I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 177 - 164: I’m talking about the apocalypse, and you’re talking science to me? (Please subscribe)
```
Compared to Luo’er, who hailed from Wizard Land and knew nothing about the outside world and was somewhat blindly optimistic, Lynn naturally thought more.
Through a simple logical deduction, if the power accumulated in Wizard Land were enough to defeat the Church, then the Council would have no reason to refuse a broader world.
Thus, there was only one possibility, the strength possessed by the Church was beyond the comparison of these wizards!
The Goddess... "Eyla."
Lynn couldn’t help but remember the terrifying apparition she saw before fleeing the harbor town.
If the power of wizards came from Magic Power and relied on knowledge to unleash magic and gain the great power to change the world, then what was Divine Arts, and how could it surpass both wizards and magic?
This was also the most confounding question Lynn had since arriving in this strange world. It seemed that the clergy could use Divine Arts simply by relying on their steadfast belief.
Amid Lynn’s tentative stance, this private conversation could only hastily come to an end.
After Luo’er and August had departed, Philip hesitated for a while before he finally asked, "Professor Lynn, is the Church’s power really that formidable? Does even the ’Secret Magic Society’ have to submit to its rule?"
"The ’Secret Magic Society’ is just a scholarly organization that discusses magic," Lynn shook her head. "Don’t forget, this world is vast, and there’s more than just Wizard Land and the Church’s influence. I can’t be sure how many scholars come from even more distant lands; they might not be willing to intervene in matters here..."
Lynn patched things up once again to avoid the awkwardness of one day seeing wizards destroy the Church, rule the empire, and then not be able to find anyone to govern.
...
Late at night, in Greenrill City, within an ancient manor.
Hundreds of wizards dressed in ceremonial garb gathered in the great hall, devoutly listening to a middle-aged wizard’s lecture. His voice was hoarse and deep, carrying a unique charm.
"Just as we understand, the world is moving from order to chaos. Our ceaseless demand on the elements has enraged the great Elemental Spirits, and the end of all living creatures is approaching..."
"When four stars hang high in the sky, in alignment with the silver moon, the Elemental Spirits will descend their judgment. The earth will sink, and the entire world will succumb to the terrifying elemental deluge, until, at last, the silver moon will be drawn toward this continent, completely destroying everything!"
"And until this day, the Council is still deceiving us. They keep us captive here, stripping us of our freedom, leading all wizards astray with the plunder of elemental power, hastening the arrival of doomsday..."
"Now, there are only five years left before the Elemental Spirits’ final judgment. We must persuade everyone to abandon the idea of controlling and enslaving the elements, to let the elements return to order, or else we will be waiting for eternal darkness and death."
"Let us now pray for the forgiveness of the great Elemental Spirits, follow the will of the Elemental Spirits, and in turn, they will bestow upon us even greater power!"
As the middle-aged wizard spoke passionately, the atmosphere in the hall gradually heated up, each wizard’s face alight with fervor, but there were also a few who looked doubtful.
A young witch, after hesitating for a long time, spoke up. "But, Sir Lynn said at the seminar a few days ago that this kind of alignment of five stars is a very normal astronomical phenomenon, related to the orbital periods of planets. Just by calculating the least common multiple of several planetary periods, one can predict the next occurrence, which happens about every seventy years."
"Moreover, the stars’ own velocity and gravity form a new balance. There is no air resistance in the vacuum of space, so the moon suddenly losing speed and falling is impossible..."
Before she could finish, her words were cut off.

"Absurd!"
The male wizard’s face showed his rage as he glared at the young witch who had raised the question, rebuking her fiercely.
"The planetary theory is a complete lie!"
"That so-called wizard from beyond the Mist Sea is just a sneaky, cunning fraudster. He’s trying to delude us with his foolish methods, using a magical trick..."
"This world must be flat; otherwise, the sea would flow backwards, and everything would fall into an endless abyss!"
"Think about it, how could we live on a bent world where the land cannot be farmed, and houses cannot possibly be built on a rugged, uneven surface?"
The wizard continued with modulation in his voice, "If what they say were true, then why measure the angle of the Earth’s core in the deep sea far away from us? Who among you has ever witnessed it with your own eyes?"

"All we have seen are two drawings they brought back, news of an alleged successful experiment, and that ridiculous pendulum powered by alchemical magic..."
As the male wizard went on, the originally skeptical wizards in the great hall quickly reaffirmed their beliefs.
"What a bunch of brainless lunatics." At that moment, Aiden, who was using shadow magic to hide in a corner of the hall, looked at the wizards who were echoing like bewitched beings with a sneer on his face.
This so-called doomsday theory is entirely baseless speculation. Aiden couldn’t help but wonder if these doomsday cult wizards had seawater instead of brains for believing in the end of the world and those nonsensical elemental spirits...
Contrast this with a few days ago, when Lord Lynn presented his compelling, unassailable scientific experiment at the seminar, proving the Star Map theory, Aiden couldn’t help but marvel.
This is what wizards should have, the true spirit of scholarship!
"Don’t you think there’s something odd about this, Aiden?" next to him, another sheriff spoke with grave concern on his face. He felt that the wizards attending the gathering were behaving somewhat abnormally. Even while he was listening to the speech, an inexplicable fervor had stirred in his heart.
It might be the influence of some kind of magic.
Alerted by his companion, Aiden also quickly noticed this and looked towards the red-robed male wizard who wouldn’t stop talking on the stage, recalling the intelligence he had on the doomsday cult.
This strange cult originated about fifteen years ago, initially not even bearing that name, at most being considered a more obscure academic research organization.
They proposed many theories that highly coincided with those of the legendary wizard Altoc’s elemental studies, such as the world constantly moving from order to chaos, the possibility that elements could possess consciousness, and so on... Experience new tales on novelbuddy
However, in the last three years, there had been a different change, beginning to advocate the so-called spirits of the elements.
Now they had even progressed to openly opposing the council.
Aiden faintly sensed that things might have gotten somewhat out of their control.
"You stay here and keep watch; I’ll go and report the situation here to Lord August," Aiden instructed in a low voice, realizing that if he didn’t act, these people might indeed end up causing some kind of trouble.
