Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 1236 - 499: Will Lighthouse (Part 3)

Uther sat down in a comfortable chair and gestured for Ron to sit opposite:

"But what I want to ask is, have you truly understood the deep will behind each astrological sign?"

Ron pondered for a moment:

"I know some basic symbols, like the Hermit Star represents solitude and introspection, the Scholar Star represents curiosity and exploration..."

"Not deep enough."

Uther shook his head slightly, pointing to the star map on the dome:

"Astrology is not a simple system of symbols, Ron.

Each star, each constellation is an embodiment of cosmic will.

When we observe astrology, we are actually conversing with these ancient wills."

The Void Remains of the old professor began to emit a faint silver glow, resonating with the Starry Sky:

"Let’s start with the star you have already formed a connection with.

’Hermit Star’ — it represents not just solitude, but the ’will to escape reality’.

This is a self-preservation instinct, where wise life forms instinctively choose to return inward when the external environment is too complex or dangerous."

The Hermit Star in the Starry Sky began to flicker, as if responding to this interpretation.

"But escape itself is neutral — it can be a display of cowardice or strategic wisdom.

The key lies in the purpose of escape: is it to hide forever, or to accumulate strength and then set off again."

Uther continued to explain:

"’Scholar Star’ represents the ’desire to explore the truth’ — this is a more proactive will.

It drives wise life forms to continually push beyond known boundaries, even at the cost of pain and danger.

But this desire also holds danger: excessive curiosity might lead to knowledge that should not be known."

"And the ’Observer Star’ embodies the ’attitude of indifferent observation’."

The old professor’s tone became more profound:

"This is a transcendent will that neither participates nor intervenes, merely silently records and observes.

This attitude can maintain objectivity but may also miss the best opportunity for action."

He raised his head, gazing at the slowly rotating star map on the dome:

"In your existing knowledge system, you might think these stars are just symbols?

No, Ron. They are real wills, ancient consciousness spanning countless light years."

This statement sent a shock through Ron’s heart.

"Every star is a ’will anchor’ left by a once transcendent existence."

Uther’s voice deepened:

"When the consciousness of a being becomes powerful enough to influence reality itself, it can project part of its will into the stars, forming an eternal ’Will Lighthouse’."

The Hermit Star on the dome suddenly flickered, seemingly responding to this discussion.

"The true master of the Hermit Star is the ’Reclusive Sage’ Aselna of the First Era.

When faced with an unsolvable cosmic crisis, he chose to project his consciousness deep into the stars, becoming a guide for all those lost in later generations."

"Whenever any wise creature faces difficulties and wishes to escape reality, they will instinctively be affected by the Hermit Star, gaining the inspiration to ’seek answers within’."

This explanation gave Ron a new understanding of the astrological system.

It turns out to be not a simple divination tool but a legacy of wisdom from ancient sages.

"The master of the Scholar Star is the ’King of Knowledge’ Seleste of the Second Era.

He forever anchored his desire for truth in that star, becoming a spiritual Master for all explorers."

Uther continued to narrate:

"This is why you can obtain accurate predictions through astrology."

The old professor’s explanation made everything clear:

"You are not communicating with cold celestial bodies, but directly dialoguing with ancient sage wisdom."

Ron began to understand the value of this deep interpretation.

Each astrological sign is not a simple symbol but represents the will tendencies wise life forms may adopt when facing the cosmos.

"Then what about more complex constellations like the ’Eye of Truth’?"

"An excellent question."

Uther nodded approvingly:

"The ’Eye of Truth’ represents the ’impulse to perceive the essence’.

Its master is ’Omniscient’ Metatron, the first to comprehend the truth that ’knowledge is power’.

The ’Eye of Truth’ possesses an insatiable desire to pierce through the haze and see the true nature of things.

This impulse is the driving force behind all scholars and diviners, but also one of the most dangerous impulses."

"Because some truths are unbearable for wise life forms. When you gaze into the Abyss, the Abyss also gazes into you."

The Eye of Truth constellation in the Starry Sky began to glow—a light both sacred and unsettling.

The ’Wheel of Destiny’ represents the ’wisdom of accepting cycles’, belonging to ’Lady Fortuna’, a pinnacle of ancient Astrology."

The old professor continued this lesson in starry philosophy:

"It tells us that everything operates in cycles—rise and fall, life and death, gain and loss.

Wise individuals should learn to remain humble at the peak and hopeful in the trough.

This is not fatalism but a profound understanding of time and transformation."

Over the next few hours, Uther elaborated on more deep meanings of astrological signs:

"The ’Gate of Chaos’ represents the ’courage to embrace change’—not fearing the unknown but feeling excited."

The ’Balance Gate’ symbolizes the ’will to seek harmony’—finding balance in conflict and moderation in extremes."

The ’Oblivion Cluster’ embodies the ’cycle of endings and rebirths’—destruction is not the goal but a path to renewal."

The ’Lead-Iron Cluster’ represents ’unyielding determination’—even in the darkest moment, never giving up, a will as hard as metal."

The ’Throne of Blood’ symbolizes ’life energy and passion’—containing both the impulse to create and the frenzy of destruction."

The ’Wandering Companions’ represent ’the wisdom of flexible adaptation’—not stubbornly adhering to a set route, but adapting strategies according to environmental changes."

By the end of this deep astrology lesson, Ron felt he had gained a new understanding of the Starry Sky.

These were no longer indifferent celestial bodies but living, willful existences.

With their light, they convey ancient wisdom and warnings to wise life in the universe.

When all the major astrological signs were introduced, Uther turned back to Ron:

"Now you understand, right? The essence of star divination is to communicate with the wisdom of ancient sages."

"Your Paradox Dice resonates with these stars, indicating that your consciousness has reached a sufficiently high level."

"This is also why, at higher levels of existence, you are seen differently."

Deep reflection appeared in Uther’s eyes:

"To Them, you have the potential to become the next being to leave an eternal will in the Starry Sky."

This possibility left Ron both excited and in awe.

To become an existence like the ancient sages, turning one’s wisdom into a guiding beacon for later generations—what an exalted achievement.

But at the same time, he realized what kind of responsibility and price this entailed.

The atmosphere in the chamber thickened because of these ancient secrets.

Uther observed the changes in Ron’s expression, knowing that the first part of the inspiration had reached its intended effect.

The young man needed time to digest this information, to understand his position in the cosmic panorama.

"That’s all for today."

The old professor slowly stood up:

"In a few days, we’ll talk about more practical topics.

About the true meaning of the wizard’s path and the world you are about to enter."

As the two exited the chamber, the stars on the dome continued to rotate slowly.

They witnessed the growth of generation after generation of wizards, also awaiting the next existence that could stand alongside them.
