A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 441 Meeting

When Jiang Shuzhou uttered those words, the speed at which the world collapsed increased countless times. Almost instantly, the once vast world became a cramped space of only a few thousand square meters.

At the same time, countless dreamlike powers emanated from all around, instantly transforming the venue from the original mountaintop into a dreamlike arena.

At the same time, the remnants of the dead World Tree seemed to come alive, growing wildly and spreading throughout the world, eventually forming a magnificent throne.

As a mage, Jiang Shuzhou would naturally not challenge anyone to a duel. Even if he were to fight, it would be in a place he had created himself.

"Child, let me see your resolve, let me see if you're qualified to challenge me!"

After Jiang Shuzhou finished speaking, he gently poked the child with his finger, intending to teach him a lesson.

"Whether I'm qualified or not, your death will prove it!"

Grace's face was ashen, her eyes cold.

She knew that these gods were still the same as before, unable to let go of their pride.

At the same time, Grace looked beyond the world and saw that enormous figure.

At this moment, Jiang Shuzhou was resting his chin on one hand and pointing his finger at the world with the other. He had a smile on his face and a playful and amused look in his eyes, as if he were watching a theatrical performance.

That look reminded Grace of the playwright, and also of her mentor, Jiang Shuzhou.

They are both like this, enjoying interesting things. However, Jiang Shuzhou is clearly more principled and kinder than the other two.

They are all bastards and beasts who toy with the lives of billions of people around the world, taking their life and death as amusement, and watching them struggle.

But the master was different. He never killed innocent people indiscriminately, he didn't like tragedies, and he was kind and would not torture anyone.

Thinking of this, Grace's eyes grew even colder.

The world may not accept my master, but that doesn't matter. I will save him, and then we will leave together, go to reality, and do experiments together, write papers together, and invent and create together.

This time, I'm going to be his teacher.

"Get down here!"

Without any mercy, Grace unleashed a spell that transformed into countless chains that shot straight toward Jiang Shuzhou.

The chains, imbued with the power of dreams and order, seemed irresistible, binding Jiang Shuzhou tightly and dragging him into the world.

Clearly, this was a spell that Grace created specifically to deal with the Dreamer.

Jiang Shuzhou pursed his lips in response, offering no resistance, which could be considered as going easy on him.

And so, Jiang Shuzhou was drawn into this world.

But for Jiang Shuzhou, it didn't matter at all.

After all, that divine throne was created specifically for this purpose.

Unfortunately, Jiang Shuzhou was still planning to play around with it, but he didn't expect Grace to be so impatient.

Grace had her reasons for doing this. After all, if she let Jiang Shuzhou stay outside the boundary, Grace's home-field disadvantage would increase, and her attacks would be less likely to harm Jiang Shuzhou's main body.

But now that Jiang Shuzhou has entered the fray, it's like he's got a health bar. Although it's difficult to fight him, it's still possible.

"Sigh, young people these days are so impatient."

The words seemed strangely familiar as the deity before them uttered these words.

Grace felt that these words sounded familiar. Not only had the Dreamer said them, but the playwright seemed to have said them as well, and her master also seemed to have said them.

Is this a popular phrase?

However, when Grace saw the scene before her, her expression gradually became distorted with anger.

"Why did you use his image!"

On the magnificent throne sat a figure that Grace recognized very well—Jiang Shuzhou.

Naturally, Jiang Shuzhou wanted to be himself, which also reflected his quirky sense of humor.

Even after becoming a god, Jiang Shuzhou still wants to be the most mischievous and interesting god.

Otherwise, sitting in that shabby seat every day, watching a bunch of people below kowtow, would be utterly pointless.

This might be why Jiang Shuzhou chose humanity; becoming a god is too boring, offers no challenge, and isn't very free.

However, Jiang Shuzhou's situation can be considered free, since he does not need faith. Although he is still bound by the laws, at least in theory he can truly be eternal.

However, this kind of eternity is not what Jiang Shuzhou wants, and this kind of eternity is obtained by sacrificing the future.

For Jiang Shuzhou, going far is more important than going fast.

With his talent, he has a bright future ahead of him and there is no need to worry about him hitting a bottleneck.

So for others, this kind of thing—being able to be free from the influence of faith and simply be a dog of the law—is something they would love to do, but Jiang Shuzhou disdains it.

An eerie silence fell over the scene.

Jiang Shuzhou sat sideways on the throne, watching Grace with great interest, his delight barely concealed. Grace, on the other hand, trembled with rage, vowing to kill the man who dared to desecrate her beloved.

I wonder what Grace's expression will be when she finds out that the person in front of her is not the kind of person she thought was trying to sway her with his appearance, but is actually her true love.

Jiang Shuzhou was looking forward to it, but He didn't make it clear, otherwise the plan would not be able to be implemented.

For the first time, Jiang Shuzhou looked at Grace and carefully examined her.

The girl who was once skinny and malnourished is gone; she has grown up.

She is now incredibly beautiful, with flawless skin and waist-length black hair. However, the anger on her face diminishes her beauty somewhat, suggesting that she hasn't managed her emotions very well.

Of course, big breasts mean no brains, while mages are generally very smart, so it's only natural that Grace could see her toes when she looked down.

When Jiang Shuzhou looked at Grace, Grace was also looking at Jiang Shuzhou.

The young man before her seemed like her true master, except that her master would not look at her with such eyes, nor would he be her enemy.

The master in front of me was as handsome as ever, like a pretty boy.

The only difference is that now, countless stars can be clearly seen in his black eyes, and his hair has become longer, giving him a kind of androgynous beauty.

It's a pity that that face was used by a beast.

The thought of this caused Grace's murderous intent to grow uncontrollably.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Jiang Shuzhou said.

"Are you reluctant to attack this face?"

Although Grace didn't want to admit it, for some reason, there was a force preventing her from drawing her sword and killing the man in front of her.

"Alright then, I'll allow you to draw your sword against me this time."
