The Great Mages present here are all prominent figures in the outside world.

Yet at this moment, under the gaze of Wizard Shen Yu, each one lowered their eyes in shame.

They now understood.

The potion that Wizard Shen Yu produced earlier, which he managed to research and synthesize in just a few hours and easily resolved the Divine Punishment Plague, was actually created by a civilization devoid of Magic Power or any kind of mysterious force.

That was a world, in their eyes, utterly dull, ruled only by the boring laws of matter.

But in such a world, the mighty power humanity created far surpassed their own.

Wizard Shen Yu even spoke bluntly.

If the gods descended upon that civilization, perhaps they would cause considerable destruction, yet they would absolutely fail to annihilate it.

In contrast, though endowed with magic, they were indeed far too feeble.

Wizard Shen Yu took note of every expression and reaction from these Great Mages; to be honest, though magic in this world had only just begun to develop, mages at this stage were also the purest of all.

They did not possess power that could vanquish all other factions, nor did they hold supreme status—their desire to explore magic surpassed everything else.

They could be called a group of "sincere" people.

In light of that, it was only proper to apply some motivation.

"To contend against the gods, relying solely on magic of this level is utterly insufficient." Wizard Shen Yu spoke once more. "Magic Power is the foundation of magic, and it springs from meditation. Acosta, I need you to bring me every piece of research related to Meditation Methods."

Acosta snapped his gaze toward Wizard Shen Yu.

On his aged face, an expression just like a child longing for his beloved toy appeared.

Such delight—utterly pure.

The other Great Mages also stirred restlessly.

They now knew that the cross-plane Teleportation technology brought forth earlier was built upon their own research, and it was derived on the spot!

The Mighty Power of the Divine Court had been put on dazzling display!

Now, did this mean he was going to deduce the Meditation Method?

No instructions from Acosta were needed; the other Great Mages reacted at once, even personally selecting and carrying the materials.

Anything related to Meditation Methods, no matter how remotely, was brought forward.

Wizard Shen Yu looked upon these materials, feeling a brief surge of emotion.

The Meditation Methods of this world were indeed crude.

He sensed that from the very moment he transmigrated here.

Mages increase their Spiritual Power using the simplest possible "Exercise Growth Methods."

In other words, they continually deplete their Spiritual Power and Magic Power, then regain a little during the recovery process.

The essence of every Meditation Method was simply to increase consumption.

Like performing resistance training when building muscle.

That's why Demon Warriors generally excelled over mages.

Demon Warriors learn only a single magic. Through continuous depletion, all Magic Power goes into fortifying the body—that is, Spiritual Power and the physical body are both strengthened, and enhancement of the body seems to feed back into the soul as well.

Even compared to the efficiency of Martial Arts cultivating the Primordial Spirit, it's sadly lacking.

They were fortunate enough to have the Gray Mist.

Otherwise, if mages had to figure it out on their own, who knows how long it would take for a true breakthrough to appear.

The gods would never tolerate such an outcome.

When all Meditation Method-related materials had been gathered before him, Wizard Shen Yu scrutinized every mage present, took out a card, and pressed it onto the documents in front of him.

"First," Wizard Shen Yu stated his demand, "I require this Meditation Method to possess the potential for Ascension to God!"

Boom—!

That single sentence erupted in an uproar among all the mages.

Every pair of eyes stared in astonished shock.

The delight was so great, it exceeded every expectation!

Even Acosta, at this moment, was looking at Wizard Shen Yu in utter disbelief.

Potential for Ascension to God!

This is ascension itself!

Though Wizard Shen Yu had previously referred to ascension as merely a node along the grand path, that was only because Shen Yu himself was extraordinary, but for these mages—could it truly be so simple for them to seize the chance of ascension?

Other Great Mages could no longer restrain themselves and began to exclaim:

"Is this truly ascension to God?"

"I just knew the words of that pioneer were right!"

"Can a mage also become a god?"

"Can such a Meditation Method really be developed in an instant?"

"What Mighty Power!"

"It truly exceeds even the strength of the gods!"

"..."

Clearly, the mages' excitement and awe were impossible to contain.

Even for mages, it is difficult not to feel reverence for the gods in such a world.

No matter how much faith they had in the potential of magic, none dared imagine that ascension could ever be easy, let alone believe they themselves might one day become divine.

Yet at this moment, opportunity itself seemed to arrive just so.

Magic Power, once mighty enough, is godhood!

That was the saying left behind by a pioneer of magic.

Though that pioneer was burned alive by the church, still, in the dead of night, mages could not help but entertain such dreams and longing.

"Silence!" Wizard Shen Yu commanded in a deep voice.

In an instant, every mage grew quiet.

Their eyes shone as they gazed at Wizard Shen Yu.
