Chapter 1279 - Heaven Rank and Demiplane (1/2)

Lin Yun no longer cared about the Rodney Family’s matters, neither did he go look for a place to heal. Instead, he sent a message to Faleau before going to Agalon’s mountain.

He would have died if Agalon hadn’t made a move. Powerhouses above the 5th Rank of the Heaven realm were too frightening, he simply couldn’t resist.

His injuries weren’t too bad, but his strength would be reduced for a couple days.

He arrived at that ordinary mountain once again. The space was the same as before, the kilometer from the bottom of the mountain to the top was still stretching infinitely.

Lin Yun summoned the projection of his Demiplane, which started automatically resisting the changes in the surrounding laws. The projected laws covered a few meters around Lin Yun and forcibly restored the laws to their original state. A few minutes later, Lin Yun effortlessly reached the top of the mountain.

Agalon was sitting on a deck chair, gazing at the sky. There was no cloud above him, in fact, the sky wasn’t even blue, it looked like a starry night sky.

Lin Yun wasn’t surprised by this strange scene. With a slight alteration of the space, the summit’s space and the sky’s space were folded together to completely reduce the atmosphere’s interference against starlight, it was as if they were looking at the starry sky from the void.

Lin Yun quickly walked the few meters separating him from Agalon before respectfully bowing.

“Thank you for your help, Sir Agalon.”

These were his genuine feelings. Agalon was a lot more different from what had been recorded in history books, he was a lot more worthy of respect than what the book made him seem.

He spent years researching the truth about Noscent’s future destruction. He wouldn’t have died so early on if not for the huge amount of time and energy spent in that endeavor. Surpassing the Heaven Rank and igniting Godfire was an inevitable matter. Maybe the disaster that befell Agalon and the Starry Sky College was linked to the things Agalon was researching.

‘He unhesitantly backed me up because he had the feeling that I might know some things about the future. He even wants to entrust the Starry Sky College to me, helped me grow stronger and helped me with comprehending the laws. He gave me tips on the development and comprehension of a Natural Demiplane, everything he does is for the sake of preventing that future disaster…

‘This time, he didn’t even hesitate to make a move. He is definitely worthy of respect…’

Lin Yun had a heavy heart. There were many things he couldn’t say, because speaking about these matters might change the future and he simply didn’t know if these changes would be for better or for worse.

Agalon only sensed that he was destined to fall in a disaster ten years later, that it was his fate. But Lin Yun knew that Agalon would set foot on the starry sky battlefield’s path after that disaster occurred, only to never return.

Lin Yun could see from Agalon’s peaceful appearance that the latter didn’t feel that his future death was unacceptable, in fact, he wasn’t trying to prevent it.

Lin Yun inwardly sighed and remained silent about these matters, he didn’t try to warn Agalon not to step on the starry sky battlefield. This would be useless and might even backfire and convince him that the most important clues were in the starry sky battlefield. After the disaster occurred, he would inevitably rush there without looking back.

‘It’s a matter of strength. I’ll be able to change this tragic conclusion as long as I’m powerful enough, we will see then…’

After hesitating for a bit, Lin Yun made up his mind. He would do his best to increase his strength and develop his Natural Demiplane. He would prevent Agalon’s fall ten years later, and he might even be able to prevent that disaster.

Agalon saw Lin Yun’s complicated expression and softly sighed. He couldn’t know what Lin Yun was actually worried about, in fact, he thought that Lin Yun had suffered a blow after experiencing the power of a 6th Rank Heaven Mage.

“Mafa, now you should know the difference in power between you and a Heaven Mage that surpasses the 5th Rank?”

Lin Yun nodded with a casual expression, “It’s a difference in quality, it’s not something that could be emulated with mana or spells.”

Agalon nodded, “There are records of the battles between deities of the distant Mythological Era, the most important one is the battle between the Sea God and the Volcanic God.

“The Sea God’s mana was boundless, his mana pool was as big as the Endless Sea. When it came to mana, no other god could compare. Even the ruler of the gods, the Godking, couldn’t compare in that regard.

“As for the Volcanic God, his territory had been located in the volcanic region in the southern part of the continent, bordering the Sea God’s territory. They were constantly at odds and never stopped fighting. A war between the Sea God and the Volcanic God ended up happening during the era of wars, but the outcome was unexpected.

“The Volcanic God was one of the lesser deities ranked below the 60th rank while the Sea God was ranked above 20th rank.

“Moreover, the Volcanic God’s territory was a few dozen times smaller than the Sea God’s.

“But their first actual war ended with the Sea God’s heart beating for the last time. The Volcanic God’s power pierced through the terrifying plane-destroying magic power and ended the Sea God’s life.”

Lin Yun was faintly startled and recalled reading something like this in the records of the gods, but it was just a story which no one paid attention to. Could there be something hidden in the story?

“This was a battle which changed the path of Noscent’s development. From that point on, all of Noscent’s lifeforms stopped focusing on pure magic power and started focusing on the gap in quality.

“The era of huge bodies and tsunami-like attacks ended. That concept became common sense since the start of the Nesser Dynasty and no one questioned it.

“And the origin of this change was the fall of a powerful God. In our current era, the gap between each rank is a qualitative gap. In a battle between an Expert Swordsman and a Sword Saint, the Sword Saint would only need to use a tenth of their power to easily slice their opponent.

“This is the essence of rank suppression. It is the same for the Heaven Rank. The first three ranks of the Heaven Realm are just a foundation for law comprehension and usage of law power. The Extraordinary Power they can release is several dozen times stronger than what an Archmage can release. This is a qualitative pressure and has nothing to do with quantity.

“At the 4th Rank, one would start making use of their Demiplane. Demiplanes would stabilize upon the weight of the laws, they would become even more perfect and start influencing the surroundings.”

Lin Yun suddenly understood. His Demiplane could help him resist the transformed spatial law on the way to the summit by altering laws themselves. By projecting the laws, he was able to remain unaffected.

“At the 5th Rank, Heaven Mages can start using the power of their Demiplanes. It’s also when the strength of Heaven Rank powerhouses quickly rise. The power of a Demiplane far exceeds the power of a mage.

“We possess Natural Demiplanes, and thus, we are bound to be far stronger than other mages. This is because the laws of Natural Demiplanes aren’t limited to the laws a mage comprehended, nor to the extent of their comprehension.

“The laws of Natural Demiplanes evolve alongside the Natural Demiplanes. This is a fact, the law power of Natural Demiplanes are more comprehensive and powerful, whether it is in regard to quality or quantity, they far exceed Heaven Mages’ Demiplanes.
