End of the Magic Era

Chapter 1260 Astrologian and History

He was only a 5th Rank Mage at 39, but ended up becoming a 9th Rank Great Mage at 40. He became a High Mage at 43, and an Archmage at 50. At 70, he officially became a Heaven Rank powerhouse.And after setting foot in the Heaven realm, no one could stop him from progressing. With a domineering attitude, he progressed until he finally reached the 9th Rank of the Heaven realm.

That descendant’s name was Agalon.

Agalon’s story stunned Lin Yun, he was completely dumbfounded. A thought suddenly flashed in his mind: ‘all those historians are idiots.’

Agalon was actually a direct descendant of the 3rd Dynasty’s royal family! The prince raised as a bird in a cage by the Odin Kingdom’s royal family was actually a fake!

“Astrologians have the ability to see some images of the future. At the age of twelve, when I entered the Starry Sky College, I saw an image of me at 39, I saw the scene of my discovery of the Natural Demiplane’s Planar Path.

“I was aware of my talents, without enough resources, it would have been very difficult for me to get a lot of achievements. Thus, I focused on alchemy, hoping to find that Planar Path earlier. I knew that the Planar Path would change my fate.

“But no matter how hard I tried, I was still unable to change fate’s trajectory. At 39, I found that Planar Path due to an unexpected accident.”

As Agalon explained his story, Lin Yun felt more and more annoyed at those historians, who knew how many “finishing touches” they added to history.

In the future textbooks, it was emphasized that Agalon refused to sell the plane because of his thirst for knowledge and his curiosity towards the unknown.

But he just heard the truth from Agalon, he had seen the moment that would change his fate at 12. He had studied alchemy in order to find it, he knew from the start.

“These past few years, I’ve been seeing very few images.

“I saw the Raging Flame Plane’s destruction, its complete disappearance.

“I also saw a desolate world, a decaying city in the desert with a very tall tower, I saw the sky covered in cracks and storms of destruction seeping through them.

“Then I saw the sky’s cracks widened and the entire world torn to pieces as calamity descended. As this numbing and scary image disappeared, I knew that this world was Noscent.”

Agalon’s tone was heavy and his eyes were glued to Lin Yun.

Lin Yun’s eyelids twitched and the scenery of Heiss City appeared in his mind, as well as the scene of Noscent’s destruction.

‘Agalon actually saw Noscent’s destruction, it was never written in his biography! Great Astrologian... Damn, this wasn’t just his mage title, it referred to his own identity!’

Agalon took note of Lin Yun’s silence and continued talking by himself.

“At first, I noticed you because of your Natural Demiplane. After so many years, I was the only one that found a Natural Demiplane and developed it without letting it perish to the void.

“Up until I found you. That endless mana reserve, frantic fighting style and the ability to fight people a few ranks above your own. This isn’t something spells, control, or incantations could accomplish. Only a Natural Demiplane with stable laws could do so.

“I was certain of it when you reached the 9th Rank of the Archmage realm, because no mage could master and control the power of the four elemental Law in such a short time. Only Natural Demiplanes’ owners could accomplish this.

“You are a genius, a true genius. Due to my curiosity, I dispatched people to collect information on you.

“That’s how I found something else.”

Agalon took a sip of tea while Lin Yun calmly listened. In fact, he wasn’t worried that Agalon would see through his transmigration, because this was something that never happened before.

“You were just a Magic Apprentice with very ordinary talent for most of your youth, you spent a lot of time and your family supplied a large amount of golds for you to reach the 9th Rank of the Magic Apprentice realm.

“But something happened to your family and you seemed to have become a different person. Your power rose at a rapid pace and you seemed to have comprehended a lot of magic knowledge far ahead of our time.

“From that point on, you started rising at a terrifying pace. You solved the formula the Cloud Tower spent dozens of years on and burst out with terrifying alchemy abilities and power. Most importantly, you seem to know everything.

“When you went to the Raging Flame Plane, a lot of things happened in succession. Others might not notice anything wrong and would only marvel at your talent and your strength, but I know that no one could solve everything, no one is able to solve every problem they encounter.

“That only explains one thing. You already knew the solution to those particular problems.

“I have seen the fate of the Raging Flame Plane, yet, the Raging Flame Plane is intact. It could even be said that the Raging Flame Plane is in its best development period right now.

“As for you, you are the greatest beneficiary of the Raging Flame Plane. It looks like you only obtained a small territory, but it’s actually the richest one, and it could be said to be the core area of the Raging Flame Plane. The other areas’ materials are steadily flowing into the Four Season Plain and sold to you.

“You already control the lifeline of the Raging Flame Plane, and most importantly, you obtained the Intrepid, recovered three races that had disappeared in the river of time, as well as many benefits that others wouldn’t notice.

“And it’s all because of your appearance, because you saved the Raging Flame Plane from its fate.”

After saying that, Agalon’s tone couldn’t remain calm.

“Mafa Merlin, since that accident happened to your father, you have awakened an ability. You are also able to see the future, and you can see far more than me!

“If you only knew about the Raging Flame Plane’s destruction, you wouldn’t have been able to alter its fate. I once tried to alter the fate of a scene I saw, only to find out that it was useless. But this time, the ending is completely different from what I saw. This is an outcome that shouldn’t have appeared in the Raging Flame Plane.

“The future... What have you seen? Don’t keep it hidden, I won’t hurt you, I just want to know.”

Excitement could be seen on Agalon’s face, he looked like an alchemist who had spent a long time before finally touching a corner of the truth and impatiently trying to learn what was behind that corner.

Lin Yun was silent, he hadn’t expected Agalon to make this kind of conjecture. He actually guessed that he knew a lot of things regarding the future, many things that shouldn’t be known, because he was also someone that could see through the future.

Peeking at the future was a taboo and an unreachable field, that was something a mage couldn’t come in contact with, it was related to fate.

In history, the number of people able to see images of the future could be counted on one’s finger. But these people were just like Agalon, there was a limit to how much they could see, because they themselves didn’t know what kind of scene they would see or when it would happen.

Moreover, they could only see some very key scenes, just like how Agalon saw the discovery of the Planar Path, the Raging Flame Plane’s end, and Noscent’s destruction.

It was an uncontrollable ability and the scenes shown were only the most crucial ones. It could also be said that Agalon could only see the end result, the crucial result.

Some powerful Heaven Mage, or some extremely powerful powerhouses of other races could see scenes of the future as they approached death. But no one would believe those, if they saw those scenes, it only meant that they were going to die soon.

Agalon relentlessly stared at Lin Yun, hoping to hear some details of the future from Lin Yun.

“Destruction, I saw the apocalypse.”

Hearing this, Agalon closed his eyes, somewhat unwilling. After a few minutes, Agalon continued, “I saw that barren world, that decaying city. But I knew that it was Noscent. That shocking tower’s radiance was supporting the entire world.

“Even if I only saw an image, I knew that the technology contained within that tower far exceeded our current era. I can guess that Noscent had developed to an unimaginable degree prior to the destruction, shocking even the heavens.

“An alchemy tower could support the entire world, the moment that tower’s radiance dissipates, the apocalypse would happen. I believe that this isn’t something one or two Saint Alchemists could accomplish, this might be done by someone stronger than a Saint Alchemist, by a God-like existence that had mastered the truth.

“But, Noscent still ended up destroyed.”

Lin Yun remained silent, somewhat depressed. Ever since he transmigrated, he had been deeply thinking on how to prevent that disaster from descending. He seeked the truth and developed the Natural Demiplane with all his strength. He even started preparations to construct the intact Shelter Tower.

Agalon was also looking for the truth and he might have already guessed that the destruction would be in a very distant future, at least a few dozen millenia later.

Agalon got up and turned towards a simple bookshelf behind him. He took out a thick leather handbook and slowly unfolded it on the table.

“After seeing Noscent’s destruction, I’ve been studying this matter and discovered some issues with Noscent’s history.

“During the first Golden Age, the Gods were the rulers of the land. In that era, humans were only inferior lifeforms, but even Extraordinary lifeforms could die at any time during that era, there were too many powerful lifeforms.

“Each of the 72 Gods could destroy the current Noscent, but during the peak of that era, wars happened between the Gods and all the Gods fell, or possibly disappeared forever.

Everything in that era was huge, whether it was plants or animals. According to the information left behind, I came to the conclusion that the Noscent of that era was far bigger than the current Noscent, far far bigger... That’s the only way for Noscent to be able to support the wars between Gods.”

Lin Yun didn’t speak and remained silent, but he agreed with Agalon’s point of view. In the future, those crazy mages dug through the entire Noscent world and excavated everything. They even excavated many ruins in the Endless Sea.

There was real evidence that during the Golden Age, Noscent’s world was a hundred times bigger than the current Noscent and that the Gods’ wars weren’t able to destroy Noscent.

“The Gods Wars put an end to the Golden Age and the Silver Age began. The Chromatic Dragons and the Pureblood Elves founded the Nesser Dynasty and started ruling the world.

“They weren’t as powerful as Gods, but during their peak, the most powerful existence was no inferior to a God. During the Golden Age, there was records that the most powerful Three-Headed Gold Dragon could fight a physical battle with a God.

“The legacy of that civilization is still being used by the mages, many documents are written in Nesser. It’s different from the Divine Language that contains powerful secrets and power, and which can’t be comprehended by ordinary mages. Many high-end documents of the Starry Sky College are written in Nesser.

“But the powerful Nesser Dynasty rapidly declined due to the Abyss’ invasion. Even if they ended up repelling the Demons back into the Abyss, the fate of the Nesser Dynasty reached its end.”

“The Nesser Dynasty was destroyed and the Chromatic Dragons and Pureblood Elves disappeared from Noscent.

“Then, the 3rd Dynasty was founded, it was Noscent’s bronze age. Mankind started ruling Noscent.

“Countless powerful existence rose and the 3rd Dynasty’s radiance enveloped the entire plane. It was the most glorious era for humans. Now, even the most powerful Odin Kingdom is still supported by the 3rd Dynasty’s inheritance, and they had yet to fully digest it.

“The 3rd Dynasty developed to its peak and started declining rapidly. Chaos and disasters befell and the flourishing 3rd Dynasty was destroyed in the blink of an eye.”

Lin Yun was fascinated as he listened to this. Many things that Agalon knew had disappeared in the long river of history, ‘The Nesser Dynasty’s fall was actually caused by the Abyssal Demons’ invasion?’

‘Isn’t the legend saying that the 3rd Dynasty overthrew the Dragons’ rule?

‘Even though I knew that the legends passed down aren’t reliable, I truly didn’t expect it to be that different. The main cause of the Nesser Dynasty’s destruction was actually the demonic invasion...

‘The Era of Gods ended due to the Gods Wars, there was no doubt about that. But the reason for the fall of the 3rd Dynasty had always remained an unsolved mystery. Even in the future, those mages didn’t have an accurate hypothesis.

‘There are four or five most credible stories regarding the fall of the 3rd Dynasty, each one of them impossible to fault and entirely possible, but what was the truth? Would a direct descendant of the 3rd Dynasty’s royal family know?’

“Sir Agalon, how was the 3rd Dynasty destroyed?”

Agalon looked at Lin Yun and fell silent for a while. He didn’t answer the question and instead continued his explanation.

“I concluded from history that the Era of Gods ended at its peak. The Nesser Dynasty was also destroyed when the radiance of the Chromatic Dragons and Pureblood Elves shone over the entire world.

“As for the 3rd Dynasty, it was also destroyed when they were at their strongest. Even the tower I saw in that image is enough to show that Noscent’s magic civilization developed to its peak before being destroyed.

“There were three destructions with striking similarities. The destruction that would appear in the future appears to be shockingly similar.

“With every destruction, the power level of Noscent would drop once and the world would keep shrinking.

“Some of the powerful lifeforms that appeared in the first three eras are already extinct, and each of the three eras’ destruction tore Noscent apart, but Noscent was still not destroyed.

“Up until the next destruction, Noscent could no longer support the destruction and would be completely torn apart.”

Lin Yun nodded, he had already discovered this. Based on the last few eras’ power level, Noscent would have already been destroyed. Like now, if Agalon fought with all his strength for three months in a row, he would be able to change Noscent’s landscape.

A battle between powerhouses that ignited their Godfire would sink parts of this continent, and it wouldn’t be too difficult for them to destroy Noscent if they wished to.

With Noscent current strength and power level, it simply couldn’t support another disaster.

The three eras were all destroyed at their peak, no, the four eras were all destroyed at their peak. There must definitely be a connection among them.

Agalon didn’t mention the cause behind the destruction of the 3rd Dynasty, but Lin Yun guessed that this might be directly related to the 3rd Dynasty’s royal family, and it must not be something worth bragging about.

Agalon’s expression became heavy and he discreetly altered the Laws of the hilltop. There was even the huge shadow of a Demiplane appearing behind him. All the Laws had changed... It could even be said that this was no longer Noscent!

Lin Yun frowned, but didn’t say anything. Agalon must have his reason for being cautious.

“After discovering these similarities, I made a horrifying guess. The three destructions and the upcoming destruction must have been controlled by a mastermind...

“This can’t be a coincidence, this absolutely can’t be a coincidence.”
