I Pioneered Scientific Magic

Lynn Maxwell pondered for a moment and concluded that his immunity to the poison of faith was likely due to two reasons.

First, he did not establish connections with the wizards through faith, so he naturally did not need to listen to prayers daily.

Second, every time he connected to the magic web, he used an AI brain as a relay point. If one were to be precise, it was not him who directly bore the burden of processing everything.

While thinking, Lynn confirmed this with the AI brain in his mind and quickly received a positive answer.

As he had guessed, in the process of computing power retrieval, he would inevitably come into contact with these individuals' memories or thoughts. However, since his commands did not include such information, they were treated as irrelevant and discarded.

Could divinity be something similar? Or rather, what methods should they use to achieve this?

The existence of the AI brain was entirely accidental. It was an auxiliary chip implanted in the brain, nothing unusual within the federation, where every new era individual was equipped with one at birth.

Due to unknown reasons, it was quantumized during his travel through time. With the enhancement from the magic web, its computing power also significantly increased.

However, similar technologies did exist in the databank, namely, the human brain quantum computer!

It was one of the most cutting-edge research projects of the federation, part of the New Humanity Project.

Due to the rapid development of technology, relying solely on human memory and the inheritance of knowledge was becoming increasingly insufficient to meet the demands of the latest scientific research.

For any cutting-edge scientific theory, it might take decades of in-depth study to master just a small branch of it.

This was the reason for the implantation of auxiliary chips in the brain, which could significantly solve the problem of basic knowledge storage. Together with genetic modification technology, it greatly accelerated the speed of learning.

Based on this concept, many researchers with great imagination hoped to go further, combining the federation's advanced quantum computer technology with human brain modification to create a group of new humans with extraordinary intelligence. They believed this technology could trigger the seventh scientific revolution!

However, how to modify consciousness was a problem that federation's researchers had not completely solved before Lynn's time travel.

However, on this planet, things were different. The magic power transmitted from the other side of the space portal possessed extraordinary strength. What the federation could not achieve might not be impossible here.

Although Lynn did not know how Aila obtained her divinity, the human brain quantum computer technology could potentially become the divinity for the wizards!

The feather pen soaked in ink glided continuously over the white paper, recording these thoughts one by one. This was the next key topic for research.

Of course, transforming this cutting-edge federation technology into magic was probably not so straightforward. Apart from a deep study of the quantum field, Lynn reckoned that achievements in the psychic field were also necessary.

In comparison, leveraging the AI brain, the only divinity within the wizard community, to increase his own combat power to deal with the extremely powerful Aila who had escaped through the space portal was an even more urgent issue.

Lynn already had an idea in his mind, which he named the Magic Web - Mass Production of Wizards Plan!

As Lynn was thinking, a knock on the door echoed from outside.

"Come in," Lynn said casually, putting down his feather pen.

Philip entered, and upon seeing the scattered balls of paper on the floor and the desk full of research notes, he couldn't help but admire that the Star of Magic not only had extraordinary talent in magic but also an unparalleled dedication.

Even geniuses worked so hard, Philip felt somewhat ashamed, but he was also somewhat proud of his foresight. A few years ago, he had insisted, against all opposition, on making Lynn, who had only arrived at Iyeta for a few months, the leader of the Iyeta School of Wizards. Now, it seemed like the best decision he had ever made.

"Headmaster, Chairman Harof has asked me to inform you to attend tonight's meeting. He said there's something very important to announce," Philip paused before reminding.

"Alright, I'll be there shortly," Lynn said, opening his hand. A magical wind blew across, and the disorderly papers on the desk immediately fluttered together.

It seemed the council had discovered something new.

...

At night, in the holy city, within a temporary magic tent, a group of council members gathered, with Lynn arriving last as usual.

But no one minded this, as they all knew the chairmen had been pondering countermeasures recently.

After taking his seat, Lynn did not rush to express his thoughts but instead asked, "How are the imperial war efforts going?"

"From the intelligence we've received, everything is going smoothly!" Aurora replied with a smile.

The kingdom's army had marched all the way to the empire's capital city, with their most significant activity being taking over

various cities.

This was because the stationed guards and nobles had all fled before the arrival of the large army, probably planning to regroup for a final resistance.

"If it weren't for Councilor Lynn's suggestion to purge each city's nobility and put them on trial, this war would have probably ended long ago!" one of the archwizards said with some regret.

The church established by that false god had already collapsed, and even the holy city had been captured. Anyone with a brain knew that opposing the wizards was a dead end.

Therefore, the nobles had long wanted to surrender. As long as they nodded in agreement, the council could take over the entire empire without bloodshed.

The only condition was to retain certain privileges for the nobles. In exchange, they were willing to give up most of their wealth and cooperate with the council to eliminate the remnants of the church.

However, Lynn's plan for the purge of the nobility disrupted all this, causing all the empire's nobles to unite and resist stubbornly. Most importantly, they used their influence to cause trouble in the dark, making the local security forces quite troubled.

"Perhaps we should slightly relax the conditions to end the war with the empire as quickly as possible," the archwizard suggested, immediately garnering agreement from many council members.

"No, I still stand by my view," Lynn shook his head.

Indeed, stepping back now would allow them to take over the entire empire. However, if they did not carry out the purge, the problems would only accumulate and erupt later.

As long as the empire's major nobles remained in their territories, they posed a significant threat to the council and would severely hinder his meritocratic official selection system.

These individuals had strong influence in their territories. Now, out of fear of death, they were willing to relinquish their power and cooperate with the council's work. But that might not be the case after some time, most likely evolving into the local gentry.

This would force the local officials to some extent to appease these former lords to smoothly implement various decrees.

This was not what Lynn wanted to see. If reforms were to be carried out, they should be more thorough, sweeping away the two major ruling classes of the empire — the clergy and the nobility — to make way for his knowledge promotion system, which was also a tool to please the lower-class poor.

Based on this idea, Lynn could not accept any of the empire's major nobles. As for the minor nobles, if they were wise, they could be spared.

Intellectuals were still in short supply.

With this explanation, the council members who had previously spoken out fell silent.

Lynn could see that these council members who had 'righteously spoken' for the nobles were mostly bribed, but seeing that they did not continue to argue, he was too lazy to bother with them.

"Since no one has any objections, let's continue with Councilor Lynn's purge plan," Harof forcefully moved on.

As Lynn said, external enemies were easier to deal with than internal turmoil, especially now that they had the upper hand. Even if the nobles banded together, they could not cause much trouble.

"Here are some materials dug up from the holy city's library. Take a look, everyone!" Harof knocked on the table, and the documents in front of him scattered to each council member, pulling their attention back from the imperial war.

Lynn became serious. He understood that Harof's sudden call for an emergency meeting must involve something very important, probably related to this.

But to his surprise, what appeared in the documents were several fragmented paintings.

In these paintings, Lynn saw the space portal, saw magnificent cities, and saw many figures kneeling on the ground praying and worshiping.

"Are these murals?" Alade asked hesitantly.

"Most likely, they should have been collected and organized by the church," Harof nodded.

"And who is depicted on them?" a council member asked, pointing to one of the murals.

The figure in the painting was bathed in moonlight, exuding divinity...

During the battle for the holy city, they had witnessed Aila's true form. Although the mural was somewhat damaged, it was still possible to see that the two figures did not look the same.

"That should be the Moon Goddess Diana!" Victorio cautiously pronounced this name.

The wizards present furrowed their brows. To them, this was an utterly unfamiliar name.

"Did we get this information from Gustav?" Lynn asked.

This high-ranking church official had always been a very important source of intelligence for them.

"Correct!" Victorio nodded.

He stimulated Gustav with the news of the holy city's fall and Aila's defeat 'death' and once again extracted some information from the other's mind, including this name.

Based on this intelligence and some materials found in the holy city's library, he barely pieced together a line of thought.

An unknown number of years ago, the space portal

suddenly appeared on this planet, and a massive influx of magic power caused mutations in lifeforms. Along with this came the Moon Goddess Diana.

She easily conquered the entire continent with her powerful divine power.

Victorio even suspected that all magical beasts originated from the other side of the space portal.

But this Moon Goddess died soon after, with no recorded reason. The event must have been sudden. It is foreseeable that her divine system collapsed as a result. The psychic wizards who had gained power directly overthrew her rule, followed by the faith wars they knew of.

"That strange crystal, I've seen it in Gustav's memories. It should be a relic of that Moon Goddess," Victorio explained.

Listening to Victorio's exposition, the wizards present were filled with discussions, their doubts not only unresolved but multiplied.

What exactly exists beyond the space portal? Did intelligent life originate from there?

According to Victorio's speculation, the planet they stood on was originally a desolate land without magic. Then, what kind of force killed the Moon Goddess?

They had seen Aila's strength firsthand, and that crystal was an existence that even a nuclear explosion could not destroy.

Was the force that killed Diana native to this planet, or was it also a powerful being from the other side of the space portal?

"Could it be the sun?" one of the archwizards wildly speculated, imagining the most terrifying natural force he could think of — the sun.

Its unimaginably vast energy and mass, if even a tiny bit leaked, could crush the entire planet!

However, this idea obviously did not gain much support. No matter how powerful stellar forces were, they ultimately were inanimate. Unless someone foolishly dived into the sun, they would not die.

Lynn, however, was pondering whether the force that killed Diana came from outside this planet, from deeper within the cosmos.

Upon learning that magic might originate from another world, he began to suspect whether he was still in the technological universe of his previous life, just reaching another star system.

Because the two most important universal constants, the speed of light and the gravitational constant, completely matched up. This should not be merely a coincidence.

"Since the Moon Goddess Diana once ruled this continent, why have we not collected any information about her before?" Raphael pondered. Even if Diana's divine empire disappeared, there should still be numerous ruins.

"I think it might be that Aila, after winning the faith war and ruling this continent, consciously erased evidence of her existence," Harof responded.

So, they needed to do the same, eradicating the church's faith foundation in the empire!

This might be the key to killing her, or at least weakening her power!

In the midst of their discussion, Lynn also came back to his senses. Now was not the time to think about whether there were extraterrestrial civilizations.

Although the cause of the fallen Moon Goddess's death was unclear, during the centuries of church rule, this eternal star had not faced threats from the cosmos. It was unlikely they would suddenly encounter an attack.

The biggest threat now was Aila, who had fled through the space portal.

With this in mind, Lynn took out the plan he had prepared earlier, which was his Mass Production of Wizards Plan...
