Chapter 1261: I Believe You Can Do It
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Among the gods in legends and myths, those gods should be considered subordinate gods that depended on some stronger gods. For example, the God of Trees and God of Thorns should be subordinate to the God of Forests, who was subordinate to the Goddess of Nature.
However, although they had low status among the gods, they were still true gods, after all. Each one of them could easily kill a Sanctuary powerhouse like Lin Li. In this hall, there were dozens of such subordinate-level gods, which brought a great shock to Lin Li.
The little skeleton didn’t introduce much about them to Lin Li, and instead continued walking forward to take Lin Li to the other side. It was just like an indifferent prison warden who simply ignored the wailing and roaring of the surrounding gods. Regardless of how glorious and authoritative they used to be, the little skeleton called the shots here now.
Seeing the way the little skeleton was behaving, Lin Li naturally couldn’t kick up a big fuss. Despite feeling shocked, he remained calm on the surface. As he reached the second floor of the Mage Tower, he discovered that apart from the gods that had been sealed, there were actually many more things that were extremely astonishing.
For example, the ground was paved with crystals that were actually a type of magic material that had long become exhausted in Anril, and appeared only in myths and legends. It was said that the gods had used it to build palaces. A fist-sized piece would release a massive amount of mana that was at the peak of the Sanctuary-level and contained extremely pure Sky Laws.
There were also the pillars that were made of Chaos Adamantine, which was said to be a rare magical metal that was created with the condensed power of Chaos. It could completely accommodate all the magical elements and laws. Although it didn’t have powerful mana, it was definitely a top-grade magical weapon or the best material for building the best magical weapons and props. The Stars of Fury, which Lin Li had been trying to find for a long time, contained an extremely important type of metal, and that was Chaos Adamantine.
The seven pieces of the debris of the stars each contained a pure nomological power, and if the Stars of Fury didn’t contain any Chaos Adamantine, it would probably be impossible for it to move their power. With the Chaos Adamantine, the Stars of Fury had the foundation to control the debris of the stars. Coupled with the special Divine-Smith-level mageweath, it had the ability to fully exert the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars.
In addition, the Chaos Adamantine had another powerful effect: it would greatly enhance the level of a magical weapon when added in small doses during the latter’s creation. It could allow a Guru of Forging to create a Guru-level masterpiece. If Lin Li, who was also a Guru of Forging, could get his hands on some Chaos Adamantine, it would probably be possible for him to create a weapon that was near the level of an artifact.
Lin Li did not pay attention to what the first level of the Mage Tower was like, because the sealed gods had given him a great visual impact, so much so that he didn’t have the time to think about other things. However, when he reached the second level, he could already shell out some of his attention to observe the other items, even though the gods there were of a higher level.
In fact, apart from the sealed gods, there weren’t many rare items in the hall on the first floor. However, there were more than just gods on the second level. Apart from the rare magic materials that were extremely enticing to Lin Li, there were also many magical objects that seemed ordinary but contained terrifying power.
For example, there was a wisp of fire element on the lamps. Once it was released, the skies would be all lit up, and it would be a piece of cake to burn the sky. Even a Sanctuary powerhouse’s Domain World would be burned down to nothing once it came in contact with a spark.
The ancient Mirage Sphere that had been sold at a high price during the recent auction turned into an ordinary decorative ornament here. Lin Li could even sense that each Mirage Sphere had given rise to a world on its own. If someone got their hands on it, it would be akin to having a world of their own.
There was an hourglass used for timekeeping, which really didn’t seem impressive, but it actually contained the condensed Laws of Time. If someone mastered its method of use, they would even be able to use it to reverse the laws of time and space within a certain range, which already concerned the power of the Divine-realm. It probably wouldn’t be wrong to call it an artifact.
It could be said that each drop of water and speck of dust in the Mage Tower contained a massive power. Even though Lin Li had always felt that he had seen a lot of the world, he felt like a country bumpkin entering a city when he was in the Mage Tower.
After coming to Anril, Lin Li had explored plenty of ruins, from the Eternal Furnace to the Throne of Darkness, followed by Prince Brahere’s mausoleum and the Sky Castle. The powerful magic props that he had harvested were enough to make anyone jealous. However, Lin Li still felt that he was too poor.
Lin Li couldn’t possibly stop to study those things, and could only continue moving up the stairs with the little skeleton. Of course, Lin Li was well aware that the Mage Tower was, more likely than not, left to him by the Immortal King or Geresco. Hence, he didn’t eagerly try to get those items.
Lin Li followed the little skeleton up the first floor, second floor, and then the third. Gradually, Lin Li started to feel numb. To him, it was just like a prison for the gods, where the gods of the lowest level were housed on the first floor, and the gods on the higher floors were much stronger.
Gradually, gods that were at the level of the God of Bravery such as the God of Rivers, God of Righteousness, and God of Forests appeared in front of Lin Li. The second-tier gods were several times or even more than 10 times more powerful compared to the subordinate gods below. They were already powerful existences that could establish their own Divine Kingdoms.
For gods, a Divine Kingdom was not just like a backyard or garden, nor was it just meant to serve as a place of worship. It was also an extremely powerful weapon that was both offensive and defensive. A Divine Kingdom mattered to a god as much as a Magical Domain mattered to a mage. It was completely a difference in realm.
However, even then, gods that could create Divine Kingdoms were still confined within this Mage Tower like prisoners. When the little skeleton and Lin Li passed by them, they howled and begged incessantly for someone to release them, just like prisoners who had been imprisoned for a long time.
Lin Li could not say that he was not interested in those gods, but he didn’t find them as rare as he did at first. After the initial shock, he seemed to have been more enticed by the various decorations and arrangements in the tower. Since the Mage Tower could seal and suppress so many gods, it naturally had an impressive setup.
First, it was the mageweath that suppressed all gods, which was similar to the mageweath that suppressed the Ancient God of Light. It was absolutely a good reference for Lin Li. Apart from that, there was also a large number of mageweaths that were used for defense and attacking, as well as some illusion arrays. They were all mageweaths that were at the Divine-Smith-level, which bedazzled Lin Li.
Although the mageweaths were powerful, it wouldn’t be easy for Lin Li to completely master them. He could only consider it an eyeopener regarding what Divine-Smith-level mageweaths were like so that he could study them in detail in the future.
However, although Lin Li could not master these mageweaths, he could also tell the amazing aspects thereof, especially with the one that was suppressing the gods. It actually had the ability to constantly extract the divine power of all deities. Not only did it treat the gods as a mana source, but also borrowed the nomological power that the gods mastered.
After discovering this, Lin Li couldn’t help but be amazed by how generous the Immortal King was. Not only did he imprison the gods, he even treated them as slaves and experimental products.
The level of the gods that were suppressed got higher and higher as Lin Li continued to explore the place with the little skeleton. When he reached the 11th floor of the Mage Tower, Lin Li was already used to seeing gods, and there was probably nothing that could shock him any further. However, when he saw the items on that floor, Lin Li was once again astonished to the point that his jaw dropped.
It turned out that the ones being suppressed on the 11th floor were dozens of ancient gods. Ancient gods were different from ordinary gods. Ancient gods were born from chaos, and had the inherent power of origin. The other gods generally became gods through the study of certain laws, which they eventually mastered. Compared to the ancient gods, they were worlds apart.
For example, the Ancient God of Light had an innate mastery of light. Although there were gods that could become the so-called God of Light through the study of the laws of light, they were a notch lower compared to the Ancient God of Light. It could be said that among the various gods, even the powerful main god wouldn’t be able to fight the Ancient God of Light easily, and would be innately subject to the suppression of the ancient gods.
Lin Li initially thought that it was quite a big deal for the Immortal King to be able to suppress the Ancient God of Light. Even after entering the tower and seeing the gods that had been confined, he didn’t think of the suppression of the Ancient God of Light. However, everything that he was looking at now gave him a better idea of the Immortal King’s strength.
The ancient gods that were suppressed here, such as the Ancient God of Darkness, the Ancient God of Fire, the Ancient God of Chaos, and the Ancient God of War, all had power that was not inferior to the power of the Ancient God of Light. However, they still couldn’t avoid the fate of becoming mana sources and experimental objects as they couldn’t escape from the imprisonment.
Finally, under the lead of the little skeleton, Lin Li arrived at the top floor of the Mage Tower. However, it was again very different from the previous one. Not only was the space obviously much smaller, it wasn’t decorated much.
The little skeleton walked to two hidden doors, and stopped before respectfully saying to Lin Li, “Master, the things the previous master left you are in this room.”
The opening in the doors was enough to fit half a person, and there was some faint light that was being emitted from it. Lin Li looked in through the doorway, and saw that it seemed to be a study inside, with rows of neatly arranged bookshelves that were full of books. There was a figure seated in front of a bookshelf with his back facing the door. He would only move his arm occasionally, and seemed to be flipping through something.
Lin Li was no stranger to that figure, which was the God of Mages, Geresco, who had taught him countless times in the inverted tower. Of course, the Geresco here was probably not Geresco in his real form, but a phantom similar to the one in the inverted tower.
Lin Li was initially still rather worried when he arrived. After all, he knew nothing about this place, and couldn’t trust the little skeleton completely, either. However, after seeing Geresco’s phantom, Lin Li naturally didn’t have to worry about any traps here. Although he was a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, it would be a piece of cake for Geresco to destroy him.
Lin Li reached out, and gently pushed the door open a little before stepping in.
However, as soon as Lin Li took a step inside, he immediately felt his vision turning blurry, and by the time it became clear again, he was already in another world. He was now standing on an island in the sea, and the only thing in sight was the vast, boundless ocean and roaring waves.
Immediately afterwards, numerous meteors came falling from the sky with dazzling sparks. They cut through the sky with a whistling sound, and stirred up huge waves in the sea as each one fell. The deafening roar they emitted seemed like infinite thunderbolts.
Lin Li stood on the island and watched the apocalyptic scene of the massive meteors falling endlessly. If it was just a calamity of falling meteors, it wouldn’t be much for a Sanctuary powerhouse, but Lin Li was extremely astonished.
Lin Li could feel a strong divine aura from the falling meteors, which were actually deities, and not meteors!
The gods had fallen! Was there anything more shocking than this? While being shell-shocked, Lin Li suddenly remembered the imprisoned gods that he had seen along the way, and couldn’t help but wonder if there was some connection between the two.
At this moment, a voice which seemed very familiar to him suddenly sounded in Lin Li’s ears.
“I believe you will be able to do what I managed to!”
It was Geresco! Lin Li naturally recognized Geresco’s voice, but he wondered what Geresco was talking about. Is this the reason for the fall of the gods? Or did Geresco who had come here after following the Immortal King’s trail already pass the Immortal King’s test, and is telling me about his experience?
