"Roy! Do you know what wizards in this world do when casting magic?"

"I don't know!" Roy shook his head sharply.

"Hehe," the old man smiled nonchalantly, "it's a spell!"

"Any mage who wants to cast magic must recite a spell!"

As Roy looked at him with a skeptical expression on his face, the old man explained, "Of course, when your level of magic reaches a certain level, some simple magic doesn't need to be spoken out, and it can be completed silently in your heart. Moreover, as you become more aware of the existence of magic, you will also find that there are some subtle differences between magic and when you first started learning it."

"The more thoroughly you understand magic, the shorter the time it takes to cast it. Almost all wizards believe that this is a natural manifestation of their mastery of magic."

"But! Ben, it shouldn't be like this!"

The old man's small eyes said that there was a ray of light shining from here.

"In the earliest records, magic, like fighting spirit, was a magical power bestowed upon humanity by God after a great disaster thousands of years ago. Prior to this, there was no existence of magic or fighting spirit."

"God bestowed upon humans magic and curses, enabling them to control the infinite power of elements in this world."

"Hehe!" The old man smiled eerily, "Now there is still a huge golden monument standing on the inner courtyard square of the Divine Court, which is engraved with divine texts. Legend has it that all magic spells were translated from that golden monument by the twelve divine attendants a thousand years ago. Therefore, the Divine Court is the eternal holy land in the hearts of all magicians. A few hundred years ago, there was a wizard who was undoubtedly a genius among geniuses. He requested to see that golden monument, but was not allowed. In the end, he was willing to be enemies with the Divine Court, taking advantage of the night, relying on himself." Unmatched magical cultivation broke into the square in the inner courtyard, guess what happened later! "

Seeing the old man's gaze, Roy felt that the old man was getting off topic again. "I don't know!" Roy shook his head.

"In the end, he died ten steps away from the Golden Monument. Legend has it that the spell on the monument only flashed a few times before summoning a vast amount of magic, turning the rampant wizard on the continent into flying ash in an instant. From then on, no one dared to ask to see the Golden Monument again. The wizard also cherished the magic spells he had learned even more, and for over a thousand years, there were very few lost magic spells."

"Can you understand the importance of spells for us mages when I say that?" The old man suddenly turned around and asked Roy.

Roy was taken aback: This old man really has a jumping ability when telling stories! "Almost so! Anyway, the spell is very important, so it's over!"

The old man didn't pay attention to Roy's tone. "No one has ever counted tens of thousands of magic spells until now! Humans can do almost anything with these spells, and everything seems to be solved with magic. God seems to have given us everything, but..." The old man's words abruptly paused, his face never more serious!

"But I found out that God is deceiving humanity!" The old man's hoarse voice was incredibly clear!

"What!?" Roy was surprised!

This old man dares to doubt the gods!

Although Roy was an atheist in the past, of course, this may have been a resistance to the less beautiful memories of childhood. But since he inexplicably traveled to this world and a bunch of strange things happened, Roy firmly believed that whether it was the Jade Emperor, the Buddha, or anyone else, there must be such a deity on his head!

"According to the records of the Divine Court, the gods bestowed upon humans magic, and humans summoned the power of the gods through spells recognized by the gods to drive the power of the elements."

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

"But as I mentioned earlier, with the deepening of magic cultivation, magic is undergoing subtle changes. Do you know what this change is?"

Ask me again! Roy shook his head very decisively again.

"It's a spell!" The old man said these three words, with a red light on his face. "After using the same magic tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times, you will find that the spell you want to recite is different from the beginning. Some words can be omitted, and it doesn't matter if you add your own habitual wrong pronunciation. The magic is still that magic!"

Roy really doesn't know what the old man is going to say to him this time.

"Do you think that we humans can freely modify the spells designated by God?"

"Well, we shouldn't be able to make many changes, maybe as long as our rough willpower reaches the gods, we can use magic."

"Not bad!" The old man looked at Roy with a smile, "You think the same as I did back then!"

"I swear! I was just curious at the time, just curious! After all, the power to govern this world at will is a power that only God has! This has great attraction to me."

"I started trying to cast magic without using spells."

The old man grinned his lips to both sides, unable to tell whether he was crying or laughing.

"As a result, three years later, I actually succeeded!"

The air in front of Roy twisted again, and a sudden mist appeared in the air, slowly condensing into a water ball that constantly changed in various shapes in the air. The old man's shining eyes were fixed on the constantly changing water masses in the air.

"We don't need the blessings and spells of gods, it's up to our own human will!"

"We can also control the fundamental power between heaven and earth! The power of God!"

Roy opened his mouth wide in shock and looked at the dry old man. What is this old man really studying!?

"Hehe, be surprised! However, this is all true!"

"I was just as surprised as you were at the time, no, it should be said that I was frightened. All of this overturned my lifelong faith."

"Everything I discovered, perhaps it shouldn't have been discovered! I searched for relevant literature and materials in all the places I could find, but what scared me was that I found an imperceptible hidden trace in it: once I touched on such content, literature and materials were always inexplicably lost or damaged, and none of the wizards associated with these literature and materials were still living in this world."

Roy couldn't help but take a deep breath of air conditioning, how could it sound like a kind of cleaning!

"I secretly investigated alone for a long time, and everything seemed to have countless connections with the divine court. Fortunately, I always thought I couldn't succeed and didn't discuss this matter with anyone."

"I am both anxious and excited all day long. I feel like I will be erased from the world at any moment, and I am so close to the truth."

"Finally, I chose to leave. I came to this uninhabited place to calm down and fully appreciate this power, while also avoiding unknown dangers."

Roy's heart couldn't help but jump when he heard this!

"You! You! What is it now!?" Roy asked with great difficulty.

"Of course it's a person! Do you think I've become a god?" The old man glared at Roy in frustration.

"Exploring such things alone, the difficulties are unimaginable! There is no such good thing, just becoming a god. My current level of magic is probably only half of what I used to be."

How come this has regressed a lot!?

Seeing Roy's skeptical expression, the old man snorted.

"So I said, 'God is deceiving and restraining humanity!'"

"Immersed in magic for a lifetime, but always obtaining magical control from a massive amount of spells. Even if you achieve great magic and dominate the world, you are still circling in the small circle drawn by God. The methods that already exist around us to control the fundamental power of this world can never be touched. God allows us to master some low-level rules, but they also use these rules to tightly trap us!"

"Only when your cultivation becomes increasingly profound and your perception of magic becomes extremely sensitive, can you have a hint of vague doubt. However, this is because you have been deeply branded by God, and countless spells have become your instinct! To gods, humans are just free range livestock!"

"Hehe!" The old man laughed bitterly.

"Can you overturn your beliefs, give up your persistent career, and start all over again?"

"Moreover, the vast majority of people are influenced by God's beliefs and have not even noticed the subtle differences among them!"

The old man took a deep breath and a hint of despair appeared on his face.

"It is very difficult to directly control the power of elements with one's own will, and it is not as simple as you imagine. Moreover, the method of controlling magic obtained from spells for many years has become the biggest obstacle now. As a result, I have not used spell magic for many years, but despite my best efforts, these two spells are almost my limit now."

Roy's mind was a bit disorganized: Old man, why do you argue with the gods if you have nothing to do? Curses are just spells, it's not the same kind of life! Make sure to put yourself in this difficult situation! How wronged you are!

"So, I chose you to do things for me that I couldn't possibly do!" The old man's eyes lit up again!

Hmm? Roy was still complaining to the old man in his heart, and suddenly felt that his words were not right!

What does choosing me mean?

You compete with God, this matter has nothing to do with me!
