Rip—!
The white robe tore apart, and with four hooves on the ground, Aiven involuntarily transford into his unique [Mythical Form].
The lower body was an extrely robust white stag, with shimring silver scales faintly visible on its surface and glowing rune tattoos like vine-like spell marks, while four small white wings sprouted from the golden hooves.
The upper body remained a burly and muscular male human form, with clearly defined muscles on the arms, chest, and abdon, full of explosive power, and a handso face wearing a smile that seed almost inhumanly perfect.
He stood nearly five ters tall, comparable to a gigantic war elephant.
Other changes were minimal, but his eyes, when open, transford from black to shining gold, and the four horns on his head underwent complete mutation and rged into a golden-red "Mountain Crown."
Looking at the eagerly anticipating Angie and the two artificially created races that were also receiving certain improvents, especially Apollo and Artemis, Aiven felt a stirring in his heart.
Swish!
Without any Extraordinary Spiritual Light flashing, he transford effortlessly, like breathing, into a Gem Spirit, Invisible Son, Giant, Giant Dragon, Angel, Demon...
Even into creatures that had never appeared in this world before, such as the Eastern Divine Dragon, King Kong, Godzilla, Alien... with every transformation, he could automatically mimic the corresponding Extraordinary Abilities.
The "Crowned Wizard" represents a certain limit of human understanding of the world, a master of this path, a powerful being surpassing all of humanity.
He has completely accomplished the essential transformation from human to non-human, recognized by the Origin and bestowed with a "Crown," becoming the ultimate manifestation of a part of world rules.
The power Aiven possesses originates from [Creation], requiring no Magic Power consumption, and all species changes have beco as easy as eating or drinking for him.
Creating beings has beco simpler than before; he can easily create certain Tier 3 creatures at will.
After a small trial with a sledgehamr, Aiven thought of one of the most important gains after his advancent, facing the eastern side of the Black Sea from Long Island, taking a step forward, and murmured:
"Crowned as King, wherever I stand is my land."
[Forbidden Curse: King's Declaration]
Shush!
In his view, a faint golden light erged, with countless runes, techniques, spell imprints, and circular chains crisscrossing and colliding in the golden light, only to disappear again.
However, Aiven felt that he had already resonated with the world, like playing "Minecraft," able to control everything within a diater of several tens of kiloters at will, including magnetic fields, Magic Elents, land, sky, oceans, plants, and animals...
Snap—!
Snapping his fingers, he tentatively had a slight thought.
Whoa...
In front of him, the vast Black Sea unexpectedly split open, forming a crack several ters wide, extending tens of kiloters away, with fish unaware as they continued swimming in the tall water wall.
To split the sea with a thought seed almost like wielding the divine power of a god, sothing a Tier 4 Physical Side Transcendent could never achieve.
And Aiven didn't feel any strain.
Of course, this was not only the effect of the [Forbidden Curse] but also the empowernt from the [Divinity] within him.
This ability, with its vast potential, allows almost any spoken word to co true with the right developnt.
Additionally, after granting the bearer the preliminary qualification for immortality, another important function of [Divinity] is providing a high-dinsional perspective.
Allowing them to see and comprehend various high-dinsional information without losing control is also the world's recognition of their Extraordinary Status.
Since mutual understanding is possible, it implies the potential for reciprocal harm or defense, a Power of Miracle beyond ordinary existence.
Typically, although the power of [Divinity] is strong, obtaining it is also extrely challenging, with only a few mainstream thods:
First, after a wizard advances to Tier 4, through continuous research and analysis of truth, if the resonance with a certain rule is high enough, the world's origin may respond and grant a bit.
But considering Watt spent at least 1,500 years without achieving this, it shows the imnse difficulty involved, not to ntion an elent of luck.
Second, following the path of a god by spreading one's na in the world, enduring long years and gradually accumulating, until a bit of divinity is born from the limitless faith of living beings.
This thod is feasible, but to compete with nurous True Gods, Demigods, and Evil Gods for faith might result in being slapped to death by a higher existence before even gathering any divinity.
Third, promoting trends and world progress, exchanging large quantities of [World's Favor] with world consciousness for [Divinity].
Relatively reliable, yet still extrely difficult.
Fourth, plundering divine creatures.
But just as with other creatures' organs, obtaining them doesn't guarantee successful fusion, and even if fusion occurs, rejection reactions might still happen. The most common application is using them to forge a [Titled Sacred Artifact].
However, Aiven has the advantage of benefiting from the shade of a big tree.
As the oldest school that completed its accumulation over an entire era, the "Life Tree School" enables Crowned Wizards to directly receive [Divinity] bestowed by world consciousness upon advancent.
He has already surpassed the vast majority of wizard schools.
Moreover, even most divine creatures possess only a bit of divinity, while demigod levels typically have three to five points.
Aiven, leveraging the "Life Tree," its vast accumulation, and the advancent of [Genetic Code: Genetics].
Aiven completely exhausted the massive "World's Favor" he had gained by being the first to step into space, na planets, and act as a distinguished promoter in the steam industry wave, obtaining two points all at once!
After a period of developnt, although his power strength might still not rival the "King of Sea Monsters" Kraken, he shouldn't be considered weak at the Divine Creatures level.
...
A few days later.
Boom...
Roar!
As Aiven ascended, in the ever-expanding Witchcraft Garden now reaching 900 square kiloters, the sibling duo Aiven and Anita sat facing each other, both wearing matching loungewear.
Above their heads.
A gigantic dragon shadow with slender form and wings on its back surged through the rolling waves, suddenly raising its head to emit a dragon roar that echoed across the heavens and earth.
Additionally, there was an ocean transford by Thunderbolt, within which a sharp figure akin to a fish or a saber continuously swam, shaking its head and wagging its tail.
The siblings, deeply connected, caused the universe-shaking Thunderous Dragon Roar to rge into one, and a sense of imminent transformation intensified ever more.
Evidently, they were preparing to make a unified effort to simultaneously complete their Titled Sacred Artifacts, adding another golden layer to their duchy.
However, before the siblings truly completed yet another ascension, they were interrupted by unexpected news.
"Chief, I've completed the task you entrusted to ."
It was Leonara, excitedly coming over after completing the "Molecular Evolution Clock Theory."
"Oh? How did it turn out?"
Aiven's eyes suddenly lit up, disregarding the nurturing of the Titled Sacred Artifact to quickly inquire.
The substitution numbers of a certain protein among different species, closely linear to the divergence ti among the studied species, hence calling this steady molecular-level variation the "Molecular Evolution Clock."
Previously, Calvin's "Evolution Theory" and Jacob's still-perfecting "Life Tree Diagram" had already proven that all life on Herag Star originated from a common ancestor.
The genetic material collected by Aiven from the Zongderilic People and Muriyans proved that humans, the rulers of the Fifth Era, were also lineal descendants of ancient civilizations.
It is easy to deduce that the civilized humans of the First Era should be the ancestors of all subsequent civilizations.
And the period in which this civilization lived is very important for determining the epoch limits, the key solution to the question Aiven previously raised in Muriya: "How long does our Fifth Era have until its end?"
"Chief, I've repeatedly verified it. According to the protein calculations, humans have lasted for 3 million years till today!"
"3 million years?"
The answer given by the Molecular Evolution Clock was sowhat unexpected to Aiven.
Because the source of Extraordinary Power cos from the Spirit Realm Sun.
This ans that intelligent beings represented by humans connect to the Spirit Realm to obtain Extraordinary Power, while simultaneously having to face the epoch alternations starting 3 million years ago.
However, a problem erges here.
Every Magical Transcendent knows that the source of all Extraordinary Power in this world—the Spirit Realm's power—fluctuates in a tidal manner.
Epochs are the major cycles, with small cycles being the moon's movent. Everyone knows the small cycle's duration is a month.
But the epoch scale is too lengthy, even the majority of True Gods haven't lasted that long.
Looking at the Golden Kingdom filled with various Divine Descendants, one realizes how many gods have fallen just in this era.
Most gods from the beginning of every epoch have long been swept away by storms.
At least among the Seven Gods currently active in the Material World, even the longest-lasting one hasn't exceeded a lifespan of 100,000 years.
However, the Era Relic they previously saw in the Muriyan Civilization, precisely dated to 500,000 years before its destruction, using its inscriptions, also matched the relics from the end of the Second Era Ehecoatl Civilization.
From this, it can be deduced that every Great Spiritual Tide and epoch alternation cycle is most likely 500,000 years.
Now that it's the Fifth Era Tonatiuh Civilization, if divided equally into five segnts, the averaged span of 3 million years is 600,000 years.
"Hmm? The discrepancy is indeed too large, inconsistent with the epoch cycle."
Gulp!
At this thought, Aiven's heart suddenly leapt violently.
Unless there existed a super-ancient civilization before the First Era!
The Fifth Era recorded in the Zorjin Calendar might actually be the Sixth Era.
This also explains why, since there are four large islands belonging to the Remnant Race from west to east within the Broken Star Sea, what's behind the Door?!
At this mont, when recalculated averages are applied, the result would be perfect, with each epoch roughly spanning 500,000 years, any discrepancies likely only being around a millennium.
This includes the current Fifth Era...
