PS: The last few chapters are about some settings of the background of this book, not only involving this volume, but also some core settings, which really can't be deleted. In fact, writing the setting is very troublesome, and some readers don't like to read it, which is a thankless job. But it can't be helped, if you don't write and set this world, it's nothing, isn't it?

Lance nodded slightly, he had a strong curiosity about the powerful wizarding shrine of Gu Wanlun, so even if there was an incomparably precious Gate of Mystery in front of him, he wanted to spend a little more time and learn about that mysterious world through the murals on the wall.

The colors of the murals are very bright and vivid, and in some places there is also a use of phonographic witchcraft, and the characters and scenery on it will change, so it feels a little like watching a movie.

Lance stood in the middle of the hallway, his eyes fixed on the first mural on his left.

It is a picture of a scene depicting a gray sky and a group of people dressed in rudimentary clothes, armed with weapons and armor, seemingly hunting. Judging by their clothing and behavior, these seem to be some mortals, and they are also human beings in the early days of the development of material civilization.

These humans walked deep in the mountains, and at dawn they strayed into a magical place.

In this place, they found one hundred and nine magical trees with green leaves and only two people tall. These trees are full of flowers of different colors, but each tree has only one fruit. The color of the fruit varies, some are bright red, some are pure white, and even the shape is different, some are round, some are actually triangular pyramidal.

Naturally, there is nothing unusual about these colorful fruits. But in Lance's eyes, he vaguely saw some unusual tastes.

Because those shapes, and colors, were very similar to the most basic units of some of the runes he had mastered!

"Is it a coincidence?"

With these doubts in mind, Lance continued to look.

Step by step, Lance gained more and more information. The two sides of the corridor have also changed from simple murals to graphic and even animated information transmission methods.

Among these first human beings, there were also some who were curious and bold. With their cooperation, they managed to pick some fruit and swallow it into their stomachs.

From then on, these mortals were no longer confused.

In this world. There is also an additional human called [Wizard]. Unlike mortals, they have a powerful power in their hands, and they can call the wind and rain and move freely through the universe. They are the most powerful creatures in this plane. Because of their wisdom. Unparalleled.

"The fruit of this fruit tree. It can actually make mortals open their wisdom and become wizards!"

Seeing this scene, Lance's heart was shocked. Vaguely, he realized that he had touched on part of the story of the wizard's origins.

As one of the heyday representatives of wizarding civilization, Gu Wanlun's research on the origin of wizards must be much deeper than that of Ferendor and the Blue Mountains.

The text underneath the mural is written in lingua franca and can be easily read by Lance. By reading these words, the thoughts in his mind were further strengthened.

This fruit tree opened the mind of the original human being, like a key, opened a door in the human brain.

Not only that, but each fruit of different colors carries an incomparably huge amount of knowledge, which is the crystallization of the rules of the plane.

"This is the tree of wisdom, and those are the fruits of wisdom. Aoife seemed to remember something, and sighed: "Wizarding civilization is based on the interpretation of the rules of the plane, in this plane, human beings are not born with the spirit of all things, but they are just lucky enough. ”

"The plane is conscious, and although these consciousnesses are ignorant, they absolutely exist. These wisdom trees are the derivation of the consciousness of the Krieland plane, and the creatures of this plane can obtain the hidden wisdom in the fruits by eating these fruits. ”

"And wisdom can not only change a person's life, but even change the world!"

Under Aophe's explanation, Lance watched step by step.

After taking the Fruit of Wisdom, the early humans mastered all kinds of witchcraft knowledge, and some of them had the talent to construct some crude spell runes. With these spell runes, they can use some incredibly powerful spells. With the presence of wizards, early humans gradually gained the absolute upper hand in battles with other creatures.

By this period, the style of the murals had changed from dark and chaotic to much brighter and more cheerful.

Lance could see that at that time, wizards and mortals were mixed together. There is not much selfishness towards each other. They fenced off the woods and turned them into their own forbidden places, not allowing creatures of other races to enter. And every fruit on the fruit tree becomes incomparably precious.

The first group of wizards reached an agreement on the distribution of the fruits, and in this land, the power of the human race became stronger and stronger.

Over the course of many more years, with the help of the wizards, the number of mortals who lost their enemies grew extremely rapidly. At this time, the human demand for wisdom fruit trees has become infinite, but there are only so many fruits that it has become insufficient to distribute.

Mortals who have not become wizards strongly want to devour the fruit of wisdom and become wizards, but people who have become wizards naturally do not give up their interests easily. With powerful spells, they joined forces to take possession of these fruits of wisdom. Every time the fruit is distributed, only a few clever mortals can obtain the fruit, but after these mortals become wizards, they immediately join the wizard camp, and more mortals are gradually dominated by a small number of wizards.

The class divisions within humanity are beginning to become apparent. In the land depicted in the mural, the wizards are the masters, and the common people are gradually reduced to slavery.

As a result, under this unequal oppression, there was a disagreement between the two major groups of mortals and wizards, who had been in harmony, and some mortals who had mastered martial arts began to challenge the authority of wizards. And in the early days. The spells that the wizards naturally comprehended with the fruit of wisdom were not as perfect and powerful as they are now, and they could not take much advantage in front of the large number of knights and warriors.

And then there was the war.

There were no winners in this civil war, the wizards were badly damaged, and the mortals were killed and wounded. Eventually, the wizards unleashed a powerful spell, and they broke away from the human caste and left the land with the one hundred and nine trees of wisdom. They used spells to lift the land into the clouds. Be the master on high.

Wizards and mortals. Finally separated.

Without the protection of the sorcerer, mortals gradually became unsustainable. Under the interference of powerful monsters and other races around the territory, the development of human beings has become sluggish. And without mortals as a source of fresh blood, the life of wizards has become difficult. More and more aging wizards began to die. The more powerful they became. But the number is decreasing.

And at this very time. Mortals have also been attacked by other races, and the scope of their power has shrunk dramatically. But they are still gritting their teeth and persevering.

One day, a group of foreign visitors appeared in this land that was already full of gunsmoke. They have a penchant for killing. It has horns on its head, and it is powerful and numerous. They come from the lower middle plane of the Endless Abyss, and people call them Demons.

Under the slaughter of this demonic race called [Baal], the number of humans has plummeted, and only the original tenth is left.

At this moment on the verge of extinction, some people in the human race began to turn to the wizards above the clouds for help. They have lost all their means, and it turns out that without a powerful spellcaster, they simply cannot defeat creatures from foreign lands.

The wizards agreed. For the first time after that war, the two sides reached an agreement. The sorcerers promised to share the fruits of wisdom with mortals while walking down the clouds to help humans fight demons. And humans no longer hate wizards so much, and the relationship between the two sides has become much more harmonious.

And then there was the long battle. This time the battle was much harder than the civil war between humans, and the early Kreeland plane, due to the fact that it had just been born, the plane consciousness was not yet very perfect, and the plane power was insufficient, so it was in a low position in the super bubble universe, very close to the bottomless abyss.

As a result, the demons are almost influential. These chaotic moths are ready to use this dimensional meal as yet another colony in their conquest of the Endless Universe.

But with the help of powerful wizards, humanity withstood wave after wave of demonic attacks.

As time passed, the human population shrank dramatically, to only one percent of its heyday, and the demons were in abundance. The defeat of humanity seems to be only a matter of time.

However, at this time, a mortal who had been rewarded for his bravery in battle took a purple fruit of wisdom, and he learned something wonderful and terrifying. He became the key to turning the tide of battle, as he was helped by the will of the Creeland plane and mastered the power of the three factors of [Lightning], [Force Field], and [Magnetic Field].

The combination of these three factors gave birth to the two most terrifying systems of sorcery in the universe - Time and Space.

Thus, the first legendary wizard in the history of mankind was born. And he is also a super strong person who has mastered the laws of time and space.

The wizards were captivated by his knowledge, and the mortals were amazed by his strength. In several battles with demons, he has shown great strength, and has repeatedly turned the tide of the battle by himself, defeating the murderous demons to the ground, crying for his father and mother.

This person is the first wizard king in human history and the founder of Gu Wanlun.

His name is Rodriguez. It is very coincidental that it has the same name as Gu Wanlun's last wizard king.

The appearance of the first wizard king meant that the entire battle situation changed completely. He led humans and wizards in heroic battles, expelling and exterminating most of the demons, while using his powerful magical knowledge to seal the Abyssal Gate.

At the same time, because the Creeland plane is also growing rapidly, the small bubbles are getting bigger and bigger, and their status in the multiverse has also been improved. It moved closer to the upper plane, gradually moving away from the bottomless abyss of the lower layer. The demons failed.

Then came the endless celebrations.

Gu Wanlun was founded, and the Wizard King ascended the throne. Once again, humanity has become the master of the land. Such a scene occurred in several places on the plane at the same time. Gu Wanlun is just one of them. In the entire Creeland plane, a total of twelve places have given birth to the Wisdom Tree, and these twelve places have given rise to powerful wizard civilizations.

These twelve places are called the "Wizard's Holy Land" by the wizards, and on the mural, Lance discovers that the witch's gathering place [Takaren] is also among the twelve holy places. Although the witches are not ordinary spellcasters, they still have a good amount of power by devouring the fruit of the Wisdom Tree, and they have also been recognized by the will of the plane.

These twelve holy places, through communication with the will of the plane. Twelve Plane Guardians were chosen. The first Guardian of the Plane was Rodriguez, of course, and the first Guardian of the Plane of Takaron was a woman in a mysterious veil, mentioned in the note below the mural, the first Witch of the Night and the leader of the witches.

"In the early days. Dimensional wills tend to be very active. It's like a newborn baby. Very curious to communicate with all living beings in the outside world. Aoife said in a low voice, "In the development of the plane, this period is also the period when it is growing the fastest. ”

Lance nodded slightly, this information was very precious. It didn't seem to have much practical effect, but it still got his attention.

Needless to say, the fox had recorded all the information he had seen.

After the establishment of Gu Wanlun, wizards and mortals chose a state of half-separation and half-connection. The Wizard King created a half-plane outside of his own plane and moved Gu Wanlun over. Mortals, on the other hand, continued to multiply in Kreeland itself.

With the support of the Wisdom Tree, Wanlun became more and more prosperous. There are small details recorded on the frescoes that can reflect this.

For example, a master of linguistics, after devouring a white fruit, greatly opened up his wisdom. He improved and compressed the lingua franca that was originally used to cast spells, creating a new magical language, which is the [Gulen language] that Lance and the others now use. The Gulen language is far less streamlined than the lingua franca, and the wizards' spell casting speed has increased as a result, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced.

At the same time, it was gradually discovered that even a few humans who had not devoured the fruit of wisdom could learn the spells of the wizards.

Under the impetus of the first wizard king, witchcraft became more and more systematic, and more and more subjects were subdivided. People discovered the difference between spiritual power and magic power, and devised the way to make magic pools, the cultivation of witchcraft seeds, and so on.

As time passes, individual human beings may perish, but as a whole, they are becoming stronger and stronger in this world.

It wasn't until fifteen hundred years ago that the last wizard king of Gu Wanlun, that is, another Rodriguez with the same name as the first wizard king, succeeded to the throne, and Wanlun's witchcraft civilization finally came to its peak!

At that time, there was widespread optimism that the new Wizard King had the same name as the original Wizard King, which was a good sign.

They believe that Wanlun will continue to develop at a high speed, and more wizards will step into the realm of legends and even demigods.

......

But the truth is cruel, and although he has not yet seen the end, a faint sadness has surged into Lance's heart.

After a thousand years, instead of continuing to develop, he knew that the sorcery civilization had fallen into a low ebb!

Although Ferendor's witchcraft has been developing well this year, it has encountered a major event such as the invasion of the Hades. At least in this area, I don't know how many years it will take for Lu Dao to catch up with the level of the peak Wanlun.

As soon as he thought of this, his heart became a little heavy.

However, Lance is not a native native after all, his soul comes from another world, and his sense of identity with this world is not as strong as that of the natives, so after feeling for a while, his heart is relieved.

No matter in which world it is, the rise and weakening of a civilization, the establishment and demise of a country, cannot be stopped by manpower, and this seems to be an irresistible law in the universe: everything in the world is in motion, and once the movement reaches its peak, it will quickly weaken and even disappear.

These are all truths.

In the vast universe, whether it is an individual or a civilization, it is almost wishful thinking to want to live forever. From the perspective of a bystander, you can comprehend knowledge, obtain information, and learn lessons, but it is really unnecessary to bring in too many words that are too sad.

Thinking like this, his mood brightened up slightly.

He took a deep breath, the gloom on his face vanished, and he regained a calm countenance.

Who knew that at this time, a beautiful voice suddenly sounded next to his ear:

"Yes, yes, strong enough mind, and still very young. ”

"Congratulations on passing the test of the Upanishads, young wizard, and you will reap a precious gift. ”

Lance was stunned and looked around, but could not find the source of the sound.

"The test of the Upanishads?" Lance didn't understand what the other man was saying.

"That's right. If you can get rid of your sadness, it means that you have passed the test. The voice continued, "You may not realize that the place where you are standing now is the [Gate of the Upanishads] of Wanlun. ”

What the?

This corridor is the Gate of the Upanishads?

Lance was stunned, and began to angrily reprimand the magic sword Aoye who deceived him: "You actually lied to me? You don't know what the Gate of Mystery is, right?"

Aoife also became extremely embarrassed, his original purpose was to instigate Lance to help him take the body of the golden sword Carter, so he made up some nonsense. Who knew that this corridor was the Gate of the Upanishads, and the Gate of the Upanishads also had a sound prompt, which was really embarrassing.

At the moment, he knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't dare to speak much, but just responded with a smile.

"Young wizard, you have passed the test, will you receive this gift immediately, and if so, please come with me at once. The voice kindly said, "Believe me, this will be the most precious treasure you will have in life." ”

Lance hesitated for a moment, then asked, "This gentleman, can you let me finish reading these murals before leaving?" (To be continued......
