Parchment rolls, quills, skulls... Iolum's breathing became a little heavier, and his face became slightly gloomy.

Opening the book, he glanced at the text introduction inside, then closed it again and put it back where it was. At the same time, his heart became heavier.

"Nether unknowingly aroused the malicious intent of such a terrifying existence."

Iolum took a few deep breaths to calm down.

The pattern on the book cover is the holy symbol of a god.

He is a powerful divine being, known as the ancient God of Death, the Lord of the End of All Things, the King of Bones...Yeager, the God of Death.

Even among all the powerful gods, this one is quite terrifying.

Lawful Good, Neutral Good, Lawful Neutral, Absolute Neutral, Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil... Almost all camps have followers of the Lord of the End of All Things.

All creatures believe in this god of death because they fear death.

Similarly, the Goddess of Magic and the Ancient God of Death have always disliked each other, because the Goddess of Magic believes that this is an extremely evil god.

"Why would he target the Netheril Empire?"

If nothing unexpected happens, the god who wants to destroy Nese is most likely this one.

Iolum left Asberg's lair, and after returning to his secluded and empty lair, he thought silently.

He closed his eyes slightly and began to recall Netheril's journey from weakness to glory, thinking about how his country had incurred the hostility of the Lord of the End of All Things.

After a few days.

Iolum opened his eyes.

"Any living creature is destined to have an eternal resting place the moment it is born. Life is the process of finding this place and obtaining eternal rest."

"Compared with the eternity of death, strength, success, joy and weakness, failure, and sorrow are all equally transitory, and the various activities of life are nothing but fleeting and disordered phenomena."

"Only death is the eternal absolute, it is the end that must come."

"........."

"Death is the end of everything and the inevitable outcome. Only in order to serve death should we extend our life span."

Iolum murmured softly.

The above is the content of the teachings of the Lord who is the end of all things.

Inside, Éorum discovered the reason why the god wanted to destroy the Netherese Empire.

The outline of a model composed of magical energy appeared in Iolum's hands.

His face was heavy and he sighed quietly.

"Probably, it's because of the immortality spell."

The Lord of the End of All Things is the incarnation of death. He looks down on all things and allows each creature to meet its fate of final death.

However, the great arcanists of Netheril escaped death through the spell of immortality.

Before the advent of immortality.

If the Grand Arcanist wants to live longer, he mainly relies on the ritual of transforming into a lich. Liches are just false immortals. Most lichs end up either going crazy and committing suicide or being killed due to bloodthirsty madness.

But immortality is different.

This spell allows countless Grand Arcanists to survive eternally with sound human minds and bodies. As time goes by, there will be more and more Grand Arcanists in Nether.

If there is no external interference, the immortality spell can make any of its users immortal.

Strictly speaking, this spell is also a forbidden spell like the magic of ascending to the gods.

Because the cost of casting the spell is too small, and it is at the expense of the lives of other creatures, the caster only has one requirement for magical attainments, which is not very high.

"However, even if I am the Lord of the End of All Things, it will not be so easy to destroy the country that I have devoted all my efforts to!"

Iolum's eyes quickly became determined.

He passed the news he learned to Garen, and then added the extraordinary invisibility spell to himself [a spell that can reduce one's presence in the main material world and avoid the attention of gods].

In the days that followed, Iolum did not leave. He continued to live underground as a phaerinn.

Three years and three years later, he even participated in the war and led the Felin Demon Kui to achieve the first victory of causing the floating city to fall from the sky. After that, in all the wars he led, he easily defeated the Arcanist's front.

As a result, the prestige of this 'Elder Allen' among the Felin Demon Kui clan has been rising steadily, reaching the peak of the sky.

Many Faerun demons regard 'Elder Allen' as the most charismatic elder of the demon clan in ten thousand years, and they follow him one after another.

After figuring out who the enemy was, Iolum had a new goal.

............

"The mastermind behind this is indeed one of the gods speculated by the Mother of Dragons."

On a frosty winter day, the silver dragon in the canyon looked toward the sky.

The floating cities in the field of vision are no longer as stable as before. Because the energy supply of the core of the magic network is insufficient, they will tremble and shake from time to time, like an earthquake.

"But what does Iolum want to do?"

"In addition to the King of Arcanists, will he also be the King of Demon Sunflowers?"

Because he has always been in contact with Iolum, Garen thought silently thinking of his actions in recent years.

If he can really become the King of the Sunflower, he can indeed delay the Netheril Empire for a long time.

"Teacher, what are you thinking about?"

At this time, Karsus, who was already in his early twelve years, said to Garen.

Six more years later, Karsus has become a mid-level spellcaster and has mastered sixth-level spells, not far from being a high-ranking spellcaster.

If he continues to grow at this rate, Garen estimates that he doesn't even need to reach adulthood to reach the legendary level.

What a terrifying magical talent... Garen sighed inwardly as he looked at Karsus, whose face gradually opened up and his face became more delicate.

"Karsus, if you were the Grand Arcanist, how would you deal with Feilin Mokui?"

Hearing Garen's question, Karsus was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment, and said: "I will try to develop a magic form that is not affected by suction magic. In this way, I can use their strongest means to

Invalid."

As a member of the Arcanists, although Karsus devoted himself to learning spells from Garen, he also had some understanding of the situation in the Nether Empire.

This is his country after all.

Karsus could feel the increasingly solemn atmosphere in the floating city, and this was brought by the Phaelings. If possible, he wanted to kill all the Phaelings.

Garen shook his head and said to Karsus: "This is the most simple idea."

"Do you think there are no other great arcanists who think this way? But none of them succeeded. No matter how the form of magic power changes, the essence will not change. Even if you succeed, Felin Demon Sunflower can also improve the absorption of magic and be used for it.

To deal with the new form of magic."

Karsus raised his head, looked at the majestic mountain dragon, and said, "Please teach me, teacher."

Garen smiled slightly and said: "In the multiverse, the most powerful power is in the hands of the gods."

"If you can gain divine power, the Felin Demon Sunflower won't be a big problem."

"You swore that you could become a god, so work hard and give it a try."

Karsus shrugged and said: "Teacher, of course I want to become a god, but gaining faith, igniting the divine fire, and condensing the divine personality... this step is too difficult."

The silver dragon lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Really? In my eyes, Karsus is not an arcane master who follows the rules."

After a pause, he guided him intentionally or unintentionally: "You are an arcanist, why don't you be more bold and try to create a spell that can make you a god in one step?"

"Spells are the will of the caster and should be omnipotent."

After listening to Garen's words, Karsus' eyes flickered, looking thoughtful.

"Achieve God in one step..."

He murmured in a low voice, with a look of longing in his eyes as he spoke.

"Okay, today I will teach you the new sixth-level spells, the spell invalidation barrier, and the dissociation spell."

After a little guidance, Garen continued to teach Karsus about magic.

In order for Karsus to successfully create the art of ascending to the gods, he has done this kind of thing many times over the years.

In short, under Garen's constant guidance, Karsus's heart is full of longing for the power of gods, and he wants to become a god through the method of an arcanist, solve the crisis caused by the phaerimm, and become a Netherese

Your new patron saint.

After finishing the spell instruction, Garon brought Karsus back to the floating city.

He did not leave, but went to the Church of the Goddess of Magic again.

Garen has no plot of personal heroism. He wanted to reverse the collapse of the Nether Empire, but he never thought of doing it all by himself, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to contact Iolum.

It is the most stupid thing to turn a blind eye when there is obviously other help.

From Garen's point of view, the most powerful helper that the Nether Empire could find at this time was far away and right in front of him.

Looking at the holy emblem pattern of the swirling seven stars, Garen stepped onto the stairs to enter the Church of the Goddess of Magic.
