87: White Wizard: Destiny is in my hands

Mentor Jordan thought for a moment and decided to disclose some secrets to Gelin.

Anyway, Gelin had already signed a Guardian Contract and was a reserve for the academy's high-ranking officials, so he would know these secrets sooner or later. Letting him know earlier would also help alleviate his psychological trauma.

Mentor Jordan knew that Gelin was good at everything, except he tended to overthink!

He didn't know how his mind worked, but even the pain of ant bites could become a psychological trauma, affecting Gelin's cultivation and advancement.

Mentor Jordan was unwilling to let the psychological trauma of "Black Wizards being cruel" hinder Gelin's progress again.

Mentor Jordan believed he had a lot of experience in resolving Gelin's psychological trauma.

"Gelin..."

"Let me start from the beginning and tell you."

"Next..."

"Many of the things I'm about to say involve secrets of the academy and the Mist Coast, secrets that are not suitable for the lower-level apprentices to know."

"Gelin, do you understand the significance of this? Can you keep these secrets?"

..."Mentor Jordan..."

"I will keep these secrets; I promise to remain silent."

Gelin became excited as soon as he heard about secrets.

These were secrets jointly sealed by the upper echelons of the academy. If Gelin could learn these secrets, he would be able to understand this Wizard World better.

A long time ago, Gelin had noticed many discrepancies between his perceptions and reality, but no matter how Gelin searched, he couldn't find the reason.

It turned out that Gelin had been living in a "Truman Show" woven by the academy.

Now... as Gelin's strength and status increased, the true mysterious veil of the Wizard World began to reveal a corner of the iceberg...

Mentor Jordan narrated it like telling a story, slowly and eloquently.

Decades of teaching, one batch of students after another... made Mentor Jordan enjoy this unhurried lecturing; enjoying the students' adoring and serious gazes; enjoying the students' joy in resolving doubts and experiencing a new world...

Whenever this happened, Mentor Jordan's mood would also become pleasant...

"Gelin, the first secret I want to tell you is—"

"We White Wizards are the destiny of this era of the Wizard World."

"What is destiny?"

"Destiny is what luck favors, what the general trend dictates, and what people desire..."

"The entire Wizard World is like this, which is why on the Mist Coast, we White Wizards are the undisputed overlords, while Black Wizards can only linger in the dangerous and complex Misty Sea Islands..."

"Gelin, as everyone knows, we developed the modern Wizarding World of the Mist Coast based on the excavation of Ancient Wizards' ruins."

"According to archaeological data analysis, in the ancient era, the civilization of the Ancient Wizards was extremely developed, and in that era, Black Wizards were the chosen destiny for a time."

"It was because of the powerful combat strength of the Black Wizards, who developed many incredibly powerful war spells and war weapons, plundering countless origins from other worlds for the Wizard World."

"In the ancient era, the World Will of the Wizard World bestowed destiny upon the Black Wizards, helping them develop and grow, and the Black Wizards, through the power of war, plundered the origins of other worlds to strengthen the origin of the Wizard World."

"The two mutually benefited and grew together."

"Until the end of the ancient era, the Ancient Wizards, who had not yet reached their peak, accidentally provoked an unbeatable enemy."

"The Wizard World was severely damaged and forced to undergo self-sealing and hiding."

"From then on, the Black Wizards lost their destiny."

..."Mentor Jordan..."

"Then how did we White Wizards obtain the destiny of this era?"

Gelin asked curiously.

At the same time, he secretly muttered to himself:

This secret is truly huge, involving such grand concepts as World Origin and Destiny.

"That is naturally by virtue of our White Wizards' contributions to the Wizard World!"

Mentor Jordan said proudly, a look of pride on his face.

"Since the elemental revival ten thousand years ago, humanity has bid farewell to the long, magic-less dark age."

"The civilization of the Ancient Wizards was unearthed from various ruins, and based on this, the White Wizard civilization of the new era developed. We White Wizards once again led humanity onto the path of destiny in the Wizard World."

"During this period, countless predecessors and ancestors blazed trails in the wilderness, expanding our human living space."

"White Wizards..."

"Some refined and developed various potions to treat human diseases and enhance human resistance to harsh environments."

"Some created various sharp weapons to help humanity resist beasts and various Demonization monsters, protecting their homes."

"Some delved into various Wizard Arrays, establishing one Wizard Tower after another, lighting up one protective beacon after another for human civilization."

"Under the continuous efforts of the White Wizard predecessors, humanity once again set foot across the entire Wizard World. One ruin after another was developed, one dangerous place after another was conquered, and the scars of past battlefields were healed one by one..."

"In the world we rely on for survival, human civilization is accelerating its recovery and prosperity..."

"Benefiting from this, the origin of the Wizard World is also accelerating its recovery..."

"Gelin..."

"You tell me, with such great contributions from us White Wizards, are we qualified to be the destiny of this era?"

..."Enough, enough, enough..."

"Of course it's enough, whoever dares to say it's not enough, I'll smash him to death."

Gelin said excitedly. Mentor Jordan's voice was very infectious, and the epic secret he recounted was very stirring. Gelin was deeply inspired, wishing he could immediately transform into those ancient sages and contribute his strength to the recovery of the Wizard World.

"No, aren't I participating in history right now? I am currently experiencing this path of the Wizard World's recovery."

Gelin suddenly realized, and a profound sense of history washed over him.

"Mentor Jordan, do you know how much longer our Wizard World's path to recovery will take?"

"It's already been ten thousand years; it should be almost over, right?"

Gelin eagerly wanted to know.

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

"I'm not even a Formal Wizard, how would I know how much longer this path to recovery will take?"

Mentor Jordan said honestly.

"However..."

"The most difficult and painful part of that journey, our ancestors have already completed for us."

"From historical records, the elemental revival wave on the Mist Coast has stabilized. Basically, every hundred years or so, the elemental concentration here will have a small increase."

"This indicates that our Wizard World's path to recovery has entered the right track..."

"Continuing steadily, the future is promising..."
