After Wizarding World was disclosed to the world, the world ushered in earth-shaking changes. Under the overall planning of Ian, wizards began to live together with Muggles, using magic to create value for human society. Global media continue to broadcast images of wizards using magic to assist infrastructure construction, cure terminal diseases, and increase agricultural production. These positive reports have established a good image for the wizard community.

In the same year, Triwizard Tournament, originally planned to be held, was transformed by Ian into a joint competition for eleven magic schools around the world, and was broadcast live simultaneously to wizards and Muggles. This competition The age limit was removed. In the end, Hermione·Granger represented Hogwarts in the competition and won the overall Champion, winning a worldwide reputation.

In the summer of 1995, after the competition, Arthur·Weasley launched the first magic technology product: "Monster Duel Disk" powered by magic Crystal. This invention made Muggle World people can also experience the fun of <Yu-Gi-Oh!> cards. In January of the following year, World Duel Monsters Tournament was successfully held. Wizards and Muggles competed on the same stage, further promoting the Fusion of the two major civilizations.

At the same time, the Quidditch movement was officially introduced into Muggles society. Arthur·Weasley continued their efforts and developed flying broomsticks equipped with magic Crystal. These broomsticks were enchanted by Flying Charm and mind control runes, allowing them to Ordinary people can also control it as freely as a wizard. With the popularity of magic broomsticks, Quidditch quickly became a mainstream sport, professional teams were established in various places, and the competition system became increasingly complete. On Quidditch World Cup, wizards and Muggles players competed together for the first time, showing a sportsmanship that transcended racial boundaries.

In November 1996, an unexpected incident broke the peace. The Pope, who was supposed to be under control, suddenly broke free from his restraints and publicly denounced wizards as "minions of the devil" in a live broadcast. Religious believers responded one after another, and the harmonious coexistence of the two civilizations encountered severe challenges.

After emergency investigation, Ian discovered that this was a conspiracy of a latent organization, which was determined to destroy the Fusion process at the risk of enduring Soul Contract's backlash. The Pope's declaration aroused oppositional emotions, and long-hidden Envy and fear began to emerge.

Ian and Amelia immediately took control of the direction of public opinion, broadcasting around the clock "If Jesus is real, he is probably a wizard" and other opinions. Images of wizards showing miracles such as walking on water, turning water into wine, and curing the blind spread all over the world.

This war of public opinion is far from over. Ian was instructed to expose the contradictions in religious texts, such as the fact that the widely circulated portrait of Jesus was actually derived from the appearance of Cesare Borgia, and the fact that Jesus, as a Jew born in the Middle East, could not have white features. More scandals that religious leaders had concealed for hundreds of years were made public.

"Religion should not interfere with governance, but forcible prohibition will only cause turmoil." Ian set the tone at the internal meeting. He adopted a compromise strategy to suppress the influence of religion to a minimum, making it exist only as a personal spiritual sustenance.

After the religious turmoil calmed down, the world ushered in a period of relative peace. Wizards naturally integrated into society, and magic and technology developed together at an unimaginable speed.

However, in 1998, a new crisis came: space cracks appeared all over the world, and the Dementors army from another dimension invaded the earth. These creatures that looked like the incarnations of Bleach fed on human souls and caused countless tragedies in a short period of time. Modern weapons had little effect on these invisible creatures, and nuclear explosions could not damage them at all. Fortunately, magic technology allows ordinary people to see these invaders, and wizards have effective spells to fight against them.

Under the framework of United Nations, Earth Defense Alliance was quickly established. As the leader of Wizarding World and the most powerful wizard, Ian was elected as the chairman of the alliance. His first order triggered Controversy: It requires the proper preservation of the bodies of all victims whose souls have been sucked away, and promises to find a rescue method. Although the alliance internally questioned that this move was resource-intensive and lacked theoretical basis, Ian still insisted on its own opinion, and this decision won widespread support from the public.

In the next two years, the Alliance launched an all-out war with Dementors. Due to the limited number of wizards who could effectively fight these creatures, the battle was extremely brutal. More than 100 million people lost their souls and fell into a vegetative state. A turning point came in 2000, when the mass production of new magical technology weapons changed the war situation. This firearm enchanted with Patronus Charm could effectively kill Dementors, turning the war situation around in just a few months.

In the end, Ian located King Dementors, the mastermind behind the invasion. This battle, known as "Divine Showdown" in later generations, was broadcast live to the world. The fierce battle between the two strong men redefined people's understanding of power. After defeating King Dementors, Ian successfully regained all the devoured souls, allowing hundreds of millions of victims to regain their lives.

However, the joy of victory was quickly diluted by news: the Earth hero announced his resignation as chairman of the alliance and disbanded the Provisional Authority. The people panicked and continued protests swept the world. At a time when the threat to the universe is undeniable, people urgently need a strong leader.

After three months of public opinion boiling, Ian finally responded to the people's voice. He established Arcane Empire and ascended the throne as consul. In order to prevent the corruption of power, he established Ten Commandments Council composed of nine elected members and a speaker he personally designated. Although the consul has absolute power, he promised not to easily interfere in daily government affairs.

Time flies, Arcane Empire has gone through thirty-five years.
