The Era of Gods-Chapter 625 - : Promotion to Dawn Wizard
Chapter 625: Chapter 625: Promotion to Dawn Wizard
There were supernatural powers on the island, but none were strong; the mightiest he detected with his powerful spiritual power was no more than a human equivalent to a First Level crystallized wizard. Lin Xiao quietly blended into the island life, buying a small street-front shop in a remote town and opening a little bookstore. And thus, he settled down.
Since he had left his original world, he was temporarily safe.
Unless the True Dark Progenitor personally descended, no one could find the correct path through the hundreds of spatial fissures in the center of the ancient battlefield.
He guessed the True Dark Progenitor wouldn’t personally come; how could such a minuscule being like him trouble a Progenitor to come personally? What he had triggered was merely a glance from the True Dark Progenitor, not a direct confrontation – it was impossible for the True Dark Progenitor to discover his secret.
The reason for his panicked escape was just to be cautious.
This world, being of a lower energy level compared to the last, was a good place for Lin Xiao, at least it was safe.
...
Disguising himself as a bookstore owner on the island, he spent his time reading, simultaneously learning about this world through its books and slowly digesting the excessive spiritual power that had surged before.
The residual spiritual power left over from the refining of a hundred thousand souls was more than enough for his ascension to a Level 3 wizard. These days, he had been slowly assimilating that excess spiritual power, and using it to stimulate his physique and capture energy particles from the void, converting them into mana in preparation for his promotion to Level 3 wizard.
At the same time, he was also slowly consuming those souls he had refined, separating the soul power from his spiritual power.
With the full integration of the spiritual power from those two hundred thousand souls, he predicted that his spiritual power would most certainly reach the necessary condition for ascending to a Level 4 Dawn Wizard.
Once he became a Level 4 Dawn Wizard, he would truly have the foundation to stand firm in this world.
According to the top-secret records from the Fifth War Zone, a Level 4 Dawn Wizard is equivalent to the Demigod Stage. Although there is no Divinity, the essence is the same; this stage is very crucial for Descenders because during the promotion to Dawn Wizard, they would condense their true name and thereby gain the recognition of the Wizard World.
To put it simply, becoming a Level 4 Dawn Wizard is like registering one’s name with the collective consciousness of the Wizard World.
This step, for the natives of the Wizard World, serves only as the key to unlock access privileges, but for Descenders, it is of vital importance.
Put more colloquially, the children of the Divine Realm who descended into the Wizard World start with negative reputation, which begins cold and may even include enmity.
Ascending to a Dawn Wizard elevates the reputation to neutral.
This still isn’t very useful, but one can start to improve one’s reputation and change one’s predicament through various means.
The role of reputation is known to ordinary people; it’s like playing a game where a higher reputation not only improves the attitudes of NPCs but also grants access to many great things previously out of reach.
For Descenders, this is incredibly important because as their reputation increases, the Wizard World will lift its suppression, allowing them to gradually regain their True Body’s original strength, until their reputation reaches a certain level, fully restoring all the powers of their True Body.
Those who can raise their reputation to lift all restrictions typically possess great strength, often at the Fifth or Sixth Level or even stronger. Then, combining the strength of their True Body with the powers gained in this world will naturally take them a step further, easily making them top-tier powerhouses of this world.
The power of Lin Xiao’s True Body in this world can probably reach the Seventh Level, and if the wizard system here is strong as well, combining the two may even step into the Eighth Level.
And an Eighth Level wizard in other worlds is equivalent to possessing Powerful Divine Power and above.
Yet what attracted him more was this world’s method of refining the True Body; if he had the chance to transform the Body of Titan Ancient God once or even twice into a Secondary True Body or even a Tertiary True Body, the thought alone was electrifying.
His Body of Titan Ancient God, already amongst the pinnacle of True Bodies, could become the very top of the Eighth Level upon transformation into a Secondary True Body, equivalent to Super Divine Power at God Level 19, just one step shy of the Progenitors.
Though this step is even greater than the gap from First to Eighth Level combined.
Even if he could not continue to advance his wizard levels, relying on this alone would make him a top contender in the Main World.
Thus, risk and opportunity have always coexisted; the True Body braved such vast risks being suppressed in its full strength upon descending into the Wizard World, naturally for the promise of sufficient benefits.

The daily life of the mortals in this Different Domain was very simple. Lin Xiao would sleep until he woke naturally before opening the shop for business and could sit inside with a book for the entire morning.
The business of the bookstore was average at best, because the books he sold were mostly common literature, novels like tales of strange adventures. Such books usually only interested the wealthy families who had the leisure to read them; common folks were too busy striving for their daily bread to indulge in such luxuries.
He didn’t mind, as the business was merely a facade.
Time passed day by day, with sunrises and sunsets, one year following another.
The bookstore had seamlessly integrated into the lives of the island’s residents, who all knew that there was a bookstore nearby, and would come here for anything related to books. Occasionally, some kids would run in to gaze at various travelogues and novels, imagining themselves as knights roaming the world.
This was the fantasy of children, and adults were well aware that it was impossible.
This world was an Ocean world, with the vast majority being Ocean, and only some islands harboring Humans and Other Races.
In this world, Other Races were the majority, with Humans merely being one of the numerically substantial minorities.
Over the course of more than a decade, Lin Xiao had gradually come to understand the specific composition of this world.
The main body of this world was an endless Ocean, dominated by a Great Empire that covered the whole world called the Sea King Empire, as well as eighteen powerful rulers known as the Sea Kings. This island called Weila was the territory of the Sea King.
The Sea King Empire was extremely vast and powerful, with each of the eighteen Sea Kings possessing earth-shaking Strength, at least that’s what the information he understood showed. Considering that those evaluating them were of average strength themselves, this so-called earth-shaking should be taken with a grain of salt. However, it could be confirmed that even with that discount, they wouldn’t be weak, and they were probably at least Level 4 or Level 5.
The colossal Sea King Empire had ruled the entire world for tens of thousands of years; this world held almost no secrets from this massive Empire. So, now their primary goal was to expedition into Alien Worlds to Plunder resources.
For Lin Xiao, this was good news; it meant he might eventually leave this world and travel to other worlds through the channels of the Sea King Empire.
After more than a decade, his spiritual power and Mana had already crossed Level 3, and he had been promoted to a Level 3 Wizard.
Now, having integrated the spiritual remnants of two hundred thousand Souls, he had reached the limits of Level 3, and was a mere step away from ascending to a Fourth Level Dawn Wizard. Moreover, he was almost ready, and could ascend again at any time.
He sighed softly, stood up, and looked back at the bookstore he had opened for more than a decade. Having stayed for so long, it was finally time to leave, and he felt quite reluctant to depart.
Only a few people were in the bookstore, among them a young man and woman who weren’t seriously reading. Instead, they were hiding on the second floor, secretly meeting, and his powerful perception could even see the two exposed….
“Youth is really wonderful!”
He sighed a few times, then turned around, vanishing like a bubble.
When he reappeared, he had already left the island. This ascension to a Fourth Level Wizard was critical, as it would undoubtedly produce an earth-shaking commotion; staying on the small island was not appropriate.
After sitting quietly for several days, restoring his condition to its peak, Lin Xiao didn’t start his ascension but first extracted the Soul Power accumulated in the Creation Magic Cube and integrated it into his own Soul.
This thing didn’t need to be kept any longer; now was the time to Refine it.
This was the purest form of Soul Power. After refining through the Creation Magic Cube, its purity was estimated to be even purer and more pristine than that of the lords of the other realm, and could be directly integrated into his own Soul to strengthen it directly.
The so-called Soul Apostle was actually about devouring Souls to strengthen one’s own Soul and then using the Soul to replace spiritual power. While having the powerful casting abilities of a normal Wizard, they also possessed powerful abilities to control Souls.
Ordinary Extraordinary Professions could not control Souls. Until they reached a certain level of strength, their own Souls could only be passively enhanced during profession advancement and couldn’t compare to the actively Soul-devouring and powerful Soul Apostles. Facing attacks from the level of the Soul, most Extraordinary beings had no resistance. This was one of the main reasons why Soul Apostles were so powerful.
What was it like to devour two hundred thousand Souls in one go?
Lin Xiao felt his Soul strength surge by a thousandfold in an instant, feeling almost overstuffed.
His powerful Soul passively boosted his spiritual power and consciousness, and in turn, boosted Mana. Even without doing anything, he started ascending naturally.
To be precise, his Soul was too powerful and had broken through a certain limit, starting a transformation. A nascent Light of Dawn was beginning to nurture within his Soul, and the moment this light was ignited, he would become a Dawn Wizard.
Dawn Wizard is the orthodox term for Wizards. Other worlds with different systems have different names, but the essence is the same.
Igniting the Light of Dawn also signified the awakening of one’s true name. Such a being would come under the watch of the great will of the Wizard World.
For Descenders, it meant that they had integrated into the Wizard World, thereby relaxing the suppression and gradually recovering their former strength.
At this moment, Lin Xiao was experiencing this feeling. As his Soul, spirit, Mana, and body were all undergoing a comprehensive transformation, he was faintly aware of that ubiquitous and vast will. He could also sense the strength within his True Spirit, which reflected the relaxation of his self-imposed restraints. Normally, even if one could sense the existence of their True Spirit, they couldn’t feel the strength of their True Body, which was thoroughly suppressed.
At this moment, Lin Xiao’s will communicated with the Creation Magic Cube, and released all the remaining Titan Ancient God Bloodline.
In this instant, at this special time, was the most lenient moment by the will of the Wizard World towards foreign Descenders.
