Chapter 572: Chapter 500: Magic Net System, Creating a Magic Civilization with a Wizard for Everyone!_2

Clearly, the key element inside was the magic net, serving as a terminal that pooled computing power.

This was the only piece of information Lynn kept hidden, and no one raised any objections to this.

After all, the newly-developed spells were considered the personal wealth of wizards. Unless one was willing to disclose their principles voluntarily, no one had the right to demand their sharing.

“Can this really work?” Harrov frowned involuntarily. In the divine arts system of Eira, believers could only serve as providers of computing power, and although priests and bishops could also cast divine arts through their connection with the gods, they were few in number, hence it was a strategy of the few being supported by the many.

Lynn, however, wanted to make each person connected to the magic net a spellcaster. If everyone were to draw computing power to cast spells, wouldn’t that create chaos?

“The magic net itself possesses immense computing power, a fruit of the consciousness studies by me and my colleagues from the Secret Magic Society. Additionally, we could establish relevant rules, such as limiting the number of spells cast per day…” Lynn explained calmly, having considered this issue already.

Ordinarily, with the assistance of the magic net, these ‘wizards’ performed their spellcasting, and when necessary, he could draw from these people’s computing power to augment his own, benefiting both parties…

“Wouldn’t there be issues with a toxin of faith?” Rafael asked hesitantly.

“They don’t need to believe in anyone, where would the toxin of faith come from?” Alade countered before Lynn could speak.

Lynn smiled and did not respond. While indeed there was no trouble with faith, the aggregation of so many people’s thoughts and distractions could overwhelm even a legendary wizard, which underscored the significance of an intelligent brain.

“Since this imitates the divine arts system, could it be possible to bestow magic directly like the church’s priests through some means?” Tic suddenly thought.

The council members present were also looking forward to Lynn’s response with great anticipation.

Constructing a spell slot was no easy task. If feasible, wouldn’t it mean they could learn any magic effortlessly?

“That’s possible, but what we need aren’t cannon fodder casting low-level spells.” Lynn shrugged his shoulders. What he truly wanted to cultivate were magical researchers and advanced workers in cutting-edge fields!

Constructing spell slots was an excellent method to train one’s spiritual power and a necessary step for verifying the correctness of one’s own scholarly theories, which could not be skipped.

One after another, the council members raised their questions. Lynn’s proposed magic net system completely upended everyone’s understanding, causing many to feel somewhat unable to accept it.

The voices of opposition and support were equally split.

Some people thought this was a good method to enhance the overall strength of the council and increase the number of wizards, while others questioned its safety, arguing that aggregating so much computing power from many individuals could lead to some unforeseen risks…

Others were completely against it, rejecting the implementation of the magic net and claiming that those who relied on external forces to cast spells were not truly wizards at all but were desecrating magic!

The voices of opposition were more numerous than Lynn had expected, and the reason was clear to him; such a promotion system infringed upon the interests of existing wizards.

In the past, only the favored children of heaven became official wizards, even the apprentices were superior individuals as talent determined everything. Now, even ordinary people without magical talent could potentially become wizards after diligent study, creating an inevitable sense of imbalance.

Lynn naturally had a solution and immediately began to smile. “In fact, this magic net system benefits not just ordinary folks but also serves a significant purpose for wizards.”

“Council member Gordon, if I remember correctly, you have been stuck in the realm of a third-ring wizard for over a decade, haven’t you?” Lynn looked at the most vehement of the opposing members and said tauntingly. “It seems to me, the likelihood of you breaking through to the realm of a great wizard on your own is almost nil.”

Upon hearing this, the wizard named Gordon’s face darkened instantly, yet he couldn’t refute the statement, as he was very much aware of this fact himself.

Three years ago, he had exhausted his wealth on a ceremony to advance to the realm of a great wizard and failed, barely clinging to his life, resulting in a lasting psychological shadow.

Lynn’s remark was not merely for ridicule; he quickly began to explain another benefit of the magic net.

Like Gordon, who had reached the limit of a third-tier wizard, could temporarily break through his current realm and experience a higher level of power with the aid of the Magic Net, significantly increasing his chances of advancement.

The main reason for his rapid advancement was definitely the enhancement by the computing power of the smart-brain!

“Are you sure, Speaker Lynn?” Tic excitedly stood up from his seat.

Like Tic, many astonished council members were numerous, and even Gordon, who had just been mocked, could no longer care about those minor quarrels; his eyes reddened as he stared intently at Lynn, considering how many wizards were trapped in the Great Wizard Realm without advancement!

If reaching full wizard status is a hurdle, then becoming a Great Wizard is another barrier. Now, the number of wizards in the council had surpassed twenty thousand, but there were not even a hundred Great Wizards!

“I am very sure,” Lynn nodded, then threw cold water on everyone’s enthusiasm. “However, the Magic Net can only let you temporarily feel the realm of a fourth-tier wizard, and not directly promote you.”

“That’s already enough!” Tic asserted firmly.

The rest of the council members were also extremely excited, firmly believing that they were only a small step away from becoming a Great Wizard, and that the Magic Net could bridge that gap for them!

Lynn just smiled at this notion; it was like winning the lottery. After increasing the odds of winning, everyone thought they would be the lucky one!

The redemption of interests evidently worked better than any words!

After Lynn explained another use of the Magic Net, the council members who had initially opposed the mass production of wizards plan immediately underwent a complete turnaround in attitude,

The three speakers had not participated in the earlier discussion, but had watched Lynn’s strategic plan very seriously.

His plan was beneficial for wizards at almost every level; apprentices could become official wizards directly with the help of the Magic Net’s computing power, and third-tier wizards could increase their chances of advancing to Great Wizard status.

The Great Wizards, with the help of the Magic Net’s computing power boost, would find it easier to advance to the legendary level of shaping magic bodies and magic energy in the future.

“Apart from unknown risks, I can see no reason to refuse it,” Harrov was the first to voice his opinion, although this method was a replication of the Divine Arts System, it was much gentler in application.

“I personally agree with the plan. If magic, as well as the Moon God, truly originates from the other side of the Space-Time Gate, it will pose a significant threat,” Aurora said worriedly.

As Lynn had stated, they needed the capacity to continuously ‘produce’ a large number of wizards in order to handle the increasingly complex situations ahead.

“I think we can start with some preliminary trials and consider widespread implementation if there are no major problems,” Vittorio said cautiously, yet he too agreed.

With the stance of the three speakers and the strong support of nearly ninety-five percent of the council members, the implementation of the Magic Net plan was unsurprisingly approved.

A slight smile curled at the corners of Lynn’s mouth.

Considering the empire had a total population of twenty million, if one-twentieth were of eligible age and passed the assessments to join the system, that would be one million users of the Magic Net!

Such immense computational power might allow his spiritual power to reach a whole new level.

Of course, this was a plan for the next three to five years. The installation of magic power stations and the spread of knowledge all required a lot of time.

In the short term, what could be achieved was the integration of the computing power of the twenty-thousand wizards within the empire.

By then, with Harro possessing divinity, and him controlling the smart-brain and Magic Net, a battle was indeed possible!
