"You're my father?"

The voice of the soul that emitted a golden glow echoed directly in Zuo Si's mind.

Since it has just been born without any gender recognition, it sounds like a two- or three-year-old child full of innocence.

Of course, anyone who really thinks of him as an ignorant child is very wrong.

No matter how you say it, this is also a life forged through life magic with the soul energy of tens of millions of ordinary people.

Therefore, even without any malice, the huge gap in the level of unconscious formation alone is enough to terrify the unconscious souls wandering around the deep well of souls, and they continue to retreat backwards in patches.

Zuo Si nodded very tiredly: "Yes, I am your father and your creator at the same time. Tell me, how are you feeling now? ”

"Feeling...... It seems a little strange. Because my spirit can reach outward infinitely, hearing the voices and thoughts of thousands of beings, but not intervening in any way. ”

The newborn soul spoke with a hint of doubt and incomprehension, and at the same time looked at the souls around the deep well with a slight pity that were constantly forgetting and losing themselves.

He could feel that the ultimate fate of these people was to die out permanently, to turn into the energy at the bottom of this huge rift under his feet, which he didn't know how deep it was.

"That's because you don't have a body yet, a body worthy of your powerful soul. Well, the phoenix fire next to it is the body I specially prepared for you. ”

As he spoke, Zuo Si raised his right hand, which was only a bone left, and made a gesture of please.

"Body ......"

The newborn soul quickly set its gaze on the supernatural flame that burned overhead.

As Angel Poisoncore's corpse was completely devoured, those remaining divine powers had completely fused with the blood of the phoenix, forming a new form.

This is also why Zuo Si must use the great druid body that has been blessed by nature as a raw material.

Only the Great Druid has the ability to transform naturally and elementally at the same time, and can absorb the power of the blood of the phoenix in this world to the maximum, so that it can be strengthened and even sublimated to a certain extent.

In this way, it is possible for the created gods to be reborn from the ashes and never die like a phoenix.

Of course, this is only theoretical, and it is unknown whether it will really work in practice.

Anyway, Zuo Si has reached the limit of his current ability, and the rest can only be left to luck.

After all, he was still too young compared to an ancient brigade mage like Sorin Markov, he had traveled too few worlds, and the knowledge and magic he had gathered were relatively poor.

The newborn soul floated lightly in front of the giant flame phoenix, and reached out to touch the body lightly.

Moment!

The immortal bird seemed to come to life, and began to spin around him with its wings.

In the face of that powerful attraction that words could not describe, the newborn soul had no resistance at all, and directly turned into a ray of light and drilled into it.

Next Second......

The phoenix, which was made entirely of energy, quickly began to shrink dramatically, eventually turning into a fireball that emitted an astonishing amount of heat, like a miniature version of a small sun.

And the infinite energy in the deep well of the soul below is the root of its existence.

The two are bound together by a bond that is invisible to the naked eye.

"What is he doing here?"

The diary couldn't help but ask through the psychic connection.

"He's incubating and reinventing his body. Sorin Markov said that the essence of the magic of creating life is to provide all the ingredients and then let life evolve on its own. If the Creator interferes too much, it will not do any good at all, except for adding unnecessary problems and defects. Zuo Si stared at the fireball and explained in a nonchalant tone.

"Are you sure Sorin Markov's words are credible?"

The journal was clearly suspicious of the Ancient Brigade mage's motives.

In its view, knowledge, especially advanced magical knowledge, is invariably something that cannot be measured by money and wealth.

But what about Sorrin?

It was so easy to teach it all to his master, without even the slightest reservation.

This is not normal no matter how you look at it, and it is even possible that there is some hidden conspiracy.

Especially when he learned the purpose of Zuosi's study of life magic, a meaningful smile appeared on Sorin Markov's face, and it was really difficult for people to associate it with the word "good man".

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders disapprenosingly: "Don't worry." My new teacher, though a little withdrawn, aloof, selfish, and a little more vicious, is not the kind of guy who likes to engage in intrigues. He may have hidden a hand in the teaching process, but not so much that he will fool me. What's more, I have my own judgment about magic, and I don't trust anyone completely. ”

"Well, I hope you're right."

Realizing that the master had already made his own decision in this matter, the journal decisively closed his mouth.

In any case, its duty is only to provide a completely different point of view from the perspective of the past as a reference, and it is Zuo Si himself who really holds the decision.

After standing aside and waiting for more than ten hours, the fireball floating above the deep well of the soul finally showed a terrifying light like the moment of the explosion of a nuclear weapon, and the entire world after death was directly covered in white.

Eventually, a golden phoenix with flames burning all over its body slowly flew out from the center of the explosion and landed gently on Zuo Si's shoulder.

You don't need to ask to know that he is the god created by Zuo Si, and he is also the first god born in this world, and the only god.

"Father, I can interfere with everything now."

The newborn phoenix god still maintained a childlike voice, and the golden flames on his body did not affect or ignite Zuo Si's clothes in the slightest.

I saw him lower his head and gently peck with his sharp beak, and Zuo Si's right hand that was already only a bone remained.

Moment!

A golden flame burst out, enveloping the entire hand.

In the blink of an eye, the muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and skin that had disappeared grew back.

By the time the flames were extinguished, the injured right hand had recovered without even a single scar.

Obviously, this is the power that the Phoenix God possesses.

Zuo Si raised his arm and moved his five fingers slightly, feeling the residual energy characteristics and residual warmth, and asked with interest: "Is there an energy flame that can make people infinitely regenerate?" To what extent can it go? ”

"As long as the flame is still burning, no matter how destroyed the body is, even if the heart and brain are gone, it can still be restored to its best state."

The god of the phoenix gave the answer without thinking.

"It's a good ability, let's call it the fire of eternal life."

Zuo Si immediately thought of a name for this flame.

He is undoubtedly very satisfied with this ability.

Because the Eternal Fire not only heals and regenerates, but is also a divine power that tends to positive energy, it can cause unimaginable damage to a range of powerful undead creatures, including lichs, dragon lichs, death knights, winter ghosts, and more.

You must know that the reason why a creature like a god can override all living beings is that all attacks with divine power cannot be reduced through attributes such as magic resistance and immunity, and even armor such as armor and shields are often useless.

This means that those powerful monsters and mortals with very high class levels will lose their greatest advantage, and the slightest mistake may be killed instantly.

Let's take the simplest example.

It is also the Finger of Death in necromantic magic, and a legendary mage may only be able to take out enemies or monsters that are much weaker than his own.

The reason for this is that the higher the level and the stronger the monster, the stronger its magic resistance and immunity usually become.

Therefore, at the same level, it is almost impossible for instant death magic like Death Finger to achieve the desired effect without using resistance reduction and immunity spells.

But if a god with the priesthood of death is added to cast divine power, then this death finger can instantly kill almost any creature that lacks divine power and divine spark.

If he encounters a powerful undead creature again, Zuo Si can directly deal a fatal blow to the opponent through the Eternal Fire.

The only thing he wasn't sure about was whether the connection of the lands alone would be able to summon this kind of divine power flame in other worlds, especially Feren, who was controlled by the god Io, or simply create a projection or even an incarnation of a phoenix.

As for making a living god into a card, with the current level of the Brigade Mage and the Spark, you know that you can't do it with your ass.

Not to mention a god, even an artifact like the Divine Impact Scepter is beyond the scope of its ability to be cardified.

In addition, with the protection of the Phoenix God, there is no need to worry too much about the lack of high-end combat power in the world under your feet, and it will quickly collapse once it is invaded by powerful forces.

"Do you have any other abilities besides the Flame of Eternal Life?" Zuo Si stared at the beautiful bird on his shoulder and continued to ask.

Although it is already a true god, the phoenix does not look very large, only slightly larger than the macaw.

Compared to Dumbledore's pet Fawkes, he is more like an underage little guy.

And he didn't have a single feather, not even a physical entity, and was made entirely of burning golden flames.

Without thinking, the phoenix replied, "In addition to the Eternal Fire, I also have the ability to be reborn after being severely damaged, the ability to devour souls to restore my strength, the ability to release high-temperature flames to incinerate everything, and some chaotic natural spells. ”

"Natural spells?" Zuo Si froze slightly.

The nirvana ability is originally present in this world phoenix, so it is not worth making a fuss about being inherited.

The same should be true for the release of high-temperature flames and incineration.

The fact that devouring souls to restore their own strength must have come from the fact that a large amount of soul energy in the deep well was extracted during the creation process.

It's only natural magic, which is a little confusing.

After all, Angel Poisoncore's soul has been imprisoned in the scepter, Talona's Favor, and his body has disappeared in the flames, so there should be no remnants of his druid rank.

"You can see it at a glance."

Without saying a word, Phoenix immediately showed off the natural spells he had mastered one by one.

Most of them are related to healing and recovery, and a small number are related to plants, animals and elements.

Judging by the spell model, these are all out-and-out natural magic techniques, and some are even identical to Fei Lun's.

Obviously, if nothing else, this situation should be the effect of the small amount of divine power remaining in Angel Poison Core's body.

Anyway, this guy ended up being the god of spores, and at the same time a god of nature.

You must know that the true god has the power to bestow divine magic on believers, whether it is the divine magic of the druid or the divine magic of the priest.

And these divine techniques are contained in the residual divine power.

When the phoenix completely digests and absorbs it, it will get some similar magical abilities, which is completely reasonable.

After realizing this, Zuo Si immediately asked in a tone that was not very sure, "Can you grant divine magic to others now?" ”

"Yes. Not only was I able to grant divine magic, but I was also able to make more mortals believe in me through my inspiration. Without thinking, Phoenix replied in the affirmative.

Zuo Si nodded thoughtfully: "I see, I think I understand what's going on." By the way, did you give yourself a name? ”

"Name?" Phoenix blinked inexplicably.

"Yes, the name. You always have to give yourself a code name so that you can be called by others in your communication. This is important, especially for a god like you. Don't be in a hurry, you can think about it slowly. ”

As he spoke, Zuo Si opened the portal to leave this cold and desperate world of death, and the next second he appeared in the house he had bought and undergone a series of renovations.

Since the Christmas break at Hogwarts is over, Hermione has already taken the express train back to school.

At present, in this very large castle, only one house-elf is left in charge of daily maintenance, cleaning and care.

"Master, you're back." North bent down and bowed deeply.

"Well, I'm back. Well, nothing big happened in the wizarding world during my absence, right? Zuo Si asked casually.

North hurriedly shook his head: "No, whether it is the British wizarding community or the wizarding world of other European countries, it is very calm at the moment. It's just that the Ministry of Magic has sent a lot of letters, urging you to send the Philosopher's Stone as soon as possible. Also, Miss Granger leaves a message when you leave, so it's best to write to her as soon as you return. ”

"Humph! This group of incompetent bureaucrats is faster than the other when something happens, but they are more active when it comes to profiting for themselves. Zuo Si sarcastically said very contemptuously.

"Do you need me to write a letter of rejection for you?" North cautiously probed.

"No, no, I just happened to have a trip to the Ministry of Magic, so I'll satisfy the greed of these guys. After all, the more greedy, corrupt, and incompetent they are, the better it is for me. ”

As he spoke, Zuo Si took out the magic stone he had made with his own hands from his pocket, with a playful expression on his face.

If he guessed correctly, Umbridge must have been eager to make the final push for the position of Minister of Magic, which is why he was so urgent.

"What about Miss Granger?" North followed and asked.

This time, Zuo Si obviously hesitated, but finally waved his hand: "Not for the time being." When I'm done with the Ministry of Magic, I'll head to Hogwarts and give her a little surprise. ”

"Understood."

Realizing that his master no longer needed his services, the house-elf touched his chest with one hand and bowed deeply, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers and disappeared into place, continuing to do his unfinished work.

I don't know if it's because of the tampering with consciousness caused by making a summon creature card, he didn't look at the phoenix on his master's shoulder from beginning to end.

You must know that even the wizards of this world have not seen a phoenix, let alone won the trust of such a magical and magical creature.

Dumbledore is currently the only wizard to have a phoenix as a pet.

Theoretically, whether it is a wizard or a house-elf, after seeing the second phoenix, usually the first reaction should be surprise and disbelief.

When North was completely far away, Zuo Si couldn't help but ask, "You manipulated and affected his mind and soul?" ”

"Nope. It's just a simple reduction in my sense of presence, so that the house-elf ignores me for the time being. Phoenix explained absentmindedly.

"Reducing your presence? Nice ability. It saves me a lot of trouble. ”

As he said this, Zuo Si raised his wand and directly cast a phantom shifter, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared directly at the entrance of the magic department in the center of London with the phoenix.

With a special pass issued by the previous minister, Fudge, he was barely hindered and made his way to Umbridge's office with ease.

The ambitious old woman was sitting at her desk at the moment, admiring the list in her hand with confidence.

All the names that appear on this list have already implicitly indicated that they will support and vote for Umbridge in the ministerial selection in a few days' time.

If nothing else, the so-called campaign vote is a mere formality in the end.

The only thing that made her feel a little worried was that she promised to bring back the Philosopher's Stone and keep the salary and benefits she had given to all employees of the Ministry of Magic unchanged, but Zuo Si, who was in the background, lost contact with her for some reason.

With the current financial reserves, if you can't get back the Philosopher's Stone in time, you can pay another three months' salary at most, and then the British Ministry of Magic will have to declare bankruptcy.

It is probably because they know how bad the finances are, so the political strongmen who can really threaten Umbridge do not compete.

Just as the old woman picked up the pen and paper and was about to write another letter to urge, she suddenly heard a familiar voice from the door: "Long time no see." You look good. ”

"Suo...... Lord South? ”

Umbridge raised his head suddenly, a flattering smile instantly appeared on his wrinkled face, and he stood up with great speed to meet him, and asked with great enthusiasm, "Where have you been all this time?" Why don't you write me back? ”

"I'm sorry, but I had some inspiration at Christmas, so I locked myself in the basement and made a series of attempts, but I didn't expect it to be a new year when I came back to my senses. Here, this is the Philosopher's Stone I promised, and you can now take it to the position of Minister of Magic. ”

Zuo Si simply took out the philosopher's stone and stuffed it into the other party's palm.

Moment!

Umbridge's breathing became rapid, and she shivered with excitement as she stared at the small stone.

After a full minute, she took a deep breath to force herself to calm down, and said in a slightly excited tone, "Thank you very much for your generosity and kindness. I swear that as long as I'm the Minister of Magic, all your requests will be met. ”

"It just so happens that I have a little thing that I need your help with right now." Zuo Si unceremoniously made a direct request.

"Oh? What is it? Umbridge's eyes flashed with curiosity.

"I'd like to meet Professor Crocker, who has studied the magic of time all his life, and talk to him alone."

Zuo Si didn't hide anything, and Dafang showed the true purpose of his trip.

He had already received some help from Midnight, the goddess of magic, and planned to use this opportunity to retrieve the lost seal scroll.

"No problem! I'll arrange it right away. Umbridge agreed without even thinking about it.

She had known that Zuo Si had a great interest in time magic, so she was not surprised by such a request.

What's more, with the collapse and disintegration of the Time Hall of the Department of Mysteries, the British Ministry of Magic's research on time magic has almost completely come to a standstill.

Rather than having Professor Crocker not work for his white-collar salary, it is better to use waste.

As long as the "uncle" in front of you is served, with the power of the second magic stone to bring people back from the dead, it is not as much as you want.

In this way, under Umbridge's arrangement, Zuo Si soon got his wish and met Professor Crocker, who had been studying the magic of time all his life.

"You talk, I have other things to do, so I'll miss it first."

After completing the matchmaking mission, Umbridge immediately turned and left.

At this moment, her mind was full of the wonderful vision of herself becoming the Minister of Magic, and she didn't care about this kind of exchange involving magic and academics.

Seeing this old woman who had been corrupted by power and ambition completely walk away, Zuo Si took the initiative to stretch out his right hand and greeted, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Professor Crocker. ”

"I'm also glad to meet you, the most talented rising star in the wizarding world today." Professor Crocker followed suit with a smile and held out his right hand.

As a member of the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, he knew very well that the wizard in front of him was actually the biggest financier of the Ministry of Magic, so he was very polite in both his attitude and tone.

What's more, Zuo Si still defeated the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters head-on with a crushing attitude in full view of everyone.

Wealth!

Fame!

Great strength!

and the brilliance and creativity that amazes all wizards throughout the wizarding world!

Coupled with the good relationship with the senior bureaucrats of the Ministry of Magic and even the minister himself, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zuo Si will inevitably be the wizard at the top of the pyramid in the future.

Therefore, Professor Crocker, who is proficient in human affairs, does not dare to slack off at all.

After greeting each other, Zuo Si immediately asked straight to the point: "Professor, I heard that you are an expert in time magic, so I would like to ask you a few questions. ”

"You're also working on time magic?"

At the mention of his field of expertise, Professor Crocker immediately came to his senses.

"Hmm. I'll tell you the truth, I've mastered the Time Reversal Spell, but I've never tried it yet. Zuo Si gave a straightforward affirmative reply.

Despite the Ministry of Magic's strict ban on wizards working on these extremely dangerous spells, he had managed to obtain special permission from the previous Minister of Magic, Fudge Sr.

Of course, as with so many other "special permits", it was the result of Umbridge's covert operation.

Zuo Si seriously suspected that Fudge didn't even look at what the content was when he signed it, and directly wrote down his name with a large stroke of the pen.

Otherwise, unless he was kicked in the head by a donkey, or squeezed by the door, he would never agree to some of the above terms.

"The Time Reversal Spell is a very dangerous spell, if not the most dangerous. I advise you to be careful when using it, otherwise it will bring very terrible disasters. Professor Crocker issued a warning in a serious tone.

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and responded, "Don't worry, I know how terrible this spell is, so I definitely won't try it easily." I'm actually more interested in the temporal paradox than the spell itself. ”

"The paradox of time? What is that? Professor Crocker blinked blankly.

"It's a Muggle hypothesis. That is, there are contradictory paradoxes in logical deductions caused by time travel or runaway shuttles. For example, if a wizard accidentally kills his former self before traveling back in time, then according to the timeline theory, that person will also disappear. But the question is, since the person disappeared ten years later, how could he travel through the past and kill himself ten years ago? ”

In a concise way, Zuo Si roughly introduced what the time paradox is all about.

It's not that hard to understand.

It took Professor Crocker less than a minute to understand the meaning of the time paradox, and immediately smiled and exclaimed, "It's really hard for these Muggles to think of so much when they don't know magic at all.

But what I'm trying to correct is that the paradox of time that you call doesn't actually exist.

Because according to the results of the Ministry of Magic's research, what has already happened cannot be changed.

No matter how many times you traverse the timeline and interfere with it, the end result will only end in failure.

In the example just given, if that wizard really went back ten years, it would be impossible for him to kill himself.

Whenever he wanted to do it, he would fail due to various unexpected factors.

After all, it is already an established fact that he survived until ten years later, so it cannot be changed. ”

"What do you mean...... Is there some kind of force in the Protector timeline? What happened to the fact that the witch traveled through time before and caused many people to disappear out of thin air? Zuo Si asked relentlessly.

"All I can say was a very serious accident."

Professor Crocker's tone betrayed deep fear and despair......
