The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　If a prophet is invited to the "Night of Prophecy," it is equivalent to being recognized by the Star Tower.

　Therefore, there will always be charlatans who try every means to sneak in and leave a mark on the "Book of Prophecy," or simply to take a staged photo, which can greatly increase their value.

　Although imposters are always exposed at the gatherings of prophets, the greedy, like wolves and tigers, are willing to risk their disgrace to infiltrate them.

　"Night of Prophecy" is precisely such a provincial capital.

　However, Star Tower, as the organizer, does not often host "Night of Prophecy".

　The last recorded "night of prophecy" was probably more than a decade ago.

　Considering that prophets have to pay a price when they perform actual divination, it's indeed difficult to hold a (Night of Prophecy) unless absolutely necessary.

　However, this also means that when the Star Tower holds the "Night of Prophecy", it will be time to make it necessary!

　Therefore, this matter must be taken seriously from any perspective!

　After sending Fite Steinbeck away, Dark immediately sent Professor Mitia a notification to meet at the Hidden Place Laboratory. After sitting there for a while, he went behind his desk, took out paper and pen from the drawer, and wrote down several rules of the "Star Summoning Spell".

　His conversation with Fate Steinbeck was certainly no joke. The "Star Summoning Spell" developed by the "Sage of the Stars" did indeed have its unique aspects. Although it couldn't be completely imitated because his magical spirits lacked the ability to construct "star trails," careful study would surely yield some valuable insights.

　These valuable experiences, if accumulated continuously, will one day form the foundation for him to create his own unique summoning techniques.

　The basic rules of "Star Summoning" are as follows: 1. A "Star Orbit" needs to be set up.

　2. You need to summon the "Star Core" to release the "Star Chain" and "Star Orbit" links to form a dial.

　3. If there is no "star core", a layer of "star track" can be converted into a "star core".

　4. To summon a second-tier magical spirit, at least one layer of "Star Trail" is required, and at least one first-tier magical spirit must exist within the "Star Trail".

　5. To summon a third-tier magical spirit, at least three layers of "Star Trails" are required, and at least one second-tier magical spirit must exist within the "Star Trails".

　6. To summon a fourth-tier magical spirit, you need at least twelve layers of "Star Tracks" and at least one third-tier magical spirit within those "Star Tracks".

　7. You can only perform one Star Summoning every thirty seconds.

　8. Except for special magical spirits, the first tier of star magical spirits can only set up one layer of star orbits, the second tier can set up two layers, the third tier can set up nine layers, and the fourth tier can set up twenty-four layers.

　The 9 Star Summoning Technique can only be used to summon "Star Magic Spirits".

　This shows that the "Star Summoning Spell" also has rules and restrictions.

　However, as a special summoning spell that can be used in parallel with other summoning spells, its advantages are still very significant.

　In particular, if it is not used in magical duels but in actual combat, it will become a super starter for quickly summoning high-star magical spirits.

　As for the conditions that limit the use of "Star Magic Spirit"... this does indeed narrow down its application scope.

　All the magical spirits that Fate Steinbeck used in that duel were "Star Magical Spirits".

　Furthermore, the first ultimate move of each "Star Magic Spirit" is related to "Star Trail".

　This makes it a perfect match for "Star Summoning".

　Dark certainly doesn't have that type of magical spirit.

　However, he discovered during the duel that after "Poison Baby" evolved into "Luna", it could perfectly match "Star Orbit" and gain various bonuses from "Star Orbit" to "Star Magic Spirit".

　Based on this, among the magical spirits created by Dark, such as "Moon God Beast" and "Flame Lion Beast" should also belong to the category of "Star Magical Spirits".

　Although they do not have "star trails", in theory they should all be able to be summoned using "Star Summoning Spell".

　However, the "Star Summoning Technique" is a secret technique, and Dark could not possibly receive it from Fate Steinbeck before becoming a disciple of the "Sage of the Stars".

　In any case, the "Sage of the Stars'" summoning spell did indeed broaden his horizons.

　If it happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, and he happens to be attending the "Night of Prophecy" at the Star Tower, he might have a chance to consult the "Sage of the Stars".

　Half past ten.

　Dark arrived at the hidden laboratory behind the teachers' dormitory.

　Professor Mitis Bartholomew was already waiting there. Upon seeing him arrive, she stood up and said, "What is it that you need me to come here for, Professor? I'm very busy."

　Darke then cut to the chase: "Professor Midia, do you know about the 'Night of Prophecy'?"

　Professor Mitis asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly think of 'Night of Prophecy'?"

　Dark was somewhat surprised: "Didn't you know that the Star Tower would be hosting a 'Night of Prophecy' on August 15th this year?"

　Professor Mitis's smile seemed to freeze instantly, and after a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Such an important matter, and you didn't even inform me!"

　“Huh.” Dark chuckled softly.

　He had already guessed this when he heard that the Star Tower was going to hold a "Night of Prophecy", but he was still surprised after it was confirmed.

　It seems Professor Mitia isn't particularly well-liked in the Star Tower. She managed to get this news from him, an outsider, much earlier than he could.

　After calming down, Professor Mitis asked, "What happened? Who told you?"

　Dak then briefly recounted what had happened as early as possible.

　Professor Mitis frowned and said, "What did you say? Grinton, with me present, bypassed me and wanted to take you as his disciple."

　Dak maintained his smile and did not interrupt.

　Professor Mitis exclaimed angrily, "When I get back, I'll give him a piece of my mind!" Dark then asked, "Professor, why is the Master of the Star Tower holding the 'Night of Prophecy' at this time?"

　Professor Mitia replied without hesitation, "They've simply sensed a future crisis, just like us. They're using this opportunity to unite their efforts, interpret the future's trajectory, and find the right path. Since its inception, the Star Tower has held a 'Night of Prophecy' before every disaster, simply to ensure its survival. However, the prophecies emanating from the 'Night of Prophecy' always serve as warnings to the world, helping people avoid calamities. This has gradually elevated the Star Tower's status. Of course, it has also earned the 'Night of Prophecy' the infamous title of 'Night of Disaster.'"

　After listening carefully, Dark suddenly spoke up: "Then, on the 'Night of Prophecy,' will any prophets see the future that Eudora foresaw?"

　Professor Mitya said, "The probability is very high. We'd better be prepared that news of the 'Resurrection of the Gods' will spread throughout the world on that day."

　Dark took a deep breath and said, "This is no small matter."

　Professor Mitya said, "It's the same every time the apocalypse comes. You just get used to it."

　Dak smiled wryly: "I've never experienced that."

　Professor Mitis shrugged and spread her hands, saying, "I haven't experienced that either." Darke: "Then tell me about being used to it?"

　Professor Mitya pointed to her head and said, "I've seen it in prophecies a lot."

　Dark said silently, "Once the news of the 'Resurrection of the Gods' spreads, some will go mad. But many more will only feel confusion and fear about the future... Chaos is coming!"

　Professor Mitya said, "That was the Tower Master's decision, and I believe he must have his own reasons. Perhaps, in places we are unaware of, the situation has developed to the point where we have no choice but to make this news public."

　“Perhaps.” Dark took another breath and said, “There is definitely a very bad feeling.”

　Professor Mitya said, "I heard from Sylph that the matter of the Mountain of the Gods will be resolved soon. I don't know if that's good or bad."

　"I hope it's good news," Dark said.

　...

Chapter 857 Darkdemon and Demon King No. 2 (7,000 votes requested)

　This world is so vast that even when gods existed, they could not fully control it, let alone in this era where humans are the protagonists.

　As part of the universe, we should have both the courage to shatter the clouds and the humility to be human.

　Blind confidence will only lead to destruction.

　"Professor, could you tell me more about the 'Night of Prophecy'?"

　After calming down, Dark spoke to Professor Mitia. Professor Mitia, of course, did not refuse. She gestured for Dark to sit beside her and then recounted what she knew about the "Night of Prophecy" throughout the ages.

　Unbeknownst to them, another person had joined their side.

　Ergane, with her intense curiosity about the unknown, sat in her chair and listened attentively.

　Professor Mitia did not stop there. She began by talking about the "night of prophecy" from an unknown period in the past, and gradually moved on to the more recent "nights of prophecy".

　Among them, the "Night of Prophecy" before the war between humans and demons broke out is the most famous in this era.

　At that time, the Star Tower had already been erected on the earth.

　Countless prophets ascended the Star Tower, making prophecies of the end of the world. Some diviners, after glimpsing the tragic and terrifying fate of the future, could not bear the inner pressure and jumped off the Star Tower.

　It seems that for them, death was the only way out. That's not an exaggeration.

　As it turned out, the millennia-long war that followed brought humanity far greater sorrow and suffering than had been foretold.

　After that "Night of Prophecy," the Star Tower closed its doors to visitors. But in reality, it remained hidden behind the scenes, exerting a significant influence on the course of the war.

　When the "Night of Prophecy" was held again, it was no longer themed around "predicting disasters"—after all, disasters are always present and there is no need for prophecy.

　All people want to hear is when the war will end and when hope will arrive.

　In the most recent "Night of Prophecy," a prophet correctly predicted the end of the war and even the "sacrifice of heroes."

　But what makes heroes heroes is that even knowing they face a near-certain death, they will still rush to the battlefield without hesitation.

　The prophecy of sacrifice that circulated from the "Night of Prophecy" did not shake the hearts of any hero.

　On the contrary, the "foreseeable" victory strengthened their will to forge ahead!

　The prophecy came true, and the hero Bright God died in battle to seal the Demon King.

　And the war ended thereafter.

　Humanity has ushered in the dawn.

　However, the night is endless, and dawn is fleeting.

　Just over a decade later, the gloom has returned. Whether the future will be good or bad remains uncertain. Perhaps this is what the "Night of Prophecy" seeks to know.

　Professor Mitya suddenly stood up and said, "Alright, that's enough for now. Now it's your turn to take me to see the progress of the experiment preparations."

　Dark looked at Ergani, who nodded and led them to another laboratory.

　Time flies, and before we know it, it's the evening of the last Wednesday of March.

　When people are working towards a clear goal, their perception of time always seems exceptionally fast.

　After eight days and seven nights, the first round of teaching on "Magic Language" has finally come to an end.

　Professor Hoddle Bode did not hold any tests or similar programs at the end.

　In short, after these seven lessons, he has covered everything he wanted to teach.

　As for whether students can learn

　That's not something he, as a professor, needs to consider.

　"The second round of courses will be scheduled for April. If you want to withdraw, please let me know before then."

　After leaving those words, Professor Hoddle Bode asked the students to leave his office.

　The seven people standing at the office door exchanged bewildered glances. "Well, please come and sit in my office first."

　Dak offered a proposal.

　The seven then went to the first-year math professor's office. Since it was past midnight, Duck didn't offer much hospitality. He told the students to sit down wherever they liked and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you all these past few days. This whole thing started because of me."

　"How could it be hard work?" Sarah smiled, "This is a rare opportunity. We should be thanking you."

　“That’s right!” Heidi agreed. Even Emma nodded slightly.

　After observing for a week, Dak said, "The first round of courses is now over, and Professor Bode's teaching level is very high. However, because the time was compressed too much, even I found it quite difficult to learn. Therefore, I suggest that you do not force yourself to continue with the second round of courses until you have fully digested the content of the first round of courses."

　Although no one was staring at him, Witt instinctively felt that everyone's eyes were drawn to him.

　Although he was extremely unwilling, he still chose to face reality: "That's right, I will master the third-year content as soon as possible, and then relearn the fourth-year content taught by Professor Bod."

　“Me too!” Diana immediately raised her hand and said, “I’ll drop out too.” Rose said, “Then I won’t continue studying either. For me, it would already be very difficult to master all the fourth-year magical languages ​​within this semester.”

　“Don’t look at me, I’m not backing down!” Sarah declared immediately. “If Sarah doesn’t back down, neither do I,” Heidi said. Emma: “…”

　And so it was settled.

　If Witt, Rose, and Diana were to continue in the second round, it would simply be a waste of time.

　In fact, Sarah, Heidi, and Emma were also struggling quite a bit. But if they could digest the material as much as possible before the second round of lessons began, they might still be able to learn something during the second round.

　As long as there is any gain, it's always a profit.

　Moreover, as always, Dark will copy all the blackboard writing and naturally share it with them.

　Even if they can't study this semester, there's still a long holiday! A three-month holiday is enough for them to catch up.

　Once they can master fifth-grade level magical language before the start of third grade, the "grade" gap will no longer be a reason to limit their level.

　The academy duelists who are currently active on the pinnacle stage have long since mastered the magical language through self-study.
