I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1048 - 551: Mid-Tier Zone · Celestial Body World Cluster 2

This world has a unique characteristic: the movement of celestial bodies causes the rise and fall of magic tides. Magic Power ebbs and flows like tides, undergoing phases of no magic, low magic, mid-level magic, high magic, mid-level magic, low magic, no magic, in a continuous cycle.

The convergence and movement of celestial bodies lead to fluctuations in Magic Power.

Before it became a world, he hadn't gone there because at the time it was in a no magic phase, and being in a no magic environment would affect his own capabilities, possibly even leading to his downfall.

Now, even if he goes, it's just the Low Magic Era.

However, the leaves of the World Tree are not affected, as they are not ordinary items.

"The magic of this world is also quite unique; relatively speaking, it leans more towards idealism and relies on bloodline magic, more like Magicians rather than Wizards."

Gu Shanhai quickly found these bits and pieces from his memory.

"Hmm, a knockoff version of Harry Potter."

Soon, he found a similar description: the wizard's bloodline is not some so-called alien bloodline, but a magic power bloodline, akin to affinity. Those who can become Wizards have the source of Magic Power flowing within, while ordinary people without the magic power bloodline can never become Wizards in their lifetime.

"Going in the past was not much of an issue, just so many thousands of years later, foreknowledge seems to have become ineffective."

Originally, Gu Shanhai intended to enter that world at the time node from his previous life because even after tens of thousands of years in his past life, the leaves of the World Tree were still there, untouched.

Moreover, that world witnessed the rise and fall of various civilizations along with the fluctuations of Magic Power tides. If he went earlier, he might not be able to find the leaves of the World Tree in the position from his previous life. Who knows how many hands the leaves have passed through over the years, finally ending up in the corresponding position.

Thinking back to his past life, he relied on the Heavenly Mechanism Flow and archaeological abilities to excavate all sorts of chaotic artifacts in that world.

There were powerful magic-guided devices capable of destroying heaven and earth, as well as lost Divine Artifacts from Ancient Times.

Anyway, the saying "progress depends on archaeology" is not an empty claim, because some civilizations could fully withstand several cycles of magic tides before eventually perishing. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

In this process, some civilizations went extinct, while others left behind fragmented rumors, and so on.

In short, it is a natural treasure trove.

There are certainly disadvantages too, as fully excavating this treasure trove requires corresponding time.

Excavations can only be conducted during the High Magic Era, specifically at the peak of the magic tide. If excavations are conducted during the decline of magic tides, the resources extracted will suffer varying degrees of damage due to magic tide influences.

Therefore, for Gu Shanhai to go now, in the Low Magic Era, it is basically impossible to obtain any good items.

Even if he manages to find something, it's all junk.

"Forget it, keeping it for later serves no purpose. Better to cash it out now." Gu Shanhai decided not to hold onto it.

He doesn't think that with the speed he's growing stronger, he will look back on this world after tens of thousands of years. Even the leaves of the World Tree would be just like chicken ribs to him now. His Sky-reaching Jianmu has already started stretching its branches, birthing new small worlds to accommodate various civilizations.

As long as he possesses enough worlds, he is not just one world, but countless worlds.

Might as well cash out now, since keeping it for later would likely only be for trading with players.

Thinking this, he used the invitation.

...

[Mid-level Area: Celestial Body World Cluster]

[Task: None]

...

Gu Shanhai opened his eyes. At this moment, he found himself in the wilderness.

He felt nothing and couldn't sense how "The First Era" sent him to another world.

Given his enormous size, this technology left Gu Shanhai surprised.

"Transferring a world, especially one of my size, is truly an incredible technology."

Then he took another look at the task and area, narrowing his eyes: "No task, but they offer a return service, and no lifespan deduction either."

"It seems the cost is being covered by the Protective Umbrella Responsibility Limited Company, which is quite remarkable."

"However, this time it's even more direct, as it's specifically mentioned as a world cluster, named after celestial bodies."

"More importantly, I don't feel the Air Wall."

"From this, it seems that players above level ten thousand experience multi-world, cross-world, world cluster type tasks, whereas those below level ten thousand have single-world ones."

In his past life, he hadn't reached level ten thousand, so he was unaware of these matters.

Probably no players then had reached level ten thousand; they were just striving for it and completing breakthrough tasks wasn't very easy.

"Again starting in the wilderness, and this time without a task."

Gu Shanhai expanded his Spiritual Sense, sweeping across the entire world, and soon, the various conditions of this world unfolded before his eyes.

"Where are the leaves of the World Tree? Why can't I find them..." Gu Shanhai seemed a bit bewildered, why are they missing.

"Also, isn't the size of the world a bit off? It's too small; what changes have occurred over tens of thousands of years, resulting in such a massive difference."

Gu Shanhai's expression turned a bit strange. In his previous life, when he entered this world, it was vast.

Now the size of this world is even smaller than the Ghost World, less than half its size.

The magic tide of the Low Magic Era is extremely weak.

"So, at this moment, the world I'm in hasn't experienced some kind of fortuitous event to develop into the Wizard World from my past life. It's just a small world."

Gu Shanhai was somewhat amused.

As for those Divine Artifacts and Magic Devices, they haven't been born yet. The so-called treasure trove simply doesn't exist; it's really just a barren world.

"As expected, when the timing is off, things are just off."

Currently, because the magic tide just arrived and it's still the Low Magic Era, Wizards haven't yet widely spread, and the witch hunting actions have even led to a decline.

"The leaves of the World Tree might be in the magic tide, so they haven't yet reached the Wizard World."

Gu Shanhai also considered the possibility that the absence of the leaves of the World Tree in this world could be because, in his past life, the magic tide filled the entire Wizard World, and it was at the peak region.

"But there are also benefits. For the Wizard World to grow from this small world into the large world from my past life, it wasn't gained for free."

Since it wasn't free, it was earned through battles, continuous colonization, and expansion, which eventually led to its vast scale.

And this represents an opportunity; by getting involved, Gu Shanhai can gain significant profits. Occasionally taking over one or two worlds shouldn't bother anyone.

"Now, let's find the protagonist, create a great trend, and let the Wizard World enter the external expansion mode in advance."

Certainly, this is not something Gu Shanhai would handle himself; it's for the protagonist to take care of.

In fact, he wasn't sure if there's a protagonist in this stage.

After all, destiny isn't decided by him, but by the world.

"There actually is. Let me look at the script, hmm~ Founder of the Wizard Academy."

"Not bad, quite a talent, but isn't this story a little odd in some places."

Gu Shanhai quickly found the protagonist by consulting the script. The Wizard World already had prophecy-type magic, and since the current Wizard World was not yet the large world mastering the entire cluster, it couldn't resist Gu Shanhai's search methods; it couldn't even detect them.

"It's such a miserable fate, though."

"But it makes sense, when a whale falls, all things thrive. As the founder, if he's not a bit miserable, how would the later developments occur?"

"No, instead of establishing a Wizard Academy, a Wizard Dynasty would be more beneficial for external colonialism."

"He's not yet awakened to Magic Power, a perfect time to make a move."
