Raising all of humanity: Starting with a backyard pool world

In a VIP ward of a private hospital in Beijing, Chen Jing lay on her hospital bed.

The monotonous beeping of the monitor serves as a rhythmic countdown to the passing of life.

Her own body, the very body she had once pushed to its limits and used to win her countless business battles, was irreversibly coming to a standstill.

His glorious life replayed in his mind.

Every precise analysis of multinational corporations' financial statements, every near-perfect prediction and strategic move in anticipation of market trends...

Those days and nights of decisive battles brought her the thrill of wealth and... the pleasure of defeating her opponents.

The only regret is that wisdom cannot overcome time; Chen Jing's consciousness began to fade, and her life came to an end.

She began to fall until she saw a light.

The light had no temperature, was not dazzling; it simply existed, distorting light and space.

She reached out and grasped it.

……

The crisp chirping of birds and the intoxicating fragrance of flowers awakened Chen Jing from her reverie.

What comes into view is the dappled, warm sunlight filtering through the gaps in the layers of the huge tree canopy.

A wonderful fragrance of damp earth, humus, and an ancient type of paper.

She propped herself up and sat up, only to find to her astonishment that her old, sickly body had vanished.

In return, she possessed a vibrant, youthful, and elegant perfect body.

Not far away, there was a small puddle formed by water accumulating in a depression, its surface as clear as a mirror.

Chen Jing stepped forward and saw what she looked like at that moment.

She's not the kind of person who doesn't pay attention to modern entertainment at all; this phenomenon... seems to be called time travel?

Her skin was so fair it was almost translucent, she had a cascade of long silver hair, and a pair of eyes that shimmered with a pale purple glow in the sunlight.

The most striking feature was her pair of sharp, elegant ears, hidden among her hair.

"An elf?" Chen Jing touched her ears, her face showing little surprise.

She began to examine her surroundings.

She was in the ruins of a library that was so magnificent it was unimaginable.

The enormous dome has collapsed, revealing the azure sky.

The massive stone structure, which should have been a bookshelf, stands silently like the skeleton of a giant, covered with ancient vines and blooming with unknown little flowers.

Countless towering trees rise from the foundation of the library, their roots intertwined with the building's foundation stones, their branches piercing through the openings in the dome, supporting a new sky.

This is a miraculous place, completely taken over by nature, yet still retaining the last vestiges of civilization.

For any explorer, this is a lost treasure trove.

But for a wise person like Chen Jing, whose lifelong pursuit is knowledge and control...

This is paradise.

"How interesting." She stood up and strolled leisurely through the ruins.

She showed little interest in the exquisite sculptures and dilapidated murals; her gaze was drawn to the intricately structured, shimmering elven runes on the walls.

Surprisingly, Chen Jing was able to understand it...

Driven by curiosity, she reached out and gently touched one of the brightest runes.

It was as if a switch had been turned on, and a pure gift flowed into the memories of the physical body Chen Jing was currently using.

A vast amount of knowledge and information flooded into her mind.

Chen Jing is already accustomed to processing massive amounts of information in an instant and finding the key points from them, which is also her talent for success in the business world.

Even if we reach the AI ​​era, we'll still be a bit behind AI itself.

She discovered that she could read it.

Not only can they read it, but they can also understand and analyze it.

Guided by the torrent of knowledge, we passed through the ruins and arrived at the very center of this huge abandoned library.

There, she saw a strange plant growing from deep underground, several meters tall, its surface covered with strange mycelial veins.

But Chen Jing, with the knowledge she had just acquired, saw through its true nature at a glance.

One, "a broken branch of the World Tree".

The original owner's few experiences were fully revealed at this moment. She, Thea, triggered the taboo for this very reason and was killed by the backlash.

"Interesting..." A flash of understanding crossed Chen Jing's eyes, also intrigued by what Thea was researching.

Instinctively, she activated the forbidden magic that Thea had been researching, placing her slender, fair hand on the [Heavenly Dao Mycelium].

Throughout the entire library, the magical nodes that Thea had set up and had been dormant for thousands of years were simultaneously activated at this moment!

Countless long-forgotten runes lit up, and a soft arcane glow flickered and rose in every corner of the ruins like a breath.

[Heavenly Dao Log (Not Open to Mortals): Target: Request the lowest level of World Law Permission....]

[Ask the Creator if this is open...?]

[Agreed, and locked... Okay, understood.]

[Low-level world access has been granted to the target individual "Thea," granting her the right to wield extraordinary powers.]

[With increased observational weight, the path of magic can be deduced....]

It seemed as if the effects of forbidden magic had been triggered, or perhaps... Chen Jing had entered a new world, and a concept was taking root deep within her soul.

In her original form, Thea's magical talent was awakened, even reaching an unprecedented level.

The magic of this world is too pure and too crude; the true nature of magic is being revealed.

She can delve into this field and even push it to its highest possible level!

She can easily conjure a devastating fireball at her fingertips, or make the withered vines beneath her feet bloom into dazzling flowers in an instant.

But she didn't do that.

A mature manager is well aware of the limitations of brute force.

A qualified person in power, upon acquiring power, will never think about how to enjoy it, but rather how to consolidate it and make the power system serve their greater goals.

She did not choose to delve into the vast and profound knowledge of magic on her own.

Instead, she closed her eyes and issued her first call and command to her compatriots, as the one who had mastered the highest level of magic.

With the help of her magical talent, even though the original elf had some complaints about her, she knew that she had succeeded and stolen the fruit.

"In the name of magic: repair and activate all the defensive magic arrays of this temple."

"At the same time, repair and activate the long-distance communication array."

With her will, the entire library ruins, this massive system, began to operate with extremely high efficiency.

Arcane energy flows through the underground energy channels according to her commands.

The damaged rune loops were automatically repaired by energy, and the broken magical nodes were reconnected.

A massive, invisible dome of light opened up above the ruins, enveloping the library and shutting it out from all outside observation.

Immediately afterwards, at the very top of the spire, a communication array that had been sealed away for thousands of years, after absorbing enough energy, shone brightly once more.

The light shot into the sky, transforming into invisible magical ripples above the clouds, sending a summons signal to all parts of the forest and to all "compatriots" with spellcasting talents who could sense this fluctuation.

After doing all this, Chen Jing...

The elf, Thea, has now opened her eyes.

An individual's strength is ultimately limited, but the power of an organization, an organization composed of top talents that follows the principles of absolute rationality and the supremacy of knowledge, is immeasurable.

She wants to establish a new order for spellcasters on this ruin.

An efficient, precise, and absolutely obedient Arcane Council...

She will be the organization's first and only "Arcane Council President".

Her era has begun.
