642 Two Country Bumpkins (1/2)

How could Zeuss not be excited?

The Mana Seed was the first step for a person to be called a mage. No one, not even eventual Heaven Mages, could skip this step!

Only those with a Mana Seed could become a mage!

At first, the Mana Seed could barely hold any mana. It would be so little that many would say that a Magic Apprentice's mana was negligible.

But once the Mana Seed expanded, it would become something familiar to all mages.

A Mana Whirlpool!

As the Mana Whirlpool expanded, it would evolve into the Magic Conducting Runes, and most things mages would fuse later on, such as Core Meditation Law Set, would be fused with Magic Conducting Runes.

No matter how powerful a mage was, in the end, everything evolved from the Mana Seed.

This was the start of everything, a very small Mana Seed that could be burnt out by the wind like a weak flame.

This was the foundation of any mage. As long as the Mana Seed, or its evolutions, the Mana Whirlpool and the Magic Conducting Rune, were still there, mages could recover.

Like earlier, when Lin Yun's mana had been forcibly extracted by that monster. After time had passed, that mana had recovered.

This was because his Magic Array hadn't been damaged. As long as the Magic Array was still there, even if he used all his mana, not leaving a single drop behind, Lin Yun would still be able to recover his mana rather quickly.

As for Zeuss, he had also lost all his mana, but his Magic Conducting Rune had collapsed and had reverted to a Mana Whirlpool, before atrophying into a Mana Seed, which was then absorbed by the monster.

It was because Zeuss' Mana Seed had completely disappeared that he was no longer a mage. Even if Lin Yun poured mana into him, Zeuss would be unable to hold onto a single bit of it.

Normally, no matter how powerful a mage was, once their Mana Seed was destroyed, they would be crippled forever, as a Mana Seed was something that usually couldn't be regenerated.

Because Mana Seeds represented a mage's magic life. Like a human's life, once they died, they couldn't be revived.

Zeuss hadn't been convinced when he had heard Lin Yun's words at first, or perhaps it was more like he didn't believe it.

But even if he didn't believe his words, Zeuss was like a drowning man in his darkest hour. Even if he was only given a straw, he would hold onto it dearly.

He was originally just trying everything out of desperation since it couldn't get worse, but he was stunned when he felt the Mana Seed within his body recover.

That faint light was like a rumble of thunder in his mind.

He couldn't describe what he was feeling at this moment.

Lin Yun heard the surprise in Zeuss' voice and stopped using the power of the Demiplane. The Demiplane shook, and the changes calmed down. The mana pond also became a lot calmer.

Using the power of the Demiplane for such a long time had been very taxing on his mind, making Lin Yun look abnormally pale.

Zeuss couldn't understand how formidable Lin Yun's actions were, because he'd only thought that Lin Yun was fortunate enough to find a matured Demiplane.

But he didn't know that this Demiplane had only been a piece of land, at first. Let alone the stars and the sun, there had been no trace of the Elemental Laws, and the surroundings were completely empty. It might have collapsed instantly if it encountered a Netherstorm.

From that nothing till now, the Demiplane had gained a sun, the four Elemental Laws, as well close to one hundred and fifty kilometers.

From almost no mana, something that could barely be called a Demiplane now possessed several hundred matured Mana Vines gathering rich mana into a mana pond.

Lin Yun had accompanied this Demiplane on its journey, and his imprint was everywhere!

The biggest constraint making it so that he couldn't fully control the Demiplane was his rank.

He used such a huge amount of power to cleanse Zeuss' body, while also using the power of the Demiplane to make sure that the mana wouldn't injure him. This treatment would even make a good-for-nothing without any magic talent produce a Mana Seed.

In fact, Lin Yun knew that this method would create a formidable Heaven Rank powerhouse a few millennia later.

That guy was called Noves, and he was born into a powerful magic family that had seven or eight Heaven Mages. Even the servants were at least Magic Apprentices.

And Noves, as the only son of the Patriarch, didn't have a single bit of magical talent. He was still a Magic Apprentice at fifteen, and many said that he was ruining the reputation of the Family.

Then, his Mana Seed was crippled in a family conflict.
