After releasing the terrifying Spiritual Pressure that enveloped the world, Ian slowly landed on the surface of the earth. The moment he landed, he immediately noticed something strange.
"The concentration of magic in the environment is too high, at least 12 times what it was when I left," he whispered to himself.
In the previous "Undead Fusion World" (this is his name for the previous universe, after all, including Frank, Spain Conqueror, the Mummy movies and so on) And Kaulder, the theme of that world is almost all undead), and the magic power is almost non-existent. Therefore, after returning to this world full of magic power, Ian's senses were strongly impacted.
He was eager to know the cause of all this. With the highest authority, he immediately logged in to Skynet and quickly found the answer.
It turned out that as early as when he was building Pangaea, he noticed that many monuments around the world - such as pyramids scattered around the world - formed a strange rune array.
At that time, he speculated that Herpo was guiding different civilizations on the earth to establish some kind of Ritual Magic, aiming to activate Leyline Nodes and return magic power to the environment.
After capturing Herpo, Ian assigned a dedicated person to research and perfect this unfinished magic.
Obviously, this project was a great success, and this is the Source whose magic power suddenly surged.
Ian called up the relevant task report and browsed it quickly.
"Magic is really a wonderful thing," Ian sighed.
According to the latest discovery, the entire Solar System of Leyline Nodes had entered a dormant state for some reason. The reason was that a large amount of magic power had been extracted instantly, almost destroying the entire leyline system.
In order to protect themselves, Leyline Nodes was forced to sleep. However, they did not stop producing magic power.
Over the past 12,000 years, a massive amount of magic power has been accumulated. Therefore, when "Magic Activation Ritual" was activated, these long-accumulated magic powers were released into the environment at once, bringing about earth-shaking changes to the Empire.
The first significant change is: since the environment changed two years ago, the number of newborns with magical talents has increased dramatically.
Although the birth rate has also increased slightly, there is currently insufficient data to prove a direct link between the two.
The second change is: the birth of Arcane Warlock.
The prototype of this profession has existed since Ian created a method for the Empire citizens to own Gate of Truth.
However, as the magic power of the environment skyrockets, even those without magic power or magic core in their bodies can more easily control the natural magic power of the outside world to cast spells through Gate of Truth.
Although this profession relies too much on the environment, with the introduction of the new magic system brought back from another world by the Ian team, Arcane Warlock will surely shine in the future.
By then, they will be able to control various forms of energy: Crustal Energy, geothermal energy, solar energy, ocean energy, metal energy from technological products, and even Cosmic Energy.
Of course, the premise is that they must focus on improving the strength of their souls.
After checking the required information, Ian teleported again.
This time, he appeared at the top of Himalayas and Mount Everest.
He carefully observed the world's highest peak.
Even without measuring, he could feel that the height of the mountain had increased from more than 8,000 meters to nearly 10,000 meters.
"Is this one of the high magic areas?"
His eyes flashed with golden light, and he saw through the mountain into the depths: some rock-like creatures were gestating there.
Immediately afterwards, Ian teleported to an area of Chile.
The scene here is even more terrifying - the volcano is constantly erupting as if it is breathing, and the magma is flowing freely. Hundreds of Lava Monster are wandering around the volcano group.
The weakest among them also has the strength of First Tier, and is over 3 meters tall.
There are also 10 Fourth Tier Lava Monster with a height of 15 meters.
They are guarding a 20-meter-high giant red egg like stars holding the moon.
Ian can feel the amazing heat and magic fluctuations emanating from the egg - Lava Lord, Fifth Tier, is gestating inside.
With Magic Revival, such high-magic areas have sprung up all over the world.
In these places, the concentration of magic power is so high that it is impossible for ordinary people to set foot there.
Even Arcanist must reach a certain level to breathe and survive in it.
What's worse is that due to its influence, the natural environment in these areas has become extremely violent and dangerous.
Not only have the original dormant volcanoes become active again, but the intensity and scale of their eruptions have also increased exponentially; sandstorms strong enough to shred steel are blowing in desert areas all year round; tsunamis and waterspouts occur frequently in high-magic areas in the ocean.
Even in some ordinary high-magic areas, storms composed entirely of magic have become a common occurrence.
Coupled with the countless elemental creatures born in these areas, Empire has classified all high-demon areas as "forbidden areas" and isolated them with barriers.
Of course, Empire also knows that an area containing such huge magic power will be a priceless treasure in the future.
The reason why it is just isolation and monitoring now is because the evolution of these areas is not yet complete.
Ian checked several areas and confirmed that there is no risk of losing control. The strongest elemental creature born so far is no more than Fifth Tier, so it is not a problem.
Looking at all this, Ian couldn't help but imagine: What would it be like if this kind of drastic change in the environment happened in Old Era?
There is no doubt that human technological civilization will be completely destroyed by these monsters, and will be replaced by the rise of magical civilization.
After all, it took only two years for the Fourth Tier creature to be able to single-handedly destroy a country.
Of course, the premise is that the wizards at that time can adapt to this change and seize the opportunity to improve their strength.
According to information on the Internet, Ian teleported to Canada.
In the invisible state, he locked his eyes on a young man who was speeding on a hoverboard.
There is a faint trace of Battle Aura in this young man's body, but there is no magic power.
However, he is special: he is a Awakened Ones.
Magic Revival gives some people special abilities or talents.
According to the data collected, these abilities range from elemental manipulation to teleportation to various bizarre magical abilities.
They can use these abilities instinctively without learning or training, although intense training can increase their power and endurance.
Awakened Ones is not limited to ordinary people - although 86% of Awakened Ones have no previous magical talent.
Some Arcanist also experienced awakening phenomena, which further enhanced their talents in certain areas.
For example, Arcanist, who awakened the ability of fire, found that their understanding, control and use efficiency of fire magic had made a qualitative leap.
Ian examined the young man's soul. In his Soul Dimension were engraved some strange runes that Ian had never seen before.
This is the source of Awakened Ones's power.
Their souls underwent some kind of mutation and were given the ability to control magic.
As long as the mind moves, the runes in the soul can be activated, and then the magic power in the environment can be passively mobilized to drive the spell.
"How charming," Ian thought to himself, "These Awakened Ones may be the prototypes of the first batch of spellcasters on History of Magic."
In ancient times, when human beings were still in a state of ignorance, it was likely that some people awakened this talent and were regarded as gods or had a lofty status.
They are the first generation of wizards or mages.
Later, someone discovered Soul Dimension and the runes in it, began to study its mystery and the nature of magic, and finally systematized it, creating a complete magic system including magic and spells.
"These runes may be crucial to perfecting Arcane Rune System. They are likely to be the Primordial Runes of this universe, which is the source of all other runes - at least the current Ancient Runes should have evolved from them."
"The value of studying them is immeasurable."
After making up his mind, Ian started teleporting again.
There was one last place he had to check before going to meet his family.
