Chapter 310: Chapter 230: The 3-Eyed Goblin’s Battle for Fame

’The Song of Life, a Divine Art that can resurrect the dead. This is great stuff!’

One must understand that even Deities can’t just casually resurrect the dead. They must possess the corresponding Authority to do so. That made this Divine Art, the Song of Life, which could be used for resurrection, absolutely precious.

Although Isaac couldn’t use it...

’But that didn’t matter. For a Wizard, the fear isn’t being unable to use something; it’s not having it in the first place!’

’Being unable to use it just means your research level isn’t high enough.’

For Isaac, studying this Divine Art would allow him to attempt to step into the Authority Domain of Deities, which would be a great help to his current research.

After his promotion to a High-level Mage, the Flesh Sect and the Truth Association had granted Isaac access to greater privileges, allowing him to learn Knowledge he had previously been unaware of.

For example, the classification of Authority.

Broadly speaking, Authority was just Authority. In reality, however, if one were to break it down, there were distinct differences between the Authority of a Wizard, the Authority of a Knight, and the Authority of a Deity.

Of the three, even with the same Authority, a Wizard could develop Authority Magic to unleash the Authority’s own power, multiplying it several or even tens of times over.

A Knight’s Authority, on the other hand, could only be exerted to the extent of their personal mastery. A Knight who could unleash one hundred percent of its power was already considered exceptionally outstanding.

Of course, some might argue this was because Wizards were good at using their brains while Knights were just brutes.

However, Knights had Combat Techniques similar to a Wizard’s Magic, yet no Combat Technique existed that could multiply an Authority’s power several or even tens of times over.

This difference was even more pronounced when it came to Deities.

Deities, with their long lifespans, possessed Knowledge no inferior to that of a High-level Mage. Yet, to this day, not a single Deity had ever developed Authority Magic.

Even those Wizards who achieved Ascension to Divinity could no longer use Authority Magic the very moment they became a God.

And while Deities lacked Authority Magic to multiply their Authority Power like Wizards, their Authority was very special. It possessed the unique characteristic of being shareable with their Believers.

Sharing, not distributing.

This sharing didn’t diminish the power the Deity personally held. Although only fanatics and Followers could enjoy this special privilege, it was still terrifying. It meant that a Deity could, at will, instantly summon a horde of enforcers who wielded powerful Authority.

After all, fanatics were rare, but Followers...

A Deity could have as many of those as they wanted.

’At the same time, maybe I could try using this Divine Art as a foundation to develop a Magic that could resurrect Deities?’

’All in all, the future looked very promising!’

Filled with anticipation for the future, Isaac threw himself back into researching the data from the Divine Blood. Although there were only two complete Divine Arts, it didn’t mean the rest of the data was useless.

They were merely incomplete, but they still held research value.

And so, Isaac immersed himself in his research once more.

Meanwhile, his other plans continued unabated. The Saint Master took the Empire’s Infinite Expansion Decree and led the Dimension Apostles into the Endless Wilderness to claim new territory for Isaac.

The Endless Wilderness was a very special place in this world. Isaac had always suspected it was the handiwork of some Great Wizard. However, perhaps because it was too ancient or simply too powerful, its origins were completely shrouded in the Mysterious. Isaac had been unable to find a single clue about it.

Isaac’s suspicion stemmed from its unique nature. The Endless Wilderness, true to its name, was infinite. The Wilderness was filled with countless Demons and Black Orcs, and it also held incredibly rich Magic Resources.

To this day, the Truth Association’s research project on exploring the borders of the Wilderness was still ongoing, having already outlasted two or three generations of Arcanists.

Naturally, just like the Endless Sea, a place so rich in resources was coveted by many individuals and factions.

But unlike the Endless Sea, the Endless Wilderness was saturated with vast amounts of Chaos Magic Power. Not even Transcendents could remain within it for long, let alone ordinary people.

Thus, to solve this problem, the Pioneer Order came into being.

A Pioneer Order possessed a special power, a type of Concept, that could temporarily suppress the Chaos Magic Power within a certain area, making it habitable for ordinary people.

Of course, the trade-off was that the suppressed area would shine as brightly as a flame in the dead of night, continuously attracting nearby Black Orcs and Demons to launch relentless, suicidal attacks.

These attacks were endless. As long as a territory bordered the Wilderness, the Black Orcs and Demons from within would attack it ceaselessly.

This was also why the Empire had repeatedly made concessions to Solomon, even though he was just one of the new Nobility.

The combat strength of the Border Nobility faction was truly formidable.

But to return to the main point, although the attacks were endless, if one could successfully defend against the onslaught of Black Orcs and Demons for three years, that piece of wilderness would be considered successfully claimed. The Magic Power within it would no longer revert to a chaotic state, even without the suppression of a Pioneer Order.

Furthermore, this act of claiming the land would cause it to merge completely with the Real World.
