Sorcerer’s Handbook

Chapter 1354: Lord of the Void

Views:

A long, long time ago, so long ago that this reality had not yet been divided into six kingdoms, but was located in the pastoral era on one planet. A daughter was born in the family of the leader of the star-gazing fleet and was named Fili.

It is said that she did not cry or make a fuss when she was born, learned to read and write at the age of half a year, exercised at the age of one, and could guide her father to avoid a conspiracy at the age of three.

That was an era when magicians had the lowest status, and also the most powerful Four Pillar Gods. The realm of gods was infinitely close to reality. Violence, conspiracy, plague, and lust were like the smudges formed when a picture frame melted, seeping into the canvas of the human world. Magicians, as the most inspired group, were the most likely to hear the whispers of the Four Pillar Gods, fall into madness and lose themselves.

Under the full moon at night, the sorcerer will mutate into a violent werewolf, and only flesh and blood can satisfy his uncontrollable appetite; in a sweet dream, the sorcerer will suddenly master a new miracle, and in a half-awake state, he will experiment on his family and neighbors; in a rainstorm with thunder and lightning, the sorcerer will melt into mud, merging all living beings within a hundred miles into one; when thick fog rises from the earth, all races will be eager to mate with the sorcerer, and give birth to unspeakable evil beasts within a day.

There are only sects on the continent that worship the Four Pillars of God. There are constant wars between sects, and there are endless disputes within sects. Only magicians who join a sect can get the blessing of the Four Pillars of God and not lose their rationality. But if you want to join a sect, you must offer your heart and become the most humble slave to devour the virtual world for the Four Pillars of God.

If a sorcerer does not belong to a sect, he is considered an "untouchable" who is despised by the common people. A sorcerer who may fall into depravity at any time may destroy a city at any time. Once discovered, he will be reported to the evil god sect, allowing the evil god sorcerers to capture the wild sorcerers and either execute them or completely embrace the Four Pillars Gods and accept that they are lowly beings that can be ravaged by anyone.

The more powerful you are, the more humble you are.

The smarter you are, the more shameful it is.

The Four Pillar Gods completely turned the truth of the world upside down, turning the virtual world into a terrifying curse and placing inescapable shackles on the sorcerer.

Fili grew up healthily in the Stargazing Fleet, which was the most special force of that era. They chose to leave the fertile continent and wander the ocean all year round, earning resources through trade and trying to avoid the wars of the evil god sect. The Stargazing Fleet mastered the ability to distinguish directions in the ocean by observing the stars. They firmly believed that the stars could not only guide the direction, but also reveal the fate of all living beings. Therefore, they developed a set of astrology in the name of stargazing.

When Fili was six years old, she was already able to participate in the group trade. She could judge the changes in the supply and demand of goods through various gossips, and she could help the group earn excess profits every time. The group was happy with Fili's talent, but also worried about Fili's intelligence.

In that era, being smart was the cruelest curse.

The change happened when Fili was seven years old. She went to the port with her father to purchase goods and met slave traders who were selling young boys and girls who were displaced in the sectarian war. She chose to use her own pocket money to buy them all and made the most beautiful little girl among them her maid.

The stargazing fleet gradually grew, but when Fili was twelve years old, her parents were suddenly murdered in their sleep. Her uncle accused Fili of becoming a magician by contacting the virtual world, so he killed her parents on the night of the full moon. He wanted to hunt for magicians and kill his niece. Due to her usual intelligence, the people in the fleet became more and more afraid of Fili. They firmly believed that Fili would become a magician sooner or later, so they all acquiesced to her uncle's words and believed that Fili was the murderer.

Just when Fili was at a loss for words, her taciturn maid suddenly killed her uncle and admitted that she had heard the tyrant's whispers and killed the captain and his wife. At this time, Fili only needed to kill the maid to avoid the storm, but she vowed to protect the maid, and through clues, she analyzed that it was her uncle who killed her parents and convinced everyone in the fleet.

But the magician must be either executed or sold to other sects. Faced with the surging public opinion of the fleet, Fili made detours and delayed the time of landing. At this time, the fleet happened to encounter pirates attacking the pirates. There was a magician who was contaminated by the tyrant among the pirates. The fleet was simply unable to match. At this time, Fili untied the cage of the maid, and everyone worked together to repel the pirates' attack.

When the dying pirate magician was caught and muttering in his sleep, Fili held his hand and comforted him, and he suddenly woke up from his madness and repented for what he had done.

At this time, Fili announced that she could purify the magician's pollution and keep him from being polluted by the Four Pillars. Because of the pirate magician's confession and the maid's obedience, plus Fili's long-standing prestige, the fleet chose to accept it even though they were skeptical.

No one knows whether the pirate wizard's sobriety was an accidental luck or Fili's magic. But not long after, the fleet happened to encounter the evil wizard chasing the wild wizard at the port. When the wild wizard escaped into the wine barrel of the fleet, Fili asked everyone to choose to protect her.

Then the third, the fourth, the fifth... By the time Fili was eighteen years old, there were already ten magicians in the fleet, and because they were all female magicians, they all served as Fili's maids.

Since no corruption had occurred over the years, everyone believed that Fili could indeed purify the pollution of the Four Pillars. With the secret help of the magician, the Stargazing Fleet gradually became the strongest force on the ocean, and could even grow crops on the ship.

Under Fili's guidance, the maids created an astrology faction through astrology. With the help of astrology, the enemies of the fleet died inexplicably, so no one discovered that there were magicians in the fleet for so many years.

Fili was twenty years old. When the fleet docked at the port, they encountered a sect slaughtering a town. At this time, the fleet should have sailed away immediately to avoid the war. This was what they had done for so many years.

However, this time Fili was determined, and all the maids went out to save this unfortunate town.

The most powerful chief maid among the maids is already a sanctuary magician, and the others are also golden magicians. Compared to the evil magician who is exploited all day long and lives in a daze, the maids defeated the evil magician like a landslide.

It was also from this day that Fili set foot on the continent and founded the Miracle Alliance, claiming that she had mastered the miracle that could purify the pollution of the Four Pillars of God, and called on magicians to seek refuge with her, saying that she would save this world that was deeply poisoned by the evil gods. As the alliance repeatedly defeated the evil god sects, more and more magicians came to join Fili. Although magicians occasionally fell, everyone thought it was their misfortune. Everyone believed that Fili could indeed purify the pollution, and the flag of the alliance would expel the Four Pillars of God from this world.

Intelligence and strength are no longer viewed with hostility. Everyone takes the initiative to learn skills and contact the virtual world. The number of magicians increases dramatically year by year. But strangely, Fili has never been a magician. However, no one despises her for this. She is respected as a great sage, who coordinates the development of the territory and uses the power of magicians to rapidly expand the strength of the alliance.

When Fili was 28 years old, the alliance encountered the most dangerous crisis. Three medium-sized evil god sects attacked the alliance together, and many Sanctuary magicians in the alliance broke out at the same time. Just when everyone began to doubt Fili's prestige, Fili's maids once again turned the tide. One legend, nine Sanctuaries, such a terrifying team configuration, completely suppressed all external and internal troubles.

From then on, the people spontaneously called Fili the Great Sage of the Sun and Moon, meaning that she was like the sun and the moon, shining on the world and dispelling darkness. Her maids were called the Star Maids, surrounding the sun and the moon, shining brightly.

But the evil god sect still has overwhelming strength, and it is only because of their internal conquests that the Miracle Alliance has room to survive. When they noticed the Miracle Alliance and united to attack Fili's territory, everyone advised Fili to give up the periphery and stick to the core city, but Fili wanted to save even the outermost subjects.

The sentence she said most often was that this is a world of miracles, how could I give up so easily

With everyone's joint efforts, the alliance has resisted the alliance of the evil god sect time and time again, and the alliance magicians have grown rapidly. Seeing the rapid growth of the alliance, the evil god sect finally couldn't sit still, and all the reactionary forces united to attack the alliance from all directions.

With the strength of the alliance, it is impossible to defend so many places, even if they shrink in time. However, Fili still chose to protect the majority of people without hesitation, even if the capital was empty. She chose to believe in the magicians and believed that everyone could create miracles.

The Alliance magicians did not disappoint her expectations: the evil god magician legions were all repelled outside, and the four evil god legends who raided the capital were also killed on the spot by the chief maid.

The only one who didn't perform a miracle was Fili.

She did not hide in the safe house, but insisted on watching the legendary war. In the aftermath of the legendary war, the originally safe house completely collapsed. She originally had a holy domain magician with her, but because she saw that her subjects were in danger in the distance, she sent this holy domain magician out as well.

When the chief maid killed the Evil God Legend and went back to open the ruins, she saw that Fili, who was desperately guarded by several guards, still could not escape the bad fate. With more than 2,000 milliliters of blood loss, the maid could not save Fili with any miracles, and all her healing spirits were consumed in the war just now.

The maid held Fili in her arms. She wanted to ask Fili why she didn't hide in the safe house, but she felt that she didn't need to ask. No one knew better than her that Fili had never mastered any miracles. She was not even smart, otherwise she would not have been able to become a magician, but somehow she mastered a lot of strange knowledge.

It is only because this wise girl can respect every magician equally and bring hope and warmth to them that magicians are able to resist the temptation of the evil god time and time again.

As bright as the sun, as pure as the moon.

She always wanted to protect everyone and pursue the so-called perfect ending, so she couldn't hide... because she was a perfect banner standing on the battlefield. Even the maids, because they noticed that Fili was standing on the battlefield with them, broke through the demigod realm in the end and reversed the situation with her mighty swordsmanship.

But there is no perfect ending in reality.

Fili's body gradually grew cold in the maid's arms. One day later, the evil cult retreated. Three days later, the high-ranking magicians returned to the capital. Five days later, a rainstorm fell. Seven days later, the maid was still holding Fili's stinking corpse in the ruins. No one dared to disturb this legendary figure in the alliance or even the world.

However, on the full moon night of the seventh day, a magician broke out of corruption and pollution. The maid finally reacted, she tapped lightly, and Fili's body turned into starlight and disappeared without a trace.

This girl who controlled countless magicians with her mortal body was buried under the starry sky, along with her ideals, moral laws that did not belong to this era, and mysterious talents and knowledge.

Ten seconds later, the maid arrived at the scene and killed the fallen magician, then held an emergency alliance meeting and summoned all the sanctuary magicians.

She announced that she would command all high-end combat forces and defeat all evil sects as quickly as possible.

Some people asked, if this would make the alliance extremely empty, what if it were invaded by other evil cults

She replied, so what

Everyone was worried. After all, the maid was the one who believed in Fili the most. Fili's policy was people-oriented, and she would always protect the majority of people. Now the maid was disregarding the people, and it seemed that she was blinded by hatred, which made her very easy to be corrupted by the tyrant or the prince. If even the chief legend was corrupted, the alliance would probably fall apart.

But the maid calmly told them that she did not ignore Fili's principles out of anger, but she made the decision to completely abandon Fili after careful consideration.

Miracles do not exist, victory is the only right thing to do. There is no need to protect everyone, the final victory is the only pursuit.

Some people agreed, but more people opposed. People gathered under Fili's banner not to follow power, but to pray for good wishes. The third maid asked her hoarsely, if it wasn't for Fili's willingness to protect them, they would not have survived. You and I can sit here because of Fili's miracle. How can you betray Fili's expectations

The maid replied, Fili is a mortal, so she can believe in a perfect ending, but we are magicians, we know that perfection has only ever existed in fantasy, a magician pursuing perfection is like a crying child, who knows something is impossible but still puts his hope on tears.

It is because of Fili that I exist, but Fili cannot reach the end, only I can.

There is no more need for Fili in this world, only me.

I am victory, I am justice, I am right.

At sunrise the next day, the maid's leadership charm convinced all high-level magicians. They fought against 18 evil god sects in half a year. The counterattack of the Four Pillars was extremely fierce. Legendary magicians appeared in large numbers like they were free. When the last evil cult stronghold was destroyed, a total of 72 evil cult legends fell. Except for the chief maid and the tenth maid, all other magicians in the alliance were killed or injured. Six out of ten people in the alliance were also killed. But in the end, the dawn came.

Without the evil cult sorcerers to perform rituals, the pollution of reality by the Four Pillars of Gods declined rapidly, and the probability of corruption pollution dropped from one in ten to one in ten thousand. A new era began.

The chief maid rejected the alliance's nomination of the Great Sage of the Sun and Moon, saying that no matter how dazzling the sun and moon are, they cannot shine on everyone, and only the stars can always guide the right direction. Then she and the tenth maid were promoted to demigods, passed through the six hells, and arrived at the seven heavens.

The tenth maid later changed her name to Xinglu.

And she still uses her old name, Fanxing.

Many years later, the Seven Heavens had more Lords of Blood Moon, Lord of Infinite Abyss, Lord of All-Knowing Weaving, Lord of Senluo Zhan, and Lord of Fantasy Music. They agreed to hunt the source angels, so they divided the world into six phase realities, one person ruled one, the stars were responsible for building the cages, and the other gods were responsible for producing the necessary resources for the cages.

When the source angel was imprisoned in the cage of stars, the stars connected to the human container that they had prepared. That was the daughter of the Duke and the leader of the Four Pillars God Cult. In order to deal with the source angel, she had to rely on the power of the Four Pillars God to become a demon.

When others were preparing demon vessels, they all used themselves as templates, but she was different... She didn't just use herself as a template.

Perhaps this is why the character of the demon container is so weak.

But fate shows that only such a demon can hold the future in his hands. After so many years, I still need you to help me fight against the four pillars and challenge fate...

The stars slowly closed their eyes, merged into the demon container, and fell into a deep sleep.

... ...

...

She slowly opened her eyes and saw Ash spreading his virtual wings and coming in front of her in the sea of stars. His enchanting and gorgeous virtual wings made the bright stars pale in comparison.

"Today is the sixth day. I thought you would enjoy it until the last moment before accepting your fate." She smiled, "Or do you want to spend your last day with me? In that case, I can be gentler."

Ash couldn't tell which of her words was from Fanxing and which was from Fili. After six days, she seemed to be able to switch between the two personalities seamlessly. But this was not good news for him. The higher the degree of integration between Fanxing and Fili, the less likely Fili would let him off at a critical moment.

"The last day is indeed for you," Ash said, "but also for the world."

"It sounds like you haven't given up yet." Fanxing flew barefoot in the air, circling around Ash. This was undoubtedly a playful move that only Fili would make, but her tone was so indifferent and arrogant: "Can't you just die obediently?"

"Or are you ready to destroy the virtual world and compete with me for the only seat of the Eight Wings? If so, I am looking forward to fighting you to the death. But if you don't want to destroy the virtual world, but you are also unwilling to die, and you are still pursuing-"

"Perfection has always existed only in fantasy. A magician who pursues perfection is like a crying child. He knows something is impossible, but he still bets his hope on tears." Ash shrugged: "Believe me, this is the most common thing I have heard in the past few days. They like to use your words to teach me a lesson."

"But this is a world of miracles. How can I be willing to give up until the last moment?"

Ash shook out two swords from his sleeves, "I have one last question, Stars."

There was a glimmer in Fanxing's eyes: "Ask."

"Six Wings is the Lord of the Secret Realm, Seven Wings is the Supreme of Magic, and have you ever thought about what the Eight Wings should be called?"

"Are you so confident?" Fanxing laughed in anger: "Have you already started thinking about what title you should take in the future?"

"I'm just curious." Ash smiled and said, "I guess you will continue to use the name Fanxing? But this time you don't need Supreme or Lord God as a suffix, because no one will be on the same level as you... The name Fanxing is enough to surpass everything."

"No." Fanxing shook her head: "I probably won't continue to use the name Fanxing at that time, but will be called..."

She paused and asked, "What about you? Are you going to name the Eight Wings "The End Watcher"? "

"How is that possible? I'm neither the End nor the Watcher, and the name sounds like the leader of a cult." Ash said, "I'll be more direct. Isn't the Eight-Winged Magician the ultimate being that controls the void, miracles, and destiny?"

"So you're going to call it Ultimate?"

"No, I plan to be called the Lord of the Void Realm." Ash slowly drew a sword ring with his two swords: "But I won't be called the Lord of the Void Realm until I achieve the Eight Wings. Instead, I will conquer the world in the name of the Lord of the Void Realm, and the Eight Wings will crown me!"
