“Hoo—”
The free Magic Power in the atmosphere was still surging into the Wind Blade, as if a hundred meters was far from its limit.
Lin Yu snapped back to his senses, quickly closed his mouth to interrupt the Incantation, and simultaneously reached out toward the terrifying Wind Blade ahead.
In an instant, the hundred-meter-long Wind Blade collapsed downward, transforming into a torrent of Magic Power that frantically poured into Lin Yu’s body.
Only after all the Magic Power constituting the Wind Blade was absorbed did Lin Yu finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“It’s already been downgraded, how can it still be this exaggerated…”
“Look on the bright side, at least you can cast Magic now.”
Vlamay removed the Barrier and said with a smile, “Next, as long as you find a way to suppress your Magic Power affinity, you can use Magic like ordinary mages.”
“That’s true!” Lin Yu felt invigorated again.
Just as he was about to ask for more instruction on other Magic, he suddenly noticed that Vlamay’s gaze seemed overly eager.
After a moment of thought, Lin Yu understood what Vlamay meant, so he smiled and shook his head: “I know what you’re thinking, no chance!”
“My ability to enter this world was the result of a compromise with the world itself. As the price for successfully entering here, I cannot leave this forest, much less kill the Demon King for you.”
The eagerness in Vlamay’s eyes receded slightly, replaced by disappointment.
So that’s how it was. No wonder Lin Yu never left this place. She had thought Lin Yu stayed because he was worried that his immense power would bring terrifying natural disasters to the outside world with every move he made…
Lin Yu chuckled, “Of course, if you could lure the Demon King here, I wouldn’t mind taking care of him for you.”
Vlamay’s eyes lit up at first, but she quickly sighed, “To be honest, I’d love to do that, but unfortunately, this forest is located on the Border line east of the Unified Empire’s center. Luring the Demon King here would mean abandoning all the Living Beings in the entire North.”
Lin Yu shrugged, “Then there’s nothing to be done~”
Vlamay shook her head and smiled gently, “It’s alright. At least now I know that even someone as powerful as the Demon King cannot cross this forest. That’s good news too, isn’t it?”
……
……
Four months later, the secluded Two-story wooden building in the forest had transformed into a Stone Fortress covering an area of over a thousand square meters.
The Giant Pit, over a hundred meters in diameter, in front of the Stone Fortress was now filled with clear water, becoming a Lake.
On the shore of the Lake, a Horned Beast, over thirty-five meters long and covered entirely in Earth Yellow Scales, lay resting, enjoying the pleasure of the surrounding Magic Power surging into its body.
On top of the Horned Beast’s head, a Young Man in a Black Robe sat cross-legged on the smooth, warm Scales, holding the Holy Scripture in his right hand, constantly communicating with the free Magic Power in the air.
As the surrounding Magic Power particles joyfully poured in, lines of text gradually appeared on the blank pages of the Holy Scripture.
Unlike the Magic Rune-like characters of this world, these characters were square, complete in their four corners, steady and dignified—they were the simplified Chinese Characters that Lin Yu had brought from another world.
Ever since discovering that the manifestation of Magic in Lin Yu was overly exaggerated, Vlamay had shifted her teaching approach, abandoning practice in favor of theory, starting by making Lin Yu understand the principles of Magic composition first.
Thanks to Vlamay, Lin Yu was exposed to the most profound and essential Knowledge of Magic from the very beginning.
This unique teaching method made his initial learning somewhat difficult.
But fortunately, after passing through this period, Lin Yu’s mastery of Magic began to advance by leaps and bounds.
To this day, he not only learned how to restrain Spiritual Power and Magic Power but also relied on the Magic Knowledge stored in his mind to reverse-engineer his own Holy Scripture Magic using the Holy Scripture Runes as a medium.
Soon after, Lin Yu opened his eyes and smiled as he looked at the Holy Scripture filled with Chinese Characters before him.
“Another page inscribed!”
With this, his Holy Scripture now had thirteen pages, bringing him one step closer to the grand goal of filling the entire Holy Scripture!
“Is there new Magic?”
A slightly curious voice came from below.
Lin Yu turned his head to look and saw a figure leap up from below, coming right next to him and looking over with great interest.
“Let me see. Hmm, it’s about anecdotes from Zhuangzi and Liezi. What about the Incantation and the effect?”
“Liezi Riding the Wind, Shedding the Cicada Shell Without a Trace, borrowing shadows from the void, using the Six Qi as a boat. The effect is to disperse the body into hundreds of Wind Blades. Besides causing a large-area Wind Blade attack, the main body can also move at high speed between each Wind Blade, shifting position, which is considered borrowing from the theories of shedding the cicada shell and Zhuangzi’s dispersion into Qi.”
“Amazing!”
Vlamay let out a sincere exclamation.
Lin Yu smiled and shook his head, “The amazing thing isn't me, it’s the Goddess who gave me the Holy Scripture.”
“These Holy Scripture Magics are nominally created by me, but in reality, I just moved stories from my Previous life over and roughly outlined the direction of the Magic. I’m actually not sure what specific Magic can be compiled.”
“See, take this Magic for example. All the other effects are my contribution, but this elemental transformation Magic that disperses into Wind Blades is an unknown Magic whose principles even I, the creator, cannot figure out.”
Vlamay said, “That must be the power inherent in the Holy Scripture itself.”
Lin Yu nodded, while inwardly complaining.
The Holy Scripture is indeed convenient for creating Magic, but this setting where the Magic must be hidden within stories is too unnecessary.
If he hadn't remembered the Mythology stories from various countries in his Previous life, it would have taken at least ten times the current effort to inscribe a single page.
“This Destruction Holy Scripture now has thirteen pages, barely qualifying as a semi-finished product.”
Vlamay said with a smile, “How about it? Shall I help you spread the faith?”
Lin Yu rolled his eyes, “What Destruction Holy Scripture? I don’t recall naming it that.”
Vlamay said nothing, flipping directly to the first few pages of the Holy Scripture.
“The 【Gonggong Hitting the Pillar】 that can tear the earth and shake the Mountains, the 【Drought Demon’s Descent】 that can raise the air temperature over a wide area, scorching the earth for a Thousand Miles, and the 【Nine Heavens Gale】 that can summon dozens of hundred-meter Hurricanes, easily destroying a small country…”
“Look for yourself at these Magics. A Holy Scripture that records such Magics, what else could it be but the Destruction Holy Scripture?”
Lin Yu coughed twice and explained, “It’s not my fault, if anyone’s to blame, it’s this Holy Scripture. I’m just a Mythology mover; all these large-scale Magics were generated by it on its own.”
Besides, Destruction Holy Scripture was too harsh a name!
Even if a name had to be chosen, shouldn't it at least be Demon God Holy Scripture?
Yes, the Demon God of the Dimensional Demon God!
Lin Yu thought this in his heart, but on his face, he smiled and said, “As for spreading the faith, there’s no need. I don’t require Faith, and this Holy Scripture isn't written in the Common Continental Language either. The entire world probably only has you who can understand it…”
“That is true.”
Vlamay smiled and nodded outwardly, but there was little smile in her eyes.
Having stayed here for four months, she had finally decided to formally leave this forest.
The only problem was how she should convey this news to Lin Yu…
While Vlamay was hesitating in her mind, Lin Yu glanced at her, suddenly tossed the Holy Scripture in his hand over, then stretched lazily on his own, smiling slyly, “Before I officially leave, I have one last favor to ask of you.”
“Go find me another Holy Scripture, and you can keep this one for self-defense!”
Vlamay subconsciously caught the Holy Scripture, looking at Lin Yu with some surprise.
Lin Yu said regretfully, “It’s a pity there wasn't enough time, otherwise there could have been a few more pages.”
Vlamay lowered her head, looking at the Holy Scripture in her hands, and asked:
“…When did you realize?”
“From when you started going out frequently last month.”
Looking at the silent Vlamay, Lin Yu smiled slightly, “Don’t worry, I anticipated this day long ago!”
“Humans have limited Lifespan. You have a grand ideal of changing the world; you cannot stay in this forest forever.”
“Although I really want to forcibly keep you here, that would mean losing a hard-won friend…”
Vlamay gently stroked the Relief on the cover, then suddenly her lips curved upwards, and she looked up at him with spirit, “As expected, I couldn’t hide it from you.”
“Of course!”
Lin Yu said with a smile, “How long do you think we’ve been together?”
Hearing this, Vlamay was stunned again, then chuckled lightly, “Lin, as beings of immortality, you are completely different from my stubborn and awkward Teacher, the elf!”
