Mage Manual-Chapter 1330 - 972: Stars Rise from the Earth

On the rooftop of the Canaan, Ash gazed at the ’red hole’ in the starry sky, which was trying to heal. The blockade inside and outside the Ruby Mountain was not lifted, and the last trace of wishful thinking in his heart vanished.

Ash couldn’t miss this opportunity, because the Sword Witches had launched their plan. Whether they executed it smoothly or were forced into it, it meant they had officially broken with the Dazzling Star, and he had to rush back immediately to join them!

But at this critical moment, Ash resolutely opened the "Operators Seek" in the "Aurora’s Mage Manual," and immediately conducted ten consecutive searches!

During the third Angel Hunt, he had hunted many mages and snatched a number of Technique Spirits. Those unwanted Technique Spirits were turned into points through in-app purchases and exchanged for Source Crystals just in case he needed them. He originally planned to draw when a "Limited-Time Event" appeared, but since he couldn’t wait, he simply drew from the permanent pool!

Anything would do, as long as it could increase his success rate even slightly!

"Experience Potion!"

"Technique Spirit Joy Potion!"

"Pure Spirit Light Special Drink!"

"Ruby Essence!"

"Physical Strength Potion!"

Ash’s gaze swept over the white and purple lights, focusing on the final golden light—the "Personal Mirror of the Silver Lamp of the Eternal Night"!

"Personal Mirror of the Silver Lamp of the Eternal Night": A personal mirror taken off the Illusion Mirror Dragon by the Silver Lamp of the Eternal Night, witnessing the transformation process of the Silver Lamp of the Eternal Night, possessing incredible power, capable of seeing the light of the Silver Lamp of the Eternal Night.

Silver Lamp of the Eternal Night?

Ash paused slightly, took it from the interface, and a small silver mirror appeared in his palm. The mirror surface reflected no image, only darkness deep within, but a faint silver light could be seen.

This item had no function, more like a sarcastic prize deliberately revealing scars. But Ash, as if receiving great encouragement, put the personal mirror in his bosom, and the last trace of unease in his heart vanished, leaving only pure determination.

Ash stretched out his fist, bumping fists with Filly beside him. Filly immediately entered a demonization state, unfolding four Demon Wings, and Ash also unfolded four Void Wings proudly among the stars.

If disregarding other factors, Ash could have summoned the Heavenly Kingdom of Souls early on. After all, after Technique Spirit Transformation, the Mysterious Chains would no longer affect him, and naturally wouldn’t restrict the Heavenly Kingdom of Souls. Even if it couldn’t instantly fill the Star Cluster, it wouldn’t matter.

But the problem was he couldn’t disregard other factors, especially since all the other demons in the Star Cluster, except for Filly, would never allow the Source Angel to escape this cage!

If they discovered someone trying to aid the Source Angel’s jailbreak, Ash believed they would be even more brutal than the prison guards at Shattered Lake Prison.

Don’t forget, the Heavenly Kingdom of Souls, though a kingdom, is also Ash’s soul!

Completely exposing his soul would be like placing his neck on the chopping block. Any reaction time given to the other demons would allow them to heartily wound Ash’s soul, stopping his attempt to tear open the Star Cluster’s cage!

Therefore, it must be fast—so fast that the kingdom can be summoned within a second to shatter the starry dome, so fast that even if the demons reacted, they wouldn’t have time to demonize!

Ash closed his eyes, operating the Miracle Technique taught by Vishi, immediately sensing countless distant beacon marks. As his consciousness swept over each beacon, he recalled the sights of that city, reminiscing the foolish things they did in that city.

In an instant, he was unified with all over the stars, or rather, he had included the stars into his world!

"Silver Lamp, this time it’s my turn to become the torch."

Ash opened his eyes, his thoughts spanning the stars north to south, his soul crossing the land east to west!

Fish of the Ocean!

Bull of the Land!

Mountain on the Bull’s Back!

Chaotic Hell!

Vast Earth!

Orderly Heaven!

The six-layered Heavenly Kingdom of Souls unfolded to its extreme in an instant, transcending everything, coloring all existence!

Countless people looked up, dazedly watching as the invisible kingdom overlapped with reality. Their gaze passed through the phantom of the kingdom, seeing the topmost orderly heaven pressed against the starry dome, giving them a peculiar feeling—

This narrow world simply could not contain such an immense soul.

The dome covering the Star Cluster met with an unprecedented impact!

...

...

Kingdom of Stars.

Everyone stared intently at the dome area struck by the firelight; they heard the sound of shattering glass, they saw crystal-like fragments falling from the dome, then...

The dome remained silent. The stars continued to shine.

The area bombarded by the full efforts of the Four Pillars God Sect seemed undamaged, the dome covering the Starry Land for millions of years successfully defending its unassailable glory.

"Ha..."

Commander of the Star Bomb Unit, Elyse, exhaled a long breath and laughed heartily, "Hahaha! So this is the result of all your anti-starry sky organizations’ painstaking efforts, this is the futility of the rebels!"

"Dust cannot compare to mountains; fireflies cannot compete with the stars!"

"But this fleeting firework show is quite fitting as your final performance, Dedarose." She laughed, "Beneath the everlasting stars, no matter how you struggle to shine, you cannot leave any color on this starry sky. As fireworks failing and becoming the laughter of all, that is your greatest achievement."

"It’s still not too late to pray for forgiveness." Facing two Legendary Mages, Elyse showed no fear, "The Magic Master of the Dazzling Star will welcome any lost soul returning home."

Yet, the Red-haired Swordswoman just gazed up at the dome, furrowing her brows, "Isn’t it enough yet?"

"It should have broken through the dome just now, but for some reason it’s not showing any effect," the Black and White Witch said, "Gospel is investigating the reason."

"Looks like we’ll just have to try again," Sonia said coldly.

"Yes," Diya nodded calmly, "I’ll summon a team from the Holy Domain through the Gospel."

Neither hysterical nor disheartened, even though they were staking their lives on an all-or-nothing gamble, Alexis could not see the look of failure that ought to be there.

On the contrary, they seemed to discuss calmly how to score better in the next exam, as if they had merely failed a test.

But you have already declared war on the Kingdom of Stars!

Your conspiracies have all collapsed! 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Why do you not give up? Why do you still plan to make a comeback!?

Yet before Alexis could crush their hopes, Dedarose, who was slumped on the ground, suddenly said, "You’re too late. Our side has launched the plan, so the Star Magic Master will surely accelerate the pace. Within at most three days, or even by today, the final Angel Hunt that will decide the era’s change will begin."

Yes, exactly like that, use your professional qualities to show these two young girls what it means to overreach!

"Dedarose, our partnership is over," Sonia said quietly. "You deceived us. We provided you with all assistance, but you and the Gods of Four Pillars repaid us with a failed fireworks display. Our next actions do not concern you anymore."

"I am disappointed too, Dedarose," Diya said. "You let us down."

"Sonia, Diya, don’t be angry," Dedarose laughed. "Who said we failed?"

Everyone was stunned and looked up at the Heavenly Curtain.

Alexis sneered, "It’s just posturing. You’ve played all your cards. Do you think there will be a miracle?"

"You may not believe me, but you cannot doubt the Decree of the Gods of Four Pillars," Dedarose lifted her chin proudly, "Nor can you dismiss the Final Observer’s capabilities!"

"The false starry sky shall be shattered, the eternal power will inevitably fall; this is the Law of the End!"

Boom!

As soon as Dedarose finished her sentence, an unprecedented celestial quake resonated through the stars, making everyone dizzy as if the world was turning upside-down!

When they looked up again, it was no longer the starry night sky that greeted their eyes, but another world!

A world with a developed civilization, cities sprawling across the land, nurturing billions of beings!

Between these two worlds lay the colossal six-layered Heavenly Kingdom of Souls, from the Deep Sea to Heaven!

When the beings of the Star Cluster looked up, the countless beings from the other world looked back. Even though it was a momentary exchange of glances, it stirred an unsettling sensation in everyone’s souls.

The phenomenon came as quickly as it vanished and in the next second everything returned to normal; the other world disappeared, the Heavenly Kingdom of Souls vanished, and the starry night returned.

But no one was joyful, not even Alexis, whose face showed fear.

For everyone heard a sound of glass shattering from beyond the Heavenly Curtain.

Crack, crack, crack.

Crack!

Suddenly, a colorful night fragment fell, like glass, like a rainbow. It was undoubtedly a rare mage treasure, yet everyone was staring blankly at the Heavenly Curtain, ignoring the falling night fragment.

The Heavenly Curtain showed a crack.

A ray of dazzling sunlight shone through the crack, the sun’s blessing illuminating this land once again after more than two thousand years.

"Outside, it’s actually daytime?" Sonia whispered softly.

She was seeing real sunlight for the first time as well.

Diya suddenly realized: "So the Heavenly Curtain has two layers. We’ve only pierced the first layer, and we have to pierce the second layer to shatter the stars. In this way, the celestial dome of stars must also come to an end—"

"Not so easily!"

Alexis shouted loudly, "So what if the sky is broken? Do you think that making a hole can achieve anything? You may have pierced the Heavenly Curtain, but can the Church and the Throne Hall not repair it?"

As Alexis spoke, the crack in the Heavenly Curtain gradually shrank, and upon seeing this, she became even more encouraged, "The destiny belongs to the Star Cluster! This time, do you have any means left to resist the tide of history!?"

"Probably not," Dedarose shook her head, "The Observatory can probably only make one more move... The play of the Four Pillars God Sect has ended."

Alexis felt a sense of relief and exasperation, "Finally exhausted, are you?"

"But the play of the Kingdom of Stars has only just begun," Dedarose pointed eastward, "It has arrived."

A deep blue flame rose from the ground, charging towards the Heavenly Curtain.

Alexis was taken aback, "Your accomplice?"

"No, just a seed the Four Pillars God Sect left behind, nurtured with false starlight and soul chains, and what it produced was a rebellious soul. In any case, it’s just delivering a Miracle Technique. There’s no better deal than this," Dedarose laughed, "You should know, the anti-starry sky organization was never only the Four Pillars God Sect."

"Everyone is waiting, waiting for a chance for the light to pierce the stars," said the Chaos Songstress. "Waiting for a chance for the light to pierce their souls."

Zoom!

Alexis turned her head and saw an orange-red flame ascending from the horizon. As she turned to look, bright white, blood red, violet red, dark green, fireworks of different colors and magic techniques rose one after another from the horizon, lighting up almost the entire night!

"We’ve torn apart not only the Heavenly Curtain but also the chains within the hearts of mages," Dedarose sneered, "The Gods of Four Pillars have a message for the Star Magic Master—"

"’You dare try to forcibly brainwash these untamable mages, you should have known this day of backlash would come.’"

"This is Dedarose’s final performance," the Chaos Songstress rose slowly, spread her hands, and asked with a charming smile, "Is it impressive?"

Behind the most beautiful woman under the starry sky, countless stars rose from the earth, shooting towards the Heavenly Curtain!
