitement vanishing as if she’d suffered a major blow. She says..."

"During the era before the ’Day of Fallen,’ when wizards still ruled the land, the Truth Hall had the most comprehensive wizard-training mechanisms. These included the ’Time-Space Gates’ that allowed transportation to all corners of the world, the most advanced ’mysticism,’ and the most scientific ’deactivation’ methods, among others."

"But now, the Truth Hall is severely damaged. While the ’Time-Space Gates’ can barely function, less than one percent of the locations can be accessed. As for ’mysticism,’ only a few Chapters remain readable; the rest will require the Truth Hall’s repair to recover gradually."

"Special reminder..."

"You have unlocked the ’Time-Space Gate’ feature."

"You have unlocked the ’Mysticism Chapters’ feature."

...

...

Holy sh*t, new features unlocked?

Yang Qizhou was utterly shocked.

It had to be said that the last time new features were unlocked, it was tied to achieving the ’Destiny Achievement,’ which also unlocked the ’Destiny Store’ and ’Destiny Exchange.’

But those features are ones every player eventually unlocks in time...

However, the ’Time-Space Gate’ and ’Mysticism Chapters’ are different. According to the system’s hints, these features seem to only unlock upon entering the Truth Hall.

What does that mean?

It means that, out of all the players in the Deceit World, it’s very likely that he alone has unlocked these features.

"Holy sh*t, is this the privilege of being a wizard? Wizards are seriously awesome..." Yang Qizhou shouted in excitement, forgetting the time when he had declared he’d rather starve to death or die outside than ever become a wizard.

Without delay,

Yang Qizhou opened the ’Time-Space Gate’ feature first.

Accessible locations: [Original Land], [Guiding Truth Hall], [Asgard], [Polluted Mountain Edge], [Black Water Reef]

Damaged portals: [Witch’s House], [Village of Returnees], [City of Ten Thousand Gods], etc.

Repair method: Fill with ’Power of Time-Space.’

At this time, the screen refreshed with text again, with the Spirit of Truth ’Little Seventeen’ providing explanations.

"The ’Original Land’ refers to the place where you were located before entering the Truth Hall. This portal is only usable within the hall, and as a wizard of great wisdom, I’m sure you understand what I mean."

"The ’Guiding Truth Hall’ portal allows you to return to the Truth Hall from the outside world. But don’t count on using this feature to escape danger—the time-space pathways are highly unstable, and one wrong move could rip you apart."

"’Asgard’ is a God’s Fortress within the Radiant Kingdom. It’s a power that only rose to prominence in the Fourth Epoch... oh, the current epoch. However, the appearance of this giant city had long been marked by ’destiny,’ so the Truth Hall has a Time-Space Gate leading there."

"The ’Polluted Mountain Edge’... that’s an exceedingly terrifying spot, brimming with filth and corruption. Before you become a true wizard, Little Seventeen advises against venturing there."

"The ’Black Water Reef’... that’s a paradise of desire, a haven for outlaws. Indulgence, violence, and sin are its eternal melodies. Yet it seems to hide a terrifying secret. Even as a true wizard, you must exercise extreme caution there."

"As for the ’Witch’s House,’ ’Village of Returnees,’ ’City of Ten Thousand Gods,’ and other damaged portals, I’ll tell you more when you repair them."

Well, damn, three new maps unlocked. For now, it seems becoming a wizard isn’t so bad.

Yang Qizhou grinned widely, his gaze settling on the ’Asgard’ map...

The [Circle of Friendliness], symbolizing ’generosity,’ was originally enshrined within the Heroic Spirit Hall of this God’s Fortress but was lost a decade ago in the North Realm Abyss.

Perhaps these two locations aren’t far away; it could be worth exploring when the opportunity arises.

Next, Yang Qizhou opened the ’Mysticism Chapters’ feature. The interface revealed several book covers imbued with mysterious designs, such as [Sequence Chapter], [Wizard Chapter], [Divinity Chapter], [Old God Chapter], [Outer God Chapter], [Ancient Dominator Chapter], and so on...

Yang Qizhou’s attention was first drawn to the [Sequence Chapter]...

After all, the fox disguised as ’Rest Angel’ Archer had mentioned that game characters attract the hidden entities from the River of Death because the [Hidden God’s Clothes] are connected to the ’Original Darkness.’ Meanwhile, ’Old Gods believer’ Alice had revealed that the Original Darkness involves sequences, which are secrets tied to the gods.

If he could uncover the secrets of the ’Original Darkness’ and ’sequences,’ it might be possible to find a way to mitigate the negative effects of the [Hidden God’s Clothes].

Anticipation filled his heart as Yang Qizhou clicked on the [Sequence Chapter] icon.
