A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 535 Detonating the Demonic Network and Looting the Divine Kingdom

Without destruction, there can be no construction; without the new, there can be no old.

Jiang Shuzhou connected a magic network he had created, and then used it to connect the magic networks of the main plane with those of other planes.

As a powerful divine force, Mystra's magic network covers almost the entire world, though some parts are hidden and others are burned by mages.

But no matter how the mage's fire burned, the magic network could only be destroyed and turned into ruins, but it was never erased.

After all, the construction of the magic network relies on the invisible elemental networks between the main plane and other planes.

To completely destroy it, the only way is to break it from within.

In other words, the Goddess of the Magic Network personally intervened and directly detonated the Magic Network.

However, Jiang Shuzhou has access to the Magic Network, so he can also detonate it.

What consequences will this have?

Simply put, violent elements will permeate the entire prime plane, and these elements will be more violent than ever before.

This is entirely beneficial to Jiang Shuzhou and the mages, without any harm whatsoever.

The increased elemental concentration makes the land of the prime plane more fertile, and makes it easier for mages to cultivate and advance. At the same time, the large accumulation of elements also reduces the difficulty of obtaining magical materials.

This is all great news.

The only downside is that this might cause other spellcasters to be unable to control the raging elements, leading to problems with spellcasting. Of course, this can also happen to some mediocre mages.

In addition, the training difficulty for warriors and other professions will increase, but the training speed will also increase accordingly.

Overall, it's all good news. As for those mages who can't even control the berserk element? Such trash shouldn't be called mages; they should just die already.

Soon, under Jiang Shuzhou's command, the magic network began to self-destruct at an extremely fast speed, with violent elements overflowing from within it.

The lingering poison of the Magic Network has finally been completely eradicated.

At the same time, Jiang Shuzhou could sense that Mystra's soul was also shattered, and from then on, He could never be resurrected.

"The age of gods has ended; the age of legends and mages has begun."

As he watched the magical network, which resembled a high-voltage power grid, collapse, Jiang Shuzhou smiled with satisfaction.

Of course, Jiang Shuzhou's actions were not without cost. The cost was that the magic network he built himself was also affected by the backlash and has now completely collapsed.

But it's not a big problem. It was just a small, experimental magic net anyway, so it's perfect for this.

After finishing this task, Jiang Shuzhou took out the fragment of Heim's soul, intending to use it to locate the location of Heim's divine realm.

Now, it's time to seize the spoils.

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The All Saints Alliance, the largest church of Tyre, the god of justice, and also the seat of the Pope, is located in the Church of Justice.

"What's going on? Why can't I hear the echo of my gods?"

"Me too!"

The legendary priests looked alarmed.

Not long ago, the Pope passed away.

Without a doubt, the Holy War failed. The Chahara and Renodia left behind by Jiang Shuzhou were both at the level of weak divine power. Apart from the incarnation of a god, almost no legend could withstand them.

Even the Pope is the same.

The church is now leaderless and God has not responded, which has plunged them into panic.

"God, where are you?"

In the church of Heim, the god of protection.

"Ahhh."

Accompanied by wails, one priest after another bled from their seven orifices and died from exhaustion.

As pastors who share in God's glory, their lives are bound to the divine body.

Now that Heim has been killed by Jiang Shuzhou, the fate of these priests will naturally not be good.

"The gods have fallen!"

"No! How could this be? How could this be!"

Painful cries and immense sorrow swept over every pastor and even among believers.

Soon, a large number of believers chose to commit suicide, hoping to enter God's kingdom with their souls in exchange for God's resurrection.

But their souls showed no sign of being guided.

Because Jiang Shuzhou detonated the magic network.

Throughout history, deities have used the Inner Demon Network to communicate with believers and guide their souls.

Now that the magic network is gone, the other gods are alright, they just have to rebuild communication and do it themselves, which is time-consuming and laborious. But Heim is different.

Since He is dead, He naturally cannot do these things by Himself and can only do so through the rules that were previously established.

However, if the magic net is gone, then everything is gone.

In short, the believers died in vain.

Their deaths will not help Heim's resurrection.

It remains to be seen whether those gods who have sworn not to encroach on faith and territory will actually help the followers of Heim during this time of chaos.

Jiang Shuzhou was very curious about this.

However, he has more important things to do now.

That is to rob the Kingdom of God that believers yearn for.

"Wow, they're really rich!"

Using his divine soul, Jiang Shuzhou tracked down the Kingdom of Heim. Gazing at the vast wealth, he uttered a sound of ignorance.

"Who are you, my god...?"

The guards who tried to stop him were slapped away by Jiang Shuzhou.

With time running out and the task pressing, Jiang Shuzhou needed to quickly loot these things. Taking advantage of the Demonic Network's outbreak and the fact that the gods were too busy to deal with him, he needed to grab everything he could.

As for the Kingdom of Gods?

Then we'll just have to leave it for now. We'll come back after Jiang Shuzhou builds the floating city and dismantle this thing completely.

Now, Jiang Shuzhou has no time to fool around.

"Star Core, Abyssal Fel Iron, Ancient Dragon Heart, Void Crystal, Thread of Fate, Arcane Metal, and... a Fragment of the Sun?!"

"Good heavens, you've hidden a piece of your colleague's remains here, huh? That's incredible."

These materials are all extremely valuable, and many of them can be used to build Jiang Shuzhou's floating city.

For example, the core of the stars can serve as the energy storage center of the floating city, and the heart of the ancient dragon can serve as the energy core of the flesh and blood.

The threads of fate can be used as a concealment system for floating cities, granting them the ability to shield themselves from the gaze of fate.

Sun fragments can provide light and promote the growth of magical materials.

In addition, there are a vast amount of divine crystals, all of which are Heim's accumulated wealth.

Now, Jiang Shuzhou can go and spend some money at Woking again.

It can be said that Jiang Shuzhou made a fortune this time. He calculated that the materials for building the secondary project were almost ready, and construction could begin immediately.

In addition, Jiang Shuzhou also found a very interesting piece of knowledge from the first legendary mage in history, Melvo.
