Chapter 303: Promising Future

The arguments continued throughout the meeting. News of gods coming to the mortal world and of new gods ascending the throne made the extraordinary people in the meeting feel extremely anxious.

The three major churches on the Alen Continent were constantly improving their divine systems, rule systems, and belief systems. As Lu Zhiyu had thought before, among the new systems, the divine grace system had become one of the most important systems. If one wanted to become a saint, learn divine incantations, and acquire divine gifts, he must constantly carry out tasks of the system of divine grace.

A large number of priests constituted a church legion to control the Alen Continent, constantly suppressing wizards. As the whole Alen Continent was gradually controlled by divine power, wizards’ activities and living spaces were reduced, so the wizards who had lagged behind were becoming anxious.

“There is only one solution. Our wizards must have a god to act on our behalf!” Edward said.

Felix, Dean of the Colossus College, glanced at Edward and asked, “So, can this god guarantee the interests of all of the wizards?”

The Prime Minister of Sean City-State Alliance chimed in at this moment, “That’s also my question. I can do as you want, but what can we get out of it?”

Marina looked at the crowd and said, “You may have forgotten that this is the land of alchemists.”

The present debate was centering around the beliefs of the Sean City-State Alliance. The three churches on the Alen Continent would never let a wizard ascend the divine throne in their territories. This was mainly because of Heckfoss’ and Louis Biketo’s hatred towards wizards.

After Marina had joined the wizard tower and Colossus College, the senior cabinet members of Sean City-State Alliance had intended to get rid of the control of the alchemists. By the end of the meeting, they still hadn’t reached any solid agreement.

At the same time, the three parties were also preparing for their own futures. The wizard tower was preparing to take a large number of wizards and humans to immigrate to the mainland of Yala. At present, two-thirds of Yala had yet be explored by the elves. The rich Yala Continent had now become the plan B of the wizard tower.

Also, Colossus College had built a relationship with the Mermaid Kingdom. With the good relationship between the orcs and the mermaids, they were ready to go to the Swirl Continent and built their own kingdom.

Nowadays, the masters of Akkad Alchemy College, the wizard tower, and Colossus College were no longer like the first generation of wizards. Their relationships and friendships were no longer as close as the first generation of wizards were. Instead, intense competition and cliquey exclusivity were common.

By the end of the meeting, even though Marina and the alchemists made some compromises and somewhat gained the upper hand, while the wizard tower and the Colossus College also formed an alliance with the alchemists, no real solutions were realized.

Lu Zhiyu sat quietly in the corner throughout the entire meeting. The wizard tower was going to Yala to establish its own kingdom. The Colossus College was supported by the Mermaid Kingdom, and the alchemists and Marina would ignite the divine fire in Sean City-State Alliance.

Every party had chosen their own future and decided to have a god. This was not necessarily unexpected for Lu Zhiyu, who thought that, perhaps, having a god was their only choice.

At the end of the meeting, Lu Zhiyu pushed open the side door of the hall and left quietly. At the same time, Catherine, from the first generation of wizards, saw a familiar figure in the corner.

Catherine immediately chased him outside, but did not see anyone, neither did her mind power sense any familiar smell or existence. As she did not see the person she wanted to see, she suddenly felt very depressed.

At that moment, someone patted her on the shoulder from behind and asked, “Catherine, are you looking for me?”

When Catherine looked back in surprise, she saw a black-haired and black-eyed young man, who she felt was so familiar. In fact, he was someone who all of the first generation of wizards would never forget!

Catherine tried to calm down, but still revealed her nerd-like expression from childhood as she looked at Lu Zhiyu. Even after hundreds of years, neither of them had grown old.

In fact, time seemed to have left no traces on them. They looked the same as when they were in the wizard tower. However, the people and things of that year were no longer there.

Lu Zhiyu looked at Catherine and remembered the time when she was curled up in the corner of the library, reading books in the dim light. He also remembered when Bohr, Akkad, and Li Weisi peeked at her in class.

Standing on the street in front of the tall congress castle, amid the passersby, they both smiled at one another. Catherine then asked, “What do you think of the future of the wizards, mentor?”

“Haven’t you all decided that yet? After all, you are in control of your future,” Lu Zhiyu replied.

Catherine said, “I don’t see the future of the wizards, mentor. Becoming gods is not the future of the wizards. I only see the end of the wizards’ road.”

Lu Zhiyu turned back and looked at Catherine. His eyes were soft as he asked, “Why?”

Catherine frowned. “When one comes to the throne of the gods, most of the other wizards will become his followers. Wizards will then lose their own pursuits for knowledge and truth. They will, in essence, become the servants of the gods, no longer being true wizards.”

Catherine looked at the sky and then at the street with sadness, as if she could not see any hope therein. “We have no future when gods exist.”

Lu Zhiyu asked, “So, what is the future of the wizards in your imagination?”

Catherine laughed. “It’s not just what I imagine… It’s Bohr, Akkad, Li Weisi, every classmate and every wizard! They all describe the future of the wizards, the civilization of the wizards, and the wizards’ world of knowledge, as well as truth and freedom to me.

Lu Zhiyu was silent for a long time. Catherine looked at Lu Zhiyu’s face. Then, after a long time had passed, she saw Lu Zhiyu raise his head.

Apparently, he had made a decision. “Yes, I will let wizards have a future!”

“What kind of future is that?” Catherine asked.

“A future that satisfies you and all of the wizards!” Lu Zhiyu replied.
