Chapter 556: Arcane Change
An ancient city on the European continent, which serves as the address of the Holy City, is a center of European power.
The brick-and-tiled streets were bustling with people, whether ordinary people or arcanists, all of whom looked at the castle with fascination.
From time to time, there are people who walk outside the castle and send the most devout prayers, and no one will feel that it is inappropriate, only that it should be, because there is an absolute authority here, and there is an absolutely sacred force, the International Court of Arbitration, the official international arbitration institution, it stands here, and it has been here since the day it was founded, as if it is going to exist forever.
With it, people's lives have a lot of guarantees, and there is a tendency to get better, because many people look at the ancient castle, and there is no fear of being ruled in their eyes, only gratitude and pilgrimage.
It was a magnificent castle, not too magnificent, and if you made a film, you would even think that it was a film of ancient Europe.
In the style of the castle, you can see a large number of traces of ancient Europe, which not only has the solemnity and coercion of ancient European architecture, but also has the trend and fashion of modern architecture.
However, the basic style has not changed, and it still tends to be harsh and intimidating, because this is the arbitration body, responsible for arresting criminal arcanists from all over the world.
The reason why it is called the holy city of Europe is also because of the International Court of Arbitration.
On the edge of the atmosphere of the west wall, there were streets and alleys, bustling people, and high-ranking officials who were hurrying, but they all avoided the ancient castle, as if they were afraid that their breath would tremble to the sacred International Court of Arbitration.
Because of its location in Europe, although the International Court of Arbitration is composed of various countries, it is mainly dominated by European countries that have modern magic skills and are world leaders in arcane arts, such as the United Kingdom, France, and Germany......
They have experienced an unknown number of times for the improvement of the arcane, and about a hundred years ago, they even relied on the arcane cultivation to launch an invasion of China.
And from that invasion a hundred years ago, it can be regarded as the modern beginning of the world's arcane.
At the same time, thanks to that invasion, China's arcane system began to be extended, adding such as space, time, and martial spirits...... and so on.
Speaking of which, we have to talk about the "Arcane Change" that everyone in the arcane world knows.
The story still has to start with the European invasion.
From the beginning of the invasion of China by European countries, the borders between countries began, and after that, exchanges between countries were established, but soon, under the conflict of interests, several wars broke out among human countries.
With the accumulation of contradictions, the battles between various countries have reached the point of irreconcilability, and the contradictions have gradually turned into feuds.
But in the end, with the gradual progress of the arcane, humans discovered a truth, the comprehensive strength of demons is hundreds of times that of humans, and the reason why demons did not annex humans is just to keep humans in captivity, just like humans keep animals in captivity.
After that, humanity was still not aware of their future, so the wars between countries did not subside, but often continued to fight each other due to cultural conflicts and so on.
Until one day, when I woke up, there was one less superpower in the world, and that place became a black forbidden land, becoming a real demon empire.
Mankind finally realized the problem, and the flames of war began to die out little by little, and from then on, countries began to resolve their contradictions, and mankind really began to join forces and learn to cooperate with each other.
Cultural differences, geographical differences, and the origins of arcane vary from country to country, and it is precisely because of these that there are actually multiple systems of human arcane, and the world has begun to accept this. But the good times didn't last long, and occasionally a country collapsed and turned into a demonic territory overnight, which was a thorn in the flesh and stabbed people's hearts fiercely.
Those low-level arcanists are okay, they can't touch that level at all, and they can't feel the horror of a day's annihilation. But the stronger the person, the more they can feel the crisis facing humanity. Especially under the collapse of one country after another, but there is no way to do it, the anxiety of those strong people is increasing day by day, and every time a country falls, there will be a sting in the heart.
The stronger the person, the more there is a sense of crisis, which is accompanied by ability and responsibility. As strong people, the responsibilities that come with competence do not allow them to stay out of the situation. Being able to be promoted to the realm of transcendence, although there is a suspicion of chasing interests, but it is also very clear that there is a very simple truth, and if it continues like this, even if these super strong people can hide all the time, but until what day can they hide?
Could it be that the day when all the countries are wiped out, and only their group of super strong people are gone?
At that time, let's not talk about whether they can survive or not, in that case, what's the point?
Therefore, if you want low-level arcanists to grow quickly, you need to start from the root and adopt the system that is most conducive to the growth of arcanists, but this system is different from country to country.
At that time, the strong men were eager to find an arcane system, which was the most suitable for humanity as a whole.
It was in that environment that the superpowers of several great powers showed up and held a meeting to discuss the future of humanity and the arcane system. It is not known where, where, in what month or year the meeting was held, and the history books list the meeting as a taboo content, and it is not recorded at all.
It wasn't long after that that the countries of the world sent their own super powers, and the cultivation was all forbidden to start, and it is conceivable how much attention countries attached to that meeting.
The forbidden curse powerhouses of various countries gathered together, and after a day and a night of secret talks, they disappeared in secret. No one knows where they have gone, they have disappeared without a trace, even the heads of state do not know, the only thing they know is that they are going to do a big thing, something enough to change the fate of mankind.
The disappearance of hundreds of forbidden spell powerhouses in various countries is tantamount to a big weakening of the arcane strength of the world as a whole, but fortunately, nothing major has happened in the years since they left, and the demon empire is still the same as before, only occasionally launching some invasions.
As time went on, the matter faded into obscurity.
In this way, their departure lasted for about ten years.
Ten years later, when people had long forgotten about the forbidden curse powerhouses who had disappeared together, a group of powerhouses appeared in the sky, and it was the powerhouses who disappeared back then.
They're back.
When those forbidden spell powerhouses appeared, those who came to greet them were stunned, because those forbidden spell powerhouses were only fifty or sixty years old when they left, but after returning, everyone seemed to have aged many years, and it was an old man with white hair. Their eyes still shone with wisdom, but their skin was as chapped as orange peels, and there was a foul smell on their bodies, as if half of their bodies had stepped into the grave.
It was as if they had spent not ten years, but thirty or forty years.
At the same time, some people have noticed that many forbidden spell powerhouses did not come out in the end, and it is very likely that they have died of old age, or died due to accidents, and people do not know, because those forbidden spell powerhouses who came out are silent about what they did after leaving.
Later, these forbidden curse powerhouses began to return to various countries, and after they were hidden in the world, they did not reappear.
Shortly after this, in 1945, the Arcane Society of the Six Continents was founded, with the world powers taking turns at the helm. The Arcane Association of the Six Continents represents the absolute center of power in the arcane world and the power at the pinnacle of the arcane level of mankind, so it is also called the World Arcane Association.
On the tenth day of the establishment of the Arcane Society on the Six Continents, a document called the Arcane Pact was introduced, which defined what people in this arcane world could do, and explicitly defined heresy. In addition, in order to prevent countries from fighting among themselves again and depleting the strength of humanity as a whole, the resources of each country are divided.
At the same time, the Arcane Association of the Six Continents also retains a part of its resources, which are used to operate the Arcane Association of the Six Continents on the one hand, and to be used as a public resource on the other hand, to promote the strength and progress of various countries. It was also at that time that the Arcane Society of the Six Continents began to hold various international competitions, such as the World University Competition, in which the young generation of each country won or lost, and finally determined the allocation of public resources in the next few years.
It was also on that day that the Arcane Society of the Six Continents promulgated a document that is now the most commonly used arcane classic textbook in all countries.
Soon after, the great powers of the academic world took it to study and discuss this unpublished document, and it was not long before the great powers of the academic world spoke of a new arcane system that applied to all mankind.
Being able to get all the academic powers to comment on this, and no one to refute it, has caused an astonishing wave in the academic world, and it has also set off a storm in the hearts of ordinary arcanists. Although no one says who wrote this document, those who have some truth, but those who know some of the inside story of the past know that it is compiled by the forbidden spell powerhouse who has disappeared from the white position for ten years!!
At the same time, the Arcane Association of the Six Continents announced that this document would be used as a textbook for all the followers, and from then on, the classical Arcane system began to be established, and the difficulty of people cultivating Arcane was suddenly reduced by half, and the juniors turned into a new generation of backwaves and forged ahead!
With the passage of time, people gradually realized the changes of the younger generations, and this change began from the day the document was promulgated!!
At this time, people understand a little, and finally know what is going on.
Those who once stood at the top of the world, they joined forces, spent an unknown number of years, immersed themselves in a secret realm, in which, they joined forces to share the arcane system between countries, and began to improve and research, combining the advantages and disadvantages of the arcane systems of various countries, and integrating the advantages and commonalities of each arcane system. At the same time, it leaves malleability on the basis of the original, so that those who later use this arcane system can have a large space for themselves to create their own magic.
Although those peak cultivators have disappeared for ten years, there is an arcane system in the world, a time system.
Maybe it was ten years for them, but for the hundreds of forbidden spells that disappeared, it was decades, so long that some forbidden spells couldn't even survive the day when they came out alive, and they could only leave their dry bones in that secret place.
This pinnacle work, which gathered the cultivation and wisdom of hundreds of pinnacle forbidden spells, but it was announced and made it widely spread in the world, and thanks to this, the arcane level of mankind began to leap forward in the following decades.
While the Arcane Society of the Six Continents was grateful to those who had forbidden spells, it also began to compile history.
The top brass of the World Arcane Association erased some of the details of this and recorded it in the history of mankind in a grand way, calling it the Arcane Change.
Since then, it's now the Arcane Age.
