Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 1212 - 492: Apocalypse’s Blessing (Part 3)

It was a glorious period when the Wizard Civilization reached the pinnacle of technology.

Countless majestic cities floated in the sky, each a perfect blend of art and magic.

These cities were living organisms, able to automatically adjust their structures and functions according to the residents’ needs.

Magic routes connected different cities like rainbows, allowing ordinary people to travel freely among the clouds.

In that era, distance was no longer an obstacle, and anyone could travel across the entire continent in a day.

The most eye-opening aspect for him was the "Knowledge Sharing Network" spread everywhere.

From birth, everyone was connected to this vast consciousness network, able to instantly gain the wisdom accumulated by the entire civilization.

Problems that had plagued humanity for thousands of years—disease, hunger, ignorance—were thoroughly resolved through the power of the network.

Farmers could make crops mature in a day through the "Growth Promotion Array";

Craftsmen could master their ancestral skills using the "Skill Inheritance Module";

Scholars could access all previous research results in the network.

It was a true utopia where everyone lived in a near-perfect state.

But Ron quickly saw the deadly flaws hidden behind this perfection.

Over-reliance on the knowledge network caused wizards to gradually lose their ability to think independently.

Why strive to explore the unknown when all answers could be obtained from the network?

Why suffer the pain of failure when the network could provide the most optimized solutions?

Individual creativity began to shrink, and the spirit of exploration gradually disappeared.

The entire civilization, although reaching unprecedented technological heights, fell into stagnation on a spiritual level.

More terrifyingly, the network’s openness allowed some extremely dangerous knowledge to spread.

Polluting information from high-dimensional beings spread in the consciousness network like a virus.

The thoughts of those exposed to it would be forcibly distorted, and even entire personalities would undergo metamorphosis.

Initially, there were only scattered cases, but as the network became deeply pervasive, the scope of pollution began to expand exponentially.

Ron witnessed the apocalyptic scene of civilization’s end:

Countless wizards lost their sanity at the same time, embarking on various mad experiments and rituals.

They attempted to "improve" reality itself, trying to create a perfect world beyond the physical laws.

The result was a disastrous chain reaction.

Space began to tear, time became disordered, and the fundamental structure of reality teetered in the face of mad experiments.

Those beautiful cities floating in the sky fell like autumn leaves.

The knowledge network collapsed overnight, leaving disconnected people helpless like marionettes with their strings cut.

The Golden Era ended thus, with the Wizard Civilization falling from its peak to near extinction.

"So that’s how it is..."

In the torrent of history, Ron gained some insight:

"Excessive perfection is also a danger.

When a civilization loses the possibility for diversity and change, it is eliminated by the laws of the cosmos."

This realization gave him new thoughts on the current path of the Wizard Civilization’s development.

Cassandra’s conquest route, although controversial, at least maintained the vitality and aggressiveness of civilization.

Compared to the technological stagnation of the Second Era, perhaps retaining a certain degree of "imperfection" is a healthier choice.

The scene gradually faded, and the career transition ceremony entered its final stage.

[Historian career change completed]

[Basic Attributes Enhanced:

Spiritual Power 6.15→6.35 (+0.2)

Magic Power 6.2→6.4 (+0.2)

Constitution 5.0→5.1 (+0.1)]

[Special Bonuses:

1. Time Texture Perception: Can perceive the "time texture" of events, observing historical events more accurately.

2. Historical Anchoring: During historical deep dive, possesses stronger self-protection ability, less likely to be swept away by the torrent of history.

3. True Insight: Can see through most illusions and forged historical records.

4. Deep Dive: During historical deep dive, has the opportunity to gain a deeper perspective and hidden information.]

[Professional Linkage Bonuses:

1. Can optimize personal cultivation paths by tracing the cultivation journeys of past wizards.

2. Occasionally able to glimpse the original form of spells during casting, with deeper understanding of the essence of magic.

3. May "recall" ancient craftsmanship during creation, with increased success rates and product quality under certain conditions.

4. Able to perceive historical information contained within bloodlines, possessing extra insight during bloodline analysis.]

Once all the power changes stabilized, Ron felt a clarity in his mind.

And just as he was immersed in this new perception, a grander power suddenly descended.

It was a blessing from infinite heights, pure and powerful like starlight.

[Detected resonance with the Four Cornerstones...]

[The Blessing of "Apocalypse" has arrived]

Ron instantly understood; this was the second Cornerstone Favor following the "Creator’s Blessing."

[Blessing of Apocalypse:

1. During astrological observation, able to perceive clear time nodes, greatly enhancing the accuracy of predictions.

2. Has stronger resistance to time-related supernatural phenomena, including time manipulation, aging curses, etc.

3. Can cross-reference information between celestial phenomena and history, mutually verifying the authenticity of both dimensions.]

The value of these three abilities far surpasses ordinary professional skills.

Especially the last one, it granted Ron stronger information acquisition capability.

When celestial phenomena and history point to the same conclusion, the credibility of that conclusion approaches the truth infinitely.
