Chapter 758 - Giant (1/2)

The origin of all wisdom and the limit of all wisdom, a complete equilibrium that was equivalent to a small sealed world in which only wisdom could answer... It was the only method to strengthen one's own wisdom and beliefs.

There were no landmarks, no time, no sound, and even the air seemed to be gone. Slowly, Lin Yun became paler and paler. From a youth, he turned into a middle-aged man, his robe becoming worn out from the passage of time.

Even after an unknown amount of time, Lin Yun's footsteps had yet to stop. His hair had turned white and he looked quite old, his body stooped over.

The only constant was the staunch belief in his muddy eyes.

The power of wisdom… What was the power of wisdom? That wasn't a simple spell. It also wasn't alchemy. Rather, it was a kind of mystery piercing through one's soul.

Just as Lin Yun's clothing was completely shattered, his skin became full of old wrinkles and he was about to drop the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Book of Mantras. His footsteps became even more arduous and the aura of life was about to thoroughly dissipate, when a wisp of a different aura suddenly appeared in those muddy eyes... The staunch belief fused with a wisp of wisdom.

From life to death, all the wisdom was comprehended by Lin Yun. All the knowledge converged together and turned into an indescribable transformation. It was the kind that could only be felt and not explained.

Wisdom!

In an instant, the endless radiant path changed. The perfectly straight path twisted and turned into a continuously looping circle.

At the center of the circle was a ball of light that seemed to hold all of the world's wisdom.

Lin Yun's muddy eyes became bright, his stooped body became straight once again, and he regained his youth. There was no longer any trace of his aged appearance, as even his robe had recovered.

As Lin Yun looked at the ball of light a drop of cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

'So close! Had I not known beforehand, I might not have been able to follow that radiant path. Without absolute resolve, no one could see the Wisdom God's skull.'

After some time, Lin Yun's stupefied expression slowly recovered. Just now, it looked like decades and centuries had passed. Strictly speaking, it might have only been a day or two.

If he hadn't walked that path from beginning to end, he would basically have been stuck in this plane with no chance of ever getting out.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but Lin Yun felt that he had recovered to his peak. In fact, because of that endless path of light, his mind and soul seemed to have settled down, helping him reach an unprecedented state of enlightenment. He'd only need one thought to step into the Archmage realm.

Lin Yun took a deep breath and walked towards that ball of light with endless colors. With each step, the ball of light became bigger and bigger, and by the time he appeared in front of it, the light already spanned several kilometers.

Lin Yun didn't hesitate and directly stepped into the ball of light.

In an instant, the surroundings turned into a boundless void, and the endless profound runes within the void looked like stars.

As Lin Yun walked to this point, an uncountable number of runes seemed to have turned insane and crazily poured into Lin Yun's body.

A terrifying galaxy of runes spanning through the entire void violently rushed into Lin Yun's head.

Lin Yun instantly became pale, his expression distorting from pain.

This was the fusion of the knowledge, ideas, and power remaining within Constance's skull.

Sweat was dripping down Lin Yun's forehead and his body was soaked as if it had been raining.

It was extremely troublesome… He hadn't expected the remnants of thoughts left behind in Constance's skull to be so formidable.

Lin Yun instantly lost control over his body and his consciousness turned inward.

There was an endless space within his consciousness. And in front of Lin Yun, a giant that was over ten kilometers tall suddenly appeared, seemingly made of the convergence of endless runes. Lin Yun stood under his feet but couldn't see his face even by looking up.

The giant took one step, and the boundless space started crumbling. The space itself seemed unable to bear the power behind that giant's step.

Lin Yun already felt out of breath from the pressure. The space behind the giant already crumbled, and the other half was still in the process of crumbling.

Lin Yun knew that this was Constance's skull trying to occupy his body and crush his soul. This was the power left behind by Constance, the power of a God!

Even a tiny amount, small to the point of being almost invisible, would turn out to be a ten-kilometer-tall giant in his consciousness, while Lin Yun himself was very small.

Lin Yun didn't show the slightest change in expression as he looked at the giant and extended a finger.

He no longer had any choice. He either had to defeat this giant made of runes, or his soul would be crushed and his body would be occupied by Constance's skull.
