Eight years had passed.
Nora Calendar 1970, Blood Battle 1858.
The Arcanist known as Arcane Star Vicken ascended to the rank of sixth-circle, establishing himself as a pillar of the Arcane Academy for more than three centuries. He assumed leadership from the previous dean and officially directed the academy, delivering remarkable achievements in restructuring sects and enhancing arcana.
Following that, Vicken earned a spot on the Star List, emerging as one of the brilliant supernovae.
During that very year.
Edward, the Platinum Fist endowed with Child of Chaos talent, advanced to a six-circle body-refining wizard, marking him as the successor to Gandaph in mastering the 'Chaos Body Refining Technique' up to the sixth realm of environments. True to his word, Gandaph welcomed Edward as his second apprentice.
In addition, he presented Edward with a body-refining artifact of Bright Moon grade as a token from his master.
Six months afterward.
The Halo Knight progressed to level 7, every one of the 18 Twilight Cavalry members attained level 7, and simultaneously, the mythical bloodlines of the Dusk Holy Temple expanded to 24 varieties!
Three years subsequently.
The Fire Dragon Knight's firstborn, the Giant Spirit God Witch, elevated to a seventh-level knight and concurrently functioned as a seventh-circle body-refining wizard. His second son, the Wind and Fire Dragon Witch, likewise achieved substantial strides in cultivation.
Their sire, the Fire Dragon Knight, had already attained the Peak of Level 8 and intended to stabilize there for an extended period prior to gathering ingredients for Super Myth advancement.
Two years on.
Having been absent from the ancient tower for more than one hundred fifty years, the Flame Wolf Saint came back from his interplanar journeys. In delving into primordial ruins, he claimed the inheritance of an ancient Grand Wizard from the Burning Faction, obtained a sacred fire element elixir, and secured a Sun-level Refining Artifact.
Not long thereafter, the Flame Wolf Saint shattered through to level 9, emerging as the inaugural Great Rune Master within the caster system's annals.
Though he was no wizard, his lineage matched that of humans, classifying him as one. The congress promptly conferred the title [Flame Wolf Walker] on the Flame Wolf Saint, incorporating him into the ranks of Grand Wizards.
This elevated the count of Grand Wizards to 200!
The Level 9 experts within the Nora Wan Clan totaled 258.
In general, wizards alongside Humans maintained an overwhelming supremacy, their numbers far surpassing the collective strength of the top ten clans.
This explains the congress's bold expansion efforts.
Given the rapid evolution of wizard civilization, no isolated Nora Wan Clan could match its pace; unity alone allows them to challenge it effectively.
Moreover, wizard civilization boasts potent assimilation traits; any society or species coexisting with Humans over ten millennia will merge into their fold.
Until those three formidable barriers are toppled, inter-clan tensions will remain limited to small skirmishes, rendering major wars improbable. The core conflict stays unaltered in this era.
Regarding the principal strife ahead, it hinges on the ingenuity of posterity. For the present Nora congress, surmounting the Great Tribulation stands as the utmost priority!

Levi accessed his proficiency interface.
Levi ——————
Chaos Seal: Level 1 (1/1000), Special Effect: Blood Inheritance.
...
The original eight seals derived from the four prominent families had disappeared, fully comprehended by Levi and transformed into this singular ability.
[Chaos Seal], an exclusive incantation reservable only for Children of Chaos; it lacks circle classifications and resembles a cultivation method or esoteric art more than a conventional spell.
Currently, it encompasses nine levels altogether.
When refined to utmost proficiency, its might rivals that of ninth-circle incantations.
Beyond mere amalgamation of seals, the Chaos Seal encapsulates Levi’s insights into Chaos Magic, rendering it a comprehensive seal art.
Practitioners of this seal, through persistent effort and keen insight, could glimpse the diverse arcane knowledge Levi has woven within.
Differing from standard spells,
the Chaos Seal features the Blood Inheritance special effect, permitting transmission via bloodlines, similar to knight lineages. For instance, should Levi perfect the Chaos Seal, his offspring—even absent wizard aptitude—could innately access portions of the seal’s power.
Nevertheless, without Child of Chaos talent, inheritors cannot advance the seal further, capping at Level 1 proficiency.
Individuals possessing Child of Chaos talent may cultivate it directly, bypassing inheritance.
However, wizards devoid of Child of Chaos talent are barred from cultivating the Chaos Seal and cannot acquire it through bloodline.
It demands either 'Child of Chaos' endowment or utter lack thereof.
Naturally, bearers of alternative talents have no need for the Chaos Seal. Levi’s investigations primarily aim to aid Children of Chaos and ordinary mortals without talents.
The Chaos Seal’s [Blood Inheritance] diverges from bloodlines by not diluting or diminishing across generations.
Instead, successive generations can infuse their realizations and perceptions into the seal, passing them onward.
Through layered accretions, the Chaos Seal shall burgeon in potency and wholeness, inching ever closer to elusive ultimate truths!
To encapsulate.
This represents a form of 'cloud magic' transmissible via bloodline, collaborative, and modifiable. Its distinction rests in amassing ancestral wisdom across eras. Such is the core of [Blood Inheritance].
It eschews stagnation; rather, it bridges yesteryears to tomorrows!
This marks Levi’s paramount breakthrough in his wizardly odyssey thus far, forged by his diligence atop the bedrock of the four families’ seals.
Admittedly, with subtle aid from the panel.
There exists no pinnacle, merely escalation!
Every wizard lineage harbors its proprietary 'cloud magic,' with a myriad families yielding a myriad 'Chaos Seals.'
'This Chaos Seal holds potential to forge an independent caster vocation beneath the wizard umbrella. A bloodline inheritor in this path merits the designation [Magician], termed...[Chaos Mage].'
